The traditional
Easter ham will
make for a
pricier dinner
on tables this
year.
OMAHA, Neb. — Ham will
be the centerpiece of many
Easter dinners this weekend,
but the cost of that traditional
main dish may make it harder
for families to live high on the
hog.
Ham prices have been higher
than usual for the past two
years because the cost of pig
feed has gone up, and some
major pork producers are
spending millions to convert
barns as they phase out
cramped cages used to confine
pregnant sows.
Ham has been selling whole-
sale for 75 to 80 cents per
pound this spring,
which is in line
with last year’s
prices but
well above
the 55 cents
per pound
aver- age
for
the previous five years.
A recent check at one Oma-
ha-area supermarket found
boneless Hormel hams selling
for about $2.20 per pound,

TUNKHANNOCK – Ryan An-
drews hopes to show Republican
presidential front runner Mitt Rom-
ney how his business fits with big
themes in this year’s election race.
“We want Mr. Romney to see how
the natural-gas production industry
has created many secure jobs for lo-
cals in our region by showing him
our operations and introducing him
to our dedicated employees,” An-
drews, co-owner of Mountain Ener-
gy Services, said.
The Tunkhannock business is one
of two stops the former Massachu-
setts governor is making today on a
campaign swing through Pennsylva-
nia in advance of the state primary
on April 24.
“We want to get the message out
there that the gas industry has the
potential to change the way of life for
all Americans, and I think Mitt Rom-
ney understands that to run a suc-
cessful business in this country you
need less government and entitle-
ments and more hard work,” said
Matt Andrews.
Romney is expected to speak at
approximately 2:45 p.m. He was
scheduled to make an appearance in
Harrisburg before traveling to Tunk-
hannock. His topic is expected to be
energy.
A person close to the campaign
said energy continues to be an im-
portant issue to Pennsylvania voters
as well as to all Americans. Moun-
tain Energy Systems was selected

TOBYHANNA – At least 30 and as many as
130 contracted employees at the Tobyhanna
Army Depot could lose their jobs by this sum-
mer, a depot spokesman confirmed on Wednes-
day.
The layoffs will begin April 13, said Ed Mick-
ley, the public affairs offi-
cer for Northeastern
Pennsylvania’s largest
employer.
The company that con-
tracts with the depot to
provide the employees,
URS Federal Support Ser-
vices Inc. of Oklahoma
City, was informed Tues-
day of the decision. Work-
ers were told Wednesday,
though it will be up to
URS to determine which
employees will be affect-
ed. Mickley said that “130
out of 5,400 is not a lot”
but acknowledged it is a
major blow for those who
will be laid off. He also noted that 130 is not a
guaranteed number, but a worst-case estimate.
Contractors make up 850 of the 5,400 posi-
tions at the depot in Monroe County.
The contractors handle industrial trades and
electronics jobs. No Army civilian employees

lose their jobs April 13, a spokesman said.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – Da-
niel Madry said he has no ill
feelings for two women he said
reported him trespassing on
private property when visiting
the roadside memorial mark-
ing where his teen son died last
summer.
“I’m not angry, I’m not bitter.
I’m grieving,” Madry, 52, said
before a summary trial on a de-
fiant trespass charge.
The summary trial before
District Judge Michael Dotzel
was averted when an agree-
ment was reached after Madry
pledged not to go onto private
property in Fairview Township
for one year.
If he obeys the agreement,
Dotzel will dismiss the tres-
pass offense against Madry.
The two women, Sandra
Loeb and Lisa Dean, stayed in a
car and did not go inside

decent exposure and a single
count of involuntary deviate
sexual intercourse to Luzerne
County Court.
Duryea police withdrew a

WILKES-BARRE – A Hazle-
ton man charged with leaving
his two young children unat-
tended in public, assaulting
police officers in the same in-
cident and threatening another
officer was sentenced Wednes-
day to time already served in
prison and 12 years probation.
Alpha Jalloh, 25, of West
Green Street, was sentenced on
three counts of endangering the
welfare of children, two counts
of aggravated assault and one
count each of intimidation of
witnesses and defiant trespass-
ing. Jalloh pleaded guilty to the
charges in February. Jalloh was
released on parole Wednesday
as he had already served 18
months in prison.
Jalloh was charged in April
2010 after police said they
found a 3-year-old boy wearing
no clothing and a 2-year-old
boy wearing only a T-shirt and
diaper unattended in the area.
Jalloh was charged in the
same incident with assaulting
two police officers when they
attempted to take him into
custody for leaving the children
unattended.
In another related incident,
police said Jalloh made threat-
ening motions to a police offi-
cer at an October 2010 hearing
in relation to the case.
In an unrelated case, police
said Jalloh visited the mother
of his two children at work, and
tried to leave the children in
the parking lot.
WILKES-BARRE – A Moun-
tain Top man accused of forg-
ing vehicle registration docu-
ments and insurance fraud in
another case, pleaded guilty to
related charges Monday.
Jade C. Perrillo, 45, of Coun-
try Club Road, entered the plea
to charges including tampering
with records, fraud, false swear-
ing, false insurance claim, and
theft by deception. Judge Jo-
seph Sklarosky, Jr., said Perrillo
will be sentenced on May 18.
Perrillo was charged in July
after he allegedly submitted
hotel and food bills to his insur-
ance carrier in 2010. Perrillo’s
house on Country Club Road in
Dorrance Township was dam-
aged by a fire on July 14, 2010.
Due to the fire, Perrillo was
unable to stay at his house.
Perrillo allegedly submitted a
$2,799 hotel bill and an $11,659
food bill to his insurance carri-
er for reimbursement. Perrillo
claimed he stayed at the Wood-
lands Inn & Resort in Plains
Township, according to the
criminal complaint, even
though he never stayed there.
In the vehicle registration
cases, police say Perrillo, owner
of Jaden’s Auto Works, forged
documents on two different
vehicles he sold to women in
March and April 2011.
As part of his plea agree-
ment, Sklarosky said Perrillo
must cease operations of Ja-
den’s Auto Works, North River
Street, Plains Township, and
must pay more than $7,700 in
restitution.
WILKES-BARRE – An at-
torney who represents a Hazle-
ton man charged in the Novem-
ber 2010 shooting death of a
Hazleton woman filed court
papers Tuesday asking a judge
to not permit certain evidence
at an April 30 trial.
Allyson Kacmarski said in
court papers filed on behalf of
Benjamin Westbrooks, 22,
charged in the shooting death
of Alicia Weaver, that pre-death
photos of Weaver should be
allowed at the trial and that
prosecutors should not be per-
mitted to present evidence of
prior crimes Westbrooks may
have committed.
A judge has not made a rul-
ing on the requests. A hearing
is scheduled for April 17 before
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley.
COURT BRIEFS
HAZLETON – City coun-
cil on Wednesday gave a
preliminary nod to a new
“Quality of Life” ordinance
and tabled two controver-
sial resolutions – one in-
volving taking a commer-
cial propertybyeminent do-
main, the other rescinding
an earlier resolution to
merge public transit oper-
ations with Luzerne Coun-
ty.
The“Qualityof Life” ordi-
nance would give police,
code and health officers au-
thority to issue citations for
20 different violations rang-
ing from failure to remove
snow from a sidewalk in a
timely manner to the accu-
mulation of trash on a prop-
erty.
Currently, many separate
ordinances address all
those issues and require
code or health officers to is-
sue a notice of violation and
allow time to cure it before
issuing a citation and fine.
Under the proposal, cita-
tions and fines could be is-
sued immediately. Fines
would be $25 for a first of-
fense, $50for a second, $100
for a third and $150 or $250
for subsequent violations
within a 12-month period.
Council unanimously ap-
proved amendments allow-
ing more time for snow re-
moval after a snowfall and
voted 3-2 on the ordinance
itself, with Jack Mundy and
JeanMope votingagainst it.
Two more readings are re-
quired for adoption. Mun-
die objected to council be-
ing the first level of appeal;
solicitor Chris Slusser said
he will provide other op-
tions for the next meeting.
Council also unanimous-
ly voted to table a resolu-
tion that would give Mayor
Joseph Yannuzzi authority
to begin eminent domain
proceedings to acquire
properties at 39-41W. Broad
St. – site of the demolished
Greco Centrum/former
Leader Store.
Yannuzzi said he is nego-
tiating a public-private part-
nership to use gaming mon-
ey to build a parking garage
with retail space on the site.
Resident Dee Deakos
said it made no sense to
take the land because Ange-
lo Greco already had plans
to build a “vertical farm” on
the property and, after he
paid to demolish the Cen-
trum building, “to have it
yanked out from under him
is not very nice.”
Deakos said the city
could acquire two adjacent
buildings for sale down the
block and avoid costly liti-
gation with Greco.
Yannuzzi askedcouncil to
table the resolution rescind-
ing a previous resolution to
merge Hazleton Public
Transit with the Luzerne
County Transportation Au-
thority because he and
council received a letter
fromthe state deputy trans-
portation secretary asking
council to postpone the
vote until he could discuss
the situation with them in
person.

HARRISBURG
Boback rail bill passes
The state House on Wednesday
passed legislation sponsored by Rep.
Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, to
provide funding to rehabilitate or re-
place railroad bridges
that were damaged by
last September’s
flooding.
House Bill 2245,
known as the Flood
Disaster Railroad
Assistance Project
Itemization Act of
2012, authorizes the
state Department of Transportation’s
use of $2.6 million from the current
amount appropriated to the General
Fund for Rail Freight Assistance, for
capital projects to rehabilitate or re-
place railroad bridges damaged last
fall.
The legislation now goes before the

Luzerne County’s new ethics
commission hasn’t started its
mission of hearing complaints
yet, and a board member al-
ready has resigned.
Bruce Simpson’s resignation
decision started over a proce-
dural disagreement with fellow
commission member Walter
Griffith. The clash escalated
through emails and online post-
ings, not face-to-face conversa-
tions.
The commission will police
the ethics code that council
must adopt by April 27. Com-
mission members had been
meeting since their March 5
swearing-in to discuss suggest-
ed code revisions.
According to emails supplied
by Simpson and others:
Simpson told county Con-
troller Griffith on March 25 he
had been contacted by council
Chairman JimBobeck and was
asked to submit the commis-
sion’s proposed revisions to
council by March 27, in prepa-
ration of council’s April 2 work
session about the code.
Simpson said council has ju-
risdiction over the final docu-
ment, andhewouldforwardthe
recommendations as request-
ed.
Griffith wrote back asking
Simpson to hold off on the re-
lease, saying the commissionas
a group had agreed to wait until
editing was completed by its
April 4 target date.
After Simpson refused to
wait, Griffith sent an email
March 26 asking commission
members to discuss Simpson’s
“behavior” at their next session.
Simpson told commission
members he wouldn’t attend
commission meetings until the
codewas adoptedbycouncil be-
cause the commission isn’t
mandated to get involved in
code drafting. That temporary
absence prompted Griffith to
ask council to replace him.
Critical of controller
A comment criticizing Grif-
fith appeared under Simpson’s
name at the end of an online
March 29 newspaper article
about the controller’s future au-
dit plans. The comment said
“Wally is in way over his head”
and not qualified to be controll-
er.
Kingston resident Brian
Shiner, a regular county meet-
ing attendee, sent an email to
county officials April 1 saying
the comment, if posted by
Simpson, was “entirelyinappro-
priate” because Simpson was
referring to another commis-
sion member.

HARRISBURG – A bill leading to a
constitutional amendment to reduce the
size of the state legislature passed the
House by a 140-49 vote Wednesday and
now heads to the Senate.
Even with that chamber’s approval,
any reduction in size to what’s currently
the largest full-time legislature of any
state would still be a decade away.
DraftedbyHouse Speaker SamSmith,
R-Punxsutawney, supporters say the bill
would improve efficiency and communi-
cations in the 203-member House, and
could result in modest cost savings.
The bill seeks to cut
the number of House
districts by 50. Since
the bill was first intro-
duced, an amendment
was added that would
also reduce the num-
ber of senators from50
to 38.
The bill had biparti-
san support statewide and locally.
Among the Luzerne County-based
House members who signed on as cos-
ponsors were Reps. Tarah Toohil, R-But-
ler Township, Gerald Mullery, D-New-
port Township, andMike Carroll, D-Avo-
ca. Every county-based representative,
save for Rep. Karen Boback, R-Harveys
Lake, voted in favor.
Carroll said he’s “embraced the con-
cept of a reduction in the size of the Gen-
eral Assemblyfor years. I firmlybelieve a
membershipreductionwouldfacilitate a
more deliberative atmosphere and allow
for a more thorough examination of leg-
islation.”
Boback said she cast a dissenting vote
for myriad reasons, one of which is that
it deprives too many residents of a voice
in Harrisburg while giving a more pow-
erful voice to others.
“To me, downsizing is an attempt to
diminish the representation of the peo-
ple and is simply undemocratic,” she
said. Mullery’s attempts to attach
amendments that would have eliminat-
ed per diems and required House mem-
bers to submit receipts for expenses,
ended the entitlement for state-level
elected officials to use a state-owned ve-
hicle and greatly restricted lobbyists
fromproviding gifts, were not permitted
by GOP leadership to move forward.

WILKES-BARRE -- Through a mas-
sive clean-up event, organizers with
Commonwealth Connections Acade-
my, apubliccyber school, didtheir part
to connect environmental education
with technology Wednesday at Wilkes-
Barre’s Huber Park.
Withthe helpof CCAcommunity co-
ordinators, the school planned the
event in accordance with The Great
American Cleanup of PA -- a statewide
event that encourages the public to
beautify their communities.
Since its inception in 2004, more
than 1.2 million volunteers have re-
moved more than 61million pounds of
litter and waste.
Heather Cherasaro said events like
these are the reasonshe became a com-
munity coordinator for the CCA.
A tuition-free Pennsylvania cyber
school, the CCA features roughly 60
community coordinators working
throughout the state.
Each coordinator plans one
event each month.
“Weput anemphasis oncom-
munity, not just community
service,” Cherasaro said. “But
we also just try getting kids to-
gether.”
Cherasaro said Wednesday’s
turnout was abit morethanshe
expected.
“I chose a small parkbecause
I had no idea so many people
would showup,” she said.
In addition to students,
manyparents andsiblings were
also ready to lend a helping
hand.
Because it’s an online school, CCA’s
parents play an essential role in ensur-
ing students’ successes.
“Families are very important,” Che-
rasaro said. “We get a lot of brothers
andsistersthat showuptoevents, too.”
Atotal of about 45attendees were di-
vided into two groups.
While one group learned about the
decomposition process of recyclables,
another group watched educational
videos about conservation on a flat-
screen television outside of CCA’s 38-
foot mobile classroom.
Traveling statewide, the massive
CCAbus features satellite In-
ternet capability, wireless In-
ternet access, computers, in-
teractive smartboards, mi-
croscopes and all the equip-
ment needed to conduct
complete science labs, read-
ing lessons and many other
classroomactivities.
The mobile classroomacts
as a unique accessory to
hands-on educational field
trips.
Kelly Sussman is an
eighth-grade science teacher
at CCA and knows the value
of learning hands-on.
“We make it educational, but we also
haveour kids doagoodthing, andmay-
be even get some exercise while doing
it,” Sussman said.
After learning about the different
types of litter, students walked the pe-
rimeter of the park picking up bottles,
wrappers and other debris.
Through Keep Pennsylvania Beauti-
ful, registered events can get free clea-
nup supplies such as bags, gloves and
vests donated by the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation.
The Great American Cleanup of PA
takes place fromMarch1to May 31.

WILKES-BARRE – Nearly
hidden behind her sign, Alexis
Vaskas didnot hide her feelings
about the Trayvon Martin
shooting death.
The Misericordia University
student joined a crowd of ap-
proximately 100 people
Wednesday night at the band
shell on Public Square in a vigil
for the 17-year-old Florida boy
shot by a neighborhood watch
volunteer on Feb. 26.
Though the killing occurred
more than a month ago more
than a thousand miles away in
Sanford, Fla. people across the
country have rallied and pro-
tested, demanding an arrest of
the shooter, 28-year-old George
Zimmerman, and criticized the
slow pace of the investigation.
Vaskas wrote in big block let-
ters, “Martin Luther King Jr.
Would be Appalled Justice 4
Trayvon Martin @ All Costs.”
The reference to King was on
purpose, said Vaskas, 18, of
Winter Haven, Fla. The vigil
was held on the 44th anniver-
sary of King’s shooting deathin
Memphis, Tenn., by James Earl
Ray.
Her idea of justice, she said,
“either the death penalty or life
in prison … an eye for an eye.”
The significance of the date
was also noted by Ron Felton,

president of the Wilkes-Barre
chapter of the NAACP.
The local National Associ-
ationof the Advancement of Col-
ored People and the Peace&Jus-
tice Center organized the vigil.
“Trayvon signifies so many in-
dividuals who have fallen to sim-
ilar circumstances,” said Felton.
He opposed the “Stand Your
Ground” laws like the one in
Florida.
“They are moving us back-
ward instead of forward,” he
said.
The laws allow people to act
with deadly force in self defense.
In Pennsylvania, the “Castle
Doctrine” applies inside a home
and outside on the street mak-
ing it justifiable for the use of
force if a person believes it is
necessary to protect “against
death, serious bodily injury, kid-
napping or sexual intercourse
compelled by force or threat.”
Rodrigo Gereda of the Peace
& Justice Center in Wilkes-
Barre held a sign with Martin’s
face and the date of his death,
and the words “All we want is
justice.”
Gereda calledfor unity among
people instead of divisions
based on race, religion and other
factors.
“When we think there is a
them and us, people die,” he
said.
While Jennifer Yuhas of
Wilkes-Barre said she thought
because “the public is so out-
raged about it, it will push” au-
thorities to find out what really
happened, Scott Richardson be-
grudgingly went along.
“I do not have faith in our jus-
tice system, but I have to for oth-
er people,” said Richardson of
the Diversity Institute at Miser-
icordia.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Wilkes-Barre residents Gloria Giles and Blaze Noel, 9, hold up
their signs during a vigil for Trayvon Martin.
Simpson told Shiner he didn’t
forfeit his right to free speech
when he accepted the post and
saidtheyarebothentitledtotheir
own opinion.
Councilman Eugene Kelleher
weighed in with his own email,
saying Simpson’s online posting
was inappropriate and warrants
an apology.
In reply, Simpson emailed a re-
signation that opened by noting
Kelleher donated $500 to Grif-
fith’s controller campaign. Simp-
son said his disagreement with
Griffith started because Simpson
was complying with council’s di-
rective.
“My maingoal nowis to ensure
Walter Griffith goes back to the
auto shop where he belongs,”
Simpson wrote in reference to
Griffith’s prior work experience.
“Hopefully next year, this sad
county will have someone in the
controller’s job that will actually
be capable of carrying out the du-
ties of the office.”
Simpson sent another email re-
ferring to information he has ob-
tained that has been forwarded to
his attorney for possible litiga-
tion.
‘No winners and losers’
Bobeck sent an email to all par-
ties on April 3 requesting “an im-
mediate cessation of emails” on
the topic, saying “there are no
winners and losers in this situa-
tion.”
Council will fill Simpson’s seat
at a special meeting on April 17.
County Manager Robert Lawton,
citizen Margaret Monahan Ho-
gan and District Attorney Stefa-
nie Salavantis also serve on the
commission.
Simpson, 58, a Democrat from
Wilkes-Barre, has a bachelor’s de-
gree in law and most recently
workedas collections chief for the
U.S. Department of the Treasury
until his retirement in1998. Simp-
son unsuccessfully ran for county
council last spring.
Simpson said Wednesday he
would have been an asset on the
boardbecause of his past workex-
perience conducting investiga-
tions, but he is not going to deal
with “petty politics.”
Griffith, who stands by his
work as controller and plans to
seekre-electionnext year, saidhis
primary concern was stopping
Simpson fromtaking action with-
out group consensus. He said
Simpsonfirst emailedhimwrong-
ly thinking Griffith had changed
the time of a meeting without no-
tifying others.
“It really was a non-issue that
has blown into this big thing,” he
said. “I think I’ve done good
things for the people of this coun-
ty. I’ve proven I am the people’s
watchdog.”

OAKLAND, CALIF.
Official says she was target
T
he nursing program director at the
California Christian college where
a gunman went on a deadly shooting
rampage said Wednesday she believes
she was the intended target but was
teaching elsewhere that morning.
Ellen Cervellon said suspect One
Goh dropped out of the nursing pro-
gram at Oikos University around No-
vember, but came back to campus
numerous times to ask her for a full
tuition refund.
Goh got angry when she told him the
school could not refund all his money
because he had been enrolled for nearly
half of the program, she said.
Police previously said Goh was seek-
ing a female administrator when he
went to the Oakland campus Monday
morning. When he was told she wasn’t
there, they say, he began shooting in
classrooms, killing six students and a
receptionist and wounding three oth-
ers.
BEIRUT
Syrian forces hit towns
Syrian artillery pounded the rebel-
lious city of Homs and tanks and
troops stormed towns in the north and
south on Wednesday, deepening doubts
that President Bashar Assad will follow
through on his commitment to a truce
starting next week.
Anti-regime activists cited the new
assaults as evidence Assad is trying to
crush those seeking to overthrow his
regime before the cease-fire brokered
by international envoy Kofi Annan
begins on April 10. Activist groups
reported more than 50 dead nation-
wide for the day.

Ex-Marine details abuse
A 30-year-old former Marine testified
in a landmark clergy abuse case
Wednesday that he was a good child
with a bright future until he was mo-
lested by a priest he described as a
“sexual predator.”
The man described a life of drug and
alcohol abuse, mental illness, suicide
attempts and a criminal history in-
cluding robbery and fraud that defined
his life after what he testified was a
sexual assault by the Rev. James Bren-
nan.
Brennan is charged with raping the
man when he was a 14-year-old boy in
1996.
Brennan is on trial with Monsignor
William Lynn, the first Roman Catholic
official in the U.S. charged with en-
dangering children for allegedly keep-
ing predator priests in parish work.
Both have pleaded not guilty.
HARRISBURG
Court tackles shale dispute
Pennsylvania’s high court will take a
case that’s raising questions about
whether leases to countless properties
signed by the booming natural gas
industry should be interpreted to in-
clude the methane locked in the vast
Marcellus Shale formation.
The state Supreme Court said Tues-
day that it’ll hear a Susquehanna Coun-
ty dispute over the definition of “miner-
al rights.”
A decision that says mineral rights
don’t include the shale gas could upend
many the leases between property
owners and the Marcellus Shale indus-
try.
A couple’s appeal asks the Supreme
Court to rule that 130-year-old case law
applies to the Marcellus Shale.
A lower court panel last year said it
couldn’t be certain.

MOGADISHU, Somalia —
Two weeks ago, Somalia’s Na-
tional Theater reopenedfor the
first time in 20 years for a con-
cert that drew an audience in
festive colors in a city trying to
rise above war. A welcoming
banner proclaimed: “The coun-
try is being rebuilt.”
On Wednesday, the theater
was turned into a scene of
screams, chaos andbloodwhen
a suicide bomber attacked an-
other high-profile event, killing
10 people, wounding dozens
and shattering a tentative
peace in the capital.
The blast occurred as Prime
Minister Abdiweli Mohamed
Ali stood at the podium to de-
liver a speech. He was un-
harmed, said government
spokesman Abdirahman Omar
Osman, but the president of So-
malia’s Olympic committee
and the head of its soccer feder-
ation were among the dead.
The government said a fe-
male suicide bomber carried
out the attack. The Islamist
militant group al-Shabab used
its official Twitter feed to claim
responsibility for the bombing.
The al-Qaida-linked organi-
zationsaidexplosives hadbeen
planted in the theater before
the event, but an Associated
Press journalist at the scene
said there was no large blast
crater, making a suicide bomb-
ing more likely.
Fighters belonging to al-Sha-
bab were pushed out of Mogad-
ishu in August by government
and African Union troops after
two decades of violence that
have gripped the capital.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A sui-

killed at least 10 people, includ-
ing three American soldiers, at a
park in a relatively peaceful area
of northern Afghanistan on
Wednesday, part of an increase in
violence at the start of the spring
fighting season.

fight to assert their power and
undermine U.S. efforts to try to
build up the Af-
ghan military,

ty over the next
couple of years.
Shortly be-
fore noon, the
bomber deto-
nated his explo-
sives at the gate
of the park in
Maimanah, the capital of Faryab
province, police spokesman Lal
Mohammad Ahmad Zai said. His
target was unclear, but Zai said
four of the 10 killed were Afghan
police officers. At least 20 people
were wounded, officials said.
In Kabul, NATO said three of
its service members were killed
in a bombing Wednesday in
northern Afghanistan. It provid-
ed no other details about the at-
tack or the nationalities of the
three.
A senior U.S. defense official,
however, confirmed that three
were American troops killed in
the Faryabbombing. He spoke on
condition of anonymity because
he was not authorized to release
the information.

FORNEY, Texas — As a
twister bore down on her
neighborhood, Sherry Enochs
grabbed the three young chil-
dren in her home and hid in her
bathtub. The winds swirled
and snatched away two of the
children. Her home collapsed
around her.
Miraculously, no one was se-
riously hurt.
Enochs, 53, stood Wednes-
day amid the wreckage of what
was once her home in the
North Texas city of Forney,
among the hardest hit by a se-
ries of tornadoes that barreled
through one of the nation’s
largest metropolitan areas a
day earlier. No one was report-
ed dead, and of the more than
20 injured, only a handful were
seriously hurt.
The National Weather Ser-
vice is investigating how the
tornadoes — which appeared
to flatten some homes and
grazeothers next door —jump-
ed fromplace to place, perhaps
limiting what could have been
a more damaging, deadly
storm.
Seven people were injured in
Forney, none seriously. An ad-
ditional 10 people were hurt in
Lancaster, south of Dallas, and
three people in Arlington, west
of Dallas.

LOS ANGELES — The discovery of a
giant meat-eating dinosaur sporting a
downy coat has some scientists reimagin-
ing the look of Tyrannosaurus rex.
Witha killer jawandsharpclaws, T. rex
has long been depicted in movies and
popular culture as having scaly skin. But
the discovery of an earlier relative sug-
gests the king of dinosaurs may have had
a softer side. The qevidence comes from
the unearthing of a new tyrannosaur spe-
cies in northeastern China that lived 60
million years before T. rex. The fossil re-
cord preserved remains of fluffy down,
making it the largest feathered dinosaur
ever found.
If a T. rex relative hadfeathers, why not
T. rex? Scientists said the evidence is
trending in that direction.
“Peopleneedtostart changingtheir im-
age of T. rex,” said Luis Chiappe, director
of the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural
History Museum of Los Angeles County,
who was not part of the discovery team.
Much smaller dinosaurs with primitive
feathers have been excavated in recent
years, but this is the first direct sign of a
huge, shaggy dinosaur. Scientists have
long debated whether gigantic dinosaurs
lost their feathers the bigger they got or
were just not as extensively covered.
The newtyrannosaur species, Yutyran-
nus huali, is describedinThursday’s issue
of the journal Nature. Its name is a blend
of Latin and Mandarin, which translates
to “beautiful feathered tyrant.”

Evidence of a fuzzy Tyrannosaurus
rex-like dinosaur is found, causing

WILKES-BARRE -- A Ha-
zleton woman charged
with violently shaking and
injuring her then- 5-month-
old son told a judge
Wednesday she was unhap-
py with her attorney’s rep-
resentation.
Andrea Vargas, 24, of
Tamarac Street, appeared
before Luzerne County
Judge David Lupas. She
was scheduled to enter a
guilty plea to
charges relating
to the case.
Vargas was
charged in Feb-
ruary 2011 after
investigators al-
leged she shook
the boy so vio-
lently, the child
required a respi-
rator to help
him breathe.
The child’s cur-
rent condition was un-
known Wednesday.
Vargas told the judge her
attorney, Demetrius Fan-
nick, had not been answer-
ing her correspondence
and said she is unhappy
with his representation.
Vargas had written to Lu-
pas, the judge said
Wednesday, requesting a
new attorney be appointed
to her case.
Fannick said he would
discuss Vargas’ representa-
tion with Chief Public De-
fender Al Flora, as a con-
flict counsel attorney may
have to be assigned.
Lupas scheduled anoth-
er hearing for Vargas on
April 27 and said Vargas
should try to secure an at-
torney before then.
A doctor testified at a
May 2011preliminary hear-
ing that the boy may never
fully recover from his inju-
ries. He said that after an
examination he discovered
previous injuries such as
fractured ribs, legs and
arms that were in the proc-
ess of healing.
Vargas initially told in-
vestigators the infant’s
bruises and bone fractures
were caused by her 1-year-
old girl tossing a metal toy
car into the crib and hit-
ting the baby. She alleged-
ly admitted to
county Detec-
tive Lt. Gary
Capitano that
she violently
shook her baby
when confront-
ed with other in-
juries found by
the doctor.
Capitano tes-
tified at the pre-
liminary hear-
ing that Vargas
initially said she was
watching an NBA basket-
ball game with the biolog-
ical father, Jorge Robles,
on Feb. 3.
During halftime, Vargas
said, her infant began cry-
ing and vomited. Robles
came into the room and
took hold of the infant as
Vargas went into a bath-
room. She alleged her in-
fant stopped breathing and
Robles performed CPR as
Vargas called 911.
Vargas faces charges of
aggravated assault and
child endangerment and a
misdemeanor count of
reckless endangerment.

HARRISBURG – The state Eth-
ics Commission has issued an or-
der regardingacomplaint first filed
in 2009 by a government watchdog
against then-state Sen. Bob Mel-
low.
That order, sent to Mellow on
Monday, has not beenmade public.
JohnJ. Contino, the executive di-
rector of the commission, said he
couldneither confirmnor denyany
such complaint was filed or that an
order was issued. He said that, in
general, the commission makes re-
ports public only after it has com-
pletely winded its way through the
process.
At this point, Contino said,
“there is no publicly available or-
der.”
If anorder was issued, hesaidthe
respondent, in this case Mellow,
would have 30 days to request re-
consideration on the findings.
Thenthe commissionwouldenter-
tain that request; and, if a final or-
der is issued, it wouldbemadepub-
lic.
Gene Stilp, a Luzerne Countyna-
tive who is running for Congress,
said he filed a complaint with the
commission, among other entities,
regarded a matter Stilp and others
felt was unethical.
He said he believes the com-
plaint referenced by the order is in
regard to his, although it was not
clear Wednesday if that was the
case.
At issue was a rental agreement
that Mellow had for his Peckville
district office with building owner
Brad Inc., in which Mellow or his
now ex-wife, Diane, had a 50 per-
cent interest. Payment to oneself is
aviolationof stateethicslawsbut is
not inviolationof aSenaterulethat
allows similar arrangements as
long as there is an independent ap-
praisal of the cost.
Mellow, 70, of Peckville, repre-
sented the 22nd Senatorial Dis-
trict, which serves all of Lackawan-
na and Monroe counties and the
boroughs of Avoca, Dupont and
Duryea in Luzerne County, for 40
years before retiring in 2010.
Last month, Mellow signed pa-
perwork agreeing to pleadguilty to
two federal corruption charges. He
is scheduled to formally enter a
pleainPhiladelphiaonApril 27and
he faces up to five years in prison.
Another complaint filedwiththe
Ethics Commission, by Eric Ep-
stein, cofounder of Rock the Capi-
tal, regarded Mellow’s paid posi-
tions on the boards of directors of
both Blue Cross of Northeastern
Pennsylvania and Penseco Finan-
cial Services. There has been no
movement, at least publicly, on
that matter.
Requests were filed on that issue
with the Senate Ethics Commis-
sion, the state Attorney General’s
Office and the state Ethics Com-
mission.
“It is our hope that the state Eth-
ics Commission will restore integ-
rity to this investigation and find
that Mr. Mellow abused his posi-
tionof power for personal gain. Jus-
tice can only be served if Mr. Mel-
low is stripped of his pension,” Ep-
stein said.

WILKES-BARRE – An attorney
for a Wapwallopen woman
charged with trying to sell weap-
ons belonging to her father, who
she said had died, asked a judge
on Wednesday to dismiss charges
against his client.
Lindsey Irene Maczuga, 23, of
South Church Street, faces two
counts of theft by unlawful taking
in the case in which police say she
removed eight guns, a crossbow,
seven knives and ammunition
from a gun safe in her father’s liv-
ing room.
Maczuga’s attorney, Steven
Greenwald, made the request on
Wednesday to have the charges
against his client thrown out.
It was not clear why Maczuga
and Greenwald asked to have the
charges dropped.
Judge Lesa Gelb said she would
make a ruling on the request at a
later date, as Greenwald also
asked that his client be permitted
to participate in the county’s
Treatment Court program.
Treatment Court is a program
for adult residents of Luzerne
County who have been charged
with non-violent crimes related to
a drug or alcohol addiction. If a
participant completes the pro-
gram, charges brought against the
person will be dismissed.
According to court papers, on
Jan. 30, 2011, Andrew Maczuga re-
ported the items missing from his
gun safe.
Police interviewed Lindsey
Maczuga the following day, who
said she had contacted a gun
buyer whose phone number she
had found. She told him her fa-
ther had died and she wanted to
sell his guns.
Maczuga said she later invited
the man to her father’s house,
where he selected seven guns, a
cross bow, ammunition and
knives that he purchased for
$1,350.
Maczuga said she later sold an-
other gun to Nimrod Sporting
Goods in Hanover Township for
$150.
Police said Maczuga told them
she used the money from the
sales to buy heroin.

Dallas Twp. discusses
emergency contacts
DALLAS TWP. – The board of
supervisors received updates
from several township depart-
ments at a work session on
Tuesday, including how resi-
dents can receive instant con-
tact during emergency situa-
tions.
Alan Pugh, township emer-
gency management coordinator,
spoke along with Scott Dettling,
owner of Inspiron Logistics in
Akron, Ohio, via speakerphone
about the Wireless Emergency
Notification System (WENS).
WENS is a software program
the township can use to send
alerts to residents in case of
emergency situations, including
automatic updates.
Pugh said several adminis-
trators can provide information
for residents, who would sign
up on through the Dallas Town-
ship website or by visiting the
municipal office. Residents
could register their landlines,
cell phones and addresses,
which would be kept in a data-
base.
Pugh said the system could
even isolate messages to be sent
only to residents within a cer-
tain area where a situation is
occurring.
The software might cost the
township about $650 per
month, depending on how many
landlines were provided in the
system. Pugh said it would cost
more for landlines to be regis-
tered because of the time it
takes for the system to dial the
individual numbers.
Pugh also provided residents
with an update of the fire at the
Lathrop Compressor Station
located in Springville Township
in Susquehanna County last
week. The natural gas compres-
sor station connects to the
Springville Gathering Line,
which ends in Dallas Township.
Pugh said the township was
notified at 2:24 p.m. last Thurs-
day about the incident, and
Pugh proceeded to notify other
agencies, including the school
district and county emergency
management agency, about the
fire.
He said he was told gas had
stopped flowing through to the
Transco interstate pipeline
shortly after the fire developed,
but began flowing again in limit-
ed amounts by Friday. He said
he would be notified once the
pipeline gas flow returns to
normal.
The board also heard from the
township zoning officer, police
chief, roadmaster and engineer
during the work session.
The board of supervisors
approved an inter-municipal
liquor license transfer to Irem
Country Club after a public
hearing on the matter on Tues-
day evening.
Supervisors Bill Grant and
Frank Wagner voted in favor of
the transfer, while Liz Martin
voted against the measure.
Acacia Services LLC sought a
restaurant liquor license trans-
fer from Amore Café in King-
ston to Irem Temple Country
Club.
Attorney Michael Yelen, rep-
resenting Irem Country Club,
argued the transfer would ruin
the private club atmosphere of
the country club, as the previ-
ous liquor license allowed ser-
vice to club members only.
But attorney Richard Bishop,
who represented Acacia Ser-
vices LLC, said the restaurant
was seeking the license because
Irem had terminated a manage-
ment agreement and the current
liquor license would not allow
service to Masons’ wives and
widows.
Grant, who cast the tie-break-
er, said he couldn’t see how the
measure would affect the wel-
fare, peace, morals and health of
the township’s 9,500 residents.

Ross Twp. asked
to target speeders
ROSS TWP. – Resident Bob
DeRemer asked the supervisors
on Tuesday night to do some-
thing about excessive speeding
on the stretch of Main Road
between Lamoreaux Road and
Moyers Road.
The supervisors agreed when
DeRemer said speeders make
getting out onto that part of the
road difficult.
“By the time you’re halfway
out on the road, (the drivers)
are on top of you blowing their
horns,” he said. “You know they
must be really zipping.”
The supervisors agreed to
make a formal request to state
police to monitor the stretch
more closely.
The supervisors adopted an
agreement with the Back Moun-
tain Firemen’s Association to
protect mutual funds by prohib-
iting any firefighter receiving
workers’ compensation from
responding to emergency calls.
“It’s a state law,” said Super-
visor Stanford Davis. “You
shouldn’t be out covering a fire
if you’re on workmen’s comp.”
Jon O’Connell
Bear Creek Twp. OKs
speed bump request
BEAR CREEK TWP. -- The
sewage project in the township
is at a standstill, but plans are
going ahead to improve safety
on Golf Course Road and to
upgrade the baseball fields after
the township supervisors met
Monday.
Supervisors concerned about
the burden to taxpayers voted
down the sewage project two
months ago, and the township
has been in conversation with
the state Department of Envi-
ronmental Protection about
scheduling a meeting to deter-
mine the next steps, Chairman
Gary Zingaretti said.
Until that meeting, nothing
else is being done with the pro-
ject, he said.
The supervisors did vote to
move forward with plans to add
speed bumps to Golf Course
Road.
The supervisors voted to
approve installation of speed
bumps that can be removed in
the off season to allow for safer
snow plowing, pending final
review of the matter by the
solicitor.

Shickshinny officials
endorse recovery plan
SHICKSHINNY – Council
Tuesday night voted 5-0 vote to
endorse the long-term recovery
plan presented to council in
March by a steering committee
of business and professional
people.
Council also enacted a resolu-
tion to provide municipal sup-
port for the Shickshinny For-
ward partnership, whose mem-
bers were also instrumental in
preparing the plan.
Included in the plan is a series
of proposals for housing renew-
al, park and recreational facil-
ities, economic revitalization,
developing advertising/market-
ing procedures and constructing
a multi-tenant building for busi-
ness, office and residential activ-
ities.
Meanwhile, construction bids
for Crary Park have come in
over budget. A boat dock, boat
launch and recreational equip-
ment have been proposed for
the park, but bids thus far have
exceeded grant funds ear-
marked for the park.
Mayor Beverly Moore argued
the fault lies predominantly
with the Quad3 Group “who
approached only large compa-
nies, instead of contacting
smaller, local companies who
are looking for work, in order to
get a better price.”
Borough Secretary-Treasurer
Melissa Weber proposed she
and Moore meet to review the
merits of the bids.
The ramification of flood
recovery also came into play
when Wes Beers of Seidel Plan-
ning and Design, Pottstown,
asked council to abandon two
parking spaces on West Union
Street to provide an exit for an
automated teller machine kiosk
that Wells Fargo Bank plans to
construct on the site of the bank
building it demolished at Main
and Union streets.
Beers, who serves as a con-
sultant for Wells Fargo, pro-
posed a deal in which the bank
would pay up to $1,000 for legal
and advertising fees to meet the
bank’s request.
In addition, Beers said, the
bank would allow public access
to 35 parking spaces it has allo-
cated for the project.
Council referred the matter to
Solicitor Jeff Malak, who will
draft appropriate legal language.
Council also agreed to sched-
ule work sessions on the last
Thursday of each month at 6
p.m., beginning in April, if there
is sufficient time to publish a
legal advertisement announcing
the change.
It split on a proposal by Coun-
cilman Barry Noss to lift a ban
on open burning. Council Presi-
dent Rosalie Whitebread, mem-
bers Jim Wido and Noss voted
in favor of a motion to curtail
the ban. Mike Steeber cast the
only no vote; Gary Morris ab-
stained.
It was stipulated that restric-
tions on the burning of house-
hold rubbish, plastics and rub-
ber remain in effect.
The action was also condi-
tioned upon prevailing restric-
tions imposed by the state De-
partment of Environmental
Protection.
Moore, in her report, remind-
ed council and borough resi-
dents that a 5K run has been
scheduled on Saturday at the
park on Canal Street. Regis-
tration is at 9 a.m. The start is
10:15 a.m.
Tom Huntington
Jackson Twp. provides
updates on issues
JACKSON TWP. – The board
provided updates on several
ongoing issues within the town-
ship at a meeting Monday.
Solicitor Jeff Malak told su-
pervisors the township has
received partial payment from
Larksville Borough concerning
services rendered to Steele
Road.
For 39 years, the township
maintained the entire road and
was paid $400 annually by
Larksville for work performed to
the section located within the
borough.
Larksville has not made a
payment since 2005.
Malak said the township has
received a partial payment for
this year’s maintenance and is
setting up a payment schedule
for the backlogged funds.
In other business, a $340,000,
four-year loan was approved for
the Bulford Road sewer project.
The project cost is being
shared with 19 residents on
Bulford Road.
At previous meetings, Chair-
man John Wilkes Jr. said the
sewers had “major failures,” and
the cost-splitting tactic helped
residents save more money than
what they would have to pay on
their own.
Some residents have opposed
to the project, but Fox has said
that most understand the need
for it and have been compliant.
The board also approved
sending a letter of interest to
other Back Mountain municipal-
ities about possibly purchasing
police services through an in-
tergovernmental cooperative
agreement.
The board also voted to share
the purchase of emergency radio
equipment for the Back Moun-
tain Regional Emergency Man-
agement Agency with Lehman
Township, to be reimbursed by
a gaming grant.
Lehman Township was re-
cently awarded $975,000 in
local share account funds on
behalf of the Back Mountain
Community Partnership to
construct a regional emergency
management facility on Route
118.
Sarah Hite
Fairview Twp. get
update on development
FAIRVIEW TWP. -- Township
supervisors on Monday night
heard about residents’ concerns
about some changes that a pro-
posed 28-home development
will bring.
Developer Joseph Thomas is
planning to build homes along
proposed extensions of two
rights of way. Township Engi-
neer David Yefko said state law
requires that Thomas improve
any roadways that might be
used to access the homes.
Surveyors’ maps on display at
the meeting showed Thomas’
proposal to re-designate Wood-
crest Avenue as a one way re-
quiring no additional construc-
tion, and to widen Lee Avenue
to 24 feet. Currently, the two
roadways are connected by
Woodland Avenue and dump
out onto South Main Street as it
feeds into state Route 309.
Woodcrest residents would
have to travel to Woodland and
left onto Lee Avenue to get out
of the loop as the one way
would go in toward Woodlawn.
Residents said they were
concerned about fire and med-
ical teams, police and school
buses navigating through the
neighborhood, especially in
snow.
Marhold told residents all of
their concerns would be taken
into strong consideration as the
supervisors made their final
decision.
Yefko said that, in addition to
constructing suitable roads for
increased traffic, the developer
is required to return the roads at
least back to their condition
prior to construction based on
photographic evidence.
Thomas could not provide a
date for when he would begin
construction.
Because some of the proposed
homes are near protected wet-
lands, his plans first have to be
approved by the state Depart-
ment of Environmental Protec-
tion, then the supervisors.
Jon O’Connell
Exeter to reimburse 3
towns for grinder
EXETER – Borough council
voted on Tuesday night to reim-
burse Jackson Township
$133,000, Kingston $133,000
and West Wyoming borough for
the purchase of a Mobark Grind-
er from funding received from
an Environmental Protection
Agency grant.
The grinder created mulch
from felled trees.
Councilman Thomas Shannon
said the state’s Department of
Environmental Protection was
on the scene of an oil spill along
Hicks Creek in the borough.
According to Shannon, the
source of the leak is still un-
determined.
In another matter, council
voted to approve the bid process
for a $460,000 sanitary and
storm sewer project along Ma-
son and Grant streets and
agreed to proceed with a paving
project along Susquehanna
Avenue.
Councilman Joseph Esposito
said money for the various pro-
jects is in borough accounts
with surplus funding that is still
in place for future projects or
emergencies.
In other business, council
voted unanimously to authorize
borough Solicitor Ray Hassay to
research the development of a
landlord/tenant ordinance that
will facilitate the upkeep and
maintenance of problem or
“nuisance” properties in the
borough.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — For-
mer South Dakota senator and
Democratic presidential candi-
date George McGovern has
been hospitalized in Florida, his
daughter said Wednesday.
Ann McGovern told The As-
sociated Press her 89-year-old fa-
ther was admitted to Flagler
Hospital in St. Augustine, Fla.,
on Tuesday evening for tests to
figure out why he occasionally
passes out and loses his ability
to speak, she said.
“He’s comfortable. The tests
are continuing to see if they can
determine what’s causing this,”
Ann McGovern said.
Hospital officials said the el-
der McGovern is in stable condi-
tion. McGovern splits his time
between Florida and South Da-
kota, where he was a South Da-
kota congress-
man from 1957
to 1961 and a
U.S. senator
from 1963 to
1981. He has
been hospital-
ized several
times in recent
months, in-
cluding for ex-
haustion.
South Dako-
ta Democratic
Party Chair-
man Ben Nes-
selhuf said
McGovern
looked great and was in good
spirits when he attended the
party’s annual fundraiser, named
in his honor, last weekend in
Sioux Falls. Nesselhuf said the
former senator, who gave a 20-
minute speech at the affair, re-
sists efforts to schedule rest pe-
riods during such events be-
cause “he wants to do every-
thing.”
McGovern lost in a historic
landslide his 1972 challenge
against President Richard Nix-
on, who eventually resigned
amid the Watergate scandal.
Much of McGovern’s recent
work has focused on world hun-
ger.
He and former U.S. Sen. Bob
Dole, a Republican, were honor-
ed in 2008 with the World Food
Prize, a distinction some observ-
ers have called the Nobel Prize
for hunger.

SAN DIEGO — A wildly pop-
ular Internet video turned Afri-
can warlord Joseph Kony into a
householdnameandboostedthe
international hunt for the brutal
rebel leader. Can a sequel do
more?
That’s the burning question
for the small California advocacy
group Invisible Children and its
follow-up effort, “Kony 2012 Part
II.” The Associated Press was
given a copy of the sequel before
its Thursday release.
Part II repeats
some of the same
slick, inspiring shots
as the original of a
young global com-
munity mobilizing
into action. But no-
ticeably missing is
the voice of the orga-
nization’s co-founder,
Jason Russell, who
directed the first vid-
eo. Russell was diag-
nosed with brief psy-
chosis last month af-
ter witnesses saw
him pacing naked on a sidewalk
in a San Diego neighborhood,
screaming incoherently and
banging his fists on the pave-
ment. His outburst happened
shortly after Kony 2012 thrust
the group into the global lime-
light.
The sequel also lacks the kind
of narrative that made the origi-
nal unique. The first Kony 2012
presented the global issue
through a child’s eyes, with a dis-
cussionbetweenRussell, whodi-
rected the video, and his young
son Gavin about stopping the
bad guys.
Thelatest videois atraditional
— albeit hip — documentary
that addresses criticisms fired at
the San Diego-based nonprofit
since its overnight launch to
fame.
Among the complaints were
that Kony 2012 was too Ameri-
can-centric, that the group
spends too little money directly
on the people it intends to help,
and that it oversimplified the 26-
year-old conflict involving Ko-
ny’s Lord’s Resistance Army.
The original video drew some
100 millionhits onYouTube, and
likely will godowninhistory as a
case study on what can go viral,
says pop culture expert Robert
Thompson. But the Internet is
fickle, he said.
“The fact is, the story has de-
veloped in so many odd ways
with all the controversy, and the
sequel can’t really promise the
bang of that first video — which
is informingpeopleof something
they did not know before,” said
Thompson, a Syracuse Universi-
ty professor. “Now we’re getting
into the details, which is never
that thrilling.”
But then again, Thompson
added, what goes viral never
ceases to surprise.
Ben Keesey, Invisible Chil-
dren’s CEO, said the sequel was
made in two weeks. The think-
ing, he said, was
the organization
needed to an-
swer to people
wanting to
know who was
behind last
month’s Inter-
net success that
prompted the
AfricanUnionto
send 5,000 sol-
diers to join the
hunt for Kony,
and a bipartisan
group of 40 U.S.
senators to back
a resolution condemning Kony.
Keesey acknowledged the
challenge in keeping up interest
but said the campaign resonates
with young people who feel like
they’re part of a global communi-
ty with friends across the world
through social media.
Part II features more inter-
views with Africans who talk
about how the rebel conflict is
complex and requires a multi-
pronged approach to stop the
warlord wanted by the Interna-
tional Criminal Court for hei-
nous attacks in multiple coun-
tries. The LRA began its attacks
inUganda inthe1980s, whenKo-
ny sought to overthrow the gov-
ernment. Sincebeingpushedout
of Uganda several years ago, the
militia has terrorized villages in
Congo, theCentral AfricaRepub-
lic and South Sudan.

PPLhas not decidedwhether it
will build a new nuclear reactor
next to its Susquehanna plant in
Salem Township, but the compa-
ny is applying for permits as if it
were.
The power company has asked
permission from the Susquehan-
na River Basin Commission to
withdrawwater fromthe Susque-
hanna during construction of the
new Bell Bend reactor.
PPL submitted an application
to the Nuclear Regulatory Com-
mission for permits to build and
operate the single-reactor plant
in 2008, and the company does
not expect a decision from the
NRC until 2013 or 2014, PPL
spokesman Joe Scopelliti said.
“This is just part of a process
going forward,” Scopelliti said.
“We’re working through that
process to where we have to
make a final decision of whether
were going to build. At the end of
that process we’ll have an appli-
cation approval and we’ll have to
look at the conditions at that
time. At this point a decision on
whether to build or not is prob-
ably a couple of years down the
timeline.”
PPL hopes to build
the plant to supply fu-
ture energy demand cre-
ated in part by older re-
actors and power plants
being taken offline. The
electricity it generates
would feed into the PJM
Interconnect and be
available for open-mar-
ket purchase in Pennsyl-
vania, NewJersey and Maryland.
“We’ve got to look to the future
because if you’ve got a need for
the electricity it takes a couple
years for the electricity to be
ready to use,” Scopelliti said.
“We’ve constantly got to be look-
ing to the future and what de-
mand in the area may be.”
The plant would be built next
to the existing two reactors at the
Susquehanna SteamElectric Sta-
tion in Salem Township on the
west side of Confers Lane. Its ca-
pacity would be about 1,600
megawatts, bringingthe three-re-
actor total to about 4,000 mega-
watts, or enough to power more
than 3 million
homes.
It would be pow-
ered by the Evolu-
tionary Power Re-
actor, a newformof
reactor designed by
AREVA of France
that its designer
touts as being safer
and more efficient
than older reactor
types.
Similar reactors are under con-
struction in Finland, France and
China, but it has not yet been ap-
proved for construction in the
United States. The reactor de-
sign is going through an NRC ap-
plication process on the same
timetable as PPL’s application,
Scopelliti said.
The new plant would cost be-
tween $13 billion and $15 billion
to build with construction taking
at least five years, according to
PPL, making it unlikely the plant
would come online before 2020.
But whether the plant is actual-
ly built depends on a large num-
ber of variables, Scopelliti said,
with the availability of a federal
Department of Energy loan guar-
antee being a primary determin-
ing factor.
Bell Bend has not been select-
ed by the department to nego-
tiate a federally backed loan, nec-
essaryduetotheimmensecost of
the project, since PPL completed
its application in 2009, but the
company continues to resubmit
its application in each biannual
grant cycle, Scopelliti said.
PPL will also not go forward
without private-sector partners,
and those partnerships have not
been secured yet either, he add-
ed.
According to Scopelliti, other
factors that will influence the
company’s decision include:
• The price of electricity.
• The price of competitive
fuels.
• Regulatory changes brought
on by the Fukushima Daiichi di-
saster in Japan.
• Potential changes in design
and their associated costs.
• Economic conditions.
Wagiha Taylor, a professor of
international business and eco-
nomics at Wilkes University, said
increasing production by build-
ing the reactor could be a major
advantage for PPL in the long
run; but, in the short term, the
company may face trouble at-
tracting investors because its
high price tag means investors
will need to wait much longer to
see a return.
“With the economy the way it
is now, this is a hard time,” she
said. “I would say in a couple
years from now, when the econo-
my picks up at a much better
speed, and when the election is
over and things settle down in
Europe. But this is not a very sta-
ble time to be making major deci-
sions like this.”

UNION TWP. – On a 6-2 vote,
the Northwest Area School
Board approved a new five-year
contract with support staff per-
sonnel.
Board President Randy Toma-
sacci, who cast one of two no
votes, said that estimates are
the pact will cost $490,000 over
the period July 1, 2012 through
June 2017.
Support personnel consist of
cafeteria workers, classroom
aides and maintenance employ-
ees. They are represented by
the Pennsylvania State Educa-
tion Association. The pact in-
cludes wage increases of 30
cents per hour. They will also
receive health insurance cover-
age, which is an issue that Al-
bert Gordon, board secretary,
raised when he cast the other
no vote.
Gordon said, “I have no prob-
lem with the pay raises. It’s the
cost of health insurance. It’s get-
ting out of hand.” It was stated
that a 10 percent increase in
health insurance costs were fac-
tored into the contract.
Daryl Morgan, who along
with directors Alton Farver, Lisa
Schwartz, Gerald Conger, Ralph
Killian and Michael Kreidler
voted in favor of the contract,
argued the “only way we’re go-
ing to control costs is to get out
of the health care consortium.”
Board member Peter Lanza
was absent.
In its February tabulation of
payables, Northwest listed a
$191,271.73 payment to the
Northeast Pa. School District
Health Trust. Morgan contend-
ed also that consortium officers
are using school district contri-
butions to help pay for a lawsuit
filed by the Pittston Area and
Dallas school districts. Luzerne
County Court ordered the pay-
ment of more than $5 million by
the consortium to Dallas and
Pittston
“We’re paying for that. We
need to get out of there and into
the free market,” Morgan said.
Tomasacci said participation
in the consortium is something
that’s stipulated in the current
contract with the Northwest Ar-
ea Education Association. He
doubted Northwest could effect
a change at this time.
The board, however, is in ne-
gotiations with the NAEA in-
volving a pact that expired in
August 2011. The NAEA has
been working this term without
a contract.
Gordon said talks with the
teachers are ongoing. Tomasac-
ci said the board is waiting to
hear from the PSEA about
scheduling another negotiation
session. Talks have been broken
off for more than a month.
The board also heard a report
dealing with students with spe-
cial needs by Stephanie Russell,
director of Special Education,
and Superintendent Ronald
Grevera. They propose bringing
these students back into the
school district rather than have
them receive instruction at
schools throughout Luzerne
County under programs admin-
istered by the Luzerne Interme-
diate Unit.
Grevera said he will seek
board approval for the plan at
the April 18 meeting. Russell
said Northwest has 213 students
in both the elementary and sec-
ondary level with specials
needs. She said the plan pro-
vides the skill support needed
by these students.
Another key element is costs.
Grevera estimated the district,
factoring in transportation and
instructional expenses, will save
an estimated $118,370.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
NANTICOKE – Mayor Joseph
Dougherty selected three indi-
viduals to serve on the city’s Gen-
eral Municipal Authority at a city
council meeting on Wednesday
night.
Appointedtofive-year terms to
the authority were Jeff Lewis, Ri-
chardWiatrowski andStephenE.
Duda.
Duda and Wiatrowski both
serve on council, but city Solic-
itor Bill Finnegan said current
state laws allow the men to hold
both positions.
The municipal authority is the
business development armof the
city and was instrumental in Lu-
zerne County Community Col-
lege’s recent move to Nanticoke’s
downtown area.
In other business, council ap-
proved a parking permit order on
second reading that calls for per-
mitted parking along Coal, Or-
chard and Hill streets in the city.
Violators will face up to a $50 fine
for all parking infractions.
The ordinance was enacted in
response to residents’ concerns
with spillover from LCCC’s
downtown student parking lots.
An ordinance banning the use
of cell phones while driving was
tabled until Finnegan researches
any possible conflict with exist-
ing laws.
Nanticoke mayor fills 3 authority posts
The city council OKs a permit
parking system for three
downtown streets.

example.
The letters to the editor he wrote always
were well-researched and made an impact
on our community. I looked forward to
seeing his letters in the paper. Paul really
had great respect for the Republican Party
and the principles for which it stands.
I invited Paul to the Rotary Club where
he distinguished himself with his knowl-

‘Pink slime’ has no place
on Americans’ tables
T
he fuss over “pink slime” tells us clear-
ly that our pure food and drug laws
badly need to be strengthened.
What is “pink slime”? In corporate dou-
blespeak, it is called “lean beef trim-
mings.” It is a mixture of tendons, cartil-
age and waste scraps of meat, basically
slaughterhouse waste, that is finely
ground, heated, spun to remove residual
fat and treated with ammonia gas. Yum!
The European Union has banned this
vile additive in food intended for human
consumption. How much longer must our
children, who receive ground beef that is
adulterated with this filth in the school
lunch program, be sacrificed on the altar of
corporate greed? Indeed, how much longer
must all of us have to worry about our food
being dosed with questionable additives in
the interest of maximizing corporate prof-
its?
The governors of several Midwestern
states, where this additive is manufac-
tured, have come out in defense of “pink
slime” and the companies that make it.
Can we see them eat this product? I
wouldn’t feed it to my cats. And I will not
buy ground beef unless I can see a local
butcher actually grinding the meat; nor
will I eat fast-food hamburgers or any
ground beef products in restaurants.
The “ammonium hydroxide gas” in the
press releases is actually anhydrous ammo-
nia, which forms “ammonium hydroxide”
when it dissolves in the moisture in the
“beef trimmings.” The term “ammonium
hydroxide” correctly refers to a solution of
ammonia gas in water, like that sold in the
cleaning products aisle of supermarkets.
It’s fine for cleaning floors and windows.
But it doesn’t belong in food.

Cyclist suggests officers
review rules of the road
I
recently pedaled my road bike south-
bound on South Main Street in Wilkes-
Barre, away from Public Square. Moving
at a good clip as I approached the first
intersection, I claimed my portion of the
lane, signaled left, found a safe gap be-
tween cars and cut a smooth left turn onto
East Northampton Street – all in one rou-
tine, stylish motion. No drivers needed
even to tap their brakes because of my
maneuver.
Before I could reach the movie theater, I
heard the roar of a car speeding right up
on my tail. Startled, I turned back to see a
Wilkes-Barre police officer swerving
around me while yelling out his passenger-
side window: “Stay out of the middle of
the road! Stay on the side of the road!”
Blah, blah, I’ve heard this from countless
misinformed drivers in this area, but to
hear this from a city policeman was in-
teresting, especially after he had handled
himself in such a dangerous and aggressive
manner. Maybe 20 minutes beforehand he
had yelled something inaudible out the
window of his cruiser at me while I was
simply riding “on the side” of the road on
the other side of town.
Anyway, I pulled up next to him at the
signal light at Northampton and South
Washington streets and said that surely he
knew it was my right to be on the road
making a left turn. I got more of the same
hostility.
He sped off before I had a chance to
defend or even introduce myself. Maybe he
was having a bad day.
The Pennsylvania Department of Trans-
portation Bicycle Driver’s Manual, Chapter
3 paragraph 19, states about left turns: “To
prepare a left turn, change lanes until you
reach the left-turn position in traffic. As
you move toward the center of the street,
this is where no cars on your left will go
straight ahead. If the lane carrying left-
turning traffic also carries through traffic,
ride at its left side. If it’s a left-turn-only
lane, ride at its right side. On an ordinary
two-lane street, turn left from just to the
right of the center line.”
This hardly seems feasible from the
shoulder of a busy street. (So wait, cops
are not always right?)
Paragraph 20 continues: “It may seem
dangerous to move to the middle of the
street, but in fact, the middle is the best
position for a left turn.”
A complete transcript of the Bicycle
Driver’s Manual can be found at
www.dot.state.pa.us/Internet/Bureaus/
pdBikePed.nsf/
So there you have it. As an avid cyclist,
with experience as a New York City bike
messenger, I understand the inherent risks
of cycling in traffic. However, I also under-
stand the laws and how to ride safely and
confidently.
In a city as nonbike-friendly as Wilkes-
Barre, typical hostility toward cyclists
hardly surprises me anymore. But the fact
that a police officer seemingly had such
blatant ignorance and disregard for laws he
is supposed to know and enforce is a real
bummer.
I am not expecting every person to gain
complete awareness of the laws of the road
regarding cyclists, but having our police
officers understand them might be a good
place to start. Let’s ride.

Volunteer in the battle
against pancreatic cancer
A
pril is National Volunteer Month. As a
volunteer for several nonprofits in the
area, I thank all volunteers for their
time, effort and selflessness.
I especially commend the volunteers of
the Northeastern Pennsylvania affiliate of
the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
These caring individuals are a part of a
nationwide network of volunteers in al-
most 100 cities, dedicated to raising aware-
ness about pancreatic cancer and provid-
ing patients and their families with real
hope. Because of their support, PanCAN
has been able to raise millions of dollars to
fund private research and to advocate that
the federal government provide more re-
search funding and devote more attention
to this deadly disease.
Anyone who would like to become a
“Volunteer for Progress” in the fight
against pancreatic cancer may contact our

Even if you can spare just 10 minutes a

T’S WORTH TAKING a
chance on Gov. Tom Cor-
bett’s initial attempt to de-
termine whether a private
operator could bring in more
revenue fromthe Pennsylvania
Lottery.
Just like a customer buying a
ticket for the Daily Number
drawing, we won’t know if the
idea is a winner yet. The state
must first learn from private
firms if they think they can get
more profits out of the $3.2 bil-
lion system, and how they’d go
about it.
Pennsylvania would not be
the first state tomove inthis di-
rection. Last year, Illinois
signed a five-year contract for a
private firm to manage its lot-
tery, and others are consider-
ing it.
The lottery is an important
source of revenue for the state,
particularly because of the sig-
nificant dollars from drawings
and scratch-off tickets that pay
for programs for older Pennsyl-
vanians, including popular
property tax/rent rebates and
the PACE discount prescrip-
tion drug program.
The number of Pennsylva-
nians who benefit from lottery
funds is increasing, so the state
needs to ensure that lottery
proceeds also continue to
grow.
Interested firms have until
May1to submit their qualifica-
tions, and once that pool of ap-
plicants is established, they’ll
be asked in the fall to submit
detailed proposals.
The governor is right to ex-
plore the possibility that pri-
vate operators would guaran-
tee more money for the state,
in exchange for payment for its
services, and do so at a lower
cost to taxpayers than the cur-
rent system. If that happens,
everybody wins.

OTHER OPINION: A WINNING IDEA?
Corbett places bet
on better lottery
E
VEN THOUGH A
congressman boasts
that his bill signed in-
to law in January will
assure steps are taken to safe-
guard new shale-gas pipelines
snaking across Pennsylvania,
safety regulators surveyed na-
tionally say they still need con-
vincing.
The state regulators’ fears,
expressed to federal
auditors about the
public-safety threat
from badly built or
shoddily maintained
pipelines, stand as a
continuing concern
for residents living
amid Pennsylvania’s
gas boom.
At issue is whether
thousands of miles of
pipeline stretched across rural
areas will be subject to safety
checks to safeguard against
flaws or lax upkeep, given that
federal lawnowexempts these
lines from safety rules.
After a Philadelphia Inquirer
series last year exposed the
shortcomings in rural pipeline
oversight, U.S. Rep. Bill Shus-
ter, R-Hollidaysburg, ushered
through a bill that will add a
handful of inspectors nation-
wide, provide new scrutiny to
older pipelines and double
safety violation fines to $2 mil-
lion.
But a newreport fromthe re-
search arm of Congress, the
General Accounting Office,
concludes that federal regula-
tors need to step up their game
when it comes to tracking the
network of so-called feeder
pipelines being built to ferry
shale-gas from 3,000 wells.
Under current law, backed
by industry lobbyists, there are
miles of pipeline exempt from
inspection because they run
through less-populated re-
gions.
The industry’s position is
that it makes no
sense to field in-
spectors in areas
that one lobbyist
characterized as
the “far hinter-
land,” inasmuch
as theriskof anex-
plosion is lower
than in urban ar-
eas, and pipeline
companies have
aneconomic incentivetomain-
tain lines in good working or-
der.
That’s going to be of less and
less comfort, though, to state
residents seeing an influx of
shale-gas operations, with the
prospect that up to 25,000
miles of pipeline could be built
in their communities.
There’s at least some pros-
pect of better pipeline over-
sight with the state Public Util-
ity Commission’s plan to hire
its own inspectors for feeder
lines, eventhoughtraininglags
will mean it takes years to get
up to speed. Folks in the “hin-
terland” can only hope it’s
enough to keep them safe.

it would provide a good place to
discuss relevant energy issues.
“In the closing weeks before
the primary, we will continue to
make the case to voters that
Gov. Romney is the best candi-
date to defeat Barack Obama,
and that he is the best choice to
help turn around our economy,
create jobs and get spending un-
der control,” said Amanda Hen-
neberg, Romney campaign spo-
kesperson.
Romney tightened his grip on
the Republican nomination
with three primary victories
Tuesday – in Wisconsin, Mary-
land and Washington, D.C. He
called for his GOP opponents –
Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich
and Ron Paul -- to drop out of
the race. Santorum said he’s out
to win and Pennsylvania could
be a determining factor in the
race.
Romney has 646 of the 1,144
delegates needed to secure the
nomination. Santorum has 272
delegates, Gingrich 135 and
Paul 51.
On Wednesday, Andrews was
busy getting his business ready
to welcome Romney.
“Of course we’re excited,” An-

Romney will visit Mountain
Energy Services’ Deer Park wa-
ter withdrawal site and meet
the company’s owners, Ryan
Andrews and his brother Matt,
tour the site and address local
campaign supporters.
The Andrews brothers said
Romney will help the nation
move toward energy independ-
ence, and in the process, restore
the U.S. economy.
Mountain Energy Services
was founded in 2009 after the
family, owners of Deer Park
Lumber in Tunkhannock, saw a
need to diversify their interests.
The onset of activity in the Mar-
cellus Shale gas region prompt-
ed the Andrews brothers to cre-
ate a startup company to pro-
vide services to the expanding
drilling operations.
The company started with 10
trucks and a handful of employ-
ees. Three years later, Moun-
tain Energy Services operates
more than 150 trucks, with dis-
patch centers in Tunkhannock,
Wyalusing and Wellsboro, and a
newly opened Ohio division
that serves the Utica Shale area.
The Andrews family also
owns the Shadowbrook Inn and
Resort in Tunkhannock, and
employs more than 130 people
there and at Deer Park Lumber.

during a campaign event Tuesday that Democrats could attack the Mormon faith of Mitt Romney.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney will be at Mountain Ener-

He is scheduled to speak to em-
ployees, supporters and the public
at 2:45 p.m. at the company’s
Deer Park water withdrawal site at
the intersection of routes 6 and 92
north.
You can get to the site by traveling

are affected by the cuts.
The U.S. Army will celebrate its
100th anniversary at Tobyhanna this
summer.
Three years ago the depot peaked at
5,900 employees, but its staff fluctuates
depending on workload and contracts.
In 2000, the depot workforce totaled
3,071, its lowest figure in more than
two decades.
It’s likely the depot will reach a major
milestone in the next year: achieving
more than $1 billion in defense-related
work orders.
In 1995, the depot found itself on a
short list of U.S. military installations
identified by an independent review
panel, the Base Realignment and Clo-
sure Commission, charged with decid-
ing which facilities to close.
Residents and leaders throughout
Northeast Pennsylvania rallied around
the depot and staved off closure. Since
then, the depot has absorbed military
contracts from other installations
where work was cut and has expanded
its contract affiliations with other
armed services branches.
The Army is still the predominant
client with close to 80 percent of work
performed for it. But the Air Force,
thanks to the closing of other facilities
that did similar work, now accounts for
15 percent of the work. The Navy and
Marines make up the rest.
There are more than 150 buildings
on the sprawling grounds that occupy a
footprint of 1.9 million square feet off
Route 611 and Interstate 380 in Cool-
baugh Township.

Dotzel’s courtroom.
Madry said he was cited
when Loeb took his picture
while chasing his dog, Eli, on
a trail on property owned by
the Glen Summit Co. on Jan.
23. Madry said he frequently
visits a memorial at the site
where his son, Brian, was
killed in an alcohol-related
crash on Lake Road on July 18.
Brian Madry, 16, was a pas-
senger in a 2004 Kia Optima
driven by Adam Fredmund,
16. Fairview Township police
and Luzerne County detec-
tives said Fredmund had been
drinking before the crash.
Fredmund was found delin-
quent on a homicide by vehi-
cle charge in September and
ordered to live in a Hazleton
area group home with round-
the-clock supervision.
Madry and his wife, Car-
olyn, filed a lawsuit in Lu-
zerne County court against
Fredmund and the Glen Sum-
mit Co., alleging the company
was negligent for failing to
provide “appropriate security
for Fountain Lake” where
Fredmund had been drinking
at a party.
Madry said he feels the tres-
pass citation and harassment
he has received from other
Glen Summit residents is in
retaliation for the lawsuit.
The citation filed by town-
ship officer Phillip Holbrook,
who investigated the crash,
stated Madry “did enter and
remain on Glen Summit prop-
erty to which notice against
trespass was given by posting
no trespass in a manner rea-
sonably likely to come to the
person’s attention.”
The citation was initially fil-
ed with District Judge Ronald
Swank in Wright Township.
Due to a conflict of interest,
the summary trial was moved
to Dotzel.
Madry said he paid a $125
fine that will be held in escrow
for a year before the money is
returned to him.
Loeb and Dean, who never
got out of their car, drove
away without responding to
interview requests from re-
porters.
Attorney John Dean, repre-
senting Glen Summit Co., de-
clined to comment about the
agreement.
“Say a prayer for Brian that
he is resting in peace,” Madry
said. “I have no anger for any-
one.”
Joe Mulligan, a Glen Sum-
mit resident living on Wood-
lawn Road for nearly 45 years,
expressed his displeasure
with the trespass charge being
filed.
“I can’t believe things go on
like this,” said Mulligan, who
attended the hearing to sup-
port Madry and his wife. “If it
was your son, you would put
up a bench and sit there.”
Madry said he can still visit
the portion of the site that is
on public property.
“They said the (memorial)
site can stay, but I’m not al-
lowed to go on Glen Summit
Co. property,” Madry said.

to $100,000. The fund is bank-
rolled by a surcharge paid by all
attorneys in the state.
Federal authorities charged
Lupas, 77, of Plains Township,
with one count of mail fraud last
week in connection with an in-
vestment scheme that allegedly
defrauded dozens of persons out
of millions of dollars.
Attorneys representing some
of the alleged victims allege Lu-
pas convinced them to give him
money to invest in a trust fund
under the promise they would
earn 7 percent tax-free interest.
In reality there was no fund and
he used the money for his per-
sonal use, the attorneys said.
The security fund reimburses
clients for any losses incurred as
a result of the attorney-client re-
lationship. Persons victimized
can file a claim directly with the
fund. Saporito said the Bar As-
sociation will offer its assistance
to help any one who does not
know how or feels uncomfort-
able handling the claim on their
own.
“There are some members of
the public who may not know of
this potential remedy,” Saporito
said. “If the bar can help make it
known and is willing to assist, at
no charge, maybe people will
take advantage of it.”
Saporito said the Bar Associ-
ation is still in the preliminary
phases of forming the commit-
tee. He said the volunteer attor-
neys will assist in filing the
claim form, but will not get in-
volved in any civil or criminal
actions pending against Lupas.
Saporito said he hopes to have
the committee formed within
the next 45 days.
“There is some homework
that needs to be done from our
perspective to make sure it’s
done the right way and that we
have the ability to be involved,”
he said. “We don’t want to com-
promise the integrity of any
pending criminal investigation
or any civil action.”
The security fund is overseen
by a board of six attorneys and
two lay persons who review
claims to determine if they qual-
ify and the amount of reimburse-
ment. The fund paid a total of
$2.1 million in claims in fiscal
year 2009-10.
In another development
Wednesday, a Kingston couple
filed court papers alleging attor-
ney Lupas owes then $47,250.
A confession of judgment was
filed against Lupas by Philip and
Rosa Bellia, by their attorney
Caelie McCormick Sweigart.
The Bellias said in court papers
they are owed the money, which
includes $2,250 in interest dat-
ing back to June 2011, stemming
from a “customer credit transac-
tion.”
Lupas wrote a check to the
Bellias in June 2011, but that
check was unable to be cashed,
court papers indicate.

with bone-in hams slightly cheaper.
With sales offered this week to attract
Easter shoppers, it was possible to get
a bone-in ham for as little as $1.28 per
pound.
Paula Vejvoda of Omaha said she’s
had her Easter ham in the freezer
since Christmas, when she bought it
on sale so she could economically feed
her two daughters, two exchange stu-
dents and husband.
“You really have to watch the ads
and see who has the best price,” Vej-
voda said.
That’s good advice for families, but
hard to do when you’re trying to pro-
vide ham for hundreds of people at a
food pantry.
Joyce Lonergan, food pantry director
at St. Anthony’s Shrine in downtown
Boston, said she tries to arrange to
have a special meal at each holiday to
help boost people’s spirits, but the
prospect seemed daunting when the
pantry began shopping for hams back
in January. They were selling for $2.30
per pound, not the 99 cents per pound
paid last year.
With added donations and some
breaks from suppliers, St. Anthony’s
was able to secure ham steaks and
chickens for the holiday meal.
“We’ve made it work only because
people have been so generous,” Lone-
rgan said.
Livestock economist Shane Ellis said
the price of ham isn’t likely to drop
soon because pork producers’ costs
aren’t decreasing. Feed, which is main-
ly corn, is running about $6 a bushel
— not far from the record $7.99 per
bushel set last June.
Pork producers also are switching
from gestation crates to more open
pens amid public pressure from con-
sumers and animal welfare advocates
who believe the smaller cages are cru-
el. One major producer, Smithfield
Foods, recently said it expects to
spend nearly $300 million by 2017 to
convert its barns.
The switch also requires more labor
to manage the sows because they tend
to fight. Some of those costs are likely
to be passed on to consumers.
While ham is a traditional element
of many Easter meals, Ellis said prices
typically peak in June, near the height
of the grilling season when demand is
highest. The low point is usually at the
end of the calendar year because that’s
when large numbers of hogs reach the
market.
Many organizations, like the Food
Bank for the Heartland, don’t even at-
tempt to deliver a special holiday meal
to the people they help because their
goal is to offer the most nutritious
food at the lowest possible price.
Donations from business and indi-
viduals have been down over the past
two years, making it harder to keep up
with the need in the 93 counties in
eastern Nebraska and western Iowa
that the food bank serves, spokesman
Brian Barks said.
Most food pantries, shelters and oth-
er programs receiving food from the
Omaha food bank this Easter will re-
ceive staples like pasta, peanut butter
or canned chicken. The food bank re-
cently received 4,200 3-pound hams
from the USDA, but Barks said those
were gone within a couple of weeks.
“Meat has almost become a luxury
item at the food bank,” he said.

typically peak in June, near the height

His main opponent has gotten a
head start in his former home state,
but Rick Santorum intends to cam-
paign hard in Pennsylvania in the two
weeks until the state’s primary elec-
tion.
“We don’t have any specific dates of
whenwe will be inNortheasternPenn-
sylvania, but I’m sure Sen. Santorum
will be there at least a couple of times
before the primary,” said Hogan Ri-
dley, campaign spokesman.
Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney, the odds-
on favorite to win
the Republican nom-
ination for presi-
dent, was traveling
through Pennsylva-
nia today, stopping
in Harrisburg and
Tunkhannock.
On Wednesday, Ridley took the op-
portunity to restate Santorum’s criti-
cisms of his rival.
“It’s good to see Gov. Romney is
coming to Pennsylvania, but I don’t
know how his record of supporting
global warming, cap and tax legisla-
tion and green energy platforms that
he supported in Massachusetts will
play there,” Ridley said. “Don’t forget,
Obamacare was based on Romney-
care. And Romney’s record on energy
doesn’t even come close to matching
his rhetoric.”
Some political analysts feel that a
loss in Pennsylvania could end Santo-
rum’s chance to get the GOP nod. Ac-
cording to a story in the Los Angeles
Times, “losing his home state would
likely force Santorum to abandon an
increasingly uphill attempt to carry
the conflict all the way to the national
convention in August.”
Santorum told the LA Times, “I’ve
endured about eight months of people
saying that. Everyone has been asking
from the days I was driving around (a
pickup) truck in Iowa to get out of the
race. I’ve never been the establish-
ment candidate and that holds true ‘til
today and that’s nothing new.”
Santorum has acknowledged that a
victory in the state he represented in
the U.S. Senate is critical to his quest
to win the nomination.
The Pennsylvania primaries will be
held April 24.
A Quinnipiac University survey
completed Sunday showed Santorum
with a 6 percentage point lead over
Romney in Pennsylvania.
Santorum’s oldest daughter, Eliza-
beth, was in Wilkes-Barre on Saturday
to speak to the Luzerne County Coun-
cil of Republican Women.
Calling the GOP presidential race a
“David vs. Goliath” contest, she said
her father has brought the party back
to its core values – something she says
was desperately needed.
“And now he has re-engaged and
shifted the national debate to funda-
mental values, andthat’s wheretheRe-
publican Party needs to be,” she said.
Santorum plans to campaign hard in Pa.
Unlike rival, former senator has
no specific dates for appearances
in NEPA, his spokesman says.

O
ver the course of his splendid
12-year major league career,
Juan Pierre has seen a drastic
change in way big league baseball is
played.
And it has left the future in the game
looking bleak for guys like him.
Pierre is a punch-and-judy hitter, a
player who will slap singles all over the
ballpark, then turn them into two-
baggers – and scoring opportunities for
his team – with his uncanny ability to
steal bases and manufacture runs.
In another era, he would be a cov-
eted commodity.
In this current home run era, he’s an
afterthought.
“Nobody wants to see anybody steal
a base anymore, or see a 2-1 ballgame,”
Pierre complained. “Everybody wants
home runs.”
He’s right.
Fans don’t come out to watch little
guys work their way around the base-
paths anymore, and teams certainly
don’t pay big money for that type of
production.
They get giddy over the big boppers.
It’s why 286 career home runs got
Phillies cleanup man Ryan Howard a
$125 million contract. It’s why Jayson
Werth wound up getting a $126 million
contract with the Washington Nation-
als after hitting 77 homers in three
seasons with the Phillies.
And it’s why Pierre, with 545 career
stolen bases and 980 runs scored,
wound up begging for a job with the
Phillies.
“When I talked to Ruben (Phillies
general manager Amaro),” Pierre said,
“I just asked for an opportunity.”
Pierre, who’s made a modest $54
million over 12 seasons, has made a
career out of creating scoring chances.
He is a lifetime .297 hitter with a
.307 career playoff batting average,
including three World Series runs. He’s
never stolen less than 27 bases in a
season, and scored at least 90 runs in
six of his 12 seasons in the majors. In
two of those years, Pierre crossed the
plate 100 times. He is a terrific fielder
who carries a .989 lifetime fielding
percentage playing center field and left.
He creates the type of suspense past
base-stealing greats Lou Brock, Maury
Wills, Davey Lopes and Ricky Hen-
derson once did when they changed
games with baseruning.
Yet, Pierre is so under-appreciated,
the thing that changes most for him is
the uniform he wears.
He will open the 2012 season with
the Phillies today playing for his fifth
team and third in five years.
“There’s not much premium put on
guys who can do that stuff,” Pierre
said. “I know in the American League
the last few years it wasn’t any premi-
um. They’re looking for sluggers. I just
know how baseball’s going these days.”
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is
going to consider making Pierre the
leadoff hitter in Philadelphia’s lineup
this season, after the way Pierre turned
heads in spring training.
“He makes things happen,” Manuel
said.
The Phillies sure could have used
someone like that when they were
losing a decisive playoff game 1-0 to St.
Louis last season. The staff of aces the
Phillies still have with Roy Halladay,
Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels won’t trump
anyone without at least a run or two.
And Pierre’s style can help the Phillies
produce them right now, as the season
opens with the big bats of Howard and
Chase Utley on the disabled list.
“My type of game can help teams
win,” Pierre said. “It’s just a matter of
getting a team that thinks that.”
Nobody seems to think players who
scratch out runs are important any-
more. This is a perfect chance for
Pierre to show the Phillies just what
they were missing.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods
couldn’t see the green through the
trees, though that was only a minor ob-
stacle. He choked up on a 5-wood and
played a sweeping draw around the
pines, over the water and onto the back
of the green.
As he approached the Sarazen Bridge
tothe15thgreenWednesday, the grand-
standrumbledwhenfans suddenly rose
in unison to see him walk by. Some of
them held cameras as high as they
could, clicked and hoped for the best.
Woods is worth watching at the Mas-
ters for all the right reasons.
All it tookwas one winat BayHill two
weeks ago for Woods to even remotely
resemble the guy who once dominated
golf. He won by five shots, and, just like
that, was elevated to the favorite at Au-
gusta National.
“Everything is headed in the right di-
rection at the right time,” Woods said.
But he’s not the only star of this Mas-
ters.
Rory McIlroy has all the traits of the
heir apparent —an easy swing that pro-
duces enormous power, a U.S. Open ti-
tleat age22, atennis star for agirlfriend,
and an engaging personality - some-
thing that Woods is not. In his last 12
tournaments, McIlroy finished third or
better eight times, including two wins
and a brief stay at No. 1 in the world.
“I’min a great place,” McIlroy said. “I
feel like my golf game is in great shape.”

The bar had been raised for

Combined, they have missed near-

ous knee injuries have kept defensive
end Pete Massaro and tight end Gar-
ry Gilliam on the sideline for more
plays than they’ve
seen on the field.
Now as both
prepare to return
for Penn State in
2012, they
emerge from
their rehabs hav-
ing to adjust to new coaches and new
schemes.
Getting back into action this
spring has been just as challenging
mentally as physically for these two
Nittany Lions, who have relied on
each other throughout the process.
“You want to lean on roommates,
family and people closest to you –
the people who spend a lot of time
with you,” Massaro said Wednesday.
“And obviously me and Garry have
formed a closer bond for being in
rehab and facing the same challenges
every single day.
“Me and Garry talk every single
day after practice. You ask about how
your knees feel and go from there.
You’re in it together. Since it’s more
of a (long-term) injury than a lot of
others, you’re step-in-step the whole
time. That’s made us closer and it’s
something that helps you push your-
self.”

Wednesday and struck out 11. In
14 scoreless innings, Featherman
has 18 strikeouts and zero walks
to help the Crusaders (3-0) take
an early lead in Division I East of
the Wyoming Valley Conference.
Both Coughlin coach Moe
Rodzinak and Pittston Area
coach Paul Zaffuto talked about
maturity when discussing Feath-
erman’s impact in 2012.
“I expected him to mature as a
senior, but he’s matured this
much early,” Rodzinak said. “I
never expected it this fast. He’s
takenonthe role of a leader. For a
junior, he’s one of the leaders on
the team. I’m really happy with
him.”
Primarily a reliever as a sopho-
more, Featherman got a spot
start against Pittston Area last
April at Hilldale, giving up five
runs on eight hits while taking
the loss.
Zaffuto said he saw a notice-
able difference facing Feather-
man on Wednesday and he made
sure to let him know how im-
pressed he was after the game.
“Last year we were in your
head and you were easily intimi-
dated,” Zaffuto told him. “You
were affected by our cheering
andour nonsense. But you’ve ma-
tured a lot. There were some col-
lege scouts here todayandI’mgo-
ing to talk to themand say I see a
matured guy that really worked
hard.”
“Absolutely,” Featherman said
of the change fromlast season. “I
felt much stronger coming in this
time. Baseball’s a big mind game.
A lot of odds. You can hit the ball
one time and then the next time
up you strike out and look horri-
ble. So definitely it’s just about
working hard.”
This time around, Zaffuto said,
it was his hitters whowere intimi-
dated by Featherman, calling
him“one of the better pitchers in
the area.”
The Crusaders fed off of their
pitcher, who spread out the four
singles he gave up. Three times
he ended an inning with a strike-
out with a runner on and a fourth
time he got a double play tofinish
a frame.
At the plate, Joe Parsnik con-
tinued a hot start of his own for
Coughlin, finishing 3-for-4 with a
pair of doubles and three RBI.
The first double made it 2-0inthe
fifth to give the Crusaders some
breathing room. The second
knocked in two more runs in the
sixth to put the game away.
“Oh, he’s on fire,” Rodzinak
said of his senior shortstop.
“Even when he gets out, he’s on
the ball. His timing is really
there.”
Jordan Sod, Kyle Cunningham
(RBI) and Kyle Lupas (double)
all added two hits apiece for
Coughlin.
Josh Razvillas had two hits of
his own to lead the Patriots (2-1).
Five of the six runs against pitch-
ers Chuck Bressler and Michael
Schwab were unearned.

match in Dallas Township on
Wednesday.
WILKES-BARRE – If any
girls soccer team needed a jolt
of offense, it was Coughlin.
The Lercara sisters provided
it Wednesday.
Freshman Megan Lercara
scored the first two varsity
goals of her career and senior
Marissa Lercara added two
more as the offense finally
awoke in a 4-1 victory over
Holy Redeemer.
The victory was the first of
the season for Coughlin, which
improved to 1-2-1 in Division
1-A. But just as important was
how the win was achieved.
The Crusaders, who played
for the Division 1-A and Dis-
trict 2 titles last season, had
scored just three goals in their
last five games dating back to
last year’s district playoffs.
“We got a little more offense
today, which is good,” Cough-
lin coach Joe Spagnuolo said.
“We got one girl back from the
injury list, so now we’re just
one down which is a big help.
We hope we can build from
this.
Megan Lercara, though, got
Coughlin off to a quick start,
scoring in the seventh minute
off an assist from Bailey No-
vak.
After a couple close misses –
Katie Kennedy had a shot bang
off the crossbar and Novak had
hers picked off the goal line by
Redeemer defender Kirby
Smith – Megan Lercara scored
again. She scored from just
inside the 18 with a one touch
off a pass from Summer Lenti-
ni.
Marissa Lercara then made
it 3-0, taking a pass from about
15 yards out from Nora Fazzi
with about four minutes left
until halftime. The Crusaders
came close again with about
20 seconds left when Ivy Nul-
ton hit the crossbar from about
40 yards out.
Coughlin dictated the pace
throughout, outshooting Re-
deemer (0-3) by a 27-3 margin.
Despite the discrepancy, the
Crusaders are moving cau-
tiously as they head into a
non-conference game with
York Suburban at 7 p.m. today
at Wilkes University.
“We scored goals,” Marissa
Lercara said, “but we can’t let
it get to our heads. We have to
realize we can score the goals,
that they’re not just going to
come to us.”
Marissa Lercara made it 4-0
with an 18-yard liner in the
50th minute. A shutout looked
possible when keeper Amanda
Sax made a diving save on a
penalty kick, but Redeemer’s
Olivia Zurad found the net
with about eight minutes to
play. Megan Phillips had the
assist.

Strasburg, one of baseball’s
faces for the future, starts for
the Washington Nationals
against the Chicago Cubs.
“Opening day — it is an
honor and stuff,” he said.
“But it’s not what I play for.
You want to play for the
games in October.”
For now, that stuff is plenty.
Especially for fans growing
weary of watching their stars
get hurt, wrecking preseason
predictions and fantasy picks.
The DL lineup from spring
training could fill out an All-
Star team: Chipper Jones will
start his farewell tour in the
trainer’s room, along with
Chase Utley, Chris Carpenter,
Carl Crawford, Michael Pine-
da and more.
It was especially rough for
relievers, with Joakim Soria,
Ryan Madson, Andrew Bailey
and Joel Zumaya having se-
vere setbacks. Plus add the
likes of Ryan Howard, John
Lackey and Joba Chamber-
lain, who were already out.
Johan Santana, however, is
ready to start the opener for
the New York Mets today
when they host Atlanta. The
two-time Cy Young winner
was out of the majors last
year while recovering from
shoulder surgery.
“I’m happy to have the op-
portunity to start the season
from Day One with the team.
That’s something I was really
looking forward to,” he said.
Buster Posey and Adam
Wainwright are among the
other big names returning
from major injuries. Andy
Pettitte is coming back, too,
after ending his one-year re-
tirement.
Also on today’s schedule:
Toronto at Cleveland, Phila-
delphia at Pittsburgh and
Miami at Cincinnati.
The rest of the teams open
Friday. That’s when Pujols
makes his debut as his Los
Angeles Angels host Kansas
City. The two-time AL cham-
pion Texas Rangers get a visit
from the Chicago White Sox
and new manager Robin Ven-
tura, while the New York Yan-
kees are at Tampa Bay.
Colorado opens at Houston
on Friday. The next day, Ja-
mie Moyer starts for the
Rockies at age 49 against the
Astros — out of the majors
last season while recovering
fromTommy John surgery, he
could become the oldest
pitcher to win in the majors.
“I’ve accomplished some
things for myself, just know-
ing where I am and going
through a spring training,” he
said this week. “Now it’s all
for keeps, so it’s go out there,
be prepared and that makes it
a little bit easier.”
Rookies to watch include
Tampa Bay lefty Matt Moore,
who made a brilliant start in
the playoffs, and Texas ace Yu
Darvish, the Japanese star
who struck out 11 in a six-in-
ning start in spring training.
Still to be seen, meanwhile,
are whether old pros Johnny
Damon, Vladimir Guerrero,
Hideki Matsui or Roy Oswalt
will play a part this year in
postseason race expanded to
include 10 teams. Stars for so
long, none of them had a job
on opening day.

were the only two players com-
peting for a green jacket, much
like the days of Jack Nicklaus
and Arnold Palmer.
Far from it.
“There probably hasn’t been a
Masters with more legitimate
chances,” Geoff Ogilvy said be-
fore heading out for a final prac-
tice round. “I can understand
people seeing this as a two-man
race, but it’s never been further
from the truth. There are more
horses in this race than ever be-
fore.”
LukeDonaldreturnedtoNo. 1
in the world three weeks ago by
winningat Innisbrook. Heis one
of eight players among the top
20 in the world who have won
this year, a list that includes
Woods and McIlroy, along with
Hunter Mahan (twice), Steve
Stricker, Justin Rose and Phil
Mickelson, a threat at Augusta
even when he’s not playing well.
“Andyou’vegot aguylikeKee-
gan Bradley,” Ogilvy said, refer-
ring to the PGA champion who
won the first major he ever
played. “Nobody ever talked
about a Masters rookie with a
chance. There’s more people in
the conversation, isn’t there?”
One conversation that was
kept short Wednesday was Mas-
ters chairman Billy Payne refus-
ing to discuss the all-male mem-
bership at Augusta National.
The topic returned this year be-
cause IBM appointed Virginia
Rometty its CEO, and the last
four chief executives of Big Blue
were invited to be members.
“All issues of membership are
now and have been historically
subject to the private delibera-
tions of the members, and that
statement remains accurate,
and remains my statement,”
Payne said.
Despite a few more attempts
— including a tense moment
when Payne cut off a series of
questions by saying, “Thank
you” — the focus at Augusta
quickly shifted back to golf.
Still fresh are memories from
last year, wheneight players had
at least a share of the lead in the
final round — McIlroy early,
Woods in the middle, Adam
Scott late — until Charl
Schwartzel finished with four
straight birdies for a two-shot
win.
It couldbeanyonethis year —
not just Woods and McIlroy.
“Rory has never won here,”
Lee Westwood said. “Tiger has
not won here since 2005. So I
think everybody in this room
would have to be naive to think
it was atwo-horserace, wouldn’t
they? There’s more. I think Phil
might have a little bit of some-
thing to say about that. Luke
might. I might.”
Adding to the wide-open feel
is the weather.
An unseasonably warm
spring, which caused the aza-
leas and dogwoods to already
lose their blooms, gave way to
storms that dumped1
1
⁄2 inches of
rain on the course before dawn
Wednesday and toppled a few
trees, including one that
crashed onto a restroom.
Another storm arrived in the
afternoon and cut short the Par
3 Contest, along with making
Augusta National even softer.
Mickelson said to brace for bird-
ies in such soft conditions. His
fear was that players couldfireat
pins, instead of thinking their
way around a course that can re-
quire so much strategy.
The forecast was for occasion-
al storms the opening two
rounds, followedby sunshine on
the weekend. That’s all it takes
to change the dynamics of this
major. The greens are more re-
ceptive, yet a soft course alsobe-
comes a longer course.
Soft conditions might favor
McIlroy. Remember, Congres-
sional also received plenty of
rain at the U.S. Open last sum-
mer when Boy Wonder set the
championship record at 16-un-
der 268.
“He plays without fear, which
is a great way to play,” Mickel-
son said. “When you get soft
conditions like at the U.S. Open,
he’s going to light it up. And I
think that he’s going to continue
his great play. If he ends up
learning this golf course, I think
he’s going to win here a number
of times.”
Then again, that’s what Nick-
laus and Palmer said about
Woods when they first saw him
at Augusta as an amateur and
predictedhe wouldwinas many
green jackets as they had com-
bined —10. Instead, he is stuck
on four Masters.
McIlroy will be playing with
Angel Cabrera the first two
rounds, a replay from last year.
They were in the final group,
when McIlroy shot 80 on the fi-
nal day to go from a four-shot
lead to a 10-shot deficit.
Asked if he felt sorry for McIl-
roy going through such a melt-
down, Cabrera said:
“No, because when I play bad,
nobody feels sorry for me. It was
a shame, but I didn’t feel bad for
him. I knew it was going to be
hardfor him. Whenwegot done,
I toldhim, ‘This is a tournament
you can win many times.’ “
MASTERS
Continued from Page 1B
AUGUSTA, Georgia—Keegan
Bradley doesn’t get all the fuss
about being a Masters rookie.
Afterall, hehasaperfect record
in the majors.
“So I don’t think it’s that hard,
to be honest,” said Bradley, who
became only the thirdplayer inat
least 100 years to win a major
championship on his first try, do-
ing it at last year’s PGA Cham-
pionship.
Bradley was, of course, joking.
Augusta National is a beast for
anyone to tame, let alone some-
one taking his first crack at it.
Only three rookies have won
thetournament, thoughGeneSa-
razen was a rookie in name only
considering he was already a six-
time major champion when he
won here in 1935. No first-time
player has won since Fuzzy Zoell-
er in 1979, though runner-up Ja-
son Day came close last year, fin-
ishing two strokes behind Charl
Schwartzel.
But if any first-timer is going to
make a historic run at the Mas-
ters, Bradley might have the best
shot.
He’s one of the longest hitters
on tour, ranking 15th in driving
distance, andthat lengthwill be a
bigfactor. AugustaNational plays
every inch of its 7,435 yards and
then some, and it’s nearly impos-
sible to contend here, let alone
win, without being able to boom
it up off the tee. He ranks only
98th in fairways hit, but with Au-
gusta’s light to nonexistent
rough, that
won’t be as
much of a fac-
tor as it is at
other tourna-
ments.
And while
his belly putter
maynot beaes-
thetically pleasing, it works for
him. He’sinthetop25ingreensin
regulation, and is fourth in scor-
ing average.
He’s also arrives at the Masters
ona roll, finishing inthe top25 in
all nine of his starts this year, in-
cluding a tie for fourth last week-
end in Houston.
“This course does fit me very
well,” Bradley said Wednesday, a
day before the Masters begins.
“I’mgoingtogiveupalot of expe-
rience to most players, but any-
onewhoplayswell canwinonany
given week.”
He should know.
The 25-year-old son of a PGA
professional in Vermont and ne-
phewof LPGAgreat Pat Bradley,
Bradley had made all of 23 starts
on the PGA Tour when he came
frombehindtowintheWanamak-
er Trophyina playoff last August.
Trailing by five shots with three
holes left in regulation, he made
threebirdiesoverhislastsixholes
to beat Jason Dufner by a stroke.
“Sometimes, when you don’t
realize that if you miss this pin
twofeet totheleft, you’regoingto
make bogey, youcangoright at it
andhit a great shot. I think some-
times it helps to your advantage,”
Bradley said.

Many of the announced crowd

MIAMI — The sellout crowd
in the Miami Marlins’ new ball-
park cheered the introduction of
their starters, who were accom-
panied by women dressed as La-
tin showgirls. There was another
roar for Muhammad Ali, who de-
livered the first pitch.
Then Kyle Lohse and the
World Series champion St. Louis
Cardinals went to work, and the
place grew quiet.
Lohse held Miami hitless until
the seventh inning and pitched
into the eighth to help the Cardi-
nals win the first game in Marlins
Park, 4-1 Wednesday night.
The Marlins’ new animated
home-run sculpture never
budged. It was the fourth inning
before they even managed a base-
runner, and by the time they
scored in the eighth, they trailed
4-0.
The crowd of 36,601 included
newly retired Cardinals manager
Tony La Russa, who quietly root-
ed for his former team from the
press box.
He watched Lohse retire the
first 10batters before hittingEmi-
lio Bonifacio with a pitch. The
runner was erased when Hanley
Ramirez grounded into a double
play.
Newcomer Jose Reyes singled
for Miami’s first hit to start the
seventh, and Omar Infante
scored the Marlins’ run in the
eighth on John Buck’s double.
Lohse went 7 1-3 innings, allow-
ing only two hits and one run.
The right-hander ledthe Cardi-
nals last year in victories and
ERA but got the call for opening
day only because ace Chris Car-
penter is sidelined with nerve ir-
ritation that has caused weak-
ness in his pitching shoulder.
David Freese, the World Series
MVP, had a two-run single in the
first inning to give Lohse the
cushion he needed. Freese and
Rafael Furcal each had three of
the Cardinals’ 13 hits.
Jason Motte earned the save
with a one-hit ninth to complete
the four-hitter.
Things were so bad for new
manager Ozzie Guillen’s team
that Marlins ace Josh Johnson re-
corded the ballpark’s first strike-
out — but as a hitter.
Johnson allowed 10 hits and
three runs in six innings. The
2010NLERAleader was pitching
for the first time since last May
16, when shoulder inflammation
ended his year.
Ramirez, making the switch to
third base fromshortstop, had an
especially rough night. He drew
scatteredboos whenhe pulledup
rather than dive for a grounder to
his left, andhe failedto throwout
Furcal on a bunt that went for a
hit. Ramirez also struck out with
a runner aboard in the ninth to
finish 0 for 4.
Both teams began the season
with a newlook. The Marlins, an-
ticipating better attendance and
higher revenue in their new
home, acquired three All-Stars in
an offseason spending spree. The
Cardinals, coming off a thrilling
late-season charge to the World
Series title, lost slugger Albert
Pujols to free agency and La Rus-
sa to retirement.
La Russa visited beforehand
with his successor, Mike Mathe-
ny. Also on hand was baseball
Commissioner Bud Selig, who
said his reaction to the ballpark
was, “Wow.”
Among the eye-catching fea-
tures is the colorful home-run
sculpture beyond the center-field
wall, but the Marlins failed to ac-
tivate it, although Giancarlo
Stanton did send two flies to the
warning track.

Shortly after being named the
MVPof the Wyoming Valley Con-
ference Senior All-Star Basket-
ball Game, Meyers’ Eugene Le-
wis said his focus would be solely
on football. In particular, playing
in the Big 33 Game in June and
joining the Penn State program
later that month.
Basketball, though, popped up
again as Lewis was named to the
Pennsylvania Sports Writers All-
State Class 2A second team.
“I always gomy hardest andtry
the best in everything I do,” said
Lewis, who will play wide receiv-
er at Penn State. “I’m just happy
in my senior year to be on the all-
state team.”
It was a unique journey for Le-
wis, who was a Class 4A all-state
selection in football this season.
That was at Wyoming Valley
West, where he started his senior
basketball season. He transferred
to Meyers and had the move al-
lowed after an eligibility hearing
before the District 2 Athletic
Committee.
Lewis joined the Meyers team
in mid December and he contin-
ued his excellent play from his
basketball days at Valley West.
He led Meyers with159 rebounds
and blocked 25 shots. He aver-
aged17.1points in 20 games with
the Mohawks, helping them to
the WVCDivisionIII andDistrict
2 Class 2A championships.
“I was at Valley West for three
and a half years,” Lewis said. “I
have great relationships with a
lot of people there. I’ll always be
grateful andhappy for everything
they’ve done for me.”
Four players and one coach
from the Lackawanna Confer-
ence also received all-state recog-
nition.
Holy Cross junior Josh Kosin
was named to the Class 2A first
team, while Crusaders coach Al
Callejas was selected the Class
2A Coach of the Year. Riverside
senior Jerry Kincel, the school’s
all-time leading scorer, was cho-
sen to the 2A second team.
Scranton senior Malik Draper
was picked to the Class 4A third
team. Abington Heights sopho-
more J.C. Show earned Class 3A
third-team honors.

The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Steamers finished up their first
regular season with a revised
management lineup.
John Bucci stepped down as
general manager and co-head
coach "about two weeks ago," ac-
cording to team owner Joe Run-
co.
Runco said he took over those
duties for the team, which will
open the Premier Basketball
League playoffs tonight at the
Lackawanna College Student
Union against the Central Divi-
sion champion Central Illinois
Drive.
Bucci was with the team
March 15 for the first of three
straight home games, but sat be-
hind the bench instead of being
on the bench as he was earlier in
the season.
Runco said there are no hard
feelings over the change at the
top of the team.
"I would like to thank John for
everything he did for me and the
Steamers," Runco said. "Without
his knowledge, things would not
have gone as well as they did.
"He’s the guru of basketball in
our area."
The Steamers went 10-10 in
their first season, finishing sec-
ond in the Eastern Division be-
hind the defending PBL cham-
pion Rochester RazorSharks.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fin-
ished the regular season Sunday
with a win over Rochester, play-
ing without head coach Dennis
Mishko.
Mishko was in New Orleans at
the Final Four receiving an
award.
Assistant coach Jonathan Ku-
las ran the team in Rochester af-
ter Mishko helped in preparation
throughout the week.
"Jonathan Kulas and Jeff Maj-
dic took the team and did a fab-
ulous job," Runco said.
Ticket prices will remain the
same for the playoffs -- $10 for
adults, $6 for students and chil-
dren 10-and-under are free. Run-
co said concession prices are be-
ing reduced for the playoffs.
The Steamers play a best-of-3
series against the Drive. The
games in Illinois are scheduled
for Saturday and, if necessary,
Monday.
The Steamers would be home
again April 12 if they advance to
the championshipseries. Roches-
ter plays the Sauk Valley Preda-
tors in the other semifinal.

For The Times Leader
reserve fullback Pat Zerbe, both
of whom will be held out of con-
tact drills this spring but should
also be ready for the fall.
For Massaro, he suffered his
second torn ACL during spring
practice in 2011 and missed the
entire season. An ACL tear in the
Blue-White Game back in 2009
also cost him that season.
Gilliam, meanwhile, did signif-
icant damage to his left knee
back in September 2010 in a
game at Iowa. His ACL and MCL
were both torn. His patellar ten-
don and lateral meniscus were al-
so injured and he suffered bone
bruises as well.
“I mean, I really messed up a
lot of my knee,” Gilliam said.
Good news was not forthcom-
ing.
After an initial surgery to re-
pair his MCL in October 2010, a
second was scheduled around
Thanksgiving. But an infection
caused serious complications,
pushing the ACL operation back
to the following May and costing
him his 2011 season as well.
It wasn’t until January 2012
that Gilliam said he felt 100 per-
cent physically, clearing him to
practice for the spring and work
with new coach Bill O’Brien.
“It was king of surreal,” Gil-
liam said of finally stepping back
out onto the field in March, even
if it was just for a practice. “A
bunch of guys sort of joked like,
‘Whoa, we’re not used to seeing
you in a helmet and shoulder
pads.’
“It’s good to get back out there
and play again. It’s been a long
time. I’m very happy and excited
to get back out there and start
learning the offense.”
Massaro estimated that he was
practicing at about “80, 85 per-
cent” this spring and expects to
shed his knee brace and be full-
go for the fall.
Aside from knocking off some
expected rust, both players said
the biggest hurdles so far this
spring have been mental.
“When I’m actually practicing,
I’m not thinking about it and it’s
usually fine,” Gilliam said. “But
in the back of my mind there’s
that question of, ‘Can I make this
cut, can I make this block.’
“A lot of it now is getting that
out of my subconscious, out of
mind and building trust in what
my knee can do.”
Even for someone like Massa-
ro, who has been through this
same situation before, it takes
time to fully adjust.
“There are definitely times
where I feel like my head gets in
the way more than my knee
does,” Massaro said. “Some-
times I’m able to step back and
say, ‘OK, that part was mental
and the other part is a little bit of
rustiness with my knee.’
“I know what I have to go
through. It’s just an adjustment
period. I just keep my nose to the
grindstone and I know every-
thing’s going to turn out all
right.”

Pittston Area’s Mia Hopkins
and Wyoming Valley West’s Tara
Zdancewicz took top honors in
WVC Division I when the coach-
es’ honors were announced.
They both earned statewide
recognition when the Pennsylva-
nia Sportswriters All-State
teams were announced Wednes-
day.
Zdancewicz was chosen for
the second team in Class 4A and
Hopkins also made second team,
but in Class 3A.
Hopkins, a 5-foot-11 junior, led
the Patriots to a 17-7 record and
the District 2 playoffs. She aver-
aged 20.3 points, 14 rebounds,
five assists, four steals and three
blocks en route to the WVC Divi-
sion I Player of the Year award.
Along the way, she scored her
1,000th career point.
“I was really surprised I got it
this year,” Hopkins said of the
all-state nod. “This season was a
great season, but I don’t think we
ended it the way we should have.
We could have gone a lot farther.
“But it opened a lot of doors
for me, especially with the way
everyone stepped up this year,
especially with the two freshmen
(Allie Barber and Liz Waleski) in
the lineup.”
Yet Pittston Area’s season end-
ed with losses to Wyoming Val-
ley West in the league title game
and Scranton Prep in districts,
leaving Hopkins with some goals
for her upcoming senior season.
“As a team we have a goal of
getting a banner,” Hopkins said.
“It was pretty awesome when it
(her 1,000-point banner) had just
come out with only my name up
there. But we lost the league title
this year. We don’t want that to
happen again.”
Zdancewicz, a 5-9 forward, av-
eraged 17.4 points and 12.0 re-
bounds, and made 69.3 percent
of her free throws. She, too,
scored 1,000 points in her career.
The senior was the Division I
MVP this season.
Despite falling one game short
of a state tournament berth, ac-
colades continued to find her.
She was the MVP of the league’s
all-star game last week and re-
ceived a nomination to be a
McDonald’s All-American.
Other District 2 players honor-
ed by the state’s sportswriters
were Montrose’s Dallas Ely, a 5-8
senior who averaged 23.7 points
and earned a spot on the Class
2A first team, and Danielle Ter-
ranella of Mid Valley, a 5-7 senior
who averaged 20.9 points on her
way to a Class 2A second team
spot.

T
AMPA, Fla. – The tables have turned.
Those sure-fire, can’t-miss prospects who have
stood in the batters box for the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees over the past fewseasons have nowstepped
onto the mound.
That’s where most of the hope and hype nowstands at
the highest level of the NewYork Yankees farmsystem.
“It has shifted a little,” said Mark Newman, the senior
vice president of baseball operations for the NewYork
Yankees who runs their farmsystem.
Gone fromScranton/Wilkes-Barre’s batting order are
top prospects Austin Jackson and Jesus Montero.
Jackson, who was tutored through his minor league ca-
reer by Yankees’ Mr. October Reggie Jackson although the

two are not related, spent the 2009 season
at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre destined for
center field in Yankee Stadiumbefore he
was traded away to Detroit instead.
Montero played the last two seasons at
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as the heir appar-
ent to NewYork Yankees catcher Jorge
Posada, but just before Posada retired,
Montero was shipped to Seattle during
the offseason in a deal that brought prom-
ising pitcher Michael Pineda to New
York.
So the real stars for Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre will be on the mound this season.
That’s where the SWB Yankees will
come at their International League oppo-
nents with a 1-2 punch of Killer Bs as they
prepare to spend a whole season playing
on the road while their home of PNC
Field is scheduled to undergo a facelift
this summer.
Highly-regarded righthanded pitcher
Dellin Betances went 4-9 between Dou-
ble-ATrenton and Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre last season. But the 24-year-old
starter didn’t allowa run in five spring
training appearances with the parent
Yankees, and is at the forefront of their
minds right now.
“His stuff is first-rate,” Newman said.
And Manny Banuelos isn’t far away,
either.
The 21-year-old lefty starter was 2-2 for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season after
going 4-5 for Trenton, and appears set to
followBetances in the Triple-Arotation –
if not to NewYork sometime soon. In his
final minor league spring training outing,
Banuelos struck out NewYork Yankees
right fielder Nick Swisher.
“That says something about our (major
league) staff,” Swisher said, “when those
guys can’t even make the team. He (Ba-
nuelos) is one of those young guys, Be-
tances, the same thing.”
“He really looked good,” Newman said
of Banuelos. “He’s so far ahead of sched-
ule, it’s crazy.”
And the rest of Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre’s starting rotation may drive In-
ternational League opponents insane.

Young starters bolster SWB’s roster

They believedthey hadrisen
to the very top of a minor
league farm system of an orga-
nization widely regarded
across baseball as the best.
Yet, the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees are preparing
for the worst.
They’ll play a full minor
league schedule without a
home base, infront of someone
else’s fans, in an array of stadi-
ums they can’t call their own.
They have been damned to a
season on the road.
“Obviously, the thing that
jumps out is you’re going to be
living out of a suitcase for
three-quarters of a season,”
SWB Yankees outfielder Aus-
tin Krum said. “You don’t real-
ly have something to come
home to – your own bed.
“That’s just a challenge.”
All because Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre’s actual home at
PNC Field has been con-
demned.
Not literally, of course.
But the parent Yankees and
their Triple-A partner Manda-
lay have been craving a new
stadium in Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre since they moved their
highest minor league affiliate
there in 2007. And Lackawan-
na County officials have been
groaning lately there’s not
enough cash in the county coff-
ers to cover much-needed re-
pairs to upkeep 23-year-old
PNC Field, formerly known as
Lackawanna County Stadium.
Both sides thought they
found the perfect compromise.
Lackawanna County agreed
to renovate PNC Field this
summer, with plans to remove
the upper deck, build a beauti-
ful concourse encircling the
playingfieldandaddsurround-
ing seats as well as fan amen-
ities.
The start of that project has
been delayed, and at least
someof theproposedmoneyto
complete it is tiedupright now
ina legal battle inthe court sys-
tem.
But the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre Yankees may suffer the
biggest blow.
They’re set to use six differ-
ent sites to host International
League games this season, but
none of themwill truly feel like
home.
“It’s hard,” said New York
Yankees prized lefthanded
pitching prospect Manny Ba-
nuelos, who will open the sea-
son with Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre. “All my teammates and
everybody in camp says it’s go-
ing to be hard.

2012 SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE YANKEES SCHEDULE
spring training battle to join
the parent Yankees’ bullpen as
a long reliever. Phelps will be in
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s start-
ing rotation to open the season.
Mitchell is coming off a 13-9
season for Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre that wound up as the IL’s
second-highest victory total
and earned the 24-year-old
righthander the Kevin Lawn
Award as the Yankee orga-
nization’s minor league pitcher
of the year.
Throwin AdamWarren, who
went 6-8 with a 3.60 ERAand
started 27 games in 2011, the
most of any SWB
pitcher and New-
man looks at
Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre and sees a
minor league ver-
sion of the Phila-
delphia Phillies’
band of aces.
“There aren’t
many minor league
staffs of that quality,” Newman
said. “It’ll be interesting to see
who among thememerges.
That’s a pretty good rotation.”
That’s not to say the bats are
bad in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Late in spring training, the
NewYork Yankees added ma-
jor league veterans Steve
Pearce and Flemington, N.J.
native Jack Cust to Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre’s roster as insur-
ance policies for the big league
club.
Cust has 105 home runs over
his 10-year major league career,
mostly with the Oakland A’s,
with 323 RBI and 96 doubles.
Pearce played185 games
with the Pittsburgh Pirates
over the past five seasons, and
has nine homers, 29 doubles
and 52 RBI on his major league
record.
Neither hits much for aver-
age, but both can play first
base, the outfield or be in-
serted into Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre’s designated hitter spot.
There’s more hitting
throughout the SWB Yankees
lineup.
Hard-hitting Brandon Laird,
the younger brother of St.
Louis Cardinals catcher Gerald
Laird, is back for a second
season at Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre after overcoming a slow
start to hit .260 with16 homers
and 69 RBI in his first full Tri-
ple-Ayear in 2011.
Laird also earned a Rawlings
Minor League Gold Glove
Award as the top defensive
third baseman in the minors,
and recorded his first big
league hits and RBI when the
Yankees promoted himto the
big league for the first time.
“We’re going to have a great
team,” Laird predicted.
Before he heads to Triple-A,
Austin Romine will open the
season on the disabled list,
rehabilitating the back injury
that cost hima shot at compet-
ing for the backup catching job
in NewYork this spring.
Those guys may not have the
wowfactor that Jackson and
Montero possessed while at
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but as
quality players, they’re both
projected for success.
“We’ve had a good run of
those guys through there,”
Newman said. “But Austin
(Romine) and Brandon Laird
are going to be major league
players. I think they’re both
going to have good careers.”
When he’s healthy, Romine
will join Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre and see if he can work his
way back into NewYork’s plans
this season. In the meantime,
the Yankees signed Craig Ta-
tum, who spent the last two
seasons hitting .229 as a back-
up with Baltimore, and as-
signed himto Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre to help with the
catching situation. Young
catcher Ryan Baker is also on
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’s ros-
ter.
In the outfield, Colin Curtis
is trying to get his career back
on track. He missed all of last
season recovering fromsurgery
to repair a dislocated shoulder,
which cut short his bid to make
the parent Yankees as a fifth
outfielder in spring training a
year ago.
Curtis hit .289 for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre in 2010, with 24
doubles and five homers, and
had eight RBI and seven runs
scored playing in 31games for
the parent Yankees that season.
“Trying to get healthy,”
Curtis said.
He’ll be flanked in the out-
field at various times by Cole
Garner, Austin Krum, Ray
Kruml and Dan Brewer.
Garner signed with the Yan-
kees organization as a free
agent after hitting 76 homers
and driving home 346 runs
over seven minor league sea-
sons with the Colorado Rock-
ies organization. He was a .300
hitter for Triple-AColorado
Springs the last two years.
Power-hitting first baseman
Jorge Vazquez , who blasted 32
home runs and drove in 93
runs for Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre last season, was released
late in spring training. The
Yankees figured he wouldn’t be
happy spending another sea-
son in Triple-A– a
pretty good guess
since Vazquez
complained loudly
about being sent
out of big league
camp and to the
minors last week.
The Yankees
signed Pearce and
Cust late in camp
to help fill that void in Triple-A.
Doug Bernier is expected to
join themin the Triple-Ain-
field, at least to start the sea-
son. But he really opened some
eyes in NewYork by hitting
.360 in big league camp, and
could be in line for a big league
call-up if the Yankees need
backup help this year.
Also back for more infield
work will be old Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre stalwarts Kevin
Russo and Ramiro Pena, who
both spent some time with
NewYork during the past cou-
ple of seasons but seemto have
fallen out of favor as potential
versatile backups with the big
club.
Pena hit .273 for the SWB
Yankees last season, while
Russo batted .279.
They’ll try to help Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre return to the
International League playoffs
after the team’s run of five
consecutive IL North Division
titles was snapped last season,
leaving the teamout of the
postseason for the first time
since arriving in Northeastern
Pennsylvania in 2007.
“We want these young play-
ers to continue to develop,”
Newman said. “The wins and
losses usually take care of
themselves. We’ve had really
great success there.”

paint being chipped away. It’s un-
clear at this point when the stadi-
um reconstruction will begin,
whether it canbe finishedintime
for the 2013 International League
season or whether the Yankees
wouldlook for a more permanent
homeelsewherefor next year –as
the league has suggested.
“We sure as heck don’t want to
be on the road again in 2013,”
Newman said.
Doing it once will be difficult
enough.
The SWB Yankees will play 37
of their home games on this sum-
mer’s schedule at Rochester’s
Frontier Field, 10 more at Syra-
cuse’s AllianceBankStadiumand
six at Buffalo’s Coca-Cola Field.
Other Triple-A parks the SWB
Yankees will call home this year
include Lehigh Valley’s Coca-Co-
la Park (for eight games) and
Pawtucket’s McCoy Stadium(for
four games). Batavia’s Dwyer
Stadium – a Single-A ballpark –
will host the SWB Yankees for
seven games.
Can they even be called the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees
anymore?
With 60 of their supposed
“home” games being played in
New York state stadiums, the
team has already been nick-
named the Empire State Yankees
for this season.
TheWanderingNomads might
be a better moniker.
“The other thing is, just the
travel,” Crum said, expressing
the players’ concerns. “We have
six stadiums we’re going to call
home.”
And those are just the out-of-
the-way sites where the Triple-A
Yankees will play when they’re
not on the road.
“Just something we can’t con-
trol, just something we’ve got to
deal with,” Yankees third base
prospect Brandon Laird said. “I
think we’ll be all right. We’re go-
ingtohave a great team. I feel like
we can do it.”
It maybeeasier saidthandone.
Baseball teams traditionally
try to hold serve on long road
trips during a season, hoping to
survive until they can recharge
and relax a little when they get
home.
Only this season, the SWBYan-
kees won’t have evena semi-regu-
lar routine to look forward to. Be-
cause their home will be away
from home.
This isn’t supposed to happen
in affiliated baseball.
The last known Pennsylvania
team to go through something
similar was an independent
league team called the Lehigh
Valley Black Diamonds, who
spent their entire 2001 season
playing an all-road schedule
while waitingfor a home stadium
to be built in Easton.
The team’s financer ran out of
funds, the stadiumwas never fin-
ished and the team eventually
disbanded. But former Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons
star Kim Batiste, who played in
the 1993 World Series with the
Philadelphia Phillies, was a mem-
ber of that infamous Black Dia-
monds club.
He told stories of guys on that
team pitching tents for housing,
being evicted from hotels when
the team owner had trouble find-
ing funds and scrapping for food
when paychecks were late arriv-
ing to players.
The Yankees promise those
horror stories won’t happen with
their Triple-A club this year.
“The Yankees are trying to do
the best we can by our players in
this circumstance,” Newman
said. “We’re going to do the best
we can to make sure our players
are comfortable and can focus on
baseball.”
Some of them say it won’t be
such a big deal.
After all, baseball fields have
the same distances and similar
dimensions no matter where
they are located. And most play-
ers aren’t native to their home-
team minor league cities, and
rarely remain there once they
move on.
“I think it will be all right,”
SWB Yankees outfielder Colin
Curtis said. “Everygame’s kindof
onthe roadanyway. You’re not re-
ally from there.”
But would the parent Yankees
trust sending their big league
players out there, to wherever
their Triple-A club happens to be
playing at a given time?
Last year, New York star third
baseman Alex Rodriguez agreed
to spend a two-game rehabilita-
tion assignment playing for the
SWBYankees at PNCField in Au-
gust. A month earlier, Yankees
captain Derek Jeter insisted on
rehabbing with Double-A Tren-
ton.
If a prime-time player in New
York needs a few minor league
games to get back into playing
shape this season, the Yankees
are going to have to think twice
before sending him on a Triple-A
assignment.
“That’s always goingtodepend
on what options are available,”
Newman said. “Triple-A compe-
tition is a little higher than any-
thing we have in Trenton. The
negatives are, you’re going to
have Scranton (playing) away, so
we’re going to have that road/
home issue to deal with.
“Hopefully, no on will get
hurt.”
As for the guys who have to
spend a season riding baseball’s
version of a carousel, a care-free
attitude about it will be unaccept-
able.
The parent club sees this as an
opportunity for their Triple-A
players to get tough.
“They’re awful close to the
place they want to play,” New-
man said, “and they’re pretty
good at staying focused. We want
these young players to continue
to develop. We want these young
guys to meet this unique chal-
lenge they’re dealing with. It’s a
chance for them to show their
professionalism.”
All aboard. The year-long ride
into unknown is about to begin
for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees.
“All these guys are ready for it,”
Crum said. “At this level, it’s all
mental. We’re really going to
have to lean on each other for
support. That’s the name of the
game when it comes to adversity.
If we can unify, get each other’s
back, we can make it a positive.
“No doubt.”

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
While PNC Field in Moosic is waiting to get remodeled, Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre will play all of its home games at six other sites.
“It’s hard. All my team-
mates and everybody in
camp says it’s going to
be hard. But we have to
do that, we have to take
that.”
Yankees starting pitcher Manny
Banuelos
TAMPA, Fla. – He pinch-hit for
Derek Jeter and played third base
in place of Alex Rodriguez.
But Brandon Laird doesn’t
want to just substitute for New
York Yankees legends.
He someday wants to be one.
“I’mnever satisfied,” said Laird,
who will open his second season
for Triple-A
Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre
today. “I reac-
hed my dream.
I got to New
York.
“My dream
nowis to stay
up there as long
as I can.”
To accomplish that, Laird will
have to become a little more
consistent – frombeginning to
end.
He came to the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees with lofty
laurels, in the midst of a huge
2010 season that earned Laird the
Eastern League’s most valuable
player and rookie of the year
awards. He hit .291with 23 home-
rs, 22 doubles and 90 RBI for
Double-ATrenton during that
season, and it made the parent
Yankees take notice.
They put himon NewYork’s
40-man roster last year and
placed Laird with Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre for most of the
season.
But after batting just .246 in 31
games for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
over the final six weeks of the
2010 season, Laird struggled
mightily in Triple-Aagain at the
start of last year.
He recovered nicely, raising his
batting average by nearly 50
points to finish with a .261batting
average with16 homers and 69
RBI.
But those numbers turned out
to be some of the lowest of Laird’s
five-year minor league career.
“We thought he made adjust-
ments over the course of the
year,” said Mark Newman, the
Yankees senior vice president of
baseball operations who runs
NewYork’s minor league system.
“We wish he would have made
thema little sooner. But he’s a
player.”
Laird showed that by shrug-
ging off his struggles at the plate
to win the Rawlings Minor
League Gold Glove Award as the
top defensive third baseman in
the minors. He was also selected
Baseball America’s best defensive
third baseman in the Internation-
al League after accumulating a
league-best .968 fielding percent-
age.
“We think he can hit. He’s really
improved defensively,” Newman
said, adding that Laird and fellow
Triple-Acatching prospect Austin
Romine “are going to play in the
big leagues. Howsoon depends a
lot on what happens this year.”
Actually, Laird’s more inspired
by what happened last year.
He spent eight games with the
Yankees in July, then was a Sep-
tember call-up by NewYork.
Laird finished with a paltry .190
batting average through the first
11major league games of his life.
But he drewa walk during his
major league debut while pinch-
hitting for Jeter in a Yankees
victory against Oakland. Later in
that July 22 game, Laird singled
home a run for his first hit and
first RBI in the big leagues.
The next day, he was in New
York’s starting lineup at third base
while Rodriguez was rehabil-
itating a gimpy knee.
“It was just something I can
learn from, a huge experience,”
Laird said. “I’maround great
players, players I looked up to
when I was a kid. You watch them
and learn fromthem.”
Getting to
show just
a start
Laird filled in for Jeter and
Rodriguez last year, but has
bigger goals going forward.

It was a tough offseason for local
baseball fans.
We found out last year that the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees would
play the 2012 season on the road –
leaving Northeastern Pennsylvania
without professional baseball for the
first summer in 24 years.
Then, as the pangs of loss struck
the fans who saw spring training tak-
ing full bloom in Florida, the announ-
cement came down that the Yankees
would be rebranded as the Empire
State Yankees. The team would offi-
cially be ours but would do so in dis-
guise, wearing uniforms with “ESY”
on them and playing on foreign soil in
far-away places such as Rochester and
Buffalo.
That’s when a team from William-
sport offered its support to Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania via Twitter:
“@swbyankees unofficially change
their name to the Empire State Yan-
kees. @crosscutters now unofficially
Scranton Wilkes-Barre Crosscutters.
“@crosscutters ready to welcome
any and all fans from the SWB area to
Historic Bowman Field. You can ’un-
officially’ call us any name you want”
The Williamsport Crosscutters, a
Class A affiliate of the Philadelphia
Phillies, are officially courting area
baseball fans. At 84 miles away, the
Crosscutters are among the closest
ball clubs to the region.
“Our tongue was planted firmly in
our cheek when we put that out
there,” said Gabe Sinicropi, Cross-
cutters VP of marketing, said of his
team’s unofficial name.
But there is one thing that stands
out about Williamsport’s offer to be
NEPA’s team – the Crosscutters do fit
the bill. In their sixth season as a
Phillies affiliate, they offer a look at
the future, as baseball’s top prospects
funnel through the NY-Penn League.
They also offer a look at the past, as
their home stadium is the second
oldest minor league park still in oper-
ation.
“It’s the kind of ballpark that takes
you back to yesteryear,” Sinicropi
said. “You’re really close to the field in
our box seats. No matter where you
sit, make sure you bring your glove.”
“Historic” Bowman Field opened in
1926. It once featured seats removed
from what was later called Tiger Sta-
dium in Detroit and the lights that
were removed from the famed Polo
Grounds in New York.
Those have all been replaced in
recent years as the stadium was mod-
ernized. At one point, it was even
expected to be a temporary home for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Bar-
ons as Lackawanna County Stadium
was being built.
Now, it’s being offered as a haven
for fans of baseball in this area, an
alternative to the Binghamton Mets
or trying to get tickets to the oft-filled
park in Allentown.
“We haven’t announced our full
promotional schedule yet, but we
have fireworks every Saturday night,”
Sinicropi said. “We’re going to have
the Cowboy Monkey Rodeo coming
back July 23. We have other appear-
ances and fun stuff throughout the
season, including the Phillie Phanatic
coming here Aug. 1.”
The Crosscutters also do a great job
offering community nights for differ-
ent localities. They haven’t had one in
the past, but is there a chance there
will be a Scranton/Wilkes-Barre night
this season?
“It would be a great idea,” Sinicropi
said. “We haven’t had those discus-
sions yet for our promotional sched-
ule.
“We don’t expect people (from
NEPA) to jump up and buy season
tickets, but we think it’s well worth a
trip for a game or two this summer.”
No word on whether or not the
Crosscutters would wear “SWB” jer-
seys or hats if there was a community
day for our region.
Single-game tickets are $5-$8, and
bonus books (10-12 discounted ticket
vouchers good for any game) range
from $48-$65. For more on the team,

T
AMPA, Fla. – The first
pitch Manny Banuelos
ever threw to Nick
Swisher was laced into
center field for a single.
The next time he faced Swisher,
Banuelos struck him out.
It was only a friendly intras-
quad game in minor league camp
of the New York Yankees, but
Banuelos’ message was clear.
Whether he’s facing big league
outfielders like Swisher or Tri-
ple-A hitters while pitching for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Banuelos
isn’t fooling around.
“My best time was in big
league camp,” Banuelos said.
And the hard-throwing lefthand-
ed pitching prospect didn’t want
his time with the New York Yan-
kees to end.
“It was hard when they sent me
down,” Banuelos said. “It’s diffi-
cult. I’ll get there soon.”
Forgive Banuelos, who just turn-
ed 21 on March 13, for sounding
a little impatient, but after pitch-
ing in three games and striking
out four batters in five spring
training innings with the parent
Yankees, he yearns to be in New
York right now.
“He should,” said Yankees se-
nior vice president of baseball
operations Mark Newman, who
runs New York’s minor league
system.
Instead, the Yankees will send
Banuelos to Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre for more seasoning.
He’ll team with righthander
Dellin Betances, another heavily-
hyped young starter, to give
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre its most
imposing rotation since Phil
Hughes and Ian Kennedy pitched
the Triple-A team to a Governors’
Cup championship in 2008.
But neither has pitched much
above the Double-A level, with
both prospects joining Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre in August of last
year.
Banuelos went 2-2 over seven
starts with the Triple-A Yankees,
and finished with a 4.19 ERA.
His pro career began in 2008,
when Banuelos went 4-1 with a
2.57 ERA for the Gulf Coast
League Yankees as a 17-year-old
kid.
He followed that up with a 9-5
record for Single-A Charleston,
but hasn’t been a big winner at
the higher levels of the organiza-
tion.
His record was just 4-5 at Dou-
ble-A Trenton last season, but
Banuelos was impressive enough
to be named a midseason Dou-
ble-A All-Star. But despite pretty
average numbers at Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre, he struck out 31
batters in 34 1/3 innings and
showed uncanny composure in
making the jump to one level
before the big leagues.
“When they told me to go to
Triple-A, it was good for me,”
Banuelos said. “Hitters are differ-
ent. They have more experience
there. In count situations especial-
ly, they’re more mature.”
But Banuelos is showing matu-
rity beyond his years.
He spent this spring working
on a cut-fastball to go along with
a heater that blazes into the high
90s, giving the guy who has 353
strikeouts over 345 1/3 minor
league innings yet another weap-
on to put guys away with.
Swisher, for one, was im-
pressed.
“Great stuff,” said Swisher,
who’s played behind Banuelos in
spring training games in the past
but had never batted against him
before their duel last week.
“I’ve seen him for three years
now,” Swisher said. “I know what
he’s got, I know what he can do.”
Now, Banuelos will try to show
the Yankees he’s ready to do it in
New York.
“He’s a young guy, he’s 21, he’s
like a college junior,” Newman
said. “He’s so far ahead of sched-
ule, it’s crazy.”
But it might not be so far-
fetched to think Banuelos could
just wind up on the mound at
Yankee Stadium sometime this
year.
“I’ll just go to Triple-A and try
to do a great job there,” Banuelos
said. “And try to get up soon.”
Twenty one-year-old Banuelos could be N.Y. star
JOSEPH BROWN III/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES LEADER
After arriving at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last August, Manny Banuelos went 2-2 with a 4.19 ERA in seven starts and earned a promotion to New York in Septem-
ber.

Manny Banuelos just turned 21 on March 13 and began his career in the orga-
nization with the Gulf Coast Yankees at the age of 17.
“He’s a young guy, he’s 21, he’s like a college junior. He’s so far ahead of
schedule, it’s crazy.”
Mark Newman, Yankees senior vice president of baseball operations, on lefthanded starter Manny Banuelos.

AC casino take shrinks
Atlantic City’s casinos saw their
gross operating profits decline by 7.4
percent last year, to just under $495
million.
New Jersey Division of Gaming
Enforcement figures released Wednes-
day show the 11 casinos operating at
the end of last year posted a gross
operating profit of $494.9 million.
That’s down from $534.6 million in
2010.
It was the latest discouraging news
for Atlantic City, which recently lost its
status as the nation’s No. 2 casino mar-
ket to Pennsylvania.
Service sector expanding
U.S. service companies expanded at
a healthy pace last month and stepped
up hiring, more evidence that the econ-
omy is growing and adding jobs.
The Institute for Supply Manage-
ment said Wednesday that its index of
non-manufacturing activity dropped to
56 in March. That’s down from Febru-
ary’s 57.3, which was a 12-month high.
Any reading above 50 indicates expan-
sion.
Drug spending flattens
Spending on prescription drugs in
the U.S. was nearly flat in 2011 at $320
billion, held down by senior citizens
and others reducing use of medicines
and other health care and by greater
use of cheaper generic pills.
Last year, spending on prescription
drugs rose just 0.5 percent after ad-
justing for inflation and population
growth, according to data firm IMS
Health. Without those adjustments,
spending increased 3.7 percent last
year. The volume of prescriptions filled
fell about 1 percent.
BMW edges Mercedes
Bayerische Motoren Werke’s BMW
brand, helped by a redesigned 3 Series
sedan and a March sales increase of 18
percent, finished the first quarter with
36 more deliveries than Daimler’s
Mercedes-Benz in the United States.
Sales gains by both BMW and Mer-
cedes last month indicate the battle to
be the top-selling luxury brand in the
U.S. will continue through 2012 as
inventories and new products arrive in
dealerships.
BMW became the top-selling U.S.
luxury auto brand last year after Lexus
had held the spot for the previous 11
years.

AS PROOF THAT the
mobile media market
is destined to be
forever fragmented,
yet another app-based
magazine store has
arrived on scene –
but this one is packing a punch. Meet
Next Issue, an app with a mission: to
bring you “The greatest magazines
found anywhere.”
Next Issue delivers magazines opti-
mized for tablet devices from giants
such as Condé Nast, Hearst, News
Corp. and Time Inc.
It’s not free; you’ll pay $10 a month
for unlimited access and $15 monthly
if you want to get The New Yorker,
People and Sports Illustrated.
Most if not all of the major maga-
zine titles offered have their own apps
– but they operate in a variety of fash-
ions, feature different presentations
and have individual subscription pro-
grams. Next Issue says a key virtue of
its app is consistency – everything is
presented in a similar format, which
will recapture some of the ease of
simply sitting down and reading a
magazine.
The Next Issue app brings you an
impressive array of titles, considering
the subscription price, but if you’re an
iPad owner, you’re out of luck. Next
Issue is currently available only for
select Android tablets, but according
to the website site (www.nextis-
sue.com), an iPad App is in the works.
The lack of an iPad app is surpris-
ing, given the content, but it’s pos-
sible they simply wanted to get Next
Issue into the market quickly. It’s also
an advantage that Google is restric-
tive on how Android applications
charge for content, so Android is
likely the more profitable platform,
while the iPad market is more trendy
and less competitive.
Next Issue is a collaborative ven-
ture between News Corp., Condé
Nast, Hearst Corp., the Meredith
Corp. and Time Inc. and the manage-
ment team is composed of executives
from those companies.
It’s an interesting model. They split
the cost of the infrastructure, devel-
opment and marketing but lose out on
the higher revenue from individual
digital subscriptions. They’re clearly
after quantity: at $10 or $15 a month
for all of those magazines, they’re
more likely to get a subscription
working together than individually.
Whether that’s enough to offset the
cost of the entire venture remains to
be seen.
The business model aside, if you’ve
got an Android tablet, Next Issue
seems like a great (and cheap) way to
subscribe to some of today’s most
iconic publications.

PITTSTON TWP. – Calling the com-
pany “a great anchor,” a Mericle Com-
mercial Real Estate Services official
hailed the decision by Pella Products
Inc. to move fromits Dunmore location
and become the first tenant in a new
108,939-square-foot flex building inside
the CenterPoint Commerce and Trade
Park West.
And it may not be the sole tenant too
long.
Thelocallyowneddirect-sales branch
of windowanddoor manufacturer Pella
Corp.opened a distribution center,
showroom and office headquarters at
345 Enterprise Way on Monday.
“Webelievethenewlocationwill give
us more visibility, exposure and conve-
nience for customers,” Pella Products’
local owner Bert Krieghsaid. “Thequal-
ity of the newbuilding and the services
that Mericle provide helped us choose
this property. This location provides us
a good base from which to grow.”
He said the move after 17 years from
Dunmore’s Keystone Industrial Park
was due to issues with the building, not
its location. But when looking for new
space, the Mericle site made the most
sense.
“We really felt this location was per-
fect,” Krieghsaid. “Gettingdowncloser
to Route 80 helps us a lot.” He said ac-
cess to the turnpike, Interstates 81 and
380 will remain convenient.
The company signed a 10-year lease
for 12,854 square feet from which its 19
employees will serve builders, contrac-
tors, architects and homeowners in 20
Pennsylvania counties.
“We’re very happy that Pella, a com-
pany with a great reputation and dec-
ades of success in its industry, has cho-
sen our CenterPoint West flex build-
ing,” said Mericle Vice President Bob
Besecker, who coordinated the lease.
“Pella is a great anchor and will no
doubt bring positive attention to the
new building.”
A Mericle spokesman said Pella will
not be alone in the large building for
long.
“We have had strong interest in the
building since the steel started going
up. In addition to Pella, two companies
will soon announce their plans to move
into the building. The three companies
will together occupy about 27,000
square feet, leaving 81,000 square feet
available for additional tenants,” said
Jim Cummings.
Kriegh said the space was designed
for some growth, but if the company re-
allydoes well as theeconomyrebounds,
he’s beentoldbyMericle officials they’ll
work with him to move into a larger
space in the business park.

Pella makes move

SAN FRANCISCO — Yahoo is
laying off 2,000 employees as new
CEO Scott Thompson eliminates
jobs that don’t fit into his plans for
turning around the beleaguered In-
ternet company.
The cuts announced Wednesday
represent about 14 percent of the
14,100 workers employed by Yahoo.
Yahoo estimated it will save
about $375 million annually after
the layoffs are completed later this
year.
The housecleaning marks Ya-
hoo’s sixth mass layoff in the past
four years under three different CE-
Os. This one will inflict the deepest
cuts yet, eclipsing a cost-cutting
spree that laid off 1,500 workers in
late 2008 as Yahoo tried to cope
with the Great Recession.
The previous purges under Yahoo
co-founder Jerry Yang and his suc-
cessor, Carol Bartz, boosted earn-
ings. But trimming the payroll
didn’t reverse a revenue slump,
which has disillusioned investors
yearning for growth at a time when
more advertising is flowing to the
Internet.
The cuts are part of an overhaul
aimed at focusing on what Thomp-
son believes are Yahoo’s strengths
while also trying to address its
weaknesses in the increasingly im-
portant mobile computing market.
Thompson is betting Yahoo will
be able to sell more advertising if
it’s more astute inthe analysis of the
personal informationthat it collects
fromthe roughly 700 millionpeople
who visit its website each month.

Today will be a
little colder than
Wednesday was
as northerly
winds continue
to direct chilly
air down from
Canada. This air
is also very dry
causing the
humidity this
afternoon to
drop below 20%
and with a gusty
breeze, the dan-
ger of brush
fires will be ele-
vated. We expect
little change in
the weather pat-
tern this week
and so there is
virtually no
chance of having
any more rain
here until next
week. Both today
and Friday will
feature jacket
weather under
clear blue skies
and Saturday will
be pleasing as
well with dry
northerly winds.
Easter Sunday
will be a little
warmer with
sunshine.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A storm system will trigger numerous showers and thunderstorms from the
Mid-Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee Valley and the Southeast today. A few of these storms may
be strong to severe. An upper-level trough of low pressure will also bring rain and higher elevation
snow showers to the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies.

THE TIMES LEADER THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 2012

For everything, there is a sea-
son. And for every relationship, it
seems, there is a status update on
Facebook.
The gatekeeper of most things
personal these days took a look at
when users seemto be hooking up
and breaking up with all of those
declarations of love. Using relation-
ship data of U.S.-based users from
2010 and 2011, they evaluated how
different times of the year affected
the blossoming and wilting of rela-
tionships.
The hot summer months ap-
pearedtohaveachillingeffect onre-
lationshipchangessharedontheso-
cial networking site. “Across age
groups, thesummermonthsarebad
news for relationships,” the Face-
bookDatateamwroteinitsnote.“In
2010and2011, MaythroughAugust
were clearly lower than the other
months of the year, suggesting the
daily net change in relationships re-
aches a lowduringthe summer.”
February was a high time for
new relationship revelations.
That was boosted, the data team
said, by the boom on Valentine’s
Day, which showed the highest
rate of relationship notifications
— 49 percent more than splits.
Christmas was
right behind it
with 34 percent
more connec-
tions boasted
on Dec. 25.
And, as you
might imagine,
April 1 showed
a jump in rela-
tionship up-
dates: 20 per-
cent more rela-
tionship listings than splits. Of
course, April 2 showed the most
extreme move in the opposite di-
rection, with 11 percent more
“break-ups” than new relation-
ships.
The data team said they saw
gains inrelationshipupdates after
the weekend, with Sunday, Mon-
day, andTuesday the biggest days
for new updates. Relatively more
break-ups were revealed leading
uptotheweekend, peakingonFri-
day and Saturday among older
age groups.
For the under-25 crowd, the
weeklypatternhaditslowpointin
relationshipupdates onThursday
and Friday, followed by a slightly
earlier weekendbumpstartingon
Saturday.
Certainly, Facebook’s data on
relationships aren’t precise. Not
everyone reveals their relation-
ships immediately — or at all.
And it’s a little amusing that the
data team describes their data in
definitive terms as relationships
actually forming or falling apart,
as opposed to those realities sim-
ply being revealed.
I mean, do you really take the
chance of prematurely announcing
your relationship’s beginnings or
endings, or do you let it marinate a
minute before casting it in virtual
stone on Facebook? It’s a big deci-
siontomakeyour privatelifepublic
—or maybe not as much as it used
tobe.
Andweall knowit’s not real until
it’sonFacebook. Couplesaren’treal-
ly couples until they are connected
by status update, even if they’ve
beenmarriedfor decades.

CHICAGO — The high school
research paper, that academic
rite of passage riddled with foot-
notes and anchored by a bibliog-
raphy, has fadedfrommany class-
rooms, a consequence of larger
class sizes that leave teachers
with more students and less
time.
Several high schools have
dialed back the paper’s length re-
quirements and instead empha-
size the research process and
weighing of sources, a critical
skill in the digital era, teachers
say.
Others skip the extended as-
signment entirely in favor of
shorter, intermittent papers,
while some allow students to
showcase their research with
PowerPoint presentations and
Web pages.
But students could miss out on
key research and writing skills
that help themsucceed in college
as a result, several historians and
professors contend.
“I figure if you write a serious
history essay ... you’ve brokenthe
ice of scholarship,” said Will Fitz-
hugh, the founder and one-man
force behind The Concord Re-
view, which spotlights the best
highschool researchpapers. “But
we’re sending kids to college
without that experience.”
Timothy Gilfoyle, chairman of
the history department at Loyola
University Chicago, estimated
that less than 10 percent of his
students wrote a history research
paper inhighschool that drewon
primary sources and spanned 10
pages.
So to give freshmen a taste of
historical research early in col-
lege, Gilfoyle assigns a 10- to 12-
page paper as a take-home final
exam in his freshmen survey
class. He offers to read and edit
an early draft of the essay for stu-
dents willing to rewrite and re-
work it for their final grade.
“They are less capable of writ-
ing long papers of 10 pages or
more. It often requires more re-
mediation on our part to explain
and encourage them to submit
rough drafts,” Gilfoyle said.
Some schools are proud to
have held on to the time-honored
term paper.

traditional it’s cutting edge,” said
history teacher Paul Horton at
theUniversityof ChicagoLabora-
tory Schools. Research papers by
Four Lab students were featured
inthe two most recent editions of
The Concord Review in what
Fitzhugh called a rare feat.
In 2002, Fitzhugh persuaded
the Albert Shanker Institute to
fund a survey to find out how
many public highschool teachers
assign history research papers.
With state standardized exams
increasingly affecting how stu-
dents, teachers and schools are
measured, he wonderedif the tra-
ditional term paper might be
lost.
About 95 percent of the 400
high school history teachers sur-
veyed said they thought it was
important for students to write a
research paper, saying it im-
proved students’ research, writ-
ing and thinking skills, the study
found. But six of every 10 said
they never assign a paper longer
than 12 pages.
Time played a leading role in
the disconnect. About 27 percent
of teachers cited the time re-
quired to read and correct papers
as cause for why they did not
hand out more term papers. A
third said they spend 30 to 60
minutes grading every assign-
ment, according to the results.
Fenwick High School assigns
teachers a lighter load of classes
in a nod to the intensive writing
that students must do and that
teachers must grade. English
teachers at the Oak Park, Ill.,
school shoulder four courses
rather thanthestandardfive, said
Richard Borsch, associate princi-
pal.
“I want spaghetti sauce all over
the paper. I want corrections so
they learn,” Borsch said.

HONOR ROLL
Mansfield and, of course, Marilyn
Monroe.
“Thosewomenunderstoodthat
fittedclothinglooks best onthem.
It accentuates their assets, if you
will,” Bryant saidwitha laugh.
Peggy Olson (played by Elisa-
beth Moss) already has evolved
out of the little-girl outfits she
woreinthefirsttwoseasonsasshe
rose fromsecretary to copywriter
at SterlingCooper.
“We really see Peggy progress
themost interms of storyandcos-
tume design,” Bryant said.
So Bryant, who won an Emmy
for her work on “Mad Men,” put
Peggyinpolkadots, plaidsandPe-
ter Pan collars, what she calls the
“ultimate schoolgirl” look. By last
season, though, she was wearing
suits andsmart dresses.
Jane Maas, author of the new
tell-all biography “Mad Women,”
whose career took her fromcopy-
writer to creative director and
agency president, is a real-life ver-
sion of Peggy Olson. She entered
the advertising world at Ogilvy &
Mather in1964.
“It was the Jackie Kennedy era.
Every woman wanted to look like
Jackie. Not ahair was out of place.
We wore those swingy coats,” she
said.
But things were about to
change, and the first sign was the
miniskirt. David Ogilvy put out a
memo to his staff that the skirts
weren’t allowed, Maassaid, but he
eventually gave up.
As new trends rolled in, it was
copywriters who took chances
withfashion.
“I wanted to make a statement
that I was creative. That was im-
portant inside the agency and for
my clients,” she said.
Maas, whowashappilymarried
to husband Michael in the ’60s,
said she enjoyed drawing atten-
tiontoherselfwithherclothes, but
not inthewayJoanHarrisdoes. In
1968, Maaswasthefirst womanto
come towork at Ogilvy &Mather
ina pantsuit.
“It was a rust-colored tweed. I
was so proud. It was so avante-
garde. I knew that I was turning
heads,” Maas said. “The other
womenall lookedat meinshock.”
Maaswenttomeetherhusband
for dinner that night after work.
When she showed up at 21 in her
pantsuit, the tony restaurant re-
fusedtolet her in.
“I had to wait in the lobby,” she
said. “Theyhadjacketsandtiesfor
menbut not skirts for women.”
Though she had fun with
clothes, Maas said she doesn’t
miss what she had to wear be-
neaththem.
“People don’t realize the layers
wewerewearing,” shesaid. There
were girdles, garters and nylons
withseamsupthebackthat hadto
be kept straight.
“Then over this, you had a bra
that madeyourbreastslooklikeja-
velins,” Maas said. “You wore a
slip, eitherroseorwhite, underev-
erything.”
And when the ladies on “Mad
Men”get undressed, you’reseeing
the real thing.
“Most of theslipsI usearegenu-
ine. Theylast,”Bryantsaid. Pieces
with elastic might be reproduc-
tions, or they could be vintage.
“Some of the actors wear genuine
pieces that we have been able to
findintheir original boxes.”
Bryant, who has clothes for her
characters custom-made if she
can’t find them, released her sec-
ond “Mad Men”-inspired line at
Banana Republic for spring.
“TheclassicshapethatI lovefor
most figuresisthesheath,”Bryant
said. For women who like sepa-
rates, check out the pants, de-
signed from a pair January Jones
wore on the show—“Betty Drap-
er’s classic cigarette pant.”
MAD MEN
Continued from Page 1C
AP PHOTOS
’Mad Men’ has gone beyond a fashion fad. The AMC show about
a 1960s ad agency that counts its clothes as an additional char-
acter continues to influence runways and retailers, including its
own branded collection debuting at Banana Republic.
A woman models a pink floral
Joan dress from the Banana
Republic Mad Men collection. A
steady parade of Betty, Peggy
and Joan look-alikes has ap-
peared on the catwalks as de-
signers interpreted their favor-
ite looks from the early ’60s
stylized AMC drama ’Mad Men.’

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: “Robert”
and I met four years
ago and fell in love.
At the time, he was
two years clean and
sober and attending
meetings. Due to his
work schedule, he
stopped attending the meetings.
Robert is intelligent, a hard worker,
handsome and my best friend. He
prided himself on his sobriety, so
imagine my shock when I found an
empty liquor bottle buried in the
trash and three more under the bed. I
am devastated. I didn’t know what to
say to him or how to react, because I
have never been down this road.
I told Robert I knew he was drink-
ing again. I could barely hold back my
tears because I knew what a huge set-
back this is for him. He said he didn’t
want to discuss it, so I didn’t push.
What am I supposed to do when
the man I love has relapsed? My
heart aches for him. I’m trying to be
supportive, but I am clueless. Please
help.
— Helpless
Dear Helpless: The first thing to do
is recognize that this is Robert’s prob-
lem, and only he can fix it. If you plan
to stay involved with him, understand
that it is not unusual for someone
with a substance abuse problem to
fall off the wagon from time to time.
The next thing you should do, and
this is important, is find your nearest
chapter of Al-Anon. It’s an organiza-
tion that was started by the wife of
an alcoholic, and its sole purpose is
to help the family and friends of alco-
holics. The toll-free phone number is
888-425-2666, and it has been men-
tioned in this column many times.
There will be meetings for you to
attend so you can learn to avoid fall-
ing into the trap of trying to “save” or
enable Robert, because in order for
him to get better he must experience
the consequences of going back to
drinking. This is not easy to do with
someone you care about, and you will
need all of the support you can get.
By the way, your letter arrived in
the same batch as the one below. It
may give you some insight:
Dear Abby: A few years ago I talked
to my mother about her drinking.
She’s a binge drinker and her excuse
is always, “It’s my day off.” I am focus-
ing on myself and trying to figure out
my life with the help of Al-Anon.
I knew that once I uttered the word
“alcoholic” aloud, my relationship
with my mother would forever be
affected. I asked her to contact me
when she was ready to quit because I
can no longer enable her drinking.
I miss the mom who doesn’t drink,
but I can’t be around her when she
does. As I grow in my recovery, I may
figure out how to do that. But for
now, I need to put space between us.
My family is worried something
drastic will happen (as her health
isn’t good) and I will have regrets.
But I have expressed my thoughts
and accepted that Mom and I may
never speak again. Is that wrong?
— Still a Loving Daughter in
Wisconsin
Dear Still A Loving Daughter: No,
it’s not wrong. Your mother’s binge
drinking was affecting her health as
well as her relationship with you,
and it was the right thing to do —
for both of you. Let’s hope that your
strength in doing that will give her
the strength to stop her binges.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Man’s six years of sobriety end in shock and uncertainty for woman
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). You’ll
have an excellent sense of what
will be lucky for you. You’ll also
note what is likely to be burden-
some, and you’ll run in the oppo-
site direction.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Someone cares enough to put
on a theatrical show of emotions
for you. This may pull at your
heartstrings, or it may amuse
you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
reputation precedes you. There’s
something in the way others
approach you that makes you
understand your position anew.
This inspires you to do what it
takes to keep your public image
pristine.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Just
when you start to feel that life is
a super-long road trip, someone
dear will take the wheel for a
while so you can relax. It’s proof
that your people love you for
who you are and not strictly for
what you can do for them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The funny
thing about sensation is that
too much pleasure will quickly
become pain — ha, ha, ha.
Moderation is the key to liking
what you enjoy for now and the
days to come.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You love
your friends and family, but you
don’t always want them in your
business. Sometimes your door
hanger is turned to “Do Not
Disturb.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is
joy and unexpected pleasure to
be had by giving in to the wiles
and whims of others. Tonight: Be
careful not to defend yourself
before you’re being attacked.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you
feel an inexplicable pull toward
the supernatural world? Your
desire to fine-tune your intuitive
skills begins with strong hunches
and ends with an irresistible
wave of feeling.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Work presents special challeng-
es. You may experience feelings
of jealousy, and if so, they’re
something to celebrate. You’re
being led to excel in a certain
direction. The spirit of competi-
tion will keep you sharp.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Clinging to what you want only
defeats your efforts. Let go.
The old adage is so true: If it’s
really yours, set it free, and it
will come back to you. The art of
detachment will liberate you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
don’t always know what you’re
doing. It’s beautiful. Life is a
creative process, after all. Your
ability to improvise will come
into play.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Coming up with solutions for the
problems of the world seems to
be your forte of late. You think
no one understands the pres-
sures you are under, but that’s
where you’re wrong.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 5).
Love connections strengthen
this year as you create more
experiences with loved ones.
The next 10 weeks open your
eyes and heart in new ways. It
will be such a fortuitous move
that you’ll immediately sign on
for another. Your love signs
are Pisces and Taurus. Your
lucky numbers are: 7, 30, 22,
13 and 18.
