WILKES-BARRE – Barring “a

ping in to take over homeless ser-
vices of The REACH Program,
folks can expect to see increasing
numbers of homeless people
hanging around Public Square

REACH Inc., a “grass-roots
ministry of last resort for the less
fortunate,” will be forced to close
the doors of its drop-in center lo-
cated in the basement of St. Ste-
phen’s Episcopal Church on
South Franklin Street because of
a lack of funding, according to a
news release that boardmembers
issued Monday.
“Nine years ago, we sawthe hu-

As of now, we are the only orga-
nization addressing this commu-

HANOVER TWP. – By paying
off the 2011 tax-anticipation
loan, the commissioners said
they will save the township
$12,285 in interest.
Commissioners unanimously
voted at Monday night’s meet-
ing to pay off the $906,615 loan
nearly eight months early. The
loan would have been due Dec.
31, 2011, but citing a decrease in
spending, the township was able
to pay it off by the end of the
month, said Township Manager
John Sipper.
“We’re only spending on what
we need to,” said Sipper. “It was
all through sound fiscal manag-
ing.”
Sipper said the township
chose to pay off the loan because
it won’t need the funds and there
was no reason to hold on to
them.
In other business, the commis-
sioners:
• Awarded a bid to replace the
floor in the No. 1 fire station to
G.C. Wall Inc. of Wyoming for
$21,600. Other companies that
bid on the job were LA Concrete
of Clarks Summit, $30,000; C.E.
Ankiewicz of Mountain Top,
$31,066; Berger Construction of
Freeland, $24,960; and Multis-
cape of Pittston, $29,500.
• Approved payments of
$34,846 to Reilly Associates for
work on the Truesdale Terrace
and Witinski’s Villa sewer pro-
ject as well as a payment of
$5,790 for work on fire station
No. 1.
• Adopted an ordinance ban-
ning the sale, distribution, con-
sumption and possession of bath
salts in the township.
• Submitted an application
under the COPS program seek-
ing funding for one full-time po-
lice officer position.
• Approved the request of Po-
lice Chief Albert Walker to at-
tend the 98th annual Education
and Training Conference in Lan-
caster, at a cost of $770.
• Approved a motion to lease
a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado from
the Ford Motor Credit Co. at a
cost of $67,962. The lease will
run for 36 months and the vehi-
cle will be used in the road de-
partment.
• Accepted the letter of retire-
ment from Sharon Forsey from
the position of records clerk in
township police department ef-
fective July 29, 2011.

HAZLE TWP. -- Sewer costs
were brought up for discussion
at Monday night’s Hazle Town-
ship supervisors meeting.
Residents from Cranberry,
Hardwood, and Crystal Ridge
said sewer costs in their areas
were higher than in other parts
of the township.
“We pay $165 quarterly and
$65 monthly to cover sewer
fees. As working people, we
don’t find this acceptable,” said
Debra Trentley, a Cranberry res-
ident raising her young grand-
son.
Chairman William Gallagher
said sewer costs of all township
residents were similar, although
the cost of each individual pro-
ject dictated the specific cost to
the residents. Residents whose
sewer projects were recently
completed have fees that reflect
repayment of project-related
loans, said Gallagher.
Supervisor Butchie Boyarski
agreedwiththis assessment and
encouraged residents to attend
the sewer board meeting May
18, which will directly address
this matter.
Gallagher also addressedresi-
dent concerns that the cost of
township projects was rising in
general. He referred to unfund-
ed state mandates that directed
the township to pay higher rates
to laborers. He said these man-
dated costs do not take into con-
sideration the income of resi-
dents.
“For example, the state di-
rects that we pay construction-
site truck drivers over $40 per
hour,” said Gallagher. He said,
“There is no way around these
mandates.”
In another matter, James
McGarry, of Christine Road,
said part of that road has not
been maintained by the town-
ship. He said the township indi-
catedthestreet was “not deeded
or dedicated” andtherefore inel-
igible for township attention.
The resident, who shared
photos of his water-logged prop-
erty, said he frequently fell on
the ice in front of his home and
safety was a concern.
“I actually went out and
bought a snowplow. I am now
the ‘street snowplower,’ ”
McGarry said. “I believe that it
is the township’s responsibility
for maintenance of this road.”
Gallagher promised to look
into the matter and get back to
McGarry.

abused with the dumping of
non-yard waste, and that non-
residents were using the facility.
He cited the dumping of non-
lawn items and an odor prob-
lem.

ough’s representative to the Lu-
zerne County Tax Collection

way.
The association plans to hon-
or the Mattiolis at the rededica-
tion. Plans for the ceremony are
still being finalized, but the as-
sociation has asked Boyer to be

WEST WYOMING -- At Mon-
day’s council meeting, Council
President Eileen Cipriani an-
nounced the borough was recent-
ly awarded the Governor’s Award
for Local Government Excel-
lence in the category of Respon-
ding to Adversity.
Of the 2,562local governments
in the state, West Wyoming was
one of 10 communities to receive
the award, she said.
“One and a half years ago, it
was determined West Wyoming
Borough was in serious financial
trouble,” she said. “In October
2009, the borough had $168,000
in unpaid bills and $32 in its gen-
eral fund checking account.”
On the advice of state Rep.
Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, the
borough entered into an Early In-
tervention Program, and strict fi-
nancial policy changes instituted
by council led to a dramatic re-
covery, Cipriani added.
“In less than one year, through
the efforts of the borough council
and with the guidance of the
Pennsylvania Economy League,
the borough is now financially
stable,” she said. “The borough
has beenona budget andfinished
2010 in the black, which was the
first time in five years that hap-
pened.”
The borough is holding an
open house Thursday at 6 p.m. to
showcase energy improvements
made to the town hall. The im-
provements were made possible
by a $241,114 state Conservation
Works Grant through the Amer-
ican Recovery and Reinvestment
Act of 2009.
The event will include local of-
ficials, DEP representatives, pro-
ject engineers and architects. Re-
freshments will be served.
In other business, council:
•Tentatively awarded a con-
tract for a major stormwater mit-
igation project to the lowest bid-
der, Ed Krasavage Construction,
for $595,938, subject to final ap-
proval from the borough engi-
neer. The boroughwas awardeda
combined sum of $650,000 to
fund the project. Two-thirds of
that amount comes from a state
H2O grant and one third from a
Penn Vest Principal Forgiveness
Loan, which doesn’t have to be
paid back, said Cipriani. The pro-
ject, which will begin in July, in-
cludes repairing or replacing 24
collapsed dry wells throughout
the borough.
•Voted to hire Jeff Lewis, Ken
Shotwell and Ed Lewko as part-
time, as needed police officers.
•Reminded residents of sever-
al of the borough’s ordinances
that address lawn maintenance
and abandoned vehicles.

HUGHESTOWN-- Several bor-
ough residents attended Monday
night’s council meeting to com-
plain about the upkeep of some
properties around the municipal-
ity.
Rock Street residents Dave
Drobeck and Faye Kascmir com-
plainedabout the state of the out-
er property around a house on
their street. They said the un-
kempt lawn, swimming pool and
the buildup of junk items in the
yard could pose health hazards
and drive down the surrounding
property values.
Drobeck said he was worried
theunusedpool will soonbecome
abreedinggroundformosquitoes
that bring disease such as West
Nile virus.
Kascmir, who lives next to the
problemhouse, added that many
used tires in the property’s back-
yardalso tendto attract pests.
She said the problem has be-
comesobadit has forcedher fam-
ily to consider selling their home
and moving out of the borough.
Her onlyconcernwiththat planis
that the state of her neighbor’s
home might prevent someone
frombuying her house.
Mayor Paul Hindmarsh prom-
ised he would have police Chief
Steve Goyla visit the property
owners totell themwhat changes
are needed to bring the property
up to code.
“Weliketohavethechief goout
there and give a warning before
we start the legal process,” Hind-
marshsaid.
He said the borough likes to
avoid taking these issues to a dis-
trict judge because the lengthy
process and court costs often
make these issues seem self-de-
feating. He estimated that by the
time due process is followed, the
summermightbeoverand/orthe
issues might already be resolved.
Marty Williams of Washington

WARRIOR RUN -- For the sec-
ond month, the Borough Coun-
cil could not consider a proposed
burn ban ordinance because of
solicitor James Pyrah’s absence.
Residents and council mem-
bers alike expressed frustration
at having to put off a decision
again. Council President Bob
Daylida encouraged citizens to
contact Pyrah themselves.
Borough engineer Paul Pason-
ick gave a report on a blocked
stormwater pipe on Beaumont
Street that was discussed at the
April meeting.
Pasonick said a camera was
used to assess the damage in the
pipe. But the condition of the
pipe is still uncertain.
“The camera could only go 85
feet but the pipe is more than
200 feet long,” he said.
He said it was hard to make an
estimate on the cost of repairs,
but it could be $25,000 or more
to open the pipe.
During his report, Mayor Jim
Brodginski asked for a meeting
with the solicitor about the wa-
ter problems on Beaumont
Street.
He said there are questions
about property titles that have to
be addressed before the borough
can proceed with repairs. He
said that the erosion caused by
the blocked pipe was very seri-
ous.
“I’ve received hundreds of
calls about the problem,” he
said. “It affects many properties.
There has to be another solu-
tion. Putting $25,000 into it is
not going to fix the problem.”
Several residents also ex-
pressed continued concerns
about the water problems on
Beaumont Street.
They also expressed anger at
the absence of the solicitor.
Resident Dave Dudeck said
quad ATVs were being driven il-
legally on borough streets. Coun-
cil member Larry Siejak said the
ATVs were being driven at exces-
sive speeds.
Resident Joan Ellis said she
felt that the council leadership
was unresponsive. She would al-
so like to see the ordinances pub-
lished in the newspaper.
Council member Sandra Wegr-
zynowicz said that the ordinanc-
es will be made available at the
borough building and that resi-
dents can make an appointment
with the council secretary.

Raup files finance report
Charlotte Raup, Democratic candi-
date for Wilkes-Barre mayor, also
filed a campaign finance report with
the Luzerne County Bureau of Elec-
tions. In the report
filed for Raup for
Mayor, the candi-
date lists $1,760
raised and $1,733 in
expenditures.
The largest do-
nor was listed as
Edward Gross of
Wilkes-Barre at
$500. Donating $100 each were:
Kathy Reiser, Shavertown; Dolores
Dlugosh, Eugene S. Pelletier, Linda
Felix, Bernadette Druby, Patrick
Flannery, Richard Yale, Tyler Ham-
mond and Antonia Camera, and Rick
and Marilyn Voelker, all of Wilkes-
Barre. James Hayward, former city
administrator, donated $90.
No campaign finance reports were
filed by candidates Frank Sorick,
Lisa Cope or Nick Punko.
LUZERNE
Court hearing continued
A court hearing on a petition to
decrease the size of Luzerne Borough
Council was continued Monday be-
cause, according to Luzerne County
Judge Lewis Wetzel, the hearing was
not properly advertised. A new hear-
ing date has not been scheduled.
Luzerne resident Kathleen Pajor,
who is a candidate for council in the
primary election, filed a petition
through attorney Mark Bufalino earli-
er this year seeking to reduce the
number of council candidates from
seven to five.
Pajor said the borough code allows
a borough with a population of fewer
than 3,000 residents to reduce council
membership from seven to five. She
said there are an estimated 2,845
residents in Luzerne, according to the
2010 U.S. Census.
Pajor said council has taken action
to reduce costs, terminated positions
and eliminated all full-time employ-
ees.
She said the reduction of council
members is equally required to re-
duce borough expenses.

BEAVER MEADOWS – Two
area state legislators held a
press conference near Hazle-
ton on Monday morning to ex-
press their outrage over the
federal government’s recent re-
lease of an admitted illegal im-
migrant who was stopped for
speeding.
“We’re fed up with this.
Something needs to be done.
It’s time that our federal gov-
ernment enforces the laws,”
said state Rep. Tarah Toohil, R-
Butler Township. “We have lo-
cal police who are stopping
and doing the job of the federal
government. All the federal
government needs to do is fol-
lowthrough. It’s time that they
own up to their responsibility.”
State Rep. Doyle Heffley, a
Republican in Carbon County,
also blasted federal author-
ities.
“This was a blatant violation
of American law, and I cannot
believe that our federal gov-
ernment cannot do a better
job. I call on our president and
the administration to please
enforce – are pleading with
themto enforce – our immigra-
tion laws,” Heffley said.
Michael Morresi, who is po-
lice chief in nearby Beaver
Meadows borough in Carbon
County, said the illegal immi-
grant, Oswaldo Tlalmis-Perez,
had been driving 21 mph over
the posted speed limit.
Tlalmis-Perez produced a
Mexican voter registration
card as identification and had
two Pennsylvania ACCESS
cards in other names and
$3,000 in cash, Morresi said.
The man had no job or address
and told Morresi that he had
lived illegally in New Jersey
for five years and in Hazleton
for one year.

State Sen. John Yudichak, D-

he supports S.B. 9 that would
require individuals, at least 18
years of age, to prove that they
are legal residents of the United
States before receiving public
benefits.
The bill was passed out of the
Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee on Monday and now moves
on for a full Senate vote. Yud-
ichak cited the recent incident
involving an illegal immigrant in
Beaver Meadows as justification
for the legislation.

WILKES-BARRE – Jury selection for
a man awarded a new trial in a deadly
shooting near a highway rest stop 28
years ago is expected to take a week or
more.
James Lincoln Strong, 59, is facing a
criminal homicide trial for the shotgun
slaying of John Strock along Interstate
81 in Dorrance Township on Aug. 18,
1983.
Strock, of Glenside,
had picked up Strong
and James Alexander,
who were hitchhiking
along the interstate
near the Maryland bor-
der. During the ride,
Strong and Alexander
had overtaken Strock
at gunpoint, according
to arrest records.
When they stopped to relieve them-
selves, Strock was led into the woods,
where he was killed by a shotgun blast.
Strong was convicted of first-degree
homicide and sentenced to death in
1984.
The state Supreme Court overturned
Strong’s conviction in November 2000,
when the court ruled Strong did not re-
ceive a fair trial because prosecutors
failedtoreveal theyhada deal withAlex-
ander in exchange for Alexander’s testi-
mony at the initial trial.
Alexander pleaded guilty to third-de-
gree murder and was sentenced to 40
months to 10 years. He died in prison.
The District Attorney’s Office was set
to retry Strong four years ago, but the
trial was delayed after Strong’s former
attorney filed an appeal with the state
Superior Court alleging a retrial consti-
tuted double jeopardy, a provision in the
U.S. Constitution that precludes a per-
son from being tried twice for the same
crime. The appellate court denied the
double jeopardy argument.
Before the start of jury selection on
Monday, Strong’s attorneys – Shelley
Centini, Brian Corcoran and William
Watt – made one last attempt tohave the
case dismissed based on double jeopar-
dy and the misconduct by prosecutors
during the 1984 trial.
President Judge Thomas F. Burke Jr.,
who is presiding over the trial, denied
the request.
“We’ve been preparing for this case
since 2000. There is no basis to dismiss
this case under double jeopardy,” said
Luzerne County Assistant District At-
torney James McMonagle, who is prose-
cuting the case along with assistant dis-
trict attorneys Michael Melnick and
Maureen Collins.
A pool of more than 130 potential ju-
rors was placed Monday morning in a
courtroom, where they were addressed
by Burke on what to expect during the
selectionprocess and, if picked, the trial.
A total of 16 jurors will be seated for
the trial.

WILKES-BARRE– Even though peo-
ple living outside the city have received
a letter offering low-cost warranty pro-
tection for sewer lines, the program is
only for Wilkes-Barre residents.
The letter, signed by Wilkes-Barre
Mayor Thomas M. Leighton, offers to
enroll city residents in an optional war-
ranty program from Service Line War-
ranties of America covering repairs up
to $4,000 on sewer lines running from
houses to the sewer mains.
The Plains Township Sewer Author-
ity has nothing to do withthe letter that
was also sent to residents of the town-
ship.
“This program does not cover Plains
Townshipsewer lines,” saidRonFilippi-
ni, chairman of the Township Board of
Commissioners. “The people of Plains
should not respond to this because it
will not cover their sewer lines.”
Filippini saidthat if any township res-
ident has enrolled in the program, the
township will contact the company and
notify it of the mailing mix-up and re-
quest refunds. Filippini said the letter
was deceiving to township residents.
DrewMcLaughlin, administrativeco-
ordinator for Leighton, said the notifi-
cation mailer was handled by the com-
pany and not the city.
He said the city provided the compa-
ny with a list of ZIP codes for the city
and the company purchased the ZIP
code mailing list from the U.S. Postal
Service.
“The city shares ZIP codes with
neighboring communities, and some
residents outside of the city limits re-
ceived the letter mistakenly,”
McLaughlin said. “We’ve contacted the
company and they are amending their
list so that non-Wilkes-Barre residents
will not receive future mailers.”
McLaughlin said any Wilkes-Barre
resident or non-resident may call 866-
922-9006, the customer service hotline,
to opt out of future mailings from the
company.
McLaughlin said the Service Line
Warranty program provides low-cost,
worry-free warranty protection for sew-
er lines. The city gets10 percent of reve-
nue from subscriptions.
“Many citizens are unaware that they
are responsible for sewer lines that go
from the utility connection to their
houses. If these lines break or leak, re-
pairs can be very expensive,” Leighton
said.
The warranty protection covers sew-
er line repairs up to $4,000 plus an addi-
tional $4,000 incoverage if public street
cutting is required. The program is of-
fered at no cost to the city of Wilkes-
Barre.
According to its website, Service
Line Warranties of America is head-
quarteredinCanonsburg, Pa., andoper-
ates under the umbrella of Utility Ser-
vice Partners.

WILKES-BARRE – As the new guy
with only about seven months to serve
before leaving the post, Wilkes-Barre
Area School Board member Dr. Mark
Shiowitz concedes his chances tohave a
major impact are small.
But the successful surgeon believes
the district can benefit from a fresh
voice and new ideas.
Shiowitz was sworn in Monday night
to replace Teresa McGuire, who re-
signed in December because she was
leavingthe area. He will finishher term,
which ends in December.
“I would not pretend that I know
enough to change the world or to ac-
complish a great deal in that time,” he
said Monday afternoon. “For the short
period of time I’m there, if there is
something I can do to help, at least I’ll
feel I tried.”
The School Board failed to agree up-
on a replacement for McGuire. By state
law, the decision fell to Luzerne County
courts.
Judges picked Shiowitz last week
from eight applicants, a decision he
found surprising.
“I submitted my name truly never
thinking I’d ever be picked for this,” he

STAFF WRI TER
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to start
your spring cl eaning earl y t his year. The
Treasure Hunters Roadshow opens today in
Wilkes-Barre and is looking for antiques
and col l ect i bl es. Remember t hose Hot
Wheels cars you played with as a kid? You
know, the ones that have been stored away
in the attic for the past 30 years. Well it’s
time to dig ‘em out, along with any other
forgotten treasures. You might be sitting on a
small fortune and not even know it.
Roadshow representative, Archie Davis,
explains what the event is all about. “It’s a
chance to get paid today, on the spot, for
your cl assi c col l ect i bl es. We host over
3,000 shows every year throughout the U.S.
and Canada. Toys, dol l s, t rai ns, pocket
watches, old advertising signs, gold jewelry,
coins and just about anything can be sold at
the Roadshow. This event is popular because
it
puts money in people’s pockets. At a typical
show, we will see hundreds of people during
the five day event. We will see a few un-
usual items, but mostly we will see a lot of
old coins, gold jewelry, and a wide variety
of antiques and collectibles. Last week at a
show in Missouri, a retired dentist walked in
with over 5 lbs. of dental gold fillings. “I
would say that is pretty unusual, wouldn’t
you say?” commented Davis. The gentleman
received over $31,243 for his gold fillings.
He told Davis that over the years he would
keep the extracted teeth when the owners
didn’t want them. He would throw them in a
jar and over the years it added up to over 5
lbs. of gold. Now, not everyone has a jar of
gold teeth lying around, but according to
Davis, more than you might think have some
sort of gold they can cash in. Davis says,
“The Roadshow receives a fair amount of
gold each day of the 5 day event.”
Broken jewelr y, gold coins and dental
gold have been the largest payouts so far
with today’s high gold prices. Archie Davis
commented, “Other top categories at the
Roadshow would have to be silver dollars
and other coins, pocket watches and my per-
sonal favorite, old toys.” Davis told me a
story about a visitor at a recent Roadshow in
Iowa. “This elderly gentleman walked into
the show and asked if we were interested in
old toys. He explained that he had kept all
of the toys from his childhood and that they
were outside in his pickup. I walked outside,
and to my surprise his pickup was full of the
coolest old toys I had ever seen: big old met-
als trucks, pedal cars, train sets, cast iron
toys, he had it all. At the end of that day, he
ended up walking away with over $7,000
for his old toys. His last comment to me was,
‘Well, I guess it’s time to let ‘em go.’”
Whether you have 5 lbs. of gold or a
single gold tooth, a pickup full of old toys or
a singl e Barbie dol l , you shoul d visit t he
Roadshow this week. It’s free, it’s fun and it
could put some money in your pocket, may-

Newt to run for president
A
spokesman for Newt Gingrich says
the former House speaker is running
for president.
Rick Tyler told The Associated Press
that Gingrich will make it official
Wednesday with an-
nouncements on Face-
book and Twitter. He
will give an interview
to Fox News later that
night.
Gingrich has made
no secret of his White
House ambitions. He’s
been raising money
and assembling a
campaign team for months.
Getting into the race marks a come-
back attempt by the former Georgia
congressman who stepped down from
the House after four tumultuous years as
speaker.
SYRACUSE, N.Y.
Bus driver faces charges
The injured driver of a double-decker
Megabus that smashed into a low bridge
in upstate New York in September, kill-
ing four passengers, was charged Mon-
day with four counts of criminally negli-
gent homicide.
John Tomaszewski, 60, of Yardville,
N.J., made a wrong turn off an interstate
highway late at night just outside down-
town Syracuse, and the 13-foot-1-inch-tall
bus failed to clear the railroad bridge’s
10-foot-9-inch span.
The Philadelphia-to-Toronto bus was
carrying 29 people, including the driver,
when it crashed Sept. 11 on Onondaga
Lake Parkway in Salina.
DAKAR, SENEGAL
U.N.: Scores in mass grave
U.N. investigators in Ivory Coast have
determined there were at least 68 bodies
spread out across 10 burial mounds in a
mass grave recently discovered on a
soccer field in Abidjan, the country’s
commercial capital.
Guillaume Ngefa, the deputy director
of the human rights division of the U.N.
mission in Ivory Coast, said Monday the
victims were likely killed by pro-Laurent
Gbagbo militias on April 12, the day after
the strongman was arrested.
The killings occurred the day after
Gbagbo was arrested by the army fight-
ing to install the nation’s democratically
elected leader, Alassane Ouattara.
APIA, SAMOA
Date-line switch coming
Samoa plans to leap 24 hours into the
future, erasing a day and putting a new
kink in the Pacific’s jagged international
date line so that it can be on the same
weekday as Australia, New Zealand and
eastern Asia.
It’ll be Back to the Future for the
island nation, offsetting a decision it
made 119 years ago to stay behind a day
and align itself with U.S. traders.
That has meant that when it’s dawn
Sunday in Samoa, it’s already dawn
Monday in adjacent Tonga and shortly
before dawn Monday in nearby New
Zealand, Australia and prominent east-
ern Asia trade partners such as China.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Mississippi
crept toward the highest level ever in the
river city, flooding pockets of low-lying
neighborhoods and forcing hundreds
from their homes, though the water was
not threatening the music heartland’s
most recognizable landmarks, from Gra-
celand to Beale Street.
As residents waited for the river to re-
ach its peak as early as Monday night —
several inches short of the record mark
set in 1937 — those downstream in Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana evacuated prison-
ers and diverted water from the river in
anattempt tostave off catastrophic flood-
ing in a region prone to such disasters.
In Memphis, emergency officials
warned the river was still dangerous and
unpredictable, but they were confident
the levees would hold and there were no
plans for more evacuations. Sandbags
were put up in front of the 32-story tall
Pyramid Arena, but the former home of
college and professional basketball
teams was believed to be safe. Also out of
the way were Stax Records, which
launched the careers of Otis Redding and
the Staple Singers, and Sun Studio,
which helped make Elvis the king of rock
‘n’ roll.
Sun Studio still does some recording,
but Stax is nowa museumand tourist at-
traction. Graceland, which is several
miles south of downtown, was also
spared.
“I want to say this: Graceland is safe.
And we would charge hell with a water
pistol to keep it that way and I’d be will-
ing to lead the charge,” said Bob Nations
Jr., director of the Shelby County Emer-
gency Management Agency.
Authorities spent the weekend knock-
ing on doors to tell a couple hundred
more people that they should abandon
their homes before they are swamped by
waters. More than 300 people were stay-
ing in shelters, and officials said they had
stepped up patrols in evacuated areas to
prevent looting.
Aurelio Flores, 36, his pregnant wife
and their three children have been living
at a shelter for 11 days. His mobile home
hadabout 4feet of water whenhe last vis-
ited the trailer park Wednesday.
“I imagine that my trailer, if it’s not cov-
ered, it’s close,” said Flores, an out-of-
work construction worker. “If I think
about it too much, andget angry about it,
it will mean the end of me.”
Forecasters said it looks like the river
was starting to level out and could crest
at or near 48 feet, just shy of the 48.7-foot
mark set in 1937. The river already reac-
hed record levels in some areas up-
stream, thanks to heavy rains and snow-
melt.
In Louisiana, the corps partially
opened a spillway that diverts the Missis-
sippi into a lake to ease pressure on the
levee system in greater New Orleans.

clear how many survived, accord-
ing to the International Organiza-
tion for Migration.
At least three other boats that
left Libya inlate Marchhave disap-
peared, with hundreds feared
dead, Boldrini said.
The number of people fleeing
North Africa has soared since mid-
January, after Tunisia overthrew
its longtime dictator and set off a
series of uprisings in Egypt and Li-
bya. Some 25,000 people, mostly
Tunisians, have flooded Lampedu-
sa, whichisright off theNorthAfri-
can coast.
Since fighting began in Libya in
mid-February, the IOM estimates
that another10,000peoplehavere-

including almost 2,000 who ar-
rived on five boats last weekend.
Boldrini saidthe deaths anddis-
appearances among people trying
to cross the Mediterranean to flee
unrest and repressive regimes in
Africa is increasing as smugglers
begin to use bigger and less sea-
worthy boats.
“Most of the boats, if not all of
the boats, are unseaworthy,” said
IOM spokeswoman Jemini Pan-
dya. “Inaddition, theboats areway
overladen.”

TOKYO — A Japanese util-
ity agreed Monday to shutter
three nuclear reactors at a
coastal power plant while it
builds a seawall and improves
other tsunami defenses there.
Chubu Electric Power Co.
acted at a special board meet-
ing after Prime Minister Nao-
to Kan requested the tempo-
rary shutdown at the Hamao-
ka plant amid concerns an
earthquake magnitude 8.0 or
higher couldstrike the central
Japanese region sometime
within 30 years.
The government’s decision
came after evaluating Japan’s
54 reactors for quake and tsu-
nami vulnerability after the
March 11 disasters that crip-
pled the Fukushima Dai-ichi
nuclear plant in northeast Ja-
pan. The Hamaoka facility
sits above a major fault line
and has long been considered
Japan’s riskiest nuclear power
plant.
Chubu Electric President
Akihisa Mizuno described
Kan’s request, which was an-
nouncedonlive televisionFri-
day evening, as carrying im-
mense weight. His company’s
response reflects its commit-
ment to putting safety first,
Mizuno said.
The utility will shutter the
No. 4 and No. 5 reactors at the
plant, Mizunosaid. It will also
indefinitely delay a planned
resumption of the No. 3 reac-
tor, whichhas beenshut down
for regular maintenance since
late last year.
The plant’s non-operating
No. 1 and No. 2 reactors were
slated for decommission be-
fore the disaster.
About 79,800 people live
within a 6-mile radius of the
Hamaoka plant.
The operator of the Fukush-
ima nuclear plant, Tokyo
Electric Power Co., has said
the tsunami that wreckedcrit-
ical power and cooling sys-
tems there was at least 46 feet
high.
The March 11 quake and
tsunami left more than25,000
people dead or missing.

raised the issue at the opening
session of two days of high level
talks between the United States
and China. They noted the large
number of arrests that have oc-
curredinChina withthe govern-
ment detaining lawyers, activ-
ists, journalists and bloggers in
a crackdown widely viewed as a
Chinese response to forestall
any Middle East-style democra-
cy protests.
Biden said that President Ba-
rack Obama believed strongly
that protecting fundamental
rights and freedoms was "the
best way to promote the long-
term stability of any society."
State Counselor Dai Bingguo,
one of the leaders of the Chinese
delegation, said in his remarks
that China hadmade progress in
the area of human rights.
The remarks from Biden and
Clinton and Dai were made dur-
ing an opening ceremony of this
year’s U.S.-China Strategic and
Economic Dialogue.
The discussions were begun
in 2006 as a way to bring pres-
sure on China to allow its cur-
rency rise in value against the
dollar.
The Obama administration in
2009 expanded the talks to cov-
er foreign policy as well as eco-
nomic issues. This year for the
first time, top military leaders
from both nations are participa-
ting in an effort to ease tensions
between the two nations that
were heightened last year by
U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

A state House committee is
holding a hearing today on a bill
that would benefit the men and
womenof the military andNation-
al Guard.
House Bill 909, is in the Judici-
ary Committee this morning and
seeks to exempt deployed active
duty military personnel or Nation-
al Guardmembersfromthe60-day
marriagelicensevaliditytimeperi-
od.
SponsoredbyRep. AdamSmith,
R-Mifflintown, thebipartisanpiece
of legislation has local cosponsor-
ship from representatives. Phyllis
Mundy, D-Kingston, Eddie Day
Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre and Sid
Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor.
Itwouldamendasectionof Title
23 that permits marriage licenses
tobevalidfornomorethan60days
fromits date if issuance.
Thebillwouldaddlanguagespe-
cificallyaddressingactivedutymil-
itary or National Guard members.
The proposed language states:
“If an applicant is unable to satisfy
the60-daylicenserequirement un-
der this section due to his deploy-
ment for active military service,
the applicant shall be granted an
additional 60days followinghis re-
turn fromactive military service.”
Though rare, these types of cir-
cumstances have arisen.
Harris said a story from a con-
stituent led to this bill, which he
called a “commonsense, pro-mili-
tary and pro-family measure that
will cost theCommonwealthnoth-
ing.”
“If someone is serving their
country, weshouldoffer themalit-
tle flexibility,” he said.
Mundy said she can’t imagine
any holdups with the bill.
“It’s just an acknowledgement
that sometimes your plans are pre-
empted by duty,” Mundy said.
Kavulich, whoseownson-in-law
is in the military and serving over-
seas, said the bill has his support.
“These military people who are
giving up their time, the least we
candofor themis givethemanex-
tension of time,” he said.
Pashinski said he signed on as a
cosponsor because he’s “trying to
doanythingI canforthekidsgoing
over there.” He said he feels for
anyonewhopaidfor alicense, gets
called t o duty and then has to pay
for a new license. This bill would
avert that situation from happen-
ing.
Mundy is the primary sponsor
on another bill that will gets its
shot in front of another House
committee today.
Before the Local Government
Committee, Bill 231 would raise
funds for community-basededuca-
tion through an optional personal
income tax return allocation.
Mundy said the “checkoff bill”
would give people filing personal
income tax return the chance to
designatesomemoneytotheChil-
dren’s Trust Fund by checking a
box and filling in the amount.
Accordingtothatfund’swebsite,
“The Pennsylvania Children’s
Trust Fundis dedicatedtofunding
community-based child abuse and
neglect prevention programs.”
Local cosponsors of this bill in-
clude Kevin Murphy, D-Scranton,
Pashinski, and Ed Staback, D-
Sturges.
Mundy said the one hurdle her
bill has is that by adding any more
designated organizations to the
tax form “would require a second
page, but that would be costly.”

Wilfred Charles, 38, last-
known address as South Hunter
Highway, Butler Township,
pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
charge of simple assault before
Judge William Amesbury.

istic threats against Charles.
Butler Township police ac-
cused Charles of luring a 17-year-
old girl to his South Hunter

assaulted her on Nov. 22, 2009,
according to the complaint.
Amesbury sentenced Charles

WILKES-BARRE – A state
appellate court upheld the sen-
tence of an Exeter woman who
pleaded guilty to her role in a
2005 robbery that turned deadly.
Andrea Bidding, 39, appealed
her 20- to 40-year state prison
sentence imposed by Luzerne
County Judge Tina Polachek
Gartley in April 2009 after she
pleaded guilty to third-degree
murder and criminal conspiracy.
State police at Wyoming and
Edwardsville police alleged
Bidding, her husband, Anthony
Bidding, their daughter, Erika
Legg, and their niece, Gabrielle
Thomas conspired to rob 73-
year-old Peter Lach inside Lach’s
Edwardsville home on Oct. 22,
2005. Legg and Thomas were
both 16 at the time.
Bidding planned the robbery
that turned deadly when Antho-
ny Bidding and the two younger
women beat Lach, who died
from his injuries, according to
arrest records.
Bidding appealed her sen-
tence, claiming Gartley made
an error when imposing the
maximum sentence. Bidding
stated the judge did not in-
volve her confession to the
murder when she was ques-
tioned by investigators in an
unrelated case in May 2008.
The state Superior Court
denied Bidding’s appeal, up-
holding the sentence.
Anthony Bidding was sen-
tenced to 20 to 40 years in
state prison for third degree
murder and conspiracy. Legg
was sentenced to nine to 18
years in state prison. Thomas’
case was settled in county
juvenile court.

P
aul J. “Sonny” Paternoster, of Al-
ter Street, Hazleton, passed away
Saturday, May 7, 2011, at Fox Chase
Cancer Center, after a valiant battle
with cancer.
Born in Hazleton, he was the el-
dest childof the late Paul A. andIrene
Gundy Paternoster.
He recently turned 75 years young
in December.
Paul was preceded in death in Ja-
nuary by his wife of 56 years, Lillian
“LoLo” Paternoster.
He was the owner and president of
Case and Keg Beverage Inc., Hazle-
ton.
Paul is survived by his three
daughters, Mrs. Melanie Gibale and
her husband, Carl, Shavertown; Mrs.
Jody Novitsky and her husband,
Alan, NewProvidence, N.J.; and Pau-
la Paternoster, Hazleton; and grand-
daughter, Savannah Rea, Hazleton.
“Sonny,” as he has been known
since childhood, was revered, loved,
and respected by friends and family
alike.
He was fiercely devotedto the peo-
ple he loved and just as his wife,
fought endlessly and tirelessly for
causes he believedin. He felt strongly
about the rights of animals, andhada
sincere, continual desire to improve
life in the Greater Hazleton, and sur-
rounding areas.
He not only ran an extremely suc-
cessful business for generations, but
he also found the time and energy to
devote to a plethora of organizations
at the local, state, and national level.
Paul was a graduate of Hazleton
High School, class of 1953, and
served as president of the reunion
planning committee, for one of the
most successful class reunions,
whichwas heldin1983. “The WayWe
Were” was the theme, and was at-
tended by an unprecedented amount
of classmates.
“Peter Pan,” as he was nicknamed
in high school, was also notorious for
his legendary “after-party” gather-
ings, and hosted many with his wife,
at their home, much to the delight of
classmates and friends.
Paul was a proud, dedicated mem-
ber of the U.S. Army, and was never
afraid to wear his patriotism on his
sleeve, or defend his country both
verbally and through his everyday ac-
tions.
He servedthree years withthe U.S.
Army Medical Corps, stationed in
Korea, and Japan.
Through his military experience
andbeyond, he workedincessantlyto
satiate his quest for knowledge. His
work ethic was outstanding, and no
matter how daunting a task, he em-
bracedit withjoy de vivre, andenthu-
siasm.
In April 2004, Paul and his entire
family were presented a flag which
was flown over the Taliban’s Last
Stand Building in Kandahar, Afghan-
istan. This flag, which was flown in
remembrance of the Americans who
died in the terror attacks on Septem-
ber 11, 2001, had a very special mean-
ing to him.
The phrase “Let us never forget,
never waiver, for our cause is just, the
cause of freedom,” resonated deeply
in his heart and soul.
He began his Army career at
Brooke Medical Center, Fort Sam
Houston, where he graduated with a
diploma in medical technology, with
credits in surgery procedures, and
hospital operation (permanent and
field type facility).
His practiced internship took
place at the Madigan Army Hospital,
Tacoma, Wash.
He also received credits in ad-
vanced bookkeeping, and the oper-
ations of office equipment, and pub-
lic relations, at the United States Ar-
my School of Business, Tokyo, Japan,
in 1954 and 1955.
Paul also graduated fromthe Unit-
ed States Naval/City of Philadelphia
Fire School, Philadelphia, Pa., where
he specialized in chemical and oil-
type fires, along with additional sur-
vival training in 1956.
Prior to receiving his Honorable
Discharge from the Army in Septem-
ber 1956, he served in the following
areas: United Nations Forces, United
States Eighth Army, 44th and 45th
Field Hospitals, 552nd Ambulance
Co. in Korea, Tokyo Army Hospitals,
Tokyo, Japan and Madigan, and Val-
ley Forge Army Hospitals, in the
United States.
He received the National Defense
Medal, Korean Service Medal, Ko-
rean Unit Citation Medal, United Na-
tions Service Medal, Good Conduct
Medal, and Letter of Commendation
from Commanding General of Valley
Forge Army Hospital.
He received a diploma in architec-
tural and mechanical design from
Lindsay Hopkins Education Center,
Miami, Fla., in July 1959.
He received a Certificate in elec-
tronics fromthe Hazleton Area Voca-
tional-Technical School, Hazleton, in
March of 1970.
Paul was also a graduate of the
Dale Carnegie Leadership Training
Institute, Hazleton.
He attended annual Planning and
Zoning Seminars at Penn State Uni-
versity, Hazleton Campus, and semi-
nars/workshops on business at satel-
lite locations of the University of
Pennsylvania.
He completed a course in commu-
nity planning conducted by the Mu-
nicipal Training Division of the Penn-
sylvania Planning Commission.
Paul always considered himself a
lifelong learner, and that quest for
knowledge extended to his family
pets as well.
He was an active participant in
“Puppy Colleges” and was never too
busy to assist financially and physi-
cally with fund raising events for lo-
cal, state, and national animal rights
organizations.
Paul enjoyed the study of and par-
ticipation in politics. Since 1960, he
was actively involved in the John F.
Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson and
Hubert Humphrey committees for
President.
He was involved in the senatorial
campaigns for Martin Murray, Harris
Wofford, Senator Clark, Dan Flood,
and Raphael Musto.
He assisted with the Paul Kanjor-
ski and Frank Harrison for Congress
Campaign Committees. And was ac-
tive in the Bob Casey campaign for
both Auditor and Governor, and the
Governor Milton Shapp Campaign,
where he served as the Hazle Town-
ship Chairman.
Having many attorneys and judges
as friends, he was a member of the
Ann Lokuta and Joe Yeager for Judge
Committees, and was currently sup-
porting Lesa Gelb for Judge.
He also assisted with the Todd Ea-
chus for Representative Committee,
Niperkowski for Sheriff Committee,
where he served as the local chair-
man, and the Rose Tucker for Com-
missioner Committee.
He was also the Democratic Com-
mitteeman for Hazle Township for 12
years.
Paul personally ran for State Rep-
resentative in 1980, when he lost to
the incumbent. With his usual quiet
grace and dignity, and aplomb after
the defeat, he recited one of his fam-
ily mantras to his family – and we are
giving you the G-rated version –
“Don’t let themget youdown, youget
right back up.”
In 1986, he served at the general
chairman of the Greater Hazleton Ar-
ea for the Holtzman for Congress
Campaign. He also served as District
Campaign Chairman for the Michael
Dukakis for President Campaign, as-
sisted with both the Marc Singel for
Senator and Governor Campaigns as
well.
He attended a briefing at the
White House in Washington, D.C.,
with President Ronald Reagan, and
found that experience both informa-
tive and enlightening.
Paul of course assisted with his
wife, Lillian’s, bid as an Independent
Candidate for Luzerne County Regis-
ter of Wills.
Other government involvement in-
cluded being a member of the Hazle-
ton Area School Authority for 17
years, and was chairman for 13 of
those17 years, and during his tenure,
due to careful planning and research
of viable strategies, he was able to
save the taxpayers of Hazle Township
millions of dollars.
He was also planning director of
Hazle TownshipZoningCommission
for 8 years, secretary and treasurer
for the Luzerne County Redevelop-
ment Authority from 1992 to 2006,
and was secretary/treasurer for the
Luzerne CountyRail Corp. from1994
to 2006.
He was then appointed chairman
of the Redevelopment Authority of
Luzerne County in February 2006 to
present, chairman of the Luzerne
County Rail Corp., chairman of the
Luzerne County Public Asset Man-
agement, and chairman of Creative
Developers.
Although his determination re-
garding community improvement
was incessant, it was not all-consum-
ing. Paul loved to have fun, and spent
many years travelingtoManhattanto
conduct business with the invest-
ment firm of L.F. Rothschild, and
then take on the Great White Way to
enjoy a multitude of Broadway pro-
ductions with family and friends.
He also enjoyed attending Come-
dy Clubs, and exploring new restau-
rants in New York City, especially
steakhouses. He certainly took his
bite out of the Big Apple.
Paul was an avid hunter, and de-
lighted in both the solace and cama-
raderie that came from hunting ex-
cursions with friends and family.
He taught his three daughters to
respect the power of firearms, and
embrace what they represent.
Paul never met a Clint Eastwood
movie he did not like, and when his
family tested his mettle, as only
daughters and his wife could, he
could always be heard saying, “Go
ahead. Make my day!”
The community showed their love
and respect for Paul by awarding him
for his participationinthe manyorga-
nizations he was involved with. He
received the following accolades:
Certificate of Appreciation from the
AmericanRedCross for his service to
military families, 1991; United Way

traordinary Campaign, 1990; certifi-
cates of Appreciation from the Unit-

He andhis wife alsoreceivedmany
commendations from the Pennsylva-
nia House of Representatives, Senate
of Pennsylvania, and the Pennsylva-
nia Department of Health, for their
diligent work in combating underage
drinking.
Fondly referred to by his family as
“quiet ham,” he could be heard per-
forming on various radio shows in-
cluding his daughters show on
WQEWRadio, and loved to filmtele-
vision commercials for Case and Keg
Beverage, or to be interviewed from
both television and news or newspa-
per reporters. He was never afraid to
be honest and blunt.
He was a model for several fashion
shows including a fundraiser for the
Soroptomist International of Hazle-
ton.
His love of sports had a wonderful
effect on his business where he host-
ed many events and promotions.
Along with his wife, LoLo, Paul
helped build an extremely successful
business from a dying concern.
He had a pulse on human wants
and needs that was unrivaled. Paul
had a penchant for gambling, and
spent many hours in Las Vegas, and
Atlantic City.
Paul’s Super Bowl parties andfoot-
ball pools were legendary and excit-
ing.
He thoroughly enjoyed attending
Indy Car Races and often felt the
“need for speed.”
Paul’s greatest pleasurewas spend-
ing time with his family and friends,
andthat includes his four-leggedfam-
ily.
Just like his wife, he had a special
empathy and deep bond and under-
standing with animals.
In lieu of floral arrangements, the
family has requested donations be
made to the Humane Society of the
United States, and the Association
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani-
mals.
Along with these organizations,
donations to the American Cancer
Society, and the Hazleton Area Pub-
lic Library would be most appreciat-
ed.
Paul would want to be remem-
bered for his love of life, appreciation
of God and country, his infectious
laugh and smile, and his ability to
help people.
Toquote a friendof his, “He was an
honorable, pleasant man who was al-
ways concerned about other people.”
If he were reading this now, he
would say, “Do not be sad. I am with
the love of my life, LoLo, and my
hope is that I leave a fighting spirit,
positive impact, and beautiful legacy
for the world. Be strong, be happy,
and enjoy life and family.”
The funeral will be held at 11
a.m. Saturday fromthe Frank J.
Bonin Funeral Home Inc., 542-544 N.
Wyoming Street, Hazleton. Intern-
ment will be held at the convenience
of the family. Friends and relatives
may call from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday eve-
ning.

WILKES-BARRE-- Bob Kadlu-
boski called a press conference
Monday at Wilkes-Barre City
Hall and invited all six mayoral
candidates, the two controller
candidates and all 21council can-
didates.
Only Kadluboski showed up to
announce he wants council to en-
act a salary ordinance that would
significantly reduce elected offi-
cials’ salaries.
TheordinanceproposedbyKa-
dluboski would eliminate a pen-
sion to part-time employees. The
tow truck operator, who usually
attends council meetings and
speaks out against city policies –
he has been escorted from meet-
ings – said that taxpayers can no
longer afford what he termed
“these pricey sums” for elected
officials.
Kadluboski, who decided not
to run for mayor despite securing
the more than 200 signatures
necessary on nominating pet-
itions, said if no candidate sup-
ports himonthe issue, he will get
in the race for mayor.
“If no candidate for mayor sup-
ports this, then I will run as an In-
dependent candidate for the of-
fice of mayor,” Kadluboski pro-
claimed.
The owner of City Wide Tow-
ing said he sent each city candi-
date a certified letter and he said
all 28 receipts were returned. He
said his goal was to get all the
candidates to attend Thursday’s
council meeting.
“They’ve all been notified,” he
said. “Let’s see who shows up
Thursday night.”
Kadluboski is asking all city
candidates to repeal the salaries
and benefits of council.
“Nolonger canthe taxpayers of
this once great and vibrant city
shoulder the exorbitant salaries
of its mayor, council members or
controller,” he said. “Today, I am
askingevery candidate for city of-
fices toattendThursday’s council
meeting and I am asking that
they join the effort of the citizens
of Wilkes-Barre to bring sanity
back to city government.”
Kadluboski saidthe retirement
benefits for former council mem-
bers and mayors cost the city
hundreds of thousands of dollars
per year. He said the candidates
in the May 17 primaries need to
come forward and either support
himor state why they oppose his
proposal for an ordinance.
S. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER
Bob Kadluboski said Monday he’ll run for Wilkes-Barre mayor as
an Independent if no current candidate backs his salary edict.

A judge has been asked to con-
sider a court ruling that vacated
the conviction of a former Ten-
nessee state senator when decid-
ing if former Luzerne County
Judge Mark Ciavarella’s convic-
tion on honest services wire
fraud should be overturned.
Attorney William Ruzzo on
Monday wrote to U.S. District
Judge Edwin Kosik, asking him
to consider a ruling made by the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in
the case of Sen. John Ford, who
was convicted of honest services
fraud for failing to disclose his in-
terest in a medical firm that did
business with the state’s Medi-
caid fund.
The Sixth Circuit in April over-
turned Ford’s conviction based
onthe U.S. Supreme Court ruling
issued last June in the case of for-
mer Enron executive Jeffrey
Skilling.
The high court’s ruling de-
claredthe honest services statute
applied only in cases in which a
defendant accepted a bribe or a
kickback. It didnot apply incases
inwhicha defendant failedtodis-
close a conflict of interest.
In Ford’s case, the government
conceded the honest services
conviction should be vacated
based on the Skilling decision be-
cause Ford’s actions constituted
failure to disclose a conflict of in-
terest.
Ciavarella was convicted in
February of 12
counts, includ-
ing racketeer-
ing, money
laundering and
honest services
mail fraud.
The honest
service charges
related to his filing of financial
statements of interest with a
state agency that failed to dis-
close his receipt of nearly $1 mil-
lion from real estate developer
Robert Mericle.
Ruzzo contends the Ford rul-
ing is pertinent to Ciavarella’s
case as Ciavarella maintains his
conduct did not relate to accept-
ance of a bribe or kickback.
The issue is among several
Ruzzo and his co-counsel, Al Flo-
ra, raised in post-trial motions fil-
ed on March 25. The appeal did
not mentiontheForddecisionbe-
cause it was not issueduntil April
14.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office,
aware that Ciavarella would be
citing the Ford case, sought per-
mission to file a legal brief in re-
sponse. Kosik on Monday grant-
ed that motion. He will rule on
the issue after receipt of that
brief.

D
iane O’Neil, front

O’Neil, front right,
of Shavertown, and Debby
and Ed Barth, of Plains
Township, root for their
favorite horses during the
25th Annual Wilkes-Barre
Family YMCA’s Night at

night inside Pacers Club-
house Restaurant at the
Mohegan Sun at Pocono
Downs. All proceeds from
Monday’s event in Plains
Township benefit the chil-

Family YMCA.
Morresi said he contacted
the U.S. Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement to get Tlal-
mis-Perez detained, but the
agency told him four hours lat-
er to cite and release the illegal
immigrant. Tlalmis-Perez was
fined $162.50 for speeding and
$250 for driving without a li-
cense.
The owner of the vehicle, Ed-
gardo Laureano-Molina, was al-
so cited about $300 for permit-
ting an illegal immigrant to
drive his vehicle, Morresi said.
“I wasn’t surprised. It’s hap-
pened several times,” Morresi
said of the federal government’s
decision to release an illegal im-
migrant.
Toohil and Heffley said the
man’s possession of two AC-
CESS cards indicated the possi-
bility of welfare fraud – a prob-
lem they’re attempting to tack-
le through proposed new legis-
lation.
The state House of Represen-
tatives has passed legislation
sponsored by Toohil aiming to
strengthen penalties for those
convicted of more than $1,000
worth of welfare fraud by in-
creasing the offense to a third-
degree felony.
The legislation also will en-
sure ACCESS cards are covered
in existing welfare fraud laws.
These debit cards are issued to
Medical Assistance recipients
to obtain cash or food-stamp
benefits, according to the state.
The bill, which has been sent
to the state Senate, would have
no impact on anyone lawfully
receiving benefits in the state,
Toohil stressed.
Illegal immigrants have been
blamed for straining local re-
sources and contributing to vio-
lent crime in the Hazleton area.
An expert on immigration esti-
mated several years ago that be-
tween 1,500 and 3,400 illegal
immigrants live in Hazleton.
Heffley said the cards are be-
ing used across the state to pur-
chase illegal drugs. Roughly 1.7
million people in the state have
some form of an ACCESS card,
and the state has replaced
149,595 cards reported as lost
or stolen since January, he said.
Of those, 8,099 cards have been
replaced at least 20 times each
since January, he said.

J
oan Zawoiski Lewis, a children’s
storyteller whose battle with
pancreatic cancer sparked good
deeds on all seven continents, died
Saturday, May 7, 2011, at her daugh-
ter Jocelyn’s home in Charlottes-
ville, Va..
BorninPringle, Joanwas a proud
graduate of St. Hedwig’s Elemen-
tary School. She cheered at Pringle
High, and graduated from Larks-
ville High School at 16.
A great reader, Joan was known
as “Kid Dictionary.” She graduated
from Wilkes College with a degree
in education, and taught at schools
in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Connecticut, including St. John the
Evangelist School, Pittston.
She and her husband, Attorney
Michael J. Lewis Jr., raised their
family on Park Place, Kingston.
Joan was deeply engaged in poli-
tics, and the community, including
the League of Women Voters, the
Democratic Women’s Committee,
the PTA, the Park Place Associ-
ation, Lawyers Wives, and Literacy
Volunteers.
In 1980 Joan moved to Connecti-
cut, and began a career as a chil-
dren’s storyteller. She was re-
nowned for her children’s story
hours, especially her babies pro-
grams, with their emphasis on edu-
cating new mothers.
Joanfirmlybelievedthat mothers
should speak to their children as
though they were adults, and read
to them from birth.
Joan worked at both the Walling-
ford and Meriden Libraries.
Upon her retirement, she moved
to Charlottesville, Va., in 2008 to
care for her newborn grandson,
Owen Michael Paulson.
Joan was diagnosed with end-
stage pancreatic cancer in Septem-
ber 2009, and was expected to die
within weeks. Instead, she survived
20 months, and sparked good deeds
across the world.
When she became ill, Joan asked
that, rather than a fuss be made
about her, folk perform “good
deeds” in her honor, and then tell
her about them. Good deeds in hon-
or of “Joannie from Pringle” have
been documented in all 50 states,
and on all seven continents, includ-
ing Antarctica, by the family of fa-
mous mountaineer Sir Edmund
Hillary.
Joan crossed many items off her
“bucket list” and lived to add new
ones, including a ride in a hot air
balloon, a trip to New York City, to
stay at her beloved Waldorf Hotel,
and visit the set of the television
show“The View,” and watching her
grandsonLeoColtrane Kivell rowat
St. Joseph’s Prep.
Most famously, this past March,
she traveled to Philadelphia, Pa., to
watch the UCONN Women’s Bas-
ketball teamplay inthe NCAATour-
nament.
When the team heard of this last
wish, they invited her to a private
teampractice. After they beat Duke,
Coach Gene Auriemma credited
their win to Joan’s pep talk to the
team. There was extensive news
coverage of this final trip, and she
has been the topic of inspirational
speeches and Sunday sermons in
churches from Bedford, N.Y., to
Gladwyne, Pa.
Joan maintained a lifelong inter-
est in literacy, sports, and world
events until her death.
She was commenting actively on
the political situation in Afghanis-
tan three days before her death.
Joan was an extraordinarily gen-
erous person, with a deep love of
family, and a prodigious gift for
friendship.
She was den mother to her own
and her children’s extended net-
work of friends, her home being
“party central” for dinner parties,
and annual costume parties in King-
ston, Connecticut, and Philadel-
phia.
Joan was an exceptionally hardy
spirit who did not let adversity get
her down. When her leg was shat-
tered in an accident shortly before
her 60th birthday, she told dubious
doctors she would dance the polka
at her party – and she did.
She showed the same undaunted
spirit after becoming ill with cancer
two years ago.
She provided child care for her
youngest two grandchildren, but al-
somakingsure tofulfill as manylife-
long dreams as possible, including
the chance to meet her favorite
team – the UCONN Women’s Bas-
ketball team– andwatchthemprac-
tice.
Her facility for friendship lasted
until the end, and is reflected in her
website on the Caring Bridge that
kept friends and family connected
during her brave but characteristi-
cally upbeat battle with cancer.
The site, www.Caring-
bridge.org/visit/joanniefromprin-
gle, has received more than 25,000
hits, or visits.
She spent her last year helping to
care for her youngest grandchil-
dren. The youngest, Amy Elizabeth,
was born five months after Joan be-
came ill. Joan was determined to
survive until the baby was born and
lived long enough to teach her to
walk.
She is survived by a large and lov-
ing family, her five children, and
their spouses, six grandchildren,
her sister, an extended family of
nieces, nephews and cousins, as
well as many devoted friends.
She was preceded in death by her
parents, JohnandEva Zawoiski; her
sister Evelyn Chukinas; and her
brother, John “Jack” Zawoiski.
Joan is survived by her five chil-
dren, Dr. Michael J. Lewis (Susan
Glassman), Judy Lewis (Tim Che-
ney), Jacqueline Lewis, Esq. (Shel-
don Kivell), Jane Lewis Lamb, Esq.
(Peter Lamb), and Jocelyn Lewis
(Dr. Scott Paulson); six grandchil-
dren, Kate, Colin, andNora Cheney;
Leo Coltrane Kivell; and Owen and
Amy Paulson; her sister Dolores
Kosisher; and numerous nieces, ne-
phews and cousins.
She will be greatly missed by all.
A Mss of Christian Burial will
be held at 10 a.m. Wednesday in St.
Ignatius Church, 399 Maple Ave-
nue, Kingston. Friends may call
from 5 to 8 p.m. today at the A.J.
Kopicki Funeral Home, Zerbey Ave-
nue, Kingston. Interment will be in
St. Hedwig’s Cemetery, Larksville.
In lieu of flowers, donations may
be made to the Joan Z. Lewis Fund,
Wallingford Public Library, 200 N.
Main St., Wallingford, CT, or any-
where else it might do some good.
Good deeds may also be posted

George garners support
for W-B council position
D
owntown Wilkes-Barre has made great
strides in the past few years, and now
we need to direct some of that energy
to the neighborhoods. This is why I sup-
port Tony George for City Council District
B.
As a longtime city resident, Mr. George
has spent much of his life working on
keeping it a safe place to live. As the for-
mer police chief, Mr. George worked tire-
lessly with the residents of this city as well
as the city government to come up with
creative and effective ways to fight crime.
He was instrumental in reviving the
Wilkes-Barre Crime Watch and empowered
ordinary citizens to get involved in keeping
our neighborhoods safe.
I believe Tony George is the best man to
serve on city council.

Commissioner should not
get seat on county council
T
he Times Leader’s endorsement of
Stephen A. Urban for a seat on the new
Luzerne County Council leads one to
wonder if someone slipped something into
the water coolers at the newspaper office.
Mr. Urban will forever wear the taint of the
county government that we have voted to
replace by voting for home rule, as he is
one of the current commissioners.
Now let’s look at his record. This is the
politician who pushed for leasing Moon
Lake Park to the gas drilling companies,
then wanted to let these drillers pump
water out of the park’s pristine lake so they
could frack their wells. Only opposition
from county residents prevented Moon
Lake Park, one of the most beautiful areas
of Luzerne County, from being turned into
an industrial brownfield.
He also was instrumental in closing a lot
of the amenities at Moon Lake Park and,
with his fellow commissioners, laid off the
park’s staff. The result: The buildings of
the nature center and the swimming pool
area have been ruined by vandals and
copper thieves.
Time to make a clean sweep.

Risky bin Laden plan
merits photo publication
A
m I missing something? U.S. intelli-
gence locates Osama bin Laden. After
much pondering by the White House,
obliteration by a bomb was nixed because
we would not be able to prove to the world
that bin Laden had been killed.
So, to be certain that we could demon-
strate bin Laden’s demise, the White
House decided to put the lives of many
U.S. Navy SEALs – very brave men – at
risk in a very dangerous invasion of Pakis-
tani territory to assassinate bin Laden.
Now the same White House will not dis-
play the photo of bin Laden’s dead body
because some group or groups might be
offended.
Shouldn’t that have been considered
before putting lives at risk?

Leighton deserves credit
for improvements in city
A
sk yourself this: Why are there so
many critics in the city of Wilkes-
Barre? It is so easy to find fault in the
things that surround us: streets with pot-
holes, dilapidated rental houses or an
increase in crime. But have you ever
thought: I should step up and do some-
thing about it?
Well, thankfully, Tom Leighton has. He
has paved more than 160 streets, put a
program in place to deal with absentee
landlords to fix dilapidated houses and
hired about 29 new police officers since he
first took office in 2004.
No one is perfect; but our current mayor,
Tom Leighton, is trying to make our city
the best community it can be.

Writer questions process
used to fill NW board seat
Y
ou don’t know what you don’t know.
Have you ever heard that before?
Evidently, the majority of my fellow
school directors in Northwest Area School
District haven’t. Or, perhaps they have, but
ignore it.
It has become more prevalent in meet-
ing after meeting that this board is content
with what’s right in front of its nose and
doesn’t care to put forth an effort to re-
search anything. Recently, this board was
faced with filling a seat vacated by a resig-
nation. For at least a dozen years, this
board has followed the same process: ad-
vertise for applicants, review applicants,
host public interviews and appoint the
replacement. Both current board member
Daryl Morgan and former board member
Kelly Jenkins were seated through this
process.
The part of this procedure that is invalu-
able is the public interviews. However, this
board refused to hold public interviews. In
fact, the entire process was so hurried it
left many people, including myself, suspect
of the appointment.
Here’s how it went: Advertised on Friday
and Saturday, deadline for applicants was
Monday, board members saw application
letters Wednesday at approximately 6:30
and the vote was cast at approximately
7:30.
And, the vote was cast to appoint a for-
mer board member who served on the
board with several current members.
Mr. Randy Tomasacci might very well be
the best candidate who applied, but we’ll
never know because we were not given the
chance to interview him or the others.
Board members, as well as Mr. Tomasacci,
all asked if he could take a seat at the
board table immediately. His nameplate
was even pulled out from where it sat
waiting atop a bookshelf in the boardroom.
The law is clear. The board gets to ap-
point the interim director. However, this
board’s refusal to explore all its options
and choose the best one certainly is ques-
tionable.
This is just the most recent example, but
the problem is endemic of this board. We
are public servants and owe the public
more than this.

Reader says Cronauer
would be good magistrate
I
am writing to express my opinion about
the upcoming magisterial race. The
candidate of my choice is Rick Cronauer,
a lifelong resident of Wilkes-Barre.
He is currently a council member for
District A. Along with satisfying the daily
responsibilities of a councilman, he also
created the District A Fund. The fund was
created to use tax-deductible donations to
improve city-owned recreational facilities
and enhance the security level for the
residents. His successful idea was to get
residents involved in local business, and
local business involved in the community –
with the basic understanding that tax
revenue alone cannot maintain our facil-
ities and provide the residents with the
level of security they deserve.
Some accomplishments of the fund are
security lighting in Miner and Lafayette
parks, various improvements to Christian
Field and the South W-B Little League
field, and construction of four dugouts at
the Wilkes-Barre girls softball field. This
fund has generated more than $70,000 of
improvements.
Recently endorsed by the Fraternal Or-
der of Police, he always emphasizes “safety
in the neighborhoods, schools and homes
for our children,” and giving “our children
the opportunity to prosper in this place we
call home.”
I know Rick very well; he is not politi-
cally motivated. He is truly passionate
about his family, friends and home. He has
chosen to stand up and fight for us. In
turn, I will vote for him.
Democratic and Republican voters,
choose No. 1 on your ballot for Magisterial
District Judge 11-1-01.

T
HE AMERICAN mis-
sion in Afghanistan
changed last week
with two quick shots
from a Navy SEAL.
The calls for reflection on
the nature of the war on terror
with the death of Osama bin
Laden have merit. Al-Qaida
and its leader were the reasons
behind 100,000 U.S. troops fac-
ing daily dangers.
In a world without bin La-
den, the terror war
could be as legiti-
mately staged in So-
malia, Yemen or
Iran.
This isn’t to say
the United States
should pull out of
the central Asian na-
tion this summer. There is still
the threat that – just as in the
1990s – the Taliban could take
control and offer a safe harbor
for those planning attacks
against us.
But the death of bin Laden
does call for a full reviewof the
mission.
First consider the numbers:
After dipping to a post-9/11
low of $14.5 billion a year in
2004, the Obama administra-
tion’s Afghan surge has
pumped the annual costs up to
$94 billion in 2010 and $119.5
billion this year.
Budget is not the only, or pri-
mary, concern regarding inter-
national terrorism. But at a
time when the nation has been
forced to trim needed services
costing a fraction of maintain-
ing a massive force in Afghan-
istan, money is a considera-
tion.
Beyond that, consider the
strategy: The Obama plan all
along has been to turn Afghan
security over to Afghans.
That’s been difficult to imagine
because the Taliban maintain
influence in much
of the nation, es-
pecially in remote
areas.
But the threat
of the Taliban is
not a direct threat
to the United
States. The Tali-
ban are a threat because in the
past they have sheltered others
seeking to harm us. With al-
Qaida scatteredandonthe run,
and its leader and primary
means of fundraising dead, a
continued battle with the Tali-
ban means putting our sons
and daughters at risk to stop a
future threat from developing.
There are better uses of our
troops and cash.
American troops were al-
ways moving towardthe role of
advice and training, and the
timetable for this should be ac-
celerated.

J
UST BECAUSE IT’S le-
gal for Pennsylvania
lawmakers to take gifts
from special interests,
business owners and other
powerbrokers doesn’t make it
good public policy.
In fact, it ought to be against
the law for elected officials to
accept anything of substantial
value, if there’s not an outright
ban on all gift-giving.
The latest filings on gifts ac-
cepted by state officials, in-
cludingformer Gov. EdwardG.
Rendell, provide a window on
just how lavish donors can be
in bestowing favors.
Officials reported accepting
trips to faraway places – China,
India and Ireland – Super Bowl
jaunts, tickets to galas and
meals.
Senate Majority Leader Do-
minic Pileggi, R-Delaware
County, went to Dublin at the
expense of a Massachusetts
nonprofit. The Eagles paid for
state Rep. Dwight Evans, D-
Philadelphia, to attend a play-
off game in Dallas. Rendell
took a private plane ride val-
uedat $11,000tospeakat anIo-
wa Democratic Committee
dinner.
Under the rules, officials
have to report anything worth
more than $250, and travel and
hospitality valuedat more than
$650. But they can still accept
these gifts.
Lawmakers often defend the
state’s lax rules by saying it’s
OK because they have to dis-
close what they’ve received.
But with only an annual-filing
requirement, there is no way
for the public tokeeptabs inre-
al time on the favors being lav-
ished on elected officials.
The pro forma denials that
overseas junkets, hard-to-get
tickets to sporting events and
expensive meals have any im-
pact on policy decisions “fuels
more cynicismbecause there is
no objective way for the public
toverify” the claims, notes Phi-
ladelphiaBoardof Ethics direc-
tor J. Shane Creamer Jr.
The unusual access to elect-
ed officials afforded many do-
nors shouldbe enoughof a con-
cern to ban the practice.

McGinley, Evans
backed for council
I
completely understand the
issue we all are having with
choosing our nominees for
Luzerne County Council. I
would like to offer my recom-
mendations.
Please consider Tim McGin-
ley and Casey Evans.
I have known Tim, my un-
cle, for 23 years, and I consid-
er him one of the most in-
telligent men I know. If elect-
ed, he would bring a much-
needed intellect to our county
government. His previous
work experience and educa-
tion should be considered
invaluable to the electorate.
He is the choice with which
you should feel comfortable
when you tuck your children
in at night.
Casey Evans is also an hon-
orable gentleman. I have had
the distinguished pleasure of
working with Casey on several
political campaigns and many
more events, and I am com-
fortable in saying that he is
one of the best and brightest
political minds of my gener-
ation. A vote for Evans is a
vote for the future of the
Wyoming Valley. He has our
true values at heart and will
fight for them as hard as he
can.
Both Tim and Casey are
true and honorable Pennsylva-
nians, and they have earned
my vote for Luzerne County
Council – and, I hope, yours.

Evans says he’ll
freshen government
L
uzerne County is at a
crossroads.
We are on the cusp of
electing a new government.
Either we can stay with the
same old names and same old
faces, or we can elect thought-
ful people who will bring to
this job a fresh new point of
view. I hope to be one of them.
If you are opposed to nat-
ural gas drilling and want to
hold the gas industry account-
able for its actions, I am your
candidate for county council:
My plan will require land
development plans for each
fracking site that must include
emergency plans in case of a
blowout. I will never vote to
surrender any more county
land or county property to the
natural gas companies.
If you believe in account-
ability and empowering the
taxpayers, I am your candidate
for county council: I will work
to authorize and create a web-
site that will track every coun-
ty transaction of more than
$25 and post it on the Internet
for every citizen to see exactly
where the money goes.
If you believe in fiscal over-
sight, I am your candidate for
county council: My plan
would follow the example of
our neighbors in Columbia
County and require purchase
orders for every transaction of
more than $50.
I am a lifelong Luzerne
County resident, and I am
endorsed by EqualityPA, the
only statewide organization
dedicated to achieving equal
rights for all Pennsylvanians. I
am running to build a home
rule government that works
for everyone; and if you stand
for me for just one day on May
17, I will stand for you every
day of this campaign and
every day at the Luzerne
County Courthouse.
For more information on my
candidacy, please visit my
website at www.CaseyEvan-
s.org. I humbly ask for your
vote in the Democratic pri-
mary.

Lehman Township
Resident is happy
to call W-B home
B
eing a young adult in my
mid-20s, I remember, just
a short time ago, when
there was nothing to do in the
city of Wilkes-Barre.
I hear the mayor being
criticized for focusing only on
the downtown. I felt the need
to write to stress my belief in
giving young people a positive
place to spend some quality
time. In the last few years,
there were two playgrounds
built within walking distance
from my home, plus the addi-
tion of a beautiful riverfront
park, bookstores, coffee shops
and many new restaurants.
Thank you, Mayor Tom
Leighton, for giving my gener-
ation a reason to stay in
Wilkes-Barre to raise our chil-
dren and for a positive com-
munity that I am proud to call
home.

Argo defends votes
on police hirings
I
n a recent political ad, the
Committee to Elect
McLean-Alfano makes an
allegation that I “consistently
vote against hiring police.”
Please allow me to set the
record straight.
The voters of Pittston
should know that since 2006 I
have never voted against hir-
ing police. At every council
meeting I have voted in favor
of a resolution for the appoint-
ment of temporary police
officers, on a month-to-month
basis, to protect the residents
of our town.
Furthermore, I voted to hire
two full-time officers at a
council meeting that was held
in September 2009, under
Mayor Donna McFadden
Connors’ tenure.
Other accusations have
been made by the same peo-
ple, but those are so ridiculous
that they do not warrant a
response, except to say that I
am proud to sing the national
anthem at ceremonies con-
ducted by veterans’ orga-
nizations in our town, which I
graciously have done for the
past five years.

Candidate for city council

Schiowitz will help
on W-B Area board
I
took the time and expense
to petition the Luzerne
County courts to select a
replacement for the Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board.
The objective was to take it
out of the hands of a board
that apparently cannot make a
decision that is not politically
motivated. The first attempt
by the board was to appoint a
former board member; then
six board members sent a
letter to Judge Thomas Burke
requesting that they appoint
another former board mem-
ber. Bottom line: They want
more of the same, no new
ideas.
I had faith that under the
direction of Judge Burke the
best candidate would be cho-
sen. My investment paid off,
as some very qualified people
applied and the best candidate
was selected.
Dr. Mark Schiowitz is not
an educator but has educator
experience at the college level.
He has attempted to provide
input in the past to help this
district.
I am a retired educator who
had a lot to offer, but I am an
educator. Had I been selected
by the court, one-third of the
board would have been retired
administrators. This board
needs independent thinkers
who can instill new ideas.
They now have what they
need.
Dr. Schiowitz will be one of
nine members with only a
handful of months to serve. I
have reported to boards for 17
years and have observed just
what board members can
accomplish when they are the
caliber of Dr. Schiowitz.
In only a few hours follow-
ing his court appointment, he
contacted me and compli-
mented me on my efforts,
education and experience.
Now that is a professional. In
10 years of writing to the su-
perintendent and board mem-
bers, two have replied.
Is it any wonder why the
taxpayers seem to have no
respect for this board? A news
article stated “this board faces
epic crises of public confi-
dence.”
The first challenge has to be
the restoration of confidence,
because without it nothing
will improve in this district.
Perhaps I should be thanking
the doctor for his victory.

Taxpayers Forum
backs ‘GNA Five’
O
n May 17, five school
board positions in the
Greater Nanticoke Area
district will be up for election.
The GNA Taxpayers Forum is
supporting the election of “the
GNA Five.” Their record on
behalf of the taxpayers over
the years has earned them our
support.
The GNA Five team con-
sists of Kenny James, Tony
Prushinski, Ryan Verazin,
Frank Shepanski Jr. and Ja-
nine Floryshak.
Their opponents, Dave
Hornlein and Chet Beggs Jr.,
have raised a red flag for the
Taxpayers Forum because of
their supporters: Bob Bertoni
and Barbara Zaborney, their
campaign manager.
To refresh voters’ memories,
Zaborney is a retired GNA
school teacher and former
president of the teachers
union. Zaborney was a real
hardliner in contract negotia-
tions.
When Bertoni was a school
director and chief negotiator
for the board in contract nego-
tiations with the teachers
union, the teachers were given
a real sweetheart contract
with increases of 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5
and 8 percent over a five-year
contract. This was a real back-
breaker for the taxpayers,
resulting in huge tax increases
and near bankruptcy of the
district.
Support the GNA Five.
They have supported us by
keeping control of spending
and holding down tax in-
creases.

promise a solution
W
e are entering a very
challenging period in
Luzerne County. Due to
its financial difficulties, in
2004 the county entered into
the commonwealth’s Early
Intervention Program for local
governments. After this action
was taken, the county bor-
rowed money every year from
2004 through 2009.
From 2006 through 2009,
the county borrowed $67
million, enacted a countywide
property reassessment and in
2009 raised taxes 10 percent
while eliminating 138 jobs.
The county’s debt is approxi-
mately $450 million, which is
nearly four times its total
annual revenue. The debt
service in the 2011 budget is
$21.8 million out of a $125
million budget.
The members of the first
Luzerne County Council must
be people who will take the
time to study the budget and
be willing to make tough
decisions. The members
should be people who will do
what is in the best interest of
the county taxpayers.
One of the first decisions
will be the appointment of a
county manager who has
responsibilities comparable to
those of the CEO of a large
company. This person must be
a professional.
We make the following
pledges to the taxpayers of
Luzerne County:
1. We will spend whatever
time is necessary to be able to
make informed decisions.
2. We will object when gov-
ernment attempts to spend
more money than it receives.
3. We will report to the
news media any violation of
the home rule charter.
4. We will make all deci-
sions based on what is in the
best interest of taxpayers’
money.
5. We will work to eliminate
waste from county govern-
ment.
Someone once said, “A
problem is an opportunity for
a solution.” Applying that
statement to Luzerne County
results in many opportunities
for solutions.
We have been consulting
with Walter Griffith, Luzerne
County controller, to get his
input on ideas that will elim-
inate waste in Luzerne County
government and save tax-
payers’ money. We also will
study the report prepared by
the commonwealth’s early
intervention group. We will
strive to implement recom-
mendations from this report
that eliminate waste.

Mayor’s war chest
sign of confidence
I
read with stunned bemuse-
ment a recent article in
which Wilkes-Barre Mayor
Tom Leighton’s Democrat
primary opponent was
shocked to learn that the
mayor has some $65,000 in his
campaign war chest.
Really? Perhaps some of us
should hearken back to late
2003, when Wilkes-Barre had
an empty, boarded-up down-
town, a dangerously depleted
police department, crumbling
infrastructure as far as the eye
could see, finances dripping
with an endless supply of red
ink and a thoroughly dis-
pirited populace. Some of us
might need to recall where we
were versus where we are.
People actually believe in
Leighton’s stewardship, and
many have donated money to
his campaign. Is that some
sort of negative? That some
people do want him to secure
a third term as mayor?
If Leighton’s record as may-
or only served as an indict-
ment of sorts, wouldn’t the big
money be going the other way
– to his opponents?
Seriously, this is sophistry
already. All I’m getting from
the would-be leader is that the
neighborhoods will be signif-
icantly improved by way of
some still yet-to-be-seen magic
wand. That somebody out
there stole an election sign.
And that some phone poll
included some supposedly
mean-spirited, leading ques-
tions. That’s it?
Sorry, but an enhanced
Crime Watch contingent will
not keep our neighborhoods
under control; only boots on
the ground can achieve that.
Only dedicated, well-trained,
well-armed police officers in
sufficient numbers will ever
come close to returning us to
the days when we could leave
the front screen door un-
locked. And to that end, one
candidate has seized upon
every possible opportunity to
bolster the ranks of our police
department, while the other
has prowled around at night,
praising our police officers’
performance but constantly
carping about their leadership.
Well, the way I see it, if the
coach stinks, then the team
probably stinks, too. So which
is it already? Is police Chief
Gerard Dessoye a capable
leader, or should he be uncere-
moniously replaced by a mem-
ber of the Crime Watch, too?
Is the mayor inattentive to our
policing needs? Should he,
too, be replaced by those who
would patrol rather than do
what they were originally
chartered to do: watch?
You know the answers to
those overdue questions. And
so do the majority of the vot-
ers of Wilkes-Barre.
$65,000? That’s it?

Wilkes-Barre
Baker gives view
on school choice
I
t is perfectly legitimate for
any group to encourage
citizens to contact their
state legislators and voice an
opinion on an issue of great
concern. The resulting give-
and-take helps to increase
public understanding of the
details of legislation, and
provides me with greater
insight into what people are
thinking and why.
It is a different story when
such an effort misconstrues
the “facts” and is little more
than an attack ad. That gener-
ates more confused calls than
it does compelling advocacy.
As a case in point, the Wash-
ington, D.C. folks who paid for
the recent ad in The Times
Leader regarding Senate Bill 1
showed very little understand-
ing about education in this
area.
Yes, there is great appeal in
the concept of letting families
have more opportunities to
pick a school for their chil-
dren. The question is this: Are
there enough opportunities
locally to justify the cost? The
answer seems to be that, since
our area does not have the
failing and violent schools the
ad describes, school choice
would have little impact here
in the early going. Nor would
families find easy access to
affordable alternatives, which
are more prevalent elsewhere
in the state.
At a time when our schools
are scrambling to deal with
serious cuts in funding, it
seems hard to justify creating
a program that will have little
benefit locally.
The cuts in state funding
are a reality, with or without a
school-choice bill being ap-
proved. Reduced funding will
have mixed results. On the
plus side, it is an opportunity
to erase some administrative
overhead, eliminate marginal
programs and mine the cost-
saving potential of consoli-
dation and efficiency steps. On
the minus side, some useful
programs and good educators
seem sure to become casu-
alties of cost-cutting.
I acknowledge the need for
a wide range of changes in
education funding and policy,
and support proposals where
the benefits are certain. This
includes providing additional
funding for the popular Educa-
tion Improvement Tax Credit
program and adopting a series
of mandate-relief measures.
But I am not convinced of the
advantage of supporting a
program that would effectively
subtract dollars from educa-
tion here and send the money
mainly to big-city schools.

will be announced at a press con-
ference today in NewYork.
The Wilkes-Barre area team
would be officially announced lat-
er in May, according to sources.
The franchises will cost about
$250,000 and players will earn
from $200 to $1,000 a week, ac-
cording to the Sports Business
Journal’s Web site.
The area franchise will be own-
ed by a group headed by Jim Jen-
nings, owner of a public relations
company in Easton.
Jennings, who did not want to
comment on the league or the
team, has a long history with pro-
fessional sports and lacrosse.
He has owned several teams
and served as commissioner of
the National Lacrosse League
from2000 to 2009.
Jennings got his start in profes-
sional sports in 1982 as a ticket
sales executive for the New York
Cosmos of the North American
Soccer League. Hehas ownedand
operated three minor league bas-
ketball franchises – the Florida
Beach Dogs, the New Jersey
Shorecats and the Pennsylvania
ValleyDawgs.
He is currently president of Wa-
terbuck Media in Easton.
In recent years, lacrosse has
seen a surge in popularity in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
In the past three years, Dallas,
Tunkhannock, Crestwood and
Lake-Lehman high schools have
all added boys and girls lacrosse
programs. Wyoming Seminary al-
so has girls and boys lacrosse pro-
grams, and five area Division III
colleges also . play the sport.
Other cities rumored to be in
the league include Charlotte,
N.C., Hershey, Lexington, Ky.,
Richmond, Va., and Orlando, Fla.
The news left at least a couple
of area high school coaches excit-
ed.
“I think it’s just exciting,” said
Wyoming Seminary girls lacrosse
coachCatie Kersey. “I think it will
give publicity to a sport that is al-
ready growing.”
While noting that indoor la-
crosse is closer to the boys game
thanthegirls, Kerseysaidfanscan
expect plenty of action.
“It’s a really fun, exciting sport
to watch,” Kersey said.
“Anything that brings attention
to lacrosse is good in my book,”
SeminaryboyscoachJonSiff said.

WILKES-BARRE – Monday’s
Wilkes-Barre Area School Board
work session was highlighted by
the unveiling of plans to bring
multiple existing behavioral and
mental health services under
one umbrella while expanding
the reach and effectiveness of
such help.
School Psychologists Beth
Ann Owens and Jennifer Thie-
mann noted the district’s stu-
dent population has grown
markedly poorer, with about 65
percent of roughly 6,900 stu-
dents classified as low income.
Studies have repeatedly shown
that such students are at higher
risk of numerous problems, in-
cluding health issues, substance
abuse and turning to crime.
The duo praised the district’s
efforts aimedat headingoff prob-
lems, but said the need is grow-
ing, requiring a more compre-
hensive approach. They pro-
posed a review to see what is
working, alookat successful pro-
grams in other districts, a
monthly newsletter to be sent
home detailingsigns of a specific
issue and resources parents
could use to counter the prob-
lem, a new website, and in-
creased training of staff.
Training would begin this
summer, they said. Superintend-
ent Jeff Nameysaidheexpects to
ask the board for money for the
additional training and material
needed for the effort, and said it
could run about $25,000.
Namey stressed the district
has done “a terrific job” trying to
help students and their families
with problems, but that the pop-
ulation has become more tran-
sient, with homeless families in-
creasing15-fold, upto40 percent
of students being raised by
grandparents, and more stu-
dents with no family living local-
ly.
The board also questioned
John Anstet, a former Luzerne
County chief assessor who of-
fered to work as a consultant on
assessment appeal issues. The
boardis looking for ways to stem
large losses of property tax mon-
ey from successful reductions of
assessed property values. Anstet
touted his decades of experience
and noted he does similar con-
sulting work for Wilkes-Barre.
Asked what he would charge,
Anstet said the board would
have to decide if it wanted to pay
by case handled, by the hour or
some other way. The board
asked himto work up more solid
figures, and the scope of work
payments would cover.
When board member James
Fisher brought upthe idea of get-
ting nonprofit entities to pay
money in lieu of taxes – he noted
roughly half the property in the
district was owned by nonprofits
– the board’s newest member,
Dr. Mark Shiowitz, said he knew
members of some nonprofit
boards of trustees and would ap-
proach them with the idea.
W-B Area considers ways to aid students
District faces need to offer
help to more students who
are low-income and at-risk.

[email protected]
Mark Guydish, a Times Leader staff
writer, can be reached at 829-7161
said.
The applicants includedformer
administrators, teachers and
board members, but Shiowitz
hopes he canturnhis outsider sta-
tusintoaschool districtplus, start-
ing with the budget. The board is
grapplingwithashortfall inexcess
of $6 million created largely by
education cuts in Gov. Tom Cor-
bett’s proposed budget – a big rea-
son he applied for the post, Shio-
witz said.
“I certainly will ask some ques-
tionsandtrytogetuptospeedand
see if there is any out-of-the box
thinking, any question that may
not have been looked at before to
garner a little savings,” he said.
Stressing he wants to get to
know more about finances and
curriculum, he said he would like
tokeepjuniorhighextracurricular
activities intact if possible. Cut-
tingthemhas beena frequent pro-
posal as area districts cope with
shortfalls.
“I do have an interest in main-
taining extracurricular activities
for junior high kids,” he said. His
son is in seventh grade at Meyers.
“I believetheyaremoreimportant
than ever.”
Though he admitted needing
more information before offering
soliciting proposals, Shiowitz
wouldalsolike tosee the district’s
three high schools kept open “if
there is a goodfiscal reason.” Con-
vertingoneor twointosomething
akin to “magnet schools” – focus-
ingonspecificareassuchasartsor
science, drawing tuition-paying
students from other districts –
could be an option.
Moretransparencyandnewhir-
ing, anti-nepotism and ethics pol-
icies are on the list of a man who
doubts he will run for a full term.
“I’ve just got to learn the job,”
Shiowitz said. “I’ve got to learn
what’s involved.”

Onaverage, water fromwells lo-

than water tested from wells far-

publishedMonday inthe Proceed-
ings of the National Academy of
Sciences.
Methaneis not knowntobetox-

sciousness andevendeath, sinceit
displaces oxygen needed to

Of the 60 wells tested for me-
thanegas,14hadlevelsof methane
within or above a hazard range set
by the Department of Interior for
gas seeping fromcoal mines —all
but one of themnear a gas well. In
nine wells, concentrations were so
high that the government would
recommend immediate action to
reduce the methane level.
Methaneisreleasednaturallyby

nic matter. The researchers’ analy-
sis shows the type of methane in
the wells with the highest concen-
trationsiscomingfromdeepinthe
earth, the same place tapped by
companiesinsearchof natural gas.
Inthe most severe case, a home-
owner in Bradford County who
leased her property to a gas com-
pany has so much methane com-
ing out of her tap she can light her
water on fire. Anatural gas well is
located 800 feet fromher house.
“Not everyhomeowner withina
kilometer (of a drilling site) will
have high methane concentra-
tions,” said Stephen Osborn, a
postdoctoral associate at Duke’s
Center on Global Change. “If you
are a homeowner within a kilome-
ter, and our study shows this, I
would be a little bit concerned.”
What the study does not say is
howexactlythemethaneisgetting
into drinking water sources, and
what part of the drilling is poten-
tially involved. While wells closer
todrillingsiteshadmoremethane,
most of thewellsinthestudy—85
percent —had some.
Industry groups on Monday
faulted the research, saying it did
not show that fracking itself was
behind the methane contamina-
tion, nor did the researchers con-
duct before-and-after tests to
prove the contamination occurred
after drilling. The authors them-
selves suspect that the methane is
likely flowing up the sides of the
gas well —rather thandownpath-
ways created by hydraulic fractur-
ing.
“The authors admit they have
no baseline data at all, which
makes it impossible to character-
ize the state of those water wells
prior torecent development,” said
Chris Tucker, a spokesman for En-
ergy in Depth, a national coalition
of independent gas producers.
The industry also was critical of
the paper’s editor, William H.
Schlesinger, who selected the
study’s outside reviewers. Schles-
inger, a biogeochemist and presi-
dent of the Cary Institute of Eco-
system Studies in Millbrook, N.Y,
has supported moratoriums in
New York on hydraulic fracturing
permits until its effects are com-
pletely understood.

The head of a local group that
supports more restrictions on
natural gas drilling says a scien-
tific report released on Monday
substantiates group members’
concerns and should be evidence
enough for Gov. Tom Corbett to
impose a moratorium on drilling
in Pennsylvania.
Dr. Tom Jiunta, president and
founder of the Luzerne County-
based Gas Drilling Awareness
Coalition, said a report by a team
of Duke University scientists that
is to be published in the Proceed-
ings of the National Academy of
Science, “documented pathways
from where they frack to drink-
ing water supplies.”
Hydraulic fracturing, or frack-
ing, is the injection of water,
sand and a low concentration of
chemicals into a shale formation
a couple thousand feet under-
ground at high pressure to stim-
ulate the release of natural gas
from the formation. A perfora-
tion gun lowered into the well
casing detonates charges that
create initial fractures in the
shale.
Jiunta said a Cornell Uni-
versity scientist, Anthony In-
graffea, showed his group slides
indicating that scientists believe
the fractures are “unpredictable.”
“If pathways exist for methane,
then it also exists for the toxic
heavy metals found underground
along with the brine solutions
that are hazardous and the frack-
ing chemicals,” Jiunta said. “It’s
common sense.”
“Gov. Corbett said last week
he would rely on science, not
emotion” for making decisions
related to natural gas explora-
tion. “There’s plenty of science
out there now, and I think this
proves it,” Jiunta said.
In a prepared statement, Kath-
ryn Klaber, president of the Mar-
cellus Shale Coalition, said Penn-
sylvania has “an extensive and
well-documented history of
naturally occurring methane
impacting private water wells,
long before Marcellus devel-
opment began just a few years
ago.”
She called the report “at best
inconclusive. Further, the fact
that is was prepared, in part, by a
vocal and outspoken natural gas
production critic raises a host of
questions regarding academic
veracity.”
Travis Windle, spokesman for
the coalition, pointed to a New
York Times article that quoted
John Conrad, a New York hydro-
geologist “closely affiliated with
the drilling industry,” who said
the researchers may have “jump-
ed the gun” by relying on only
post-drilling data without testing
water wells before drilling oc-
curred in the area.
Windle also noted that Conrad
told The New York Times that
the thermogenic methane found
in the water wells, which many
scientists say comes from the
same deep gas layers where
drilling occurs, could be natural-
ly occurring.
Group: Corbett
should heed

Rob Neher, Secretary Nancy
Morris, Treasurer William Re-
mey and the Rev. Daniel Gunn,
rector.
The once independent VI-
SION program, which recently
closed its office and shifted
management to Catholic Social
Services because of a lack of
funding, provides only tempora-
ry overnight shelter for home-
less men in Luzerne County.
In addition to providing
breakfasts, showers and infor-
mation, referral and case man-
agement services, REACH’s
drop-in center gave the home-
less a safe place to get off the
streets and take a breather dur-
ing the day, said Executive Di-
rector Stefanie Wolownik.
Wolownik said she has seen
sources of funding dry up over
her 10 years with REACH, from
about $40,000 annually to “zero-
ing-out” for this coming fiscal
year.
“But because of the gover-
nor’s cuts, we have to cut that
(homeless services) program.
So no more drop-ins, no more
breakfasts, showers, mail, tele-
phone, nowhere for the unshel-
tered homeless to go, really,”
Wolownik said. “There is no
other drop-in or case-manage-
ment service. I was referring
themto all sorts of job programs
and housing assistance and
helping them fill out applica-
tions for welfare and public
housing, and telling themabout
different programs.”
“Unless we get a miracle,
which I always pray, we’ll be
concentrating on the food pan-
try, the clothes closet and our
family advocacy program,” she
said.
The homeless services pro-
gramhas never receivedgovern-
ment funding; other REACH
programs did. But because fund-
ing for those programs has
ceased, the boardmade the diffi-
cult decision to use donations
previously dedicated to home-
less services for those other pro-
grams, such as food and cloth-
ing distribution, and the family
advocacy programthat works to
keep children out of foster care
and with their parents.
Wolownik said an increased
presence of the homeless on the
street lends itself to more bouts
of public drunkenness, vagran-
cy, loitering and fighting. “They
will be more likely to get in trou-
ble, and it will take them longer
to get on the right path because
nobody will be there to guide
them because it’s not just about
what you’re eligible for, it’s the
encouragement and the guid-
ance along the way,” she said.
Joe Williams, 48, said he will
be sorry to see the program
close its doors.
In 2008, when Williams be-
came homeless after his di-
vorce, the VISION program
gave him a place to stay over-
night, and REACH helped him
out during the day.
Even after REACH helped
him find work and a place of his
own, Wolownik and other vol-
unteers continued to help him
with Social Security Disability
issues and to keep doctor ap-
pointments after he was injured
at a job site whenhe fell off a lad-
der. He spends most days volun-
teering at the drop-in center.
“This place gave me that step
ahead,” Williams said.

HAZLETON – City police
are investigating a shooting
that occurred early Monday
morning and are seeking
information about it from
the public.
Timothy Brady, 26, was
shot in the leg by an un-
known assailant at the in-
tersection of Diamond Ave-
nue and Wyoming Street at
about 12:22 a.m., police said
in a press release.
Brady was treated at and
released from Hazleton Gen-
eral Hospital.
Apparently, an argument
between two factions ulti-
mately led to the shooting,
police said.
Anyone with information

to call police at 459-4940.
All information will be held

U.S. officials have saidtheydidn’t
tell Pakistanis in advance because
they were worried someone might

sousedhelicopters withradar-evad-

couldn’t track them.
Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf
Raza Gilani defended the military
and intelligence services Monday,
telling parliament it was “disingen-
uous for anyone to blame Pakistan
... for being in cahoots with al-Qai-
da.”
Heacknowledgedhisnation’sfail-
ure to track bin Laden but said the
failure wasn’t Pakistan’s alone.
“Yes, there has been an intelli-
gence failure,” Gilani said. “It is not
only ours but of all the intelligence
agencies of the world.”

echelons of Pakistan’s military and
intelligence establishment was

bottabad, an army town only 35
miles from the capital. But suspi-
cions remain, andmembers of Con-
gress havethreatenedtocut off U.S.
aid if evidence is found.
President BarackObamasaidthe
U.S. believes bin Laden must have
hada support networkinside Pakis-
tan.
“But we don’t knowwhoor what
that support network was,” Obama
said in an interview broadcast Sun-
day on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” “We
don’t know whether there might
have been some people inside of
government, people outside of gov-
ernment, and that’s something that
wehavetoinvestigate, andmoreim-
portantly, thePakistani government
has to investigate.”
Gilani proclaimed the death of
bin Laden as “indeed justice done”
since al-Qaida has launched many
attacks inside Pakistan. But he
warned the U.S. not to try a similar
covert raid in the future.
“Unilateralism runs the inherent
risk of serious consequences,” Gila-
ni said. “Pakistan reserves the right
toretaliate withfull force. ... Noone
should underestimate the resolve
and capability of our nation and
armed forces to defend our sacred
homeland.”
At the same time, however, he
stressedtheimportanceof Pakistan-
U.S. ties and insisted the relation-
ship was still strong.
“Our communications at the offi-
cial and diplomatic levels with the
U.S., during this phase, have been
good, productive and straightfor-
ward,” said Gilani.
Gilani’sspeechandthesuspected
leak of the CIAstation chief’s name
illustrate the balancing act that Pa-
kistani officials seemto be trying to
achieve inrespondingtothe binLa-
den raid.
Civilian and military leaders
must placateadomestic population
that is upset at the U.S. for violating
the country’s sovereignty and out-
raged at the country’s army and in-
telligence agency for allowing it to
happen. But they must also worry
about preserving their relationship
with the U.S., which provides bil-
lions of dollars in military and civil-
ianaidfor cooperationonthewar in
Afghanistan.
“Gilani’s statement and the
leak of the name of the name of
the supposed CIA station chief
appear to be inkeeping withIsla-
mabad’s need to maintain rela-
tions with the United States and
at the same time try and counter
growingU.S. pressureinthewake
of the Osama bin Laden killing,”
said Kamran Bokhari, an analyst
with STRATFOR, a private secu-
rity think tank in Austin, Texas.
Even before the discovery of
bin Laden, many U.S. officials ac-
cused Pakistan of playing a dou-
blegamebytakingAmericanaid,
promising its support and then
failing to target key Islamist mil-
itants wanted by the U.S., includ-
ing Taliban chief Mullah Mo-
hammed Omar.
ButtheU.S. isinadifficultposi-
tionbecause it is reliant onPakis-
tan’s help to go after Taliban mil-
itants on its territory and ships a
large percentage of its non-lethal
goods toits forces inAfghanistan
through the country. Pakistan al-
soallows the CIAdrones tocarry
out missilestrikes onmilitant tar-
gets in the border regions. Push-
ing Pakistan too hard could jeop-
ardize the relationship with the
critical, if fickle, ally.

T
he blank looks on their faces
suggested the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguins would have
trouble facing reality.
Because a really good opportunity
just slipped right past them.
The smoothest season in Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre history went skidding
off the ice. The team to beat in the
Calder Cup Playoffs was beaten
soundly.
And the sound of eerie silence
inside the Penguins locker room only
explained how hard everyone was
trying to figure out why.
“I’ve got no rhyme or reason,”
Penguins captain Ryan Craig said. “If
I did, we wouldn’t be talking about
it.”
Instead, we’re talking about a sud-
den and certain collapse.
The best team in the AHL, based
on a league-high 58 victories during
the regular season, isn’t supposed to
get steam-rolled in the second round
of the playoffs.
But that’s exactly what happened
when the Penguins got chucked by
the Charlotte Checkers in six games.
The kicker came Saturday, when
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s three-goal
lead in the third period was buried
under an avalanche of Charlotte
goals.
Chris Terry scored twice, Brett
Sutter once, and Zac Dalpe rifled
home the winner for the Checkers in
machine-gun like fashion, all within a
10-minute span.
Rat-a-tat-tat.
Just like that, Wilkes-Barre/Scran-
ton’s season went flat.
“I don’t think any of us expect
right now … it doesn’t feel like it
should be over yet,” Penguins goalie
Brad Thiessen said after the series-
ending 4-3 defeat.
It may take a long time for the
Penguins to get over it.
Some of them doubled over in
disbelief at the final result. Others
took an eternity leaving the ice.
Thiessen stared straight ahead, al-
most aimlessly, still dressed in his
goalie gear in the locker room as
minutes of stunned silence ticked
away.
This wasn’t the way the Penguins
planned to bring the series with
Charlotte back to Mohegan Sun Are-
na.
“It’s a great group of guys we had
in here,” Thiessen said.
He’s right about that.
The Penguins overcame constant
change – they lost their top six score-
rs to parent Pittsburgh at one point –
to record a franchise-record and
league-best 58 victories this season.
Their resolve and resiliency made
the Penguins, and a lot of other peo-
ple, believe they’d come home with
the Calder Cup.
Instead, a season overflowing with
spectacular success now looks empty.
“We had a team we felt definitely
could do it this year,” Thiessen said.
That makes the finality of this
season even tougher to take for the
Penguins.
“I’ve been on teams where we
think about winning, going all the
way,” Penguins center Joe Vitale said.
“But for one reason or another, it
didn’t seem like it was all there.
“This team, this year, everything
was put in place.”
Until a 10-minute flurry sent every-
thing out of place.
“Everyone in this room felt we had
what it takes,” Vitale said. “You don’t
come across that very often.
“It’s disappointing.”
More like devastating.
“It takes a little while to digest the
end of the season,” Penguins coach
John Hynes said.
When high hopes come crashing
down, the taste is never very sweet.

DALLASTWP. – Berwick wasn’t out of
first place for long.
Not even a week, thanks to the Wyom-
ing Valley Conference’s top scorer and
the WVC’s stingiest defense.
Bella Jaffin scored twice and Berwick
posted its sixth shutout of the season, de-
feating Dallas 3-0 in a key Division 1-A
game.
Berwick (9-1-1) moved into a first-place
tie with Coughlin (9-1-1), the team that
knocked the Dawgs off the top perch last
Tuesday. Dallas (7-1-2) droppedfromfirst
to third.
Berwick’s victory, its first over Dallas
since the 2009 season, was also impor-
tant inthe District 2playoff race. The top-
two Division1-Ateams get first-round by-
es. All three of the aforementioned have
clinched D2 playoff spots.
“It’s really nice. I don’t think we’ve bea-
ten them in a few years,” Berwick coach
Paul DiPippa said. “That was very re-
warding. We’re playing
hurt, too. We’re missing
our senior captainonde-
fense (Olivia Jaffin).”
It didn’t look like Ber-
wick was missing any
parts. The fullback line
of senior Kayla Connor
and sophomores Alex Lorson, Bridget
Orlando and Kelly Sheptock was out-
standing once again.
Sheptock in particular seemed to be all
over the field. The Times Leader All-
WVCselection as a freshman scored Ber-
wick’s first goal in the seventh minute
during a scramble after a corner kick.
“They’ve been playing great,” Berwick
keeper Sarah Wilczynski said. “Kelly
Sheptock has been doing a great job with
our injury to Liv Jaffin. Kayla has been
stepping it upanddoing great back there.
We have a great defense that’s really
strong.”
The offense has been good as well. Bel-
la Jaffin, who has been all-WVC the past
three seasons, scored late in the first half
off a corner kick by Caty Davenport for a
2-0 lead. She struck again midway
through the second half, benefiting from
a beautiful pass from Abby Takacs. Ta-
kacs launched a pass from the right side,
well beyond the penalty area, to the far
post where Jaffin scored.
The victory came six days after a 3-2
overtimeloss toCoughlinwhereBerwick
surrendered one less goal than it had all
season.
“It just made us want to win much
more andpractice harder, whichis always
a good thing,” Bella Jaffin said of the loss.
“The way youpractice is the way youplay
ina game. Todaywehit onall our passes.”
Meanwhile, Dallas suffered a setback
at the onset. Ashley Dunbar, one of its top
scorers, didn’t last long after being acci-
dentally kicked in the ankle she sprained
earlier in the year. Colleen McDonald
tweaked her left knee trying to make a

Brad Thiessen will have a long time
to think about the four-goal eruption by
the Charlotte Checkers on Saturday
that brought an abrupt end to the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins season.
Forty five hours to be
exact.
That’s how long it will
take Thiessen to make
the drive to his home in
Aldergrove, British Co-
lumbia where he will spend the sum-
mer.
On Monday, he and the rest of his
teammates stopped by the Ice Rink at
Coal Street to clean out their lockers,
pack up belongings and put an end to a
season that was full of so many highs
yet ended with a shocking low.
“It doesn’t feel like it should be over,”
Thiessen said. “It was a successful year
and something a lot of guys can be
proud of, but at the same time we gave
up a three goal lead with 10 minutes
left. It will stick with you for the sum-
mer.”
Less than 48 hours
after the Penguins
were eliminated from
the playoffs witha 4-3
Game 6 loss to Char-
lotte, the shock was
still strong. Around
the locker room the customary music
was silent, the television was off and
heads still hung low.
“It was a disappointing way to go out
and it hasn’t sunk in,” said winger Tim
Wallace.

mitted to vote for players from their own team. Two

In tonight’s co-featured $21,000 Claiming Pace, the Lou Pena-
trained DVC Gifted Indeed is simply the way to go. The 4-year-old
gelded son of Place To Be has been superb since arriving on the scene
for Pena. On April 19, the Dino V Lo Castro-owned pacer was pres-
sured most of the mile, while setting all the fractions, before giving
way late for a hard-fought second in 1:53.4. Then in his most recent
start, driver George Napolitano Jr. took over the reins and dominated
ina career-best time of 1:53. DVCGiftedIndeedis sharpright nowand
is worth following for sure in this evening’s 12th race.

STANDINGS/STATS
WASHINGTON—The FBI re-
leased documents Monday stat-
ing that New York Yankees own-
er George Steinbrenner assisted
the agency in two investigations
— one of them apparently a ter-
rorismprobe —in the years lead-
ing up to his pardon by President
Ronald Reagan on a campaign-
contributions conviction.
The Associated Press and oth-
er news organizations requested
the FBI file under the Freedomof
Information Act following Stein-
brenner’s death in July. The first
release was
made last De-
cember. The
two releases
combined to-
taled about 800
pages.
In a newly re-
leased1988 FBI
memo, the FBI said that it “sup-
ports the contention that George
Steinbrenner has provided the
FBI with valuable assistance.”
Seven months later, Reagan
pardoned Steinbrenner for his
convictions in a case involving
campaign donations to President
Richard Nixon and other politic-
ians.
The documents, included in
the second release of Steinbren-
ner’s FBI file, also show that he
blamed his illegal corporate cam-
paign contribution to Nixon on
bad legal advice.
The memo disclosed Monday
described one probe in which
Steinbrenner assisted as “an un-
dercover operation” that ulti-
mately led to an arrest, prosecu-
tion and conviction. The FBI de-
scribed the other investigation
simply as “a sensitive security
matter.” The FBI deleted all spe-
cifics about the probes before re-
leasing the bureau’s file on Stein-
brenner, who died last year.
Aseparate FBI document iden-
tifies the cases as “two national
security matters” and says Stein-
brenner assisted the bureau from
1978 to 1983.
A1987 letter by Steinbrenner’s
lawyers about his assistance to
the FBI says that the Yankees
owner “knows that he placed the
lives of his family and himself in
jeopardy through being involved
in a terrorist matter.”
Separately, the1988 FBI memo
says that Steinbrenner agreed to
use Yankee Stadium for the stag-
ing of over 500 gambling raids
against a major organized crime
syndicate in NewYork City. Adif-
ferent site was ultimately cho-
sen.
Steinbrenner pleaded guilty in
1974 to a conspiracy to funnel
corporate campaign contribu-
tions to politicians, and to mak-
ing a “false and misleading” ex-
planation of a $25,000 donation
to Nixon’s campaign and trying
to influence and intimidate em-
ployees of his shipbuilding com-
pany to give that false informa-
tion to a grand jury.
Five years after his conviction,
Steinbrenner sought a pardon.
“Applicant advised that this
corporate contributionwas made
after he received legal advice
from corporate counsel, both in-
side andoutside (Steinbrenner’s)
American Shipbuilding Compa-
ny, that this corporate contribu-
tion was legal,” stated a 1979 FBI
memo, following a bureau inter-
view with Steinbrenner.

The Associated Press
when closer Kevin Whelan came
on in a non-save situation and
promptly loaded the bases with
one out. He got Mike Nickeas to
ground into a game-ending dou-
ble play ona comebacker.
“He’s had about three days off
(since working Saturday after-
noon) and he was just a little
geared up,” Yankees manager
Dave Miley said. “He made the
pitches whenhe hadto.”
For Vazquez, it was his third
multi-homer game of the season
andsecondagainst Buffalo. Heal-
so hit a pair of longballs against
the Bisons at PNC Field on April
14 and also hit two homers at
Rochester three days before that.
The 29-year old now has 11
homers, giving the Yankees the
toptwopower hitters intheInter-
national League.
Maxwell hit his league-best
12thandnowhas homers inthree
straight games.
“We’re fighting (for the homer
lead)andwe’rehappytryingtodo
our best in every game,” Vazquez
saidthroughaninterpreter.
“They (both) get pretty decent
at-bats,” Miley said. “We’re pretty
solidinthe middle.”
Both sluggers connected
against Buffalo pitcher Brian
Sweeney, a 36-year-old veteran
making his first pro appearance
this season.
Vazquez’ first homer, leading
off the second inning, came on a
swing which first appeared to be
nothing more than a high fly ball
to left-center field. The ball kept
carrying, however, and went over
thewall. Inthethird, Vazquezand
Maxwell hit back-to-back shots
with two out. Vazquez crushed a
2-1 pitch to straight center field,
even clearing a second wall used
in an old configuration. Maxwell
followed by depositing a1-0 pitch
to left.
Sweeney (0-1) struck out eight
batters in six innings of work, but
couldn’t get out of trouble in a
three-run second. After Vazquez’
first homer, he allowed runs to
Brandon Laird and Jordan Parraz
via anerror anda wildpitch.
Sweeney split 2010 between
Seattle and Tacoma after spend-
ingthreeyearsinJapan. Thisyear,
he attended spring training with
Arizonaandwassignedafterplay-
ing inthe Independent League.
Scranton starter D.J. Mitchell
(1-2) was effective, too, inhis first
start since April 23. He limited
Buffalo to five hits in seven in-
nings, allowing just an unearned
run in the third inning and a lead-
off homer to Fernando Martinez
inthe seventh.
JessToddworkedtheeighthin-
ninginhisYankeesdebut after be-
ing claimed from the Cleveland
organizationonFriday. Hegotout
of the eighth on a nice defensive
play by second baseman Luis Nu-
nez, whomade anover-the-shoul-
der catch in shallow right-center
and doubled off a runner at first
base for an inning-ending double
play. TheYankeeshad13of14bat-
ters retired between the fifth in-
ning and the ninth, but added an-
other run in the final inning on a
bases-loaded walk by Chris Dick-
erson.

Misericordia beat the Devils
5-4 on Sunday before breaking
open Monday’s decisive game
with five runs in the bottom of
the fifth.
Nate Hamlin struck the big-
gest blow in the frame, coming
through with a three-run double
with the bases loaded and two
outs to make it 7-2.
Andrew Tressa and Joe Ta-
gliarini both doubled and drove
in a run for the Cougars (27-14).
Tressa, Tagliarini, Ryan Cac-
chioli and Mike Impellittiere all
finished with two hits.
Will Minderjahn earned the
win, allowing four hits in five
innings of work. Pat Clark fin-
ished it off with four shutout
innings of relief, giving up just
two hits while striking out six.
Misericordia will now head to
a regional bracket, with play be-
ginning May 18. The winners of
the eight regionals around the
country advance to the NCAA
Division III World Series in Ap-
pleton, Wis.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas
(AP) — Texas A&M coach
Mark Turgeon has agreed to
take over at Maryland, calling
it a “great opportunity.”
Turgeon went 97-40 in four
seasons with the Aggies, lead-
ing them to four consecutive
appearances in the NCAA tour-
nament. They went 24-9 this
past season, losing to Florida
State in the second round.
The Terrapins had been
looking for a coach since Gary
Williams retired last week after
recording a school-record 461
wins over 22 seasons. They
went 19-14 last season and
didn’t make the postseason.
Turgeon spent seven years at
Wichita State before joining
Texas A&M, compiling a 128-
90 record with the Shockers.
Texas A&M announced Tur-
geon’s departure Monday
night.
FOXsports.com was the first
to report the hire.
Maryland hires Turgeon to replace Williams

MILAN — Belgian cyclist Wouter
Weylandt died Monday after a high-
speed downhill crash at the Giro d’Ital-
ia, the first death in a major cycling race
in 16 years.
The 26-year-old rider fell during a de-
scent more than12 miles fromthe finish
in northern Italy. He lay motionless and
bleeding heavily on the roadside before
paramedics removed his helmet and
tried to resuscitate him.
“He was unconscious with a fracture
of the skull base and facial damage,” Gi-
ro doctor Giovanni Tredici said. After
40 minutes of cardiac massage we had
to suspend the resuscitation because
there was nothing more we could do.”
His body was covered by a sheet and
taken away by ambulance about an hour
after the accident. Local investigators
immediately opened an inquiry. Wey-
landt’s body was taken to a nearby hos-
pital for an autopsy.
Weylandt’s father
and the cyclist’s preg-
nant girlfriend were
en route to Italy and
were to be met at Mal-
pensa airport in Mi-
lan.
“Things like this
shouldn’t happen. Absolutely sick to
the stomach,” British cyclist Mark Ca-
vendish said on Twitter.
Davide Vigano, one of Weylandt’s
teammates, described the descent as a
technical one, with smooth asphalt.
“I wasn’t told about what had hap-
pened during the race,” he said. “I’m
lost for words.”
Wouter Weylandt (pronounced
WOW-tehrk WAY-lahnt) rode for Leop-
ard-Trek. The team put a picture of the
smiling rider on its website.
“The team is left in a state of shock
and sadness and we send all our
thoughts and deepest condolences to
the family and friends of Wouter,” the
statement said. “This is a difficult day
for cycling and for our team, and we
should all seek support and strength in
the people close to us.”
Leopard-Trek general manager Brian
Nygaard tweeted that the team would
decide later in the day if it would con-
tinue to race. The 21-stage Giro finishes
in Milan on May 29.
“I’m shocked and saddened. May he
rest in peace,” Lance Armstrong, the
seven-time Tour de France champion
who is now retired, said on Twitter.
Organizers canceled the day’s prize
ceremony. Spain’s Angel Vicioso won
Monday’s 107-mile stage from Reggio
Emilia to Rapallo. David Millar of Bri-
tain took the pink jersey as overall lead-
er.
Race director Angelo Zomegnan said
there will be no afternoon music or fes-
tivities at Tuesday’s fourth stage. He
added that it will be up to the riders to
decide how they might want to honor
Weylandt.
Almost exactly a year ago — May 10,
2010 —Weylandt won the third stage of
the Giro on its final day in the Nether-
lands.
Weylandt was the first rider killed in
a crash in one of cycling’s three main
tours since Italian rider Fabio Casartelli
died during the 1995 Tour de France.
Weylandt is the fourth cyclist to die
during Giro and the first in 25 years.
The others were Orfeo Ponsin (1952),
Juan Manuel Santisteban (1976) and
Emilio Ravasio (1986).
At the 2009 Giro, Pedro Horrillo was
induced into a coma after falling 200
feet over a guard rail into a ravine dur-
ing the eighth stage. The following day,
the main pack deliberately rode slowly
to protest safety conditions.
In 2003, Kazakh rider Andrei Kivilev
died after he fell from his bike and frac-
tured his skull while not wearing a hel-
met during the Paris-Nice stage race.
The International Cycling Union subse-
quently made the wearing of hard hel-
mets compulsory.

Captain Ryan Craig was the
last player scheduled to meet
with head coach John Hynes
andPittsburghassistant general
manager JasonBotterill. The re-
ality that this season – one in
which the Penguins dominated
the AHLwith58 wins andwona
truckload of awards along the
way, hit Craig as he was the last
player to pack up his bags and
leave the locker room.
It was kind of like a high
school graduation where class-
mates that had grown into a
family over the years were now
going their separate ways.
“We won’t have this same
group together again, which is
the most disappointing part,”
Craigsaid. “We were a teamthat
I don’t think had the most talent
and didn’t score the most goals,
but we started with a commit-
ment to each other and we
found ways to win. Unfortunate-
ly that ran out a little too soon.
“I hope it sticks with everybo-
dy for a little while. Learn from
the mistakes.”
Hynes agreed, adding that
the postseason expectations for
the Penguins were high based
on the success they had during
the regular season. At times, he
said, the team overachieved to
fight their way to 58 wins. But
the ultimate test of success
comes in the playoffs in a high
pressure environment.
Watching a three-goal lead
disappear of a span of nine min-
utes is such a situation.
But Hynes was adamant that
the Penguins didn’t choke. They
just couldn’t stop Charlotte’s
sudden momentum swing.
“When you choke you freeze.
You don’t show up and you
don’t execute,” Hynes said. “We
came to play.”
So long to some familiar
faces?
Wallace has been with the
Penguins since 2006, and John
Curry joined the team in 2007.
They are the longest-tenured
members on Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton, and they both could
be gone.
Wallace and Curry are unre-
stricted free agents, meaning
they could easily sign elsewhere
this summer.
Will they?
“I haven’t thought about it
yet. It’s still kind of shocking
that the season’s over,” Wallace
said. “I have no idea where I’ll
be playing next year, but I’ll
cherish my experience here.”
Curry lost his starting job to
Thiessen but still managed to
win 23 games and post solid
numbers for the fourth straight
year. He’s been through team
clean-out days before, but this
one, he said, feels different.
This is the first time that Cur-
ry heads into a summer not
knowing where he’ll be playing
next season.
“I don’t know if I’ll be back or
somewhere else, but I had a
great experience this year. The
way things were handled with
me by this organizations was
top notch,” Curry said.” I
haven’t thought about what’s
going to happen this summer,
but I’m going to have some op-
tions. I’ve done everything I can
up to this point.”
Wallace and Curry both said
they would welcome a return to
the Penguins, but there are sev-
eral variables in play. Wallace
said a lot of his decision will be
based on where he has the best
chance to play in the NHL, and
Curry said it’s difficult to sepa-
rate one’s attachment to a place
– Wilkes-Barre, with what’s best
for his career.
“The most important thing is
you have to look out for yourself
and do the best thing for your
career,” Curry said. “But I’ve
made a lot of good relationships
here. It will be tough to leave
this place, if that happens.”
Other unrestricted free
agents include Craig, Andrew
Hutchinson, Steve Wagner, Co-
rey Potter, Brett Sterling, Bryan
Lerg, Chris Collins and Geoff
Walker. Lerg was set to start the
season in Europe when the Pen-
guins called. He was burned
once in his career when the Ed-
monton Oilers barely gave him
a look after drafting him, and
Lerg made it clear that he didn’t
want it to happen again.
It didn’t. Over the season,
Lerg went from tryout to a top
player on the power play, clearly
re-establishing himself in the
AHL.
“Maybe this is what I needed.
A coach that believed in me,
gives me confidence and knows
what I can do,” Lerg said. “You
always want to improve your re-
sume and I feel I took a huge
step this year.”
For Craig, his season with the
Penguins was his first away
from the Tampa Bay organiza-
tion sine he turned pro seven
years ago. On Monday he said
he has no regrets.
“I’mquite happy with where I
endedup andhowthis organiza-
tion treated me and my family,”
Craig said. “My experience in
Wilkes-Barre has been great.”H-
is plans for next season?
“Get a contract for next year
and try to work my way back to
the NHL full-time,” Craig said.
“But I’mdefinitely open to com-
ing back here.”
Hynes’ future in air?
With several job openings in
the NHL coaching ranks, it
wouldn’t be a surprise if some-
one inquired if the AHL’s Coach
of the Year was interestedintak-
ing a step to the next level. If the
NHL does come calling, Hynes
said he doesn’t know what he
would say.
But Hynes did make it clear
that he is perfectly happy in the
Penguins organization.
“To me, it’s all about trying to
find the right fit and where you
think you can have the most
success,” Hynes said. “Right
now I’m in a great situation in a
great organization. My aspira-
tions are to be the best coach I
can be here now. Where that
leads me I don’t know.”
The bar is raised
After being named the AHL’s
top goaltender this season, it
was obvious that Thiessen
achieved most of the goals he
set for himself at the onset of
the season.
Next season, he’ll have anoth-
er.
“Going into next year it will
be to try to prove that I can do it
on a consistent level, that it’s
not just one year,” Thiessen
said.

BOSTON (AP) — LeBron
James scored 35 points and
grabbed14reboundstoleadMia-
mi to a 98-90 overtime victory
over the Boston Celtics on Mon-
day night and give the Heat a 3-1
lead in the Eastern Conference
semifinals.
Dwyane Wade scored 28 with
nine rebounds and Chris Bosh
had 20 points and 12 rebounds
for Miami, which could elimi-
nate the defending conference
champions and advance to the
East finals with a victory in
Game 5 in Miami on Wednesday
night.
James, Wade and Bosh scored
83 of Miami’s 98 points and had
35 of its 45 rebounds.
Paul Pierce scored 27, Ray Al-
lenhad17andKevinGarnett had
sevenpoints and10 rebounds for
Boston.
James made up for a turnover
at theendof regulationwithafal-
laway jumper to start overtime
andgiveMiami theleadforgood.
The Celtics scored just four
pointsinovertime, shooting1for
6 and making four of their 18
turnovers.
Rajon Rondo, who dislocated
his left elbow Saturday night in
Game 3, played 39 minutes with
a padded sleeve covering what
appeared to be a brace on his left
arm, scoring10 with five assists.
Bostontookan84-81leadwith
2:28 left after back-to-back 3-
pointers byDelonte West andAl-
len, but James hit a 3 to tie it and
then made a left-handed lay-in
with 48 seconds to play to give
Miami an 86-84 lead. Pierce
drove to the basket to tie it, but
James lost control of the ball
while he was dribbling down the
clock.
Allen went for it and was
bumped by James Jones, giving
Boston the ball out of bounds
with 19.5 seconds left and the
game tied at 86. Pierce got the
ball, waited out the clock and
then took a high-arcing fallaway
jumper in the final seconds that
bounced off the rim as time ex-
pired.
In the overtime period, Gar-
nett threwtheball awayandthen
James madeafallawayjumper as
the shot clock expired to give
Miami an 88-86 lead. Allen mis-
sed, Bosh dunked at the other
end, West misseda3-pointer and
then James drewa charging foul
on Pierce. After another Boston
turnover, Wade made a 2-pointer
withhis foot onthe 3-point arc to
give Miami a 92-86 lead with 2
minutes left in overtime.
One game after the Heat’s Big
Three combined for just 44
points —their lowest total since
they assembled their superteam
in Miami — they provided al-
most all of the offense. No one
else had more than four points,
and the Heat’s bench totaled just
seven.
Miami wonthefirst twogames
at home, but the Celtics respon-
ded when the series returned to
Boston and clamped down on
the Heat’s Big Three to win
Game 3 97-81. Garnett had his
best game of the series, scoring
28 with18 rebounds, but the star
for Boston was Rondo.
The Celtics point guard re-
turned from a dislocated left el-
bow and provided his team with
the spark it had been missing.
There was some doubt about
whether he would be ready for
Game 4 — but not in Rondo’s
mind.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Da-
niel Sedin and Mason Raymond
scored first-period goals, and
Roberto Luongo made 23 saves
as the Vancouver Canucks beat
the Nashville Predators 2-1
Monday to advance to the West-
ern Conference finals.
The Canucks, who had the
NHL’s best record this season,
reached the conference finals
for the first time since 1994 and
will face the winner of the se-
ries between the San Jose
Sharks and Detroit Red Wings.
Raymond gave Vancouver the
lead 7:45 into the game and Se-
din made it 2-0 just 1:43 later.
Luongo did the rest for the Ca-
nucks, who were outshot 24-19.
Vancouver recorded only nine
total shots in the first two peri-
ods.
David Legwand’s goal 3:31 in-
to the second period cut Van-
couver’s lead to 2-1, but the
Predators couldn’t avoid elimi-
nation again and force a Game
7.
After grabbing the early lead,
the Canucks put the game away
with defense. Nashville had 11
shots in the first period, but on-
ly 13 over the final 40 minutes.
The Canucks got some help
to get their offense rolling as
Predators defenseman Ryan Su-
ter turned over the puck to
Ryan Kesler right next to the
net. Kesler passed to Raymond,
who backhanded a shot past
goalie Pekka Rinne.
Sedin doubled the lead while
Nashville forward Jordin Too-
too served an unsportsmanlike
conduct penalty for diving, after
he was hit by Alex Edler. Sedin
connected just 36 seconds into
the power play.

During the second to last
game of the season against the
Hershey Bears, Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Penguin Bryan Lerg
was on the ice for his last shift of
the night when disaster struck.
He hit Hershey forward An-
drew Gordon, spun around and
hit the back of his knee, result-
ing in an injury that was painful
and mysterious.
X-rays and MRI’s revealed that
everything in Lerg’s knee was
still in place and it wasn’t bro-
ken, but there was a big prob-
lem.
“I couldn’t walk,” Lerg said.
Lerg returned for the first four
games of the Norfolk series, but
the injury limited his time on
the ice.
“I don’t even know how I
played,” Lerg said. “They had to
do some injections to numb it
up.”
During the second game of
the Norfolk series Lerg was lim-
ited to a few shifts on the power
play. That night he couldn’t
sleep.
“I woke up at 4 a.m. rolling
around,” he said. “I went down
to the hotel pool in Norfolk to
just try to relieve some pain.”
The injury got worse and Lerg
missed the final two games of
the Norfolk series.
“My leg was dead. I fell into
the glass during one of the
games. I was a mess,” Lerg said.
He tried to return against
Charlotte, but things didn’t get
any better. During one game he
was limited to a few power play
shifts, and another he made a
brief appearance and spent the
rest of the night on the bench
due to what head coach John
Hynes later said was a mishap.
The mishap had to do with a
nerve in his leg.
“The whole mishap we had
was if you hit a certain nerve in
my leg it goes numb and I can’t
skate. My foot’s dead, my leg’s
dead,” Lerg said. “We were try-
ing to wait it out. We thought it
would come back.”
Things would continue to get
worse, however. As Lerg tried to
play through the pain, he over-
compensated for the injury
while skating and ended up
hurting his hamstring as well.
He said the Penguins’ trainers
never saw an injury like it so
there was no way of knowing
when it would heal.
All Lerg could do was take a
shot and hope his leg didn’t get
too numb to skate.
“It was such a frustrating sce-
nario just not knowing,” Lerg
said. “After each warmup we
had to find out if my leg was
dead or alive. It was crazy.”
Lerg did recover enough to
play a regular shift in the final
two games against Charlotte,
but he still wasn’t 100 percent.
“I’m walking and moving bet-
ter now, and the season’s over.
Go figure,” Lerg said.

OMAHA, Neb. — Speed-
skating great Apolo Anton
Ohno will decide by the end
of the year or early 2012
whether he’ll train for the
next Winter Olympics.
Ohno turns 29 this month
and would be 31 when the
Winter Olympics are held in
Sochi, Russia.
He said Monday some peo-
ple thought he was too old to
succeed in the Vancouver
Games, where he won three
medals. His eight medals
over three Games is a record
for an American Winter
Olympian.
“The Olympic spirit is al-
ways going to be within my
blood, who I am as a person,”
Ohno said at a news confer-
ence. “I’m excited for the
2014 Games. I’ll be there for
sure. It’s just whether I’ll
have my ice skates with me or
not.”
Ohno, who isn’t competing
in the sport this year, said he
has nothing left to prove to
himself as a speedskater.
“Pre-2006 and pre-210
Games, I was very content
and happy with my career, ac-
tually, as far as how many
medals I had won,” he said. “I
felt very blessed. I had reac-
hed every single goal I want-
ed to accomplish.”
The decision to try for a
fourth Olympics would go be-
yond the chase for medals, he
said.
He said he must ask himself
whether he wants to put his
life on hold to invest the time
and energy into another
Olympics.
“Some athletes are able to
balance their life and do a lot
of separate things,” said Oh-
no, in Omaha to speak at an
awards luncheon. “Essentially
my life revolves around skat-
ing when I’m competing.”
Ohno has used his celebrity
to become an author, motiva-
tional speaker and philanthro-
pist. He also has entered the
nutritional supplement indus-
try.
Going for another Olympics
would be a high-risk, high-re-
ward endeavor, he said.
“My sport, short-track
speedskating, is one where at
any given moment anything
can happen,” he said. “No
matter how well prepared we
are for something, a variable
could change. You could get
disqualified, someone pushes
you, you slip, or you’re a sec-
ond too late.”
He said it’s difficult “men-
tally dealing with the concept
of four years of your life com-
ing down to 40 seconds on
the ice.”
Ohno plans to begin prep-
arations in earnest in a few
weeks for the New York Mara-
thon. He said his training for
the November race, his first
marathon, has been “sporad-
ic” because of his heavy travel
schedule.
Ohno accepted the chal-
lenge to run the marathon
from Subway spokesman
Jared Fogle, who ran his first
marathon last year.
Ohno is among the “famous
fans” of the sandwich-shop
chain.
Ohno joked that he thought
Fogle told him the race would
be 2.6 miles instead of 26.2
miles. Ohno said he would
like to finish in 3 hours, 30
minutes.
“I’ve never run anything
over 8 miles in my life,” he
said.
After the marathon, he’ll
decide on the Olympics.
“The nice thing about the
New York Marathon is I’ll be
in pretty good shape post,” he
said.
“So I’m assuming Novem-
ber or December, perhaps
early next year. We’ll see. The
decision needs to come soon-
er than later.”
Ohno will decide later about Winter Olympics

Disney earnings
Walt Disney’s earnings are likely to
show that its television operations,
including ABC and ESPN, ben-
efited from the continuing recovery
in the advertising market. A big
question is how the company’s
theme parks did. Harsh winter
weather kept some travelers from
making it to Florida and Walt
Disney World. And the earthquake
and tsunami in Japan shut the two
Disney parks in that country. The
company also has stores and
shows movies in Japan.
Arby’s – sell or hold?
Investors want to know more than how
Wendy’s/Arby’s Group did during the first quarter.
They want an update about possible plans to sell
Arby’s. The company said in January it would con-
sider selling Arby’s, which is trailing other fast-food
chains. The company is also expected to say
whether it’s raising
prices. If so, it will
join competitors
including
McDonald’s who
are charging more
to offset the rising
cost of ingredients.
Toyota assesses quake impact
Toyota’s earnings report for its fiscal
fourth quarter will show how much
the car maker was hurt by the March
11 earthquake and tsunami. The
disaster sharply curtailed Toyota’s
production. The company’s vehicle
output has already fallen by
500,000. And many Japanese car
buyers put off buying new cars
because of uncertainty about the
country’s economy. Toyota has said
worldwide production will start to
recover in July. Look for an update
on that forecast.

Aqua starts project
Aqua Pennsylvania Inc.’s White
Haven Division has started an
$830,000 main replacement project in
the Sunrise Estates development in
Kingston Township.
Aqua contractors began replacing
6,000 feet of 4- and 6-inch plastic pipe
with new 8-inch ductile iron pipe last
week as part of its continuing infras-
tructure improvement program. Water
mains will be replaced along Tamanini
Drive and Alfred, Eileen, Timothy,
Louise, and Dolores roads. The new
larger mains will increase reliability
and water flow to area residents
throughout the area. The project will
also make fire protection available
throughout the development.
Construction will take place Monday
through Friday, and possibly on Sat-
urdays, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Once the new main is in place, crews
will begin to install and connect the
new service lines to properties along
the affected streets. Final restoration
will be completed later in the spring
and early summer.
Ford F-150 tanks probed
U.S. safety regulators are investigat-
ing a fuel tank problem that could
affect more than 2.7 million Ford F-150
pickup trucks.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration said Monday that the
steel straps holding up the truck’s gas
tank can rust and break, possibly caus-
ing a fuel spill and fire. No injuries have
been reported from the possible defect.
The agency is looking into trucks
from the 1997 through 2001 model
years. NHTSA’s investigations often
lead to recalls.
NYSE shareholders reached
Nasdaq and IntercontinentalEx-
change reached out directly to the
shareholders of the parent company of
the New York Stock Exchange in its
unsolicited bid to acquire the exchange
owner.
On Monday, Nasdaq OMX Group
Inc. and IntercontinentalExchange Inc.
(ICE) issued a letter to NYSE Euronext
shareholders saying that the NYSE
board is rushing them to a vote with-
out exploring better alternatives. The
two exchanges hope that shareholders
will put pressure on NYSE’s board to
consider Nasdaq and Intercontinental’s
bid for NYSE Euronext, which is worth
about $11 billion.
The parent company of NYSE has
twice rejected the joint bid from Nas-
daq and ICE, saying it is committed to
its previously agreed-to $10 billion
merger with German exchange oper-
ator Deutsche Boerse, despite the
lower price.
Items boost for McDonald’s
Sales of McDonald’s shakes, coffee
drinks and breakfast food helped reve-
nue at its restaurants open at least 13
months rise 6 percent in April, the
company said Monday.
Business was strongest overseas,
with the figure rising 6.5 percent in
Europe, Asia, the Middle East and
Africa. U.S. growth of 4 percent was
slower but still ahead of industry
trends.

The recent news that
PlayStation users’
personal data has
been compromised
might seemlike
generic “Who cares?”
technology news.
Unless you happen to own a Play-
Station, of course.
Hacking and data theft are part of
life in the 21st century – it’s gone from
an “oh no” scenario to a “darn it, not
again” occurrence. When proper secu-
rity measures are taken, your data is
generally safe, so you have no one to
blame but yourself.
However, depending on your age –
and parents, I’mdirecting this at you --
you can’t easily protect data that gets
entered into your PlayStation, Xbox,
or other generic Internet-enabled
devices. And in many cases, it’s chil-
dren or young people who do the data
entry.
So, let’s say you give your credit
card number to your children or input
it in a game console yourself so that
your children can buy newgames, buy
expandable content, or utilize other
paid services.
But howmuch attention do typical
parents pay to what their children are
doing, aside fromensuring that they
aren’t playing games with overly
graphic content?
Granted, that’s not quite howthe
current PlayStation hack works.
But it is, without a doubt, putting
sensitive information in someone
else’s hands – someone who may not
have sufficient judgment.
And let’s look at Facebook as well.
Fewage restrictions and it encourages
people to regurgitate as much personal
information as possible. And increas-
ingly, they have been moving to offer
paid services to consumers as well.
Realistically, anything that connects
to the Internet – your phone, your
Xbox, your TV-- all have access to at
least some personal information. In-
ternet-enabled TVs for example, re-
quire you to input an e-mail address
and sometimes credit card information
to purchase apps.
Howsecure are these newmedi-
ums?
Who is responsible for their securi-
ty?
Two points:
One: You are, ultimately, the last
possible gatekeeper when it comes to
your personal information. Do at least
a little research to discover where that
information is going and howit’s used.
Two: Think twice before entering
any sensitive information. You’re never
fully secure. It may be a good idea to
establish separate accounts or cards
for online-only usage, and even a sep-
arate e-mail address fromwhich to
conduct business.

NEW YORK — Professional net-
working website LinkedIn Corp.
hopes to sell its stock for $32 to $35
per share inanupcominginitial public
offering. Its IPO may encourage other
growing Internet services to make
their stock market debuts during the
next year.
The price target, set in a filing Mon-
day with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, signals that LinkedIn is
nearly ready to complete its IPO. The
shares are expected to be sold May18,
according to IPO analyst Scott Sweet.
The stock would then begin trading
under the ticker symbol of “LNKD” on
the New York Stock Exchange.
The company’s debut could offer a
preview of investor demand for other
popular online services that connect
people with common interests. Al-
though they haven’t set timetables,
Facebook, Twitter, the online deals
site Groupon and the game maker
Zynga are among the other social-net-
working services expected to go pub-
lic.
With more than 500 million users,
Facebook is considered to the hottest
commodity of them all.

SOUTHFIELD, Mich. — Hertz
Global Holdings Inc., thelargest publi-
cly traded rental-car company, said
Monday it has offered to buy Dollar
Thrifty Automotive Group Inc. for
$2.24 billion in cash and stock, coun-
tering a bid by Avis Budget Group Inc.
Hertz offered $72 a share, 24 per-
cent more than Avis’s offer, the Park
Ridge, N.J.-based company said in a
statement.
Hertz aims to thwart the planned
combination of Avis and Dollar Thrif-
ty after having an earlier offer reject-
ed. Since then, Parsippany, N.J.-based
Avis and Dollar Thrifty, which has its
headquarters in Tulsa, Okla., have
been seeking Federal Trade Commis-
sion approval for a deal that would
combine the third- and fourth-largest
U.S. rental-car companies.
“I feel certain that this will not be
the last act of the bidding process ei-
ther,” Fred Lowrance, an analyst with
Avondale Partners inNashville, Tenn.,
said in an e-mail. “I would expect to
hear fromAvis -- FTCclearance or not
-- very soon.”
Hertz’s offer, which isn’t subject to
financing conditions, consists of
$57.60 in cash and 0.8546 Hertz
shares.

DALLAS, Texas — Hospital oper-
ator Tenet Healthcare Corp. on Mon-
day rejected Community Health Sys-
tems Inc.’s latest buyout offer, which
had been increased by about 21 per-
cent.
CHS’s latest offer had been set to
expire Monday andit hadsaidthe lat-
est proposal represented its final of-
fer. Tenet said the offer still underval-
ues the company.
On May 2, CHS made the increase
offer of $4.06 billion, or $7.25 per
share in cash. Tenet had already re-
jected CHS’s $6 per-share offer last
month.
The companies have been fighting
over a deal since last fall. The dispute
has since spilled into federal court.
“Community Health’s latest pro-
posal does not reflect our current fi-
nancial position, our 2011 outlook
and our positive future growth pro-
spects,” Tenet President and CEO
Trevor Fetter said in a statement.
Tenet, meanwhile, said its board of
directors approved the repurchase of
up to $400 million shares of common
stock.
In November, CHS had offered to
buy Tenet for $5per share incashand
$1per share in stock. It took the offer
to Tenet shareholders in December
after Tenet rejected that bid. CHS
said in January it would nominate its
own slate of directors to Tenet’s
board.
Tenet, basedinDallas, saidinearly
January that it was adopting a “poi-
son pill” stock distribution measure
to deter the takeover bid. A poison
pill defends a company against take-
overs by diluting the holdings of an
unwanted acquirer. It also has de-
layed its annual meeting and election
of directors to November.
Tenet then filed a lawsuit in April,
claiming CHS bilks Medicare by ad-
mitting patients when they should
only be kept under observation, a
practicethat Tenet saidleads toartifi-
cial inflation of CHS’s stock price.
CHS, based in Franklin, Tenn., has
denied the allegation and asked a
judge to dismiss the suit.
After the lawsuit filing, CHS
switched its $6-per-share offer to an
all-cash offer to allay any concerns
about its stock price.
CHS runs about 130 hospitals in
fast-growing and non-urban markets,
while Tenet’s 49 hospitals are in ur-
ban and suburban markets. CHS pur-
chased the Wyoming Valley Health
Care Systemfor $271million on May
1, 2009. This month a $150 million
sale was finalized that brought three
former area Mercy Hospitals, one in
Nanticoke, one in Scranton and one
in Tunkhannock, into the CHS fold.
Tenet rejects new CHS offer
“Community Health’s latest
proposal does not reflect
our current financial posi-
tion.’’

Kansas City Southern (KSU)
Big railroads want to expand, and
tiny Kansas City Southern looks like
an attractive takeover target, says
Eric Marshall, portfolio manager of the
Hodges Small Cap fund. The com-
pany is unusual because its rail net-
work runs north-south; most go east-
west. Kansas City Southern also gets
almost half its revenue from Mexico.
Its economy grew nearly 6 percent in
2010 and is expected to grow nearly
5 percent this year. Larger train
operators like CSX do all of their busi-
ness in the U.S. Kansas City
Southern’s earnings are expected to
rise 31 percent this year. The stock is
up 17 percent this year.
Chip Cutter, Francesca Levy, Elizabeth Gramling • AP SOURCES: FactSet; Morningstar Returns through May 6
Soaring railroad and trucking stocks have helped the Dow Jones
transportation average reach a milestone that the Dow Jones
industrial average is still working toward – a record high. The index of
20 railroads, shipping companies and airlines made it to 5,514.87 on
April 29. It fell as the entire market plunged last week, but is heading
back toward its record. The transportation average is up 7 percent this
year. The Dow is up nearly 10 percent.
Freight haulers were hit hard by the recession. But growth in the
manufacturing industry over the past two years has lifted their revenue
and profits. Financial analysts suggest investors look beyond the big
names like trucker J.B. Hunt and railroad Norfolk Southern. Here are
two companies they recommend:
Transportation
stocks on the go
Vitran (VTNC)
Vitran is a small Canadian
trucker that’s little known
among U.S. investors. It’s
growing quickly and adding
more routes in this country. Its
first-quarter revenue rose by
18 percent from a year earlier.
Dahlman Rose analyst Jason
Seidl expects Vitran stock to
reach $22 per share over the
next year. That’s a 40 percent
increase from its current price.
Profits at small truckers like
Vitran can fluctuate because
they can’t buy and sell trucks
as quickly as larger companies
to meet rising or falling
demand. But Seidl says the
potential gains from the stock
are worth the risk.

The bank’s reverse stock split went
into effect, raising share prices by
10 times. But the stock fell through-
out the trading day.
The nation’s largest restaurant food
distributor’s quarterly profit rose 4
percent. That beat expectations of
Wall Street analysts.
The meat processor’s quarterly
profit was flat because higher feed
costs offset improving demand and
higher meat prices.
Commodities prices recovered some of last
week's losses. That helped lift stocks in energy
and raw materials companies despite new worries
about Greece's debt problems. The S&P 500 rose
0.5 percent. The Dow rose 0.5 percent. The Nas-
daq rose 0.6 percent. Financial stocks were the
only industry group to fall. Citigroup Inc. fell 2.7
percent on its first day of trading after completing
a one-for-10 reverse split. Better sales pushed
other companies higher.

In Education program, contact Alan K. Stout at 829-7131.
Your commitment to The Times Leader Newspapers In Education program does
more to educate children throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania than simply place
newspapers in classrooms. It helps foster literacy, and throughout the school year
the program provides teachers with monthly periodicals on current events and
access to special online lesson plans. The NIE program is also responsible for the
presentation of the annual Times Leader/Scripps NEPA Regional Spelling Bee.
Thank You!
Thanks to these businesses and civic-minded organizations,
area students use what they read in the newspaper to advance their education.

I have many
friends this
week. Since we
have a chance to
go six straight
days without
rain (today
would make
three), I may be
tempted to climb
a mountain, beat
my chest and
take all the cred-
it. With a storm
stalled in the
north Atlantic
and a ridge of
high pressure
wedged in place
over our area,
dry northerly
winds will con-
tinue, allowing
for sunny days
and cool nights
through
Thursday. We
may even get
through Friday,
and most of
Saturday without
rain. I fear we
may pay for all
this dry weather
next week when
our rainfall is
projected to be
above normal ...
again.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be likely through portions of the
Southeast today. Some storms could be strong to severe. A low pressure system extended across the

As baby-boomers approach retire-
ment and we enter what census officials
call “thegrayingof America,” healthcare
and, in particular, the need for highly-
trained nurses will take on an even grea-
ter prominence. Wilkes University and
the Wilkes-Barre Career and Technical
Center have successful, state-of-the-art
nursing programs which offer area stu-
dents the education and clinical training
required to meet the ever-growing de-
mand for quality health care.
Wilkes University opened its new
School of Nursing in 2010 to train stu-
dents across a variety of curricula and
specialties rang-
ing from a four-
year RN, Bache-
lor of Science
through ad-
vanced degrees
in Master’s level
and Doctoral
programs.
“Wilkes has
the first inde-
pendent school
of nursing in the
area,” said Dr.
Mary Ann T.
Merrigan, associ-
ate dean and
chairwoman of
the school of
nursing. “The re-
cent addition of
our doctoral pro-
gram makes us a
comprehensive
learning facility,
which reflects
the university’s
commitment to
professional
nursing educa-
tion.”
Merrigan said the admission process
is very selective and the curriculum is
challenging. Admission statistics show
that 160 applications were approved
across all nursing levels out of the 260
submitted. In fact, the school of nursing
had the highest number of deposits uni-
versity-wide.
“We have one of the best nursing pro-
grams right here in our own backyard,”
saidCarmenBowerof Kingston, asenior
nursing student at the school. “I wanted

ical instructors are great. They’re always

lorence Nightingale be-
lieved her divine calling
in life was to be a nurse.
Born to a wealthy lan-
downer in 1820, she grew
up in a world of opulence
and finery. Much to her mother’s dis-
may, however, she turned her back on
the privileged life and taught herself
the art of nursing. During the Cri-
mean War, she cared for wounded
British soldiers in European military
hospitals.
Dubbed “The Lady with the Lamp”
because of her habit of making
rounds at night, Florence set an ex-
ample of compassion and excellence
in patient care. Bearing no children of
her own, she gave birth to the profes-
sion of modern nursing as we know it
today. More than 30 years after her
death at the age of 90, the first Na-
tional Nurses Week was observed in
1954 in honor of Nightingale, mark-
ing the 100th anniversary of her mis-
sion to Crimea.
It takes a special person to be a
nurse. Terri Kelley, of Dallas, has
seen her share of joy and sadness as a
registered nurse in the Obstetrics
unit at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center.
“It’s a rewarding job, but it’s not al-
ways rocking babies,” she said.
Happiness filled the air inside the
homey private suite on the third floor
Obstetrics unit at Geisinger one re-
cent afternoon. Cradling her 1-day-
old daughter, Aubrey, Brooke Mizen-
ko, 30, of Pittston, said she appreciat-
ed the convenience of staying with
her baby in the same room she la-
bored and delivered in. Aubrey’s fa-
ther, Corey, 37, agreed.

Despite threats from state
funding cuts and proposed
changes to school nursing educa-
tional requirements, school nurs-
es are proving to be an important
part of students’ academic lives.
The school nurse is the first
medical person a student will see
when injured or ill. Today, many
public school nurses are juggling
administering medications to
children through pick lines, tra-
cheostomy tubes, monitoring
diabetes cases and creating curri-
culumto promote good nutrition
and healthy lifestyles.
According to nationwide sta-
tistics released fromthe National
Associationof School Nurses, on-
ly 45 percent of schools have a
full-time nursing staff, 30 percent
have part-time nurses and 25 per-
cent are without school nurses.
“It would be sad for the com-
munity if school nurses did not
exist,” said Linda Burd, certified
school nurse for the Dallas
School District’s elementary
schools in Dallas.
Besides meeting the current
health needs of students, school
nurses take an active role in pre-
venting and reporting communi-
cable diseases such as head lice,
chickenpox or staph infection
outbreaks, Burd said.
Some districts such as Greater
Nanticoke Area and Wyoming
Valley West have their certified
school nurses shiftingtodifferent
school buildings throughout the
week. If thecertifiedschool nurse
is in one building, a registered
nurseprovides coverageinanoth-
er.
Wyoming Valley West School
District has six certified school
nurses andfour licensedpractical
nurses to cover nine buildings.
They also cover private and paro-
chial schools including, Good
Shepherd Academy in Kingston,
Graham Academy in Luzerne,
Apple Tree Nursery and Primary
School in Forty Fort, Wyoming
Seminary Lower School in King-
ston, and the Wyoming Valley
Montessori School in Kingston.
The difference between being
a certified school nurse and a reg-
ister nurse is 24credits innursing
school. This three-year certifi-
cate is awarded by the Depart-
ment of Education, said Laura
O’Malley, Dallas School District
nursing department supervisor
and certified school nurse.
“It is a specialty,” O’Malley
said. “The extended practicumis
necessary to refine nursing skills.
You cannot rely on a second opin-
ion.”
A proposed U.S. Senate Bill
802 would abbreviate training re-
quirements for school nurses.
O’Malley and Sandy Najaka,
nursingcoordinator withGreater
Nanticoke Area and a certified
school nurse, disagree with the
proposed bill, stating the special-
ized training received from the
certification prepares them to ef-
fectively handle the mental and
physical wellbeing of the student
population.

Registered nurse Linda Zaneski
believes the fieldof nursingis filled
with exciting opportunities and re-
wards. The Edwardsville resident
is thedeputynurseexecutiveat the
Department of Veterans Affairs
Medical Center, which serves
more than 40,000 veterans in 19
counties throughout Pennsylvania
and southern New York.
“You can work in a helicopter or
an emergency room, the field is so
open and with so many opportuni-
ties,” Zaneski says.
In her nursing administrator
role, Zaneski is responsible for
staffing levels throughout the facil-
ity to ensure patients receive prop-
er care. Zaneski says the VA is for-
tunate because the turnover rate is
very low and staffing is adequate.
She encourages her nursingstaff to
seek advanced certifications in
their specialties. This advanced
training has served to improve the
quality of care at the Plains Town-
ship center.
Zaneski is also excited about ad-
vancements in the technology
coming to the VA. The facility
plans to open a Cardiac Catheter-
ization Lab and a newstate-of-the-
art Hemodialysis Center. Previous-
ly, veterans had to travel to other
facilities for catheterizations. The
VA has a full-scale operating room
for major and minor procedures
and recently hired another ortho-
pedic surgeon to assist with the
large volume of cases. Zaneski also
notes that the VA offers special
programs for members of the mil-
itary who are serving in current

hours, 5-6 days a
week. When the year was over, I felt more fexible and my cardio improved. I joined
to improve those but I had also joined to lose weight and I did! One whole pound,
you read it right - One WHOLE POUND in a year.
Just recently I joined another local gym, CLOUD9 PERSONAL TRAINING, in
Drums. I joined for the same reasons, fexibility, cardio and weight loss. It has been about
90 days and I am more fexible, my cardio is better and my confdence and strength are
improving daily. I am still working out about 1-1
1

2
hours a day, 5-6 days a week. 90 days
is about 1/4 of a year. So based on my prior experience, I should have lost a

but I haven’t. I’ve lost 20lbs! You read it right, 20LBS.
Anything worth having is worth working for.....
So stop playing around. Get serious. Stop in and see what Cloud9 has to offer. I know
what a difference it has made for me.

“The baby definitely seemed
to bond better.” The fourth
floor of the hospital is being
renovated to include 15 addi-
tional rooms to handle postpar-
tum, postoperative and other
women’s health issues. The
unit is expected to open in July.
The level of neonatal care at
Geisinger Wyoming Valley and
Nesbitt Women’s and Chil-
dren’s Center at Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital is classified
as Level I, which provides post-
natal care to healthy newborns
and stabilizes babies who are
born premature or ill until they
can be transferred to a facility
that can provide a higher level
of care. Currently, when a baby
who needs additional interven-
tion is born at Geisinger
Wyoming Valley, he or she is
airlifted to Geisinger’s Level II
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
in Danville. But by October, the
hospital will be able to care for
neonates in its new NICU, a
separate building that will be
connected to the obstetrics
unit and accessed by a hallway.
Donna Stancavage, a regis-
tered nurse and operations
manager of the obstetrics unit
at Geisinger said she has seen a
lot of changes since she began
her career at the hospital 30
years ago. Stancavage, Drums,
said new technology such as
central monitoring has greatly
improved the level of care pa-
tients receive. Both hospitals
have taken extra security pre-
cautions by fitting newborns
with electronic bracelets. If a
baby gets too close to the exit
door, an alarm sounds and the
doors lock automatically.
Many of the new mothers
Stancavage cared for in her ear-
lier years have come back with
their daughters to witness the
birth of grandchildren.
“I’m seeing the generations,”
she said. “It’s such a rewarding
specialty. If you are a really
good labor nurse, your patient
never forgets you.” Stancavage
said the unit couldn’t run as ef-
ficiently without such a skilled
staff.
“If you find a dedicated OB
nurse, she’s here until she re-
tires or wins the lottery.”
Rosalie Sawchak of Swoyers-
ville, decided at the age of 16 to
become a nurse, when she saw
how well her aunt cared for her
dying grandmother. “When I
saw what she did, I knew I
wanted to help sick people,”
she said. With only three days
to go before graduating from
Wyoming Valley West High
School in 1968, Sawchak en-
tered Nesbitt Hospital’s School
of Nursing. After receiving her
high school diploma, Sawchak
dove into the rigorous three-
year program that continued
through the summers. While
doing rotations in the obstet-
rics unit as a nursing student,
Sawchak said she knew she
found her specialty.
“I saw these new lives come
into this world and knew I
wanted to help moms with
their babies.”
Sawchak, a registered nurse
and clinical director of obstet-
rics and pediatrics at Wilkes-
Barre General Hospital, recalls
one life-changing experience.
An expectant mother of twins
was brought into the unit from
her doctor’s office because she
hadn’t felt her babies move for
a while. Ababy boy was deliver-
ed first, but had complications.
His sister was delivered next
but also had a lot of problems.
She had no heartbeat and
wasn’t breathing, Sawchak
said. As the doctor worked on
the baby boy, he gave Sawchak
instructions on howto treat the
infant girl, who was intubated
to open her airway.
“I had the stethoscope and
heard the baby’s heart rate go
from a slow ‘thump, thump’ to
a normal heart rate,” Sawchak
said.
“I still get chills when I think
about how we were able to take
a baby from the brink of death
and bring her back to life.”
Sadly, the baby boy died.
Sawchak recalled how, two and
a half years later, that same
mother came back to the hospi-
tal to deliver another child.
The little girl she helped save
was with her mother and doing
fine.

Donna Stancavage, RN, checks the schedule in the Obstetrics unit at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center in Plains Township. She has seen many changes in nursing during her 30-year
career.
Terri Kelley, RN, says working
in the nursery on the third floor
at Geisinger Wyoming Valley
Medical Center is rewarding.

conflicts. These programs help
servicemen and women assimi-
late back into civilian life and
they offer follow-up care.
Multi-tasking and sometimes
juggling are needed to balance
her career and family, Zaneski
says, but her enthusiasm for the
field of nursing is evident. Her re-
sponsibilities at the VA require
her to wear multiple hats. She al-
so is the acting chief of geriatrics
at the Community Living Center
at the VA. The CLC is a 105-bed
assisted-living center. Zaneski is
very proud of the CLC for the ex-
cellent care that is given to the
veteran residents and the active
lifestyleaffordedthemwithactiv-
ities suchas hockey games, bingo
and parties.
Qunito P. Rossi, 89, a resident
at CLCfor the past twoyears says
he is well cared for by the staff.
Rossi is a veteran of World War II
and former prisoner of war in
Germany. Rossi had been treated
as an outpatient at the VA for
years prior to becoming a resi-
dent at the CLC.
But not all nurses affiliated
with the VA work in the hospital
or assistant living facility.
Registered nurse Beth Ann
Morio of Lehman Township is al-
so a nurse at the VA, but her role
with the facility is very different.
Morio is a home-based primary
care nurse. She has been with the
VAfor the past18years after serv-
ing as an army medic in Saudi
Arabia during Operation Desert
Storm. Morio is part of a team
consisting of physical therapists,
occupational therapists, social
workers and pharmacists who go
to veterans’ homes and evaluate,
educate and care for veterans
who are unable to travel to the
hospital or one of the VA clinics.
Advances in electronic records
and monitoring devices have
made this program more effec-
tive. The electronic technology
links the hospital services and
services from other veterans’
medical facilities to give the pa-
tient the best care possible. The
programalso has a 24-hour triage
nursing service to give veterans
medical advice.
Morio and Zaneski are proud
of the work being done at the VA
medical center and are excited
about the field of nursing.
“Nurses now are involved in
more critical thinking and play-
ing a role in decision making,”
says Zaneski.
“Nursing is diverse; it is one of
the best career options out
there.”

stand the need unless you spend
the day in our shoes,” Najaka
said. “We deal with students and
their families with health, social
and mental issues.”
Beth Blaum, a head nurse for
Wyoming Seminary Upper
School in Kingston, said since
her student population lives on
campus, her situation is a little
different from a public school.
“Independent schools, such as
Wyoming Seminary, do not re-
quire certification,” Blaum said.
With17 years of school nursing
andtriage experience behindher,
Blaum is able to meet the imme-
diate needs of the school’s stu-
dent population. Shedoes not see
cases of students with pick lines
andtrachs likethepublic schools,
but assists students in illnesses
and injuries.
“We have a physician who is
available to us every day, based
on need,” she said.
With the high costs of health
care, Najaka and O’Malley said a
number of students and families
rely on the public school nurse to
advise whentosee a doctor about
an illness.
Donna Martin, head of nursing
for the Wyoming Valley West Dis-
trict and a certified school nurse,
said in addition to giving acute
care, “you also have to be a social
worker.”
“Every student who walks
through my door has a problem;
something going on,” Blaum
said. “Afailed math test that they
do not want to tell Momand Dad
about or Mom was diagnosed
with breast cancer and they can-
not get home.”
Sometimes students just need
someone to listen and a shoulder
to cry on, Martin said.

Bower said she recently accept-
ed a position with Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center
andplans tostart workimmediate-
ly after graduation.
“We’relikeafamilyhere,” Bower
said. “I plan to continue my educa-
tion and work toward my master’s
here at Wilkes.”
Student exit interviews reveal
job placement numbers for gradu-
ates of the school are extremely
high and a large percentage of stu-
dents find employment in NEPA
following graduation.
“I actually talked with two stu-
dentsfromotherstateswhoplanto
relocatetotheareatoaccept jobof-
fers this summer,” says Merrigan.
“That’s adefiniteboost toour local
economy.”
“We’ve created a high-tech nurs-
ing program with a 21st century
skill-set,” Merrigan added.
“There’s no other profession that
offers such a wealth of opportuni-
ties as nursing, both in and out of
the hospital setting.”
In Plains Township, the Wilkes-
Barre Career andTechnology Cen-
ter’s Licensed Practical Nursing
program graduates more than 100
nurses each year.
“Our programserves many pur-
poses,” said Marybeth Pacuska,
the director of practical nursing at
the school. “We prepare our stu-
dents to enter the workforce and
earn a great living serving the peo-
ple inour community. Andwe pro-
videthemwithastrongfoundation
to continue their education
through our strong articulation
agreements withTheUniversityof
Scranton and Wilkes.”
Tuition for WBCTC’s one-year
LPNprogramis $12,500 including
books, supplies and fees and finan-
cial aid is available to qualified stu-
dents. “Many of our current stu-
dents are already CNA’s (certified
nursing assistants) who are work-
ing with elderly patients at long-
term care facilities in the area,”
says Pacuska. “In fact, many of
those facilities assist with the cost
of tuitionforstudentsseekingtheir
LPN.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a bet-
ter school,” says WBCTC student
Christina Koprowski of Wanamie.
“There’s always someone to help.
Someonetooffer awordof encour-
agement.”
Koprowski, who works part-
time with mentally-challenged
children, has already been offered
full-time employment upon gradu-
ation.
“I keep telling myself, ‘I can do
this,’” says Koprowski adding “I
now have faith in myself because
my instructors showed faith in
me.”
Koprowski saida number of stu-
dentsweresingleparentsor unem-
ployedandthat thepromiseof are-
warding and secure career was a
great incentive for the students to
succeed.
“I’ve been in nursing education
for over 50years,” Pacuska smiled.
“AndI’mextremelyproudof thedi-
rect impact our LPNs have had on
our community.”
“It’s my fondest hope that we’ll
continue for another 50 years.”

Dr. Mary Ann T. Merrigan, associate dean and chairwoman of the
Wilkes University School of Nursing, says the admission process
is very selective and the curriculum is challenging.
“We have one of the best nursing programs right
here in our own backyard. I wanted to be a nurse
since I was a child so when I graduated from Bishop
Hoban, I knew I wanted to go to Wilkes.”

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: “Little
Bit Lonely” (March
26) misses traveling
since her husband’s
death. She wrote
that she isn’t “good
at mingling with
new people” and
wondered if it would be appropriate
to ask her son to include her on week-
end trips with his family.
I want to urge “Lonely” to go to
her local community college and
take classes for seniors. Take any
class she might have dreamed of as a
young woman. Make friends. Expand
her horizons!
I had breast cancer 18 months
ago. The day after my surgery, I took
stock of my life and decided if I was
to follow my childhood dream, what
better time than now? I am doing
that, and have begun studying voice
and theater arts. Do I aspire to be
another Helen Reddy or Helen Mir-
ren? No, but I intend to have fun
while I take the journey of the rest
of my life.
Let me say to her, “Don’t be a
‘little bit lonely.’ Be a little bit too
busy!”
— Not at All Lonely,
Santa Rosa, Calif.
Dear Not Lonely: Thank you for an
inspiring letter. Other readers shared
creative ideas for “Lonely” that might
help her set her sails in new direc-
tions. Read on:
Dear Abby: “Lonely” should organize
a trip (even just a weekend jaunt)
and invite her son and family along.
That would give the son the oppor-
tunity to reciprocate her invitation,
which could lead to a new family
tradition.
— Gayle in Kansas City
Dear Abby: My dad passed away
eight years ago, and Mom has been
on her own ever since. She has
become a savvy traveler and has
made numerous friends along the
way. “Lonely” should look into
churches, travel agencies and cruise
companies for trips for senior singles.
“Lonely” does not need to be alone.
My mom goes places with family
and is close friends with my mother-
in-law, too. One or two trips, and
“Lonely” should be able to find a few
good friends.
— Proud of My Brooklyn Mom
Dear Abby: Here’s what I’d tell
“Lonely”: Take a course in self-devel-
opment. Programs are available
for developing skills and learning
to live life from the perspective of
“possibilities.”
Do something for someone in a
nursing home or visit Alzheimer’s
patients. Read to them or just hold
a hand. When you get a smile from
these patients, you’ll know your
presence really makes a difference.
Join the Red Hat Society. Most of the
members are alone and have a great
time together.
Volunteer at church, teach Sunday
school, work with the homeless in a
shelter. Do something for someone
who has less. Our world needs people
with warm hearts and the time to
contribute. You will be amazed at
how great you’ll feel.
— Lorraine in Encinitas, Calif.

quested — poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus

ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Implement timesaving strategies,
and rid yourself of activities that
take you away from your goals.
A Virgo or Libra can help you set
up your personal business in a
way that will serve you for years
to come.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
love it when something new
comes into your world, but you
also know it is best to be careful
with things you know nothing
about. Your inexperience makes
you vulnerable.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A battle
goes on inside of you. It seems
that you are the only witness to
this struggle, but this is not the
case. Someone is so in tune with
you that he or she can look into
your eyes and know what you’re
going through.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
will be involved in a project that
captures your full attention and
transports your mind, body and
spirit to a level of awareness
from which there is no going
back.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your atten-
tion goes to updating your look.
Your desire to be perceived in
a certain way may lead you to
retail outlets.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Why you
choose one direction instead of
another is a mystery. You defy
the laws of marketing and laugh
in the face of persuasion. You
definitely have your own mind.
Many will try to predict your next
move; none will succeed.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Play
it cool. Don’t tell all you know
or show all you have. Offer a
glimpse and hold back the rest.
Let others know you’ve held
something back in as nonchalant
a way as you can muster.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). How
can you take a relationship to
more splendid levels? You will
accomplish this aim, mostly
because you have the creativity,
curiosity and moxie that it takes
to ask this question.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
You’ll connect with a part of
your past. Maybe you’ve let go of
certain grudges and moved past
some old opinions. But there’s
still a kind of electrical charge
when you touch on this part of
your history. It may surprise you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
like to think that when you love
someone, you give everything.
But when you think about how
this plays out in practical terms,
it may not add up completely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Brief
conversations are favored. If
you’ve stopped talking but your
audience is still listening, that’s a
good sign. You can always carry
on with this later.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re
on a sort of mission. You’ll have
to be your own cheerleader.
A distant image of the future
you seems to be coming nearer
every day as you grow into the
person you want to be.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 10).
Persuasion and negotiation are
strong suits for you this year.
Whether for personal gain or on
behalf of your business or family,
you win people over and make
deals in June with great finesse.
Cancer and Libra people adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 14,
46, 48, 42 and 22.

PRAYER TO THE
BLESSED VIRGIN
(never known to fail)
Oh, Most Beautiful
Flower of Mount
Carmel, Fruitful
Vine, Splendor of
Heaven, Blessed
Mother of the Son of
God, Immaculate
Virgin, assist me in
my necessity. Oh
Star of the Sea, help
me and show me
herein, you are my
Mother. Oh Holy
Mary, Mother of
God, Queen of
Heaven and Earth, I
humbly beseech
you from the bottom
of my heart, to suc-
cor me in this ne-
cessity. There are
none that can with-
stand your power.
Oh show me herein
that you are my
Mother. Oh Mary
conceived without
sin, pray for us who
have recourse to
thee. (Say three
times). Holy Mother,
I place this cause in
your hands. (Say
three times). Holy
Spirit who solves all
problems, light all
roads so that I can
attain my goal. You
who gave me the
divine gift to forgive
and forget all evil
against me, and that
in all instances in my
life you are with me,
I want this short
prayer to thank you
for all things, as you
confirm once again,
that I never want to
be separated from
you in eternal glory.
Thank you for your
mercy towards me
and mine. The per-
son must say this
prayer three con-
secutive days. After
three days, the
prayer shall be
granted. This prayer
must be published
after the favor is
granted. ~S.M.
