HEAT FLY, PACERS LIMP

MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James scored 30 points, Dwyane Wade added 28, and the Miami Heat moved a win away from the NBA’s semifinals with a 115-83 victory over the hurting Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night. The Heat lead the bestof-seven East semifinals 3-2, with Game 6 in Indiana on Thursday night. Indiana Pacers starting forwards Danny Granger and David West both were injured. Granger left with a sprained left ankle in the third quarter, and West left with what the Pacers called a left knee sprain at the end of that period. Page 1B

Suspected meth lab raided
from Geisinger South WilkesBarre Medical Facility, which remained open, said Geisinger spokesman Matthew Van Stone. Patients who kept their appointments at the facility had to find another road because Church Street was closed for most of the day. Authorities said Jeffrey Deyo, 41, and his son, Jeffrey Deyo, 18, will be arraigned this morning in Wilkes-Barre Central Court. A 16-year-old girl also was in the house when it was searched. Their clothes were removed and they were given one-piece plastic outfits to wear. The girl’s name was not released. Soprano said they will be charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and other offenses. The state police clandestine team arrived to safely remove dangerous and toxic chemicals from the house.

WILKES-BARRE – City police and drug agents with the state Office of Attorney General raided a house on Church Street on Tuesday morning and found a working methamphetamine lab in the basement, officials said. Attorney General Regional Director John Soprano said methamphetamine was cooked about an hour before armed agents stormed 80 Church St. just before 10:30 a.m. Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis called it “disturbing” that a methamphetamine lab was located in a highly populated area. “It is a very populated area

in the middle of Wilkes-Barre city,” Salavantis said. “If something could have gone wrong in that house, how many people could have been injured or killed because of this lab.” Soprano said children, in-

cluding an infant, lived in the house, but were not home at the time when agents served a search warrant. He believes methamphetamine was being produced in the house for four to five months. The house is about 80 yards See METH, Page 14A

HARRISBURG — A Republican-penned bill that would pave the way for state takeovers of Pennsylvania school districts veering toward financial collapse has the support of Gov. Tom Corbett and began advancing in the legislature on Tuesday over the objections of Democrats. The Senate Education Committee voted along partisan lines to send it to the full Senate in The bill also the hopes the prohibits a bill will reach school district the governor’s from seeking desk before the federal bank- legislature takes its tradiruptcy protional twotection. month summer break from Harrisburg. The legislation is being spurred by fears of a wave of collapsing districts and is being fasttracked so it can receive quicker consideration in the House if it passes in the Senate. It would replace a piecemeal approach used in the past for struggling districts, and would immediately affect four districts: Duquesne, Harrisburg, York and Chester-Upland, which sued the state in federal court in January after it threatened to shut down due to lack of money. Democrats attacked the bill as a backdoor move to bust teachers’ unions and hand schools to private operators in districts already hamstrung by cutbacks in state aid and threadbare local tax bases. But Education Committee Chairman Jeffrey Piccola, R-Dauphin, defended it as the only alternative to continuing to throw money at failing districts. “It is taking on the responsibility ... the constitution gives to this General Assembly to provide ‘a thorough and efficient system of public education,’ and I don’t know how else to do it,” Piccola told committee members. Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery, contended the only place the state will find savings to right the district’s finances is by forcing staff to take pay cuts — ensuring teacher turnover and making it all but impossible

Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton told county council he’s finding “land mines” in the county’s 2012 budget that will force spending cuts to end the year without a deficit. “The situation is serious. It may turn out not to be catastrophic, but it will be serious,” Lawton said after his financial update to council Tuesday night. “It’s evident we have significant financial concerns.” Lawton told council spending and revenue are in line with first-quarter expectations overall, but he’s finding significant pockets of overspending that will

WILKES-BARRE – Letter carrier Brian Walski cringes when he hears barking dogs on his route in Wilkes-Barre Township. So do his co-workers Mary Beth Etzel and Barbara Valazquez. All three postal workers said they have been bitten, chased and terrorized by dogs while delivering mail to addresses. With the warm weather settling in, they fear the attacks will increase. “There are 43 dogs on my route, and out of that 43, there are probably 11 or 12 that I would consider to be vicious,” said Etzel, a letter carrier for 14 years delivering in WilkesBarre. “I have a neighborhood that is extreme-

WASHINGTON — Uncle Sam may not want you after all. In sharp contrast to the peak years of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the Army last year took in no recruits with misconduct convictions or drug or alcohol issues, according to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press. And soldiers already serving on active duty now must

meet tougher standards to stay on for further tours in uniform. The Army is also spending hundreds of thousands of dollars less in bonuses to attract recruits or entice soldiers to remain. It’s all part of an effort to slash the size of the active duty Army from about 570,000 at the height of the Iraq war to 490,000 by 2017. For a time during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army

lowered its recruiting standards, raising the number of recruits who entered the Army with moral, medical and criminal — including felony — waivers. Recruits with misdemeanors, which could range from petty theft and writing bad checks to assault, were allowed into the Army, as well as those with some medical problems or low aptitude scores that might otherwise have disqualified them.

WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell declined Tuesday to renew the presidential endorsement he gave Barack Obama four years ago, saying he wasn’t ready “to throw my weight behind someone” at this time. The former chairman of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff and Cabinet member under President George W. Bush demurred when asked if he was backing Obama again. A longtime GOP figure, Powell caused a stir in Republican political circles four Powell years ago by endorsing Obama over war hero Sen. John McCain, calling Obama a “transformational figure.” Not so this time, Powell said on NBC’s “Today” show. At least, not yet. “It’s not just a matter of whether you support Obama or (Mitt) Romney. It’s who they have coming in with them,” he said. Pressed to say why he was holding back on giving Obama his blessing a second time, Powell said: “I always keep my powder dry, as they say in the military.” He said Obama had “stabilized the financial system” following the deep recession of 20082009 and had “fixed the auto industry.” Powell also said he thought the country was on the right path toward ending the war in Afghanistan. But he also said he thought Obama needed to work more on the economy and said he thought that he owed it to the Republican Party to listen to the proposals that likely nominee Romney will be offering, particularly on the economy. Powell said he’s “still listening” to Republican ideas, calling Romney “a good man.”

Restraint restriction OK’d
Senate Bill 817, which restricts the use of restraints on juveniles during court proceedings, unanimously passed the state Senate on Tuesday and now awaits the signature of Gov. Tom Corbett to become law. Sponsored by state Sen. Lisa Baker, RLehman Township, the bill would prohibit Baker the use of restraints on juveniles unless they are needed to prevent physical harm to the child or another person or if the child, displayed by a previous history, is a significant threat to disrupt or flee the courtroom. The bill is one of several that were spurred by the findings of an Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice that was seated to investigate the state’s juvenile justice system after a corruption scandal in Luzerne County.

SCRANTON — With a proposed affiliation with The University of Scranton now off the table, The Commonwealth Medical College must move forward into an uncertain future. It’s a future that finds the school continuing as an independent while still negotiating with potential affiliation partners. Meanwhile, the school remains on probation from the Liaison Committee

ey to help the school meet shortfalls. Though no dollar figure was given, Matrisciano said Tuesday that it could be about $50 million. “We just agreed to offer assistance to them if they needed it,” he said, adding that he did not believe any of the funds had been released to the school as of Tuesday. While that money remains untapped, the more pressing issues are getting off the probationary list, which could happen this summer, and continuing to look into affiliating itself with another organization. An affiliation with a college or hospital, or health care system or another medical school has been viewed as an

option that could benefit the medical school in a variety of ways, mostly financially. “We’ve been in contact with a lot of different potential partners,” Greene said. Monday’s announcement closed the door on one potential partner. “After careful thought and thorough analysis assisted by national experts, we have decided to end affiliation discussions and commit ourselves to strengthening and expanding the various forms of collaboration that have marked our relationship since TCMC was founded,” read a statement issued jointly by the

Bidders need train car plan
The high bidders for a train car at the Market Street Square complex in downtown WilkesBarre will have 30 days to decide if they want to remove the car in one piece or dismantle it, Luzerne County officials said. If the bidders — Jim Williams Jr. and Lawton his father, Jim Williams Sr. — want to pursue on-site dismantling, they must obtain an environmental inspection report to determine if the car contains asbestos or other hazardous materials, said county Manager Robert Lawton. The county Redevelopment Authority, the property owner, will review the selected option and determine if the bid will be accepted or rejected. The Williams, owners of a Lackawanna County metal recycling business, bid $5,000 and want the car for its scrap value.

DALLAS – Standing near a proposed hiking/bicycling trail route that would wend its way between several tombstones in the Sacred Heart Cemetery, Mary Jean Tarantini urged families who have plots on the property to contact Diocese of Scranton officials and request the trail be rerouted away from “this sacred place.” “We are very concerned and shocked that this has been planned for eight years and not one plot owner knew about it” until recently, Tarantini said. Tarantini was joined by more than 30 people collectively calling themselves the Concerned Families of Sacred Heart Cemetery. She said they did not know about ongoing discussions for a potential trail right-of-way through the cemetery until

reading about it in a newspaper last December. The proposed trail is an extension of the Back Mountain Trail, which primarily follows an old railroad bed south of the cemetery. The

Trail Association’s goal has long been to extend the trail to the Dallas School District campus further north, and to Misericordia University, to encourage students to walk to and from school or to oth-

er commercial locations in the area. In fact, as Tarantini spoke, a group of youngsters she said were Dallas students walked along the higher edge of the cemetery. Tarantini said the bulk of the proposed trail would run along the western, or bottom, edge of the sloping cemetery, which likely would be acceptable, but it then turns and runs directly between some tombstones before veering north and onto an old, unused wooded roadway. Tarantini and others said they do not want the risk of people walking over graves or littering as they go by. “My baby brother died in 1947,” Nancy Balent said, pointing to a patch of graves

State police investigated the deadly shooting at Eagle Ridge Barnes inside Building 6 on Lawrence Street, where they found Daron Rhasha Trollinger, 26, behind the apartment building with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Luzerne County Acting Coroner William Lisman. According to affidavit of probable cause filed with the charges, state police investigators spoke with Barnes in Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center’s emergency room, where he was treated for a gunshot wound. Since then, his whereabouts are unknown. State police believe gunfire erupted during a marijuana purchase in the Eagle Ridge apartment building. According to the criminal complaint charging Barnes with criminal homicide: A witness to the shooting told investigators that Barnes and two other people walked to the apartment building to meet Trollinger to buy marijuana. Barnes stayed outside while Trollinger and the two other people, who are not identified in the criminal complaint, walked into the building near a rear exit door. Trollinger told the two people he was dropping the price to $650. Barnes rushed through the door brandishing a revolver and confronting Trollinger. The two people in the building ran outside and across an athletic field, hearing gunshots as they were running, the criminal complaint says. Police said the glass rear exit door was smashed and bullet fragments were found in a stairwell. No shell casings were found, indicating to police that a revolver was used. The two unidentified people ran to Barnes’ apartment. Several minutes later, Barnes

WILKES-BARRE – Within the first few minutes of the national Click It or Ticket seatbelt enforcement program on Public Square on Tuesday, several drivers without seat belts were given a reminder. Buckle up. It’s the law. An officer from both the Wilkes-Barre Police Department and Hazleton City Police Department were on hand to pass out information packets on safety, driving under the influence and aggressive driving. “We see it pretty often,” Lt. John Leonard of the Hazleton department said of drivers without seat belts. Leonard said his department will have additional patrols out over the course of the national incentive, which runs until June 10. “We’ll be issuing citations,” he said. For adult drivers in Pennsylvania, seat-belt restraints are a secondary offense, meaning that they can be cited with not wearing a seat belt only if they are pulled over for a first offense, such as speeding. Seat-belt laws are a primary offense for teenage drivers, who can be pulled over for not buckling up. Rebecca Rybak, Northeast Highway Safety Program coordinator, said the Memorial Day holiday will be a target, as well as night-time patrols.

“Typically, (seat-belt wearing) is lower at night,” Rybak said, adding that 75 percent of enforcement happens at night. Mike Taluto, safety press officer for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said local police will be issuing warnings and adding additional patrols over the next few weeks, targeting seat-belt enforcement. “With the busy Memorial Day weekend signaling the start of the summer travel season, I strongly encourage everyone to buckle up every time, no matter how far you’re traveling,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said in a press release. “Buckling up is the easiest way to keep you and your loved ones safe; it can increase your chance of surviving a crash by up to 60 percent.”

Joplin marks year since twister
161 people who died are recalled. Survivors, medics, volunteers who helped after storm hit are honored.

JOPLIN, Mo. — A year after a massive tornado tore through Joplin, reminders of the storm’s fury are plentiful — from the glaring absence of centuryold trees in the city’s central neighborhoods to the ghostly shell of St. John’s Regional Medical Center. Residents, hospital workers and politicians gathered across the disaster zone Tuesday to mark the year since the tornado, mixing somber remembrances

with steely resolutions to rebuild the battered city, where 161 people were killed. “It is so fitting to begin this day, this anniversary, by reflecting on our faith as dawn breaks over a renewed Joplin,” Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said at a sunrise service at Freeman Hospital to honor the tornado survivors, medical workers and volunteers who sprang into action after the storm struck. “Scripture tells us that the path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Many businesses have reopened and homes are being rebuilt, but much remains to be done in this city of 50,000 near the borders of Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. The tornado, packing winds of 200 mph, wiped away entire

neighborhoods, destroyed the city’s only public high school and a major hospital, and left behind a ghastly moonscape of block after city block of foundations wiped clean of their structures. Later Tuesday, city government leaders joined residents, volunteers and state and local politicians for a 4-mile “Walk of Unity” through some of the city’s hardest-hit neighborhoods. The afternoon procession started in neighboring Duquesne, where more than one-fourth of the community’s 750 homes were destroyed and nine people died. St. John’s hospital hasn’t yet been torn down because it sits atop the mining tunnels that made Joplin an early 20th-century boomtown. The hospital has been operating out of a succes-

sion of temporary facilities while construction continues at its new permanent location, where it will reopen under the name Mercy Hospital Joplin. The city held the first of three groundbreaking ceremonies Tuesday for new schools in the shadow of St. John’s former home on land donated by the Sisters of Mercy Health System. An elementary school will be built at the site to replace two that were destroyed. A groundbreaking ceremony was planned for later Tuesday for Joplin High School, which was also destroyed. Insurance policies are expected to cover most of the $2.8 billion in damage from the storm. But taxpayers could supply about $500 million in federal and state disaster aid, low-interest loans and local bonds backed by higher taxes.

N. Korea gung-ho on nukes
Tuesday vowed to push ahead with its nuclear proN orth Korea on it called U.S. hostilgram due to what ity, as an outside analysis of satellite images suggested it has ramped up work at its nuclear test site over the past month. North Korea’s statement from an unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman came a day after a senior U.S. envoy met with high-ranking South Korean and Japanese envoys in Seoul and warned the North that an atomic test would unify the world in seeking swift, tough punishment. North Korea made no direct threat of a nuclear test and said it was open to dialogue to resolve the nuclear standoff. An analyst, Koh Yu-hwan at Seoul’s Dongguk University, said the Foreign Ministry statement was a message that “the U.S. should come to the dialogue table (with North Korea) if it wants to stop its nuclear test.” There has been widespread worry that North Korea may follow a failed April 13 long-range rocket test with a third nuclear test.

Pre-nuke talks see Iran allow UN access
Iran’s move raises pressure on West for some reciprocal gestures to keep talks alive.

A man suspected of fatally stabbing five men and wounding nine others in and around a Michigan city two summers ago was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in the first case to go to trial. Jurors rejected the insanity defense put forth for Elias Abuelazam, finding him guilty of stabbing 49-year-old Arnold Minor in August 2010 and leaving him to bleed to death after midnight on a Flint street. He faces life in prison without parole. Investigators say Abuelazam chose victims at random, and would approach them at night asking for directions or for help with his Chevy Blazer before stabbing them. The prosecutor highlighted the testimony of experts who said Abuelazam was not mentally ill at the time. It took jurors about two hours of deliberating to agree.

The SpaceX craft is heading for a rendezvous with the International Space Station.

sule into orbit. The capsule is expected to rendezvous with the space station within days, delivering a half-ton of provisions for its six crew members. It is considered just a test flight — in fact, the capsule was packed with only nonessential items, in case something went disastrously wrong — but if all goes well with this mission and others like it, commercial spaceships could be carrying astronauts to and from the space station in three to five years. “Falcon flew perfectly!!” billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, founder of the SpaceX company, said via Twitter. “Feels like a giant weight just came off my back.” Musk later told reporters: “For us, it’s like winning the Super Bowl.” Up to now, flights to the space station were something only major governments had done.

A Channel Islands auction house says it’s selling a vial that allegedly contains blood residue from Ronald Reagan — a move denounced Tuesday by the late U.S. president’s family and his foundation. The vial being auctioned online was used by the laboratory that tested Reagan’s blood when he was hospitalized after a 1981 assassination attempt in Washington, the PFCAuctions house said. Reagan’s son Michael condemned the auction but said he was confident it was not his father’s blood. The auction house on the Channels Islands between England and France said on its website that the blood vial did not come from the Washington hospital that treated Reagan but from the Bio Science Laboratory in Columbia, Maryland.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Opening a new, entrepreneurial era in spaceflight, a ship built by a billionaire businessman sped toward the International Space Station with a load of groceries and other supplies Tuesday after a spectacular, middle-of-the-night blastoff. The launch of the Falcon 9 rocket and its unmanned Dragon capsule marked the first time a commercial spacecraft has been sent to the orbiting outpost. Cutting a brilliant, fiery arc through the darkness, the rocket lifted off just before 4 a.m. and smoothly boosted the cap-

tions. “Every launch into space is a thrilling event, but this one is especially exciting,” said John Holdren, President Barack Obama’s chief science adviser. “This expanded role for the private sector will free up more of NASA’s resources to do what NASA does best — tackle the most demanding technological challenges in space, including those of human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit.” NASA is looking to the private sector to take over flights to the space station now that the space shuttle has been retired.

Security concerns divert flight to Maine
By GLENN ADAMS Associated Press

A Connecticut hospital facing a lawsuit by a woman who says she was severely injured when she fell off an operating table after surgery says it deeply regrets what happened and apologized to the patient. Attorneys for Florence Fiedler, 81, of New Canaan filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Yale-New Haven Hospital. The lawsuit says Fiedler had a pacemaker implanted in February 2010 and fell off the table after the surgery. Her attorneys say she suffered fractures of the hip and collarbone, a traumatic head injury that resulted in bleeding under her skull and other injuries. The lawsuit alleges the hospital improperly left Fiedler unattended.

Surgery table fall spurs suit

NEW HAVEN, CONN.

BANGOR, Maine — A US Airways jet traveling from Paris to North Carolina was diverted to Maine on Tuesday after a French passenger handed a note to a flight attendant mentioning that she had a surgically implanted device, raising security concerns, officials said. An examination by doctors aboard the plane found that the passenger, a French citizen born in Cameroon, had no scars, U.S. Rep. Peter King said. The woman was traveling alone without any checked baggage and intended to stay in the U.S.

for 10 days, he said. The FBI and Homeland Security Department warned airlines last summer that terrorists are considering surgically hiding bombs inside humans to evade airport security. Two F-15 fighters scrambled to escort Flight 787 with 179 passengers and nine crew members to Bangor International Airport, where it landed shortly after noon Tuesday. With the passenger in custody of law enforcement, the Boeing 767 was cleared several hours later to continue to its final destination in Charlotte, N.C.

The Transportation Security Administration issued a statement saying it was aware of “a passenger who exhibited suspicious behavior” during the flight. “Out of an abundance of caution, the flight was diverted to (Bangor) where it was met by law enforcement. The passenger in question is being interviewed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers,” said TSA spokesman Sterling Payne. The plane was met by state, local and federal law enforcement officers when it landed in Bangor, FBI spokesman Greg Comcowich said.

BAGHDAD — Iran made the first move Tuesday in attempts to gain an edge in nuclear talks with the U.S. and other world powers: It agreed in principle to allow U.N. inspectors to restart probes into a military site suspected of harboring tests related to atomic weapons. The tentative accord — announced as envoys headed to the Iraqi capital for negotiations — is likely to be used by Iran as added leverage to seek concessions from the West on sanctions. But U.S. officials have shown no willingness to shift into bargaining mode so quickly, setting the stage for possible tense moments after talks set for Wednesday resume in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone. Still, Iran’s move raises the pressure on the West for some reciprocal gestures to keep dialogue on track and further highlights Tehran’s apparent aims of opening a long give-and-take process over its nuclear ambitions. A major breakthrough in the impasse was not expected in Baghdad, with officials and experts saying both sides will seek to demonstrate enough progress to keep the process moving forward. That could cool down worries in international markets over possible military action, but reinforce the suspicions of Israeli leaders who claim Iran seeks only to buy time to keep up its production of nuclear fuel. Iran’s envoys, meanwhile, promoted the Baghdad round as an opportunity to set aside past obstacles. “That is the basis for the beginning of a new cooperation,” said Saeed Jalili, the top Iranian nuclear negotiator, who arrived in Baghdad late Monday. A senior Western diplomat in Baghdad said sanctions on Iran’s oil exports, set to take effect July 1, likely pushed Tehran to the bargaining table. “I don’t think the Iranians are coming to these talks because they suddenly changed their minds about anything. They are coming to these talks because sanctions are beginning to bite,” the diplomat said in an interview this week with The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations candidly.

medical college and The University of Scranton. “While disappointed in this outcome, we move forward with mutual respect, having reinforced our connection through this process.” The release was signed by Kevin P. Quinn, president of The University of Scranton, and Dr. Lois Margaret Nora, the dean and interim president of TCMC. Stan Zygmunt, a University of Scranton spokesman, declined additional comment other than to say the medical school approached the university about an affiliation, not the other way around. Greene said that, “While disappointed in this outcome, TCMC is moving forward to educate future physicians with options -some of which include remaining independent or forming an affiliation with other partners.” Who those other partners could be is a short list. Other local colleges have indi-

cated they’re not interested in an affiliation and with two dominant health care systems in the region, Geisinger and Community Health Systems, Inc. “It’s not us,” said Jim McGuire, spokesman for Wilkes-Barre General Hospital, part of the Commonwealth Health System owned by CHS. “We are not talking with them.” Ditto for Geisinger. “Geisinger plays a huge role in training the physicians of tomorrow, including the provision of clinical experiences for Commonwealth Medical College students at both Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center and Geisinger-Community Medical Center,” said Geisinger spokesman Dave Jolley. “We do not envision expanding our relationship with Commonwealth Medical College without the involvement of the University of Scranton in a leadership role.” Blue Cross issued a statement Tuesday repeating its support and belief in the medical college. The school has had some successes: It has graduated 93 students in its three years, moved in-

to its new building along Pine Street and has received numerous grants and funds for research projects, including a $1.25 million grant from the National Institute of Health to fund breast cancer research. But it also has had some growing pains, in addition to the probation it’s been placed on. The medical college, which opened in August 2009, announced layoffs last year -- citing financial problems stemming from the $4 million drop in state funding, the estimated $120 million cost of the school’s permanent building that opened last fall and a drop in donations. In addition to the financial struggles, the school also dealt with the abrupt departure of its first president, Dr. Robert D’Alessandri, who left in April 2011. No reason was given for his leaving. None of this has been enough to scare away perspective students. Greene noted that TCMC has received nearly 4,600 applications for the MD class of 2016.

obert Joseph Polachek, Sr., 79, of Plains Township, passed away Sunday, May 20, 2012, surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren following a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. He is survived by his loving wife, Theresa Rakowski Polachek (Rocki), who was at his side for 47 years. Born in Wilkes-Barre on August 7, 1932, Bob was a son of the late Joseph Polachek and Helen (Kraynanski) Zeldenrust. Following his graduation from James M. Coughlin High School, Bob held several positions before becoming a school bus driver at Williams Bus Line. He retired in 2005 after 32 years of services to Williams Bus Line. A man of few words, Bob rarely complained and lived a complete life, always enjoying his family and a good game of cards. As a result, he will be greatly missed by his children, grandchildren, family and his countless friends. Bob’s kind demeanor, genuine humbleness and his ability to endure all that life gave him was what defined him as a truly good man. In his better days, Bob was known for his quick step and quest for simple pleasures like a game of golf, a hand of cards or watching a rerun of “M*A*S*H*.” He was an avid high school sports fan, driving the students of Wilkes-Barre Area to hundreds of sporting events over the years. Bob’s genuine love for life was evident in everything he did and was only overshadowed by his love for his wife, his children, 16 grandchildren, 2 great-grandchildren, his family, and many friends. In addition to his wife, Bob is survived by his six children: Robert Polachek, Kingston; Richard Polachek, Esquire, and his wife, Colleen, Moosic; Chris Polachek and his wife, Brenda, Saint Joseph, Mo.; Jay Polachek and his wife, Paula, Hanover Township; Judge Tina Polachek Gartley and her husband,

COURT BRIEFS
WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne man was sentenced Monday to two to four years in state prison on charges he threatened a county judge, county sheriff’s deputies and in another incident, assaulted a woman. William O’Donnell, 45, of Main Street, was sentenced on five counts of terroristic threats and one count each of resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and simple assault by county Judge William Amesbury. O’Donnell also received two years of probation. According to court papers, in October 2009, a woman reported to police that O’Donnell grabbed her by the throat and punched her in the face several times. In a May 2010 incident, sheriff’s deputies said O’Donnell was acting disorderly while at the Luzerne County Courthouse and threatened to shoot them and Judge Tina Polachek Gartley. WILKES-BARRE – A Tamaqua man pleaded guilty and was sentenced Monday to 12 months probation in a case in which prosecutors say he falsified payroll sheets for services provided through the Anthracite Region Center for Independent Living. Thomas Ryan Katalenas, 23, of Hunter Street, pleaded guilty

to a charge of theft by deception and was sentenced by County Judge David Lupas. Katalenas must also complete 25 hours of community service. According to court papers, Sandra Katalenas was receiving care through the ARCIL and by her nephew, Thomas Katalenas, in early 2009. In August 2010, workers at ARCIL began noticing pay periods for which checks were signed by Thomas Katalenas, but his signature did not match with previous payroll checks. Investigators later learned that Sandra Katalenas was submitting falsified payroll sheets, totaling more than $2,000, for just under a year. Sandra Katalenas also pleaded guilty to related charges and received 18 months probation. WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth man pleaded no contest Monday to a charge relating to a case where prosecutors say he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl over a one-year period. Edmund Smith Jr., 45, of East Main Street, entered the plea to a charge of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse before county Judge David Lupas. A no-contest plea means a defendant does not dispute the charges brought against him or her. Lupas said Smith will be sentenced after an evaluation by the state Sexual Offender’s Assessment Board, which will determine whether Smith is a sexual-

ly violent predator. Smith will be required to register his address under Megan’s Law for his entire life. According to court papers, in May 2011, a then-13-year-old girl told police she and Smith began talking in the spring of 2010, and that during the course of their contact, had sexual encounters about 12 times. WILKES-BARRE – A city man charged with throwing objects at vehicles driving on Interstate 81 in August 2011 waived his right to formal arraignment in county court Tuesday. Samuel Gensel, 20, of Ridgewood Drive, waived the arraignment, entering a plea of not guilty to a number of charges,

including an unrelated driving under the influence case. Gensel will next be scheduled for a pre-trial hearing. According to court papers, police said Gensel and Robert Dalessandro, 21, of North Street, Plymouth, were charged with causing more than $11,000 damage after they threw rocks, potatoes, plumbers putty and other items at vehicles on Interstate 81 near mile marker 172 in August 2011. Dalessandro is awaiting arraignment on related charges. Gensel also faces charges relating to a Nov. 16 incident where police say he was driving under the influence in Kingston Township. Police said Gensel had a blood-alcohol level of .102 percent.

records. According to the criminal complaint by state police: A clerk at the Mobile service station reported a man, identified as Strohbach, walked into the store and asked to use the phone. Strohbach spoke in a foreign language for about seven minutes before hanging up, asking the clerk to delete the phone number he called. Strohbach kept one of his hands in a pocket while demanding money from two

cash registers. State police traced the phone number Strohbach called to his mother in Queens, N.Y. She told state police her son told her he would be home in several hours. When he did not appear at her house, she called the Mobile service station looking for her son. Surveillance video allegedly recorded Strohbach driving his mother’s 2008 Lexus to the service station, using a telephone inside the store and the clerk removing money from the register. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on June 27 before Dotzel.

Recovery concept drawings show a changed Shickshinny
Long-term plan comes from more than 2,000 hours of effort by volunteers.
By MATT HUGHES [email protected]

“What we need is other people’s money, because we’re tapped as a small town. And other people’s money is people coming here to open a business; people moving here to build a home.”
Brian Phillips ShickshinnyForward President

SHICKSHINNY – The concept drawings in Shickshinny’s flood recovery plan show a community vastly different than the one that stands today. A central park with fountain and manicured gardens welcomes visitors at the town’s central intersection. Modern multistory condominiums line Shickshinny Creek, their balconies overlooking a new “creekwalk” trail. A large recreational complex with athletic fields, tennis courts and pavilions replaces development along the borough’s flood-prone riverfront. Shickshinny’s Long-Term Community Recovery Plan, unveiled at a community meeting Tuesday evening, is the culmination of more than 2,000 hours of effort undertaken over the past 6 months by community volunteers under the guidance of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. ShickshinnyForward, the volunteer group that developed the plan, was founded in November through a special FEMA program that offers cost-free guid-

ance and consulting services to communities so damaged by natural disasters that their future existence is threatened. Starting with visioning sessions and community meetings, the group attempted to identify what Shickshinny residents wanted to preserve in their 150year-old town as well as what they hoped to see it become. “Some of them said they want jobs, some of them said they wanted different types of housing, one kid said they wanted a McDonalds in Shickshinny,” ShickshinnyForward Secretary Michael Grier recalled.

Through those sessions, ShickshinnyForward identified 15 long-, medium- and shortterm priorities to rebuild Shickshinny in a manner that lessens the risk of damages from future floods while spurring growth in the community. “This town will be alive and it will be prosperous; it won’t be the same again ever,” Mayor Beverly Moore said. “…Will it be better? I hope so. Will it be worse? We can’t look any worse than we look right now. We have to look for the positive, because that is what this is all about… With all the hope and the direction we’ve been given, we can do this. We can never forget that we can do this.” Municipal authority members honored in Lehman Twp. LEHMAN TWP. – As a token of appreciation for years of dedicated service, the supervisors presented plaques Monday to members of the township municipal authority. The authority, which formed in 1985, manages the township’s sewer system. The authority will be disbanded in the near future, and the billing and collection services will be handled by the Dallas Area Municipal Authority. The Lehman Township Municipal Authority members are Walter Blejwas, Harold Haefle, Rowland Ritts, Herbert Woodeshick and Brian Dunn. In another matter, Scott Carter of 42nd Street asked the supervisors what he’d have to do to purchase a lot adjacent to his home. The parcel has an abandoned modular home on it. “It’s an eyesore and it’s dropping the value of my property,” he said. “There’s no foundation and it looks like it’s going to fall over.” Supervisor Dave Sutton said he’d investigate the matter and get back to him.” Supervisor Doug Ide said he’s looking into a computerized mapping system for the road

The group will begin by focusing its efforts in the following six areas: • Addressing the community’s desire for more senior, multifamily and mixed-use housing through housing-renewal programs • Developing sustainable recovery strategies focusing on building private-sector partners, community programming and grant-writing, • Speeding economic recovery by using the town’s outdoorrecreation amenities to attract businesses and identifying strategies to market Shickshinny for development, • Incorporating ShickshinnyForward as a 501(c)3 charity and department that would indicate the locations of street signs, cross drains and other information. He added that 42nd Street would be paved within the next two weeks, followed by Slocum Road. The supervisors announced that Marian Deangelis, who was appointed part-time township secretary last November, will become full-time on June 4. Deangelis, whose new title will be assistant secretary/office manager, volunteered to create the township’s first website in 2006. Information such as ordinances and permits, as well as email addresses for each of the supervisors, will be available next month. Currently, the township has two websites: www.lehmantwp.com and www.lehmanpa.com. Both domains are usable at this time and link to each other. “We think it’s time we have someone in the office on a daily basis,” said Sutton. “We’re very happy with what she’s done for us.” Camille Fioti Pittston Twp. to fund detour while train crossing fixed PITTSTON TWP. – At their monthly meeting Monday, the Board of Supervisors announced

hiring a land-recovery manager, • Updating planning, zoning and codes to promote safe and sustainable development that accounts for the risk of flooding, • Beautifying the town by cleaning up remaining flood debris, tree planting, public art and home and storefront beautification. ShickshinnyForward envisions the town capitalizing on its walkable layout, riverfront amenities and ample opportunities for outdoor recreation, making it a regional hub for recreation. “We wouldn’t be here if we didn’t believe in you,” ShickshinnyForward board member Dale Freudenberger told the assembled community members. “We believe in Shickshinny. We really look at Shickshinny as, what is Shickshinny’s role in the region, and there is tremendous potential here in Shickshinny.” But the group also stressed that the isolated town of 838 residents won’t get there alone. ShickshinnyForward Presia proposal pertaining to a problematic railroad crossing within the township. Supervisors announced, after considering alternatives presented to them, that it was decided the township would agree to bear the cost of erecting, maintaining and controlling the detour that would be necessary to divert traffic as the railroad crossing at Oak Street is repaired. Township Solicitor Attorney John Finnerty was advised to contact the hearing judge and inform the judge of the township’s decision. However, Finnerty said this is only a proposal, and the township is awaiting confirmation that the railroad company will assume the costs of detour signage. Township Secretary John Bonita said the township expects to hear back from the railroad within two to three weeks. Supervisors also thanked Robert Mericle for the use of his time and construction equipment in renovating the Little

dent Brian Phillips put it very directly. “What we need is other people’s money, because we’re tapped as a small town,” Phillips said. “And other people’s money is people coming here to open a business; people moving here to build a home.” The recovery plan will also require sustained involvement from the community at large. “We can make Shickshinny better, but we can’t make it better without the community,” board member Clarence Lewis said. “I’d like to see some of you back again saying, where can I, when can I and how can I help move Shickshinny forward.” The group has already planned its first event towards that end. On Aug. 4, ShickshinnyForward will host the town’s first annual charity car show and motorcycle run, which organizers hope will provide much-needed seed money for projects and give visitors from outside areas their first glimpse of things to come.

Additionally, supervisors said that, in a special meeting held on April 30, the township formally accepted the retirement of officer John Rinaldi and granted his request to be placed on disability and to receive payments from the police pension plan. As a result, the supervisors advertised for resumes for the hiring of one to two full-time officers. In new business, a motion was passed requiring that all residents seeking to secure a building permit on private roads sign a permit notifying the purchaser that the township will not maintenance that road or take over ownership of the road at any time.

Man pleads guilty in Sept. flood break-in
Police say Christopher Balderston, 24, burglarized a house during evacuation.
By SHEENA DELAZIO [email protected]

WILKES-BARRE – A Hazleton man charged with burglarizing a home in Wilkes-Barre during a mandatory flood evacuation in September pleaded guilty Tuesday to related charges. Christopher Balderston, 24, entered the plea to charges of criminal conspiracy to commit burglary and theft by unlawful taking before county Judge Fred Pierantoni. Balderston and his co-defendant, Paul Chitswara, 25, of

Hazle Township, were arrested after the Sept. 9 incident during an evacuation of the Wyoming Valley when the Susquehanna River flooded parts of the area. Pierantoni said Balderston will be sentenced on July 12. Chitswara pleaded guilty earlier this month to charges of criminal conspiracy to commit burglary and criminal mischief, and is scheduled to be sentenced on June 19. According to court papers, police were patrolling an evacuated neighborhood and were approached by Chitswara and Balderston at West Ross and South Franklin streets. Chitswara, who was bleeding from

two severe injuries on his hand, told a detective he needed help. Police said the two men had inconsistent answers as to why they were loitering in an evacuated area. Balderston later admitted, police said, that they forced open a door to a home on Conwell Street and stole a laptop computer. Chitswara allegedly said he is a drifter and had no reason

for why he was in the evacuated area. Police said the two men had gloves, a utility knife, ski masks, a flashlight and a head lamp. Pierantoni said Balderston and Chitswara will be required to pay their share of more than $2,000 to the homeowner when sentenced, as well as the owner of a home the two tried to enter and damaged a door.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney won the Kentucky Republican presidential primary Tuesday, inching closer to the GOP nomination for president. With no serious opposition left, the former Massachusetts governor easily won the contest, claiming at least 32 of the 42 delegates at stake in Kentucky. Voters also went polls in Arkansas, with 33 delegates at stake in that state. Romney could win all of Kentucky’s delegates, though Texas Rep. Ron Paul, who stopped actively campaigning last week, was hovering just below 15 percent of the vote in early returns. That’s the threshold needed to win delegates in Kentucky. Romney has 1,024 delegates, leaving him 120 shy of the 1,144 delegates needed to win the GOP nomination for president. If he continues to dominate, he will reach the magic number next week, when voters in Texas go to the polls. Virtually assured of the party

nod, Romney has been in general election mode for weeks. He’s been spending much of his time fundraisRomney ing and focusing on Democratic President Barack Obama. As voters in the two Southern states weighed in, Romney planned to spend Tuesday evening at a campaign fundraiser in New York before an appearance today in Washington to deliver a speech. He is in the midst of a threeday swing through the Northeast that is expected to bring in at least $10 million. Romney has struggled in some previous Southern contests, when former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich were in the race. With them on the sidelines, Romney has an opportunity to display solid support in two states he should win in November. Even though they have left the race, Santorum, Gingrich and Paul were on the ballot in Kentucky and Arkansas. Texas, which offers 152 delegates, votes May 29.

OUR OPINION: SPEAK OUT

T

Urge W-B Area to make fresh start
S AV E T H E D AT E S
The Wilkes-Barre Area School Board is scheduled to meet at the administration building, 730 S. Main St., Wilkes-Barre, on the following dates. All sessions begin at 6 p.m. • Thursday: Special meeting • June 1 1: Work session • June 13: Regular meeting

HE OSTRICHES ON the Wilkes-Barre Area School Board, who keep their heads firmly planted while pretending all is well in this district, soon will have a critical decision to make. They can conduct a far-ranging search for the district’s first new superintendent in nearly two decades, only to pick a “safe,” in-house candidate – a familiar someone who is part of this urban Luzerne County school system seemingly in fast decline due to the toxic influences of corruption and cronyism, plus challenges posed by a swiftly changing student body. And the ostriches can further embarrass themselves while announcing this decision by trotting out tired lines about how their new super has “invaluable know-how” about the district’s operations. How she or he is “uniquely qualified.” Can “hit the ground running.” Blah, blah, blah. Or the embattled WilkesBarre Area School Board – reformers, ostriches and all – can choose to do the right thing: hire a high-caliber candidate with no ties to the district. The first choice would foster even more public distrust. By contrast, hiring someone with no ties to the district will signal that the latest incarnation of the WBA School Board

wants to rid itself of the dark cloud of suspicion. The first choice most likely would result in a continuation of past practices and, regrettably, pathetic outcomes. By contrast, hiring someone with no ties to the district more readily opens the door to new ideas, dramatic change and the most realistic chance for improvement. Bottom line: The first choice is unacceptable. The nine men and women serving on the board need to get that message in the days and weeks ahead, hearing repeatedly from concerned parents and guardians, taxpayers, students and other people familiar with the district’s recent, high-profile failings. Encourage the board’s members to hire someone with no ties to the district, no axes to grind, no debts to repay. Urge them to find a proven superintendent with a track record of reorganization. Help even the ostriches to see the light of a new day.

Can Greek yogurt rescue dairy farmers in need of aid?
WITHOUT ANY reservation, yogurt sales are spreading like wildfire, and much of this can be credited to the Greek yogurt plant in South New Berlin, N.Y. The increase of sales in yogurt reminds me of the influence that mozzarella cheese had on the dairy industry when mozzarella started booming more than 40 years ago. The increased sale of mozzarella cheese along with pizza sales has played an important role in the dairy industry for many years. Yogurt has been around a long time. However, it’s very apparent that the new Chobani yogurt plant is a main reason for the increase in sales. I have been in more than 30 grocery stores conducting benefits for our farming organization. Some things I observe is: 1) Chobani yogurt does not contain the controversial milk protein concentrate (MPC) and 2) Chobani yogurt does not contain the super controversial high-fructose corn syrup. The majority of other yogurt brands do contain MPCs and/or high-fructose corn syrup. One must ask this: Where would all of the milk that Chobani uses be consumed otherwise? One federal official tells me that the Chobani plant in central New York State is now considered to be the largest milk manufacturing plant in the East. Some people claim that the Chobani plant is not helping New York dairy farmers. However, not only is the Chobani plant helping

COMMENTARY
ARDEN TEWKSBURY
New York dairy farmers, the plant also in our opinion is helping dairy farmers in surrounding states – including Pennsylvania. If the Chobani yogurt plant did not exist, then the majority of this milk might end up in butter-powder plants, which in some cases already are busting at their seams with milk. Having the yogurt milk classified as Class II milk does help dairy farmers. Some dairy farmers question the milk that comes into the Chobani plant. Evidently the Chobani officials made a business decision to go for a full supply contract with dairy cooperatives. This is understandable. But, dairy farmers living a few miles away from the plant watch their milk going scores of miles to other facilities! This scenario is not new. If you notice in your supermarkets, you will find that many of the competitors of Chobani are running sales, sometimes at ridiculously low prices such as 33 cents for a 6 oz. container. Overall, this type of undercutting of prices will not last forever, as the Chobani Greek yogurt sales continue to climb. We must be realistic. It certainly is great to see increased sales of many dairy products. Where do dairy farmers rate with increased sales of dairy? If dairy farmers can’t come close to covering their costs, and cer-

QUOTE OF THE DAY “President Obama refuses to accept moral responsibility for his failed policies.”

OTHER OPINION: EDUCATION CUTS

W

Reserve funds won’t fix schools

tainly in most cases not showing a profit, then it won’t matter how milk and milk product sales are increased; the average dairy farmer is still in serious trouble. The answer, to us, is very simple: There has to be a new raw milk pricing system that gives a dairy farmer a chance to cover his or her cost and gives the farmers an opportunity to obtain a profit. I have analyzed every dairy proposal and dairy bill, and for the life of me I don’t see any proposal that’s going to give our dairy farmers the price they need except Senate Bill 1640, the Federal Milk Marketing Improvement Act. Remember, S. 1640 combines all manufactured milk into one class at the same price (Class II). Some people ask, will S. 1640 establish too high of a price for manufactured milk? The answer is no. During 2011 the existing Class II price was more than $20 per hundredweight (cwt.) for five different months. Turning back the pages to 2007 will show the Class II price was more than $21 per cwt. for five months, with August coming in at $22.40 per cwt. The latest national average cost of production for 2011 has been announced at $23.40. So you see, S. 1640 is very much in line with what the market will bear. It’s time all dairy farmers move ahead with a new pricing formula, and not be misguided by false proposals.

E’RE TIRED OF politicians advising us to patch gaping holes with BandAids, especially when that advice comes from the man who made those holes. Gov. Tom Corbett took another shot at education during a recent radio interview in Philadelphia, saying public schools should dip into their reserve funds to deal with ongoing budget deficits. Reserve funds could patch some of our area school districts’ problems this budget season. The Carlisle Area School District approved a preliminary budget Thursday night that draws on $500,000 from its reserve fund to help keep a tax increase at 0.9 percent. According to The Associated Press, more than 70 percent of school districts in the state have dipped into their reserve funds this budget season. Meanwhile the problems keep

coming for school districts. Corbett’s proposed state budget this year keeps education funding flat, but it eliminates a $100 million grant that helps underwrite full-day kindergarten. This comes at a time when troubled school districts in Harrisburg and York are considering eliminating kindergarten programs, a crushing blow for education and our children’s future. Reserve funds aren’t the answer to an ongoing problem, one that will be exacerbated by the cost of pension obligations that will increase steeply over the coming years. This isn’t all Corbett’s fault. He’s just the guy with the ax chopping away at a state budget that faced a steep deficit. But it would be more comforting to us to know the governor and the school districts were on the same page and working together to invest in the future of our children.

s there anyone who can disprove the theory that liberals are lacking some mental faculty prohibiting historical, logical and mathematical rationale from factoring in on the thought process? We see it in Pennsylvania with wasted entitlement and fat pension programs. California’s recycled Gov. Jerry Brown has stated that California’s financial situation is in worse condition than during the Depression era. He’s raising taxes beyond their already exorbitant rates, subsequently causing industry and jobs to flee the state in record numbers. Yet he’s pushing for construction of a multibilliondollar bullet train in which a person would have to drive one-third the distance to Las Vegas, park their car in the middle of the desert and pay to take the train the balance of the distance – adding only inconvenience and cost, and shaving little time from the trip. In other words, it’s a boondoggle destined for failure that puts the state even further into bankruptcy. Governors such as New Jersey’s Chris Christie and Wisconsin’s Scott Walker

know that previous elected officials sold their souls and our financial futures for votes with entitlements and ridiculous pensions. Both governors understand tough decisions must be made to avert the financial doom being experienced across Europe. We must tighten our belts, tough it out and stop whining like spoiled children who’ve had privileges revoked. The future of our country depends on it. During World War II, families had to sacrifice dearly for the betterment of humanity, and the world was a better place for it. At least, it was until unscrupulous politicians sold us all out for votes or an easyout, avoiding the nation’s tough fiscal decisions by simply giving away the farm

ig-spending Republican congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino recently were called out by a major Republican/tea party group (“Club for Growth flunks reps. Barletta, Marino,” May 16). These guys said all kinds of stuff about controlling spending in the last election, but inside the Beltway they do what their masters on K Street tell them to do. It’s almost election time again. Now we’ll see the guys come crawling out of the Beltway with the dirty campaign cash and sell more bills of goods to the flock in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I think the choice is clear come November. This 11th District Republican is voting Democratic top to bottom. I’m a white guy who has given up on the racism, sexism, homophobia and big-spending party until it evolves, too.

Every day should be about dog bite prevention.” Walski carries the physical and emotional scars from his attack by a pit bull on Dec. 12. He said he was bitten a dog that was on a leash being walked by its owner. “I was walking down the street making deliveries and I turned around to go back to the street and I crossed paths with a gentleman walking a pit bull,” Walski explained. “The owner said ‘Don’t worry, he won’t bite.’ As soon as he said that, the dog lunged at me and I felt a pinch and looked down and my hand was just all blood.” Walski said the man took off with his dog after he was bitten. Walski made it back to his postal truck, placed towels around his hand, and returned to the Wilkes-Barre Post Of-

fice on South Main Street, where his supervisor rushed him to an emergency room. Walski underwent surgery and rehabilitation before he returned to work two months after the attack. “I was told in the hospital that I was lucky just to get out of there with a torn-up hand,” Walski said. Etzel said she has been bitten in the ankles by a Chihuahua and was recently pinned

against a fence on South Welles Street by a German shepherd that rushed out of a house. “Thank goodness I had my satchel or that dog would have did some damage,” Etzel said. “I warded him off with the satchel; he was going after my legs.” Valazquez, a letter carrier for eight years delivering to 816 addresses in Wilkes-Barre, said she had knee surgery af-

ter she twisted her leg when running from a charging pit bull on Oct. 4. Shortly after she returned to work on Dec. 9, two pit bulls chased her in her postal vehicle, biting its tires. “It’s terrible that customers leave their doors open,” Valazquez said. “If you have a dog in the house, lock the doors.” Valazquez said she places her foot against a door when depositing letters in a mailbox to prevent a rushing dog from opening the door. Walski said as recently as two weeks ago, a pit bull rushed at him, forcing open a locked gate to a fence. “I pulled my mace out and the dog just froze,” Walski said. “The owner came out and called the dog back. I had to sit in my truck for a few minutes to collect myself after that.” Wilkes-Barre Postmaster Leticha Vazquez-Yenzer said letter carriers can suspend deliveries to a house if they feel threatened by a dog. “It doesn’t matter what type of dog it is, any dog can bite. Our letter carriers want to do their job safely,” Vazquez-Yenzer said.

METH
Continued from Page 1A

The Wilkes-Barre Fire Department had an engine on Church Street in the event an explosion took place. Tim Doherty, state deputy attorney general, said fire departments are frequently placed on standby when suspected methamphetamine labs are searched. Chemicals used to manufacture methamphetamine are flammable and highly explosive. Toxic residue from the cooking process saturates everything it comes in contact with and can remain on surfaces for months. Since chemicals can be inhaled, ingested or absorbed through the skin,

anyone coming in contact with instruments or tools used to produce methamphetamine can exhibit symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness and burns, according to a state police community awareness bulletin about methamphetamine. Soprano said the suspected meth lab on Church Street is the 22nd lab located in Luzerne County in the last 12 months. The state police awareness bulletin states 20 meth labs were found in Luzerne County in 2011, the most among 26 counties listed in the bulletin. The next highest was Columbia County, with 15 meth labs discovered last year. “We’re having a major issue with people coming in to manufacture methamphetamine and thinking they can get away with it,” Salavantis said. “We’re cracking down.”

to attract talented teachers to work for lower pay in a challenging district. “We’re completely destroying the standards of the profession, and we’re completely destroying the opportunity of our kids to have a quality education by doing that,” Leach said. Piccola predicted the bill will pass the Senate, but did not know how the Republican-con-

trolled House would react to it. A spokesman for House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, said the chamber’s leadership had just received a copy of the bill and would look at it. The governor’s secretary of legislative affairs, Annmarie Kaiser, provided a letter of support for the bill to Piccola and his Democratic counterpart on the Education Committee, Andrew Dinniman, D-Chester. “When local school districts cannot or will not make these decisions on their own, the state

Junior Seau’s suicide is troubling NFL players. No one knows precisely why the 43-year-old Seau shot himself in the chest at his oceanfront home May 2, less than 21⁄2 years after the end of his Pro Bowl career as a linebacker. What is clear — and cause for concern among other players — is that he reached some serious depths of despair. “To see a guy like that, in such a dark place, to take the action he did ... makes you think about life after football and what it’s like, and what you’ll be going through, “As soon as when that time comes, mentalsomething ly,” said Colts linebacker A.J. like that Edds, who is enhappens, tering his second NFL seayou start son. “This calling all might have your friends been what people needed to to make open their eyes sure they’re a little bit about what might OK, just happen down checking on the road.

Hopefully that’s one silver lining — that it might help other guys keep from getting to a place like that.” In 40 interviews with The Associated Press during the last two weeks, many players voiced growing worry about the physical and emotional toll professional football takes. Seau’s suicide resonated among the13 rookies,17 active veterans and 10 retirees, with more than half of each group saying it pushed them to consider their future in the sport or the difficulties of adjusting to post-NFL life. It’s one thing to read about hundreds of guys they’ve never heard of suing the league because of neurological problems traced to a career long ago. It’s quite another to find out about Seau, a charismatic, recent star for the Chargers, Dolphins and Patriots who played in the Super Bowl. “The difference with Junior for many folks my age or younger is that I played against Junior a bunch. He was a peer. It’s more impactful. Not to suggest I had a great friendship with Junior or knew him off the field. I didn’t. It’s simply closer to home for me than a guy who played in the ‘70s or ‘80s,” said Pete Kendall, a

Choman homers in 7th to carry Royals

WILKES-BARRE — Chris Ritsick took Christian Choman aside before the biggest swing of the day. The message was simple enough. The Holy Redeemer coach told his slugger to stay patient and not try to do too much with each pitch. “He’s a kid who puts a lot of pressure on himself to take the team on his back,” Ritsick said. “And I just wanted him to go up there and relax.” Batting with two outs in the top of the seventh of a tie game, Choman did just that. When a 3-1 fastball ended up too high in the zone, Choman sent it sailing out of the park and was mobbed at home plate for his heroics. The senior’s two-run homer broke a lengthy tie and gave Holy Redeemer a 3-1 win over Meyers in Tuesday’s first round of the District 2 Class 2A tournament at Gibby Field. Choman, who helped the Royals Holy Redeemer’s Joel Peterlin rounds reach the district final in each of the last third base after hitting a home run two seasons out of the clean-up spot, Tuesday against Meyers.

had made solid contact in his first atbat. But the ball went to deep center, allowing for enough room to make the catch in front of the fence. So when the game-winning shot came off his bat, Choman wasn’t positive he got enough of it. “When it first went off the bat, it was just – run like a bat outta hell down the first-base line,” the Iona recruit joked. “Hopefully it drops. But then I saw as I kept going (around first) that it went over the fence. “Just a sigh of relief for me and the whole team.” Home runs by Choman and Joel Peterlin made the difference for the 12thseeded Royals (6-10), who advanced to Thursday’s quarterfinals against Mid Valley. Pat Condo threw six innings of twohit ball for the win, striking out eight. Will Cavanaugh came on for the save in the seventh. No. 5 Meyers ended its season at 7-6,

NEW YORK — Robinson Cano homered, Phil Hughes beat Kansas City for the second time this month and the New York Yankees — still looking to bust out with the bats — eked out a 3-2 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night. Derek Jeter delivered a bases-loaded single that tied the score in the fifth inning and New York rallied from an early two-run deficit to snap a threegame skid. Shut out Monday in the series opener, the Yankees (22-21) went 2 for 7 with runners in scoring position, one night after they finished 0 for 13 in those situations for their worst performance with RISP since 1990. Hughes (4-5) gave up five hits in six innings while striking out seven, beating Royals right-hander Luke Hochevar (3-5) for the second time in 17 days.

Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon moved Pena up from the middle of the lineup to the leadoff spot in an attempt to help him break out of an offensive funk. Pena, who snapped an 0 for 18 slide on his sixth homer of the season, entered Tuesday hitting just .116 in May. Pena’s homer to center off Drew Hutchison (3-2) was estimated at 452 feet. He finished with two hits in five at-bats.

HEAT
Continued from Page 1B

Miami, which had gotten into quick deficits in each of the first four games, was the team that started hot in Game 5, running out to a 19-8 lead on the strength of three 3-pointers from Battier — who had been 2 for 19 from the field in the first four games of the series. Battier left his mark in many ways, even stopping a 3-on-1 Indiana break to set up a score by Wade at the other end. But much like the Heat did in Game 4 when Indiana threatened to turn things into an early runaway, the Pacers settled down in a hurry. The Pacers made Wade see blood early on, a couple of early flagrant fouls reminding everyone that these teams don’t seem to like each other much. Tyler Hansbrough struck first, hitting Wade on a play where the 2006 NBA finals MVP wound up with a cut over his right eye, simi-

lar to what Haslem received at Indiana in Game 4. So Haslem retaliated against Hansbrough not long afterward, earning a flagrant-1foul that left the Pacers saying it should merit a flagrant-2 and automatic ejection. Even after facing the big deficit, Indiana even had two shots to tie or take the lead late in the first half, the second of those a 3-point try from Granger with 3:03 remaining. It didn’t go down. He did. Granger landed on James’ foot after the shot, spraining his left ankle and leaving the game. The Heat outscored Indiana 8-2 the rest of the half, with James — who had been guarded by Granger for much of the series — scoring seven of them. He opened the burst with a 3pointer, stole the ball from West and dunked for a seven-point lead with 26 seconds left, then capped the half by coming up with a defensive rebound, passing to Wade, getting the ball back just before the halftime horn sounded and laying it in to send Miami into the break

with a 49-40 edge. Granger tried to play in the second half, lasting about 3 minutes before realizing his ankle wasn’t going to let him continue. X-rays were negative, which was about the only piece of good news for Indiana. By then, Indiana was ailing, and Miami was rolling. James leaned back to catch a slightly wayward pass from Chalmers near the Miami bench, then firing it in one motion to Wade for an easy score as the reigning MVP toppled atop Heat assistant coach Ron Rothstein. Mike Miller even made the crowd roar for defending Leandro Barbosa and forcing a missed 3-pointer late in the quarter — the highlight there being Miller played for about a minute while missing one sneaker. When Granger left, it was 56-45. By the end of the quarter, Miami’s lead was 76-57, and the Pacers were down another starting forward as well. West left at the end of the period and also headed to the locker room, diagnosed shortly afterward with a sprained left knee.

Melissa Cruz, Holy Redeemer Cruz’s district championship in the 800 locked her spot as the No. 4 seed at a 2:17.05 time. She will also compete in the 3200 relay for the Royals.

KINGSTON – Down to their final three outs of the season Coughlin showed its resolve. Trailing by a run entering the seventh, the first three Crusaders got hits to spark a four-run rally, giving No. 11 seed Coughlin a 9-6 win over No. 6 Honesdale in the District 2 Class 3A softball tournament Tuesday. “We’ve been working hard all year,” Coughlin coach Alice Lyons said. “We didn’t get 10-runned all year, we’ve been in every game. Our record doesn’t reflect how well we’ve played.” Liz Ellsworth led off the seventh with a single and Marissa Ross followed with her third hit of the game. Following a pitching change, Lori Masi followed with an RBI single, plating Ellsworth to tie the game. With Ross on third and Masi on second, Danyelle Schweit ripped a shot back through the circle. Honesdale pitcher Mackenzie Dielan stabbed it and looked to have Ross for an easy out at home. As Ross slid, Dielan’s throw home went right to the screen for an error. Jess Luton fanned six and allowed four earned runs while picking up the victory. The game was played at Kirby Park because of poor field conditions in Honesdale. Coughlin plays at No. 3 North Pocono on Wednesday.

OAKLAND, Calif. — The U.S. men’s eight boat is Olympic-bound — at last, and after a grueling, monthslong wait. The boat was among three crews from the United States that secured their places at the London Games by winning races at the last-chance Olympic qualification regatta on Tuesday in Lucerne, Switzerland. The eight faced most unusual circumstances this year, as this marked the first time in modern Olympic history the Americans had failed to qualify this boat in the world championships.

Izaguirre wins Giro’s 16th stage
The Associated Press

FALZES/PFALZEN, Italy — Jon Izaguirre of Spain won the 16th stage of the Giro d’Italia on Tuesday while countryman Joaquin Rodriguez kept the overall lead. Izaguirre had been in the lead group most of the day. He broke away on the final sharp climb of the mainly uphill 108-mile course from Limone sul Garda to Falzes/Pfalzen. He finished in 4 hours and 2 minutes. Rodriguez was 8 minutes, 57 seconds behind. This is Izaguirre’s first win on a grand tour. He finished 16 seconds ahead of Alessandro De Marchi and Stef Clement. Wednesday’s 17th stage sends the Giro to the Dolomites mountain range. The 116-mile route features four tough climbs before the final descent into Cortina d’Ampezzo. The Giro ends May 27 in Milan.

don’t let down.” In fact, the Blue Knights were unstoppable as Granger notched four goals and Kristen Mericle hit three with two assists. Ann Romanowski and Amanda Schwartz each registered three goals with Lexi Quick and Ceci Norris getting two apiece. Rebecca Schulman also scored, while keeper Sally Mooney was near perfect in goal with 10 saves. “I just moved into the middle of the arc and Lexi Quick found me,” said Granger of the opening dagger. “Our plan was to keep possession and pass it around.” “We made the right passes,” added Kersey, “we showed great skills.” The Blue Knights had a 13-1 advantage at the half as Kersey substituted freely. “It happened so fast that I think we got frustrated,” said MiddWest coach Lonnie Wagner, whose District IV champion’ Mustangs finish the season at 12-5. “I wish it been a closer, but teams like Wyoming Seminary are a little out of our league. They are very good.” Officially advancing to states, Wyoming Seminary (13-7) will now face the second seed from District 3. Manheim Township (23-0) and Cocalico (19-2) will play Thursday for the District 3 championship.

some,” Myslowski said. “This was definitely the most important, hardest match we’ve played all year and it was so important to stay intense for 75 points.” Redeemer will shoot for its second straight district crown Thursday against Western Wayne at Scranton High School. The Wildcats knocked off Lackawanna Trail 25-22, 2520, 25-17 on Tuesday. The thirdplace match between the Trojans and Lions will begin at 5 p.m. on Thursday. The championship contest will begin 30 minutes after the first match. “They’re an extremely scrappy team. Nothing ever hits the ground on them,” Redeemer

coach Jack Kablick said about Western Wayne, a team they faced in a tournament earlier this season. “They’re flying all over the court trying to keep it alive, trying to force the other team into errors if they can.” To go along with his 10 kills, Myslowski – who was just one of several key players for Redeemer – added 16 assists, two aces and three service points. Senior setter and hitter Rob Wingert also had a big game for the Royals piling up a matchhigh 17 kills, 19 assists, six service points and one ace. All three games were close and were a one-point difference until Holy Redeemer went on late runs to win each contest. The first game consisted of seven ties and was a two-point difference at 20-18 in favor of the Royals until a pair of kills by Myslowski, one from Wingert and one from Mike Prociak

(seven kills) lead to the end of the game. The only leads North Pocono held were by one, with the final one at 11-10. The Trojans were on the verge of winning Game 2, up 2423. But Kablick called a timeout to regroup his bunch. The stop in play helped because the Royals scored the next two points on kills from Wingert and Prociak to take a 25-24 lead. The decisive point came on a line violation by the Trojans. The second game was the closest with 12 ties and five lead changes. “We already beat Pocono prior to this game and we knew they were going to bring it harder than they did before,” Myslowski added. “The intensity over there was so much more than it was the last game and we had to step up just as hard as they did in order to win that.” Myslowski’s two aces started the third game to put Redeemer

ahead 3-0. The Royals wouldn’t let Pocono take a lead in the stanza and held a 15-9 lead before the Trojans rallied to even the score at 16-16 evening the score on back-to-back aces by Justin Butler. North Pocono also tied the score at 18-18. But again, the Royals ended with a run, this time a 7-3 streak to secure a berth in the district title match. “I just want to say about Dom Verdetto and Brent Bisignani, they’re two people that you just don’t stop,” Kablick noted about two of the Trojans’ top players. “You want to try to slow them down and get the sets away from them. Ryan Rinaldi did a really good job of getting them the ball tonight.” T.J. Doyle added 11 points and seven digs for the Royals, while Dylan Myslowski registered 10 points, two digs and an ace.

CLEMENS TRIAL

Juror to McNamee: ‘Why should we believe you?’
WASHINGTON — Among the 29 questions the Roger Clemens jury wanted to ask the pitcher’s chief accuser, Brian McNamee, one cut to the heart of the case. “Why should we believe you when you have shown so many inconsistencies in your testimonies?” “I won’t ask that,” U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton declared during a bench conference with trial attorneys to decide which juror questions he would read. “That’s for them to decide.” ing. I worry about how happy I am with life right now and wonder if the damage is too much to overcome. ... It’s like these brain injuries really turn you into another person,” Crabtree wrote. “It slowly chops away at your happiness. Nothing you can do about it.” He was one of a dozen players who, unprompted, mentioned brain disease or concussions in connection with Seau, even though there has been no evidence of either with the linebacker, who played from 1990 to 2009. “The obvious questions arise: Was it depression? Brain damage? I’ve been reading a lot of different articles about it. I personally believe that concussions will definitely give you some sort of brain damage. Was that the cause? We won’t know for sure until they examine his brain,” former Chargers, Dolphins and Vikings receiver Greg Camarillo said. “But it definitely makes you think, as someone who has played this sport, about the damage that can be caused.” Explained rookie receiver MoThe question makes it sound as if at least one of the jurors in the perjury case has serious doubts about the credibility of the government’s key witness against the 11-time All-Star pitcher. Or it could be that the juror believes McNamee, but wanted to play devil’s advocate just to make sure. If the World Series can have days off, so can trials of baseball players. The court did not sit Tuesday because the judge had another obligation, a timely pause following five-plus gruelhamed Sanu, chosen by the Bengals in the third round of April’s draft: “You kind of wonder about your safety and your health and wonder if you’ll be like that one day.” Players frequently mentioned that Seau’s suicide prompted heartfelt conversations with spouses or close pals. “As soon as something like that happens, you start calling all your friends to make sure they’re OK, just checking on everybody,” said Ken Norton Jr., who retired in 2000 after 13 seasons as a linebacker for the Cowboys and 49ers and now coaches that position with the Seahawks. “It just opens your eyes and makes you more aware of what each other is going through — and ask that extra question, give that extra hug, to make sure there aren’t any problems we don’t know about.” Matt Bowen, a former defensive back for the Redskins, Bills, Rams and Packers whose last season was 2006, got a telephone call from a college teammate the day Seau died. ing days of testimony from the government’s key witness. In addition, Walton’s practice, rare among judges, of allowing jurors to submit their own questions allows an unusual midtrial glimpse of how the case looks to those whose opinions will ultimately matter most. Clemens is charged with lying to Congress when he testified in 2008 that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone. McNamee, Clemens’ longtime strength coach, says he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with HGH in 2000. He is the trial’s only witness to claim firsthand knowledge of Clemens using those substances. Of course, when the World Series takes a break, it’s easy to tell who is winning. Definitive scores are kept. The first team to get four victories takes home the trophy. The subjective nature of a jury trial makes such score-keeping impossible, especially when considering that this jury cares little about baseball and knew little or nothing about Clemens at the outset.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees took advantage of the early start time and scored five times before Columbus picked up a bat, cruising to a 6-2 victory over the Clippers on Tuesday. The game, leading into an off day for the Yankees on Wednesday, started at 10:30 a.m. Ramon Ortiz (2-3), who turns 39 today, had no problem with the early start. YANKEES He earned his second consecutive win by going eight inCLIPPERS nings and allowing two solo home runs among his six hits, while striking out four. Kevin Russo led off the game with a double into right field, extending his hit streak to a season-high eight games. Steve Pearce singled Russo to third and Ronnier Mustelier got the run home with a sacrifice fly to left. With two outs, the next four hitters for the Yankees reached against Chris Seddon (4-3). Francisco Cervelli knocked in Pearce with an RBI single, and when Hazleton Area product Russ Canzler misplayed the ball in left, Brandon Laird scored all the way from first and Cervelli ended up on third base, and the Yankees led 3-0. Cole Garner followed with an RBI single and Gustavo Molina knocked in a run with a double off the wall in right center to stake the Yankees to a 5-0 edge. The Yankees (24-20) took three of four from the Clippers (21-24). Following an off day in Buffalo on Wednesday, Scranton/WilkesBarre opens a four-game series as the home team against Buffalo at Coca-Cola Field on Thursday.

JoePa earned $13.4M pension
By GENARO C. ARMAS Associated Press Writer

STATE COLLEGE — Joe Paterno earned a state pension of $13.4 million for his 61-year coaching career at Penn State. Paterno’s family said Tuesday through a spokesman that Paterno’s widow, Sue, would receive an initial payment of $10.1 million by the end of May, with the rest to be paid out over the next two years. The calculations were made through the standard formula for anyone in the State Employees’ Retirement System, and Paterno received no special consideration, according to his family. Paterno never accessed his pension. Family spokesman Dan McGinn said the Paterno family also planned to donate $1.5 million to Penn State-related or State College-area charities. Paterno died in January at age 85, less than three months after being ousted by trustees in the aftermath of child sexual abuse charges against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. Paterno began working at Penn State as an assistant

coach in 1950 before being promoted to head coach in 1966. He held Division I records for head-coaching tenure at one school and career victories, with 409. The Hall of Famer had a compensation package from Penn State worth $1.02 million last year, making him the university’s top earner, according to an open-records report released by the university in May 2011. But the formula to calculate the pension could account for no more than $240,000 in salary, the family said. The Penn State report doesn’t include compensation from outside the university that top coaches typically collect, like endorsement deals. Still, Paterno’s total compensation paled in comparison to many of college football’s other well-known coaches, especially since Penn State won two national titles under Paterno. For instance, Alabama pays Nick Saban more than $4.6 million a year, while Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops earns nearly $4 million. “Financial gain was never Coach Paterno’s top priority,” McGinn said. “He believed he

was fortunate to work with great young men at one of the country’s premier academic institutions.” Including the $1.5 million in donations announced Tuesday, McGinn said the Paternos have given roughly $9 million to Penn State or other charitable causes. That would include roughly $4 million to help in part build a campus library which bears the family’s name, and endow faculty positions and scholarships. “A commitment to give back to the community that had welcomed and supported them so fully was always a priority for Joe and Sue Paterno,” McGinn said. Out of the latest donation, $500,000 will go to the Catholic center on campus. The remaining $1 million is pledged to the Paterno Foundation, which is selling a DVD of the Jan. 26 memorial service for Paterno. The family has said proceeds from the DVD sale will go to Special Olympics — a cause championed by Sue Paterno. The foundation will also donate to other area charities.

Trainer seeks repeal of 10-year ban
A 90-day suspension grew into a decade-long barring with no new circumstances.
By MICHAEL VIRTANEN Associated Press Writer

ALBANY, N.Y. — A Kentucky Derby-winning thoroughbred trainer urged a court Tuesday to reject his 10-year ban from the sport, arguing that a top New York racing official appeared biased as a member of the industry organization that first suggested revoking his license. Trainer Rick Dutrow Jr.’s license was revoked by the New York Racing and Wagering Board in October, although he is currently working under a court-ordered stay. The three-member board cited infractions including syringes containing an analgesic and sedative found in Dutrow’s desk and an analgesic found in the urine of his horse Fastus Cactus in November 2010 after it won at Aqueduct Racetrack. The board also fined him $50,000. Attorney Michael Koenig told the five Appellate Division justices that the unprecedented punishment is unfair and fundamentally tainted by Board Chairman John Sabini’s position in the Association of Racing Commissioners International. Koenig said his outspoken client’s due process rights had been violated. Dutrow initially faced a

90-day suspension that he appealed, and the case escalated from there despite no new issues, Koenig said. “We don’t believe there’s enough evidence in the record to support the allegations,” Koenig said. Dutrow told a hearing officer he didn’t know how the syringes got into his desk. A blood test of Fastus Cactus didn’t show any butorphanol, and Dutrow’s expert witness theorized that the urine test may have been contaminated. The board disagreed and said those were part of a string of drug violations, also citing his brief suspensions in 2003, 2004 and 2008. Koenig, however, argued that the fundamental issue is that Sabini declined to recuse himself from Dutrow’s case, even though he was an officer of the international association. Its president, Ed Martin, wrote to the board in February 2011, citing Dutrow’s 64 sanctions in nine states for rule violations at 15 tracks since 1979. Martin urged the New York board

to consider revoking his license, and it subsequently did. At the time, Sabini was the association’s chairman-elect. “In addition to the undeniable conflict of interest that permeated both the process and its ultimate outcome, the decision even to seek revocation was retaliatory,” Koenig argued in his brief. “Specifically, it was only after Mr. Dutrow appealed a 90-day suspension arising from two alleged violations that he was met with the revocation proceeding.” Assistant Attorney General Kathleen Arnold told the court that Dutrow’s rights to a fair proceeding weren’t violated, that the decision of an officer like Sabini not to recuse from a case “is a matter of personal conscience,” and Sabini wasn’t involved in the investigation until the case was before him. That his name was on the letterhead of the association “is simply not enough” to overturn the board, she said, noting the decision was unanimous. New York tracks test the first three race finishers with urine and blood tests.

League makes pads mandatory
By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

Franchitti, Johnson ready for big day

Thigh and knee pads had been any and all matters related to optional equipment, but that player health and safety.” The pads rule would not go into will change in the ‘13 season. effect on the field until next year

ATLANTA — The NFL made thigh and knee pads mandatory equipment for the 2013 season, something the players’ union was not pleased with. Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, chairman of the competition committee, said Tuesday at an owners meeting that because this is a playing rule, the league can apply it unilaterally. “We have a vote of the membership and can implement,” McKay said. “Some of us felt we were remiss that we took it out of the rule book — high school and college makes it mandatory — and in our mind that is how it should be and will be in 2013. “We have some work to do with the union.” McKay said the league will meet with NFL Players Association representatives on the issue, something they have discussed in the past. But the NFLPA argued that the move should be negotiated. “Any change in working conditions is a collectively bargained issue,” the union said in a statement. “While the NFL is focused on one element of health and safety today, the NFLPA believes that health and safety requires a comprehensive approach and commitment. We are engaged in and monitor many different issues, such as players’ access to medical records, prescription usage and the situation with professional football’s first responders, NFL referees. “We always look forward to meeting with the NFL to discuss

so equipment manufacturers can work on safety and comfort. Commissioner Roger Goodell couldn’t see any negatives to adding the thigh and knee pads. “We have raised the issue of mandatory pads for at least three years now,” he said. “I believe the technology has improved, the pads are far better than a decade ago, they allow better performance and are more protective. Every other level of football uses the pads.” Former All-Pro safety Troy Vincent, now an NFL vice president, explained why there could be pushback from the players. “It’s psychological. Less pads you are faster, skinnier, that’s just the way I was introduced to the (pro) game,” he said. “It’s a culture shift. They will adjust.” Goodell pointed out something a Nike executive told him recently: NBA players are wearing more pads from the hips down than NFL players. “There is something wrong with that,” Goodell said. The owners also voted to move the trading deadline from after Week 6 to after Week 8, and to allow one “marquee” player placed on injured reserve to return to practice after the sixth week of the schedule and to the lineup after the eighth week. That player must be on the 53-man roster after the final preseason cut. Terrell Suggs, the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, could fall into that category. Suggs recently underwent surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. If the Ravens believe Suggs can make it back in midseason, as the linebacker has predicted, they could use the IR special designation for him.

Goodell shows little concern for lawsuit

ATLANTA — After three decades in the NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell knows he won’t please a lot of people with tough decisions. Those decisions have become especially difficult in the wake of the Saints bounties program and subsequent punishments he handed out to coaches, players and executives involved. Goodell briefly on Tuesday addressed the defamation lawsuit filed against him by New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Vilma after he suspended Vilma for the 2012 season. He said at the owners meeting he has “not spent a lot of time” on the lawsuit, in which Vilma contends the commissioner made false statements that tarnished Vilma’s reputation and hindered his ability to earn a living playing football. “I’ve been around this league for 30 years and you are going to make decisions that will not be unanimous, it just doesn’t happen, particularly in a game where there is

a lot of emotion, a lot of passion,” Goodell said. “What I have to do is what is in best interests of the game long term. “You watch Pete Rozelle and Paul Tagliabue, you are part of the decision-making process, and you see how they go about it. You watch other leagues, try to take in every perspective. “You don’t worry about a popularity contest. You can’t.” Goodell is not popular in New Orleans these days, nor with the players union, which has challenged many of his recent decisions with grievances, appeals and through Vilma’s suit. On Tuesday, the union said the league making mandatory the use of thigh and knee pads in 2013 was improper and should be collectively bargained. The players also have asked arbitrators to rule just how much power, if any, Goodell has to punish the Saints for what the league found was a three-year cash-for-pain program that targeted specific players.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — They’ve got nine championships between them and a combined five victories on the single most prolific day of racing of the year. Dario Franchitti and Jimmie Johnson also share a friendship, even if it’s from afar. They follow each other’s races, text back and forth during the season and give the public a glimpse of their mutual admiration via Twitter. “Well done @JimmieJohnson on the race last night, massively impressive,” Franchitti tweeted following Johnson’s victory in NASCAR’s All-Star race on Saturday night. They are, for the most part, the most decorated drivers over the last six years from their respective series. Johnson’s record run of five consecutive Sprint Cup titles was snapped last season, but Franchitti won his third-straight title to make it four championships in the last five IndyCar seasons. “We keep threatening to drink some beers together to celebrate all these championships,” Johnson said. Both will be on the center stage Sunday for the biggest day of motorsports. It begins early for Franchitti, who will watch on television as cousin Paul di Resta races in Formula One’s Monaco Grand Prix. Franchitti’s turn comes before lunch, when he will attempt to win his third Indianapolis 500. Johnson will be watching from his motorhome at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he will try for his fourth Coca-Cola 600 victory Sunday night. “I catch the start, it’s on every television at Charlotte Motor Speedway,” Johnson said. “Then you go do your hospitality and sponsor events, the driver meeting and usually as I get back, I’m lucky enough to catch the finish.” Franchitti knows no matter

how his day goes in Indy, he’ll be in front of the television before the night is over. “Of course you go see what Jimmie and the boys are up to,” he said. The racing community can be small sometimes, even though it spans the globe. Drivers cross paths coming up through the ranks — Danica Patrick and Sam Hornish Jr. raced go-karts against each other as kids, both made it to IndyCar and both now race against each other full-time in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series — and make friendships that carry far beyond the track. Franchitti and Johnson, in a conference call with The Associated Press, recalled how their friendship began. They met in 2005, when Johnson was teammates with Franchitti’s little brother, Marino, in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona sports car race. Marino introduced Johnson to his brother, and before the event was over, a group of six or so drivers had spent an evening together at the local dog track. “I got to know Marino first, and I felt like getting to know Marino, they can’t be too different,” Johnson said. “If I can connect with Marino, then I can connect with Dario. And I wanted to, I rooted for Dario before I knew him. I’d watched him for a lot of years, and I always appreciated his passion and the way he carried himself. “Dario’s always been that guy for me in open-wheel.” Despite different backgrounds — Johnson grew up in Southern California, Franchitti in Scotland — the two both ooze cool, and they have an appreciation for the finer things in life. Johnson married former model Chandra Janway, Franchitti is married to actress Ashley Judd. But in racing, both are lauded for their on-track accomplishments and off-track professionalism.

PHILADELPHIA — Vince Young, Ronnie Brown and Steve Smith are gone. Indeed, the “Dream Team” is now simply the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles. Coming off a disappointing 8-8 season, the Eagles reconvened as a full team Tuesday for the first time since missing the playoffs last year. It was a season that was defined when Young deemed the Eagles a “Dream Team” in training camp after the acquisitions of Jason Babin, Cullen Jenkins, Brown, Smith and himself. But instead of making a deep run in the playoffs, the Eagles sputtered to a disheartening 4-8 start and failed to reach the postseason for the first time since 2007. The Eagles began picking up the pieces by opening a two-week organized team activity Tuesday at the team’s training facility in South Philadelphia. It will continue with workouts Wednesday and Thursday, as well as three more sessions next week. “With the expectations, and us not only not meeting our goals, but not making the playoffs, we learned a lot,” Pro Bowl running back LeSean McCoy said. “I think it humbled us. With all the bigtime players that we have, we really have to check ourselves and go into the season to prove ourselves. “I really think all of the hype is out the window and it’s a new year. I think there’s a lot of pressure for us as players. We have to make sure we do the right things.” The Eagles rallied to win the final four games of last season, but it was too little, too late. In the end, it was just the third season since 2000 that Philadelphia missed the playoffs. But now, with an overhauled roster, McCoy, wide receiver DeSean Jackson and several others getting new contracts, and a promising draft class, the Eagles once again have high expectations. Just not as much hype. “Last year, we let a lot of people down,” quarterback Michael Vick said, “including ourselves.” The lockout, of course, didn’t help. It wiped out all offseason practices last

About 500 anti-austerity protesters march Tuesday in central Athens as a banner reads ‘bailout agreements are annulled on the streets.’ June elections may determine whether Greece stays in the euro.

Eurozone warned
developed economies — said its average forecast was for the eurozone economy to shrink 0.1 percent this year and grow a mere 0.9 percent in 2013. “Today we see the situation in the euro area close to the possible downside scenario” in the OECD’s November report, “which if materializing could lead to a severe recession in the euro area and with spillovers in the rest of the world,” Padoan told reporters before the report’s release. The report forecasts Europe falling further behind other countries, particularly the United States, whose economy is expected to grow 2.4 percent this year and 2.6 percent next. “There is now a diverging trend between the euro area and the U.S., where

‘Severe recession’ looming, key fiscal group says
the U.S. is picking up more strongly while the euro area is lagging behind,” Padoan said. Europe is increasingly split between a wealthier north continuing to grow and a southern rim that is sliding deeper into recession, the OECD figures show. Germany, Europe’s largest economy, will accelerate to 2 percent growth next year after 1.2 percent growth in 2012, while France, the eurozone’s secondlargest economy, will expand 1.2 percent next year after 0.6 percent growth this year, the OECD said. Italy’s economy, by contrast, will shrink 1.7 percent this year and 0.4 percent in 2013, the OECD forecast. Spain is also set to remain mired in recession.

Best Buy Co. said Tuesday that its fiscal first-quarter profit dropped 26 percent on restructuring charges as the struggling electronics retailer began implementing a turnaround plan. Its adjusted earnings and revenue both topped Wall Street’s expectations. That’s sorely needed good news for the electronics chain as it attempts a restructuring to update its increasingly outmoded “big-box” store model. At the same time, the company is seeking a new CEO after the former top executive left amid scandal. Still, the results show the chain has a long way to go to improve results in a sustainable way. Best Buy has been shrinking store size and focusing on its more-profitable products such as mobile phones. In April, it announced a major restructuring that includes closing stores, cutting 400 jobs and trimming $800 million in costs. Its stock closed Tuesday at $18.46 a share, up 1.6 percent.

Google completes $12.5B Motorola purchase

SAN FRANCISCO — Google has completed its $12.5 billion purchase of device maker Motorola Mobility in a deal that poses new challenges for the Internet’s most powerful company as it tries to shape the future of mobile computing. The deal closed Tuesday, nine months after Google Inc. made a surprise announcement that it wanted to expand into the hardware business with the most expensive and riskiest

acquisition in its 14-year history. The purchase pushes Google deeper into the cellphone business, a market it entered four years ago with the debut of its Android software, now the chief challenger to Apple Inc.’s iPhones. In Motorola, Google gets a cellphone pioneer that has struggled in recent years. Motorola hasn’t produced a mass-market hit since it introduced the Razr cellphone in 2005. Once the No. 2 cellphone maker, Motorola now ranks eighth with 2 percent of the worldwide market share, according to Gartner.

As had been expected, Google CEO Larry Page immediately named one of his top lieutenants, Dennis Woodside, as Motorola’s CEO. He replaces Sanjay Jha, 49, who will stay on to assist in the ownership change. Woodside, 43, has spent the past three years in online advertising as president of Google’s America region, which accounted for $17.5 billion of Google’s revenue last year. Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. booked $13.1 billion in revenue during its final year as an independent company.

WASHINGTON — Americans are buying more homes in every region of the country, the latest indication that the housing market could be on the mend. An increasing portion of those sales are from first-time buyers, who are critical to a housing recovery. Sales of previously occupied houses rose 3.4 percent in April from March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62 million, the National Association of Realtors said Tuesday. That nearly matches January’s pace of 4.63 million — the best in two years. It is still well below the nearly 6 million that most economists equate with healthy markets. A pickup in hiring and cheaper mortgages, combined with lower home prices in most markets, has made home buying more attractive. While many economists acknowledged that the market has a long way to go, most said the April sales report was encouraging. “The trend in sales is upward, and we think it has a good deal further to go over the next few months as payrolls pick up further and mortgage availability improves,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics. Sales rose last month from March in all regions of the country. They increased 5.1 percent rise in the Northeast, 3.5 percent in the South, 4.4 percent in the West and 1 percent in the Midwest. And more first-time buyers entered the market. In April, they made up 35 percent of sales. That’s up from 32 percent in March. “First-time homebuyers are slowly making their way back,” said Jennifer Lee, an economist at BMO Capital Markets. “That is still below the 40 percentto-45 percent range during healthy times, but the highest in almost half a year.” The report measures completed sales. A sale typically closes a month or two after a buyer signs a contract to buy a home. But a growing number of buyers in recent months have been investors who pay cash, which speeds up the process.

Winds now blowing parallel to the East Coast have caused a front to slow down and stall nearby. Therefore, again today we can expect more clouds than sun and more scattered showers to form this afternoon. Warm and humid conditions will prevail Thursday and Friday. I think Thursday will be rain free with a chance for showers forming again on Friday. The next front will push through early Saturday, then stall nearby. This will be the focus for more showers and storms to form in our area Saturday, Sunday and Monday. - Tom Clark

Fluffy dessert that’s simple to whip up
THE APPEAL OF light, refreshing desserts is higher as temperatures rise. In this dessert, the “fluffy” consistency is awesome, the “citrus” taste is amazing, and it is definitely a “finale” to any food event. This invigorating dessert is delightfully delicate with its blend of citrus flavor of the juice as well as the zest of the fruit. The citrus is balanced with the sweetened cream and texture of the fruit you use as a garnish. I suggest fruit that complements the occasion, such as blueberries and strawberries for Memorial Day. Be creative and have fun. The Fluffy Citrus Finale is sure to impress family and friends. After your next gathering or special event, treat yourself to this beautiful grand finale. If you would rather enjoy this dessert served to you, we will offer it at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning today through the weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com. •••
FLUFFY CITRUS FINALE Yield: 10 servings. Ingredients 3 envelopes unflavored Gelatin (.25 ounce per envelope) 3/4 cup cold water 3/4 cup boiling water 1 1/2 cups orange juice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 1/2 teaspoons orange zest, grated 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup mandarin oranges As needed, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, maraschino cherries or your favorite fruit to garnish ••• Method of preparation 1. In a large mixing bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; allow to rest for 10 minutes. This step is called blooming, as it allows the water to absorb the gelatin. 2. Add boiling water to bloomed gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin dissolves completely. 3. Add juices, zest and half the sugar. 4. Set bowl in ice-water bath until mixture is syrupy, stirring occasionally. 5. Whip cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add remaining sugar to the cream and whip until stiff peaks form. This is fresh-made whipped cream. 6. When gelatin mixture begins to thicken, fold in the whipped cream until blended. 7. Pour the mixture into your desired serving vessel. You may use parfait or wine glasses. If you use a springform pan, spray bottom and sides of pan with nonstick cooking spray. 8. Chill at least six hours or overnight. 9. Serve chilled, garnished with mandarin oranges and your choice of fruit accompaniment.

ou have to wonder about the man who ate the first artichoke. • Prickly and ugly with a giant fur ball inside, how could he have known what a treasure he had? • Luckily, we can all reap the rewards of his bravery, particularly now when artichokes are in season and easy to find in the grocery-store produce section. • “I think it’s an intimidating-looking vegetable,” said New York-based cookbook author and Italian cooking expert Michele Scicolone. • While artichokes are abundant in Italian cuisine, many home cooks don’t consider them beyond draining a can of artichoke hearts or thawing a frozen block for mixing into hot spinach dip. • Scicolone said fresh artichokes take time to clean and prepare, which she believes keeps many cooks from attempting them. “There’s a lot of work in the preparation,” she said, adding, “But when you learn to love the flavor of the artichoke, it really is worth the effort.” HOW TO PREPARE AN ARTICHOKE

When cooking fresh, whole artichokes, the globes need to be trimmed of their thorns, have their tops trimmed off, stems cleaned, and the hairy choke inside removed. When steaming artichokes whole, it’s best to cut the stem off so the flat bottom stands up inside a steamer basket, but it’s OK to leave the choke in place. Artichokes are done steaming when a leaf pulls out without any effort. Without a steamer basket, simply place artichokes inside a pot so they fit snugly and are standing up, add about an inch of water, cover and simmer until they are soft and a leaf pulls out easily. For eating, leaves are pulled out one at a time,

1. Cut stem off so that artichoke will sit flat for baking or steaming.

2. Remove the bottom row or two of tough outer leaves from the artichoke. Then use kitchen scissors to remove the prickly thorns from the tops of the remaining leaves.

3. Cut off the top to get at the choke in the center of the artichoke.

4. Use a spoon or your fingers to remove the fuzzy choke from inside the artichoke.

Takeouts available. 864-2401. 400 degrees and prepare the stuffing. Mix together the bread crumbs, grated cheese, and pine nuts in a bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup of the parsley, 1/2 cup of the olive oil, the eggs, 1/4 tsp. salt and the lemon zest. Toss with a fork until all of the crumbs are moistened with the olive oil. Remove the cleaned artichokes from the water and drain them upside down on a kitchen towel. Spread the leaves of an artichoke open and fill the center with stuffing. Continue to work outward, sprinkling and packing stuffing into the rows of leaves as you separate them. Put the artichoke in a baking dish that will hold all six snugly. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Pour the wine and 1 cup of water around the artichokes in the baking dish; add the remaining lemon juice and the artichoke stems. Season the liquid with the remaining salt and pepper. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil over the artichokes. Tent the dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the artichokes are tender all the way through and the crumbs are browned and crusty, about 20 to 30 minutes more (depending on the size and toughness of your artichokes). If the cooking juices are too thin, pour them into a small pot and boil for a few minutes to reduce. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Serve the artichokes in shallow soup plates, topped with the cooking juices. Makes 6 servings.

dipped in melted butter, hollandaise sauce or mayonnaise, and then scraped against the bottom teeth to remove the flesh from the leaves. Once the outer leaves are eaten, use a spoon (or fingers) to remove the hairy choke, which will reveal the succulent heart that lies beneath — the prize at the end. While steaming is the most basic preparation, Scicolone said Italian cuisine showcases numerous ways for preparing artichokes because they are grown in abundance in Italy. Smaller artichokes often are served battered and deep-fried, and hearts can be marinated or used in stews and braises, she noted. One of her favorite dishes is to slice them up and toss them with fettuccini. Scicolone said one of the reasons artichokes remain such a culinary mystery to many is because they aren’t widely grown so people just aren’t familiar with them. “It’s not like a tomato that anyone can grow in the backyard,” she said. That doesn’t stop some folks from trying. Artichokes are a perennial plant in the thistle family. Scicolone said stuffing artichokes is the most classic Southern Italian preparation for the vegetable. When stuffing artichokes, it’s important to use good bread crumbs — preferably homemade, not the already seasoned variety from the grocery store — and a high-quality cheese,

such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino Romano, which is sharper and saltier, Scicolone said. “It’s going to be as good as the ingredients you put into it,” she said. Stuffed artichokes can be cooked on the stovetop or baked in the oven. One whole artichoke is the perfect single serving. Nearly all U.S. artichokes are grown in California, and they are in season now. •••

STUFFED ARTICHOKES
Juice of 3 lemons Zest of 1 lemon 6 large artichokes 1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs 1/2 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano 1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp. chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil 2 large hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped 3/4 tsp. kosher salt 1 cup dry white wine 1/8 tsp. pepper To prepare artichokes, fill a bowl with cold water. Add the juice of one lemon and squeezed-out lemon halves. Peel and trim the stem of each artichoke. Pull off any tough outer leaves and discard. Using a paring knife, trim away any tough parts around the base and stem of the artichoke. With a serrated knife, cut off the top third of the artichoke and discard. Push the leaves open to expose the fuzzy purple choke. With a small spoon, scrape out the choke and discard. This will expose the heart at the bottom of the artichoke. Put the prepared artichoke in the bowl of water and lemon, which will keep it from turning brown. Once all artichokes are cleaned and prepared, preheat the oven to

Peeping Tom gets an eyeful and intruded-upon couple reclaims privacy
Dear Abby: From time to time I have read letters in your column about Peeping Toms. You might find our experience interesting. Many years ago, soon after my husband, Klaus, and I arrived as newlyweds from Germany, we rented a small bungalow in L.A. There were seven of them behind our landlord’s large home in the front. Between our little house and our next-door neighbor’s was a brick patio that extended from our bedroom window to her back door. Not long after we moved in, the woman began looking into our bedroom window on weekend mornings, pressing her nose against the glass.

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE My husband came up with the perfect solution. He placed a large mirror in the window frame. Sure enough, the weekend came and she peered into our window. Seeing her face reflected back, she dashed into her house and never looked again. — Lilo in Costa Mesa
Dear Lilo: I like your husband’s style. Your neighbor may not have gotten the thrill she was seeking, but she sure enough got the message. Dear Abby: There is a segment of the population that I have not seen you

address. It’s the many women whose dreams of marriage and children never came true. Society gives so much attention to women who are pregnant and have children. It is very difficult for us to hear people brag about their children and pass around their pictures. People need to develop sensitivity for those like me, who prayed 25 years for marriage and children, but who didn’t get this “gift from God.” — Alone in the Northwest Dear Alone: Parents bragging about their children and showing off pictures are natural reactions to having offspring. It is not meant to punish the childless. There are thousands of children who desperately need the attention

and affection you long to bestow, so please consider becoming an adoptive or foster parent, or volunteer with an organization such as Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of America. The website is www.bbbs.org. Dear Abby: I am a freshman in college. I would like to transfer to a college that two of my best friends from high school attend, and also change my planned major. We would like to rent a house over the summer and remain in it during the next school year. My problem is my father. Daddy insists that I shouldn’t live with my high school friends. He says I should concentrate on making new friends and see my old ones less often. Am I wrong here? Would living

with my friends be that horrible? — Mixed Up in New York Dear Mixed Up: Your father may be concerned that you and your friends will be distracted and not apply yourselves fully to your studies. Although many first-year students change their planned majors, changing schools as well as your major and moving in with your friends may appear to your father as a retreat from adult responsibilities. Does he have cause to be concerned about your motives?
To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The price tag won’t give you a good idea of an item’s true value. You’ll be the one to catch amazing bargains. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just when you think you’re gaining ground, you realize something that sends you back to the beginning. This is ultimately very beneficial. Your results will be much stronger this time. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one you love may or may not reciprocate in the manner you would prefer, but you will get a surprising response either way. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will have special privileges because of a relationship or association. Even if you feel you’ve done nothing to deserve the perks, enjoy them. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Tense situations settle in to a neutral state. Someone who was being difficult last week will now be willing to talk reasonably. Anxieties will be allayed. Everything is working toward resolution. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know it would be wrong to base your self-worth on someone else’s opinion. That may not be enough to keep you from working for someone’s favor, though. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One person’s attention and support will make your work easier. It also will make it clear who isn’t supporting you and really should be. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s as though everything you see is a symbol for another thing entirely. You’ll look deeply into so-called reality to find a larger meaning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s an action you would like to turn into a permanent fixture in your behavior — to the extent that it becomes a part of your personality. Repeat the response hundreds of times until your brain accepts it as automatic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t will yourself to take pleasure in an experience. You either feel it or you don’t. That’s what makes pleasure an expression of your true self. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You make a habit of celebrating people. You need only get a slight inkling that there’s something to celebrate, and you’re on the job — and good at it, too. Your thoughtfulness will be greatly appreciated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your prize appears on the horizon — and just when you’d almost given up! Reach forward with all of your might and imagine that destiny is rushing toward you, arms extended. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 23). You’ll be touched by the sentiments expressed to you today. The people who know you and those who want to know you will form a delightful mix. Your intentions for June will be realized by month’s end. Your excitement grows through September as you realize that your vision of life is being fleshed out before your eyes. Aquarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 43, 28 and 15.
