Officials eyeing pension oddities Even some short-time county workers eligible to receive pensions, under state law.

Luzerne County employee pension fund assets must be liquidated to cover expenses in May if the county doesn’t pay last year’s $6.1 million taxpayer subsidy, fund adviser Richard J. Hazzouri told the county retirement board this week. See ASSETS, Page 14A

Luzerne County officials are questioning state pension law quirks that allowed former workers to collect pensions early or without five years of employment. The subject initially came up at a county retirement board meeting earlier this year when Thomas See PENSION, Page 14A Cooney’s $71.84 monthly pension was approved.

MacDowell announced Thursday that he will step down on June 30, 2013. The 12th MacDowell president in the history of Luzerne County’s oldest college, MacDowell has been at the school for 14 years after arriving in July 1998 from Hartwick College in Oneonta, N.Y., where he served as vice president. In an interview Thursday from his office on the first floor of Mercy Hall, MacDowell reflected on his accomplishments, the state of the school and recalled the first time he came to campus. It was Thanksgiving break in 1997 and he had applied for the president’s position. He was on his way back to Oneonta from Washington, D.C., and took the short drive off Interstate 81 to see the college. “I went through the arches,” he said, parked and took a walk

WVW will close 2 elementary schools it has very poor energy efficienMain Street and Pringle cy. schools to be shuttered The 84-year-old Plymouth because of cost, maintenance. school on Main Street was built By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON – Age, costly maintenance and even construction materials are some of the reasons why the Main Street Elementary Center and Pringle Street Elementary School will be shuttered, Wyoming Valley West Superintendent Charles Suppon said Thursday at a required hearing about the planned closings. Suppon said the 92-year-old Pringle school has major structural faults and requires expensive upkeep. He also pointed out

in 1928 as Plymouth High School. It has since served as a junior high school and is now an elementary campus. Suppon said that because the structure is wooden, any add-ons are not reimbursable by the state. He said there also are major structural concerns with the building. According to Suppon, children attending those schools will be sent to the renovated and expanded State Street Elementary Center. The center will have two wings, one for primary grades and the other for intermediate grades. The school closings will require four additional bus routes,

HANOVER TWP. – At Thursday’s regular meeting, the Hanover Area School Board recognized Joanne Basar-Glushefski, the district’s Title One director, who died last month. “She worked tirelessly to make this district as good as it could be,” said board President John Pericci, who noted Glushefski often worked late hours. She was employed in the district for 13 years as a reading specialist and reading supervisor. “No one ever questioned her passion for doing a job the best she could for us,” Pericci said. The board also recognized Jared Jones as March Student of the Month. Jones, who is active in school sports and clubs, recently received the “Unsung Hero Award” as a member of the swimming and diving team. Referencing the theft of $5,000 worth of deli style turkey rolls from an outside locker earlier this month, Deborah Scott questioned the district’s security system. Dan Malloy, principal of the junior-senior high school, said there are 26 cameras located throughout the school grounds. Pericci added the district recently passed a voluntary safety and security audit conducted by

the state police, who are investigating the incident. “We’d like to say we’d have a camera on everything, but we can’t,” he said. “We are adding cameras as the budget allows.” The board also announced that staff members recently took part in a gang identification and awareness training. The workshop was part of “Operation Gang Up,” an initiative launched by state Sen. John Yudichak and U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta.

Making a good ‘impression’

Seminary second-graders learn about and create like the great Impressionists. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

FORTY FORT – The considerable artistic talents of the 2012 second-grade class at Wyoming Seminary Lower School were on proud display at the 22nd annual art show titled “Children’s Impressions” on Thursday. The exhibit was the culmination of the class’s year-long Art Appreciation program, which teaches the young students art

history and appreciation from the 18th through 19th centuries. This year it focused on the works of the great Impressionists, such as Monet, Van Gogh and Cezanne. The program was conceptualized by Seminary’s second-grade teacher Angela Stout and after two decades is still popular with students and parents. Examples of the artwork on display by the 7- and 8-year-olds included renditions of Monet’s well-known water lilies and haystacks and Van Gogh’s ethereal Starry Night. The students were along on hand to discuss their work and each had recorded a description of his or her piece on an iPod for viewers to listen to.

Wyoming Area taxpayers question loan Parents inquire about $5 million set aside for infrastructure repairs. By JON O’CONNELL Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER – When Wyoming Area School District borrowed money five years ago to expand its high school, about $5 million was set aside for infrastructure repairs in other schools. Now that school board members are considering a $3 million loan for building repairs at Montgomery Avenue Elementary, parents are asking where the money went. At a school board work session Thursday night, John Bonin, a parent group spokesman in the district, asked about the nearly $1million that went into the general fund three years in a row. “Over three years, you floated over $3 million into the budget,” Bonin said.

Superintendent Raymond Bernardi said the money was moved to offset in-house costs and prevent raising property taxes. Board President Frank Casarella said the money could very well have been used for building improvements, but now they have to face the facts. “We’re at the position now where we have to make these decisions,” Casarella said. Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget proposal does not include any school infrastructure improvements, said board member Carl Yorina. The board members are considering a loan from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture not to exceed $3 million. They are to vote during next Tuesday’s formal meeting. Carl Yorina, who was elected to the board in December, said that after the 3.375 percent interest rate and 40-year loan term, the district will have paid more than $2 million in interest by the time the loan is paid off.

“The earlier we expose our students to the arts and help them develop their sense of appreciation, the more likely it is for them to carry their love of the arts throughout their lifetime,” said Stout. Stout said she often hears from former students who have carried their love of art, instilled through Seminary’s program, with them into adulthood. “The children will be taking a trip to the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan in the spring,” stated Seminary Lower School Dean Claire Hornung. “Using the knowledge they gained this year, they’ll be museum guides for their parents that day.”

Quad 3 engineer Sam Scarantino presented a plan that he said would bring Montgomery Street School up to standard codes, giving an estimated amount of $1.8 million needed. Concerning building upgrades at Montgomery Street School, the board members mostly discussed the ventilation system, saying they have received complaints about hot and stuffy hallways. The current system is more than 20 years old and without air conditioning. Scarantino said repairing the ducts and replacing the controls would bring fresh air in as well as cut down the electric bill, but he suggested a complete overhaul to get the most value. “You should replace (the entire system),” Scarantino said. “You’ll get the warranty, energy efficiency and you’ll get 20 to 30 years.”

LOCAL Murphy paid more than $8,130 Former city administrator worked as consultant to Philadelphia law firm advising W-B, parking authority. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Former city administrator J.J. Murphy acknowledged Thursday he was paid more as a consultant to the Philadelphia law firm advising the city of Wilkes-Barre and the city parking authority than the $8,130 shown on a bill for the period of Feb. 21 to March 15. On the bill from Murphy’s Goal’s Consulting firm, the itemized list of charges includes two seven-hour project prep meetings – noted as the sixth and seventh held with the Fox Rothschild law firm.

No charges for prior meetings are listed. “There were five other meetings,” Murphy said by telephone from Chicago. “I don’t have my file with me, so I can’t tell you how Murphy much was billed.” He has been paid $8,130 for 27.1 hours worked since Feb. 21, at a rate of $300 per hour. Murphy said the city parking authority paid his most recent bill, but Fox Rothschild paid the previous bills as per an agreement he has with the law firm. He did not know if the parking authority reimbursed the law firm for his charges. Fox Rothschild is the Philadelphia law firm where Murphy’s brother, Patrick Murphy, is a partner.

$300K grant nourishes project By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

NOXEN – Fertile Grounds farm is looking for more people to buy into its community-supported agriculture approach, and a $300,000 federal grant should help. The organic farm depends upon a $500 commitment from members for the vegetables and herbs grown, picked and packed in boxes for them weekly between June and October. It wants to more than double its membership this year to 200 with the funding provided through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

44 states that received more than $40.2 million in Value-Added Producer Grant funding. None of the money can be spent on equipment or seeds or capital expenses. “As soon as it gets off the field is when the grant starts,” said Shoval. The funding allowed it to hire Leanne Mazurick as a full-time outreach coordinator to let more people know about community-supported agriculture, or CSA. Amy Butler, the head farmer, and Rayann Brown, who works as a farmer, are the other full-time employees.

W-B Area approves inspection of Meyers Board also looks for ways to close multimillion-dollar holes in budget. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Wilkes-Barre Area School Board held a brief special meeting Thursday to approve a contract for a new structural inspection of Meyers High School, work Board Member Christine Katsock said there was “no justification” for “during a budget crisis.” The board then adjourned and began a lengthy budget and finance committee meeting, looking for ways to close a multimillion-dollar hole in next year’s budget. The Meyers inspection was proposed by and awarded to Geo Science Engineering Co. Inc. The company did a similar study in 2007 and discovered the building has settled much faster than it should have because soft soil underneath shifts every time the Susquehanna River rises dramatically, pushing ground water levels up. Geo

Science suggested a new look at the building after September’s record crest of the river Board members decided a new study is needed to make sure the building is safe. Maximum cost of the study is $49,800, though it could rise to $55,450 if work needs to be done after 4 p.m. to avoid disrupting classes. In trying to cut spending in next year’s budget the board mulled a wide range of options: • Eliminate the “Instructional Support Team” program, which currently includes four teachers though one is retiring. The teachers work with other teachers, family and staff to help students struggling with academic or behavior problems, in an effort to keep the student from entering special education. Superintendent Jeff Namey said it more often delays, rather than prevents, special-education assignment. • Bringing work “in house” that is currently contracted to the Luzerne Intermediate Unit: occupational therapy, vision support and orientation and mobility ser-

vices – helping vision impaired students get around. The move could save up to $175,000, Namey said. • Determine whether money can be saved by contracting out bus transportation still handled by the district. Most work is contracted out, but the district has 11 buses. Namey said the number of drivers is down to five or six and at least nine would be needed. Board members agreed to look at the total cost of the in-house program to see if it’s cheaper to hire new drivers or contract the work out. • Eliminate elementary and high school coordinators who oversee teachers and curriculum in specific subjects, and replace them with a single supervisor who would oversee kindergarten through 12th grade. Toole said two coordinators in one subject cost a total of $236,000. The board does not have to officially vote on any cuts until the final budget is approved, which must happen by June 30. A preliminary budget will be approved about a month before that, but can be revised.

SCRANTON – Chief Public Defender Al Flora Jr. has withdrawn a motion seeking a court order protecting his job after Luzerne County officials agreed to stipulate they will not seek to fire him for filing a lawsuit against the county. The stipulation, filed Thursday by the American Civil Liberties Union, says the county agrees it will not take action against Flora for exercising his right to free speech. It does not preclude the county from taking action against him Flora for other reasons. The agreement negates the need for a hearing on the matter, which was scheduled for today in federal court. Flora sought a preliminary injunction in federal court that would preclude the county from taking any action against him for filing a class action suit that seeks to force the county to hire additional attorneys for his office. Flora contends the filing of the suit is a protected activity under his First Amendment right to free speech. The class-action suit, filed April10 in Luzerne County Court, claims a lack of funding for his office has caused such a severe staffing shortage that the constitutional rights of indigent criminal defendants are being violated. The federal suit, which was filed the same day, was a pre-emptive step taken to protect Flora. The suit was based on alleged threats of retaliation that were made against Flora by former interim county manager Tom Pribula after Flora spoke out about staffing concerns and the possibility he might sue the county. The suit cited a budget meeting held on Jan. 12 at which Pribula stated he believed Flora would sue the county. Pribula then went on to note Flora is selected by the county manager with county council’s confirmation, and they could replace Flora if there was a “lack of cooperation.” The stipulation reached between the parties acknowledges that Flora is acting as chief public defender pending County Manager Robert Lawton’s decision on who to appoint to the position permanently. Flora is among several people who have applied for the position. The agreement says Flora “will not be subjected to any adverse employment action in retaliation for First Amendment protected activity.” It also states that Flora is not currently in “imminent danger of termination.”

Bombs kill 30 in 10 Iraqi cities

Minority lawmakers blame Shiite-led government’s attempts to dominate. By LARA JAKES Associated Press

Marking grim anniversary

Members of Warsaw’s Jewish community, city officials and others gather to mark the 69th anniversary of the doomed Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday.

BAGHDAD — Bombs ripped through 10 Iraqi cities Thursday, killing at least 30 people and shattering a month of relative calm. Minority lawmakers decried the violence as a tragic but inevitable result of the Shiite-led government’s attempts to dominate Iraqi politics. Despite simmering sectarian tensions, a lull in deadly attacks since mid-March led many to hope Iraq had turned a corner and away from widespread violence.

That proved overly optimistic as at least 14 bombs and mortar shells exploded across 10 cities over three hours in the morning. At least 117 people were wounded, police said. “What crime have we committed? How long will such violence continue?” wailed a woman, who would identify herself only by her nickname of Um Ali, after watching a car explode outside an apartment building in western Baghdad. “This is security in Iraq,” a man nearby muttered sarcastically as he inspected damage to his car. Six of the bombings struck at security forces and government officials — frequent targets for insurgents. In Baghdad alone, 12 people were killed, mostly in Shiite

mixed city to Kirkuk, to Saddam Hussein’s hometown of Tikrit. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Baghdad military command spokesman Col. Dhia al-Wakeel said they resembled those carried out by al-Qaida, the Sunni Muslim terror network. Sunni and Kurdish lawmakers said the bombings likely were the result of a monthslong political impasse that has all but paralyzed Iraq’s government since the U.S. military AP PHOTO withdrawal at the end of last year.

Officials unveiled a new preferred route Thursday for the Nebraska portion of the stalled Keystone XL oil pipeline that avoids the state’s groundwater-rich Sandhills region. The proposed route would veer east around the the Sandhills before looping back to the original route. Developer TransCanada has said the reroute adds about 100 miles to the original 1,700mile project that would carry oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. The full $7 billion pipeline would travel from Canada through Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Accused killer practiced

Anders Behring Breivik knew it would take practice to be able to slaughter dozens of people before being shot by police. In a chilling summary, the far-right fanatic claimed Thursday that he sharpened his aim by playing computer games for more than a year before Norway’s worst peacetime massacre. Breivik told an Oslo court he took steroids to build physical strength and meditated to “de-emotionalize” himself before the bombing and shooting rampage that left 77 people dead. His lack of remorse and matter-offact description of weapons and tactics — he even considered using a flame thrower — was deeply disturbing to families of the victims, most of whom were teenagers.

Clinton: Embargo Syria

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called Thursday for the U.N.

Clinton stopped short of calling for outside military intervention in Syria — something there is little to no foreign appetite for — and acknowledged Russia and China would likely veto any U.N. measure. But she insisted it was time to impose more consequential measures on Syrian President Bashar Assad’s regime.

Fewer registrants for Komen races Organizers acknowledge the effect of the Planned Parenthood debacle.

By JAMIE STENGLE Associated Press

DALLAS, Texas — For years, Katie Sanchez participated in her local Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, raising money annually to honor her aunt, cousin and a male friend — all breast cancer survivors. But when her local race rolls around this fall, she won’t be there. She already donated her entry fee to Planned Parenthood. “Pretty much everyone I walk with has decided to do something else,” she said. Sanchez and many other Komen supporters have abandoned the nation’s largest breast-cancer charity since news emerged in

late January that it had decided to stop making grants to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer-screening. Komen soon reversed that move following a three-day onslaught of criticism. Organizers of individual Race for the Cure events — 5K runs and walks that account for most of the charity’s fundraising — have seen participation decline by as much as 30 percent. Most also saw their fundraising numbers go down, although a couple of races brought in more money. Race organizers acknowledge the effect of the Planned Parenthood debacle, which angered people on both sides of the abortion debate. “I think there’s no getting around the fact that the controversy did have an impact,” said Leslie Aun, a spokeswoman for Susan G.

Zimmerman’s bail request raising safety issues Neighborhood watch volunteer charged with killing Trayvon Martin could get bail today. By MIKE SCHNEIDER and CURT ANDERSON Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — After spending a week in a jail cell by himself, the neighborhood watch volunteer charged with murdering Trayvon Martin stands a good chance of being granted bail today, despite the severity of the second-degree murder charge he faces. Whether George Zimmerman is allowed to leave the county as he awaits trial — and how he would remain safe — are two questions likely to be at the center of the hearing at the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center, experts say.

“Although it’s not routine for people charged with murder to get bond, they do get bond, and I think there is an excellent argument to be made in his specific case for him to Zimmerman be released on bond,” said defense attorney Randy McClean, who practices in Seminole County, about 15 miles northeast of Orlando. Zimmerman has several factors in his favor. For one, he has ties to the local community including family members who are expected to testify by telephone on his behalf at today’s hearing. He turned himself in voluntarily after second-degree murder charges were filed against him last week, a good indication that he doesn’t pose a flight risk. He has never been convicted of a crime, which

suggests he doesn’t pose a threat to society, legal experts said. “It’s hard for a prosecutor to argue he will leave, when up to this point he has been cooperative and everyone knows who he is,” said Stacey Honowitz, a veteran prosecutor in Broward County. A spokeswoman for special prosecutor Angela Corey’s office said she wouldn’t comment on whether Corey would object to Zimmerman being released on bond. Zimmerman’s safety weighed on the mind of his defense attorney right after he took on the case last week. Mark O’Mara indicated he would ask that Zimmerman be allowed to leave the area, if he is granted bond, because of those concerns. Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester was assigned the case Wednesday after a previous judge recused herself because of a potential conflict of interest.

WASHINGTON — A top lawmaker briefed on the investigation into a Secret Service prostitution scandal said more firings could be imminent after the ouster of three agency employees. “I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw more dismissals and more being forced out sooner rather than later,” Rep. Peter King, RN.Y., said Thursday. King is being updated on the investigation by Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan. “You may see a few more today or tomorrow,” King added. The Secret Service has moved quickly to quell the scandal that erupted late last week, when at least some of 11 agency employees implicated in the incident brought prostitutes back to their hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, where they were setting up security for a visit by President Barack Obama. So far, three people involved have lost their jobs. The service said Wednesday that one supervisor was allowed to retire, and another will be fired for cause. A third employee, who was not a supervisor, has resigned. In Washington and Colombia, separate U.S. government investigations are under way. The Secret Service has investigators in Colombia, and King said he has assigned four congressional investigators to the probe.

ripple — even in China — just days after North Korea was globally vilified for a failed rocket launch. The vastly different responses show the world has grown to accept India as a responsible and stable nuclear power, while shunning North Korea as a pariah. The muted response to Thursday morning’s test underscores how far India has come in gaining acceptance for its nuclear program. After India tested its first nuclear bomb in 1974, the U.S. put it under sanctions for a quarter century. But last decade, the U.S. removed the sanctions and eventually ratified in 2008 a landmark deal to allow civilian nuclear trade that effectively accepted India as a nuclear nation. India hailed its test of the Agni-V missile as a significant step forward in its aspirations to become a regional and world power.

An unprecedented 86 candidates are running for the seats in the first election since the board ousted the late Joe Paterno as head football coach in November in the aftermath of child sexual abuse charges against his ex-assistant Jerry Sandusky. Paterno’s departure after 46 seasons angered some former players, alumni and particularly alumni watchdog groups who see the election as a vehicle for change. An election voting website containing the ballot and candidate biographies opened April 10, and voting lasts until May 3. Results are scheduled to be announced at a trustees meeting the next day.

Instead of verifying the vote count, the audit firm will also conduct a “thorough review of the process that is being used, an affirmation that procedures were followed and a verification of vote totals,” spokeswoman Lisa Powers said. Campaigning appears to be

ratcheting up with two weeks to go until voting ends. The alumni association is planning a meetthe-candidates event on campus Saturday morning before the Blue-White game that ends spring football practice. More than 60 candidates are planning to attend, as are trust-

ALLENTOWN — The state’s top health official has assured doctors that Pennsylvania’s new Marcellus Shale gas drilling law will allow them to talk to their patients about proprietary chemicals used in the hydraulic fracturing process — and share the information with public health agencies and regulatory bodies as they see fit. The Pennsylvania Medical Society started questioning the new law almost two months ago, and on Wednesday issued a statement saying that Health Secretary Dr. Eli Avila had clarified the issue in a letter. The Associated Press reported last week that doctors worried the confidentiality provision was too vague, and on last-minute negotiations that stripped up to $2 million in new Health Department funding for research on the public health impacts of gas drilling.

9 charged in cocaine operation Judge: Appeal

should be tossed

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – All wearing orange prison jumpsuits and shackled at the ankles, nine people were charged Thursday in federal court for their alleged roles in a cocaine “criminal enterprise” that operated from a used tire business in Pittston for at least two years. Federal, state and local authorities raided Roy’s High Tread Used Tires on South Main Street, several taverns and residences on Wednesday, detaining nine people, including the used tire business owner, Leroy Leonard Trudgen, 61, of Pittston. Trudgen, along with William McDonald, Leslie Williams, Denise Trudgen and Martin Curry, all from Pittston; Daniel Rasmus of Exeter; Martin Williams and Brian Amos, both from Plains Township; and Joseph Shotwell of Wilkes-Barre, were charged by the

Five kilos of cocaine has a street value in Northeastern Pennsylvania of about $500,000, according to an undercover drug agent. They made an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Malachy Mannion at the federal courthouse. All but Leroy Trudgen were released pending a preliminary examination on May 17. A detention hearing for Leroy

Trudgen is scheduled on Tuesday and a preliminary examination is set for May 3. Preliminary examinations will be canceled if a federal grand jury returns indictments against the nine people. Details about the joint investigation were not released. U.S. Assistant Attorney John Gurganus said the maximum penalty is life in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted. Many family members and friends attended the proceeding. A woman who did not give her name said there were five employees, including her relative, at the used tire business charged with distributing cocaine. Speaking about her relative, whom she did not identify, she said: “He’s a hard-working man.

He’s a family man who goes to work and takes care of his family. I’m pregnant. I’m freaked out.” Another woman who refused to give her name said she was at the proceeding to support Leroy Trudgen. She said Trudgen left her Dupont residence 10 minutes before authorities raided her house. “To my knowledge, he didn’t do cocaine at all. I can’t believe it right now,” she said. An FBI news release said the investigation resulted in the seizure of illegal narcotics, money, weapons and bullet-proof vests. Agents with the FBI and state Office of Attorney General, U.S. Marshals, state police, Luzerne County detectives, and police in Pittston, Plains and Jenkins Township were involved in Wednesday’s drug sweep.

Public housing security concerns city resident Funding cut means Pittston no longer able to dedicate a police officer to those areas. By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

PITTSTON – Ray Morgan told City Council on Wednesday night said that even though he had recently stepped down as resident representative on the housing board, he remained concerned about safety issues within the Infantino Towers and Apollo Apartments run by the Pittston Housing Authority.

City Manager Joe Moskovitz said that since the authority withdrew a significant amount of funding previously directed to the city, the city was no longer able to dedicate a police officer to those areas. Moskovitz said housing complexes funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development were exempt from some city regulations in regard to police and fire. “We will attempt to resolve this by reaching out to HUD,” said Moskovitz. He also lauded Morgan for all the time and effort he had volunteered to make HUD fa-

cilities within the city safer. In other business, council awarded a $380,850 street paving contract to Pennsy Supply, the low bidder. As director of the street department, Councilman Danny Argo said he looks forward to the completion of the project on Union and Wharf streets as an example of the council working to improve the city for its residents. Resident Barb Zangre, Church Street, responding to the city’s decision to put up a traffic light at Market and Main streets, asked if that light could be equipped with a camera to record and cite vio-

lators in an expedient way. Solicitor Sam Falcone said that although there is pending legislation in the state House in regard to this, Pittston was not now authorized to use cameras at traffic lights. In another matter, resident Jim Morris said the recently opened ArtSEEN Gallery on Main Street would hold a “Second Friday” event in which the gallery would open its doors to the public with various cultural offerings.

Judge David Lupas says John Stone’s appeal of murder conviction is without merit. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A Luzerne County judge said in court papers filed Wednesday that an appeal to the state Superior Court by a man convicted of killing a woman with a hatchet is without merit. Judge David Lupas, who presided over the trail of John Stone, 59, said in a 12-page opinion the reasons Stone is seeking an appeal with the high court, and ultimately a reversal of his conviction and sentence, should be rejected by the court. Stone, of Shickshinny, was convicted in September of firstdegree murder in the October 2010 death of Catherine Tabit, 37, of Kingston. Prosecutors say Stone used a 13-inch hatchet to deliver at least 12 blows to Tabit. Lupas sentenced Stone in November to life in prison without parole. Stone filed his appeal to the Superior Court in March, citing five issues he says are grounds for his conviction to be overturned. Lupas said in his filing he did not improperly rule on testimony regarding premeditation because a defense expert, Richard Fischbein, testified the killing “did not look premeditated” and that Lupas felt he ruled correctly since it is ultimately up to the jury to decide if Stone formulated intent and premeditation in the murder. Lupas also wrote the blood spatter expert, state Trooper James Shubzda, was a qualified expert based on the fact that he has been a trooper for 15 years, processed more than 1,500 crime scenes and has investigated more

than 130 homicide cases. “He further testified that he had training in blood evidence identification and bloodstain Stone pattern analysis, and that he was previously qualified as an expert,” Lupas wrote. Also, defense attorneys should not have been permitted to present evidence of a prior conviction Tabit had 14 years ago because the case was so old and because Stone never offered evidence of self-defense at the time of his trial. That self-defense argument, Lupas said, also does not apply to Stone’s case because no testimony was given to show that Stone believed he was in danger of death or harm, or that Stone needed to kill Tabit to save his own life. “There was not a scintilla of evidence by way of testimony or exhibit to suggest that Catherine Tabit was in possession of a weapon,” Lupas wrote. A request for a mistrial during Stone’s testimony was also unwarranted, Lupas wrote, because he ordered a prosecutor to reword the question, and because Stone previously made statements to police before his testimony at the trial. According to state law, Lupas said, Stone was not subject to impeachment because he had already made statements to police and his testimony wasn’t the first statement he made in the case. “As (Stone) chose to testify, this case was largely decided on this issue of credibility,” Lupas wrote. “Once the jury resolved that issue, their verdict of guilty of murder in the first-degree was not surprising,” the judge wrote.

‘Dark Shadows’ actor Frid dies By ROB GILLIES Associated Press

TORONTO — Jonathan Frid, a Canadian actor best known for playing Barnabas Collins in the 1960s original vampire soap opera “Dark Shadows,” has died. He was 87. Frid died Friday of natural causes in a hospital in his home town of Hamilton, Ontario, said Jim Pierson, a Frid friend and spokesman for Dan Curtis Productions, the creator of “Dark Shadows.” Frid starred in the 1960s gothic-flavored soap opera about odd, supernatural goings-on at a family estate in Maine. His death comes just weeks before a Tim Burton-directed version of Dark Shadows is due out next month starring Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins. Frid has a cameo role in the new movie in which he meets Depp’s character in a party scene with two other actors from the show. Pierson said Burton and Depp were fans of Frid, who played a vulnerable vampire in one of the first sympathetic portrayal of the immortal creatures.

Wilkes shows cutting-edge robotics Students demonstrate school’s high-tech gizmos in Metro Surgical Robotics Lab.

John Malachowski of Clarks Summit demonstrates a robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical procedure using the robotics equipment in the newly dedicated surgical robotic labs at Wilkes University on Thursday.

WILKES-BARRE – Moving computer cursors with your eyes, “feeling” skin with a pressuresensitive robotic arm, guiding cameras and surgical tools with a laptop or joystick … Wilkes University showed off a plethora of cutting-edge medical tools during a special unveiling of the new Metro Surgical Robotics Lab on Thursday. Our goal “is to be the best small engineering school in the state, but I believe with partnerships and things like you’ll see today, we can extend that to the best in the country,” Director of Wilkes Division of Engineering and Physics Rodney Ridley said during a brief presentation before a tour of the new lab. Achieving such a goal requires great staff, students, business partners and “you’ve got to have the toys,” Ridley said with a grin. In this case, the business partners include InterMetro Industries, the main sponsor of the project; Geisinger Medical Center, which is providing surgeons to teach students procedures with

represented. She was misdiagnosed with cancer and endured seven months of chemotherapy before seeking a second opinion that disclosed she never had cancer. She said she has struggled with physical and emotional after-effects of the ordeal. Brandy Stets, of Wilkes-Barre Township, sat on the jury that awarded Kachurak the money. She said she was shocked by the ad Holden’s camp produced. The case took place in 2007. Cartwright called the ad “malicious and slanderous.” He said it accused him and his family of

paigning, calling a recent ad “malicious and slanderous.” Holden’s camp stopped airing the ad. Eric Nagy, Holden’s campaign manager, said the ad was not about Cartwright’s clients. “It’s about facts,” Nagy said. “And the fact is, he and his firm have contributed thousands of dollars to judges they argue cases in front of. So, while he accuses Tim Holden of receiving money from lobbyists, Matt Cartwright conveniently ignores

the equipment, and Keystone Automation. Assistant professor of mechanical engineering Xiaoli Zhang gave a quick tour of the lab while students showed how the hightech gizmos work. Songpo Li demonstrated a device that tracks eyeball movement while looking at a screen, moving a cursor to that screen location. Justin Flam, a senior from New Jersey, moved a pen-like device attached to a mechanical arm, making a similar arm move remotely and press against various materials. The remote arm could measure pressure and relay the

feeling to Flam’s hand. The same device could be used to feel “virtual” objects on a screen, such as the image of a cow or a bowl of apples. John Malachowski of Clarks Summit used a laptop to manipulate a larger robotic arm Zhang said could hold a camera or surgical instrument. Ultimately, she said, the goal would be to operate the camera with the device that follows the eyes. The lab will be used by undergraduates, Ridley said, noting that in many schools such sophisticated equipment, if it’s available at all, is reserved for graduate stu-

dents or those working in specialized fields. The goal at Wilkes, Ridley said, is not to produce engineers with highly specialized knowledge, but to produce “problem solvers.” Students not only get to work with the equipment, Zhang said, they will learn to make it. She held up a small cylindrical narrower than most little fingers and said it is the prototype for a remote control robot that would be even tinier – wee enough to enter a patient through the mouth and allow a doctor to do stomach surgery without a scalpel or external scar.

improper ethical behavior. “I understand politics is a tough sport,” he said. “But my opponent ran an ad that accused me of bribing a judge.” Cartwright said the donation to Toole’s campaign was made years before the corruption scandal broke. He said he and his family have contributed to many campaigns over the years.

Cartwright then criticized Holden for refusing to meet him in debate. “Yet he will spread these vile untruths about me, my family and my client,” Cartwright said. “But he won’t meet me to discuss the issues of the 17th District. If that’s the kind of congressman the voters want, then I wish them luck.”

Ex-juror weighs in Stets, who was asked by the Cartwright campaign to appear, said she felt she had to come forward to “do the right thing.” “It’s a lie,” Stets said of the commercial and its implications. “The jury listened to three weeks of testimony and we decided to make the award. The judge had nothing to do with it.”

Kachurak, with her mother, Pat, and husband, Harry, at her side, said she never expected to be a part of a political campaign ad. “After everything I have been through with my family, to see this ad that says I did something criminal, makes me feel humiliated and violated,” Kachurak said. “To have somebody say something negative about me for their own personal and political gain is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. I deserved that verdict.” She said she and her family were devastated when she was told she had cancer. She said her children thought they were going to lose their mother and the chemotherapy caused many other side effects.

the fact that he has lobbied judges himself. You can’t have it both ways.” Holden later issued a statement Thursday that said “both sides have gone too far.” “Between Matt Cartwright and outside organizations, over $1 million has been spent on negative ads against me on TV, in the mail, and on the Internet,” Holden said. “In this primary, both sides have gone too far. I take responsibility for my campaign’s part in that, and yesterday, ordered that only positive ads will be aired detailing my record on Social Security and the need to protect it from Republican efforts to dismantle it. I urge

Matt Cartwright to join me in running a positive campaign for the final five days of this campaign.” Nagy said Cartwright “only seems to find fault with negative ads against him.” “To be clear, no one is questioning the pain and suffering of the victim in this case, least of all Tim Holden, who has secured tens of millions of dollars in funding for Hershey Medical Center’s Cancer Institute,” Nagy said. “Regardless, the ad has been removed.” Nagy said there have been many negative attacks in the campaign -- from both sides. “Enough is enough,” he said.

Holden called for an end to negative campaign ads, and will only air positive ads from here on out, Nagy said. “Congressman Holden has challenged Matt Cartwright to do the same,” Nagy said. Nagy said Cartwright’s ads have accused Holden of poisoning drinking water and accepting campaign contributions from Halliburton and former vice president Dick Cheney. “All flat out lies,” Nagy said. “Matt Cartwright’s press conference today was meant to distract from his history of contributions to judges, the very thing our ad meant to shed light on. Again, it’s about facts.”

Jimmy Connors comments Former Scranton Mayor Jimmy Connors, a Cartwright supporter, said he never saw negative ads as bad the Holden ad. Connors was involved in eight campaigns, winning six. “This went over the top,” Connors said. “It crossed the line. It looks like an act of desperation on Holden’s part.”

process consultant charges will be paid 75 percent of the normal rate. Murphy said $300 per hour is 75 percent of his normal hourly rate. During the next phase of the process – the concession phase – Fox Rothschild attorneys will be billed at $500 per hour and consultants at 100 percent of their normal rate. Murphy’s rate would then be $400 per hour. Wohlstetter said prospective bidders have already inquired about the city’s parking assets. “We haven’t even sent out the (Requests for Qualifications),” Wohlstetter said. “That won’t happen until after the authority’s meeting next week.” The agreement estimates the total cost of Fox Rothschild’s services for the initial phase at $75,000 and an additional cost of $100,000 for the second phase. The firm required a $15,000 retainer. “If at the end of the bidding phase the client has not received a bid acceptable in its reasonable judgment, there is no obligation to proceed to the concession

Started last year, Fertile Grounds leased 8.8 acres of lowland along Bowmans Creek and had been supplying its 75 members with onions, cucumbers, peppers and other vegetables until flooding cut short its growing season. Those who lost out will get free produce for the first six weeks of this season, which runs from June 6 to Oct. 31. The farm has leased an additional 30 acres nearby and added a 1acre pick-your-own garden at Hill-

side Farms. In keeping with its sustainable agriculture plan, Fertile Grounds will rotate crops, mulch fields and allow cover crops such as alfalfa to grow on most of the acreage not touched. This year a total of 15 acres will be planted with 55 different crops mostly grown from seed in the greenhouse on Butler’s property. Some herbs and kale have already been planted and as well as a full acre of garlic. Earlier this week Butler’s tractor raked the rocky soil on the 8.8 acre plot, preparing the field for additional crops. The first boxes packed for members should include rhubarb, onions, broccoli, peas and few other items, said Shoval.

phase,” the agreement states. Mayor Tom Leighton announced last week his plan to look into leasing the city’s 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters. The city operates the Intermodal Center and the parking meters; the authority operates Park & Lock garages and surface lots. He said the city is seeking “a minimum” of $20 million up front and retention of the enforcement revenue from the parking meters. Parking authority member Ed Katarsky said he thinks more than $20 million must be paid up front. The Times Leader made a formal Right to Know request for the agreement and attorney Murray Ufberg, the authority’s solicitor, provided a copy Thursday. The proposal to privatize the city’s parking assets was presented to the authority in December, said Katarsky. So far, the authority has paid Fox Rothschild around $83,000, according to Wohlstetter.

Health care transition concerns seniors More student IDs Providing services in home and community addressed at older-adults workshop.

By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE -- One of the most important issues facing senior citizens is the transition they face if their health deteriorates, state Rep. Phyllis Mundy told a group of elder-care advocates on Thursday. “For this reason, I worked hard during my tenure as chairman of the House Aging and Older Adult Services Committee to improve access to home- and communitybased services for our seniors, not only because most seniors want to age in their own homes and communities, but because it is the right thing to do for our taxpayers,” Mundy, D-Kingston, said. Mundy and state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, spoke to about 200 people attending the fourth annual Educational Workshop for Older Adults at the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center. The event was hosted by the Elder Issues Coalition of Luzerne/Wyoming Counties. Mundy said that, on average, it costs $57,000 a year to care for a person in a nursing facility com-

pared to $28,000 in the home and community. “That is not to say nursing homes are not an important longterm care option; they are and will continue to be for those whose needs are too great to be cared for elsewhere,” Mundy said. She said Pennsylvania must build an infrastructure that allows people to stay in their own homes as long as possible. “It pains me to tell you today that Gov. Corbett recently proposed to ‘contain’ the growth in spending for the Aging Waiver in this year’s state budget,” Mundy said. “While the state should absolutely review cases thoroughly to see if there’s any duplication of services, we do not want DPW doing the reviews in the same reckless way they have been doing other Medicaid eligibility redeterminations.”

AMANDA HRYCYNA/ FOR THE TIMES LEADER

Dorin Holte of Erin Home Health Care watches Dolores Jenceleski of Nanticoke wait her turn as Mary Wrazen of Drums fills out a chance to win a gift basket Thursday at the Educational Workshop for Older Adults at Genetti’s.

The Aging Waiver allows Pennsylvanians over age 60 who qualify to stay in their homes but receive state services. Trula Hollywood, executive director of the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming Counties, said older adults want to make decisions, not have them made for them. “We are a different sort of person (than past generations); we want to be a participant in our health care, not a recipient,” she said.

Mundy said the state has more choices than Corbett is conceding. “It doesn’t have to be a matter of which programs to cut,” she said. “It is really a question of priorities.” Pashinski said a national health care plan is needed and he commended President Barack Obama “for having the courage” to move it forward. Pashinski said Congress needs to work out the details and come to an agreement.

‘Oakies’ will be under surveillance

PLAINS TWP. – An area known as the Oakies in Plains Township near Wilkes-Barre will be under video surveillance targeting illegal dumping. Eight signs were erected within a mile stretch of North Main Street this week warning that the area is under watch and anyone caught littering will be prosecuted to the “fullest extent.” Township Commissioner Chairman Ronald Filippini said the decision to install the signs and video cameras was made in response to illegal dumping. “We’ve had a lot of dumping in that area. Every time we clean it up, the garbage comes back,” Filippini said.

Concerns had been raised that A C C E P T A B L E F O R M S OF ID FOR VOTING seniors, disabled persons and with the November genothers would be discouraged. Starting eral election, all photo IDs must be CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

Video surveillance signs have been posted along South Main Street in Plains Township near Wilkes-Barre to discourage illegal dumping.

There were numerous garbage bags and some tires and appliances along the road ready to be picked up from a recent clean-up. Filippini said there have been couches, refrigerators and mattresses dumped along the road and in the woods. “We have to become more

proactive to stop this dumping,” Filippini said. “We’re hoping the signs and the video surveillance will deter the dumping and catch some of these people.” A person convicted of scattering rubbish for the first time, a summary offense, can be fined $50 to $100 and receive a pos-

sible 90 days in jail. A second conviction is a third-degree misdemeanor with fines of $300 to $1,000 and community service or jail for up to one year. Penalties increase for third and subsequent convictions of dumping household trash, ashes or other garbage, according to the state’s crimes code.

Older Pennsylvanians who no longer drive can obtain a free photo ID card acceptable for voting from PennDOT, the Secretary of the Commonwealth said on Wednesday. Concerns had been raised that senior citizens, disabled persons and others would be discouraged from voting by the time and expense required in getting a photo identification card after the state adopted the requirement last month. Secretary Carol Aichele said those who have had Pennsylvania driver’s licenses since 1990 will be able to get a free non-driver license photo ID at any Department of Transportation driver license center. They will have to fill out an application form and swear they have no other acceptable photo ID. “If you had a Pennsylvania driver’s license, or a non-driver license photo ID, in most cases you will not be required to bring a birth certificate, or any other proof of identification or residence, to request a non-driver photo ID for voting purposes,” Aichele said. “Once you are verified as being in the system, PennDOT will provide you with a nondriver license photo ID, which you can use to vote.” Those whose licenses expired before 1990 should call PennDOT’s Customer Care Center at 1-800-932-4600 to verify their information is still in the system. “Any step that can be taken to make the issuance of an ID easier is a step in the right direction,” said state Rep. Mike Carroll, DAvoca. But he said he still has concerns about how some seniors that don’t drive will get to

A Pennsylvania Department of State legal opinion means current student IDs at two local colleges will meet requirements under a new state Voter ID Law. And a decision by Penn State University means all students will be able to use their soon-tobe issued IDs at polling booths this fall. The legal opinion that stickers bearing years that are affixed to IDs each semester or academic year are valid means cards issued by Misericordia University and Lackawanna College are acceptable. Luzerne County Community College IDs contain an expiration date, making them accepted as well. Ronald Ruman, the Department of State’s press secretary, said the department’s attorneys determined stickers bearing years or semesters are acceptable because they “qualify as having de facto expiration dates.” Since the requirement won’t

be enforced until the November general election, colleges have time to add an expiration date. Two local schools – Keystone College and Marywood University -- say they will add the dates for the fall semester. Two others are studying potential changes to current IDs – King’s College and Wilkes University – while the University of Scranton and Baptist Bible College plan no changes. The local Penn State University campuses have received word from University Park that beginning with summer orientation, all new student ID cards will include a printed expiration date that is five years from the date of issue. Current students with no other form of identification for voting will be issued an expiration sticker for their cards, said Susan Bartal, a spokeswoman for the Penn State Hazleton campus in Sugarloaf Township. Over the next three years as ID cards are replaced for new students, the stickers will be phased out. All of the local colleges said they will be doing outreach to inform students of the changes to the voting law, either through school offices or student-led clubs or organizations.

current and contain an expiration date, unless otherwise noted. Acceptable IDs include: • Photo IDs issued by the U.S. federal government or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. • Pennsylvania driver’s license or non-driver’s license photo ID (valid for voting purposes 12 months past expiration date). • Valid U.S. passport. • U.S. active duty and retired military ID (a service member or veteran’s ID must designate an expiration date or designate that the expiration date is indefinite). Military dependents’ ID must contain an expiration date. • Employee photo ID issued by federal, Pennsylvania, or a Pennsylvania county or municipal government. • Photo ID cards from an accredited public or private Pennsylvania college or university. • Photo ID cards issued by a Pennsylvania care facility, including long-term care facilities, assisted living residences or personal care homes.

the PennDOT centers to get those IDs. Ron Ruman, a department spokesman, said he believes “this will take care of 95 percent of our seniors.” Pennsylvania voters will be asked to show photo ID at the polls in the April 24 primary election, but will not be required to produce the photo ID until November’s general election. Primary voters without acceptable ID will be given a handout by poll workers, listing the acceptable IDs and where to get more information. Current election law, remaining in effect for the primary, requires first-time voters and people voting for the first time at a new polling place to show ID, though it need not be a photo ID. Acceptable identification for first-time voters can be proof of residence, such as a tax or utility bill.

NW Area takes over special needs School Board says return of instruction will save $155,000 compared to the LIU service. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

UNION TWP. – The Northwest Area School Board completed steps Wednesday night to return instruction for students with special needs to the district from the Luzerne Intermediate Unit during the 2012-13 school term. The board acted unanimously to approve a recommendation presented by Superintendent Ronald Grevera establishing classes for special-needs students in grades kindergarten through sixth at the intermediate school and grades seven through 12 at the high school. During his original presentation on April 4, Grevera estimated the district might save $155,000 in instructional and

transportation expenses by returning these programs to Northwest. The board’s vote on the matter was 8-0. Eight of nine school directors were in attendance. In conjunction with this decision, the board gave Grevera permission to seek applicants for two special-education teacher positions. The board also moved to refinance some its debt, and two directors, Randy Tomasacci, board chairman, and Albert Gordon, board secretary, criticized recent comments by Gov. Tom Corbett. Director Michael Kreidler made some initial comments about Corbett, but it was Tomasacci who charged “the governor doesn’t have a clue of what school boards do.” Corbett recently blamed school boards for increases in taxes and educational costs. “He doesn’t know what a tough job school boards have to make budgetary cuts and balance a budget and then negotiate with

teachers unions. … Nine volunteers from the community have to do that, not the governor,” Tomasacci said. Gordon said Corbett’s initiatives on educational expenses fall far short of those presented by Corbett’s colleagues Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey. Gordon said that in discussions he had recently with state Rep. Karen Boback, he expressed the view that to control costs “we have to take away the ability of teachers to strike.” Also, the board voted to renew its contract for food services with Nutrition Inc., including the following 2012-13 increases in cafeteria prices: 5 cents for breakfast, 20 cents for lunch and a 5 percent hike in a-la-cart costs for secondary and elementary students.

Regional EMA building plans discussed DALLAS TWP. – Members of the Back Mountain Community Partnership on Thursday discussed ongoing plans for a regional emergency management agency building to be constructed in Lehman Township. Lehman Township was awarded a $975,000 grant from gaming funds on behalf of the partnership last month for the project. The partnership initially requested $1.2 million in the grant application. Chairman James Reino Jr. said a committee consisting of partnership members was formed and discussions were held with EMA officials to determine whether the project could be scaled down. Reino said the major change in the project plans include removing the proposed pole barn and instead building an addition on

the existing building. The site is a former medical building located off state Route 118. Reino said this change will save money while also better utilizing existing space at the site. He also said discussions with EMA officials led the group to include about an addition $30,000 worth of emergency equipment than initially requested in the grant application. Reino said furniture was another piece of the project that was scaled back to correspond with the monies available. The project was developed after two tropical storms wreaked havoc on the Back Mountain late last year. In other business, Lynn Banta of the Back Mountain Chamber of Commerce told members that the business expo held at Misericordia University on Wednesday was a well-attended and success-

ful event. She also said the partnership’s membership in the chamber has officially been processed, and research conducted by an intern proved the partnership is the only governmental organization of its kind in the state. Vice Chairman John Wilkes Jr. said the municipalities should provide a training session for road department workers for a jointly purchased radar speed trailer. He said the mechanism is more complicated than originally thought, and a training session with those who would be relocating the equipment would be beneficial.

OUR OPINION: FOOD RECOVERY

Keep your grub out of garbage

S ANOTHER Earth Day observance nears this weekend, consider this question: How much of your household garbage consists of food? If you’re like most Americans, you ditch lots of kitchen scraps, unwanted leftovers and spoiled foods into the trash rather than finding better options. Consequently, in 2010, we collectively tossed 33 million tons of food, making it the top material in the municipal waste stream to ultimately reach landfills and incinerators, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA and other environmentally focused groups are encouraging people to rethink their food-handling strategies, from decisions made at the supermarket about how much to buy, to considerations at home about reuse and recycling. Can you share leftovers with a local soup kitchen? Salvage vegetables from tonight’s dinner for tomorrow’s tasty soup? Do you compost? The EPA recently recognized State College, the Centre County community next to Penn State University’s main campus, for its pioneering (at least in Pennsylvania) curbside food waste collection. Other municipalities are urged to explore the option, allowing peo-

ple to plop certain items – fruits, veggies, coffee grounds – in containers for later pickup and composting, not unlike yard and garden waste collections. Beyond keeping the materials from piling up in landfills, food recovery efforts can counteract another problem: climate change. Rapidly decomposing foods “become a significant source of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas,” according to an EPA news release. Eliminating table waste from your household garbage also might save you money in trash-removal costs. If nothing else, this “green” idea offers food for thought.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I wouldn’t be surprised if you saw more dismissals and more being forced out sooner rather than later.” U.S. Rep.

So far, 1 1 agency employees have been implicated to varying degrees in the incident in Colombia.

EDITORIAL BOARD

wolves are an endangered species. The answer, based on the recent annual NRA convention, is apparently forever. Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, the event’s headliner, slammed Obama for “employing every imaginable ruse and ploy” to restrict gun rights (apparently, his ruses are so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye) and warned that if the president wins a second term, he will finally launch the NRA’s longhyped attack on guns. Unfortunately, though, the president that Republicans portray as a wolf in sheep’s clothing is really just a sheep. If the NRA persists in crying wolf despite this obvious fact, it’s because gun owners might become complacent if they realized the battle against gun control has been largely won – which might prompt them to stop sending money to the NRA.

saw television commercials in which Congressman Tim Holden is slinging mud at Matt Cartwright, his primary opponent. Mr. Holden is calling Mr. Cartwright wealthy and out of touch. I know Matt Cartwright, Marion Munley and the Munley family. They have spent their careers fighting for the working men and women of our area. Both Matt and his wife, Marion, have worked full time in the field of law for more than 25 years and deserve any success they have. I understand Mr. Holden has never held a job in the private sector and always has had a political job. We need someone like Matt Cartwright who knows what it’s like to run a business, not a career politician. Mr. Holden’s commercials show what is wrong with Washington. It’s time for a change. I am voting for Matt Cartwright. William Gibbons Drums

Obama anti-gun? A An NRA fairy tale

URING THE 2008 presidential campaign, the National Rifle Association spent millions of dollars on political ads claiming that Democratic candidate Barack Obama was out to take Americans’ guns away; one typical ploy was an NRA website, called GunBanObama.org, whose banner headline read, “Obama would be the most anti-gun president in American history.” In the wake of Obama’s election, gun sales soared and ammunition prices skyrocketed as consumers stockpiled bullets in preparation for a war on gun rights that never happened. Obama hasn’t proposed any anti-gun legislation in his first term, and has rarely mentioned the topic. This makes us wonder how long the NRA and the politicians who do its bidding can continue to pretend there’s a wolf at the door before people look outside and discover that

s we celebrate National Volunteer Week, we recognize and thank Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center’s distinguished volunteers for their exceptional service. Approximately 330 volunteers, representing all the communities we serve, share their skills and compassion while assisting our patients, visitors, physicians and staff. They serve in virtually every hospital department, and we are fortunate to enjoy such a strong volunteer force. In 2011 alone, they provided nearly 40,000 hours of service – comforting patients, sharing a laugh and lending a hand with a host of requests. Volunteers are an integral part of the Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center family, and their dedication enhances the patient, family and visitor experience in more ways than could ever be mentioned. Please join with us in recognizing the volunteers at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center for the exceptional talent they donate on behalf of the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

Why doesn’t Holden stump on his merits?

am a Nanticoke resident and can’t vote for Congressman Tim Holden or Matt Cartwright. I had the pleasure of working for Matt Cartwright for seven years. Even though I was just a courier, he always treated me with respect and made me feel as important as anyone else on the team. I left the firm nearly two years ago and have nothing to gain by writing this letter. I feel dragging Matt’s character through the mud isn’t fair play. Congressman Holden has been very busy the last month or so telling the voters Matt contributed to crooked politicians. You would think a congressman who has been in office 20 years would be telling you about his accomplishments; or doesn’t he have any accomplishments of which to boast? Matt Cartwright made the same mistakes hundreds of other contributors and thousands of voters made, supporting crooked politicians. Does that make him a bad person? Congressman Holden sought and received the endorsement from the same party that endorsed the crooked politicians. Many good people contributed to the same crooked politicians. Does that make them bad people? I have three questions for Congressman Holden: 1. Did you seek and receive the endorsement from the same party that backed the crooked politicians? If you did, why is Matt so bad? 2. Did you seek and receive contributions from any of the same people who contributed to the crooked politicians? If you did, why is Matt so bad? 3. After 20 years in Congress, what are your most important accomplishments, other than giving yourself big pay raises? We still don’t know. It is time the Luzerne County Democratic Party stops supporting winners of elections but losers in life. The last decade has not been good; just look at some of the people it has endorsed. How in good conscience could its members not support Matt?

I am a firm believer in term limits. Twenty years in Congress and attaining much power is not necessarily a good thing. Just read the daily paper or watch the nightly news, and see how many socalled “good” politicians’ lives have been destroyed because of their power. It appears no office is immune.

Writer says video proves that voter fraud exists

.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has declared that there is no proof that in-person voter fraud is a problem. A young man in a new video – that was provided to Breitbart.com, and which I have seen – demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws, by walking into Holder’s voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder’s primary ballot. Literally. The video shows a young man entering a Washington, D.C., polling place at 3401 Nebraska Ave., NW, on primary day of this year – April 3 – and giving Holder’s name and address. The poll worker promptly offers the young man Holder’s ballot. The young man then suggests that he should show his ID; the poll worker, in compliance with D.C. law, states: “You don’t need it. It’s all right. As long as you’re in here, you’re on our list, and that’s who you say you are, you’re okay.” The young man replies: “I would feel more comfortable if I just had my ID. Is it all right if I go get it?” The poll worker agrees. “I’ll be back faster than you can say ‘furious,’” the young man jokes on his way out, in a reference to the “Fast and Furious” gun-walking scandal that has plagued Holder’s Department of Justice. Holder has maintained that voter fraud is not a major problem in the United States, and that voter ID would not curb voter fraud in any case. As the video has proven, voter fraud is easy and simple – and might be increasingly common in the absence of voter ID laws. It already has shown how dead people can vote in New Hampshire, prompting the state Senate to pass a voter ID law; they’ve also shown people can use celebrity names such as Tim Tebow and Tom Brady to vote in Minnesota, prompting the state Legislature to put voter ID on the ballot as a constitutional amendment. So we will continue to hear from the Obama administration’s Eric Holder and the naysayers that voter ID is not required because there is no evidence of voter fraud. Yeah, right! Is that any way to win an election? Voter ID should be a requirement to vote in any election nationwide. Nick Pucino Nanticoke

ty other than Republican or Democratic. The category is separate from that of independents affiliated with no party, but the state does not provide a party-by-party breakdown. State Libertarian Party Chairman Lou Jasikoff said there are about 39,000 registered Libertarians in Pennsylvania. But, he said, that that figure under-represents the actual number because it does not reflect Libertarians who have registered Republican to vote for Ron Paul in the primary election. For his part, Boneham said he is coming to Wilkes-Barre to help build the Libertarian Party be-

cause he believes in its philosophy. “I did some research and I found out I’ve been a Libertarian all my life, but just realized it the last few years. “Libertarians stand up for our constitutional rights and they fight for our freedoms and the ability to actually govern ourselves instead of encouraging the government to feel like they are our rulers,” he said. Boneham was born in Detroit, but his family moved to Indiana when he was young. Since his “Survivor” shows – he was on the program three times, never winning the competition – he has devoted his life to giving empowerment talks and helping the community. Won $1 million prize Boneham won $1 million when he was voted the most popular “Survivor” contestant and he

gave $277,000 of it to the community. According to his website, on his second appearance on the TV show, the producers asked the viewers to vote for their favorite participant and he won going away. Boneham took the $1 million and paid the taxes on the winnings ($480,000), took care of his family’s bills and education ($250,000) and split the rest ($270,000) among three local charities. “What would our political leaders do with an extra million dollars?” he asked. “We paid our taxes, took care of our family and then helped to take care of our community. I chose to help children, my daughter (Raya, 12) chose the animals, and my wife (Laura) chose the elderly.” If elected, Boneham said he will empower the community and bring empowerment to the

blood, clothing or human remains in the building, just down the street from Etan’s home, police spokesman Paul Browne said. The work is expected to take up to five days. Investigators received information over the past few months that Etan’s remains might be buried in the basement of the building, which at the time the boy disappeared housed the workspace of a carpenter who was thought to have been friendly with the boy, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Two other law enforcement officials confirmed an FBI dog detected the scent of remains at the building over the past few weeks. Etan’s disappearance drew national attention to child safety, ushered in a generation of parents who became afraid to send their kids out alone and helped fuel a movement to publicize missing children’s cases. Etan’s face was among the first to appear on milk cartons. President Ronald Reagan declared May 25, the day of his disappearance, National Missing Children’s Day. Etan’s parents, Stanley and Julie Patz, became outspoken advocates for missing children. For years, they refused to change their phone number, in the hope that Etan was alive somewhere, and might call. They never moved, although they obtained a court order in 2001 declaring the boy dead.

First undertaking Soon the presidency was his and his first undertaking was to complete the fundraising for the library, which was opened in 1999. The makeover of the campus – and the school’s reputation – were under way. “The campus has really developed very nicely,” MacDowell, 65, said. In his time at the university, which was known as College Misericordia when he arrived, the campus has greatly expanded and changed. All together, nine new or renovated buildings have been added to Misericordia’s campus during his time at the Back Mountain school, including converting the former Frontier Communications Building on Lake Street into John J. Passan Hall, home to the school’s health sciences programs. After the library project, the next item on the “to-do” list was the partial remodeling of the historic Administration Building, which was built in 1924. It was rededicated as Mercy Hall, in honor of the founders and sponsors of Misericordia, The Sisters of Mercy, in 2002. Other new buildings include Sandy and Marlene Insalaco Hall, Monsignor Andrew McGowan Hall and an unnamed 118-bed dorm that will open this fall. First football team coming Extensive renovation in athletic facilities were also completed, and the school will soon field a football team for the first time in its 88-year history. And the enrollment has nearly doubled in his time there. When MacDowell arrived in 1998, Misericordia enrolled 1,050 full-time students. By this fall, total full-time enrollment will exceed 1,800. “Mike MacDowell’s contribu-

gardless of how long they’ve worked for the county, said county retirement coordinator Rick Hummer. Hummer said he was equally surprised to learn about the loophole when he started working in his position. The requirement forced the retirement board this week to approve John Gilligan’s $71.60 monthly pension because he left county employment when he was over 60, even though he worked only two years as the county’s appointed sheriff. At least three other pensions for former employees over age 60 were approved this year to date. These employees each had one year and nine months of employment and will receive the following monthly pensions: David Wilde, prison, $143; Frank

PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH

ANOTHER EXIT

John Metz, chairman of the Misericordia University Board of Trustees, said the board will launch a nationwide search for a new president in the coming weeks. The executive committee of the Board of Trustees has begun to develop the process the university will use to select a new president, Metz said.

The trustees have chosen AGB Search of Washington, D.C., to conduct the search. A search committee, chaired by trustee Chris Borton of Borton-Lawson Engineering, will include trustees, faculty, staff, students and alumni. The new president will begin serving July 1, 2013.

tions to Misericordia have been nothing short of extraordinary,” said John Metz, chairman of the university’s Board of Trustees. “He has provided unparalleled leadership to the university and challenged the board of trustees to do the same. It will be hard to imagine Misericordia without him.” MacDowell took the kind words in stride and shared the credit with others. “It is unfortunate in many ways that the president of an institution receives many of the accolades for its progress,” MacDowell said. “The trustees, the faculty, the staff, the alumni and friends of the university have made the difference here.” One of MacDowell’s colleagues, who himself is retiring in a few months, noted the work done at Misericordia over the past dozen years. “Mike and Tina MacDowell have enjoyed a long and successful tenure at Misericordia, and they will be hard to replace. They have made a difference at the university and in the Wyoming Valley,” said Wilkes University President Tim Gilmour.

Those kinds of comments illustrate the path MacDowell set the school down when he arrived. While MacDowell said the students and graduates are his proudest accomplishments, he said he’s also proud of integrating the school into the Wyoming Valley community. “We’ve made substantial progress in raising the college’s presence (in the region),” said MacDowell, a Los Angeles native who has lived in more than a half dozen states in his life. When he first took the reins at Misericordia, he said the college “was not an integral part of the greater Wyoming Valley or Northeast Pennsylvania.”

Yenalevitch, court tipstaff, $156; and Mary Lou Woerffel, court administration, $97. Hummer said there’s no quick way to generate a report on the cost of all pensions permitted by the over-60 requirement. Retirement board members asked Hummer during Wednesday’s meeting to direct solicitor Donald Karpowich to research the law and determine if the county has the power to reject similar future requests under home rule.

But Hummer said the pension law allows employees with more than eight years of service to collect pensions early if they’re involuntarily eliminated through a layoff or loss of a re-election campaign. Musto Carroll, who lost to Stefanie Salavantis in November, will receive a $1,005 monthly pension. Hummer said that amount is 77 percent of what she would be eligible to receive if she had waited until she turns 60 to collect. Karpowich also will research this requirement to see if changes are permitted under home rule, Hummer said. Retirement board member Robert Lawton, who also is the county manager, also questioned Wednesday why two employees were permitted to buy back credit from previous parttime county employment to boost future pensions. State law allows employees to buy back past full-time county employment if they left and later

Second obscure provision Another obscure pension law requirement came to light Wednesday when the pension of former county District Attorney Jackie Musto Carroll was up for approval. Musto Carroll has 12 years of county employment and is 52, county records show. Employees who don’t have 20 years of employment normally must wait until they turn 60 to collect a pension.

Life’s next phase The next phase of his life will include writing, maybe some teaching and a lot more time to relax and travel. Those endeavors help to make his decision to retire a bit easier, though he said the decision for him and his wife Tina to step aside was a difficult one. “This is hardly an easy decision to make. Our time here has

Michael A. MacDowell’s departure as president of Misericordia University will mark fifth time in the past two years that a president of a university located in Luzerne or Lackawanna counties has stepped down or announced he was doing so. Others include: • The Rev. Jack Ryan succeeded the Rev. Thomas O’Hara as president of King’s College in WilkesBarre in 2011. O’Hara retired. • The Rev. Kevin Quinn was selected to replace the Rev. Scott. R. Pilarz as the president of The University of Scranton in 2011. Pilarz left to lead Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wis. • Tim Gilmour will step down as president of Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre on June 30. He will be replaced the next day by Patrick F. Leahy. • Mark Volk will become president at Lackawanna College in Scranton in July, replacing Raymond S. Angelli, who will retire.

been the most enjoyable of our lives. The friends we have made, the work we have undertaken together and the success the university has enjoyed are accomplishments about which we all should be proud,” said MacDowell, who noted the couple will continue to reside at Harveys Lake while also spending some time at their Florida home in the winter. By giving advanced notice of his intention to retire now, he gives the trustees 14 months to search for and select his successor. returned to work, but past retirement board members also have questioned the inclusion of parttime employment in the requirement. Hummer said Karpowich will research the matter but had already concluded the buy-back of part-time work must be permitted. Researching changes Some county citizens and officials believe the state home rule law allows changes in pension benefits and requirements for employees hired in the future, though a firm legal opinion has not been discussed at any public county meetings. The state law says home rule governments may not diminish the pension rights and privileges of former or present employees. Several county council members have said they want to explore the discontinuation of guaranteed pensions for future employees by switching them to 401(k) plans.

Finance Chief Vic Mazziotti to try to come up with the subsidy. Some county officials were taken aback last month when they learned the 2011 subsidy had not been paid. The county has gradually delayed paying the pension subsidy in recent years. Three years ago, the prior-year subsidy was paid the second week of January. Last year, the payment wasn’t released until the end of February. The fund’s actuary projected the county owes another $8.3 million for 2012.

two classes to go to get his degree, Boneham said he quit and returned to Indianapolis to care for his adoptive grandparents – Jenny and Lloyd Hollett. “I always wanted grandparents,” he said. “I fell in love with the Holletts and I wanted to help them when they needed help. They had no children, and I never knew my grandparents.” Before Boneham was on “Survivor,” he was a community leader in Indianapolis. For more 20 years he has worked with young offenders in the court system. “We teach these kids how to make a legal living, how to have pride in yourself and how to provide for yourself,” he said. “Don’t just have your hand out.” You can read more about Boneham on his website: rupertforgovernor.com. Times Leader Reporter Matt Hughes contributed to this story. Stanley Patz didn’t respond to phone calls and email messages Thursday. A man who answered the buzzer at the family’s apartment said they wouldn’t be speaking to the media. No one has ever been prosecuted for Etan’s disappearance, but Stanley Patz sued an incarcerated drifter and admitted child-molester, Jose Ramos, who had been dating Etan’s babysitter around the time he disappeared. Ramos, who is not the carpenter whose workspace was being searched, denied killing the child, but in 2004 a Manhattan civil judge ruled him to be responsible for the death, largely due to his refusal to contest the case. Ramos is scheduled to be released from prison in Pennsylvania in November, when he finishes serving most of a 20-year-sentence for abusing an 8-year-old boy. His pending freedom is one of the factors that has given new urgency to the case. Investigators have looked at a long list of possible suspects over the years, and have excavated in other places before without success. The 13-foot by 62-foot basement space being searched Thursday sits beneath several clothing boutiques. Investigators began by removing drywall partitions so they could get to brick walls that were exposed back in 1979 when the boy disappeared, Browne said. Browne said the excavation was part of a review of the case, which was reopened by the Manhattan district attorney two years ago. “This was a shocking case at the time and it hasn’t been resolved,” Browne said. by Pamela Keller Shonk, of Mountain Top, at about 8 a.m. • Megan Ballard, of Stroudsburg, reported Tuesday a CD player was stolen and the dashboard was damaged on her vehicle in the area of 610 Mayflower Crossing. • Melainee Armes, of West Wyoming, reported Tuesday a Kindle Fire was stolen from the Children’s Service Center on South Franklin Street. • Eric Marsh, of Plymouth, reported Tuesday a cellphone was stolen from a vehicle at George Avenue and Mill Street. • Police said they cited Donald Warren, 30, of Grove Street, Wilkes-Barre, with harassment after Shavonne Garris, claimed he struck her in the face at 44 Walnut St. on Sunday. from 2012 property taxes. As of Thursday morning, the county received $25.57 million, Mazziotti said. Tax bills were delayed because the new council needed time to amend the budget adopted by former commissioners. Mazziotti expects an influx in tax payments near the end of the discount period, when taxes are marked down 2 percent. The discount period ends two months after bills are issued, and the bills were mailed between Feb. 24 and March 31, depending on the municipality, officials said. Mazziotti said partial payment may be an option if the county is unable to turn over the entire $6.1 million in May. Taxpayers have been stabilizing the county pension fund since 2002 because employee contributions and investment returns haven’t kept pace with guaranteed payouts to present and future retirees.

In tonight’s $30,000 Bobby Weiss Final, the last of the series, I am going with longshot P L Eureka to take the top prize. Trained by Henrik Lundell, the four-year old son of Kadabra had an impossible journey last week, finishing a well beaten fifth from the tough nine post. This after a dominating performance the week prior, where he won wrapped up in 1:56.3. Grant it driver Marcus Johansson will once again have his hands full with another outside draw (slot 8), but with an aggressive steer out of the starting gate I believe this is certainly a live trotter worthy of a solid look in that tenth race.

The Yankees’ Curtis Granderson follows through on a home run during the fourth inning of a game against the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium Thursday in New York. Granderson hit three home runs in the game.

One Grand night for Yankee star

Orioles 5, White Sox 3

CHICAGO — Jason Hammel struck out 10 and closer Jim Johnson fanned Alex Rios with the bases loaded to give the Baltimore Orioles a victory over the Chicago White Sox. Adam Jones hit his fifth homer of the season for Baltimore. The two-run shot in the fifth inning was his first this year with a runner on base. Hammel (2-0) matched a career high for strikeouts, doing it in just six innings. He worked out of trouble early, stranding the bases loaded in the first and third. Johnson earned his sixth save. He has converted 14 straight chances dating to last season.

Hammel bested Gavin Floyd (1-2), who allowed five runs and six hits in six innings. Rays 9, Blue Jays 4

TORONTO — Evan Longoria hit a two-run homer and came within a triple of the cycle, Desmond Jennings added a solo shot and the Tampa Bay Rays ended a 10-game road trip by beating the Toronto Blue Jays. Longoria went 3 for 4 with a season-high four RBIs and reached base four times as the Rays tagged Blue Jays righthander Henderson Alvarez for a career-high six earned runs. Longoria singled home a run in the first, homered in the fifth, drew an intentional walk in the seventh and hit an RBI double in the ninth. Alvarez (0-1) allowed six hits in 6 1-3 innings, walked two and struck out four. Rangers 10, Tigers 3

DETROIT — Yu Darvish pitched two-hit ball into the seventh inning and Mike Napoli homered for the fourth straight game, leading the Texas Rangers to a rout of the Detroit Tigers. The Rangers beat the Tigers in six games in last year’s AL championship series, winning the clincher 15-5. This one wasn’t much closer, with Texas scoring five runs in the eighth and finishing with 19 hits. Detroit (9-4) has the American League’s second-best record behind the Rangers (11-2).

Arroyo, Reds salvage game against Cardinals The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Bronson Arroyo worked eight strong innings and the Cincinnati Reds broke loose with three home runs Thursday for a 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals that averted a three-game sweep. Brandon Phillips, Ryan Ludwick and Drew Stubbs homered. The Reds had connected just once in their previous nine games and began the day with a .211 batting average. The Reds picked on Adam Wainwright (0-3), a 20-game winner in 2010 coming off reconstructive elbow surgery that sidelined him all of 2011. Wainwright is winless in his first three decisions for the first time in his career. He allowed four runs in five innings, leaving him with a 9.88 ERA. Matt Holliday’s three-run homer in the sixth was the only damage against Arroyo (1-0), who struck out five and walked none while scattering five hits. Marlins 5, Cubs 3

MIAMI — Greg Dobbs hit a two-run double and the Miami Marlins’ strong bullpen finished off a three-game sweep that sent Chicago to its fifth straight loss.

NEW YORK — Curtis Granderson hit three home runs in the first four innings and matched a career high with five hits, leading the New York Yankees to a 7-6 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night. Granderson homered in each of his first three at-bats, driving in four runs, and helped Phil Hughes overcome a four-run first to secure his first victory of the season. Mark Teixeira hit his first home run of the year and the Yankees earned a split of the four-game series. The Twins have not won a series in New York since 2001, a year before Ron Gardenhire took over as their manager.

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L April 20 1910 — Addie Joss of Cleveland pitched the second no-hitter of his career, a 1-0 win over the White Sox in Chicago. 1912 — Fenway Park was opened in Boston and the Red Sox defeated the visiting New York Yankees 7-6 in 11 innings. Tiger Stadium in Detroit also opened its doors as the Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians 6-5. 1916 — The Chicago Cubs played their first game at Weeghman Park — renamed Wrigley Field in 1926 — defeating the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in 11 innings. 1920 — Manager Gavvy Cravath of the Philadelphia Phillies inserted himself as a pinch hitter and beat the New York Giants with a three-run homer, 3-0. It was his last home run in the majors. 1937 — Gee Walker hit for the cycle on opening day to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 win over Cleveland. Walker hit the cycle in reverse order: home run, triple, double, single. 1938 — Cleveland’s Bob Feller pitched the first of 12 career one-hitters, beating the St. Louis Browns 9-0. 1939 — In his first major league game, Ted Williams hit a 400-foot double in four at-bats as the Boston Red Sox lost 2-0 to New York at Yankee Stadium. 1967 — Tom Seaver of the New York Mets recorded his first major league victory with a 6-1 triumph over the Chicago Cubs. Seaver went 7 2-3 innings and gave up eight hits and one run. 1982 — The Atlanta Braves recorded their 12th consecutive victory from the beginning of the season — a 4-2 decision over Cincinnati in Atlanta — and eclipsed the major league record set a year earlier by the Oakland A’s.

Clemens’ new pitch could be trouble

Government may take swings with other players if past hearing is questioned. By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — The Roger Clemens perjury retrial could turn into an ad hoc forum on the general problem of drug use in baseball, depending on the outcome of the latest lawyers’ spat over the landmark congressional hearing that eventually landed the seven-time Cy Young Award winner in court. As jury selection inched forward Thursday — the panel was narrowed to 36, and opening arguments were set for Monday afternoon — the government responded to plans by Clemens’ lawyers to challenge whether the 2008 hearing in which Clemens testified was a “competent tribunal.” Fine, responded the government. If the defense does that, prosecutors should be able to introduce all sorts of evidence to show why Congress called the hearing. In a filing with the court, the government said it should be allowed to have testimony about “drug use by other major league players,” including “more detailed testimony regarding the use of steroids by Jose Canseco” as well as testimony related to teenage suicides attributed to steroid use. “Put simply: defendant cannot have it both ways,” the government’s filing said. Clemens’ lawyer, Rusty Hardin, has indicated throughout the week that he plans to raise doubts about the hearing. Hardin told one prospective juror: “There’s going to be a challenge by the defense as to the propriety of the hearing. ... and the way it was conducted.” Hardin has filed a brief suggesting the hearing wasn’t “competent” because it wasn’t an attempt to gather facts that could help Congress do its job of creating laws. At the same time, the Clemens team doesn’t want its client to be a victim of any sort of “guilt by association” with other players. His lawyers have already asked the court to bar Clemens’ former teammate, Andy Pettitte, from testifying that he received human growth hormone from Brian McNamee, the same trainer who says he injected Clemens with steroids and HGH. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton is expected to hear oral arguments on both motions Monday. He had hoped to rule on the Pettitte matter Thursday, but the time-consuming jury selection took up the entire court day before the judge cut the session short to attend a previously scheduled engagement. Walton also plans to select the final 12 jurors and four alternates on Monday morning, the fifth day of the trial. That’s one day longer than it took to seat the jury for Clemens’ first trial last July. Clemens is accused of lying when he said he never used steroids or HGH at the 2008 congressional hearing and at a deposition that preceded it. Last year’s mistrial was called after the government showed the jury evidence that had been ruled inadmissible. The specific charges are that Clemens obstructed Congress, made false statements and committed perjury, and Hardin this week frequently gave prospective jurors what sounded like a preview of his closing argument as he spoke about the various standards of proof. “Somebody might be wrong in what they say under oath,” Hardin told one prospect Thursday, “but it might not be a deliberate or intentional lie.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Another game, another strong pitching performance and another win for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. For the second straight day the Yankees got a stellar outing from their starter. On Thursday, Adam Warren threw six innings only allowing one run on four hits while fanning five to lead Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre to a 5-3 victory over Rochester at Frontier Field. Warren’s start followed D.J. Mitchell’s eight shutout innings in Wednesday’s win against the Red Wings. Warren, who threw 101 pitches and 61 for strikes, saw his ERA drop more than two runs from 7.45 to 5.17 in his second straight quality start. Warren wasn’t the only big contributor for the Yankees as Steve Pearce boomed a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth to break a 1-1 tie giving the Yankees the lead for good. Scoring started in the bottom of the first for the Yankees, who plated a run without a hit while taking advantage of two Rochester errors. Ray Kruml reached on an error, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Rene Rivera. Kruml then scored on a groundout by Francisco Cervelli for a 1-0 lead. The Red Wings evened the score at 1-1 in the top of the fifth. After Mike Hollimon tripled with one out, he scored when Darin Mastrioanni singled over the drawn in infield. That run ended the Yankees 15 1/3 inning scoreless streak dating back to Tuesday’s game. Warren got in a jam later in the inning after Ben Revere reached on an error by shortstop Ramiro Pena

and Mastrioanni was on third. But Warren struck out Brian Dozier to end the threat. Then came Pearce’s two-out, three-run home run in the bottom of the frame. He drove a 1-1 pitch over the left field wall for a 4-1 lead and his second longball of the season; he now has seven RBI on the season. BACK WITH SWB With Cody Eppley being called up to New York on Thursday, the Yankees signed Nelson Figueroa to a minor league deal and he was assigned to the Scranton/WilkesBarre roster. Figueroa, who is currently on the temporary inactive list with the Yankees while he prepares for the season, pitched in a simulated game at Frontier Field on Thursday. When he finally takes the field for SWB he will be the fifth player to play for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons and the Yankees. Figueroa suited up for the Red Barons in 2000 and 2001 going 8-6 with a 2.95 ERA in 21 games for the Barons. Yankees 5, Red Wings 3

know how to win in the playoffs,” Walker said. “It’s going to be tough for us. But once we get to our game, keep them off the power play and stay five-on-five, I like our chances.” Goaltender Brad Thiessen agreed that staying out of the box is critical against a Bears power play that was tops in the league. Other than that, he really doesn’t expect any surprises come playoff time. “We know going in that they have a pretty skilled group up front. We played them 12 times in the regular season, and there aren’t too many secrets right now,” Thiessen said. THE GREAT GOALTENDING MYSTERY Penguins head coach John Hynes is keeping a secret. After Thursday’s practice he admitted he knows who is going to start in net. Brad Thiessen or Scott Munroe? “I’ll name it after morning skate (today),” Hynes said. Why wait? “We feel like both guys can play. It’s a different situation going into the playoffs with how you prepare the day before, your routine,” he said. “It’s important that both guys have the mindset that they’re going to play.” NHL PLAYOFF TAKE The physical play during the first week of the NHL playoffs has generated a buzz. Ratings are up and so is the talk. Hynes said the increased attention is a good thing, but player safety has been compromised at times. Penguins captain Ryan Craig said the rough stuff is just a reflection of how badly teams want to win in the playoffs. “I think the hockey’s been great,” he said. “We’re playing a competitive sport where the winner moves on. Anytime anything went over the line, it’s been dealt with by the NHL. I don’t think as a fan or a hockey player that we want to take away that competitive edge and that will. Every series has that passion that you

POSITION-BY-POSITION BREAKDOWN FORWARDS Penguins – The Penguins offense scored 235 goals – sixth best in the AHL. They were led by 27-goal scorers Ben Street and Bryan Lerg. Next highest was Geoff Walker with 18 goals. Although they don’t have the number of dynamic goal scorers that Hershey does, the Penguins forwards are at their best when they are clicking as a group. That means effective forechecking, puck possession down low and getting shots through with traffic in front. It all adds up to a balanced scoring attack, one that resulted with 12 forwards registering 10 or more goals in the regular season. Hershey – The Bears’ 244 goals was second in the league, and they were led by Ryan Potulny (who led last season’s playoffs with 26 points for Binghamton), who had 33 tallies. They also had four players score more than 50 points, including AHL scoring champion Chris Bourque (27-66-93). But one of those players, Keith Aucoin and his 70 points in 43 games, is gone. He’s up with Washington for right now. Still, even without Aucoin the Hershey attack is a potent one. Edge – Draw. The Bears have prolific goal scorers while the Penguins have balance and depth. DEFENSE Penguins – The blueline was faced with a stiff challenge this season when Thiessen was up in Pittsburgh and Munroe sat out with an injury late in the year. In front of rookie Patrick Killeen, the defense stepped up to maintain the ship. Brian Strait – perhaps the most reliable blueliner, and skilled rookie Simon Despres are up with Pittsburgh. Still, veteran Joey Mormina, along with Robert Bortuzzo and Cody Wild are more than capable in their own end. Alex Grant emerged as a serious threat on the point, totaling 37 points on the season. Veteran Alexandre Picard is as steady as they come in both zones, and he brings a wealth of veteran leadership. Hershey – The Bears defenseman can put up points, led by Patrick McNeill (10-31-41) and Tomas Kundratek (12 goals). But defensively, the group could be a liability for Hershey. Four of the Bears top defensemen were a minus on the season. Edge – Penguins. Plenty of veteran presence plus the offensive threats make the Penguins defense corps well-rounded. GOALTENDING Penguins – Scott Munroe and Brad Thiessen have both won playoff series in their careers. Experience isn’t an issue. Neither is skill. Munroe posted 19 wins and five shutouts – tied for second-best in the AHL. Thiessen had 23 wins and earned an extended stint with Pittsburgh this season. Against Hershey both were average. Thiessen was 5-3-1 with a 2.86 GAA and a .884 save percentage. In three games, Munroe won two and had a 3.16 GAA and a .889 save percentage. Hershey – While Washington stays alive against Boston in its series, Hershey is without both of the goaltenders they relied on for the regular season. If Washington is eliminated soon, Braden Holtby and Dany Sabourin should return and the Bears net, especially with Holtby, is looking pretty good. But for right now the Bears will go with a tandem of Daren Machesney – a journeyman who spent most of the last few seasons in the ECHL, and rookie Scott Greenham. Edge – Penguins. With Holtby and Sabourin up, it’s a no-brainer. If they return, it might give the Bears a slight edge. Still, Munroe and Thiessen are unflappable and about as good a tandem that the Penguins have had in quite some time. SPECIAL TEAMS Penguins – The power play got into a rhythm this season of putting its big players in front of the net while cranking in shots from the point. It worked. They finished the season with an 18.8 percent success rate, 10th best in the league. The penalty kill was inconsistent, finishing at 81.6 percent and 22nd overall. It can play better. Hershey – The Bears power play was tops in the AHL at 25.5 percent. It’s deadly. And it’s almost unstoppable if Aucoin comes back from Washington. The penalty kill was also strong at 84.4 percent – fourth best in the AHL. Edge – Hershey. The top power play and fourth-best penalty kill is about as effective as you can get. PIVOTAL PLAYER Penguins – Jason Williams. He has his name on the Stanley Cup, but that’s not all. Williams has 27 NHL playoff games to his credit and is a crafty veteran. He is masterful with the puck, deadly from the point and perhaps the best playmaker the Penguins have. Hershey – Jacob Micflikier. He was a member of the Charlotte team that eliminated the Penguins from last season’s playoffs. This season he produced at almost a point-per-game pace for the Bears, and can be overlooked among Hershey’s other high profile forwards. Micflikier also adds a physical, agitating style which is invaluable in the playoffs. PREDICTION Without Aucoin and Holtby, the Penguins win it in four. If they do make a return at some point in the series, the Penguins take it in five.

want.” Does Hynes want the same level of physicality from his players in the Hershey series? Yes… to a degree. “They are going to be gritty, competitive games, but all of your aggressiveness has to be to impact the game in a positive way,” Hynes said.

QUICK HITS The new five-game format for the first round shouldn’t make much difference in how players approach the series. Craig said it’s easy to think a shorter series is a big deal, but the goal is still the same. “It’s still a series and we al-

ready know we have to get to three,” he said. “We still take it one game at a time, one period at a time.” Hynes agreed with the one game at a time approach. “You don’t really look at it as a series. Every game is going to be different. You just have to win the one that’s in front of you,” he said.

crowd of about 200 fans, faculty and friends. “I just felt like it was time for me to step down knowing that Holly was going to be in great hands,” Summitt said. “She’s a great coach and you know I’m going to continue to support her. You know, it’s never a good time, but you have to find the time that you think is the right time and that is now.” She will become Tennessee’s new “head coach emeritus” with the school paying her the $1 million bonus she had been due once she coached her 40th season. There were season-long questions about Summitt’s health, but the mood at the press conference was upbeat. Summitt, who turns 60 in June, joked how coming to work every day in her new role and staying around students may help keep her young. “I’m getting ready to turn the big one ... yeah 30,” Summitt said, after which someone from the crowd chimed in. “Hardly!” Summitt won more games than anyone else in NCAA college basketball during her 38 years at Tennessee. And while the ride on the coaching carousel may be over for her, there are more challenges and honors ahead. The White House says later this year Summitt will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor. President Barack Obama said Summitt is an “inspiration” as the coach who has won more games than anyone else in NCAA college basketball history and for her willingness to “speak so openly and courageously about her battle with Alzheimer’s.” “Obviously, I didn’t see it coming, but that’s a tremendous honor,” Summitt said of the Medal of Freedom honor. In her new role at Tennessee, Summitt will report to athletic director Dave Hart. “I made a choice early in my

long-time commentator on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, drew the line when it came to blindside hits such as the one Torres delivered, and Rangers forward Carl Hagelin’s elbow that knocked out Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson in Game 2 of their series. “To me, they’re cheapshots,” Cherry said on his Coach’s Corner segment Wednesday. “They are not warriors when you blindside guys like that.” Through the first eight days of the playoffs, nine players have been issued suspensions, including Torres who will learn whether his indefinite ban will be extended following a hearing Friday. Two other players, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma and the Ottawa Senators have also been fined. Penalty minutes are up over previous playoff first rounds. According to STATS LLC, teams areaveraging18penaltyminutes a game this year, which is pacing at the highest rate since 1998, when the first-round average was 20.1 minutes. Leading the way is the Flyers-Penguins slugfest of a series, which has produced 282 penalty minutes in four games. Yet the rise is coming on the heels of one of the least penalized regular seasons of the NHL’s modern era. Teams averaged 11.2 penalty minutes per game last season, the lowest total in at least 23 years, according to STATS. And it was a season in which the NHL made strides in addressing hits to the head after numerous star players — Crosby, Philadelphia’s James van Riemsdyk, Vancouver’s Daniel Sedin, Chicago captain Jonathan Toews and Sabres goalie Ryan Miller — missed stretches due to concussion-related injuries. “It’s emotion,” Sharks coach Todd McLellan said referring to the physical nature of the playoffs. “I think everybody believes they have a chance right now. Passionate groups, all 16 of

career to challenge myself to step up my game each and every day,” Summitt said. “You can be sure I will take this same attitude into my new role as head coach emeritus and continue to teach our players the same commitment. I can promise you ladies I’m here for you. Trust me that that will happen.” She capped her opening remarks by calling Warlick, her former player and assistant the past 27 years, over and handing over her whistle. Summitt said it was time, as she hugged Warlick with the crowd giving them a standing ovation. “I know this works because I’ve heard it a lot of times,” Warlick said, referring to the whistle. Warlick isn’t the only coach on the move. Tyler Summitt, Pat’s son, will be an assistant women’s coach at Marquette. “This was her decision, and I think that she took time after the season, thought about everything and the thing my mom’s always taught me is to put the team before yourself,” Tyler Summitt said. “She really felt like this was the best thing for the Lady Vol program. She’s still going to be in a mentoring role.” Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley, men’s basketball coach Cuonzo Martin along with members of the Lady Vols basketball team were among those in the crowd. Summitt tried to show people during the season that it was possible to function even in the face of dementia and Alzheimer’s. She had the blessing of Tennessee Chancellor Jimmy Cheek to keep coaching. She delegated duties to Warlick, the associate head coach who directed the Lady Vols during games and addressed reporters postgame with other assistants taking on much more of the workload in an emotionally draining season that felt like a farewell tour it wound up being. Yet Summitt’s every move was studied to see how she felt, down to how many officials she yelled at or her icy glares at a player while overseeing a Division I program with a busy national travel schedule. them, worked hard to get here and they’re trying to find an edge any way they can.” The NHL’s chief disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan has been faulted for being inconsistent. The criticism began when he fined Nashville captain Shea Weber the league maximum $2,500 for being “reckless” in punching and then shoving Detroit’s Henrik Zetterberg headfirst into the glass in Game 1 of their series. Though Zetterberg wasn’t hurt, Shanahan’s ruling led questions regarded what merited a suspension. “Right now it’s always going to be blurred lines. It’s never going tobeblackandwhite,”Predators defenseman Kevin Klein said. “But hopefully, guys come to terms with the rules and maybe back off just a little bit.” NBC hockey analyst Pierre McGuire believes Shanahan missed an opportunity. “I wish he suspended Shea Weber for a game. I think that would’ve sent a message around the league,” McGuire said. “He didn’t do that, so things kind of started to move pretty quickly.” McGuire does credit Shanahan for how he’s responded since by issuing multiple-game suspensions to several players, and one-game bans to such stars as Washington’s Nicklas Backstrom and Pittsburgh’s James Neal. And McGuire was impressed further by how the officials responded in setting the tone by calling eight penalties in the first period alone of Pittsburgh’s 10-3 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday. “The referees conducted themselves unbelievably well last night and created probably thetemplatefortherestoftheseries,” he said. “Players know if they act up, they’re done.” E-mail messages left with the NHL were not returned. The fisticuffs haven’t turned off fans. NBC announced that more than 18.4 million viewers have watched the playoffs through Tuesday. That’s up nearly 5 million over the same period as last year.

Mario Chalmers scored 16 points and Udonis Haslem grabbed 10 rebounds for Miami, which held the Bulls to a season-low point total and moved within 11⁄2 games of Chicago in the East race.

Brodeur nets playoff record The Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — Martin Brodeur bounced back from his shortest postseason performance with a record-setting 24th Stanley Cup playoff shutout, leading the New Jersey Devils to a 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers Thursday night, tying their first-round series at 2-all. Brodeur made 26 saves in taking over sole possession of the postseason shutout mark from Patrick Roy. The 39-yearold goaltender also added his second assist of the series, giving him 10 for his career, four behind all-time leader Grant Fuhr. The effort came two days after Brodeur was lifted after giving up three goals in 22:18 in a 4-3 loss. Zach Parise, Steve Bernier, Travis Zajac and Ilya Kovalchuk scored for New Jersey. Game 5 of the best-of-7 series will be Saturday in Florida. Brodeur made at least six outstanding saves in winning his 101st career postseason game, while seemingly benefiting from some early luck when Sean Bergenheim hit a

goalpost. Another difference in this game was the special teams. Florida, which was 6 of 10 on the power play in the first three games, failed to connect on six chances with the extra man, while the Devils converted twice. Florida had an excuse of sorts. Defenseman Jason Garrison, one of the quarterbacks of the Panthers’ power play, was sidelined with a lower back injury. Brodeur, however, made his best saves in 5-on-5 situations. He stopped Tomas Fleischmann on a break in in the first period and defenseman Dmitry Kulikov one-on-one in the second with a delayed penalty about to be called on New Jersey. Brodeur also stopped Kris Versteeg as the trailer on a 3-on-2 latter in the second and his best save might have been a snapping glove on former teammate John Madden in the third period. Parise scored the only goal the Devils needed on a power play at 6:08 of the second period on a double deflection.

Zajac got a piece of Marek Zidlicky point shot and Parise moved it again to get it past Scott Clemmensen.

Capitals 2, Bruins 1 WASHINGTON — Playoff rookie Braden Holtby followed up a shaky outing with a superb one by making 44 saves Thursday night, and Alexander Semin scored the go-ahead goal, leading the Washington Capitals to a victory over the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins that tied the first-round series at two games apiece. Marcus Johansson put the puck past Tim Thomas less than 1 1/2 minutes after the opening faceoff, but Boston’s Rich Peverley tied it later in the first period. Semin put Washington ahead for good with 1:17 left in the second on a power-play goal, his second score of the series. The best-of-seven Eastern Conference series shifts back to Boston for Game 5 on Saturday. Game 6 will be in Washington on Sunday.

early favorite to start at left tackle in 2012. That’s where Gress will likely be at the start of Saturday’s BlueWhite Game at Beaver Stadium, protecting the blindside of whoever happens to be at quarterback in the early portion of the scrimmage. Needless to say, the praise he received from his coaches was a boost. “That was kind of flattering,” Gress said. “It was pretty cool to hear. Encouraging more than anything to hear someone say something like that. I don’t want to say it was the credit that I deserve, but for them to say something positive in terms of the gains I made, that was great to hear.” After starting the spring at right tackle, Gress has been taking most of the first-team reps on the left side the past few weeks with senior Mike Farrell and redshirt freshman Donovan Smith splitting time on the right. Not bad for a guy who has only seen the field in 12 games so far – six in 2010 and another six in 2011. Listed at 6-foot-6, Gress says he has gone up to 310 pounds and has reduced his overall body fat while crediting Fitzgerald’s program. “Overall what Coach Fitz has done with me personally has helped me become more powerful and stronger overall,” said Gress, who also spoke highly of new position coach Mac McWhorter. “It’s in all regions of the body. It’s hard to specify any one thing.” That training, he said, has transferred over to the practice

money and benefits to finalize the payments due under the contract. Sollers said the university asked the family for a full release in return for the payments. But “that request was declined, and no release was signed.” The payments and benefits include a $3 million career bonus and hisfamily’suseofaBeaverStadium suite for 25 years.

New Blue-White format Penn State’s first look at Bill O’Brien on the field will come with a twist. The school announced Thursday that Saturday’s Blue-White Game will eschew a traditional football scoring system and instead pit the defense (Blue) against the offense (White). The offense will earn points through touchdowns (6), field goals (3), plays of 15 yards or more (2), two consecutive first downs (2) and extra points (1). The defense can score through touchdowns (7), turnovers (6, but 7 for a score), sacks (4), tackles for loss (2) and recording a three-and-out (1).

field and has “made a world of difference” with his burst off the line and his “punch” move. Penn State certainly hopes that it all transfers over into the season. For the third straight year, there is uncertainty about who will be playing quarterback. And the offensive line charged with protecting whoever wins that battle returns just one starter in center Matt Stankiewitch. Gress is optimistic that he can join Stankiewitch by the time the September opener against Ohio rolls around. “Of course that crosses my mind. It’s nice to think about,” Gress said. “But then I also have to remember that it’s a day-by-day process, and it’s only the spring. I have to keep working the summer and improve myself even more, so by the end of fall camp I’m even a better player than I am right now.”

SAN ANTONIO — Matt Every shot a course-record 9under 63 on Thursday to take a three-stroke lead over Hunter Haas after the first round of the Texas Open. Every, who has never finished higher than third on the PGA Tour, had nine birdies in a bogey-free round. It was a career best on the notoriously unforgiving TPC San Antonio course. Ben Curtis opened with a 67, and Fredrik Jacobson, Cameron Beckman, Jason Gore, Troy Matteson and Derek Lamely shot 68. Matt Kuchar bogeyed his final hole for a 70, and John-

NFL DRAFT

Sanderson’s departure leaves Herbert hopeful

Colts banking their prospects on Luck

By LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY, Iowa — The past had threatened to overshadow the future at this year’s U.S. Olympic Team Trials, with gold medal-winning wrestlers from each of the past four games planning comeback attempts. One of those former champions, Cael Sanderson, won’t make it to Iowa City. His absence could help open the door for upand-comer Jake Herbert to showcase his talents in London this summer. Herbert became the favorite to win the U.S. freestyle spot at 84 kilograms this weekend after Sanderson decided last week that his duties as a father and coach of NCAA champion Penn State were too pressing to leave behind. It was clearly a break for Herbert, who lost to Sanderson in the World Team Trials in 2011and was ranked No. 2 behind Sanderson headed into this weekend. But Herbert worked too hard over the past decade to focus on anyone — even Sanderson — blocking his path to the London Games. “I don’t really feel one way or the other. If he showed up and I

had to wrestle and beat him and that’s what I had to do to make the team, then it’s what I’d do to make the team,” Herbert said of Sanderson. “Him not being there is just one less person to worry about.” Herbert’s loss to Sanderson last year cost him a shot at his first world title, a rare damper in a career that’s usually defied modest expectations. Herbert didn’t dream about the Olympics nearly a decade ago at North Allegheny High outside of Pittsburgh. Herbert just wanted to win a Pennsylvania state title, which he finally did as a senior, and earn a college scholarship. Herbert signed with Northwestern, a solid program historically toiling in the shadow of powerhouse Iowa, and quickly blossomed into one of the nation’s top wrestlers. He won the national championship at 184 pounds in 2007 and 2009, and three years ago he took home the Dan Hodge Award as the country’s most dominant wrestler. Herbert also qualified for the Olympic Trials in 2008 through the redshirt program, where wrestlers take the year off from their college team in an effort to reach

the Olympics. Though Herbert impressed, he didn’t make the U.S. team. Herbert’s breakthrough came a year later, when he unexpectedly won silver at the world championships and realized that London was a lot more realistic than he might have previously imagined.

“I was like, ‘I’ve got something going on here,’ ” he said. “Instead of getting a job and using my degree and everything I decided to put the next three years of my life into getting ready, training for the Olympics, trying to win world championships and all that stuff in between.”

Griner’s out of play for USA basketball team The Associated Press

WACO, Texas — Baylor standout Brittney Griner will not play for the U.S. women’s basketball team at the London Olympics this summer. The 6-foot-8 Griner, who was considered a candidate for the 12th and final roster spot on the national team, citied an unspecified family illness and her summer school schedule when she said Thursday she would not be able to play. In a statement released by her school, Griner said she had informed USA women’s team direc-

tor Carol Callan of her decision. “I am disappointed that I will be unable to participate,” Griner said. “But I want to stay involved in USA Basketball and hope to again have the opportunity to represent my country in future international competition.” USA Basketball announced 11 of the 12 roster spots late last month. Griner played on the 2011 European Tour with USA Basketball, and averaged12.8 points and 7.3 rebounds a game. The last college players to compete in the Olympics for the U.S.

were Vicky Bullett (Maryland) and Bridgette Gordon (Tennessee) in 1988. Griner, who will be a senior at Baylor next season, is a two-time All-American who was The Associated Press player of the year this past season when the undefeated Lady Bears won the national championship and became the first 40-win team in NCAA history. In her three seasons at Baylor, Griner has averaged 21.6 points and 8.6 rebounds a game with a Big 12-record 594 blocked shots. She is the first NCAA player with

2,000 career points and 500 blocked shots. Griner dunked twice in the NCAA tournament, matching Candace Parker for most dunks by a woman in NCAA tournament play and during a college career (seven). Leaving spots open is nothing new for the U.S. The Americans only announced nine players initially for the 2008 Games before filling out the roster nearly two months later. They also unveiled a core of players in 2000 and 2004 before filling out those teams later.

INDIANAPOLIS — The secret is out. Andrew Luck will be the Indianapolis Colts’ new quarterback. A person with direct knowledge of the situation said Thursday that the Colts have notified Luck that they plan to take the Stanford quarterback with the No. 1 pick in next week’s NFL draft barring some unforeseen event between now and then. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not publicly disclosed its plan. It’s hardly a surprise that the Colts are turning to Luck as the cornerstone of their massive rebuilding project. Luck was projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2011 draft before returning to school for his fourth season. He gave up his final year of college eligibility to enter this year’s draft, which was dubbed the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes from the start. Contract negotiations are not expected to begin before the draft, the person familiar with the situation told the AP. Will Wilson, Luck’s agent, did not immediately respond to phone messages or text messages Thursday. “We’ve exhausted the process,” new Indy general manager Ryan Grigson told reporters Wednesday. “We’ve pretty much made up our minds and we’re going to go from there. We feel good about it and we’ll go from there.” Grigson acknowledged that the Colts made their decision “a little while” ago, though he de-

clined to say whether the Colts would take Luck or Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor. Luck The secret lasted less than 24 hours. ESPN.com first reported that the Colts’ had informed Luck they will take him. That would likely send Griffin to the Redskins, who traded a first- and secondround pick this year and firstrounders each of the next two years to St. Louis to move into the No. 2 slot. Luck faces a challenging situation in Indy, which went 2-14 last season after Peyton Manning was lost with a season-ending injury that required neck surgery. Manning was released March 7 and eventually signed with Denver, and Luck will now serve as Manning’s successor. He may get off to a rough start through no fault of his own. “I believe Andrew may struggle early simply because of the surrounding cast playing with him,” said Colts former vice chairman Bill Polian, acknowledging both rookies will have their share of problems in 2012. “It was nowhere near where Peyton’s was, and he went 3-13. I think Andrew will struggle more because of the receivers around him. Only Reggie (Wayne) and Austin (Collie) are back.” Still, Luck was the obvious choice as Manning’s successor all along. A pro-style pocket quarterback, Luck threw for 35 touchdowns last season — breaking his school record of 32 a year ago — and eclipsed John Elway’s career record (77) at Stanford with 80 touchdown passes in only three years.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

OSU’s Meyers says health not an issue By RUSTY MILLER AP Sports Writer

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer swats aside the question about his health as if he were a cornerback batting down a wobbly pass. “I’m taking care of myself. Thanks for asking,” he said this week during Ohio State’s last few days of spring workouts. “No, we’re fine. That’s kind of old news.” Then, turning to more pressing issues, he quickly added, “We just have to get our skill a little bit better here and we’ll be ready to go.” In other words, personnel considerations take precedence over the coach’s stress level. The dire need to find game-changing players is more important than the hours spent at his office in the Woody Hayes football facility. Meyer says everything is OK with him a few months into his first year as the head coach of the Buckeyes. He had left his job in Florida in December of 2010 saying that health and family reasons forced him to step aside. A year spent as a television analyst only caused him to pine for a return to the sidelines. Before taking the job at Ohio State — which came about after Jim Tressel was forced to resign for covering up his knowledge that his players had broken NCAA rules — Meyer’s family made him promise to not overdo it, to not suffer physically from the pressure and long hours. They said he needed to take it easy. He said he would. Yet others close to him think Meyer hasn’t changed a whole lot. “I’ll tell you what, Urban Meyer is the same Urban Meyer as far as Xs and Os, as far as intensity on the football field,” said Ohio State running backs coach Stan Drayton, who was also on his Gators staff. “He’s in a better place right now spiritually. He’s not letting a whole lot

He’s just learned how to manage it that much better.” Zach Smith, the Buckeyes’ wide-receivers coach, also was on Meyer’s staff at Florida. He’s unaware of it if Meyer has scaled back on the intensity. “I wouldn’t say scaled it back. Time to work is still time to work. And the intensity and the effort from him and from us as coaches hasn’t really changed,” he said. “I don’t notice a difference. But when it’s time to get away, I think he gets away.”

U.S. hiring, home sales appear to slow

B R I E F

Pa. jobless rate at 7.5%

The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Pennsylvania was 7.5 percent in March, down one-tenth of a percentage point from February. The rate was 0.4 percentage points less than in March 2011. The seasonally adjusted civilian labor force – the number of people working or looking for work – was up 16,000 in March to 6,406,000. Resident employment rose 21,000 to 5,927,000, and the number of unemployed residents fell 5,000 to 479,000. Pennsylvania’s labor force was 3,000 above its March 2011 level. Seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs in Pennsylvania were 7,800 higher in March at 5,728,400. All of the increase was within service-providing industries, which increased by 8,200 jobs.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and DEREK KRAVITZ Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON — Momentum in U.S. hiring and home sales appears to be slowing, according to fresh data. The average number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits over the past month is at a three-month high. And fewer Americans bought previously owned homes in March after mild weather boosted sales in the previous two months. A possible weakening in two critical elements of the U.S. economy suggests growth could stay modest this

still 9 percent lower than the level from September. Unemployment benefit applications have started to tick up in recent weeks after months of steady declines. When applications fall below 375,000, it generally suggests hiring will be strong enough to lower the unemployment rate. The National Association of Realtors said sales of previously owned homes fell 2.6 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.48 million. That’s down from a revised 4.6 million sold in February. In healthier markets, sales typically are

year. “We are in for a few more quarters of moderate growth before stronger gains might appear,” said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors. More hiring is needed to drive up wages and salaries and fuel the recovery, he added. The Labor Department said Thursday that weekly applications dipped last week by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 386,000. But, the four-week average, a less volatile measure, rose last week by 5,500, to 374,750. That’s the highest level in three months, although it is

The price of natural gas has dropped to the lowest level in more than a decade as U.S. supplies continue to grow. Natural gas futures gave up 4.4 cents to finish at $1.9070 per 1,000 cubic feet in New York. That matches a 10-year low reached on Jan. 28, 2002. The futures contract fell below $2 last week. Prices declined after the Energy Information Administration reported that supplies grew by 25 billion cubic feet last week, putting the nation’s supply level at 58 percent above the five-year average.

NEW YORK — Apple generates more gossip than the Kardashians. There’s a constantly spinning mill of rumors about Apple products, most of which turn out to be untrue. What’s unusual this week is that talk has revived of a smaller iPad model, an idea company founder Steve Jobs derided publicly a year before he died. Apple and its suppliers aren’t commenting. Rumors of a smaller iPad, or “iPad mini” have percolated ever since the first iPad was launched two years ago. This time around, they’re fed by media reports from South Korea, China and Taiwan, saying Apple has ordered Samsung screens that are 7.86 inches measured on the diagonal. That would make for a screen about half the size of the current iPad, which has a diagonal measurement of 9.7 inches. A smaller tablet would help Apple further its lead in the tablet market. “From a competitive standpoint, we believe an iPad mini with a lower price point would be the competition’s worst nightmare,” said Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee. Apple has successfully fended off competitors who have tried to sell tablets in iPad’s size range. But last year, Amazon.com Inc. figured out how to crack Apple’s stranglehold on tablets by making a half-size, no-frills tablet. The result was the Kindle Fire, which sells for $199 —basically, the cost of production. Amazon has sold millions of them. Price isn’t the only reason customers might prefer a smaller tablet. A 7-inch model would fit in many handbags, unlike the current iPad. Apple’s late CEO made a rare appearance on an October 2010 earnings conference call to launch a tirade against the 7-inch tablet Samsung Electronics Inc. was set to launch as the first major challenger to the iPad.

Starbucks drops bug dye

Starbucks Corp. says it will stop using a red dye in its drinks that is derived from crushed bugs. The coffee chain said in a blog post on its website Thursday that it made the decision to reformulate its drinks after feedback from consumers. The company says it will swap out cochineal extract, which is made from the juice of a tiny beetle, and instead use lycopene, a tomato-based extract.

STOP BY AND ENJOY THE FIRST BARBEQUE OF THE SEASON!

The driest April on record was back in 1932 when only twothirds of an inch of rain was recorded (.64 of an inch). So far this month, we've had just a little more than half that amount and the deﬁcit so far this spring is now just over 5 inches in the Poconos. We will get some rain Saturday but probably only a quarter inch or less. Northerly wind heading into Sunday will drop the temperature a bit. Then on Monday, a storm might hug the coast and bring additional rainfall with gusty winds. Below normal temperatures will last through Election Day next week.

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com ÂŠ2012 Porsche Cars North America, Inc. Porsche recommends seat belt usage and observance of all traffic laws at all times.

History can repeat itself. It can also top itself. It is more than the next 911. It is an articulation, from the ground up, of our vision for the future of the sports car. As evidenced by even more power from even less fuel. 350 immensely powerful horses from a 3.4 liter engine in the Carrera. A longer wheelbase for added stability. And a new elevated center console that reinforces our focus on the driver. Proving once again that despite over 60 years of making history, it's making history. And it all starts with a test drive.

The next Porsche 911. Forever the sports car.
