into the Medallion Ball Room inside the Hilton Scranton Hotel on Tuesday night, Cartwright thanked voters and his family for getting him one step closer to Washington. Repeating a campaign slogan he used quite often, he promised the district that “I’ll work for you.” He said Wall Street, oil companies and others who have corrupted the system will not find a friend in him. He also promised not to be a quiet freshman in Congress. “I might just be one of 435 (House members), but I promise you I’ll be a loud one,” Cartwright said.

Laureen Cummings, of Old Forge, who captured the Republican nomination Tuesday. But the district is heavily stocked with registered Democrats who have a 5-3 margin over Republicans, giving Cartwright a clear advantage. Christopher Borick, a political science professor from Muhlenberg College near Allentown, said he wouldn’t call Cartwright’s victory “a major upset,” but it wasn’t a win he saw coming. Borick, a Throop resident, credited several factors for Cartwright’s win, among them the voter’s continued “palpable discontent right now with almost anything establishment.”

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney laid claim to the fiercely contested Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night with a fistful of primary triumphs, then urged all who struggle in a shaky U.S. economy to “hold on a little longer, a better America begins tonight.” Eager to turn the political page to the general election, Romney accused President Barack Obama of “false promises and weak leadership.” He declared, “Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.” The former Massachusetts governor spoke as he swept primaries in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York, the first since Rick Santorum conceded the nomination. “Mitt Romney is going to be the nominee, and I’m going to support the nominee,” the former Pennsylvania senator said on See ROMNEY, Page 6A

WA decides not to furlough 7 teachers started the process to furlough Teachers speak out against seven teachers. move; superintendent used In order to do that, a school disclass sizes to justify the cuts. trict must apply to the state Board By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER – Wyoming Area school directors voted Tuesday night against furloughing seven teachers. Teachers had packed the meeting room at the Secondary Center at the school board’s monthly meeting and spoke against an agenda item that would have

of Education and give at least 60 days notice to the teachers being furloughed. The agenda item recommended by Superintendent Ray Bernardi used class sizes to justify the furlough of one math teacher, one English teacher, one social studies teacher, one in-school suspension teacher and three elementary school teachers. Multiple teachers spoke against the furloughs. Lisa Bar-

Mary (Peg) Cooper

rett, who serves as president of the Wyoming Area Education Association, questioned the class size numbers that had been presented. Parents also expressed their support for the teachers, but board members spoke of the need to take action. “I was laid off. I sent out 600 resumes before I got a job,” board member Carl Yorina said. “But I’m gonna say it: We’re $693,000 short and we’re trying to break even. If we don’t balance by June 30th, we’re insolvent.” Yorina said if the board didn’t balance the budget by that time, the state Department of Education would take over the district. He predicted that if that were to

happen, in two years JFK Elementary, Sarah J. Dymond Elementary, the pool and all sports programs would be shut down. Board President Frank Casarella was in favor of the furloughs. “I’m gonna make enemies tonight. But everybody wants everything. There are going to be cuts. “I abhor it,” he added. But he also said he felt a responsibility to all who paid taxes in the school district. Several board members pleaded with the teachers in the room to talk with their union representatives. The teachers have been working without a union contract for two years. When the roll call on the educa-

tion agenda items finally began, members began voting yes on all items except number 9, which called for the teacher furloughs. When the vote came to Yorina, he voted no on number 9 but said to the assembled teachers, “We need to see concessions.” Casarella, last in the roll call, voted against the furlough agenda item as well, saying he believed in consensus. “We need very active negotiations. Only you as educators can help with the deficit,” he said, addressing teachers. The board also voted to approve a loan from the Department of Agriculture not to exceed $3 million to bring Montgomery Avenue Elementary up to code.

Luzerne County Council postponed indefinitely the vote on a controversial detective union contract Tuesday because county Manager Robert Lawton requested more time to address the proposal. The manager is the lead contract negotiator under home rule, though council must grant final approval on collective bargaining agreements. The latest proposal would skip raises this year but provide 2 percent hikes the remaining four years of the contract. The proposal reduces length-of-service bonuses and other perks for detec-

tives who may be hired in the future but not existing ones, informed sources said. The expired contract’s mix of raises, bonuses, overtime and other benefits allowed three Lawton of the 10 detectives to be paid more than $105,000 last year. Several residents told Lawton and council Tuesday the current proposal is unacceptable. Kingston resident George Kochis said citizens voted for change with home rule, and approval of the “ludicrous” proposal on the table would be a return to the “old government.” Bonuses are for private industry – not government, said Kingston Township resident Tom Dombroski. Kingston taxpayer Ed Gustitus criticized the continuation of an annual

$1,050 clothing and equipment allowance and $1,200 telephone reimbursement for detectives. Citizen Therman Guamp said a fiveyear agreement is “ludicrous,” and he advised officials to put all new contracts on hold pending a thorough review of the county’s “convoluted” compensation structure. Fairview Township resident Fred Heller said the detectives seem to be overpaid, but most citizens don’t know their job duties. He advised officials to invite detectives to a meeting to explain why they believe their work warrants such compensation. Jackson Township resident Ed Chesnovitch said concessions for new hires mean nothing because he doesn’t believe existing detectives will give up their current compensation and leave. The contract is headed for binding arbitration if an agreement isn’t reac-

hed. The council agreed with Councilman Tim McGinley’s suggestion to have Lawton and Solicitor David Schwager explain the mechanics of arbitration at next week’s work session. Binding arbitration is an option for unions unable to strike. The arbitration board consists of a county and union representative and a neutral representative selected by those two from a list of Pennsylvania arbitrators. Councilman Rick Williams said he wants council to review the law governing arbitrations to determine if changes should be recommended to legislators. The council also adopted the county’s first ethics code Tuesday, generating applause from many in the audience. Councilman Harry Haas voted See COUNCIL, Page 10A

SUGARLOAF TWP. – Two men from Monroe County skipped out on paying a $99 cab fare from East Stroudsburg to Turkey Path Road on Monday night, according to charges filed. One of the men, identified as Nicholas Allen Labar, 19, of Cresco, allegedly assaulted a state police trooper. Labar and Jermail Anthony Stanley, 20, of East Stroudsburg, were arraigned Tues-

day in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges of theft of services, conspiracy to commit theft and loitering and prowling at night. Labar was further charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, harassment and disorderly conduct. Labar was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $40,000 bail and Stanley was jailed for lack of $10,000 bail. According to the criminal complaints: State police at Hazleton said Labar and Stanley were fares for Pocono Cab Co. from a Subway restaurant in East Stroudsburg to at a residence on Turkey Path Road just after 11 p.m. Labar and Stanley got out of the taxi, fail-

ing to pay a $98.90 fare. State police apprehended Stanley at a Turkey Hill store after a clerk reported a suspicious person. Labar was stopped when he was spotted walking along Turkey Path Road. State police allege Labar fought with a trooper on the hood of a cruiser and the ground. The trooper grabbed Labar’s hair and threw him back on the ground to stop him from fleeing, the complaint says. Preliminary hearings are scheduled on April 30 before District Judge Daniel O’Donnell in Sugarloaf. Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

WILKES-BARRE – Jurors selected to hear the trial of a man accused of sexually assaulting two girls were warned Tuesday that testimony will be graphic, disturbing and unsettling. Robert Caravella, 53, of Gould Street, Plymouth, was charged by Nanticoke police with 13 felony and misdemeanor counts of child sex offenses involving two girls from 2002 to 2005. His trial began before Luzerne County Caravella Judge Tina Polachek Gartley. During opening statements to jurors, Deputy District Attorney Alexis Falvello said the younger girl was 3 years old and the other girl was 7 when the alleged assaults began. They are now 11 and 17. Falvello said Caravella was trusted by the family and often babysat the girls. “Testimony is not going to be easy to listen to,” Falvello told jurors. “It’s going to be graphic. It’s going to be unsettling.” Caravella’s attorney, Andrew Katsock III, told jurors that there are “two sides to every story.” Katsock said Caravella has maintained his innocence since he was arrested by police in March 2011. He claimed the girls never told their mother, who is expected to testify in Caravella’s defense. Police allege Caravella separately assaulted the two girls in Nanticoke and Plymouth, and would make them watch pornography videos or look at adult magazines. Katsock told jurors the girls were enrolled in day care and school and were never alone with Caravella from 2002 to 2005. Caravella will testify in his own defense, Katsock said. The trial is expected to last through Thursday. Edward Lewis, a Times Leader staff writer, may be reached at 829-7196.

Smith tops GOP field; now faces Casey Gov. Tom Corbett’s choice in the Republican primary goes down to defeat.

By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Wealthy former coal company owner Tom Smith won a bitter, fiveway Republican primary contest Tuesday for the party’s nomination to challenge the reelection bid of first-term Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, who is expected to be a formidable foe. Smith, 64, of Armstrong County, won after a low-key

race between little-known candidates that failed to attract the attention of many Republicans and splintered the party faithful thanks to a fight for the state party’s endorsement. Casey’s perceived strength also helped put the race on the GOP’s back burner. Also running were Chester County entrepreneur and ven-

ture capitalist Steve Welch, former state Rep. Sam Rohrer of Berks County, Bucks County businessman and veterans’ advocate David Christian, and lawyer Mark Scaringi of Cumberland County. The unusual race revolved around Welch and Smith answering attacks over their pasts as registered Democrats. It was also notable for the inability of Gov. Tom Corbett and the state Republican Party to push their endorsed candidate, Welch, over the finish line. With 86 percent of precincts reporting, Smith won 242,000 votes, or 41 percent. His nearest competitors, Rohrer and

Welch, each had just under 21 percent. Smith also carried Luzerne County easily, where he received nearly 41 percent of the Republican vote with 6,000 votes. His closest competitor, Welch, had 22 percent with 3,190 votes and Rohrer had 19 percent with 2,836 votes. Casey received 19,839 votes from Luzerne County Democrats, easily carrying him over challenger Joseph Vodvarka, who had 2,798 votes. Smith self-financed a barrage of TV ads and was on track to spend more than three times as much as his four rivals combined. Welch had been en-

to his primary campaign. But Casey, the former state treasurer and auditor general and son of the late former Gov. Robert P. Casey, had $5 million in his campaign’s bank account heading into April and the advantage of having run in and won five statewide contests. The campaign ended with a flurry of attack ads, revolving around Smith’s four-decade history as a registered Democrat and Welch’s temporary drift into the Democratic Party, which included him admitting that he voted for Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.

dorsed by two major newspapers, while Rohrer remained popular with conservatives going back to his days as a lawmaker. Casey, who beat little-known opponent Vodvarka, is as close to a vote-getting powerhouse as Pennsylvania has right now as he seeks a second six-year term. Casey will run as a moderate who puts the interests of this diverse state ahead of party leaders. But Casey also has supported President Barack Obama’s signature policies, which will be a key point of attack for Smith, who invested more than $5 million of his own money in-

It’s in the cards

In test run, voter ID law works well here By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

Voters who didn’t have identification at the polls Tuesday were still able to participate in the Democratic and Republican primaries. But come November, no ID means no voting. The voter ID legislation was passed so close to the primary -Gov. Tom Corbett signed it into law on March 14 -- state officials were still tinkering with ID possibilities last week. Poll workers in Luzerne County on Tuesday gave a dry run with some voters, most of whom complied and didn’t mind presenting proper ID. Ron Sando, judge of elections in Hazleton’s 10th Ward, said all voters had photo IDs there, but he is worried about the general election. “I think it’s absurd that someone I know in my ward has to show ID. If I denied someone I know and I could attest to their identity, I think it would be a violation of their civil rights,” Sando said. Others, like Joe Jacobs, judge of elections in Wilkes-Barre’s15th Ward, said he had only one voter upset with being asked to present identification. At the Kingston Recreation Center, Chip Mack said voters were presenting identification with no problem, and those who didn’t have it were receiving information about the law, informing them they will need it the next election. Lori Ditzler, judge of elections of Nanticoke’s 5th Ward, said voters who visited city hall Tuesday

were reminded about presenting identification in November, and that some produced ID without being asked. Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele on Tuesday visited several polling places in Philadelphia to get a first-hand look at how the voter ID “soft rollout” was working. “From what I observed, most voters came with photo ID and presented it when asked to do so by poll workers,” said Aichele, whose department oversees elections. “The process seemed to work well. “Voter ID is a common-sense

way to preserve the integrity of every vote, by providing a reliable way to verify the identity of each voter,” Aichele said. “This law will help prevent legal votes from being canceled or diluted by illegally cast ballots.” The bulk of voters, those with Pennsylvania driver’s licenses, will have no problem. For voting purposes, in-state driver’s licenses will be valid up to a year after they have expired. But for nondrivers and people with driver’s licenses issued by other states, the ID requirements may be more problematic.. Other acceptable forms of ID

are current U.S. passports, U.S. military credentials, photo IDs issued to government employees and photo IDs issued by Pennsylvania colleges and “care facilities” -- as long as the ID cards bear expiration dates and have not expired. Though state election officials have been busy issuing directives and advisories to clarify the legislature’s 22-page law, ultimately the rules will have to be applied by the judges of elections at thousands of polling places throughout the state.

A right, duty and privilege

Familiar faces poised to return Incumbents were unopposed in balloting in Tuesday’s primary election. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

Charles DeMuzzio, 84, mulls over the selection of candidates he is voting for Tuesday at Lee Park Towers in Hanover Township.

Luzerne County’s voice in the state assembly looks poised to sing a familiar tune next year, as incumbents will dominate the ballot in November. The only senator representing the county who is facing reelection this year, John Gordner of the 27th district, will be unopposed, and at least three of seven sitting state representatives – Sid Michaels Kavulich, Mike Carroll and Eddie Day Pashinski – will not face an opponent on the ballot in November. No incumbent in a race for the state assembly faced an opponent in Tuesday’s primary. Voters will select their state legislators from the following candidates in November’s election: In the state Senate, incumbent John Gordner, R-Berwick, will be unopposed in the 27th district, which includes Hazleton and Sugarloaf Township in addition to Montour, Snyder, Northumberland, Columbia counties and parts of Dauphin County. He received the Republican nomination with 17,309 votes. Incumbents also went unchallenged in state House races. In the 114th Legislative District, which mainly sits in Lackawanna County but spills over into Pittston Township and Yatesville, Sid Michaels Kavulich, D-Taylor, will run unopposed for his second term. He received 5,023 votes. One-term incumbent Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township, will be challenged by Butler Township Supervisor Ransom S. Young in the Southern Luzerne County-centered 116th District. Toohil received 3,428 votes to gain the Republican nomination

while Young received 2,576 votes on the Democratic side. In the 117th District incumbent Karen Boback of Harveys Lake went unopposed on the Republican ticket. She received 5,051 votes. There was no candidate on the Democratic ballot in the District but Mark “Duke” Barrett, of Dallas, ran a write-in campaign, advertising his bid for office with the slogan “Politicians Shouldn’t Run Unopposed – Write-in for a Choice.” A total of 801 write-in votes were cast in the race on the Democratic side, but write-in votes will not be hand-counted until later in the week. Mike Carroll, D-Avoca, will be unopposed for his fourth term representing the 118th District, which includes Pittston, Dupont and Duryea. He received 3,220 votes. In the 119th District, Rick Arnold of Rice Township received 1,845 votes on the Republican side to challenge incumbent Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, who received 3,779 votes in the Democratic Primary. In the 120th District, which includes much of the West Side, Republican newcomer Aaron Kaufer of Kingston will challenge incumbent Phyllis Mundy, D-Kingston, who is seeking her11th term in office. Kaufer received 2,917 votes while Mundy pocketed 4,210 votes. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-WilkesBarre, will run unopposed for his fourth term the 121st District. He received 4,220 votes in the Democratic Primary. Pete Mailloux of Fairview Township had begun a campaign to challenge Pashinski as a Republican after new district maps moved his home municipality from the 119th to the 121st, but he withdrew his petition after a state court ruled the Legislative Reapportionment Commission’s redistricting maps unconstitutional, reverting to the 2001 maps.

HARRISBURG — John Maher has won the Republican nomination for Pennsylvania auditor general. The state representative from Allegheny County defeated Frank Pinto in Tuesday’s primary with 66 percent of the vote, based on returns from 96 percent of the state’s precincts. The 53-year-old Maher is a certified public accountant and founder of a Pittsburgh accounting firm.

Maher

The 67-yearold Pinto is a retiree from Dauphin County who worked for the state Senate Republican staff and headed a bank

lobbying group. The office has been held for the past eight years by Democrat Jack Wagner, who’s stepping down after serving the maximum two terms allowed by law. State Rep. Eugene DePasquale of York County was unopposed for the Democratic nomination. Rep. Maher is the establishment candidate, a 15-year House

member who carries the state GOP’s endorsement and whose campaign has already received a $25,000 boost from Gov. Tom Corbett’s political committee. The Philadelphia Inquirer also has endorsed Maher. The auditor general is the state’s fiscal watchdog. Maher, 53, a certified public accountant and co-founder of a Pittsburgh CPA firm that specializes in government and nonprofit organizations, talks about adding value to the thousands of annual audits the office conducts. Maher, who sold his interest in the company to partners in 2004, wants to mine that information more aggressively to find more efficient ways of doing the pub-

lic’s business. “With all of that knowledge, we should have a focus on best practices,” he said in a recent interview. “I’m quite confident that I’m going to discover an awful lot of things that will make Pennsylvania better,” said Maher, who represents parts of Allegheny and Washington counties. Pinto portrayed himself as the political outsider, even though he worked for the state Senate Republican caucus for nearly a decade and spent 25 years as president and chief executive officer of the Pennsylvania Association of Community Bankers before he retired at the end of last year.

HARRISBURG — Political newcomer Kathleen Kane is the Democratic nominee for Pennsylvania attorney general. The former Lackawanna County prosecutor defeated former U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, 53 percent to 47 percent with nearly 97 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary counted. All results are unofficial. Kane will oppose Republican David J. Freed, who ran unopposed. The two Democrats waged a spirited campaign that was heavy on TV advertising. The 45-year-old Kane touted her nearly 13 years’ experience as a prosecutor while reminding voters that Murphy has never tried a case in Pennsylvania courts. The 38-year-old Murphy stressed his five years in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corps and asserted that he was the true Democrat in the race. Kane relied heavily on her family’s wealth to finance her campaign, while Murphy received help from major labor unions. Kane, who is making her first bid for elective office, would be the first woman elected as the state’s chief legal and law-enforcement officer if she wins the November general election. Kane worked for the Lackawanna County district attorney’s office for nearly 13 years, prosecuting more than 3,000 cases involving crimes ranging from public corruption to murder. She specialized

in cases involving abuse of children and senior citizens, and headed the office’s insurancefraud unit. She left in 2007 to Kane work on Hillary Clinton’s campaign for president. Running for attorney general “is a natural progression — careerwise and experience-wise and knowledge-wise,” she said during a recent campaign swing in the Scranton area. Her campaign has been financed chiefly by her husband and a handful of other executives at Kane Is Able, a Scranton-based, non-union trucking and warehouse company that his family founded and owns. Of the more than $2.5 million the campaign raised, Chris Kane alone contributed or loaned $2.25 million, according to state campaign-finance reports. Murphy reported contributions of $2.2 million and was outraising Kane by more than 3-1 in the days leading up to the primary. Murphy is an ex-congressman and former Army lawyer who cut his legal teeth in military settings that included the Iraq war. He was the first Iraq war veteran elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he represented Pennsylvania’s 8th district from 2007 until 2011. He also attended King’s College in Wilkes-Barre. Murphy is the brother of former Wilkes-Barre city administrator J.J. Murphy. In Luzerne County, Kane won easily over Murphy, taking 72 percent of voters with 16,865 votes to Murphy’s 6,445. Freed received 11,743 in the Republican Primary.

Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney greets supporters at an election night rally in Manchester, N.H., Tuesday after he won primaries in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

CNN. He added he intended to meet today with the winner’s aides. Romney, speaking to cheering supporters, in New Hampshire, said, “The last few years have been the best Barack Obama can do, but it’s not the best America can do.” He delivered his remarks to a national television audience as well from the state where he won his first primary of the campaign and one of about a dozen states expected to be battlegrounds in the summer and fall campaign for the White House. Obama campaigned during the day in two others — North Carolina and Colorado — making the case that, however slowly, the economy is growing stronger. “Our businesses have added more than 4 million jobs over the past two years, but we all know there’s still too many Americans out there looking for work or trying to find a job that pays enough to cover the bills and make the mortgage,” the president said. “We still have too many folks in the middle class that are searching for that security that started slipping away years before the recession hit.” Six months before the election, opinion polls show the economy to be the top issue by far in the race. The same surveys point toward a close contest, with several suggesting a modest advantage for the incumbent. Obama won the presidency in 2008 in the midst of the worst recession since

the Great Depression, and since then economic growth has rebounded slowly and joblessness has receded gradually, although housing prices continue to drop in many areas of the country. In an indication that Romney was treating the moment Tuesday night as something of an opening of the general election campaign, his speech seemed aimed at the millions of voters — nonconservatives and others — who have yet to pay close attention to the race for the White House. He blended biographical details, an attack on Obama and the promise of a bet-

ter future, leaving behind his struggle to reassure conservative voters who have been reluctant to swing behind his candidacy. “As I look around at the millions of Americans without work, the graduates who can’t get a job, the soldiers who return home to an unemployment line, it breaks my heart,” he said. “This does not have to be. It is the result of failed leadership and of a faulty vision.” Obama, unchallenged for the Democratic nomination, has a head start in organizing, fundraising and other elements of the campaign.

Already, he and aides are working to depict Romney and Republicans as pursuing new tax breaks for the wealthy while seeking to cut programs that benefit millions of victims of the recession as well as other lower-income Americans. The president campaigned on two college campuses during the day, pitching his proposal to prevent a scheduled increase in the interest rate on new student loans. Romney, freed of serious primary competition, announced his own general support for the proposal, even though it appears a GOP-drafted budget in the House envisioned no effort to change the pending increase. Determined to make up for lost time, Romney has recently accelerated his fundraising, announced the beginning of a process to search for a vice presidential running mate and begun reaping endorsements from party officials who declined to do so in the heat of the primary campaign. Santorum offered no endorsement in a televised appearance during the evening but said he expected to meet with Romney in the future, adding he would sit down with the former governor’s aides on Wednesday. In his remarks, Romney spoke dismissively of Obama’s tenure in office. “Government is at the center of his vision. It dispenses the benefits, borrows what it cannot take and consumes a greater and greater share of the economy,” he said. He added that if the president’s hardwon health care law is fully installed, “government will continue to control half the economy, and we will have effectively ceased to be a free enterprise society.”

Santorum likely to back Romney By STEVE PEOPLES Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Tuesday he expects to endorse Mitt Romney. Santorum said he believes Romney is “the right guy” to challenge President Barack Obama. Still, he’s stopping short of an official endorsement of his former rival. But Santorum told CNN that he will ultimately support the GOP presidential nominee. And he says it’s clear that Romney will be that nominee. Santorum said he plans to meet with some of Romney’s staff today. And he hopes to meet with Romney personally in the next week or two. Santorum once accused Romney of being the worst Republican to face Obama. He consistently questioned Romney’s conservative credentials. But he now says the priority is to defeat Obama in November. Santorum suspended his campaign two weeks ago rather than risk losing a primary in his home state of Pennsylvania.

CONCORD, N.C. — Newt Gingrich acknowledged that Mitt Romney had a good day, sweeping five more Republican presidential primaries Tuesday, but he vowed to keep campaigning in North Carolina through the week. Beyond that, Gingrich isn’t sure of his next step. In a speech in front of about 100 people in Concord, N.C., he both promised to fight to the Republican convention and said his campaign needs to evaluate what is going to be the best strategy to both advance conservative ideas and defeat President Barack Obama. “Over the next few days, we are going to look realistically at where we’re at,” he told the

Gingrich made a stop in Charlotte, where he said Romney was presumptuous to begin his head-to-head campaign against Obama while some states had yet to have their primaries. The former House speaker walked away from reporters when pressed about how long he would continue a debt-riddled campaign that has no plausible route to denying Romney the Republican nod. Romney spoke Tuesday in New Hampshire, the site of his first victory in the race for the nomination, and asked Americans to hang on a little longer. Gingrich hung his comeback hopes on a strong showing in Delaware and has spent considerable time there in recent weeks. Under pressure for some time to drop out of the race, he has not won a presiden-

mention Tuesday’s results in his speech in Concord, but he told the crowd that Romney was going to “have a very good night” and was earning what he had worked to get for six years. “If he does end up as the nominee, I think every conservative in this country has to be committed to beating Barack Obama,” Gingrich said. Earlier, one of Gingrich’s daughters told MSNBC that the race remained fluid and that Gingrich wants to stay in because a dramatic shift could come at any time. “You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow,” Jackie Gingrich Cushman said. Despite trailing Romney in convention delegates 5-to-1, Gingrich has vowed to campaign until the party’s latesummer convention in Florida. He has more than $4.3 million

the House and now chairs his presidential campaign, said he thought Gingrich could do well in Delaware but acknowledged that a poor showing would force the campaign to make a decision about going forward. “What we want to do is build some momentum out of Delaware into North Carolina. But if the Delaware results don’t fit that profile, we will reassess the situation,” said Walker, who insisted that Romney had still not won over many conservatives. Gingrich kept his pair of scheduled appearances Tuesday in North Carolina, including his first election night party since February. After his tour of the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, he walked away when reporters asked him about his political fortunes.

“We will have something to say this evening ... when we see the results,” he said. Gingrich cautioned Romney against appearing cocky. “Gov. Romney is clearly the front-runner. That doesn’t mean he’s inevitable,” Gin-

grich said Monday. Before the five primaries on Tuesday, Romney had won 698 of the 1,144 delegates needed to become the nominee, according to a tally by The Associated Press. Gingrich had 137 delegates.

“It says that voters in Northeastern Pennsylvania, like a lot of the voters right now, aren’t going to give passes simply because (the incumbent’s) been there.” Two years ago, voters elected Lou Barletta over 13-term incumbent Paul E. Kanjorski and Tom Marino over two-term incumbent Chris Carney. But both of those victories were in the general elections. Having a long-term incumbent lose to a political newcomer from within his own party is not a common occurrence by any stretch. But his game plan was nearly flawless and had some help from an unlikely source, Republicans in the state Legislature who redrew the districts to make it more Democratic, which ate into Holden’s Blue Dog, moderate image he had built up over two decades. Borick said Cartwright did a good job getting his message out to voters and the redrawn 17th Congressional District, which included only 20 percent of Holden’s old district, also hurt Holden. New boundaries helped In an interview with The Times Leader just after his nearly 40-minute acceptance speech, he said the victory came down to “planning” but agreed the newly drawn up 17th Congressional District greatly aided his chances. “We had a worthy opponent, but because of the redistricting, geography favored us if we worked hard. Ideology would favor us if we worked hard,” Cartwright said. He also came into the race with name recognition in the new district thanks to his television appearances on WYOU and

Holden accepted defeat just before 10:30 p.m. and with his wife, Gwen, at his side, thanked the crowd of nearly 200 supporters at the St. Clair Fish & Game Association for their support in his concession speech. “We have had a lot of great victory parties here and you have given me the honor and privilege of serving in the United States Congress for 20 years, and I will always in my heart be ever thankful for that,” said the 10term incumbent. Holden singled out voters in Schuylkill County, political leaders in every county and the AFLCIO for their tremendous support of his campaign.

Poor turnout factors David Sosar, a political science professor at King’s College, said thelowturnoutcanbeattributedto several different factors. “There are not many highly contested, high-profile cases,” Sosar said. “Traditionally, we’re close to 40 to 45 percent of voter turnout (locally) during the primary election. (Today) we would be lucky to

“But tonight is not our night … tonight is Matt Cartwright’s night. He has won a hard-fought election and he deserves our support, he deserves our commitment. So I ask all of you tonight as we move toward the general election to throw our support behind Matt Cartwright,” Holden said. Negative campaigning Negative ads were a big part of the campaign story and Cartwright said he hopes the message received for future candidates is that “they don’t work.” He said while he believes he would have won even had Holden not gone that route in the final weeks of the campaign, he believes he won by a greater margin because of them. He also believes polling that showed he was ahead sparked the negative ads to be run. Holden also told his supporters, “I think we have accomplished a lot and I’ll never, ever, ever forget what you’ve done for me,” he said.

won Dauphin, Cumberland, Montour, Northumberland and Perry. Stilp, a Wilkes-Barre native, will go on to face Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton in the November General Election. With nearly 97 percent of the votes counted, Barletta received 49,147 votes, compared to the total for Stilp and Vinsko of 34,066. The newly redrawn 11th District is slightly Democratic-leaning, with 44 percent registered Democrats to 43 percent Republican. Despite, the slight edge and Barletta being unopposed in the primary, more voters came out on a dreary Tuesday to support the first-term incumbent. “The key thing now is we have to bring the Democratic Party together,” Stilp said. “We have to go through the 11th District and unite the party for November.” Stilp said he will be at Barletta’s Hazleton office today at 1 p.m. to ask his GOP opponent to sign a Clean Campaign Pledge – the same document he and Vinsko agreed on during the primary. Barletta won’t be in Hazleton; however, he will be in Washington, D.C. “I will take a look at (the pledge),” Barletta said. “But right now I am in Washington doing the people’s work.” At about 11:25 p.m., Vinsko addressed his supporters at the Nanticoke American Legion and conceded the race in a telephone call to Stilp. Vinsko, who ended up living just outside the redrawn district, said he would move if he won the seat in Congress. “We will work for the Democratic candidate toward victory in November,” Vinsko said. “We will work together for the good of the people and the 11th District.” Stilp, known for using inflatable pink pigs and a pink bus to bring attention to issues of government waste and corruption, said he will need a bigger pig if he wins a seat in Congress.

“I guess my slogan will be ‘Walk softly and carry a big pink pig,’ ” Stilp said. “We’ve done a lot of hard work over the years trying to change things. We have a solid record going after the state legislature on issues like the midnight pay raise. Now we will go after the wasteful spending in Congress.” Stilp said he will campaign on the issues, pointing to Social Security, Medicare and jobs as his top priorities. “This is a great opportunity for the people to come out and vote in November,” Stilp said. “There are 700,000 people in the 11th District. We have to encourage them to use their democratic franchise and register and vote.” Stilp said he raised about $25,000 during the primary and knows he will need a lot more to wage a competitive campaign against Barletta. “The key is to pay attention to the issues,” he said. “If we stick to the issues, we will win in November.” Stilp congratulated Vinsko on a

good campaign and wished him well. He thanked the voters for their support and promised to represent their views in Congress, if elected. Barletta, 56, thanked voters for coming out and voting in the primary. “The warm welcome I continue to receive in Northeastern, Central, and Southcentral Pennsylvania has been incredibly encouraging,” Barletta said. “The people of the 11th District sent me to Washington to rein in out-of-control spending, cut excessive regulations, create a progrowth, pro-jobs environment and repeal Obamacare. They want a domestic energy policy that works and lowers prices at the pump. And, they want to make sure that the U.S. is secure from all threats. That’s why they sent me, that’s what I’ve been fighting for, and that what I will continue to fight for.” Barletta congratulated Stilp on his victory. “I look forward to a lively and hard-fought campaign in the general election,” he said.

Certain parts of the area look to the congressional seat held by freshman Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton, who was uncontested on the Republican ticket. His opponents on the Democratic ticket, Bill Vinsko and Gene Stilp, Sosar said, are not that well known. “The congressional race between (Matt) Cartwright and (Tim) Holden by itself will cause

Quiet all day at polls Polling places throughout the county Tuesday mirrored Mack’s comments about the number of people showing up – or not showing up – to cast votes. Lori Ditzler, judge of election at Nanticoke City Hall, said they had seen 115 voters by about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday – normally that number is up near 800. “I didn’t think it would be this slow,” Ditzler said, adding some

A few miles away in Avoca, at the West Side Club, John and Sharon Sarti cast their votes. “Usually you get here and everybody’s trying to shove a card at you,” John Sarti said, adding it was disheartening to see the lack of interest in such an important election. A woman walked into the Third Ward polling place in Plains Township and was turned away. She was a registered Independent, making her ineligible to vote in Tuesday’s primaries.

The same could be said for nearly every municipality in Luzerne County, as 42,298 of the 189,344 registered voters cast a ballot. Acting Luzerne County Election Bureau Director Tom Pizano said thingswentaccordingtoplanTuesday, and only minor problems were reported in the morning hours. He said one machine was damaged during setup or delivery, while some other electronic problems were taken care of by county staff. Pizano said election workers didn’t report anything out of the ordinary, but that could have been due to the low turnout numbers. He said he didn’t think the county would hit a 25 percent turnout. In presidential primaries in 2004 and 2008, 34 and 51 percent of voters cast ballots, respectively.

File: Accused priest kept in system Documents state archbishops moved clergyman to new parishes despite warnings. By MARYCLAIRE DALE Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Two Roman Catholic archbishops moved a troubled priest to new parishes despite dire warnings he was having sex with minors, according to church documents read in a Philadelphia court Tuesday. Cardinal John Krol of Philadelphia assigned the late Rev. Peter Dunne to a suburban Warminster parish in 1987, a year after a therapist warned about any access to children. And Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua sent Dunne to a northeast Philadelphia parish in 1989 — af-

ter a church therapist had diagnosed him as a pedophile and ticking time bomb. Defense lawyers for Monsignor William Lynn noted that at least three other top aides at the archdiocese knew of the diagnosis. Yet Dunne refused requests to seek laicization, and remained an active priest until his 1994 retirement — and a priest until the day he died, in 2010. Lynn, 61, the former secretary for clergy, has pleaded not guilty to child-endangerment and conspiracy charges. No other church officials have been charged in the case, despite two grand jury reports that excoriated leaders of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia for their handling of child sex-assault complaints over half a century. “Cardinal Bevilacqua had to

have known that he was appointing a pedophile to that parish?” defense lawyer Thomas Bergstrom asked a witness Tuesday. “It would appear to me, sir,” replied Philadelphia Detective James Dougherty, who has spent two days reading aloud Dunne’s secret personnel file — kept in locked cabinets at the archdiocese reserved for accused predators. The archdiocese had Dunne evaluated after an Oregon doctor complained in 1986 that he had been abused by Dunne, his former priest and Scout leader. The doctor later lost his license for molesting patients, leaving his wife and children deeply in debt. His family sought money from the archdiocese for years — and Dunne once secretly gave him $40,000 to avoid a lawsuit, the 2005 grand jury report said.

Infected cow no threat to U.S. food supply, feds say By LAURAN NEERGAARD Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The first new case of mad cow disease in the U.S. since 2006 has been discovered in a dairy cow in California, but health authorities said Tuesday the animal never was a threat to the nation’s food supply. The infected cow, the fourth ever discovered in the U.S., was

cracking sound; it was more like a puff.” Aaron moved to the spot where he normally presents the weather, and out of the corner of his eye he could see a black mass in the bushes across the patio. With only seconds before he was supposed to go on air, Aaron strained to see what it was but didn’t want to move from the spot. Then he heard something move by the shed behind him. “I turned around and when I did, there was momma bear,” Aaron said. It didn’t take him long to recog-

found as part of an Agriculture Department surveillance program that tests about 40,000 cows a year for the fatal brain disease. No meat from the cow was bound for the food supply, said John Clifford, the department’s chief veterinary officer. “There is really no cause for alarm here with regard to this animal,” Clifford told reporters at a hastily convened press conference. Mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), is fatal to cows and can

cause a fatal human brain disease in people who eat tainted beef. The World Health Organization has said tests show humans cannot be infected by drinking milk from BSE-infected animals. In the wake of a massive outbreak in Britain that peaked in 1993, the U.S. intensified precautions to keep BSE out of U.S. cattle and the food supply. In other countries, the infection’s spread was blamed on farmers adding recycled meat and bone meal from infected cows into cattle feed, so a key U.S. step has been to ban feed containing such material.

Tuesday, Clifford said the California cow is what scientists call an atypical case of BSE, meaning it didn’t get the disease from eating infected cattle feed, which is important. That means it’s “just a random mutation that can happen every once in a great while in an animal,” said Bruce Akey, director of the New York State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Cornell University. “Random mutations go on in nature all the time.” The testing system worked because it caught what is a really rare event, added Mike Doyle, di-

nize the danger of getting between a mother bear and her cub. “I took off,” he said. “I instantly ran for the door.” As he spun and pulled the door shut, the bear was right on his heels, and looked him in the face just through the glass. As the cameras outside kept rolling, a mother bear and three cubs emerged in frame. The adult bear was wearing an ear tag, indicating it had been captured by state game officials either for research purposes or because it was found in an urban area. After a few seconds, Aaron composed himself and continued the weather forecast from the safety of the studio, but WNEP devoted much of the remainder

of its broadcast to the bears, who hung around the station for about 30 minutes. “At that point the main focus was how often do you get to see Mother Nature up close like that,” Aaron said. Aaron said he’s had a number of close animal encounters on WNEP’s backyard set, which is located in a mountainous and sparsely populated area in Moos-

ic. There’s been a trio of skirmishing raccoons, a gorgeous red fox and three bear encounters this year, counting the latest. But Monday’s was the closest call he’s had so far, and the closest he’d care to have. “I’ve had skunks walk right up to me when I’m doing the weather, I’ve had porcupines,” Aaron said. “But I’ve never had a momma bear.”

OUR OPINION: PILL COLLECTION

Discard Rx drugs in a safe fashion

ID YOUR medicine cabinet and other storage areas of unwanted or expired prescription medications Saturday – in a safe and responsible way. Collections will occur between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at multiple sites in Luzerne County as part of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration’s Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. You won’t be asked any questions; participants can remain anonymous, say the event’s organizers. The disposal service is free. Promoters of the national event aim to prevent pills from tainting water supplies or, as is too often the case, from being abused by teenagers or others who filch them from family and friends. “More Americans currently abuse prescription drugs than the number of those using cocaine, hallucinogens and heroin combined,” states a DEA press release that cites statistics from the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Don’t allow your unused meds to fall into the wrong hands, potentially putting a life at risk. Join with other conscientious people who have participated in three prior DEA-led collections, which amassed a total of nearly 1 mil-

COLLECTION SITES Authorities plan to collect unwanted or expired prescription drugs Saturday at several Luzerne County sites, including the state police barracks in Wyoming, a Giant grocery store in Hazleton and many borough and township police headquarters.

lion pounds of prescription drugs. Or follow disposal directions printed on your medication’s label. Barring those options, the Food and Drug Administration offers advice in its consumerhealth document from April 2011 titled “How to Dispose of Unused Medicines.” Remove the pills from their original containers and mix them with an “undesirable substance” such as cat litter or coffee grounds, it suggests. Then seal the unsavory mix in a bag or other container that prevents leakage and dispose of it with your household trash. Follow one or more of these simple methods for handling your unwanted pills, and you’ll be helping to stop a national scourge that – in all too many instances – gets its start close to home.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “You never know what’s going to happen tomorrow.” Jackie Gingrich Cushman Newt Gingrich’s daughter said Tuesday that the former House speaker potentially would “reassess” his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination after seeing election results for Delaware, Pennsylvania and three other states that held primaries.

OTHER OPINION: GREEN ENERGY

Hydropower not laughing matter

EVIN FRANK IS understandably tired of his industry being the Rodney Dangerfield of the sustainable energy sector: no respect. All you hear these days is solar this and windmill that – biofuels, algae and so on. What about hydropower, wonders the CEO of Voith Hydro in West Manchester Township? New turbines and hydro-electric systems are more efficient these days. They can power enormous numbers of homes with the simple flow of water down a river. No greenhouse emissions, so no global warming concerns. Yes, they do pose some environmental issues. They can kill fish. But newer technology minimizes that impact. They also can obstruct fish migrations. But look at it this way: There are 80,000 dams on U.S. waterways that aren’t being used to produce electricity, according to Frank. They’re already in existence. They’re blocking fishing migrations now (or using fish ladders such as those along York County’s EDITORIAL BOARD

stretch of the Susquehanna River). Why not add hydropower to more of those existing dams? Voith recently delivered two huge turbines to PPL’s Holtwood Dam along the Susquehanna as part of a project to dramatically increase power output at that facility. The project will more than double the capacity of the plant, creating enough electricity for 100,000 homes. And it is not disruptive to the larger community, as other power infrastructure can be, with natural gas lines disturbing fields and forests. Bipartisan legislation before Congress, the Hydropower Improvement Act, would streamline the regulatory process, which is currently more cumbersome for hydro efforts than for many other electricity generation projects. As long as environmental protections are not substantially weakened, this bill makes sense. Lawmakers should give it – and hydropower – some respect. York Daily Record

MALLARD FILLMORE

Former Sem student calls for mandatory public service THIRTY YEARS ago today I was the only protester arrested at the public book burning put on by a fundamentalist church near Wilkes-Barre’s Kirby Park. I was a 17-year-old senior boarding student at Wyoming Seminary in Kingston and president of its Class of 1982. Today, I think most people would simply ignore this event, but in 1982 we were not that far removed from the horrors of Nazi Germany. Book burning was a tool the Nazis used with devastating effect. I knew when the Nazis had burned books that precious few stood up and said “no!” Two weeks shy of my 18th birthday I felt the weight on my shoulders. I needed to make my voice heard. It was a beautiful Sunday night. I stood together in protest with other Valley residents who were as disgusted as I was. Later that evening I waited at the police station for my advisers from Sem to chaperone me back to campus. When they came, they looked at me and asked, “Are you on drugs?” I will never forget those words. They didn’t only let me down, they let us all down. Shame on them. I learned important lessons that day about citizenship, responsibility and purpose. In the generation after World War II we knew that millions of people had died while others stood by and did nothing. If I wasn’t ready to speak up about something I felt was terribly wrong, then how could I expect others to do the same? I learned that my actions brought the consequences of an arrest and being placed on double-secret probation at Sem. It was that very price that made the experience so valuable. The Nazis burned books because they knew how powerful one person could be if he or she had an idea and conviction; if they killed ideas, they would kill freedom. Freedom is not free. It is time to speak out once again. I love my freedom. As a student in eighthgrade civics class when we studied the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and citizenship, I

ZAQ HARRISON felt like I was in Disneyland. I am a proud son of a decorated World War II veteran. As an adult, I served in the Israel Defense Forces and volunteered for combat duty. I speak from my heart: This country is facing a difficult time. The United States has a national obsession about rights. Somewhere along the way we lost a crucial component of this conversation – with rights come responsibilities. It is time to bring back mandatory national service. Although historically this was used only in times of war, I would argue that we face a crisis of such proportion the overriding national interest demands this. Compulsory national service also will create generations of Americans who have a common experience, a common price paid by all citizens. I am proud of my education from Wyoming Seminary. Sem has produced great leaders from its inception in 1844. It is time for a new brand of leadership to come out of this great institution. Sprague Avenue always has graduated a few to answer the call. That is not enough. I challenge the current graduating class and future graduating classes to embrace mandatory national service. Every generation faces its challenges. Currently only a minority carry the burden of serving in our military. Even fewer serve in any capacity of community service. This is not acceptable. The voices from the left to the right cry out that we are a divided nation on so many levels. Mandatory national service would begin to bring this country together by distributing both the burden and the responsibility to all citizens. We as a nation must be clear: Every citizen has an obligation to pay for their freedoms. I call it “democracy tax.” All post-high school, 18-year-old U.S. citi-

zens should be required to serve a minimum 24 months, with options for longer periods. How else will all of our young adults – from the inner cities, the country, the suburbs, the private schools and the public schools – coalesce? Where else will our young adults learn about their commonalities and still celebrate their differences? Draftees would choose between the military services or from the many other qualified programs such as AmeriCorps, VISTA, Peace Corps, Citizen Corps as well as local and national nonprofits. In turn, the government would provide oversight, help in human resources management and funding. All of these would create a broad enough base of options to offer the draftees. Several models already exist in other countries. More than 20 countries have mandatory service for a year or less. In addition, more than 40 countries mandate service for more than a year, and 30-plus countries for more than 18 months. Serve your country and your country will serve you. To the Wyoming Seminary graduates of the Class of 2012: Do not wait until tyranny overwhelms us; go forth and change the world now. Leadership is by example. Set aside your own immediate needs for the greater good. Imagine how much richer each of you would be from this life experience if you started college at 20. The current rules of our society present a no-win situation. If we don’t change these rules, we will fail as a nation. That is not an option.

BP engineer charged in Gulf spill The criminal charges are the first related to deadly explosion of Deepwater Horizon rig. By CAIN BURDEAU Associated Press

Out of the way, doggone it!

Nitoru, a 9-month-old toy poodle, rides a remote-controlled toy car operated by its owner Tuesday in Tokyo during lunch time.

NEW ORLEANS — A BP engineer intentionally deleted more than 300 text messages indicating that the amount of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico was much greater than what the company later reported and that BP’s efforts to control the spill were failing, the U.S. Justice Department alleged Tuesday in bringing its first criminal charges related to the deadly explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig.

Kurt Mix was arrested Tuesday and charged with two counts of obstruction of justice for allegedly destroying evidence sought by federal authorities. Mix The charges came a day before a federal judge in New Orleans was to consider a motion granting preliminary approval of a $7.8 billion civil settlement between BP and a committee of plaintiffs in a civil case. Shrimp processors have raised objections, saying the settlement does not adequately compensate them. Criminal penalties that could be levied against BP and its partners in the oper-

ation would be based in part on estimates of the amount of oil that spilled from the Macondo well. In an emailed statement, BP said it would not comment on the case but is cooperating with the Justice Department and other investigations into the oil spill. “BP had clear policies requiring preservation of evidence in this case and has undertaken substantial and ongoing efforts to preserve evidence,” the statement said. Mix, 50, of Katy, Texas, was scheduled to appear in federal court in Houston on Tuesday afternoon. If convicted, he faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 on each count. The engineer deleted more than 200 messages sent to a BP supervisor from his

iPhone in October 2010 containing information about how much oil was spilling out — and then erased 100 more the following year after receiving numerous legal notices to preserve the information, the Justice Department said in a news release. On the very first day in May of 2010 that BP began to use the “top kill” method to plug the leaking well by pumping heavy mud into the blown-out well head, Mix estimated in a text to his supervisor that 15,000 barrels of oil per day were spilling — an amount greater than what BP said the method could likely handle. The BP-leased rig Deepwater Horizon exploded the night of April 20, 2010, killing 11 workers and setting off the nation’s worst offshore oil disaster.

A man is back in Pennsylvania to face charges in the death of a man whose body was found in South Carolina. Rico Herbert was arraigned Monday night in Monroe County Court in the killing of 87-year-old Joseph DeVivo nearly two months ago. Authorities arrested Herbert in Charlotte, S.C., just hours after DeVivo was reported missing on Feb. 25. Police say Herbert directed them to a Lancster County, South Carolina river bed where they found DeVivo’s body on March 13. Investigators say Herbert denied killing DeVivo but allege in court documents Herbert repeatedly changed his story and sent another man a letter in an attempt to concoct an alibi.

Wacht shook his head from side to side as the verdict was read. He faces up to life in prison without parole. Johnson, who worked for North Dakota State University, was last seen alive getting into Wacht’s van outside a bar in Cooperstown on New Year’s Eve 2010. His severed head was found in a crawl space in Wacht’s basement a week later. His body has never been found.

GOP likely to go safe route with budget Deeper cuts could result if the Republicans win the Senate and presidency. By ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Republicans controlling the House are opting for the politically safe route as they follow up their tightfisted, tea party-driven budget with less controversial steps to cut spending. Instead of big reductions in Medicaid and Medicare, top GOP lawmakers are sticking mostly with familiar proposals like cutting money for

President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and federal employee pensions while reacBoehner hing out to Democrats to help pass annual spending bills.

Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., also calls for cutting day-to-day operating budgets for domestic agencies $19 billion below last summer’s bipartisan budget and debt deal. Republicans strongly backed the Ryan plan last month as a first step in tackling out-of-control deficits. It’s also a campaign document that casts in stark relief the differences between Republicans and Democrats on spending and deficits with an election little more than six months away. But steps to actually try to pass the full Ryan budget into

law aren’t happening; with Obama in the White House and Democrat controlling the Senate, any attempt to follow up the Ryan plan with binding legislation is doomed to fail. So GOP leaders like Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, appear to have decided that there’s no sense in making GOP lawmakers walk the plank and cast numerous politically dangerous votes on issues like Medicare. Still, conservatives are enthusiastic about the cuts, though they pale in comparison to what’s in store if Republicans win the Senate and take back the White House.

Pope spells out church’s course at start of his 8th year Benedict has moved recently to quell liberal dissent and promote a more conservative brand of Catholicism. By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI began his eighth year as pope on Tuesday after spending the waning days of his seventh driving home his view of the Catholic Church, with a divisive crackdown on dissenters and an equally divisive opening to a fringe group of traditionalists. The coming year may see more of the same as the Vatican gears up to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council, the 1962-65 church meetings that reshaped the Catholic Church and are key to understanding this papacy and Benedict’s recent moves to quell liberal dissent and promote a more conser-

vative brand of Catholicism. Tuesday marked the anniversary of the start of Benedict’s pontificate, which officially began April 24, 2005, with an inaugural Mass in St. Peter’s Square. The pope promised then not to impose his own will on the church but to rather listen “to the word and the will of the Lord, to be guided by him, so that he himself will lead the church at this hour of our history.” Seven years later, Benedict has certainly left a mark on the church, pressing a conservative interpretation of Vatican II’s key teachings, appointing like-minded bishops and making his priority the revitalization of traditional Catholicism in a world which, he often laments, seems to think that it can do without God. He set out many of those priorities in a December 2005 speech to his closest collaborators running the Vatican, insisting that Vatican II didn’t represent a break

from the past as many liberal-minded Catholics would like to think but rather a renewal of the church’s core teachings and traditions. The Vatican last week put those words into action, cracking down on the largest umbrella group of nuns in the United States, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious.

BEIRUT -- Syrian President Bashar Assad’s opponents appear to be resorting increasingly to assassinations of loyalist military officers in an escalation of their campaign to bring down the regime. At least 10 senior officers, including several generals, have been gunned down in the past three months, many of them as they left their homes in the morning to head to their posts. The latest occurred Tuesday, when attackers shot and killed a retired lieutenant colonel and his brother, a chief warrant officer, at a home supply store in another suburb of the capital, Damascus, according to the state news agency. Elsewhere in the capital, an intelligence officer was killed, opposition activists said. Such targeted slayings are rising as an intensified crackdown by regime forces in recent months has dealt heavy setbacks to Syria’s rebels. Meanwhile, Syrian troops heavily shelled a suburb of the capital Tuesday, and satellite imagery showed that Syria has failed to withdraw all of its heavy weapons from populated areas as required by a cease-fire deal, an official said. The shelling came hours after rebels killed three regime officers in separate attacks around Damascus, activists and state media said, the latest violence targeting the security forces used by the government to quash dissent. A bomb hidden in an army truck also exploded in the capital, wounding several people, while explosions were also reported elsewhere in Syria. Despite the bombardment, U.N. monitors visited the restive Damascus suburb of Douma on Tuesday, their second visit in two days. At the United Nations, international envoy Kofi Annan has told the U.N. Security Council that the situation in Syria is “bleak,” expressing particular alarm at reports that government troops entered the central city of Hama firing automatic weapons, killing a number of people. He echoed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in calling the current situation “unacceptable” and called on the Syrian government to immediately implement his six-point peace-plan.

Bill DeWeese ended his 35-year tenure in the state House on Tuesday, just hours before a judge sentenced him to prison for corruption, even as he anticipated winning the Democratic nomination for another term in the Pennsylvania primary election. A Dauphin County judge sentenced the former longtime House Democratic leader to 2 1⁄2 to 5 years in prison, fined him $25,000 and ordered him to pay nearly $117,000 in restitution after a 90-minute hearing at which lawyers sparred over DeWeese’s culpability and public statements about his conviction. Judge Todd Hoover told DeWeese he was convinced DeWeese used his position to persuade or force legislative employees to perform illegal campaign work and that he intentionally misused public resources for political purposes. DeWeese’s lawyer, Bill Costopoulos, vowed to appeal and said DeWeese’s political campaign remains on track.

Trio gets another crack at the playoffs By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

GAME 3 Penguins at Hershey Bears 7 p.m. today Pens lead series 2-0 Radio: 102.3-FM

Eric Tangradi is in a place that any of his Pittsburgh Penguin teammates would love to be – in a another playoff series. After spending the last two months with Pittsburgh, Tangradi joined the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for Thursday’s practice days after the big club was eliminated from the playoffs. The extended stay with Pittsburgh gave Tangradi a ton of experience, while the sting of a first round exit gave him a heap of motivation. “If you ask any of those guys up in Pitt if they could get another crack

NEW YORK — Jose Reyes went hitless in his return to Citi Field and Lucas Duda lined a tiebreaking single in the eighth inning that caromed off reliever Edward Mujica, sending the New York Mets to a 2-1 victory over the Florida Marlins on Tuesday night. Johan Santana and Josh METS Johnson zipped through the first six innings in a crisp pitchers’ MARLINS duel between healthy-looking aces. Santana, coming off the shortest start of his career, struck out 11 for the Mets while Johnson whiffed nine. Both working on six days’ rest, each pitcher was charged with one run and three hits in 6 2-3 innings. Santana and Johnson, both injured last season, threw 67 strikes apiece. A fan favorite during nine seasons with the Mets, Reyes was back to play in New York for the first time since signing a $106 million, six-year contract with

Lions coaches, players starting to get on same pages of intricate playbooks. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

Asked to describe the transition to Bill O’Brien’s new playbook on offense, one Penn State player compared it to learning Korean. Things aren’t quite that dramatic on the defensive side of the ball. If picking up the new offense is akin to figuring out a whole new alphabet, then Ted Roof’s defense is more like learning Spanish. Still challenging but based on something familiar. Roof, the Nittany Lions’ new defensive coordinator, has plans to shake things up. For many years, Joe Paterno’s preference was to run a zone-based defense, installed and coached by Tom Bradley. While there will still be some familiar and schemes used by Roof, the veteran coach plans to have much more variance in his coverages and formations.

WILKES-BARRE – If it were a friendly golf match, the Lake-Lehman girls soccer team would have asked for a Mulligan on Tuesday afternoon. Because if they could have done over those first four minutes, perhaps they wouldn’t have been done in. Coughlin scored twice before some fans even parked their cars, using the advantage for a 3-2 victory over Lehman in a Wyoming Valley Conference inter-

divisional game. “Good thing we did COUGHLIN it,” Coughlin coach Joe Spagnuolo, whose team won its fifth in a row to improve to 5-2-1 LEHMAN in Division 1-A. “I thought we played a really good game against a really good team. No question about it, they are a real soccer team.” It didn’t look that way early for Lehman (5-3 Div. 1-B), which entered off a

2-1 upset victory over defending Division 1-A and District 2 champion Berwick. Just 1:47 into the game, Coughlin’s Summer Lentini followed up her own shot to score a short way out on the right side. Less than two minutes later, Coughlin was up 2-0. Grace Fazzi scored from nearly the same spot Lentini did as Lehman keeper Denae Sutliff could only get

NEW YORK — The haul in free agency and through trades has strengthened the Broncos, Bills and Bears. Now comes the lifeblood of any NFL team: the draft. Denver merely landed the best quarterback ever to hit free agency, Peyton Manning. Buffalo homed in on one player to be a difference maker, 2006 top overall draft pick Mario Williams, and signed him before his only visit to a team ended. Chicago dealt for the No. 1 receiver it lacked, getting Brandon Marshall, and bolstered its roster by signing running back Michael Bush and even a quality backup quarterback behind the injury-prone Jay Cutler in Jason Campbell.

since early April and playing in three postseason games. The experience was a benefit, he said, but he’s not coming back as a changed player. “I rarely jump outside of the player that I am. I just try to bring exactly what I’ve brought all year long – good defensive play and stick to my foundations,” he said. But what all three can bring is a perspective of what it’s like to be down in a playoff series. Pittsburgh was down 3-0 to Philadelphia at one point, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has a 2-0 lead over Hershey in the best-of-five series.

AMERICAN LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Darvish Ks 10, Texas tops N.Y. The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Yu Darvish had a season-high 10 strikeouts pitching into the ninth inning and worked out of a couple of jams for the Texas Rangers in a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees and countryman Hiroki Kuroda on Tuesday night. In only the seventh MLB matchup ever of Japanese starters, Darvish (3-0) allowed seven hits and walked a seasonlow two in 8 1-3 innings. The 10 strikeouts were the most by a Texas pitcher this season. Ian Kinsler put the Rangers ahead to stay when he led off the first with a deep homer to left center off Kuroda (1-3), who limited Texas to two runs and five hits over 6 2-3 innings. The 37-year-old right-hander, in his fifth season in the majors, struck out five and walked one. But Kuroda was outpitched by Darvish, the 25-year-old righty making only his fourth major league start — and getting better each time on the mound. Rangers manager Ron Washington was going to give him a chance to finish the game but pulled Darvish after Nick Swisher’s one-out single on his 119th pitch. Joe Nathan needed only one pitch to coax a game-ending double-play grounder by Raul Ibanez. It was his fifth save in six chances, closing out the Rangers’ first shutout victory over the Yankees since Aug. 16, 2000. The Yankees had the bases loaded with no outs in the third after Derek Jeter reached on a bunt single. Darvish initially failed to field the ball, apparently expecting someone else to get it.

the fiery Texan finished his evening by striking out the side in the sixth. Rays 5, Angels 0

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — David Price pitched a fivehitter for his second career shutout, Tampa Bay homered four times, and the Rays beat the Los Angeles Angels. Price (3-1) gave up all singles in his first shutout since a four-hitter against Toronto on April 25, 2010. His only other complete game came July 2, 2010, against Minnesota. Desmond Jennings, Luke Scott, B.J. Upton and Carlos Pena hit solo homers off Angels starter Ervin Santana (0-4), who has given up at least two home runs in each of his first four starts this season — a total of 10 overall.

Latos gets first win as Reds defeat Giants The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Mat Latos finally got his first win for Cincinnati, pitching seven shutout innings against an old NL West nemesis, and Brandon Phillips homered and drove in three runs Tuesday night, leading the Reds to a 9-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Latos (1-2) came to the Reds in a four-player deal with San Diego and acknowledged trying too hard to impress his new team. He was back on his game against the Giants, allowing only four singles. Phillips hit a two-run homer in the first inning off Matt Cain (1-1) after being called out on a foul tip. The umpires changed the call and gave him another swing. The Giants have lost six straight and 11 of 15 at Great American Ball Park. Pirates 5, Rockies 4

PITTSBURGH — Andrew McCutchen had three RBIs, Casey McGehee drove in the go-ahead run with an eighth-

inning single and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Colorado Rockies on a chilly night. McGehee’s two-out single to right off Matt Belisle (1-1) scored pinch-runner Nate McLouth. Clint Barmes had led off the eighth with his second home run to tie the game at 4-4. Carlos Gonzalez hit his second two-run homer of the game in the top of the eighth to give Colorado the shortlived lead. Seven days after becoming the oldest pitcher to win a game in major-league history, 49-year-old Rockies starter Jamie Moyer was in line for another victory after allowing one run over six innings. But the Colorado bullpen promptly blew two leads against a team that had scored only 30 runs in 15 games coming in — by far the fewest in the majors. Gonzalez had three of the Rockies’ six hits. Barmes, a former Colorado player, had three hits for the Pirates, who have won four of six.

A dazzling first pitch for Roger JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — Roger Clemens’ lawyer wagged his finger. His voice cracked. He called himself Columbo. He claimed evidence had been manipulated. He appealed to the jurors’ hearts as well as their heads in his opening statement Tuesday in defense of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. “God help me if we have reached a stage in this country where we make a federal case of denying you committed a crime,” Rusty Hardin said in a hushed voice at the end of a presentation that lasted more than an hour and drew no fewer than four objections from the government. “Our government should never, ever prosecute somebody for saying ‘I did not do it.”’ Less theatrical, but just as self-assured, was the voice of Clemens himself, heard on an audio tape in one of the first pieces of evidence presented at the trial. “I have never used steroids,” Clemens is heard saying without hesitation during a 2008 deposition on Capitol Hill. “Never performance-enhancing steroids.” Clemens’ confidence and Hardin’s Texas charm featured prominently on Day 6 of the retrial that seeks to determine whether Clemens lied to Congress — at the deposition and at a hearing that followed — when he denied using steroids and human growth hormone. The first attempt to bring the case to court ended in a mistrial when the government introduced inadmissible evidence. The jury also heard from the trial’s first witness, congressional staffer Phil Barnett, who happened to be on the stand when the mistrial was declared last July. The government is using Barnett to help establish that Congress had the right to conduct its hearings on drug use in sports. The court adjourned early in the afternoon for the rest of the week because the judge had a previously scheduled out-oftown trip. The trial is scheduled to resume Monday. Hardin’s opening statement was a contrast to the more pedantic approach Monday from prosecutor Steven Durham, who attempted to link together many dates and facts designed to portray Clemens as an allstar who took performance-enhancing drugs to lengthen his career and then became “trapped in a web” of lies to cover up his actions. Hardin is known as a master of connecting with jurors, and he had no trouble grabbing their attention. He was at his most riveting when he displayed a map of the United States showing all the locations of the people the government had interviewed in an attempt to gather evidence against Clemens. “One hundred three federal law enforcement officers over whether a baseball player used steroids!” said Hardin.

the division-rival Marlins in December. He said it was an exciting and emotional day, but he wasn’t sure what to expect. What he received was a mix of cheers — and louder boos — most of the night from the crowd of 20,192, the smallest this season at Citi Field. The star shortstop finished 0 for 4 and was robbed of extra bases on a leaping catch by rookie center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis leading off the game. Jon Rauch (3-0) worked a perfect inning and closer Frank Francisco, pulled in a save situation Saturday, tossed a hitless ninth for his fourth save. The Mets, swept in a doubleheader by San Francisco on Monday, won for the second time in seven games.

a leg on her shot before it went in. “I’m a little disappointed by the way we started,” Lehman coach Kelly Adamshick said. “When we did play well, we controlled a lot. We definitely had opportunities we didn’t finish.” Shohana Mahoney, Lehman’s leading scorer, and Emily Sutton made some inroads after the two Coughlin goals before Sutton scored in the 30th minute. She took control of the ball about 25 yards out and quickly lined her shot just under the crossbar. Coughlin, though, took advantage of another second chance to score 15 minutes into the second half. Jess Bella had a shot hit the crossbar, but then scored when Kaitlyn Pearage passed the ricochet back to her. The goal was Bella’s first of the season. Mahoney struck with 16 minutes to play, but the Black Knights didn’t have any serious threat from then on. Still, Adamshick came away feeling good about the effort. “When we play these better teams, it’s nice to see us be competitive,” the Lehman coach said. “Couple years ago, we’d play and it would be like 10-0. At least we’re playing with the teams in the upper division and can handle it.” Lake-Lehman........................................... 0 2 — 2 Coughlin ................................................... 2 1 — 3 First half: 1.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees have been winning via comeback recently with back-to-back come from behind wins entering Tuesday night. But on Tuesday, it was Pawtucket that picked up the comeback win erasing a two-run deficit for a 4-3 victory at McCoy Stadium. With the loss, the Yankees fall back under .500 at 8-9 and will need two more games to try to get over the even mark for the first time this season. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre took a 2-0 lead in the top of the second when Brandon Laird smacked his first home run of the season. The two-run shot which barely cleared the left field wall, came on a two-strike pitch from former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Baron Brandon Duckworth. Duckworth, who won the International League’s Most Valuable Pitcher and Rookie of the

Year awards with the Red Barons in 2001, got the start for Pawtucket. He was making just his third start of the season, but first since April 12 so he only lasted four innings. He gave up two runs on four hits and fanned three. Yankees starter D.J. Mitchell (2-1) was cruising along with three perfect innings until the PawSox got to the righty in the fourth when they scored all of their runs. The first hit of the game for the Red Sox (14-5) came on a solo home run by Daniel Nava to trim the Yankees’ lead to 2-1. Two batters later, Mauro Gomez blasted a two-run shot down the line in left as Pawtucket took its first lead at 3-2. An RBI-double by Josh Kroeger later in the fourth gave the Red Sox a 4-2 lead. A Doug Bernier sacrifice fly in the seventh pulled the Yankees within a run at 4-3. But they couldn’t muster another run off Pawtucket pitchers.

Hanover Area tops Seminary The Times Leader staff

KINGSTON — Mickey Ferrence continued his strong season, tossing a six-inning onehitter on Tuesday as Hanover Area defeated Wyoming Seminary 10-0 in a WVC Division II baseball game. Ferrence, a junior left-hander, struck out nine and didn’t allow a walk. Only a second-inning single kept him from a no-hitter. At the plate, he doubled and drove in two runs for the Hawkeyes (6-0), who remain the lone unbeaten team in the league. Mike Blazaskie, Jack Windt and Matt Kocher also doubled and finished with two RBI. Craig Skudalski had the lone hit for the Blue Knights (3-3).

Durant scores 32, reserves power Thunder past Kings

Zajac’s goal in overtime forces decisive Game 7

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 32 points, reserve Daequan Cook had all 19 of his points in the fourth quarter and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Sacramento Kings 118-110 on Tuesday night to win their first game since James Harden took an elbow to the head. Durant extended his lead in a tight NBA scoring race with the Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter in a close game. Durant is averaging 27.97 points per game to Bryant’s 27.86 with each having one game left. Cook filled the scoring void, scoring Oklahoma City’s first 14 points of the final period to put the Thunder ahead for the first time since the first quarter. DeMarcus Cousins, who was allowed to play only after his 13th technical foul was rescinded earlier in the day, led Sacra-

Not only will the players have to adjust, but so will Roof’s top two lieutenants – line coach Larry Johnson and linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden. The only two holdovers from the old coaching staff, they spent 16 and 11 seasons, respectively, working under Paterno. Now three months removed from his hiring, Roof said that he hasn’t had any problems integrating with Johnson and Vanderlinden. “The transition’s been fantastic,” Roof said after Saturday’s Blue-White Game, in which the defense bested the offense 77-65. “We’re all on the same page. We’re together as a staff. It was good for us (Saturday) as a defen-

Hawks 109, Clippers 102 ATLANTA — Joe Johnson scored 28 points, including a wild 3-pointer in the final minute, and the Atlanta Hawks held on for a victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, moving a step closer to wrapping up homecourt in the first round of the playoffs. Blake Griffin scored a seasonhigh 36 points, while Chris Paul added 34 in a back-and-forth sive staff to be able to work the gameday aspects – all the elements and communication aspects of the headset, personnel and down-and-distance (calls), things of that nature. “It’s been great and I’ve been real pleased with our staff.” More than just fundamental changes to the defense, Roof is installing all-new terminology. Gone are some of the long-surviving quirks from the Paterno regime. Say goodbye to the Hero position – it’s simply strong safety and free safety now. The linebackers are now all referred to by the industry standard names of Will (weakside), Mike (middle) and Sam (strongside). “It’s learning a new language for a lot of guys,” Roof said. “We’re not reinventing the wheel, it’s just what may have been called apple is called orange, or whatever.

game that was never in double figures until the Hawks went on a 15-2 run at the end of the third quarter, sparked by Jeff Teague and Josh Smith. Celtics 78, Heat 66 BOSTON — In the end, the No. 1 playoff seed in the Eastern Conference was not the priority. Getting to the playoffs further unscathed, against a still-to-bedetermined opponent, clearly remains paramount for the Miami Heat. So even with all three saying periments with some different things. “As a coach, one of the goals going into the fall was finding out who we are and what we can do well. Because good coaches figure out what their players can do and figure out their job description based on that. They don’t try and stuff a square peg in a round hole.” Williamsport grad in the mix Penn State hasn’t had an impact player from the Wyoming Valley Conference in eight years. The odds-on favorite to end that drought is former Wyoming Valley West standout Eugene Lewis, who will enroll this summer and play receiver. But there’s a chance someone else could beat him to it. Safety Jake Fagnano, a Williamsport grad, worked with the

they could have played if this was a postseason game, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were reduced to spectators for a loss to the Boston Celtics at TD Garden. The loss, in the Heat’s penultimate game of the regular season, officially extinguished their chances of finishing atop the East, something that would have happened anyway if the conference-leading Chicago Bulls would have won one of their upcoming two remaining games. first-team defense during the Blue-White Game next to Malcolm Willis. The fifth-year senior has seen meaningful time in the past, particularly in 2010 following injuries to fellow safeties Nick Sukay and Andrew Dailey. With the Lions banged up again this spring and needing to replace all four starters in the secondary, Fagnano got a chance to step forward. “Jake Fagnano had a great spring,” Roof said. “Because of our depth back there, he got a million reps. And he got better as a result of that.” Fagnano will likely compete with junior Stephen Obeng-Agyapong for the starting strong safety job. Sophomore Adrian Amos, who was a cornerback last year but lined up at safety on Saturday, figures to claim a spot somewhere in the defensive backfield.

NEWARK, N.J. — Travis Zajac scored at 5:39 of overtime and the New Jersey Devils avoided elimination and sent yet another Eastern Conference first-round series to a seventh game with a 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night. Steve Bernier and Ilya Kovalchuk also scored and Martin Brodeur made 14 saves for New Jersey, which squandered a twogoal lead and had fans dreading another first-round playoff exit until Zajac scored from the right hand circle. The shot beat Scott Clemmensen to the lower corner and set off a mob scene on the ice. Clemmensen was outstanding, stopping 39 shots in an emergency start for the injured Jose Theodore. Kris Versteeg and Sean Bergenheim tallied for Florida, which was looking for its first series win since 1996. “I feel like safety is my natural position,” Amos said. “I’m good at corner – I’ve played corner longer than safety. I think it’s easier for me to adjust from corner to safety than if it was the other way around. I feel comfortable at any position in the secondary.” Willis, a junior, is considered a safe bet to start at free safety. Senior Stephon Morris looks to have one of the starting jobs at cornerback locked down. Converted receiver Curtis Drake also ran at first-team corner on Saturday. “There’ll be some competition for some jobs once we start camp – spots in the secondary,” Roof said. “Competition’s good for everybody. It makes everybody better. But depth is obviously a concern.” Two games set for prime-time

Game 7 will be played in Sunrise, Fla., on Thursday. Two other series in the conference are also headed to Game 7s. Washington will be at second-seeded Boston on Wednesday and Ottawa will be at the top-seeded Rangers on Thursday. The Panthers had a chance in a scramble in front of Brodeur just before Zajac’s goal. However, Zajac pulled the puck away from the crease and led a rush up ice. Zach Parise took his cross-ice pass and gave the puck to Kovalchuk, who found Zajac skating down the right wing for a shot along the ice into the net. The Devils outshot Florida 42-16 in a game played before a sellout crowd. Despite being outshot 29-10 in the opening 40 minutes, the Panthers rallied from a 2-0 deficit and entered the third period tied at 2-all. O’Brien’s first season will feature a pair of games in primetime, the school announced Tuesday. The Lions will be under the lights on back-to-back Saturdays in October, traveling to Iowa for an 8 p.m. kick on Oct. 20 and returning home for a 6 p.m. start on Oct. 27 against rival Ohio State at Beaver Stadium. The Iowa game will appear on the Big Ten Network. The Ohio State game will be broadcast on either ESPN or ESPN2, with a final decision coming in October. These games are the only ones on Penn State’s schedule to have a kickoff time set. The other 10 contests will be played in the afternoon. Penn State’s season opens on Sept. 1 against Ohio at Beaver Stadium.

COLLEGE VOLLEYBALL

JANNEY MONTGOMERY SCOTT LLC

Colonels hit it big with a familiar name

Beingonthehighschoolvolleyball scene for more than 20 years as coach, Joe Czopek is one of the more recognizable names and faces in the Wyoming Valley Conference. A successful leader for the boys and girls programs at Wyoming Valley West for 17 years, he accepted the job of Wilkes University women’s volleyball coach earlier in the week. “I’m ready to take the next step is the way I’m looking at it,” said Czopek, who is planning on keeping the boys job with the Spartans and resigning from the girls team. “I spoke with Wilkes (administration) and we agreed that we

DRAFT Continued from Page 1B

Those moves make all three franchises, none of which had a winning record in 2011 — yes, we know, the Broncos won the pitiful AFC West at 8-8 — more viable contenders. With Manning aboard, the Broncos are in a win-now mode. “I think the bottom line is we want to do the best thing to surround him with a team that’s going to give him an opportunity to win,” Broncos boss John Elway said. “We want to come out of every draft ... with players that are impact players. As I said last year, you have a lot more misses in my mind when you draft to need, so we’re going to find the best players in positions of need, but also try to find those impact players that are going to come in and help us right away. “We’re talking about now. Impact doesn’t necessarily mean a starter, but one that can come in and help us win.” Unquestionably, Manning is the major addition, as influential a newcomer as you can get. Denver could use an upgrade at receiver, and the Broncos just might target one at No. 25 overall. “If you look at where we were and where we are, the offensive mindset is a little bit different than it was. That is going to

can keep the boys program as long as Valley West doesn’t have a problem,” he said. “I’m thinking I will only miss a few Saturdays to go recruiting and that’s it.” As of Tuesday night, there were no problems with the coach’s decision. And as long as the Valley West school board agrees, like they have in the past, he will be able to stay at the helm of the boys team. Boys volleyball in the PIAA is played in the spring, while women’s volleyball is a fall sport. Staying at Valley West will keep his ties on the high school level and could help recruiting in the school, the Wyoming Valley Conference and District 2. Czopek took over the Spartans’ girls program in1995 and the boys

team in 1996. He did that after a five-year stint as volleyball coach at Nanticoke. For a time, he was also swimming and diving coach with the Trojans when he began at the school in 1986. His accomplishments with the Spartans include three consecutive District 2 Class 3A championships from 2007-09. In 2008 and 2009, his teams reached the regional final. In 2011, his girl’s squad earned a district berth. He has also coached at the club level serving as the head coach of the Northeast Alliance AAU club team and is a member of the Pennsylvania Volleyball Coaches Association. At Wilkes, Czopek will take over a women’s program that has

made two trips to the Freedom Conference Tournament in the past four seasons reaching the semifinals in 2008. This past fall, the Lady Colonels struggled to a 2-22 season with a 1-6 mark in the conference. But the youthful squad consisted of only three seniors on the 10-player roster. Czopek, a 1988 grad from King’s College, takes over for former Bishop Hoban standout Meredith Alexis, who was the coach for one season. "I look forward to leading and mentoring the Wilkes Women’s volleyball team to be the best and most cohesive team they can be,” he added. “The mixture of returning talent and new recruits will make for an exciting season.”

OPEN MIC NIGHT TONIGHT 8 PM-12 AM change the type of people that we are looking at offensively,” Elway said. “Defensively, nothing has changed other than the fact that we’ve gotten to know (defensive coordinator) Jack Del Rio and the type of people he likes and the style that he is going to play defensively.” The style of defense in Buffalo will be aggressive, with Williams as the focal point. Coming off a torn chest muscle that cost him the final 11 games of last season, the defensive end/linebacker still got the biggest contract in NFL history for someone on that side of the ball: $100 million for six years, with $50 million guaranteed. Bills general manager Buddy Nix, however, always has emphasized that building a competitive team is done through the draft, and there’s no shortcut to that approach. Nix’s goal from the beginning has been to compile experienced depth — through the draft. “My point is we’ve said from Day 1 that if there’s a guy there that we think can make the difference we’ll be aggressive and go after the guy,” Nix said. “So this just plugs up a piece of the puzzle and he’ll get us over the hump. He’s a position of need that we were able to fill, but the same philosophy will hold through in the draft.

“I think it had a lot of impact on us really,” Nix added of putting Williams, end Mark Anderson (another free agency signing), and incumbent tackles Kyle Williams and Marcell Dareus together. “Therefore, we’re a little freer as far as who we pick (10th overall).” Offensive line could be where the Bills go with that selection. It’s also what the Bears might ad-

dress at 19th overall. They’ve already upgraded their receiving corps and depth in the backfield, and the defense is solid. “We got better,” star linebacker Brian Urlacher said. “On paper we’re a better football team than we were last year at the end of the season, so I’m excited about that.” And Chicago hasn’t even made a draft pick yet.

Tangradi said he knows what Hershey is feeling. “It’s a different mindset, and being a part of that I can help these guys out,” he said. “We’re going to get Hershey’s best game, best 60-minute effort and they’re going to bring a whole lot to the table. “We better close them out when we can because if we give them any momentum the series can change.” Taking on the Giant The Penguins play their first road playoff game tonight in the Giant Center with a chance to close out the series with a win. Captain Ryan Craig said the team, which won four out of six in Hershey during the regular season, isn’t worried about a boisterous Bears crowd. “We’re just worried about ourselves and how we want to play,” he said. “We’re excited to get on the road. You play your first two games of the playoffs at home in a great atmosphere, and you really don’t feel like the playoffs have started until you head to another building for a big game.” Head coach John Hynes acknowledged the Giant Center is a tough arena to play in and there will be challenges that his players will have to face. “It’s harder to keep your emotions in check when you’re in a visiting building because the fans are on you,” he said. “That’s what makes it a difficult place and we just have to manage that.” Hynes himself will face a challenge in that he won’t get the last line change being in a road venue. Still, Hynes didn’t anticipate any problems with matching up lines against the Bears. “It’s more of an awareness of when and who is on the ice for the players,” he said. “If they do get caught in a particular matchup, guys have to be much more aware of tendencies.”

Housing sees mixed news

The government reported Tuesday that new home sales dropped 7.1 percent in March but revised the figures for February significantly upward. Sales of new single-family homes last month were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 328,000, according to data from the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The figure for March was the lowest since November, but was slightly above analyst expectations. Separately, the Standard & Poor’s/ Case-Shiller home-price index showed that prices dropped in February from January in 16 of the 20 cities it tracks. The index fell 3.5 percent over the 12 months that ended in February. That’s the smallest annual drop in a year.

Frank Joanlanne, who had been general manager of Frontier Communications’ Pennsylvania operations since 2009, has taken the role of president, effective Monday. “He’s going to be leading the firm on a day-to-day basis,” with responsibility for operations, sales and marketing among other duties, Borton said. “He has a great history in putting teams to-

Confidence holding up

The Hershey Co. said Tuesday its first-quarter profit rose 24 percent as higher prices and cost cutting helped offset rising ingredient costs. The company raised its sales forecast for the year, which sent shares up 5.5 percent near an all-time high that was set nearly seven years ago. Last year Hershey raised prices by nearly 10 percent to offset rising prices for raw materials including sugar, fuel and packaging. The company said higher prices helped offset slightly lower volume and sent revenue up 11 percent.

CANONSBURG – The Marcellus Shale Coalition has named John L. Augustine III, formerly of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business & Industry, its community outreach coordinator for Northeastern Pennsylvania. Augustine, 36, of Mountain Top, served as Augustine the chamber’s senior director for economic and entrepreneurial development from 2003 until earlier this year. Augustine said his new job will be to promote the coalition, which represents the natural gas industry’s interests in Pennsylvania, “from the top level all the way down.” That will include developing educational programs for schools and colleges and soliciting new businesses to join the group. As one of three community relations coordinators in the state, Augustine will work in a large area across the northern tier and in northcentral Pennsylvania. “The first action for me is going out to the community to introduce myself to introduce the coalition and to really show folks from a membership standpoint what the coalition has to offer,” Augustine said. “One of the things we’ve heard in the Northeast is, we see drilling around us, how can we get involved? How can we be part of this great industry?” In a statement, Marcellus Shale Coalition president Kathryn Klaber said Augustine will “(focus) largely on engaging key stakeholders, will add a great deal of value to our members and further strengthen our industry’s voice and regional presence.” Augustine was one of three chamber employees laid off in January as the economic development organization cut back.

Augustine to aid coalition

The Conference Board, a private research group, said on Tuesday that its Consumer Confidence Index is at 69.2, down slightly from a revised 69.5 in March. The current level is below February’s 71.6, which is the highest level it has been in about a year. The current level is significantly below the 90 reading that indicates a healthy economy. But it’s well above its all-time low of 25.3 in February 2009.

The relative strength of iPhone sales means they accounted for 58 percent of Apple’s revenue, more than ever. Three years ago, the figure was 27 percent. As has been the trend the last year, Asia, and in particular China, accounted for much of the revenue growth. A quarter of Apple’s sales now come from Asia, excluding Japan. 10-YR T-NOTE 1.98%

With the sun now as strong as it is on Aug. 17 and with subfreezing temperatures as low as 3,500 feet above the ground, the atmosphere today will remain unstable, causing more showers to form. Some of the showers may come with thunder. As warmer air moves in Thursday ahead of a fast-moving cold front, more showers will arrive. But Friday will be rain free and a little colder. Another area of rain may just miss us to the south on Saturday so, for now, the weekend weather is looking OK, but with below normal temperatures. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER TOM SKUDALSKI

VANDERLYN’S RESTAURANT

Citrus-seared scallops burst with flavor

MY CITRUSSEARED scallops are a great new dish to be enjoyed any time of the year. I created this dish because scallops are one of my favorite forms of seafood, the preparation is simple for cooks of any skill level, and these burst with flavor. I decided on the lime and orange flavors, which complement the natural sweetness of the scallops, with the crushed red pepper adding a little heat, making this a truly desirable dish. I mention using the zest as an ingredient; the zest is the colored outer covering of citrus fruit, which provides additional flavor to any dish. The easier way to do this is by using a tool called a “zester,” otherwise you can use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest and chop it finely or remove the zest using a box grater. Although this is a quick dish suitable as an entrée or appetizer with minimal prep time, it is extremely important not to overcook the scallop. When searing the scallop, be sure your pan is very hot; after a minute or two turn the scallop over, and you will have a properly seared scallop with a light, golden crust coated with herbs and zest. This dish always leaves my friends and family looking for more. The U-10 designation for the sea scallops means it takes 10 of them to equal one pound. If you would rather sit back, relax and enjoy the dish, we’ll do the cooking for you. We will offer CitrusSeared Sea Scallops at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning today through the weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com. •••

CITRUS-SEARED SEA SCALLOPS

brew and a bro — it’s the classic pairing, right? Not necessarily. From the rise of female brew masters to the growth of women’s tasting groups, women are becoming much more than a pint-size part of the brewing world. The emergence of women as both beer-lovers and brewers happened as the craft-beer scene grew overall by leaps and bounds, and that’s no coincidence, says Lisa Morrison, Oregon-based writer, blogger and author of “Craft Beers of the Pacific Northwest.” “I think that women are finally discovering,

thanks to craft beer, that beer has flavor,” she says. “When we start getting into the artisan stuff you start realizing that there’s an entire rainbow of flavors that you can enjoy. And because of that you can pair that with all kinds of different food flavors,” Morrison says. “Women love food. We love cooking. We love tasting food. We love sampling different things. So when you put all that together, the cooking with beer, the pairing food with beer, the whole wide-ranging genre of beer styles and beer flavors — it’s something that women can get really excited about.” See BEER, Page 4C

Celebrate mom with cheesy baked eggs in bed By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

Mother’s Day is, of course, the day you serve the hardworking mother in your life a delicious breakfast in bed. And these baked eggs are a fantastic — and easy — way to do that. If you aren’t inclined to serve them in bed, they are just as at home on the brunch table. Accompany them with buttered toast for dipping and fruit salad. ••• MOTHER’S DAY EGGS EN COCOTTE Start to finish: 25 minutes

Servings: 4 4 tablespoons heavy cream, divided 4 tablespoons shredded prosciutto 4 eggs 4 tablespoons herbed chevre (soft goat cheese) Ground black pepper 1/4 cup chopped fresh tomato 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme Heat the oven to 375 F. Arrange four 4-ounce ramekins in a baking dish. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Pour 1/2 tablespoon of cream into the bottom of each ramekin. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the shredded prosciutto into each, then top with an egg. Top each egg with 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese and another 1/2 tablespoon of the cream. Sprinkle each

lightly with pepper. Pour enough boiling water into the baking dish around the ramekins to come halfway up the sides of the dishes, being careful not to get any in the ramekins. Carefully move the baking dish to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the whites are just set. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and top each with 1 tablespoon of tomato and a sprinkle of thyme. Serve immediately.

Yield: 2 Ingredients Zest of 1orange, finely chopped, Zest of 1 lime, finely chopped 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 8 (U-10) sea scallops, fresh dry pack 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 ounces red pepper, finely diced 4 green onions, sliced 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced 1 ounce Triple Sec 1/2 teaspoon salt and white pepper mix 1 ounce lime juice, fresh squeezed from zested lime 2 ounces orange juice, fresh squeezed from zested orange 3 ounces mandarin oranges 1/2 ounce whole butter Method of Preparation 1. In a small bowl, combine the orange and lime zest and chopped cilantro, season with salt and crushed red pepper, and set aside for use when searing scallops. 2. Season the scallops on both sides with the zest and herb mixture. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, allow the oil to get very hot and sear the scallops on each side for 1-2 minutes. Place skillet in 450-degree oven for five to six minutes to finish cooking the scallops and begin the accompanying sauce. 3. Heat olive oil in sauté pan and sauté peppers for one minute. Add garlic and green onions. Cook 30 seconds. 4. Remove pan from the stove, add Triple Sec and slowly return to stove. If you are using a gas stove, there may be a brief flame while the alcohol is burned away, leaving the orange flavor. 5. Add orange and lime juices, half the zests and mandarin oranges. 6. Swirl in butter to bring sauce together; season with salt and pepper mix. 7. Place the scallops in a preheated bowl or plate, drizzle with sauce, garnish with remaining zest, and enjoy with your favorite accompaniments.

BEER Continued from Page 1C

The marketing message is also different, says Julia Herz, home brewer and craft beer program director at the Boulder, Colo.-based Brewers Association. “Historically, the mass-produced lagers have been marketed as a beverage targeting males in their mid to high 20s, and it seems to me in advertising that I see for craft beer that it’s really not marketed as a gender-specific beverage.” It’s hard to put a number on the trend, but Morrison and others say they’ve personally seen more women take an interest in beer. “It used to be at beer festivals, I was pretty much the only gal. Now it’s definitely venturing more toward 60-40” with women being the 40 percent, says Morrison, who has been involved in the craft beer scene for nearly 15 years. On the business side, beer management remains predominantly male, though there have been changes there, too, says Irene Firmat, founder and CEO of Full Sail

of love.” Firmat also started in beer about 25 years ago, a time when there were about 20 craft breweries nationwide compared to today’s 2,000. Back then, it was considered more outlandish to be challenging the big domestic producers than to be a woman in the beer business, she says. As far as operating in a man’s world, she says, “the thing that I always focused on, and it’s what I always tell women in our company, is really focus on being competent. Focus on being good and doing your job and don’t go in expecting to get a reaction.” And, of course, there’s always a silver lining. “You can always tell when you’re at a beer conference because there’s a line in the men’s room and there’s none in the women’s room,” she says with a laugh. One of the things that Firmat sees as a challenge is keeping craft beer accessible to women, which means guarding against the snobbery that can creep in when consumers become very enthusiastic about a product — think wine. “Our responsibility is making sure that the way we communicate is very respectful to men and women,” she says.

Brewing Co. in Hood River, Ore. To support female brewers, a support network called the Pink Boots Society was formed. It includes a consumer tasting-group organization, Barley’s Angels, that has chapters in the U.S., Canada, Australia and South America. Being a female beer producer means standing out, says Rosemarie Certo, cofounder and owner of Dock Street Brewing Co. in West Philadelphia. Certo’s interest in beer started when she began making beer at home because she wasn’t happy with what was available domestically at the time. She started Dock Street in 1985 and remembers in the early days going to make a sales pitch to a distributor and being the only woman in a room of morethan50.“Iremembernotbeing bothered by it,” she recalls. She sees the craft segment as generally having a different approach to business. “I think it’s easierforwomentoenterthecraft industry only because the craft industry is different to begin with,” she says, pointing out that most people don’t go into the labor-intensive craft beer business with dreams of piling up a fortune. “It’s an industry that is born from a lot

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25, 2012 PAGE 7C

Daughter is wondering if photo album should cover all of dad’s life Dear Abby: My father is turning 60 this year, and I want to make him a photo album with pictures from throughout his life. However, Dad is widowed and remarried, so I’m having a hard time deciding what to do with respect to my mother. They were married 25 years before she died, and they loved each other very much. They raised two children together, and she was an important part of his life. At the same time, I have a feeling that including pictures of Mom may upset my stepmother. While I am not close with her, I don’t want to intentionally hurt her feelings.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE What should I do? — Laura in St. Louis Dear Laura: You’re asking an intelligent question and I commend you for your sensitivity. If the photo album is intended to be a surprise for your father, consider talking to your stepmother about the idea. It will give you an indication of how such a gift would be perceived by her. Dear Abby: I’m 24 and love my parents. Mom confided to me that she has been seeing a high school flame

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

behind my father’s back. She claims she loves this man and said she has slept with him, but she doesn’t want to leave the security my father provides for her. She swore me to secrecy about her affair. Meanwhile, my father has started talking to me about their marital problems. He doesn’t understand why Mother isn’t happy. I feel like I should tell him, but that would betray my mother. At the same time, not telling him what I know is betraying him. What should I do? — Caught in the Middle Dear Caught In The Middle: Your parents should not be confiding their marital difficulties to you. They should attempt to resolve them by communicating with each other —

CRYPTOQUOTE

preferably with the help of a licensed marriage counselor. That your mother would turn you into a coconspirator in her affair is despicable. Give her a deadline to level with your father or tell her that you will. He deserves to know the truth. Dear Abby: I have fallen in love with a very special woman. She happens to be my daughter-in-law’s mother. We are very happy together, but our children are extremely upset about this. My son and her daughter no longer speak to us at this point. I feel it’s my life and I shouldn’t live it for the kids, nor would I want them to live their lives for me. Is it wrong for me to be with her, or are the kids overreacting? — In Love in Kentucky

Dear In Love: The “kids” are overreacting, and they shouldn’t be trying to blackmail the two of you into doing what they prefer. It IS your life, and just as you wish your son and daughter-in-law every happiness, they should be doing the same for you. This situation is not as unusual as they think, and they should not be judging or punishing you, because you are doing nothing wrong.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

GOREN BRIDGE WITH OMAR SHARIF & TANNAH HIRSCH PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Living large is a frame of mind. Adventures aren’t cheap, but you’ll continue on because you have a feeling that the experience will be worth the cost. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are creative, and your whims will bring magic into your world. So dare to take a flight of fancy. You’ll wind up in a fascinating place because you went off on this tangent. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Let people know how you really feel. Be specific. Expressing yourself in euphemistic terms won’t communicate what you need from others. CANCER (June 22-July 22). What you believe about life may be true, and it may not be true. Either way, those beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, behaviors and attitudes. Decide which beliefs are getting in your way. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t always feel the need to take full credit for the marvelous outcomes you create. Sometimes you even give others more credit than they deserve in order to raise morale. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re slightly concerned about getting your work done in a timely manner, and friendly distractions abound. Don’t let your worries get the best of you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a vivid vision of what your life should be, taking into account your desires and inclinations. This may be the idealized version, but it’s certainly something to shoot for.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

HOW TO CONTACT: Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know enough to continue a project on your own, and yet you do what only the truly savvy would do: ask for more opinions and information. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t usually need a lot of outside motivation, but occasionally it makes all the difference. This is one of those occasions. You’ll do your best. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even though your to-do list is long, you’re able to approach things with a jovial, fun-loving mood. It takes a high level of emotional intelligence to maintain this stellar attitude. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like getting feedback because you know it helps you improve in ways you couldn’t have seen on your own. Being able to accept feedback and use it constructively gives you an advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be near someone you admire, and you’ll take notes, probably without realizing it. You’ll learn from this person’s mannerisms, but mostly you’ll absorb the general essence of this person. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 25). Enjoy all the fawning and presents you get today! Through the next six weeks, you’ll be recognized for your unique qualities and truly novel approach to relationships. You’ll bring zesty energy to your work and be noticed and promoted for this. Improvements in your health and fitness happen through June and July. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 15, 20, 5, 16 and 32.
