Official: Deal will keep SWB Yanks here Vote on franchise sale this morning

SCRANTON – Attorney Steven Labovitz, the chief baseball negotiator for Lackawanna County, told an audience of approximately 100 interested citizens Wednesday night the agreement to be voted on today regarding the sale of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees is a “better” deal than the original Memorandum of Understanding in November 2010.

The Lackawanna County MultiPurpose Stadium Authority is scheduled to meet at 8 this morning to vote on the final approval of the $14.6 million sale of the Triple-A baseball franchise to SWB Yankees LLC, a joint venture of the New York Yankees and Mandalay Baseball Properties. In preparation for that meeting, the Lackawanna County commissioners and the Stadium Authority held a public hearing Wednesday

night at the Scranton Cultural Center. Labovitz was the first of five speakers who described the particulars of the deal and its associated reconstruction of PNC Field in Moosic in a presentation that took one hour, 18 minutes. “You are going to be able to keep the team here in a state-of-the-art ballpark for 30 years – and possibly 50 years – in a deal that is better than what was originally negotiat-

ed,” he said. Labovitz led a team of negotiators that represented the county in dealing with SWB Yankees to finalize the sale after the understanding between the parties in 2010. He brought many concerns of the new county commissioners into the negotiations and said he believes that from the Yankees’ reaction, the organization is committed to its future here. Proceeds from the sale of the team combine with a state grant to pay for the bulk of the costs in the $43 million reconstruction of PNC

2012 ELECTION

Experts fault run by Holden

WILKES-BARRE – Gene Stilp, fresh off of his Democratic primary win, made good on his first campaign pledge – he delivered a “Clean Campaign Pledge” to the Hazleton campaign office of his opponent, U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, for his signature. Stilp then got on his pink pig bus and headed to Sunbury. “We’re thanking voters and meeting with people,” Stilp said. “We have a long road

ahead and a lot of campaigning to do.” Lance Stange, Barletta’s campaign manStilp ager, accepted the pledge and said Barletta, 56, will review it when he returns from Washington. “I signed it,” Stilp said. “I asked that it be given to the congressman for him to sign. I think this is a good first step for

There are plenty of reasons why U.S. Rep. Tim Holden lost his bid to earn an 11th term in Congress. The anti-establishment sentiment of voters, hundreds of thousands of dollars spent by outside committees attacking his voting record, and a poorly run campaign that rested on Holden Holden’s record and seniority rather than concentrating on getting his message out to voters in new parts of his congressional district all were cited by political pundits the day after Moosic attorney Matt Cartwright pulled off an upset victory in the Democratic primary. But one political consultant with years of campaign experience says Holden could have run a flawless campaign and still lost See HOLDEN, Page 12A

During his victory speech Tuesday night, 17th Congressional District Democratic primary winner Matt Cartwright pointedly remarked that he received money from “750 individual donors, not a bunch of PAC checks, not a bunch of corporate checks.” But his campaign’s victory over 20-year incumbent U.S. Rep. Tim Holden was aided at least indirectly by a handful of outside organizations, including some that Cartwright spent hundreds of thousands of dollars running ads aimed at defeating Holden. Holden made reference to those campaigns and the role he believed they had in the outcome during his concessions speech inside the St. Clair Fish and Boat Club. “You had these Super PACs dumping $700,000, $800,000 against my candidacy.

Stabbing gets West Hazleton man 15 to 30 months in state prison By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A West Hazleton man charged with stabbing another man during an argument in February 2011 was sentenced Wednesday to 15 to 30 months in state prison. Luzerne County Senior Judge Hugh Mundy sentenced Kyle Edward Setley, 23, last known address Jackson Avenue, on charges of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment of another person. Setley, who pleaded guilty to the charges in March, received credit for nine months served. He was represented by attorney Ed Olexa. Assistant District Attorney Albert Yacoub prosecuted the case. Mundy said Setley must pay $9,980 to the Victim’s Compensation Fund, attend anger management classes and have no contact with the victim. According to court papers, on Feb. 13, 2011, police were called to Hazleton General Hospital for the report of an assault victim. When police arrived, they spoke with Ian Oberrender, who told them he was at a party and became involved in an altercation with a man he identified as Ryan Gontz. During the altercation, Oberrender said, another man, identified as Kyle Setley, showed a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen. Oberrender said he pulled up his shirt and saw a large amount of blood and immediately passed out, court papers say. Friends took Oberrender to the hospital for treatment. An emergency room doctor told police the wound appeared life-threatening. Setley was arraigned on April 18 on nine charges re-

lating to a February 2012 incident in which, police say, he assaulted his mother and then two police officers. Setley pleaded not guilty to two counts each of harassment, resisting arrest and aggravated assault and three counts of simple assault. He is currently awaiting trial on those charges. In that case, police say, Jean Marie Setley told police he threatened her, and then at-

tacked her, punching her in the jaw. When police arrived at the residence, Kyle Setley denied attacking his mother, and when police tried to handcuff him, he punched two police officers, according to arrest papers. Police said they had to use “substantial force” to handcuff Kyle Setley, who then allegedly began kicking the rear window of a police cruiser.

Emanski’s probation ends A federal judge has granted local businessman Richard Emanski’s request for early release from federal probation so that he Emanski can expand a new business. Emanski, owner of King Glass and Paint in Swoyersville, pleaded guilty in 2010 to supplying free carpeting to a Wilkes-Barre Area school director who helped Emanski obtain contracts with the district. Emanski was sentenced in June 2010 to five months in prison, followed by two years of federal probation. His attorney, Carl Poveromo, filed a motion in March asking that the probation sentence be suspended so that Emanski could expand another business, R&J Enterprises, which hauls water for the natural gas drilling industry. Poveromo said the probation was interfering with the business because it inhibited his ability to travel to other states to seek to expand the business. The motion was approved Tuesday by Thomas Vanaskie, a judge with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, who was specially appointed to preside over the motion.

Residents move from searched home Wilkes-Barre house gone over twice in wake of fatal shooting of teen.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – People removing furniture and other household items from a house closely linked to a teen’s shooting death raised suspicions in the neighborhood on Wednesday. Three men, a woman and two children, carried out dressers, mirrors, clothing and mattresses from 117 Hill St. and loaded the items in a small box truck. They opened the cargo door at 11:15 a.m. and closed it just before 12:30 p.m. A man helping to load the truck said he was helping people who lived there relocate. Tyler Winstead, 14, was found critically injured in front of the house with a gunshot wound to his chest on April 5.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

Residents at 117 Hill St. move belongings into a rented truck Wednesday.

He was said to be walking home from the Catholic Youth Center on South Washington Street with Elijah Yusiff, who lived at the house with his mother, Angelina DeAbreu. At least one person from the neighborhood said she saw DeAbreu removing items from the house. “I saw the daughter and Elijah’s mother wearing sunglasses,” said Roberta

Smith. “They were moving furniture. The dad was in the house moving furniture to the door. He didn’t come outside.” Investigators searched 117 Hill St. at least twice on April 10 and April 13. A bottle of bleach and a computer tower were carried from the house by investigators on April 13. Two more search warrants in the case were approved by Luzerne County President Judge Thomas Burke on Tuesday. Search warrant affidavits were sealed. Police also were unaware the family was moving until told by The Times Leader on Wednesday. Yusiff told reporters the night Tyler was shot that he heard a gunshot and saw a man driving away in a red vehicle. While investigators have not said if a red vehicle was in fact involved, those in the neighborhood have their own theory. “Deep in my mind, I know what happened,” Glenn Thomas said. Thomas

According to the filing, the Lupases obtained the mortgage in December 2007 for $265,000, and payments have been in default since December 2011. The bank says the Lupases owe a total $266,984.

Prison will test boilers The State Correctional Institution at Dallas will conduct tests of its steam boilers between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. beginning Friday and running through through Thursday, May 3. “The testing involves venting steam through the roof of the boiler plant at 100 percent capacity, which will create more noise than usual,” Superintendent Jerome Walsh said. “We want to prepare the community for the noise that may be heard and to assure them that there are no problems or incidents occurring at the prison,” he said.

People weren’t allowed to wear shoes in that house and his body was lying in the street, his shoes were lying on the curb,” Thomas said. No charges have been filed in the deadly shooting that has left the neighborhood concerned. “There is a lot of fear in our children and a lot of concern in adults,” Orlanda Carter of South Welles Street said. Willie Golden said he was startled to learn people were removing items from 117 Hill St. “Total surprise that they are moving out or whatever they are doing,” he said. Golden said his wife and grandchildren (Tyler’s three brothers and two sisters) are doing well under the circumstances.

DA: No crime related to jail baby’s death By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis has determined no county prison workers committed any crimes relating to the birth of twins, one of whom later died, at the prison in January. In a report issued Tuesday, Salavantis said an investigation by two county detectives determined that prison staff followed all necessary procedures to ensure the safety of the mother, Samantha Gonzalez, and the newborns. Luzerne County officials had asked Salavantis to investigate the baby’s death to ensure there was no wrongdoing. “The investigation conducted by my office revealed that the babies were born extremely prematurely, resulting in multiple complications,” Salavantis said in press release.

“The cause of the (one) baby’s death was extreme prematurity along with respiratory distress and cardio-respiratory failure, not any criminal activity.”

Stefanie Salavantis Luzerne County District Attorney

“The cause of the (one) baby’s death was extreme prematurity along with respiratory distress and cardio-respiratory failure, not any criminal activity.” According to Salavantis, Gonzalez was taken to the prison on Jan. 26 based on a warrant for failing to appear in Schuylkill County Court. Gonzalez was taken to her cell and told a cellmate at around 3 or 4 a.m. that

she did not feel well, but did not notify prison officials or seek medical attention. At around 8:30 a.m. Gonzalez was taken to the prison infirmary after complaining of stomach cramps and vomiting. Gonzalez appeared to be normal as she was returned to her cell. At 9:15 a.m. a prison guard advised the infirmary of an emergency in Gonzalez’s cell. A nurse arrived and found Gonzalez to be in labor and immediately contacted 911. The nurse then delivered the two babies. The prison physician was present, and an ambulance arrived a short time later. Gonzalez and the newborns, both of whom were breathing, were transported to an area hospital. The babies were both admitted, but one suffered complications and died. The other baby survived.

Jackson Township taxpayer Ed Chesnovitch told Luzerne County Council on Tuesday he saw a county detective driving a county-owned vehicle with his wife inside, even though take-home vehicles must be used solely for county business. Similar complaints alleging employee misconduct have surfaced at county meetings over the last decade, but citizens have no clear-cut means to force investigations and resolution. That will change in 30 days, with implementation of the new county ethics code adopted Tuesday. The code requires employees and officials in county government and its ONLINE outside boards and The approved authorities to re- ethics code will be frain from specific posted on the prohibited activity, council section of including bans on: the county website at www.luzerne• Gifts, loans and county.org. rewards from people or businesses regulated by the county or with existing or potential county financial relationships. • The full-time hiring of family members of a county official or officer. • Misuse of county equipment, vehicles, materials and other resources. • Disclosure of confidential information obtained through official duties for personal benefit. • Providing special county services or privileges not available to everyone. A five-person ethics commission must address all complaints and impose punishment for violations. The county manager, district attorney, controller and two citizens serve on the commission. Complaints may be filed starting May 24 using a form that will be finalized by the commission. Alleged infractions before that date aren’t covered by the code, officials said. See ETHICS, Page 9A

Ex-Monroe County judge to stay on probation in molestation case By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A former Monroe County judge facing the tail end of a 10-year probationary sentence handed down in a Luzerne County case in which prosecutors say he molested his young daughter in 2004 was denied a request Wednesday to have his probation terminated early. Senior Luzerne County Judge Joseph Augello said he would not terminate the probation of Mark Pazuhanich, 55, of East Stroudsburg, until Decem-

ber 2012 but did modify the terms by allowing Pazuhanich to have contact with his daughter, who Pazuhanich is now 18. COURTESY OF THE POCONO RECORD “An ability to have contact with his daughter would be a plus,” Pazuhanich’s attorney, Frank Nocito said. “It’s a good step (toward recovery), and there is little danger of reoffending.” Pazuhanich was charged in

November 2003 with fondling his daughter at a Hilary Duff concert at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. He pleaded no contest to indecent assault, public drunkenness, endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors in July 2004, and was sentenced shortly thereafter by Augello to 10 years probation. A no-contest plea means a defendant does not challenge the evidence prosecutors have brought against them. As the sitting Monroe County

district attorney, Pazuhanich was elected in November 2003 to fill a 10-year Monroe County family court judgeship, created because of an overload of family court cases. Pazuhanich is a native of Wilkes-Barre and a 1978 graduate of King’s College. As a newly elected judge in 2004, he never heard a case. His duties at first were limited to administrative work and he was placed on administrative leave in February 2004. In October 2004, Pazuhanich was banned from serving as a

judge for life, and then disbarred as an attorney in November 2006. Assistant District Attorney Jim McMonagle said he objected to the termination of probation but said because Pazuhanich’s daughter was agreeable to reconnecting with her father, he had no objection to allowing that. Nocito said Wednesday his client has had no infractions during his probation, has attended counseling and rehabilitation, and is up-to-date with any court-related bills.

WILKES-BARRE TWP. -- The McCann School of Business and Technology boasts the slogan “Changing futures, changing lives.” Through an anti-drinking and texting while driving program offered Wednesday, educators at McCann hope to not only change lives, but perhaps save them as well. Receiving hands-on demonstrations on avoiding distractions while driving, more than 100 students from area schools attended the “2012 Arrive Alive Tour” on McCann’s Wilkes-Barre Township campus. “We specialize in tying ourselves to the community and to community issues,” said McCann Campus Director, T.J.

As cellphones have become more prevalent in daily lives, so have cellphone-related accidents. In a report published in 2010, the National Safety Council estimated that at least 28 percent of all traffic crashes – or at least 1.6 million crashes each year – involve drivers using cellphones and texting. Moreover, the same report indicates that teenagers text more than any other age group. Coupled with their general inexperience behind the wheel, safety education for teen drivers is an ever-growing need. Having run similar programs in the past, officials at McCann recognized the call for awareness. “We try to support the community by helping it,” Eltringham said. “This is one way we feel we can really make a difference,” he said.

schools across the nation. UNITE’s Arrive Alive program features a driving simulator to allow students, in a controlled environment, to experience the potential consequences of distraction behind the wheel. “More and more accidents are happening to teenagers due to texting and drunk driving,” said Nationwide Insurance Principal Agent Abe Hobson. Hobson and Nationwide donated the food and beverages served during Wednesday’s event, which also featured demonstrations from the WilkesBarre Township Police Department. In addition to attending the Arrive Alive program, students also had the opportunity to tour the campus, meet program directors and receive the hands-on training experience of what it’s like to be a student at McCann.

Romney’s needs: cash, reconciliation

Royal visit to restored Cutty Sark

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip stand with a collection of Merchant Navy figureheads Wednesday during a visit to the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, London. The ship, built in 1869, was badly damaged by fire in May 2007. It underwent a $80.6 million restoration. The vessel is restored and will reopen to the public today.

WASHINGTON — The Republican presidential nomination all but in hand, Mitt Romney is refocusing his efforts on challenging President Barack Obama, raising cash for the battle ahead and reconciling with one-time primary rival Rick Santorum. “Tonight is the start of a new campaign,” the former Massachusetts governor said Tuesday night as he celebrated a sweep of five primaries. The contests were the first since Santorum conceded the race, and the former Pennsylvania senator said he intended to

Romney

sit down with Romney’s representatives Wednesday and Romney himself in the next week or two. Newt Gingrich, one of two other Republicans still in the race, on Wednesday agreed

with Santorum. Appearing in North Carolina, Gingrich said he, too, expects Romney will be the nominee and called on the party to unite behind the former Massachusetts governor. Gingrich said he is campaigning as a “citizen” but did not explain. While Santorum’s specific timeline was unclear, Romney was to intensify fundraising efforts Wednesday and today to prepare for what may be the most

expensive presidential contest in the history of American politics. He faces a 10to-1 cash disadvantage in a general election matchup against the Democratic president. The presumptive Republican nominee has at least six closed-door fundraisers in two days in New York and New Jersey. In Iowa City, Iowa, on Wednesday, President Obama looked every bit the campaigner as he told supporters that “Iowa always feels like home to me.” With a focus on student loans, he rallied young people during his third visit to a university campus in two days and said keeping college affordable “is at the heart of who we are.” Obama’s election-season speech at the University of Iowa mirrored his address-

es Tuesday in North Carolina and Colorado, and was part of the campaign appeal to young voters, an important constituency that the Democratic incumbent and Republican rival Mitt Romney are trying to win over. The issue of student debt goes right to the heart of economic anxiety affecting many families and a new generation of voters as the campaign season takes hold. Obama, who was born in Hawaii and hails from Illinois, made his comment about the at-home feeling of Iowa to hundreds of people crammed into an overflow room before his speech. Largely an afterthought in the Republican contest, Gingrich vowed to continue campaigning in North Carolina this week.

The statement reflects mounting international frustration with daily attacks that have kept a cease-fire between troops loyal to President Bashar Assad and armed rebels seeking to oust him from taking hold. Activists said government troops killed at least 29 civilians Wednesday, including 12 killed in shelling in the central city of Hama. Rebels attacked elsewhere, killing at least four security personnel. French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said France had discussed invoking Chapter 7 of the U.N.

House backs GSA limits Outraged by lavish government conferences on the taxpayers’ tab, the House has backed a measure to impose tough limits on future events and how much agencies can spend. The provision was added to the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act. The bill would create a onestop, independent website that average Americans could search for information on federal spending. The House passed the bill by voice vote Wednesday. The bill would limit the number of conferences held annually and the amount of money a government agency could spend on the event — no more than $500,000. ISLAMABAD

The Hatf IV Shaheen-1A missile was fired into the sea, the military said in a written statement. It was described as an intermediaterange missile having a longer range than its predecessor, the Shaheen-1, which is believed to fly up to 465 miles. Intermediate-range ballistic missiles have a range of 1,865 to 3,110 miles, according to GlobalSecurity.org. WASHINGTON

More questions on scandal Conflicting portraits of the Secret Service and new questions about the military’s role in an embarrassing prostitution scandal in Colombia emerged Wednesday. Senators on Capitol Hill challenged Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to reconcile the image of agents who protect the lives of the president with the dozen officers and supervisors implicated in the sordid affair. Meanwhile, the Defense Department acknowledged it knew that six military personnel had broken curfew rules before President Barack Obama’s arrival at a Latin American summit but let them remain on the job. In addition to the Secret Service officers and supervisors, another dozen military personnel also were implicated in the prostitution scandal.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer speaks to reporters Wednesday outside the Supreme Court in Washington after the court held a hearing on Arizona’s ‘show me your papers’ immigration law.

Arizona’s case looking good

By MARK SHERMAN Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Bucking the Obama administration, Supreme Court justices seemed to find little trouble Wednesday with major parts of Arizona’s tough immigration law that require police to check the legal status of people they stop for other reasons. But the fate of other provisions that make Arizona state crimes out of immigration violations was unclear in the court’s final argument of the term. The latest clash between states and the administration turns on the extent of individual states’ roles in dealing with the nation’s 11 million illegal immigrants. Civil rights groups say the Arizona law and those in some other states encourage racial profiling and ethnic stereotyping, and debate over such laws could have an impact on this fall’s elections. More than

200 protesters gathered outside the court, most of them opposed to the Arizona law. However, in an unusual comment, Chief Justice John Roberts made clear at the outset of the administration’s argument Wednesday that the court was looking only at state-versus-federal power, not the civil rights concerns that already are the subject of other lawsuits. Liberal and conservative justices reacted skeptically to the administration’s argument the state exceeded its authority when it made the records check, and another provision allowing suspected illegal immigrants to be arrested without warrants, part of the Arizona law aimed at driving illegal immigrants elsewhere. “You can see it’s not selling very well,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor told Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr. Verrilli said the records check would al-

low the state to “engage effectively in mass incarceration” of immigrants lacking documentation. He said the law embodying Arizona’s approach of maximum enforcement conflicts with a policy that seeks to balance national security, law enforcement, foreign policy, human rights and the rights of law-abiding citizens and immigrants. But Roberts was among those on the court who took issue with Verrilli’s characterization of the check of immigration status, saying the state merely wants to notify federal authorities it has someone in custody who may be in the U.S. illegally. Verrilli did not mention Wednesday that the administration has deported nearly 400,000 people a year, far more than previous administrations, although the information was included in written submissions to the court.

Parents wire kids to prove teachers’ verbal abuse The Associated Press

CHERRY HILL, N.J. — Teachers hurled insults like “bastard,” “tard,” “damn dumb” and “a hippo in a ballerina suit.” A bus driver threatened to slap one child, while a bus monitor told another, “Shut up, you little dog.” They were all special needs students, and their parents all learned about the verbal abuse the same way — by planting audio recorders on them before sending them off to school. In cases around the country, suspicious parents have been taking advantage of conve-

nient, inexpensive technology to tell them what children, because of their disabilities, are not able to express on their own. It’s a practice that can help expose abuses, but it comes with some dangers. This week, a father in Cherry Hill, N.J., posted on YouTube clips of secretly recorded audio that caught one adult calling his autistic 10-year-old son “a bastard.” In less than three days, video got 1.2 million views, raising the prominence of the small movement. There have been at least nine similar cases across the U.S. since 2003. “If a parent has any reason

at all to suggest a child is being abused or misused, I strongly recommend that they do the same thing,” said Wendy Fournier, president of the National Autism Association. But George Giuliani, executive director of the National Association of Special Education Teachers and director of special education at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., says that while the documented mistreatment of children has been disturbing, secret recordings are a bad idea. They could, he said, violate the privacy rights of other children.

Laws on audio recordings vary by state, but in most of the U.S., including New Jersey, recordings can generally be made legally if one party gives consent. Over the past decade, courts in New York and Wisconsin have ruled that recordings made secretly on school buses were legal, finding that there is a diminished expectation of privacy for drivers on the bus. The recordings have led to firings in several states, criminal convictions of bus employees in Wisconsin and New York, and some legal settlements.

ALLENTOWN — The state office that regulates Pennsylvania’s dog-breeding industry is running out of money, has been slow to enforce new regulations meant to improve the lives of tens of thousands of kennel dogs, and faces charges that it’s once again going easy on operators of so-called “puppy mills.” Members of the state-sanctioned Dog Law Advisory Board say the problems threaten to undo years of hard-won progress in the fight against substandard breeders who mistreat their dogs — and recall a time in the not-so-distant past when Pennsylvania was known as the puppy mill capital of the East. “I see no leadership. I’m seeing nothing that shows me there is any concern about the welfare of animals,” said advisory board member Tom Hickey Sr. “Pennsylvanians care about dogs, and when they hear what’s going on, there will be an uprising about this.” The panel intends to grill Agriculture Department officials when it meets Wednesday for the first time since Gov. Tom Corbett took office in January 2011. An Associated Press review of documents, as well as interviews with dog-law experts, highlight why critics are concerned that Pennsylvania is putting enforcement on the back burner. The Dog Law Enforcement Office didn’t revoke or suspend a single license in 2011, records show, while most commercial kennels received only one inspection last year, not the two required by law. The office is only now beginning to enforce regulations that impose strict new standards for ventilation, humidity, lighting, flooring and ammonia levels, despite the fact they took effect July 1. And the new director of the Dog Law Enforcement Office — a onetime banker with scant experience in dog law or animal welfare — has told wardens to give slack to kennel operators, according to a former employee. Agriculture Department spokeswoman Samantha Krepps denied there’s been any change in policy and said the agency remains committed to kennel oversight.

Plymouth man guilty of sex crimes

THE TIMES LEADER

Hazleton’s MinSec on the spot A former resident of the controversial facility is charged with bank robbery.

Times Leader staff

WILKES-BARRE – A Plymouth man charged with sexually assaulting two girls was convicted Wednesday of all counts relating to the case. Robert Caravella, 53, of Gould Street, was convicted of four counts of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, three counts of aggravated indecent assault of a child, three counts of contact with a minor, sexual offenses, and two counts each of corruption of minors and endangering the welfare of children. County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley said Caravella will be sentenced on July 19. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on nine of the charges that are felonies of the first degree. A jury of four women and eight men was chosen Monday, and deliberated Wednesday for about two and a half hours before delivering their verdict. Polachek Gartley said Caravella will be evaluated by the Sexual Offenders Assessment Board and was remanded to the county prison. 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. Caravella’s attorney, Andrew Katsock III, told jurors there are “two sides to every story.” Caravella has maintained his innocence since he was arrested by police in March 2011. He claimed the girls never told their mother. 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.

HAZLE TWP. – A man charged Tuesday with robbing two banks served a state prison sentence on bigamy and burglary offenses before being paroled to a controversial community corrections facility in Hazleton. State police at Hazleton arrested Shawn Luther Kelley, 33, last known address as East Chestnut Street, Hazleton, shortly after he allegedly robbed a branch of Citizens Bank on Broad Street in West Hazleton. He was identified as the alleged bandit wearing surgical gloves and a surgical mask who robbed the branch of PNC Bank on Sus-

quehanna Boulevard, Hazle Township, on April 16. Court records in Northumberland County say KelKelley ley pleaded guilty to separate charges of bigamy (being married to more than one woman at the same time), burglary and theft in September 2007. He was sentenced to one year, six months to three years in state prison. Records from the state Department of Corrections say Kelley was paroled on Feb. 22, 2010, to MinSec, a private community correctional facility in downtown Hazleton. He was released from parole on June 22, 2010, records say. MinSec has been criticized by Hazleton and state officials due to

several violent crimes committed by current or former facility residents. According to the criminal complaints: State police allege Kelley concealed his face with a surgical mask and a bandage and wore surgical gloves when he walked into PNC Bank and passed a note to a teller stating he had a gun on April 16. He fled the bank and drove away. At the same time state police identified Kelley as the alleged robber, he allegedly held up Citizens Bank telling a teller he had a gun. State police learned Kelley was in the area of 22nd and Vine streets where he was arrested, the criminal complaints say. He was arraigned on robbery and theft charges and jailed at the county prison for lack of $500,000 bail.

Burglary charge heads for county court By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An attorney vigorously argued before a preliminary hearing Wednesday that a burglary charge against his client, Timothy Jasnoski, should be dismissed. City police charged Jasnoski, 34, with breaking into an unoccupied house on Gardner Avenue and trying to steal copper pipes in the basement on March 20. Jasnoski’s lawyer, Anthony Moses, argued the burglary charge, a felony, should be dismissed because the house was unoccupied. Under the state’s crimes code for burglary, Moses said, the structure must be occupied for the burglary charge to be valid. Moses stated the crimes code allows a defense for burglary where the building or structure was abandoned. Officer James Touey said the house was recently sold and undergoing renovations. District Judge Andrew Barilla determined Assistant District Attorney Mamie Phillips established a case, sending charges of burglary, criminal trespass, criminal attempt to commit burglary and criminal mischief to Luzerne County Court. Touey testified he was dispatched to a break-in on Gardner Avenue and found an idling Jeep

with a woman inside the parked vehicle. He noticed a door to the Gardner Avenue house appeared to be Jasnoski kicked in. Officer Stanley Wychock and his police dog searched the house and found Jasnoski trying to crawl out a basement window, Touey testified. Moses questioned Touey if he

knew the house was abandoned. Touey replied he learned after the burglary charge was filed that the house had been recently sold to a man in Allentown. Touey said it appeared the house was undergoing renovations. In an unrelated case, charges of burglary, theft and receiving stolen property were dismissed against Jasnoski after police accused him of breaking into a house on East Chestnut Street and stealing jewelry that was sold at a pawn shop on Feb. 24.

granted Falvello’s request to have the charges withdrawn.

WILKES-BARRE – Prosecutors have withdrawn charges against a West Hazleton man in a case where they say he had a sexual relations with a teen over a several-year period, citing the man is facing charges related to the same case in another county. Deputy District Attorney Alexis Falvello said in court papers filed Wednesday that charges of endangering the welfare of children and corruption of minors were being withdrawn because Edward P. Gruenemeier, 36, is facing a trial on similar charges relating to the case in Carbon County court. That trial on six charges relating to the case, including aggravated indecent assault, statutory sexual assault and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, is scheduled to begin on May 7, according to court papers. According to court papers, the woman told police Gruenemeier began having sexual intercourse with her when she was 13 years old in 2002. The woman told police in April 2011 that Gruenemeier first began inappropriately touching her, and that the abuse progressed into regular sexual intercourse between the two when the woman moved to Lebanon, Pa., and then to Hazle Township. The woman said she became pregnant with Gruenemeier’s child in December 2006 and then with his second child in August 2008. Judge Joseph Sklarosky, Jr.,

WILKES-BARRE – A man charged with shooting two people more than two years ago waived his right to a preliminary hearing in WilkesBarre Central Court on Wednesday. Jquan Humphrey, 19, no known address, waived four counts of aggravated assault to Luzerne County Court. Police withdrew five counts of reckless endangerment, and one count each of firearms not to be carried without a license and discharge a firearm into an occupied structure against Humphrey. Police allege Humphrey, when he was 17-years-old, shot Camille Mayhems and Tory Medley at 45 Hutson St. on Aug. 22, 2009, according to the criminal complaint. Mayhems was shot in her foot and Medley suffered a gunshot injury to his arm and chest, police said. Mayhems and Medley survived their injuries. Police learned there was a confrontation involving juveniles near Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and Hazle Avenue, and a second fight in the area of Hutson and Metcalf streets. When the second fight ended, two people chased Humphrey, also known as J-Money. Humphrey ran away and yelled he was going to get a gun and come back to "shoot y’all (expletive)," the criminal complaint says. Police said in the criminal complaint Humphrey arrived at the Hutson Street house with a firearm.

Bloss also lauded Lori Bennett from the Tunkhannock Area School District for her work on the scholarship committee. Bennett said Dominque Peters would be the recipient of the Stoddart Scholarship presented by that committee. Bloss also said Dallas, Greater Nanticoke Area, Hazleton Area, Wilkes-Barre Area, Wyoming Area and Wyoming Valley West school districts had approved the LIU general operating budget, with Crestwood being the only district voting down the budget.

TL captures 5 state awards Taxpayers to press Parking Authority By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – The Times Leader’s coverage of the September flooding of the Susquehanna River was among the five awards the newspaper received in the Pennsylvania Associated Press Managing Editors annual writing and photo contests. Competing against newspapers with a circulation between 30,001 and 75,000, The Times Leader captured three individual and two staff awards. The entries were judged by editors at AP member newspapers in North Carolina. “The PAPME contest is always very competitive, and we’re proud of winning awards in several significant categories,” said Joe Butkiewicz, vice president and executive editor of Impressions Media, parent company of The Times Leader. “A first place award for gen-

eral news coverage of the flooding in September 2011 is a credit to every newsroom staff member, who pulled together under very difficult circumstances to create superior print editions while keeping our websites updated with news around the clock. And it’s no surprise photographers Aimee Dilger, Don Carey and Pete Wilcox were recognized for their terrific photos from the flooding.” The paper earned a first place for General News Reporting for its “Move over Agnes” coverage of the flooding. Dilger, Carey and Wilcox earned a second place in the Photo Story category for “Time for shock and tears.” Mark Jones took a first place award in the Editorial category for, “Empty promise: A state gas tax.” “Editorial Page Editor Mark Jones has been an advocate for higher standards for people, agencies and officials

throughout the community; recognition for his editorials is deserved,” said Butkiewicz. Terrie Morgan-Besecker won a first place in the category of Enterprise Reporting for “The enemy within: Suit targets care at VA.” “The Times Leader is committed to enterprise reporting, be it investigative or telling the stories of people in the community. Terrie does this level of work year-round,” said Butkiewicz. Derek Levarse took second place in the Sports Deadline Reporting category for “The healing begins.” “Derek was aggressive but fair in his reporting from State College in the wake of the scandal at Penn State,” said Butkiewicz. “We’re proud of the recognition for our staff and the news organization, but the real reward is always serving our readers with reporting that is fair and writing and presentation that is superior,” he said.

New gas line heating manufacturer, McAdoo By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

MCADOO – A new five-mile distribution line is bringing natural gas to manufacturer Altadis USA in the McAdoo Industrial Park, and offering the surrounding community access to a resource that was previously unavailable. On Wednesday, officials from Altadis and UGI Utilities Inc. celebrated the opening of the line in Schuylkill County that was funded entirely by private-sector investment. The project has the happy side-effects of making natural gas service available to McAdoo residents and connecting the Hazleton gas distribution network to a second feeder line, improving the reliability of that network.

AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Don Brominski of UGI holds a section of 12-inch pipe of the sort used in the newly installed distribution line.

“It encompasses so many positive aspects of being a natural gas utility,” UGI spokesman Don Brominski said. Altadis General Manager Skip Calviero said the company wanted to switch its heat source from fuel oil in order to take advantage of comparatively cheap natural

gas, which he marked as a product of Marcellus Shale gas drilling. Wellhead prices for natural gas have dropped from more than $4 per million British thermal units in 2010 to around $2 today, in part due to the availability of domestic natural gas. Altadis, a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.K.-based Imperial Tobacco Group, makes a number of products – including cigar wrappers and vegetable-based lunchmeat film wraps – that require the drying of a slurry to a sheet, and that drying process requires a large amount of heat. “We expect to save in excess of a million dollars a year in fuel costs,” Calviero said. “It just keeps us competitive. Some of our competitors have natural gas available, so it helps us keep a competitive edge as well as im-

prove our emissions.” In his remarks at the opening ceremony, state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, called the project “a very unique story.” “We’re not here with a check from the government,” Yudichak said. “It’s also an important success story because we’re talking about taking homegrown Pennsylvania energy, that Marcellus Shale play, and creating homegrown Pennsylvania jobs,” he added. The 12-inch pipeline crosses three counties along its five-mile run from the Humboldt Industrial Park in Hazleton to the Altadis plant on Trescksow Road in McAdoo. UGI has plans to extend the line to supply other businesses in the McAdoo Industrial Park.

ETHICS Continued from Page 3A

Council members, who are barred from interfering with dayto-day operations by the code, already have been heeding the gift restriction. For example, a county transportation authority official recently gave temporary bus passes to council members at their meeting to encourage them to try the bus system. Several council members gave their passes to a Ruth’s Place homeless shelter representative in the audience. Council Chairman Jim Bobeck also reminded his colleagues of the ban, which he described as the “no free lunch” provision, when tax collectors invited council to a dinner last month. Council members should pay their own way if they wanted to attend, he said. According to the code: The county manager will designate someone to receive complaints. The designee must datestamp complaints, acknowledge receipt in writing, forward them to the commission and notify the accused. Filers must provide their name, address, phone number and signature, and identify the alleged violator and code infractions. If a complaint meets basic requirements, the commission must start a preliminary inquiry within 30 days. The inquiry must be terminated or opened as a full investigation within 45 days. Investigations should wrap up within 60 days unless the commission requests up to 60 more days. The commission has the power to conduct interviews and issue subpoenas. When evidence leans toward a possible violation, the commission must issue a findings report and allow the accused an opportunity to respond and admit or deny the allegations. The investigation subject may request a hearing. The commission recommends penalties when it concludes a violation has occurred, ranging from reprimand letters to fines. Employees may be suspended or dismissed. Violations of federal or state law must be turned over to the proper authorities for criminal prosecution.

OTHER OPINION: SCHOOL CRISIS

Greedy legislators share the blame

H, SELECTIVE memory. A recent guest on a Philadelphia talk radio program, Gov. Tom Corbett told a caller concerned about rising school taxes he was barking up the wrong tree. It’s not the state government the caller should be talking to – it’s the local school boards, who offer sweet teacher contracts, excessively small class sizes and basically poor management. The governor even had the gall to mention the generous pensions teachers receive. Corbett urged taxpayers to basically go raise hell with their local school boards. “I think the taxpayers need to help themselves,” he said. Speaking of helping themselves ... Let’s flash back to the state Legislature in the spring of 2001. Lawmakers badly wanted a 50 percent pension increase of their own, which would allow career politicians to retire at almost full pay. They added the teachers and state workers to grease the EDITORIAL BOARD

wheels, so to speak, giving them a 25 percent increase in pension benefits. A deal was reportedly worked out with former Gov. Tom Ridge: He wouldn’t veto the bill if the lawmakers gave him the budget he wanted. Everybody won. Except taxpayers. On the radio program, Corbett complained teacher pension costs will rise from $1.6 billion to more than $4 billion in the next four years. He neglected to fully explain why. School boards – which, along with the state, are required to contribute to the teachers’ pension fund – didn’t negotiate this increase; they didn’t ask for it or even want it. It was mandated on them. By the state Legislature. There are plenty of reasons property taxes are so high and rising, and school boards share some of the blame. But most people clearly remember one of the biggest, even if the governor chooses to forget. The York Dispatch

LCCC doing its job to meet needs of the community APRIL IS Community College Month, a time when community colleges across the country celebrate their successes. Luzerne County Community College serves about 7,000 students each year, and there are many success stories to highlight. One in particular is the Employment Retraining Opportunities program. Regional unemployment persists at a high level of nearly 9.9 percent, according to recent labor statistics. As a result, many people in our community remain without work. Some who lost their jobs due to the economic downturn over the past few years have not been able to find employment in their same line of work. Sometimes the jobs are scarce; other times they’ve been completely eliminated. This situation leaves the dislocated worker in need of the skills and knowledge necessary to find gainful employment in a new field. Even when there are jobs available, sometimes becoming unemployed is the incentive one needs to inspire a new career choice. Whatever the motivation, the next step is obtaining the skills and knowledge. When these dislocated workers come to Luzerne County Community College to obtain the education and training they need to venture out into their new careers, they are able to choose from more than 100 credit and credit-free training programs. If they’re

COMMENTARY THOMAS P. LEARY fortunate, they meet the standards for financial aid or, for veterans, assistance through military education benefits, and subsequently receive financial support to help pay for their education. Some, however, are not so lucky. Many individuals do not qualify for either financial aid or veterans benefits. Luzerne County Community College has implemented a program to serve dislocated workers and unemployed veterans returning to school to help them get started on their new career paths. Through the Employment Retraining Opportunities program, those who meet program criteria are eligible for up to 12 credits of free tuition for one semester. This program helps these students jumpstart their education and get on track to achieve their career goals. For example, a displaced worker enrolled at LCCC through the Employment Retraining Opportunities program to get the education she needed to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. She took education courses at LCCC, went on to enroll in the accelerated program for teaching credentials at King’s College and is now employed as a teacher in an area high school. Another student who received assistance through the

retraining program graduated from the nursing program in May 2011 and is working at an area hospital in the Commonwealth Health System as a floor nurse. These are only two examples of the 432 students Luzerne County Community College has served over the last four years through the Employment Retraining Opportunities program. And the number of success stories continues to grow. Three quarters of Employment Retraining Opportunities students enrolled in fall 2011 returned for the spring 2012 semester, and half of those enrolled in spring 2011 were still enrolled in spring 2012. The Employment Retraining Opportunities program is a perfect example of the type of flexibility community colleges have to respond to community need, an example of the type of achievement community colleges recognize during Community College Month. Like our sister colleges across the state, Luzerne County Community College represents the community college philosophy of ensuring access for all to higher education. We do so as we continue to meet our mission of providing excellence in education, fostering student success and positively impacting Luzerne County and the surrounding Northeastern Pennsylvania region. Thomas P. Leary is president of Nanticoke-based Luzerne County Community College. For information, visit www.luzerne.edu.

ince the last presidential election, several states, including Pennsylvania, have enacted laws requiring voters to show photo identification in order to vote. Every Democratic state lawmaker in Pennsylvania, along with three Republicans, voted against this law. Other states, including border states such as Texas, have enacted such laws. In these states, too, Democrats fight tooth and nail against it. Even the attorney general in Washington is trying to stop it. The excuses they use, such as it being a hardship for some people to get IDs, don’t add up. Pennsylvania voters can get free IDs at driver’s license centers. I am a registered Independent voter. I never have favored one party over the other, but some of the things I’ve seen lately coming from the Democrats sure have me wondering what’s going on. I would like to know how one party could be so against photo IDs. Even if there were some valid arguments against it, it would not affect one party more than the other. Donald Buckingham Mehoopany

Writer: Apartment living should include pets

can understand why landlords do not want pets in apartments due to damage. But with almost all the apartments I have been finding to rent, a good 99 percent will not allow pets. And if they do, they charge an astronomical price. People who do locate to a place where pets are not allowed then have to sell those animals or take them to the SPCA. Animal shelters are becoming overloaded with pets. This is not fair to people who are looking for a new apartment or home to rent.

DOONESBURY

They should not have to give up that pet. The pets are part of a family. If the landlords would realize that people need their pets with them – and realize that the astronomical prices are ridiculous – and work with the renters, then maybe landlords and renters finally can come to a happy medium.

want to be here. They would not have put in this much time and this much effort if they did not want to be here.” Stadium architect Craig Schmitt, stadium project construction manager Greg Butz, county financial adviser Michael Vind and county Chief Financial Officer Thomas Durkin also gave information about the sale and stadium reconstruction before the hearing was opened to the public. The largest share of the prepared statements was taken up by Schmitt, who gave a 37-minute description of the stadium revisions. When members of the public had their chance to ask questions, however, the biggest concern was in how strong the contract language was in terms of making the Yankees live up to their promises and not move the franchise out of the area in the future. Attorney John McGee, the original stadium authority solicitor and the man credited with leading the push to bring baseball to Northeastern Pennsylvania in the 1980s, said the county should have tried to take legal steps to void the Memorandum of Understanding from 2010. McGee said overnight is not long enough to digest the complex contracts that were made

because of simple geography. Ed Mitchell, a strategist who has worked on campaigns for former U.S. Rep. Paul E. Kanjorski and Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton among others, said the candidates’ place of residence was a key factor. Voters in the populous Scranton/Wilkes-Barre region had to choose between an out-of-town incumbent with seniority in Washington and the support of the party and a newcomer with a personal and professional connection to their communities. They chose the latter. “I think people didn’t want to lose their congressman,” Mitchell said, noting that for decades someone from Lackawanna or Luzerne counties had represented them, including Joseph McDade, Frank Harrison, Dan Flood, Kanjorski and Lou Barletta. Under redrawn congressional districts that placed WilkesBarre and Scranton into a district represented by Holden, of St. Clair, Schuylkill County, re-electing the incumbent would produce a sense of loss, Mitchell said. Cartwright’s 78 percent of the vote in Lackawanna County and 71 percent in Luzerne County support this theory, Mitchell said. Other observers agreed that parochialism may have played a part in Holden’s defeat by a 33,104 to 24,874 vote margin. But it was not the only reason, they said. Dave Sosar, a King’s College political science professor, believes Holden’s Blue Dog Democrat voting record and ideology were in line with voters in the district. But he thought Holden needed to be more visible in

public before the hearing. He asked authority members to review a Law Review article he provided titled "Non-Relocation Agreements in Major League Baseball: Comparison, Analysis and the Best Practice Clauses." “I urge you to read these documents and not act until they have been vetted,” McGee said. Attorney Gene Hickey of Moosic asked for assurances and clarifications the stadium would return to its original intent as a multipurpose facility and not just be for the Yankees’ use. County lawyers explained such provisions are included in the contract. After 16 members of the public asked questions and made comments for just minutes longer than the original presentation, stadium

authority member Joe DeAntona pledged his vote in approval of the sale. Stadium authority members and the Lackawanna County commissioners Patrick O’Malley, Jim Wansacz and Corey O’Brien added their comments just before the close of the more than three-hour hearing. “I believe the best days of baseball in Northeastern Pennsylvania are to come,” O’Brien said. McGee was the only speaker to refer to Luzerne County’s claims it is entitled to a portion of proceeds of the sale of the team. Litigation of a suit by Luzerne County and a countersuit by Lackawanna County are unresolved.

Wilkes-Barre assault probed

By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

SCRANTON – Lackawanna County officials released a new economic impact study that projects Triple-A baseball and a reconstructed stadium will infuse $9.4 million annually into the regional economy and have an estimated annual economic impact of $47 million. Triple-A baseball was estimated at a $6.6 million infusion and a $32.8 million impact annually before the stadium reconstruction. The reconstruction plan will receive the go-ahead if the Lackawanna County Multi-Purpose Stadium Authority votes, in an 8 a.m. meeting today, to approve the sale of the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees franchise to SWB Yankees LLC. Funds from the $14.6 million sale are needed for the funding of the $43 million reconstruction project. DRL Consulting & Development of Harrisburg created a four-page report titled “Triple-A Baseball: An Important Economic Engine for Northeastern Pennsylvania.” Lackawanna County Chief Financial Officer Thomas Durkin

presented highlights of the study at a public hearing Wednesday at the Scranton Cultural Center about the sale and stadium reconstruction. “We anticipate it will have a significant enhancement on the economic impact on Northeastern Pennsylvania,” he said. Durkin said a “multiplier of five” was used to determine economic impact. Under that concept, he said, “one person’s spending becomes someone else’s income and some of the second person’s income is spent, becoming a third person’s income, and so on.” The study showed the Triple-A franchise spends $3,094,000 on the purchase of local goods and services annually and is expected to spend $4,458,000 in the future.

can’t vote for Stilp because he lives outside the district, he will help as much as he can. “We do need a congressman who will work for the people, and currently we don’t have that,” he said. Vinsko said he will return to his law practice and intends to spend “a colossal amount of time” with his family. “Campaignsarewonandcampaignsarelost,” he said. “I’m happy for the experience, and you never know what the future holds.” Christopher Borick, political science professor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, said Stilp’s victory was “a bit of a surprise.” “It seems like (Vinsko’s) pull beyond Luzerne County was minimal,” Borick said. “With the really low turnout, it created a situation where it was possible for a strong grassroots campaign to succeed, thus advantaging Stilp.” Veteran political analyst Ed Mitchell said Vinsko “had a lackluster campaign and got bad advice from his handlers.”

hoped to offer rides for a fee. They’ve since learned, it’s not so easy. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, which regulates carnival rides and amusements in Pennsylvania, so far has not approved the original, trademarked ZORB adventure globes, which come from a New Zealand-based company, or any copycat brands, such as the one from China, said Nicole Bucher, deputy press secretary for the department. The department did approve a globe with a similar appearance, known as the OGO ball, which is

Gene Stilp hands a signed copy of his ‘Clean Campaign Pledge’ to Lou Barletta’s campaign manager Lance J Stange Jr. in Hazleton Wednesday.

He said Stilp has a tough road ahead in trying to unseat Barletta. “For Stilp to win, he has to raise in excess of a million dollars and use TV,” Mitchell said. Name recognition factor Tom Baldino, political science professor at Wilkes University, said Stilp’s victory can be attributed largely to his greater name rec-

in use at the Roundtop Resort in York County, Bucher said. “That was a process that took a year or more.” Roundtop “built a special course for the ball, to make sure it’s not going to just roll away,” Bucher said, alluding to one concern. Other aspects of potential danger, she said, include “germs inside the ball if it’s unsanitized, oxygen levels inside the ball and, for someone like me who’s claustrophobic, what’s the game plan to get them out if they start to panic.” There’s also a need for a certified engineer to determine if the plastic is lead free, Bucher said. Wendy Turcotte said she’s actively seeking such a person. But, already, Turcotte believes

ognition as a champion of good government or government reform, a recognition he earned over many years demonstrating against the waste and corruption in Harrisburg. “Despite spending a fraction of what Mr. Vinsko did, Mr. Stilp relied on the public’s awareness of his pink pig as the symbol of his accomplishments,” Baldino said. “It clearly worked well for him.” Baldino said Stilp was helped by running a clean campaign, free of the negative ads that marked many of the other campaigns this primary season. “Mr. Stilp would not have had the money to counterattack or to defend his reputation had Mr. Vinsko gone negative,” Baldino said. David Sosar, King’s College political science professor, was not surprised by Stilp’s victory. “Neither one spent a lot of money, but Stilp has a bit more name recognition because of his pink pig bus,” Sosar said. “Stilp has been visible around the state with his bus and taking on a lot of state issues with state legislators.”

the balls are safe. “I’d put my own mother in there, and she’s 65.” As a mother of two herself, Turcotte said, she appreciates the Department of Agriculture’s diligence – even as it frustrates her. “I do appreciate it. That means when my kids go to a bazaar or a carnival, I know the rides they might encounter there are safe.” Chris Turcotte is a hibachi chef at Katana restaurant in WilkesBarre, and Wendy Turcotte has been a server there. They envision the inflatable balls as a nice sideline business. “Our ultimate goal,” Wendy Turcotte said, “is to rent them out for family reunions, graduation parties and to businesses for team-building.” The idea is not an unfamiliar one in Luzerne County, where the

idea of people riding adventure globes down a chute is one of many proposed activities in a master plan for the county-owned Moon Lake Park in Plymouth Township. While the Turcottes can’t offer rides for a fee unless or until the state approves the inflatable balls, they will put up a display during the Cherry Blossom Festival at Kirby Park this weekend. “This happens from time to time, when somebody buys a ride without realizing they need approval,” Bucher said, sounding sympathetic. “It’s an awfully big investment to make.” If the balls receive approval, Wilkes-Barre special events coordinator Lore Majikes said the city would welcome them as an attraction.

Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, whether by holding town hall meetings, making more public appearances or participating in debates. He blamed the campaign management team for the loss. Jeff Brauer, a Keystone College political science professor who has worked on campaigns in New York State, said Holden’s campaign was “very poorly run for an incumbent.” “He did a terrible job introducing himself in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties,” Brauer said. “He thought the endorsements would do it for him.” Those endorsements, which totaled 60 and included mayors, local political committees, legislators and even former Gov. Ed Rendell, might have done more harm than good for Holden, Brauer contends. He said in a year in which antiincumbency sentiment among voters is still high, the endorsements made a case for what Cartwright argued: That Holden was the choice of power brokers, not the people. Holden continuously touted his position as the most senior member of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation and his seniority on two key House committees. But by talking about length of service and power, “you’re taking a great risk,” Brauer said. “That was a bad message in this type of environment,” Brauer said. Mitchell said that while it wasn’t the downfall of Kanjorski, who lost to Barletta two years ago, that mentality is entrenched in longtime incumbents. “Holden made the same fatal mistake that we couldn’t break Paul of. You can’t expect people were going to respond to the seniority thing like they did years ago,” Mitchell said. “It doesn’t mean as much to people today. These elections are more about the future than they are about the past.”

Patrice Bergeron had a chance to win it in the first minute of the extra period, but he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get off a solid shot from Holtbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right.

Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III is set to go to Washington with the second overall pick. The Redskins traded up for a chance to take the Heisman winner.

USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Kalil is considered to be the top offensive tackle prospect available and could be selected as high as third overall.

QBs set to go 1-2 in tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1st round By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

NFL DRAFT SCHEDULE

Tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first round of the NFL Draft has no intrigue at the top. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will be heading to Indianapolis with the first pick and Washington will select Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III with the second selection. The real suspense is where the third-rated quarterback, Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ryan Tannehill, is selected. Tannehill has the physical traits desired in a franchise quarterback. He also lacks experience at the position and has scary pockets of inconsistency in his game. So much so that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been projected anywhere from Cle-

veland with the fourth overall pick to dropping to the top of the second round. History doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help figure Tannehillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landing spot either. Back in 2005, Aaron Rodgers was a lock for the top 10, See DRAFT, Page 4B

Capitals stun defending champions with Game 7 overtime goal Joel Wardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early score in the extra period ends Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season. By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

BOSTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Joel Ward slammed home a rebound at 2:57 of overtime to give Washington a 2-1 victory over Boston on Wednesday night, sending the Capitals to the second round of the play-

offs and ending the defending Stanley Cup champion Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hopes of a repeat. Rookie Braden Holtby stopped 31 shots for Washington in Game 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the seventh one-goal game of the series. Matt Hendricks scored the Capitalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other goal. Tyler Seguin scored, and Tim Thomas made 26 saves for Boston. It was the first time in NHL history

that a playoff series had seven games determined by one goal. Four of the games went to overtime, and two others were decided with less than two minutes left in regulation. Hendricks scored midway through the first period, and Seguin tied it in the second. It stayed that way through a scoreless third, with Washington killing off a penalty in the final 3 minutes to send the game into overtime.

This pitch from county officials hits the target

NFL DRAFT

As has been projected for the past year, Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck will be drafted with the No. 1 pick, replacing Peyton Manning under center in Indianapolis.

OPINION

ne pitch after another kept hitting the target with such precision and such frequency, area baseball fans couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be wowed. It became Lackawanna Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of a perfect game. The reconfigured agreement to sell this areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Triple-A baseball team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ideal. And a few Lackawanna County taxpayers took some good, hard swings, trying to knock the offerings from their county commissioners right out of the park. Even they had to marvel over a deal that promises to be a big catch. In an effort to seize opportunity, the Lackawanna County Commissioners will vote this morning to sell ownership rights of the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees to the New York Yankees and their minor league business partner Mandalay â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a joint venture named Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, Inc., for $14.6 million. That became clear through their tone Wednesday during a joint public hearing of the Lackawanna County commissioners and the Lackawanna County Multipurpose Stadium Authority held at the Scranton Cultural Center. But that decision isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily a bad thing. Because if nothing else, the hearing should have calmed some fears about minor league baseball fleeing Northeastern Pennsylvania; Lackawanna County taxpayers collapsing under the cost of PNC Fieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming reconstruction; and the atmosphere of indifference fans complained about around the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This deal is a very good one for the fans of Lackawanna County, the citizens of Lackawanna County,â&#x20AC;? said Steven Lebovitz, Lackawanna Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief baseball negotiator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to be part of it.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a drastically revamped agreement than the one the commissioners worked up in 2010. This one, Lebovitz said, gives the commissioners an option to repurchase the franchise should the Yankees ever want to move their Triple-A affiliate out of town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have to give us one yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice if they want to relocate,â&#x20AC;? Lebovitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they do try to relocate, we have the ability to buy back the team under very favorable financing that the Yankees are going to provide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have significantly improved our ability to keep the Yankees here.â&#x20AC;? Now they have to improve the stadium. And already, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing more costly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the estimated price tag of reconstruction has already risen $3 million over the $40 million approximation of three years ago. Not to worry, Lebovitz said. The Yankees will pick up any over-run costs of the project, will pay for the stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upkeep and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge Lackawanna County more than $15 million for stadium repairs and the county wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin repaying those costs for 10 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They really want to be here,â&#x20AC;? Lebovitz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would not be putting this much money, this much time, this much effort into this if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be here.â&#x20AC;? But can they flourish here? Fans say the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been callously treated at PNC Field over the

THE PATRIOT-NEWS

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre scores four runs in the ninth to end Pawtucketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine-game winning streak.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees are making a habit out of winning in comeback fashion. For the fifth time this season, the Yankees rallied for a victory, the latest coming on Wednesday afternoon at McCoy Stadium in an 8-6 defeat of Pawtucket. More than half of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nine wins this season have been comefrom-behind. On Wednesday, the Yankees scored four runs in the top of the ninth, taking advantage of three walks by PawYANKEES Sox pitcher Garrett Mock. After the Yankees loaded the bases on a single and two free PAWSOX passes with no outs, Francisco Cervelli gave SWB its first lead of the game at 6-5 with a tworun single. With one out in the inning, Steve Pearce hit a sacrifice fly and Brandon Laird laced a run-scoring single to put the team ahead 8-5. All the runs in the frame were scored off of Mock (0-1), who allowed his first runs of the season in 7 2â &#x201E;3 innings. Pawtucket loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth with no outs against Yankees closer Kevin Whelan but could only muster one run on a sacrifice fly. Whelan left two runners stranded while nailing down his fifth save of the season with back-to-back punch-outs of Mauro Gomez and Will Middlebrooks to end the game.

in Hershey. “We had chances and they had chances, maybe there was a difference of a bounce here or there,” said winger Eric Tangradi, who had a goal and an assist in his first game back from Pittsburgh. “That’s how the playoffs go. We’re still confident.” After a pair of first period goals, the Bears maintained their first lead of the series until Tangradi tied things up at 6:22 of the third period. After Kyle Greentree put the Bears back ahead minutes later with a one-timer from the slot midway through the third period, Hershey was whistled for two consecutive penalties in the final 10 minutes. Alex Grant made them pay with a power-play slapshot goal with less than four minutes remaining to tie things up at 3-3 and force overtime. “No one ever quits in the playoffs,” Penguins coach John Hynes said. “They’re working to keep their season going, there’s nothing to save it for. For us there was no back down because we’re trying to get that third win.” Still, the Penguins’ track record in playoff overtimes hasn’t been a good one. Since 2006, the Penguins are 0-6 when it comes to overtime in the playoff, and three of those losses have come

against Hershey. Less than two minutes into the overtime period, the Penguins were dealt a blow when Nick Petersen was called for an apparent high-stick on Boyd Kane. “I’d have to look at the call to see if it actually was a high stick and if there was some contact,” Hynes said. “I think there might be some question on that.” With the Bears on the power play, Hershey maintained the puck in the Penguins end and fired two shots on goaltender Brad Thiessen, who made the initial saves. Ryan Potulny collected the puck at the corner of the net and fired a bad angle shot that got past Thiessen for the win. While losing by a power-play goal in overtime didn’t sit well with the Penguins, they weren’t using the call as an excuse. “When you’re in a playoff series you want it to be five-on-five, a good hockey goal,” Tangradi said. “That’s just how it goes sometimes. If we were able to grind through it I think we were going to be really confident after the kill. It just didn’t happen that

way.” NOTES • D Brian Strait left Wednesday’s game in the second period and didn’t return. Hynes didn’t have an update on his condition after the game. • The Penguins will remain in Hershey today and practice at the Giant Center.

Crestwood pitcher comes through Crestwood starting pitcher Alyssa Davies winds up for a pitch against Berwick in a Wyoming Valley Conference softball game in Wright Township on Wednesday afternoon.

By JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. — In a classic pitchers’ duel, it’s only fitting that one of the hurlers set the table for the only run-scoring play of the game. Crestwood’s Alyssa Davies did just that, as her two-out double in the fourth inning set the stage for the only runs in the Comets’ 2-0 victory over Berwick in Wyoming Valley Conference softball Wednesday. “I went up there knowing that if a ball was pitched in the middle of the plate, to just be aggressive,” Davies said of solving Berwick’s Margaret Bridge, who had been perfect against the first eight Crestwood batters. Davies’ shot to center was the first hit against Bridge. Centerfielder Rachael Ritz followed Davies and inflicted the only damage the Comets (4-4) would need. Ritz fouled off a pair of pitches in a battle of an at-bat before lining a shot over Berwick outfielder Taylor Kern toward the left-field line. Ritz easily rounded the bases, with courtesy runner Summer Gavin scoring ahead of her. “I just had the right stance, and watched the ball all the way in,” Ritz said of her game-winning hit. “I was really just trying to put the ball in play.” Both pitchers finished with three-hitters and they teamed for 13 strikeouts – seven for Davies in the win. “I came out aggressive,” Davies said. “I knew I had my team out there to back me up today. Defensively, our team is great.” The Comets pitcher faced just two batters over the minimum thanks in part to two runners getting thrown out trying to

steal second. “Those two throws,” Comets coach Bob Bertoni said of catcher Mary Kate Coulter. “She made two great throws.” Bridge faced just three over the minimum for Berwick (4-3), retiring the first eight she faced as well as another stretch of six straight between the third and fifth innings. “She was quicker to the plate than most pitchers in the area,” Ritz said of Bridge. “And she moves the ball around really well.” The error-free game was played at a brisk pace and featured a number of strong defensive plays. “We just didn’t hit well,” Berwick coach Brian Bridge said.

The game is part of the Monarchs’ Extra Innings Club, dedicated to community service.

Award-winning Monarchs lend their support through service By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

“They’re learning a lot of life lessons.” Between the amount of events organized by King’s Extra Innings Club – organized by Greeley to focus on giving back to the community – and the effort given by all those involved, the Monarchs were awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. The Monarchs received the Gold Level Award, presented to groups performing more than 1,000 hours of community service over a 12-month period. The King’s baseball team performed 1,604 hours of community service from Sept. 1 through March 1, making for an ideal host to such an event. “We’re glad to do this every year, it just makes our kids feel so special,” said Dave Howell, President of the Wyoming Valley Chapter. “King’s College has been great to us and we’re very thankful.” While the Monarchs that took part in the game were certainly glad to be involved there were a few that couldn’t deny the feeling taken from the moment, whether asked for or not. “The kids are such a blast to be around and just seeing how much fun they have it’s impossible not to have any fun yourself,” said Chris Sweeney, a junior from

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — The baseball game played Wednesday afternoon at Betzler Field was, for the majority of the time, a scene out of any other game. The opposing team took its hacks at the plate, hurried after the ground and fly balls and, in one instance, even stole home – all with the assistance of members of the King’s College baseball team. Head coach Jerry Greeley wouldn’t have had it any other way. For the 10th consecutive year, King’s held its annual Challenger Division Baseball Game. The game consisted of Monarchs players hosting members of the Wyoming Valley Chapter of the Challenger Division, an organization established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League that enables boys and girls with physical and mental challenges to enjoy the game of baseball. “I’m very proud of our players,” Greeley said. “The game with the Challenger Division is the staple of our community service. We have between12 and14 events we do every year and these kids are great when it comes to getting involved, but, I think the most important thing is that they’re learning just to help out others without asking for anything in return.” See CHALLENGER, Page 6B

Patriots hit stride in win over GAR

Freshman Allie Barber scored four times as the Patriots’ offense hit on all cylinders. By JOHN ERZAR jerzar@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Expectations sometime veer farther from reality than anticipated. Case in point – Wednesday’s Pittston Area at GAR girls soccer game. What looked like a showdown between two teams in the thick of the postseason hunt was anything but that. With the traffic from Interstate 81 roaring below, Pittston Area roared to an unexpected 7-0 victory in the Wyoming Valley Conference interdivisional matchup. Freshman Allie Barber continued her impressive play for Pittston Area, scoring four times as the Patriots improved to 5-3 in Division 2-A and picked up some ground on first-place North Pocono (52-1). Two teams from the division make the District 2 playoffs. “I expected it was going to be a good game,” Pittston Area coach Nicole Tieso said, “but our girls offensively really showed up and finally clicked. I think we found the proper rotation and they’re working together.” GAR fell to 6-3 in Division 2-B, remaining behind Wyoming Area (7-1) and Tunkhannock (6-2-1). Only one Division 2-B team makes districts. “It’s definitely not what I expected,” said GAR coach Stephanie Frank, whose team was shut out for the first time this season. “We didn’t come to play. We didn’t play our game. … It’s disappointing.” The game within the game was a matchup of two of the best freshmen in the WVC – GAR’s Brea Seabrook, who entered with a WVC-high 24 goals, and Barber, a slick ballhandler who had found the net 11 times. Barber got the best of the matchup thanks in big part to the Pittston Area defense. Patriot fullbacks Megan Karuzie, Sarah Kosik, Katelyn Pugliese and Mallory Yozwiak constantly broke up what little offense the Grenadiers were able to generate. “They played phenomenal back there,” Tieso said. “They didn’t give them many opportunities.” Pugliese kept tabs on Seabrook when the Patriots were on the attack. When the action switched the other way, midfielder Liz Mikitish picked up Seabrook. While Mikitish is also instrumental on offense, the task wasn’t as daunting as it could have been because of

GAR’s tiny field. (From the sideline to the side of the penalty area was only about 5 yards). Meanwhile, Barber gave Pittston Area to a 2-0 halftime lead, scoring off assists from Pugliese and Mikitish. After Mikitish and Nicolette Bradshaw scored early in the second half for a 4-0 lead, Barber scored her best goal of the game. She took control of the ball in the middle of the penalty area with three defenders in front of her, yet managed to beat them all. After Barber scored a fourth time, Madison Cardinale rounded out the scoring in the 67th minute.

according to the draft pundits. A few had him going first overall to San Francisco, who instead selected Alex Smith. He slid all the way to 24th when Green Bay grabbed him. Brady Quinn was also considered a top-10 talent, but fell to 22nd in the 2007 draft where Cleveland selected him. That doesn’t mean Tannehill will meet the same fate. Just a year ago, Tennessee picked Jake Locker eighth overall and Minnesota made the biggest shocker of the first round by choosing Christian Ponder four picks later. Both quarterbacks were projected as late first-round or early second-round selections. The Internet is overflowing with mock drafts, so here’s another. No trades are projected, but expect a few. 1. Indianapolis – Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford Colts go from one franchise quarterback to potentially another. 2. Washington (from St. Louis) – Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor Redskins gave up a lot to move up in hopes of solving their quarterback situation. 3. Minnesota – Matt Kalil, T, USC Vikings need to rebuild a line that allowed 49 sacks in 2011. 4. Cleveland – Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama Anemic offense gets a big boost, although Claiborne could be a surprise pick. 5. Tampa Bay – Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU Help for a secondary that surrendered 30 TD passes last season. 6. St. Louis (from Washington) – Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State His 121 receptions were eight more than the Rams top-three receivers combined in 2011. 7. Jacksonville – Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi Cox makes sense, but the Jags have a tendency to throw a curveball in the first round. 8. Miami – Melvin Ingram, LB, South Carolina A pass rusher makes more sense than overhyped and overrated Tannehill. 9. Carolina – Luke Kuechly, LB, Boston College The first of many defensive picks for the Panthers should come here. 10. Buffalo – Riley Reiff, T, Iowa Fills a big void and is the last true left tackle prospect worthy of the first round. 11. Kansas City – Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina The Chiefs have swung and missed on first-round D-linemen, so they try again. 12. Seattle – Whitney Merci-

lus, LB/DE, Illinois Nation’s sack leader should help fill a big need for the Seahawks somewhere. 13.

San Diego – Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina The entire cornerback group produced just four interceptions last season. 19.

Cincinnati – Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State A double dip after losing two of their top defensive linemen to free agency. 22.

slides like other QBs in the past. 23. Detroit – Jonathan Martin, T, Stanford Secondary help won’t come at this pick, but a solid, versatile offensive line could. 24. Pittsburgh – Cordy Glenn, T, Georgia The Steelers need some retooling on both sides of the line of scrimmage. 25. Denver – Devon Still, DT, Penn State The Broncos look for a replacement for Brodrick Bunkley, who signed with the Saints. 26. Houston – Dont’a Hightower, LB, Alabama Some see Hightower as a rush end and the Texans can use one after losing Mario Williams. 27. New England (from New Orleans) – Courtney Upshaw, DE, Alabama The Pats will find a spot for Upshaw, who isn’t quite a defensive end or linebacker. 28. Green Bay – Andre Branch, DE, Clemson A pass-rushing specialist for a defense that had only 29 sacks during last season. 29. Baltimore – Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin Could start at guard and slide over to center when Matt Birk hangs it up. 30. San Francisco – Kevin Zeitler, G, Wisconsin One of the most underrated players in the draft can be plugged right into the starting lineup. 31. New England – Harrison Smith, S, Notre Dame The Pats need a safety and the talent in the draft drops significantly after Smith. 32. New York Giants – Doug Martin, RB, Boise State A runner for a backfield that has lost one of its horses and has another coming off an injury.

Philadelphia deals cornerback Samuel to Falcons By CHARLES ODUM AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA — Asante Samuel was willing to restructure his contract to play for the Atlanta Falcons. “I wanted to be a Falcon, so we made it work,” Samuel said. The Falcons gave up only a seventh-round draft pick Wednesday when they acquired the four-time Pro Bowl corner-

YANKEES Continued from Page 1B

The first-place PawSox, who saw their nine-game winning streak end, opened a 5-0 lead after three innings against Yankees starter Adam Warren. Gomez hit his seventh home run of the season in the bottom of the first, a two-run shot for a 2-0 lead. Then in the third, Pawtucket scored three more runs on longballs when Pedro Ciriaco hit his first of the season to lead off the inning. Middlebrooks’ ninth home run of the season was a two-run blast to give Pawtucket a 5-0 lead. Jack Cust’s second home run

back from the Philadelphia Eagles. The Falcons announced the trade after Samuel agreed to restructure his contract to a threeyear, $18.5 million deal. His contract with Philadelphia called for him to earn $9.9 million in 2012 and $11.4 million in 2013. The Falcons were 10-6 last season and 13-3 in 2010, but lost their first playoff game each sea-

son. “The Falcons already have an excellent team and excellent coaches and schemes and talent and all that good stuff,” Samuel said in a telephone interview. “I’m just going to add to the bunch to get the one common goal.” Samuel noted he’s already had a warm reception from Falcons fans on his Twitter account.

Hamels, 5-run 6th power Phils in win The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Giving up two runs after six shutout innings left Cole Hamels fuming Wednesday. “When you give us some runs you want to put up some zeros right away,” said Hamels, who pitched eight strong innings in the Philadelphia Phillies’ 7-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. “That’s what I was able to do.” Hamels (3-1) gave up a leadoff double to Willie Bloomquist in the first then retired the next 18 batters before giving up two runs on three hits, a walk and an error in the seventh. “In the seventh he got into some trouble but he got out of it,” Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. The left-hander allowed four hits overall. He struck out seven, including his final three hitters. “When you’re about to go out there and just plug away, have some quick at-bats, you do get into a comfortable rhythm,” Hamels said. “You want to go out there and have great inning after great inning.” Hamels’ single capped a five-run sixth inning. The Phillies won consecutive games to salvage a 5-5 record on their now-completed road trip. Philadelphia also won its first road series of the season. Mets 5, Marlins 1

NEW YORK — David Wright hit a two-run homer to become the Mets’ career RBIs leader, R.A. Dickey outpitched Mark Buehrle in a crafty duel and New York beat the Miami Marlins. Wright’s homer gave him 735 RBIs and broke a tie with Darryl Strawberry for the team lead. Rockies 2, Pirates 1, first game Pirates 5, Rockies 1, 2nd game

MILWAUKEE — Jose Altuve had four hits, and J.D. Martinez had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Houston Astros over the Brewers.

Rangers 7, Yankees 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Adrian Beltre hit a long home run and had a pair of RBI singles as the Texas Rangers beat the New York Yankees, winning their sixth consecutive series to start a season for the first time in franchise history. Mike Napoli and Mitch Moreland also homered for the two-time defending AL champion Rangers (15-4), who have the best record in the majors. The Yankees found out that starter Michael Pineda will miss the entire season without pitching in a game because of a tear in the labrum of his right shoulder. The Yankees said the righthander will have arthroscopic surgery Tuesday in New York and be out for about a year. New York acquired Pineda from Seattle, giving up top prospect Jesus Montero to get the 23-year-old All-Star. Pineda felt weakness in his shoulder during an extended spring training game Saturday, which came three weeks after he had problems in a spring training start. The tear was discovered afterward.

Rays 3, Angels 2

TAMPA — Jeremy Hellickson overcame early struggles to pitch six effective innings and Ben Zobrist homered. Albert Pujols went 0 for 3, including two strikeouts, extending his hitless streak to 19 at-bats. The Angels slugger has not had a hit in five consecutive starts, which is the longest stretch in his big league career, but did walk in the eighth. Royals 8, Indians 2

CLEVELAND — Billy Butler hit two of Kansas City’s four home runs to help the Royals snap a 12-game losing streak. Orioles 3, Blue Jays 0

BALTIMORE — Jason Hammel pitched seven innings of four-hit ball, Wilson Betemit and Chris Davis homered. Athletics 5, White Sox 4

OAKLAND, Calif. — Kila Ka’aihue blooped a winning single in the 14th inning soon after Yoenis Cespedes’ tying two-run homer, and the Oakland Athletics rallied past the Chicago White Sox.

with his backhander. The building fell silent as the Capitals celebrated just their third postseason series win since a run to the Stanley Cup finals in 1998. Some fans littered the ice with debris, but the Bruins waited for the postgame handshake. Thomas, bringing up the rear, gave Holtby a tap on the shoulder and said, “Great job, kid.” No team has repeated as Stanley Cup champions since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997-98. The Capitals earned more than 100 points in the previous three seasons, leading the NHL with 121 in 2010, but had little to show for it once the postseason started. They won just two series over that span and have not made it out of the Eastern Conference semifinals since 1998, when they made it to the Stanley Cup finals but were swept by Detroit. This year’s regular season

five seasons New York’s Triple-A affiliate has played there is a major reason they’ve stayed away – mainly because of the mismanagement of Mandalay. “That philosophy did not work here,” Lackawanna County commissioner Corey O’Brien said of the indifference to fans. “What we stressed to them is they need to have a new philosophy and a new idea. You’re going to see give-aways and things you have not seen here.” Some people in the audience Wednesday suggested they’ll believe it when they see it. Too good to be true? We’ll find out. But at least it looks like a pretty impressive start. Paul Sokoloski is a Times Leader sports columnist. You may reach him at 970-7109 or email him at psokoloski@timesleader.com.

wasn’t as successful. But the playoffs have a chance to be even better. Entering the postseason as a No. 7 seed, the Capitals won three times in Boston — they also won Games 2 and 5 — to earn a berth in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Their second-round opponent won’t be determined until after Game 7s tonight between Ottawa and the New York Rangers, and Florida and New Jersey.

afternoon helping the players with their at bats, running the bases, fielding, doing whatever was needed to experience a game of baseball. The Challenger Division calls it a “buddy” and it was easy to see that those on the field felt that way about the student athletes from Kings. Prior to the start of the game, Ryan, a member of the Challenger team, introduced himself to as many members of Greeley’s

Bayern defeats Real Madrid on penalties Unlikely championship round will pit Munich vs. Chelsea after surprising semifinals. By PAUL LOGOTHETIS AP Sports Writer

MADRID — Bastian Schweinsteiger sent his penalty kick slicing straight down the middle, and then ripped off his shirt with a roar of triumph. No way Bayern Munich was going to miss the big party at its own house. Bayern Munich became the first team to advance to a Champions League final it is hosting Wednesday night, beating Real Madrid 3-1 on penalty kicks when Schweinsteiger converted the final shot after Sergio Ramos skied his over the crossbar.

“When I think about the fact that we can play a final in our own stadium, this is something to go absolutely crazy about,” Bayern coach Jupp Heynckes said. Go wild Bayern and its fans did, staying on the field long after Madrid coach Jose Mourinho — who watched the shootout from his knees — descended into the tunnel. Madrid’s players left the field with their heads hanging low, and some were in tears after coming so close to reaching their first final in 10 years. “It’s a big blow for us. It was a very exciting game, but penalties are always a lottery,” Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas said. “We played well, but Bayern are a great team.” Bayern, a four-time champion of European soccer’s top club tournament, reached the final for

pass by Mesut Oezil, his 56th goal of the season. But just like its Spanish rival Barcelona the evening before, Madrid faltered. Hungarian referee Victor Kassai awarded Bayern a penalty kick after Pepe pushed Mario Gomez, and Arjen Robben converted it in the 27th minute. That evened the aggregate score in the series 3-3, and also evened the away goals 1-1. The score stayed that way through the second half and 30 minutes of overtime, forcing the shootout, the first in the semifinals since Liverpool defeated Chelsea in 2007. “Trailing 2-0, everyone knows the atmosphere here, everyone knows how difficult it is to come back from this score. But we improved with each minute and played organized in defense,”

said Heynckes, who was Madrid’s coach when it won the Champions League title in 1998. In the shootout, Alaba beat Casillas with the first kick, and Bayern’s Manuel Neuer saved Ronaldo’s shot. Coming in, Ronaldo had converted 26 of 27 penalty kicks for Real Madrid. The only time he failed was when Almeria’s Diego Alves saved him in a Spanish league match on Dec. 5, 2009, his first season in Madrid. Ronaldo also had a penalty saved by Chelsea’s Petr Cech in the 2008 Champions League final. Gomez converted his kick for a 2-0 lead, and Neuer stopped Kaka’s shot. Casillas then denied Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso scored for Madrid, and Casillas stopped Philipp Lahm. Ramos sent his shot high over

the bar — as if it were an NFL field goal — and Schweinsteiger put his shot straight down the middle as Casillas dived left, giving Bayern its fourth victory in five semifinal meetings with Madrid. “It’s so unique to reach the final in Madrid, which is just about Spanish champion over Barcelona,” Heynckes said. “This makes me very proud to have made it to the final.” Madrid and Barcelona were considered by many to be Europe’s top two teams this year. Ronaldo has scored a Spanish league-record 42 goals, with Lionel Messi one behind him. But neither will be playing for the Champions League trophy. It is the second straight year that Madrid bowed out in the semifinals.

the second time in three seasons, and will play Chelsea at Allianz Arena on May 19. Chelsea eliminated defending champion Barcelona on Tuesday. “We will be very much at home in our own stadium and will be in front of a majority of German supporters, but it won’t be easy,” Heynckes said. “Today we proved we are a great team. We showed today we play very well at football.” Following Bayern’s 2-1 win in Germany last week, Cristiano Ronaldo looked to have put the home side on its way to the final with two early goals. He converted a penalty kick in the sixth minute after a cross by Angel Di Maria went off a hand of sliding defender David Alaba. Ronaldo doubled the lead in the 14th from inside the penalty area from a

Apple powers stock gains The Nasdaq composite index shot 2 percent higher Wednesday, powered by a surge in Apple. The iPhone maker’s stock climbed $50 to $610 after the company once again blew past Wall Street’s profit forecasts. With Apple’s help, the technologyfocused Nasdaq posted its best day this year. The Nasdaq rose more than other market indexes thanks to its heavy weighting of Apple shares. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index includes Apple; the Dow Jones industrial average doesn’t. The Dow gained 0.7 percent and the S&P 500 index rose 1.4 percent. Apple accounts for 4 percent of the S&P 500.

Celebrating 25 years By RON BARTIZEK rbartizek@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – Sallie has been around for 25 years and is better than ever. SLM Corp., known informally as Sallie Mae, on Wednesday celebrated its silver anniversary in Northeastern Pennsylvania with speeches by executives and recognition of five employees who have worked for the student loan provider since it opened in 1987 in the former Faith Shoe factory. Chief Executive Albert Lord praised the local workforce and the effort of local officials to woo the firm here for its first facility beyond its northern Virginia roots. “Sallie Mae was looking to grow; Wilkes-Barre stood out” in a nationwide search for the best location, Lord said.

Durable goods orders fall Orders for long-lasting factory goods fell by the largest amount in three years last month, mostly because demand for commercial aircraft plummeted. But companies also ordered less machinery and other equipment, a sign manufacturing output may slow. Excluding transportation equipment, orders declined 1.1 percent. That’s the second drop in that category in three months.

Digital Rights Management – DRM – has long been the bane of both pirates and purchasers of books, music and software. What is it? Let’s say you buy a DRM protected e-book from an online bookstore. You download it onto your computer without a problem. But you want to move it onto your iPad or laptop when you go on vacation. You can’t. The e-book is licensed only for the first computer. You can only read it there. Sure, it seems inconvenient, but thousands of people every day find themselves in the same boat – for books, music, movies and video games. In many cases, you’re not buying a copy of the item, you’re buying a limit-

ABOUT SALLIE MAE IN HANOVER TOWNSHIP

Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber while the new building was under construction. At the time it was the largest new outside investment in the area, he said, and Sallie Mae’s presence helped in recruiting other financial service businesses. “We’d take people over to talk about the quality of the work force and what it’s like to be in the region,” Barrouk said. “All those folks talked to the Sallie Mae people before making a decision.” Sallie Mae went on to build similar centers around the nation, but then closed all of the others after the federal government eliminated subsidies paid to private lenders and banks that originated loans for college students in 2010. Lord also praised the community service work by Sallie Mae employees.

The original office employed about 40 people and serviced 53,000 student loan accounts, according to a company fact sheet. Two years later ground was broken for the current building in the Hanover Industrial Estates that was later expanded and now employs 800 who service millions of student borrowers.

Standard & Poor’s on Wednesday said it lowered its outlook on India’s long-term credit rating to negative from stable, citing concerns over the country’s economic growth and its “large fiscal deficit and debt.” The rating agency affirmed India’s BBB- long-term and A-3 short-term unsolicited sovereign credit ratings. The rating agency said India’s fiscal deficit and a heavy debt burden remain the most significant constraints on its sovereign rating outlook.

LONDON — News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch said Wednesday that his globe-spanning TV and newspaper empire doesn’t carry as much political sway as is often believed, telling a British inquiry into media ethics that he wasn’t the power behind the throne often deMurdoch picted by his enemies. Speaking softly, deliberately and with dry humor, Murdoch sought to deflate what he described as myths about his business, his agenda and his friendships with those at the pinnacle of British politics. The 81-year-old media baron denied ever calling in favors from British leaders and dismissed the oft-repeated claim that his topselling daily, The Sun, could swing elections. “We don’t have that sort of power,” he testified. Murdoch was being quizzed under oath before an inquiry run by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, who is examining the relationship between British politicians and the press, a key question raised by the phone hacking scandal that brought down Murdoch’s News of the World tabloid in July. Throughout the hearing, Murdoch attacked the idea that he traded on his political influence, calling it a “complete myth. One I want to put to bed once and for all.”

Debra Walsh, right, offers remarks after she and her colleagues, Jackie Winter, Stacey Josey, Lynn Girman and Lorraine Heydt, were recognized Wednesday for 25 years of service at Sallie Mae in the Hanover Industrial Estates.

The Coca-Cola Co. is seeking its first stock split in 16 years. The world’s biggest beverage maker said Wednesday the 2-for-1 split is in line with its plan to double revenue over this decade. The Atlanta-based company’s stock began trading in 1919. Since then, the stock has been split only 10 other times. If approved, Coke’s split would increase the number of its shares to 11.2 billion from 5.6 billion. Shares of Coke closed up 81 cents Wednesday at $74.93.

It’s easy to demonstrate that Digital Rights Management has in many cases done the exact opposite of what was intended. Annoying end users makes it much more likely they will illegally download an e-book or a song instead of purchasing it. As a result, online piracy is flourishing, and in many cases the pirated version of a piece of software is more readily available than the real deal. It’s taken some time, but publishers are beginning to get it into their heads – pirates will always crack their copy protection. In the long run, making products affordable and accessible is a much better strategy.

plain about the copy protection, going so far as to reject using distributors who employ it. Fortunately, some publishers are beginning to realize the money they spend on Digital Rights Management, and the level of annoyance their customers feel when they deal with it, might not be worth it. Tor/Forge, a well-known publisher of science fiction and fantasy books, announced recently it is pulling all Digital Rights Management protection from its e-books starting in July due to repeated requests from both authors and readers. Several other e-book publishers have dropped DRM or are in the process of doing so, and publishers of video games and music have begun to reconsider their own anti-piracy philosophies. 10-YR T-NOTE 1.99%

Our current trend of having below average temperatures will continue into the weekend. As more showers move in today, readings will remain below 60 this afternoon. Rainfall today and into early tonight will range under a half inch. Behind the storm tonight the wind will strengthen from the northwest ushering in colder temperatures for tomorrow. Another area of rain will spread east Friday night and may just graze our area from the south during the day on Saturday. But for now the odds favor dry weather through the weekend. - Tom Clark

Gray heads have been popping up on runways and red carpets, on models and young celebrities for months, inlcuding on actress Helen Mirren.

Is it OK to go gray at work? By LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

NEW YORK — Jeanne Thompson began going gray at 23. She colored her hair for years as she worked her way into management at a large Boston-area financial services company, then gave up the dye for good about a year ago. The earth didn’t shake, and the 44-yearold Thompson was promoted to top management the following year. She is among a new type of gray panther, a woman who aspires to do well and get ahead on the job while happily maintaining a full head of gray. “Women put pressure on themDana King selves to color,” the Exeter, N.H., woman said. “It’s a bold statement to be gray because it’s saying, ‘You know what? I did let my hair go, but I’m not letting myJeanne Thompson self go.’ People take me more seriously now. I never apologize for the gray hair.” But not everyone finds it so easy. Laws, of course, exist to ward off discrimiAnne Kreamer nation in the workplace, yet legions of men and women have no interest in letting their gray fly. Not now, when the struggling economy has produced a stampede of hungry young job-seekers. But gray heads have been popping up on runways and red carpets, on models and young celebrities for months. There’s Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne — via dye — and Hollywood royalty like Helen Mirren, the Oscar-winning British actress. Christine Lagarde, the International Monetary Fund chief, is one of the most powerful women in the world, and she keeps her hair gray. So does Essie Weingarten, founder and now creative director of the nail-polish company Essie Cosmetics. For regular working women, it’s a trickier issue. “I don’t think a woman in the workplace is going to follow that trend,” David Scher, a civil-rights attorney in Washington, said

wenty-nine year old Dyann Welsh laughs when she looks at the horse-shaped climbing apparatus that sits to a side of the park on Academy Street in Warrior Run. • “That has been here for as long as I can remember,” she said. “It’s just changed colors.” • The most recent hues on the steel-barred horse are yellow and blue, a scheme that matches many of the playground’s play things. • Welsh spent many days at the recreational spot while growing up and now shares that experience with her 2-year-old son, Connor. On most sunny days the pair is accompanied by Brianne Vanderhoff, also 29, and her son Jacob, 3. The moms find a sense of safety and comfort in the park, while the boys are all about the fun.

A fashion toolkit for everyday wear and tear By SALLY MCGRAW Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

Every fashionista’s address book contains the name of a great tailor and a reliable cobbler. After all, some alterations and repairs are best left to the pros. But there are loads of inexpensive, easy-touse and invaluable tools that can be kept on hand for minor wardrobe emergencies, touch-ups and maintenance. Even high-quality sweaters will start to pill eventually, especially under the arms and at the hem. Sweater stones can help a bit, but a $10 sweater shaver is faster, more

The best versions of these little devices look like men’s electric shavers, with a perforated metal head that guards fibers from the whirring internal blades.

They’re surprisingly dry and mess-free — unlike smelly, goopy polishes — and can last for years if stored properly.

will be restored instantly. Nothing makes a button-front shirt look crisp and new like a thorough pressing, but ironing takes time and a certain amount of skill. If you’re short on either, consider a handheld steamer instead. For $30 or less, you’ll get a portable device that works wonders on wrinkled garments. In most cases, you’ll fill a small tank with tap water, plug in the steamer, and wait while the water boils. Once steam begins to flow, slowly pass the steamer across wrinkled surfaces from the inside of the garment. Stubborn wrinkles in wovens and twill may require an iron, but knits, jersey, wool and cashmere will respond beautifully.

with a laugh. “I think women in the workplace are highly pressured to look young. If I were an older working person, the last thing I would do is go gray.” Yes, he’s a dude, and at 44 he has virtually no salt in his hair, but he wasn’t alone in issuing a warning against workplace gray for women. “While the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was created to protect employees 40 years of age and older, some men and women may still encounter ageism in the workplace,” said Stephanie Martinez Kluga, a manager for Insperity, a San Antonio-based company that provides human-resources services to small and medium-size businesses. “The long-standing perception that men with gray hair are experienced and women with gray hair are simply old may still be an issue that affects employees in workplaces across the U.S.,” she said. Some of today’s new gray panthers also offer strong words of caution about exactly how well those anti-discrimination laws work. Anne Kreamer is gray and proud, but she didn’t unleash the

Storage solutions Tall boots are a fall and winter staple, but keeping them in shape can be challenging. Instead of purchasing expensive boot shapers, try rolling up old magazines and sliding them into boot shafts. This will keep all but the most slouchy of boots upright and crease-free. Wine bottles work equally well, but can prove hazardous if boots are stored on high shelves. Storing a large collection of scarves can be tricky, especially because they vary in weight, size and texture. If you have room inside your closet door or on an interior wall, try installing a towel rack. Scarves can be draped over the rack itself, or you can add shower rings to the bar and insert multiple scarves in each ring. Extremely delicate and valuable scarves should be kept packed away, but casual ones will fare well. This simple storage method keeps scarves visible, accessible and relatively wrinkle-free. On the go Keeping wardrobe maintenance tools at home is only helpful if you have the time and foresight to examine your outfit before heading out the door. Most wardrobe malfunctions happen while you’re on the go, and they are guaranteed day-ruiners. Having the tools on hand to deal with common style-related problems can make a world of difference, so consider assembling an emergency kit to keep in your purse. Fill a small zippered bag with blister block, double-sided fashion tape, safety pins, a stain removal stick, a mini bottle of clear nail polish, bobby pins and nail clippers. If you can squeeze them in, add ponytail holders, blotting papers and tweezers, but remember that the ideal emergency kit can be tucked into a handbag. Don’t let it get too bulky.

color until she left her day job to become self-employed. She dedicates an entire chapter of her 2007 book “Going Gray” to workplace issues. “We only fool ourselves about how young we look with our dyed hair,” said the Harvard-educated Kreamer, a former Nickelodeon executive who helped launch the satirical magazine Spy before

writing the book exploring her journey to silver. When it comes to gray on the job, Kreamer said, context counts. The color might be easier in academia over high-tech, for instance, and in Minneapolis over Los Angeles. Job description and your rung on the ladder also might be in play: chief financial officer versus a lowlier, more creative and therefore more gray-tolerant position like assistant talent agent, for example. Kreamer dubbed the largely unspoken phenomenon “hair-colorism.” In 1950, 7 percent of women dyed their hair, she said. Today, it’s closer to 95 percent or more, depending on geographic location. In the ’60s, easy, affordable hair dye in a box hit store shelves, changing the follicle landscape for good. “When women were going to work, it was like they could reinvent themselves and say, ‘I’m no house frau anymore.’ Hair dye got kind of linked in there, and we never looked back,” said Kreamer, who went prematurely gray and colored for 25 years. “It’s still very complicated.” Sandra Rawline, 52, in Houston knows how complicated it can be. A trial is scheduled for June in her federal lawsuit accusing her boss at Capital Title of Texas of ordering her to dye her gray hair in 2009, when her office moved to a swankier part of town. The suit

gray in her 20s, began dyeing in her 30s and went to work for San Francisco’s KPIX in1997, rising to news anchor. In January 2010, she first approached her general manager, a man whom she had known for a decade, about her giving up the dye. “He didn’t like the idea at all and he asked me not to do it,” King said. Soon after, she did it anyway, with the comfort of a nocut contract good to May 2013. “It got down to the point where I was dyeing it every two to three weeks. I just decided, ‘I’m not doing this anymore.’ I felt like I had sold my soul and betrayed myself,” she said. After sharing her hair story onair, King was deluged with emails from viewers, including many women who colored and some who worried she had fallen ill. “The response was overwhelmingly positive,” King said. “They said it was a relief for them, that they could see someone that made it OK to be gray.” King knows her road to gray wouldn’t have gone so well had she been a TV news star elsewhere. “I work in a youth-oriented industry, and I’m not an idiot,” she said. “This is not Miami. This is not Los Angeles. I would have been fired had I worked in some other markets. I can’t get a job anywhere else, I don’t think. I have no illusions about what I’ve done, and I’m good with that.”

“It’s always very clean here and smoke free,” Vanderhoff said. “This park was actually a deciding factor in our moving to this area.” Vanderhoff lives across the way on Front Street. “I wanted a place where we could come on nice days and just relax. Dyann and I have been good friends, so having her and Connor with us is a bonus.” Welsh lives on Orchard Street, which also can be seen from the park. It’s not just Warrior Run residents who flock to the play place though. “I actually have friends from Nanticoke, Hanover and WilkesBarre that will drive just to come here,” Vanderhoff said. It’s no wonder. The park is filled with mostly new equipment that provides fun for the smallest to the biggest of children. Connor and Jacob are partial to the two slides in the park, one of which is spiraled and the other that’s a much lower height.

Jacob Vanderhoff, 3, climbs over moving pedestals, among the tricky structures in place at the Warrior Run playground.

Three large, colorful barrels at the far end of the park provide a drumming area for those so inclined, and children can climb up, down and across a series of bars. A firetruck-shaped jungle gym sits near the park’s entrance. Creating an entire obstacle course is possible, especially with the rickety blue and yellow “bridge” that contains individual blocks that shift as weight is put on them or the blue and yellow discs that jut from the ground and tilt and shake when touched.

available to scale. Across the street is a piece of the park that was separated in recent years. “A while ago they made the decision to separate the basketball court by moving it across the road, which is really nice,” Welsh said. “It was a way to keep the big kids and the little kids separate, and it makes for a more comfortable environment. The kids can do what they want without interfering with each other.” And of course, for those parents

accuses him of instructing her to wear “younger, fancier suits” and lots of jewelry, according to the Houston Chronicle. Rawline, an escrow officer and branch manager, wouldn’t comment for this story. The newspaper said her superior called her lawsuit preposterous. The reason we know about Rawline and Lagarde and Weingarten and Mirren and — let’s throw in NBCUniversal exec Lauren Zalaznick — is that their gray strands stand out against a sea of, well, not gray. Weingarten, 62, began going gray at 18 and said she colored for years. She gave it up about 20 years ago. “People would say, ‘Are you crazy? You have to color your hair,”’ she said. “I had my own business. I was an entrepreneur. I could do whatever I wanted, but the truth is I know a lot of women who are petrified to show gray hair because it means they’re maturing.” The new “gray movement” doesn’t keep tabs on membership, but blogs like Terri Holley’s Going Gray are proliferating, along with pro-gray Facebook fan pages and Twitter feeds. “Society has boxed in women on what’s considered to be beautiful, and this defies how we’re supposed to look,” Holley said. “People say, ‘I’m so glad I found you. I’m so glad we’re having this conversation.”’ Dana King, 53, started going

Father who wants to be in kids’ loop must start trying a little harder Dear Abby: “Modern Dad in Roswell, Ga.” (Feb. 26) was put off that invitations to his young daughters are sent to his ex-wife’s home rather than to both his and the ex-wife’s. He assumes the sender is “sexist” and suggests the solution for children with two households is to be sent two invitations. As a parent who invites children to my home or to a party, I don’t feel I should be responsible for their parents’ communication difficulty. Often I am not even aware that a child has two households. The invitation simply goes home with the child to wherever he or she is that day. Personally, I think “Modern Dad” is

DEAR ABBY

ing prevented from being an “active parent.” — Regular Mom in Tennessee

ADVICE

Dear Regular Mom: A majority of readers agreed that more sharing of information between the girls’ mother and “Dad” will solve his problem. Other parents’ comments:

overly sensitive. He needs to realize that no one is deliberately snubbing him or making assumptions about parental roles. They are just inviting his kids to things, for which he should be grateful. Did he share his address with the inviter? Does he make his preference clear to parents when meeting them? I believe it’s presumptuous to expect someone to send two invitations to the same child. And I agree with you, Abby, that “Dad” needs to improve communication with his ex-wife so he no longer feels he is be-

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: Friends, acquaintances and professionals should not have to go out of their way to cover all the bases. Given the number of divorced, remarried and otherwise situated families, more than a single contact point becomes burdensome for those trying to complete business or issue simple invitations. My guess is, even though the girls stay with Dad, he doesn’t have rela-

CRYPTOQUOTE

tionships with most of their friends’ parents. Unless he cultivates these connections, it is improbable that he will be added to the contact list. — Challenged, Too, in Severna Park, Md. Dear Abby: I know from organizing school activities that often only one parent supplies an email address to the school, and it’s usually the mom. If “Modern Dad’s” ex-wife would cooperate by sending him a list of email addresses of those most likely to issue invites, he could send out a polite message sharing his contact information with those other parents. If he reaches out to help arrange carpools or organize social outings — which is usually a “mom” job — he’ll become

an added member of “the group.” — Non-Sexist Mom in Illinois Dear Abby: Our solution was to use an online computer calendar for the kids’ events. That way, regardless of which parent gets the invite, it can be posted on the calendar with the appropriate details. (Privacy settings can be set so the calendar is not viewable to the general public.) — Florida Father To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are savvy, that’s for sure. But considering the opinions of another person will make you even more so. Even if you think you have your plans nailed down, ask around for different ideas. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your family will have an impact on your decision-making process today. This is true whether or not they are nearby. Your connection bridges the gap of time and space. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). This is the kind of day you prefer: Your mood is upbeat; your activities are offbeat. You’ll march happily to a different drummer who happens to be playing at a pretty snappy tempo. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your executive abilities will be highlighted. Though your decisions affect many, you make them without an ounce of stress or worry. You trust yourself, and that’s the essence of confidence. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are moving quickly now. Not one to wait around in vain, you make sure you have something to do while others try to keep up with you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Starting too many projects at once is a form of procrastination, as it delays the completion of all goals. Keep it simple. Finish what’s on your plate. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Knowledge on its own isn’t worth much unless you can put it to good use. Today you’ll do some planning to come up with the exact action-steps that will take you where you want to go.

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 don’t like it when others question your judgments, systems, strategies and decisions. But if you have a good answer, you’ll get to take credit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It is rare that you get long stretches of peace. You have to make the effort to keep the world at bay by going where you’re unlikely to be distracted. If you do this, you’ll love how you feel. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You and your business are all wrapped together in one package now. You know what people get when they spend time with you and/or buy what you’re selling. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re like a child trying to act older than his or her years; you want to grow quickly. But if you try to do too much too fast, you’ll only set yourself up for a stressful experience. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the feeling that you should veer off in your own direction. After all, you can’t leave your footprint on this Earth if you walk in another person’s tracks. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 26). Your tastes and desires are developing in interesting ways, which is reflected in your choices this year. You’ll be featured in a public forum because of your admirable style. Family happenings are featured in July, and you’ll play a new role with your loved ones then, too. August fun turns into a profit opportunity. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 4, 37, 41 and 24.
