Lupas is indicted

Charges stem from $246,080 he allegedly stole from client through bogus scheme. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted attorney Anthony Lupas on five counts of mail fraud, alleging he stole $246,080 from a client through a bogus investment scheme. The charges come less than one month after Lupas’ attorney, William Ruzzo, filed court documents indicating Lupas is attempting to negotiate a plea agreement with prosecutors. The indictment alleges that Lupas on three occasions between June 2006 and September 2009, Lupas enticed a client to give him money under the premise it would be invested in a trust fund that would pay 7 percent tax-free interest. In reality, there was no trust fund and Lupas used the money for his personal gain. In order to conceal the scheme, Lupas sent the client, who is not identified, “interest” payments he claimed the money had earned. The indictment lists only one victim, but attorneys represent dozens of other people who allege they were defrauded out of millions of dolSee LUPAS, Page 10A

Prothonotary fought to keep office as elected post under home rule. Times Leader staff

The state Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear Luzerne County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski’s appeal of a court ruling that upheld the elimination of her office, ending her fight to keep the office as an elected po-

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan — On a swift, secretive trip to the war zone, President Barack Obama declared Tuesday night that after years of sacrifice the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan is winding down just as it has already ended in Iraq. “We can see

the light of a new day on the horizon,” he said on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death and in the midst of his own re-election campaign. “Our goal is to destroy al-Qaida, and we are on a path to do exactly that,” Obama said in an unusual speech to America broadcast from an air base halfway around the world. He spoke after signing an agreement with Afghan President Hamid Karzai setting postwar promises and expectations. With two armored troop carriers

as a backdrop, Obama made his remarks in the midst of his endeavor to win re-election as U.S. president and commander in chief. The president landed in Bagram in darkness, and his helicopter roared to Kabul for the meeting with Karzai, under close guard, with only the outlines of the nearby mountains visible. Later, back at the base, he was surrounded by U.S. troops, shaking every hand. He ended his See OBAMA, Page 10A

County gets proposals for software Officials may choose new provider for program to track finances and payroll. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County officials are considering a new computer software program for all financial and payroll records. Four proposals were submitted in response to a public advertisement by Monday’s deadline, said county Interim Budget/Finance Chief Vic Mazziotti. The existing software provider, Minnesota-based ACS Enterprise Solutions, did not submit a proposal, Mazziotti said. Instead, the company has requested the opportunity to negotiate a new contract before the current one expires at the end of this year. Mazziotti said the county should act within 45 to 60 days if vendors will be changed because it will take months to convert records to a new system. Three companies submitted proposals, Mazziotti said: New World Systems, Troy, Mich.; SunGard Public Sector, Lake Mary, Fla.; and Tyler Technologies, Maine. The City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County also submitted a proposal because they have a joint computer data center that provides services to other government entities, he said. County officials must analyze the proposals and fee options before presenting a cost comparison report, Mazziotti said. A team of administrators will meet Thursday to evaluate the proposals and eventually make a recommendation to county Manager Robert Lawton, he said. Lawton must seek county council approval for the software contract because it would exceed $25,000 next year. ACS is paid $28,000 per month to provide human resources and financial software. The company’s contract for county time clock support won’t expire for several years and was not part of the proposal, Mazziotti said. The company received $273,765 and a $5,000 monthly fee to assist in time clock record conversion and data hosting. All entities that submitted proposals handle software for other Pennsylvania counties, he said. New World and Tyler each have at least five county clients in the state, he said. ACS has been providing software to the county since 2004, when commissioners decided it was time to stop relying on paper records. The late former county controller Steve Flood had pushed for a financial software program since 2002, likening employees to the Charles Dickens character Bob Cratchit with their thick ledgers filled out by hand. Mazziotti said a complicated record conversion will be required, regardless of whether the vendors change, because hundreds of spending categories must be realigned under the new home rule government department structure.

2nd district objects to Sandusky subpoena Associated Press

STATE COLLEGE — A second school district in central Pennsylvania has asked the judge in Jerry Sandusky’s criminal case to throw out a subpoena for information about one of his alleged victims. Lawyers for the Mifflin County School District filed a motion on Tuesday to quash the defense subpoena, citing federal and state laws that govern disclosure of various school records. The records pertain to the young man described in court records as “Victim 9.”

Council gets arbitration lesson Members learn about process that may be used to resolve detective contract. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Council members asked the administration questions about the arbitration process at Tuesday’s work session because the expired detective contract will head to binding arbitration if an agreement isn’t reached. County Human Resources Director Andrew Check said arbitration is an option for unions that can’t strike. The county and union would each appoint a representative, and those two would then choose a neutral arbitrator from a list of Pennsylvania arbitrators using a process of elimination, he said. The wages of counterparts elsewhere are typically con-

sidered in arbitration, he said. Governing bodies often argue they can’t afford all union requests, but Lawton that contention is a “wild card” that may not be accepted by the neutral arbitrator, he said. Councilman Harry Haas asked whether arbitrators typically favor unions or employers, and Check said labor historically benefits. Councilman Rick Williams asked the costs of binding arbitration. Check said it usually ranges from $5,000 to $25,000. The bill increases when parties disagree on multiple issues because more arbitration sessions are required, possibly involving witnesses, he said. County Manager Robert Lawton, the lead contract negotiator under home rule, has not presented a proposed detective

contract, saying he needed more time. Council must approve all collective bargaining agreements. A contract with the court-related union also expired Dec. 31. The union had announced plans in January to seek binding arbitration, but union representatives have been meeting with the administration to discuss options. In other business, county council agreed to form a committee to revise the lengthy administrative code presented by Lawton.

pshitut@timesleader.com

Lawton said he is working on a revised version, based in part on feedback from home rule transition committee members, but his update won’t be ready for at least two weeks. Council members said they don’t want to wait to start their review because they must adopt the code by June 23. Lawton said he will attend committee meetings to discuss his planned revisions. Council also publicly interviewed applicants for vacant seats on the Children and Youth Services Advisory Board. Council members agreed to create a policy formalizing their practice of publicly interviewing applicants for vacant board, authority and commission seats and posting information about these entities on the county website.

April 30, 2012

ary Jean (Tina) Mosca, 61, of Forty Fort passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by her family Monday, April 30, 2012. Born in Kingston, Tina was a daughter of the late George and Olga Kobela Broody. She was a graduate of Berwick High School, class of 1968, and Mansfield University, class of 1972. Tina began her master’s degree program at Bloomsburg University and received a master’s degree from West Chester University.

Tina was a truly selfless person who lived for her family. She loved to help them and cook delicious homemade meals. She told stories of her life growing up on the farm in Berwick.

Her presence lit up every room she entered. She was the happiest watching her daughters in their many endeavors; traveling throughout the country on field hockey tournaments and pageants. Her profession was teacher and businesswoman, but her true passion was supporting Elise and Vanessa. She was a member of the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, Kingston.

LOCAL Exeter admits to $200,000 debt Resident: Council may have been counting on taxes, fees if Walmart had located there. By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

EXETER – Borough Councilman Joseph Esposito said Tuesday night the borough had an estimated outstanding debt of $200,000. “We’re not in good financial shape,” said Esposito, noting the borough was hard at work developing a plan that would reduce debt without undue hardship on borough residents. “We simply ask that the borough acts to improve our financial health in the long term,” said resident Len Coleman. “We ask that they act in a rea-

sonable manner.” Mary Pat Coleman addressed the board, saying council members had “counted their chickens before they hatched,” referring to the Walmart Super Center council had anticipated moving to Wyoming Avenue in that borough. That business would have generated a sizable amount of real estate and earned income taxes, and fees. Plans for the Walmart super store failed, however, when the company was unwilling to comply with PennDOT requirements for a highway occupancy permit, resulting in a sizable shortfall to the borough.

Panel studies racing fund

The state Senate Democratic Policy Committee will hold a hearing today to examine the economic impact of Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposal to shift $72 million a year from the Race Horse Development Fund. The committee will hear from owners and breeders who have used the Yudichak fund, derived from casino gaming proceeds, to increase purses and revive Pennsylvania’s racing industry. The public hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in the North Office Building in Harrisburg. Sen. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, said the proposal does not make any sense to him. Job creation, he said, needs to be a top priority in Pennsylvania. Shifting money from what he called “proven job creators” goes against that priority. NEW YORK CITY

John Doneghy and Michael Maholtz protest with a few others on Wilkes-Barre’s Public Square on Tuesday evening as part of the May Day Occupy movement.

Public Square 99% Occupied Local protesters take over middle of downtown by joining in Occupy movement’s May Day protests.

By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A small but enthusiastic group of 99-percenters took control of Wilkes-Barre’s Public Square Tuesday in association with the Occupy movement’s May Day protests. Holding signs bearing slogans such as “Wall Street Sold Out Main Street” and “We are the 99 percent, hear us roar” – there were signs for everyone – about a dozen protesters elicited frequent honks from cars circling the square during the

evening event. The protest coincided with International Workers’ Day, also called May Day, an international holiday that celebrates labor and left-wing movements on May1. This year the Occupy movement encouraged workers and students to declare a general strike on the day and staged protests in cities around the country. “We’re just trying to draw attention to May Day, which is no work, no school, it’s just a day without the 99 percent,” said John Doneghy of Scranton, a protester at the Wilkes-Barre rally. “I don’t think the world realizes, without its workers, it wouldn’t go anywhere.” Associated events included a march over the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City – an alternative to plans to shut

Protests in Wilkes-Barre were comparatively subdued, but protesters were OK with that. “New York is really big today, thousands of people were out,” said protester Michael Maholtz of Scranton. “WilkesBarre’s not as big as that, but as long as we’re getting the message out.

Roseanne may be nominated for president Comic among candidates local Green Party may pick at caucus Saturday in W-B. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Roseanne Barr for president? She’s in the running for the Green Party nomination, and on Saturday local party members can gather in what long-time locals know as “the Sophia Room” at the restaurant in Boscov’s basement to help decide if the acerbic comic heads the November party ticket. “Our idea is to encourage people to shop, eat and bank downtown,” Green Party State Chairman Carl Romanelli of Wilkes-Barre said.

pearing on the primary ballot, the Green Party will pick its presidential candidate this year through regional caucuses, some of which have already been held, including in Philadelphia, Romanelli said. Three caucuses are scheduled in Northeastern Pennsylvania: May 5 at the Sophia Room in Boscov’s basement diner – on the Franklin Street side of the venerable downtown Wilkes-Barre store; May 6 at the Hotel Wayne, 1202 Main St, Hones-

The Sophia room – so dubbed because iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren is said to have eaten there – may seem like a small venue for a party that, according to Romanelli, has 435 registered voters in Luzerne County. He concedes the turnouts are usually “20 to 30, sadly.” And he conceded the party has no realistic chance to put a nominee in the White House this year. “To be frank, I’d be silly and quite deluded if I thought Jill Stein or Rosanne Barr, who are really the two

WILKES-BARRE – Daniel Smith testified he was there the night Alicia Weaver was shot and killed in a wooded area in Foster Township. He said he heard shots being fired and saw Weaver, 20, of Hazleton, fall to the ground on Nov. 13, 2010. Smith, of Brooklyn, N.Y., testified in the second day of Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks’ trial on homicide charges relating to Weaver’s death. Westbrooks A jury of eight women and six men was selected Monday to hear the case. Testimony will continue this morning. Smith was the first witness called by prosecutors to testify Tuesday. He said Weaver and Westbrooks, 22, of West Hazleton, had been arguing about money she allegedly owed him. Westbrooks, other witnesses testified Tuesday, was Weaver’s pimp and ordered her to do a prostitution job to repay money to Westbrooks. But instead of Westbrooks driving Weaver, Smith and Brandon Crum to a hotel where they were to drop her off, Westbrooks drove to a dirt road in a wooded area near Eckley Miners Village, where Weaver was shot and killed. Smith testified that after the shooting, the men drove to Brooklyn, N.Y., and that he didn’t contact the police. Smith said he was scared, had just seen someone murdered and feared something similar would happen to him. Westbrooks, Smith said, had a previous dispute with him in which Westbrooks stabbed him in the face with a screwdriver. Smith said neither he nor Crum killed Weaver. In his testimony for the prosecution, Christopher Gonzalez said he and Weaver were standing outside the barbershop where he works when two men approached Weaver. He identified one as “Tears,” Westbrooks’ nickname. Gonzalez said “Tears” asked Weaver for his “bread” and appeared angry. Weaver, Gonzalez said, seemed “scared to say the least.” Gonzalez and Weaver had dated for a number of months beginning in early 2010, he testified. He said he called Weaver after she left with Westbrooks to check on her. Weaver answered the phone, Gonzalez said, but said she couldn’t talk and hung up. Dominique Frazier, Weaver’s boyfriend at the time she was killed, testified Tuesday he got a text message around 1:42 p.m. from Weaver saying, “Tear and them got me.” Frazier said he briefly searched for See WESTBROOKS, Page 10A

Seminar to plug natural gas vehicles Judge says charges Converting fleets would save money and cut emissions, proponents say. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A fleet of phone and Internet repair trucks; an 18-wheel truck owner-operator; a county transportation authority. These are some of the entities that could save money and reduce emissions by converting their vehicles to natural gas, according to hotel owner Gus Genetti and engineering firm Borton-Lawson. The pair, in conjunction with the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, will host an educational seminar Friday on the benefits of converting fleet vehicles to run on natural gas at Genetti Hotel and Conference

Center. The invitation-only event will feature presentations by Cynthia Williams of the Ford Motor Co., who will talk about the future of natural gas vehicles, and Plains Township Commissioner Jerry Yozwiak, who will address how his township won a state grant for a natural-gas refueling station and gas-powered garbage truck. Representatives of Chesapeake Energy, Corning Natural Gas, UGI Utilities and Penn State University also will speak, and the event will conclude with a panel discussion. More than 300 business and local and state officials have been invited, BortonLawson spokeswoman Chelsey Coslett said. Coslett said the conference’s intent is to expose local businesses to the economic benefits of converting trucks and fleet vehicles to run on natural gas and show them what programs are

available to help them make the switch. “The main thing is that they walk away with the knowledge and desire to go back to their places of work and set a deadline, or look into converting their fleet vehicles to use natural gas,” Coslett said. The conference was the brain child of Genetti, a proponent of natural gas vehicles. “It seems like there’s no question it would be beneficial to be using domestic fuel rather than having to buy oil from people who don’t like us,” Genetti said. The lower cost of natural gas can make the price of conversion worthwhile very quickly in highmileage fleet vehicles, Genetti said. Natural gas costs the equivalent of about $2 per gallon, compared to more than $3.50 a gallon for gasoline and more than $4 per gallon for diesel.

A commercial truck driver buying a $26,000 liquid natural gas conversion kit will make up the cost of conversion in an average of seven months, Genetti said, adding that there are currently more than 250 natural gas fueling stations operating or under construction in the United States, most along major interstates. Genetti said he was inspired to host the seminar in Wilkes-Barre after attending a similar gathering in Williamsport, Lycoming County, last year. That municipality recently won $400,000 in grants to build a natural gas fueling station and run public buses on natural gas. He thinks Luzerne County is ready for natural gas vehicles as well. “Last year Williamsport and Lycoming County weren’t ready for it, and within a couple months now they’ll have natural gas vehicles, a natural gas depot,” Genetti said.

GOING WITH THE SLOW FLOW IN THE CITY

ehicles travel single file through construction on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard during the morning rush hour Tuesday. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says the thoroughfare will be one lane in each direction between Scott and Market streets through Thursday evening for paving work. The slowdown is one of several that drivers are facing in the city this week. Construction continues on Coal Street, Veterans Memorial Bridge, River Street near Wilkes-Barre General Hospital and around the Hotel Sterling. Also, PennDOT said Monday that North Washington Street will be closed for repairs between Wilkes-Barre Boulevard and Brookside Street for about two weeks starting Wednesday.

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – WilkesBarre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich waived his right to a formal arraignment on charges he stole more than $11,000 from the departments bank account. Yuknavich, 48, of East Northampton Street, waived his right to the arraignment in county court on charges of theft, receiving stolen property and an access device-related charge, entering a plea of not guilty. Yuknavich will next be scheduled for a pre-trial hearing in the case.

WILKES-BARRE – A partially nude man charged with firing a rifle into an occupied Pittston Township building can have firearms charges reinstated against him, a judge decided Tuesday. A criminal procedure rule that is only two paragraphs allows the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office to break a negotiated plea deal reached with defendants at preliminary hearings, Luzerne County Judge William Amesbury ruled. Amesbury ruled in the case against Michael Kozloski, 28, whose attorneys, Jonathan Ursiak and Joseph Yeager, wanted a judge to enforce an agreement Assistant District Attorney Mark Makowski made at a preliminary hearing on Jan. 20. Makowski, who no longer works in the district attorney’s office, withdrew four firearm offenses against Kozloski in exchange for Kozloski pleading guilty to aggravated assault.

State police allege Yuknavich stole $11,865 from the fire department’s bank account between October 2008 and August 2010, and used the department’s credit card at Sam’s Club for $3,706 in personal purchases. WILKES-BARRE – A county judge last month denied the request of a local businessman to delay a May 14 trial date in a case where he sued a California man and the Citizens’ Voice newspaper, saying the paper printed defamatory statements about him. Judge William Amesbury denied the request for the continSelections of Cool Gel & Memory Foam Mattresses

uance, requested by Thom Greco’s attorney, Megan Maguire. She had requested a brief continuance to better prepare for the trial since she had recently been appointed to the case. Named as defendants in the suit are Michael Leslie Bernback; the Citizens’ Voice and its owner, the Scranton Times; The Times Partners; owners of the Times Partners; Shamrock Communications; Voice reporter James Conmy; and its editorial page editor, Lisa Napersky. According to the lawsuit, the newspaper in 2004 printed an article stating Greco paid Bernback nearly $445,000 in a lawsuit.

Bernback sued Greco after the pair’s business partnership at the “Harveys Lake Amphitheater, and then the Montage Mountain Amphitheater” had dissolved. The story also contained statements from Bernback. And a letter to the editor written by Bernback was later printed in the Voice. Greco said the article and letter wrongly imply Greco fraudulently deceived Bernback, even though the court ruling indicated Greco breached a contract. Greco said the article and letter contained false statements that were printed with the intent to hamper his reputation in the community. He is seeking more than $50,000.

fired a round from a rifle into an occupied building on East Oak Street on Jan. 6, according to the criminal complaint. Shortly after the preliminary hearing, First Assistant District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce disapproved the agreement and instructed township police to refile all charges against Kozloski. Police refilled the charges against Kozloski on March 2. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on May 21 before District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township. Sanguedolce timely filed the “Notice of Disapproval” before the formal information, which lists the charges to be settled in the court of common pleas, was filed against Kozloski, according to court records. Amesbury praised Ursiak for making “a compelling argument,” adding that Rule 561 permits the district attorney to review plea deals reached at preliminary hearings. It usually takes four to six weeks when the formal information is filed against a defendant after a preliminary hearing. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said she was pleased with the ruling. Ursiak said he will meet with Kozloski before deciding if an appeal is warranted.

WILKES-BARRE – Immediately after Timothy Jasnoski stole jewelry from an elderly woman’s house during a burglary, he sold the precious items at a pawn shop, according to charges filed. Jasnoski, 34, last known address as North Washington Street, was arraigned again Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges of burglary, theft and receiving stolen property. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $30,000 bail. City police refiled the charges against Jasnoski after the initial case was dismissed due to an officer’s illness. In another case, Jasnoski is facing burglary-related charges after allegedly forcing his way inside a vacant house on Gardner Avenue and attempting to steal copper

pipes in the basement on March 20. Police caught Jasnoski trying to escape through a basement window, according to arrest and court records. According to the criminal complaint: An elderly woman on East Chestnut Street reported on Feb. 24 that jewelry was stolen during a burglary at her residence. Police learned on March 1 that Jasnoski sold jewelry stolen from the East Chestnut Street house at King Tut’s Gold Repair Hut on North Pennsylvania Avenue at about 12:10 p.m. on Feb. 24, soon after the burglary, the criminal complaint says. Jasnoski is known to the elderly woman. Police said the elderly woman identified the jewelry Jasnoski sold at the pawn shop. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on May 9 in Central Court.

Is free travel in Cuba’s future? Voters

B R I E F

Exit visa could be thing of past

By PAUL HAVEN Associated Press

Headed for a landing

This seagull is obviously not afraid of humans, as it sails in for a landing on a man’s head at Circular Quay in Sydney, Australia, Tuesday.

HAVANA — After controlling the comings and goings of its people for five decades, communist Cuba appears on the verge of a momentous decision to lift many travel restrictions. One senior official says a “radical and profound” change is weeks away. The comment by Parliament Chief Ricardo Alarcon has residents, exiles and policymakers abuzz with speculation that the much-hated exit visa could be a thing of the past, even if Raul Castro’s government continues to limit the travel of doctors, scientists, military personnel and others in sensitive roles to prevent a brain drain. Other top Cuban officials have cau-

tioned against over-excitement, leaving islanders and Cuba experts to wonder how far Havana’s leaders are willing to go. In the past 18 months, Castro has removed prohibitions on some private enterprise, legalized real estate and car sales, and allowed compatriots to hire employees, ideas that were long anathema to the government’s Marxist underpinnings. Scrapping travel controls could be an even bigger step, at least symbolically, and carries enormous economic, social and political risk. Even half measures — such as ending limits on how long Cubans can live abroad or cutting the staggeringly high fees for the exit visa that Cubans must obtain just to leave the country — would be

significant. “It would be a big step forward,” said Philip Peters, a Cuba expert at the Virginiabased Lexington Institute. “If Cuba ends the restrictions on its own Castro citizens’ travel, that means the only travel restrictions that would remain in place would be those the United States imposes on its citizens.” The move would open the door to increased emigration and make it easier for Cubans overseas to avoid forfeiting their residency rights, a fate that has befallen waves of exiles since the 1959 revolution. It could also bolster the number of Cubans who travel abroad for work, increasing earnings sent home in the short term and, ultimately, investment by a new moneyed class.

Woman to get back animals

officials will return five survivS tate ing exotic animals to a woman

whose husband released dozens of wild creatures before committing suicide. The Ohio Department of Agriculture announced the decision Monday at an agency hearing in which the state was to defend its authority to quarantine the animals — two leopards, two primates and a bear — on suspicion of infectious diseases. A spokeswoman for the agency said that the state had exhausted its authority in the case and that the state’s agriculture director would lift the quarantine order that was placed on the animals in October. Medical results released last week showed all five animals are free of the dangerously contagious or infectious diseases for which they were tested. That means the animals can be returned to Marian Thompson, of Zanesville, though it’s unclear when. Once the animals are returned to Thompson, nothing in Ohio law allows state officials to check on their welfare or require improvements to conditions in which they are kept, Pitchford said.

DES MOINES, IOWA

He tried to autopsy JFK In the turbulent hours following President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, many were uncertain about what to do, but medical examiner Earl Rose knew one thing: The shooting happened in Dallas, and it was his job to do an autopsy on anyone slain in the city. Rose stood in a doorway at the hospital where Kennedy’s body was taken on Nov. 22, 1963, in a vain attempt to block Kennedy’s aides as they removed his coffin. The Secret Service and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy prevailed, and the president’s body was flown to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where an autopsy was done by pathologists James Humes and Thornton Boswell. Their findings have been used to support an array of conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s death. Rose, who died Tuesday at age 85, believed many of those theories wouldn’t have gained traction if he had been able to do his job. BURABURI, INDIA

Ferry capsizes; toll at 103

Rescuers on Tuesday had recovered 103 bodies from a turbulent northeastern river after a heavily packed ferry capsized, saying they feared that dozens of others had been swept by the current to neighboring Bangladesh. The overloaded ferry overturned and broke into two pieces in stormy weather late Monday. About 100 people were still missing Tuesday evening. Abdul Mazid, a local villager, was among grieving relatives and survivors gathered on the banks of the Brahmaputra River in Assam state. He had rushed there soon after the boat ferrying about 350 people — including his sister — capsized. UNITED NATIONS

UN says cease-fire violated The U.N. peacekeeping chief said Tuesday that U.N. military observers in Syria are reporting cease-fire violations from the government and opposition and he demanded an immediate halt to all violence. Herve Ladsous refused to say which side was responsible for the most violations. But he said the unarmed observers have documented a number of Syrian heavy weapons deployed in populated areas.

The moods of May Day Angry protests, glimpses of optimism, mark rallies around the world. By DANIEL WOOLLS Associated Press

MADRID — On the front lines of the world’s May Day protests this year, along with the traditional chants, banners and marches, a gamut of emotions flowed through the crowds: Anger. Fear. Elation. Despair. With Europe’s unemployed denouncing austerity measures, Asia’s laborers demanding higher salaries and U.S.

protesters condemning Wall Street, Tuesday’s demonstrations by hundreds of thousands were less a celebration of workers’ rights than a furious venting over spending cuts, tax hikes and soaring unemployment. The protests came just days ahead of key elections in Greece and France, whose leaders have acutely felt popular anger over policies many feel are strangling any hopes of economic recovery. The rallies reflected deep pessimism in Spain, dealing with a fragile economy is in the cross-hairs of the European debt crisis. Yet optimism and national

pride emerged too. More than 100,000 turned out in Russia for May Day rallies that celebrated Vladimir Putin’s government. And tens of thousands of workers rallied with joy in France, hoping this would be the last week of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s conservative leadership. In the U.S., protesters lined major financial institutions in the country’s most high-profile Occupy Wall Street rallies since the encampments protesting the gap between the superrich and poor came down in the fall. Crowds blocked intersections in Oakland, Calif., trying to force

businesses to shut down for not observing calls for a “general strike.” Police in riot gear faced dozens of Occupy activists marching in front of a Bank of America in New York City, chanting “Bank of America. Bad for America.” In France, tens of thousands of workers, leftists and union leaders marked May Day with glee, hoping that a presidential runoff vote Sunday will put a Socialist — Francois Hollande — at the helm for the first time since1988. Many voters fear Sarkozy will erode France’s welfare and worker protections, and see him as too friendly with the rich.

challenge ID law in court

Suit says legislation violates two state constitution’s election clauses. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG -- Pennsylvania’s tough new voter identification law was challenged in court Tuesday by 10 registered voters, including some who say they are unable to get the kind of ID now required and one woman who said she had to pay for one despite the law’s promise of a free photo ID. The lawsuit, The lawsuit filed in the state’s Com- seeks an monwealth injunction Court, said the law violates the that halts state constitu- the ention’s “free and forcement equal” elections clause of the law and another and docuclause that establishes quali- ments exfications to vote amples of in Pennsylvapeople nia. “Many other- having a wise qualified voters will face hard time great difficulty getting the or be unable to obtain the nec- free photo essary ID and ID that the will therefore state be disenfranchised in the promises upcoming genunder the eral election and future elec- law. tions,” the suit said. “As a result, far from protecting the integrity of Pennsylvania elections, the photo ID law will lead to elections that are no longer free and equal.” The lawsuit seeks an injunction that halts the enforcement of the law and documents examples of people having a hard time getting the free photo ID that the state promises under the law. Lawyers from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Public Interest Law Center of Philadelphia are helping represent the plaintiffs. Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill March 14 — one of the nation’s toughest voter ID laws — after it passed the GOP-controlled state Legislature over the objections of Democrats, the AARP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, labor unions and goodgovernment groups. Opponents of the law call it a throwback to the now-unconstitutional poll taxes and literacy tests designed to discriminate against poor and minority voters.

Murdoch ruled unfit to lead company Decision by committee of lawmakers puts media mogul’s future on the line. By DAVID STRINGER Associated Press

LONDON — A committee of British lawmakers called Rupert Murdoch unfit to run his global media empire because of the phone hacking scandal born of his defunct News of the World newspaper. The ruling Tuesday against Murdoch, his son James -- a former executive chairman of

News Corp.’s U.K. newspaper division -- and three of their executives could jeopardize Murdoch’s control of a major broadcaster, British Sky Broadcasting. Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sport committee, which scrutinizes the standards of Britain’s press and sports authorities, began an inquiry amid disclosures about widespread tabloid hacking of voice mail, concerns over bribes paid to police for scoops, and politicians who may have overstepped the bounds by cozying up to the Murdoch empire. Britain’s broadcasting regu-

lator Ofcom acknowledged it was studying the report.Ofcom, which decides if broadcasters in the U.K. are “fit and proper” to hold a license, launched an inquiry last year into British Sky Broadcasting. If the regulator was to find that News Corp. fails the test, it could be forced to divest part of its 39 percent stake, so it no longer held a controlling interest in the British broadcaster. British law offers no legal definition of what constitutes a “fit and proper” person, meaning that Ofcom must use its judgment in deciding whether executives should be trusted to

What comes next as Gingrich exits trail? Experts warn against writing off former presidential hopeful from political scene.

By RAY HENRY Associated Press

ATLANTA — As he winds down his presidential campaign, Newt Gingrich faces a new challenge: reinventing himself politically yet again. Gingrich reinvented the Republican Party in the House in 1994, leading the GOP to its first majority in 40 years and becoming speaker. Four years later, after Republicans pushed him out of House leadership and he resigned, he reinvented himself as a Republican elder focused on what he termed “big ideas” — health care, energy and space exploration — and as an able fundraiser for his political advocacy group. What could follow a run for president that saw Gingrich leading at times in national opinion polls? “I would think that this will be his last run for president,” said Sue Everhart, chairwoman of Georgia’s Republican Party, a state Gingrich represented in Congress and where he won one of his two primary victories. “There are plenty of other places that he could be helpful.” Several other Republican leaders said they expected this race to be Gingrich’s last for the presidency. He had contemplated a run in 2008 but eventually decided against it. However, Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond said it was too early to discuss what Gingrich might do in the future. “Politics is one of those funny businesses where people end up deciding at the end, not the pundits,” Hammond said. “Newt Gingrich has spent his entire career proving pundits wrong. I’m sure he’ll be happy to do so again.” A second campaign could prove even more daunting, especially when potential supporters compare his shaky campaign performance with the advantages he enjoyed at the beginning — national political experience, fundraising clout and a deep network of political contacts. Gingrich needed to court social

conservatives but was weighed down with baggage that includes three marriages and an acknowledgeGingrich ment of infidelity. He had been reprimanded by Congress after an ethics probe. A consummate insider, he tried to run as an anti-establishment candidate. The campaign was rocky from the start. After a confusing is-hein-or-not campaign announcement, Gingrich went on national TV and criticized Republican Rep. Paul Ryan’s Medicare proposal, which was popular among the party’s conservative base. Not long after, many of Gingrich’s top campaign staffers quit over disagreements on strategy and finances, a period that Gingrich later described as “painful.” And yet the former Georgia congressman bounced back with the help of strong debate performances, winning the South Carolina primary and Georgia’s a few weeks later. He hoped to win other states in the Deep South, but it never happened. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum drew away conservative support and front-runner Mitt Romney continued to rack up victories. Several GOP strategists and leaders suggested that Gingrich could still play a political role by reviving organizations he previously led that fought President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and raised millions of dollars for conservative causes. He also could return to his work as a commentator for conservative media outlets or perhaps accept a post in a Republican administration.

Former rivals want assurances Santorum, Gingrich expected to endorse Romney, but each wants something from him. By PHILIP ELLIOTT Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Rick Santorum wants to ensure the GOP’s policy platform represents conservatives’ interests. Newt Gingrich wants help retiring his campaign debt and repairing his reputation. Both Republicans are expected to endorse their former rival Mitt Romney — and signal to their backers to fall in line behind the party’s presumptive nominee — but each wants assurances that Romney will deliver for them. Neither is rushing toward the task. Meanwhile, it doesn’t appear that Rep. Ron Paul of Texas is going to go that way. Paul is still in the race and hasn’t yet recognized Romney as the party’s nominee. The tea party favorite and former Libertarian presidential nominee seems unlikely to endorse given deep differences with Romney on economic and foreign policy issues. Romney plans to meet Santorum on Friday and Gingrich plans to endorse him this week, an end-of-primary dance that happens every four years once the party settles on a nominee. Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, quit the race April 10 but has stopped short of publicly embracing Romney as the GOP’s standard bearer after a bitter primary season that featured Santorum calling Romney “the worst Republican in the country” to run against Obama. Not long after, Santorum was telling CNN’s Piers Morgan about Romney, “It’s very clear that he’s going to be the Repub-

lican nominee and I’m going to be for the Republican nominee and we’re going to do everything we can to defeat Barack Obama.” Morgan could not goad him into a proper endorsement. Gingrich all but bowed out last week, saying: “It’s clear Romney is the nominee and the focus should be on defeating Obama. We should not focus on

defeating ourselves.” He plans to officially end his campaign in the coming days and endorse Romney. Romney, for his part, has been working to bring the party together after a bruising primary season, and nods from Santorum and Gingrich could help mend those wounds. Both Santorum and Gingrich have fervent fol-

lowings among conservatives who make up the base of the party and who generally view Romney skeptically because of his positions on a host of issues. Romney has changed his position on bedrock issues such as abortion and gay rights. He supported the 2008 Wall Street bailout that angered conservatives and paved the way for the rise of the tea party. And he signed a health care overhaul as governor that provided the groundwork for Democrats’ national law that requires all Americans to buy insurance or face a fine. Romney’s health care overhaul in Massachusetts required health care coverage. That’s the primary issue Santorum plans to discuss Friday when he meets privately with Romney. “We want to make sure he doesn’t replace it with any kind of mandate,” Santorum adviser Hogan Gidley said. He added, Advisers caution that an endorsement — or a public appearance for that matter — is unlikely to immediately follow Santorum’s private meeting with Romney. Santorum is in no rush to rally to Romney’s side. People close to Santorum said deep resentment remains between the men. But he also recognizes he risks looking like a sore loser and is expected to eventually support Romney. Even so, key members of Santorum’s team have rallied behind Romney in recent weeks. Mike Biundo, Santorum’s former campaign manager, signed on with the Romney campaign in Boston to lead outreach to conservatives. Foster Friess, the driving force behind a pro-Santorum super PAC that kept his presidential ambitions afloat, has agreed to rejoin Romney’s camp.

Winners of 10th Annual Business Plan Competition announced this evening. By JOE DOLINSKY Times Leader Intern

PLAINS TWP. – The winners of the 10th Annual Business Plan Competition, sponsored by the Great Valley Technology Alliance, will walk away with pockets full of seed money after their names are announced during an awards dinner tonight at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Sponsored by more than 50 regional businesses, the competition featured four collegiate and three non-collegiate teams, each with its own vision for a new business. Having a strong focus on entrepreneurship, The Great Valley Technology Alliance’s goal is to help the development of small businesses and keep them in

Northeastern Pennsylvania. “We’re looking to grow the region by helping strengthen the local economy and one of those ways is through entrepreneurship,” alliance organizing committee member Tiffany Cross Luciani. The dinner is the culmination of weeks of preparation by teams looking to secure a first-place finish and a share of a $100,000 in prize money to help get their business idea off the ground. A winner will be chosen from both collegiate and non-collegiate teams, with each splitting the cash prize. Luciani said the winning teams also will receive many inkind services, “everything from accounting tips to strategic selling ideas to deals on office space.” A judging panel composed of local business leaders reviewed 100 business plans before choosing the seven finalists.

police with fleeing or attempting to elude police, simple assault, reckless endangerment, and four traffic offenses on April 27. Brown initiated the pursuit a day before he was scheduled to surrender on child pornography charges, which were filed on April 20. According to the criminal complaint filed by Luzerne County detectives: A mother of a 15-year-old boy reported in March that her son received harassing phone calls and text messages. She discovered a sexually explicit advertisement appeared on Craigslist, an Internet auction site, which included her son’s cell phone num-

ber. Men unknown to the family were showing up at her residence looking for her son. Investigators learned the advertisement was created on March 17 with a computer and phone number allegedly belonging to Brown, the criminal complaint says. The 15-year-old boy told investigators he met Brown on an alternative website in late February. Brown allegedly took nude photos of the boy, and sent the boy lewd pictures and videos, according to the criminal complaint. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 10 before Roberts.

KING’S COLLEGE

Developing ideas A two-day workshop in February helped teams prepare for the competition by showing them how to turn an idea into a viable project. Sponsored by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Technology Institute and in cooperation with the Northeast Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities, the Entrepreneurship Institute gave about 100 students from 10 regional schools a week to come up with a business plan. Not all seven finalists took part in the event, but EI participants went on to win the business plan competition the last three years. That’s a good omen for team “Triple Toe Turkey Calls,” which judges selected as the first-place finisher following the EI. Developed by Marywood University students Richard Powers and Jonathan Bieler, the project

employed the use of never-before-used technology to develop a completely customizable variety of turkey calls with thousands of personalized combinations. The EI runner-up was an interactive social media education platform, “Kuhcoon,” developed by University of Scranton student Andrew Torba and King’s College students Mike Toma and Charles Szymanski. Though those two teams participated in the workshop, Luciani said it’s still anybody’s competition to win. The remaining finalists are composed of collegiate teams “Cont@cts,” and “eDefined People Search,” while non-collegiate teams “Ghostrade LLC,” “Makin” Good Energy’s” and “Prova Systems” round out the final seven. “We want to keep our talented students here,” Luciani said. “That’s why we have this competition.”

OUR OPINION: TRIPLE-A BASEBALL

Hey, Lackawanna: What’s the deal?

EAR LACKAWANNA COUNTY,

Congratulations on selling the region’s minor league baseball franchise last week and simultaneously securing a decades-long commitment for a continued presence here from the New York Yankees – one of the world’s premiere sports teams. A tip of the cap to you. Now that the ink has dried on the contract, however, please at your earliest convenience send us our share of the money. That’s half, remember? By our tally, you owe us about $7.3 million. Make the check payable to “Luzerne County.” As partners in the venture that brought Triple-A baseball to Northeastern Pennsylvania about a quarter-century ago, we had a deal. According to that 1986 agreement, both counties ponied up $1 million and, in the event of the franchise’s sale, were to “share equally in the distribution of any such proceeds …” Plenty has transpired since then, not the least of which is Luzerne County’s detachment from the operation and virtual exclusion from the negotiating table. Like a ticket-less fan trying to spy the on-field action, we have been able to only sneak peeks through the fence. At least one crooked Lackawanna County commissioner supposedly hobnobbed with a representative of the Yankees a few years ago when a sale was being explored, receiving swell gifts but almost bungling everything for local baseball buffs. (Presumably, Luzerne County’s crooks were preoccupied then with schemes having nothing to do with Yankee pinstripes.) Certain people, most of whom probably live north of Avoca, will argue that Luzerne County is owed nothing from the latest transaction because of the millions that Lackawanna County paid through the years to maintain the then-multipurpose stadium. Not to split hairs, a la the late businessman George Steinbrenner, but it’s been our understanding that Luzerne County went halfsies on a franchise, not a ballpark. Upon receipt of your check, we intend to quickly put the $7.3 million to good use by retiring some debt or refurbishing a former Wilkes-Barre railroad station that could serve as a nifty visitors’ center. By all means, if we choose the latter option, we will display heaps of brochures touting the newly rebuilt PNC Field – home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees. Sincerely, Luzerne County

QUOTE OF THE DAY “My psychology is such that I can’t jump up and down.” Jon Robin Baitz The playwright whose “Other Desert Cities” on Tuesday earned five Tony nominations, including best play, joked about his understated reaction. “I suppose that makes me Jewish and of the theater,” he quipped.

OTHER OPINION: ‘BONUSGATE’

DeWeese still daft about his crime

HERE WAS MORE than a little irony when the immediate future of former Pennsylvania House Speaker H. William DeWeese was decided last week on Election Day, but not by the voters in the 50th Legislative District that he had represented for more than three decades. DeWeese, a Greene County Democrat, was sentenced by Dauphin County Court President Judge Todd Hoover to 2½ to five years in prison for his part in the so-called “Bonusgate,” in which state employees were compelled to work on the re-election campaigns of some legislators when they should have been working for the taxpayers of the commonwealth. DeWeese did not remove himself from the primary ballot in which he was running unopposed. Furthermore he indicated that he would appeal his conviction and fight to regain his seat by winning the election in EDITORIAL BOARD

November. DeWeese did apologize to his family, friends and supporters, but he refused to accept responsibility for what he was convicted of having done. The fact that so many members of the electorate continued to support a convicted felon is an indication of something we have said many times: Those who support term limits for state legislators are interested in seeing limits placed upon the senators and representatives who were elected by others. Most people are quite happy, or at least not upset, by their own elected officials, even if they prove to be scoundrels. That might explain why some longtime members of the Legislature sometimes seem to develop an attitude of entitlement, one that suggests they can do almost anything without regard to the rules of the House or Senate or the laws of the commonwealth.

A Cartwright victory could further polarize Congress MATT CARTWRIGHT’S defeat of U.S. Rep. Tim Holden in Pennsylvania’s 17th District Democratic primary last week was a spirited victory for the new liberal-leaning district. But Cartwright’s old-school Roosevelt Democratic politics will be a liability on Capitol Hill if he wins the general election in November. Cartwright benefited from Holden’s apparent indifference toward voters in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, who now represent 80 percent of the reconfigured district. Those voters are also more liberal than Holden, a “Blue Dog Democrat” whose moderate credentials consistently swayed voters from his Schuylkill County base to his side since 1992. Cartwright campaigned on a platform that included a public option in health insurance, more spending on jobs and infrastructure, and improved educational programs. Those policies are extremely attractive to the region’s voters, most of whom are living on fixed incomes or belong to the working and struggling middle classes. Just as appealing to those voters is Cartwright’s proposal to pay for the programs by raising taxes on the richest 1 percent and by making moderate cuts in military spending. Eliminate the cut in defense spending, and Cartwright is firmly rooted in the politics of Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose New Deal programs of the 1930s established a precedent in welfare spending that continues to the present day.

MAIL BAG

WILLIAM C. KASHATUS But that doesn’t mean Cartwright’s politics will be successful in Congress. Congressional approval ratings are at an all-time low, with only 9 percent in favor of the job Congress is doing. The 2011 session has been the least productive since 1995. The reason for the legislative gridlock is rigid partisanship. During the Obama administration, many members of Congress have shifted further to the right in the GOP and further to the left in the Democratic Party, making the legislative process so onerous that it’s difficult to solve any of the problems our country faces. Meanwhile, those problems are compounding. One of the reasons Holden was able to survive in Congress for 10 terms was because of his ability to break partisan ranks and work with Republicans on important legislation that included immigration reform, environmental concerns and job creation. Cartwright, who prides himself on his rigidly liberal credentials, might only add to the gridlock if he prevails in November. His advocacy of deficit-spending to create more jobs – another FDR trait – could ensure that the acrimony between both parties will continue at a time when the federal budget is already bloated. Another reason Holden was able to hold onto his congressional seat was due to his seniority. As the senior Pennsylvania mem-

ber serving on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, he had a significant influence on the legislation that came out of the committee and was often able to secure passage. If Cartwright is elected to Congress, he will be starting at ground zero with only two years to prove himself and a constituency that demands immediate results. Unless he’s appointed to a committee in which he can make an immediate impact, his chances of success are limited. The power and influence of seniority in the U.S. House of Representatives should not be underestimated, particularly in Northeastern Pennsylvania which historically has benefited from the billions of dollars channeled here by such legendary pork barrelers as Daniel Flood and Joseph McDade. While some people might question the methods of those former congressmen, it’s difficult to deny that they were among the region’s most effective politicians because of their seniority and bipartisanship. Matt Cartwright strikes me as a man who will earnestly fight for the needs and interests of his constituents. But that’s not enough to achieve success on Capitol Hill. William C. Kashatus, of Hunlock Creek, is author of “Dapper Dan Flood: The Controversial Life of a Congressional Powerbroker.” He can be contacted at bill@historylive.net.

LETTERS FROM READERS

Hypocrisy, half-truths abound about abortion

COMMENTARY

Cartwright, who prides himself on his rigidly liberal credentials, might only add to the gridlock if he prevails in November.

y 2014 the Obama health care plan will force all taxpayers to pay a surcharge to cover abortions, not only if one does not want an abortion, but even if one is incapable of having an abortion (i.e., if one is male, or a female beyond child-bearing years). Email or call your state representative or senator at either a Harrisburg or district office and ask him or her to support Senate Bill 3, which would allow Pennsylvania to opt out of this unjust requirement. While you’re at it, ask your state representative and senator to support HB 1077, the “Women’s Right To Know” bill, which would give the option for a woman considering an abortion to view an ultrasound of the baby in her womb. This bill would not force any woman to view an ultrasound. Abortionists routinely use the ultrasound themselves, to see exactly where in

the womb the baby is, so they can accurately stab the baby with their fatal saline injection or use their other fatal “tools of the trade.” Why is Planned Parenthood opposed to a woman viewing an ultrasound in the interests of informed consent, but not opposed to the abortionists routinely using it? The hypocrisy of Planned Parenthood is amazing.

Taxing rich won’t solve all the world’s tragedies

t age 14, my father was injured in a coal mine accident, a tragedy for our family. Many parents’ sons and daughters serve in the military and are killed in defense of their country: a tragedy. Massive flooding, tornados and hurricanes cause so much pain in people’s lives: a tragedy. Thousands of Americans are victims of vicious crimes: a tragedy. The rich, middle class and the poor are victims of tragedy. Tragedy crosses over party and racial lines. If you listen to President Obama, taxing the rich will eliminate the tragedy in the trial-and-error adventure on this planet Earth, but he is only misleading the people. Would more money save the tragedy in his own family adventure? I don’t think so. George J. Kochis Kingston

lars by Lupas. U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith said the complaints filed by other clients are part of an ongoing investigation of Lupas. He declined to say if a second indictment adding additional victims might be filed. Federal law allows prosecutors to seek an amended indictment, which is known as a “superseding indictment.” Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, was initially arrested on March 29 on one count of mail fraud. The original complaint alleges Lupas had been defrauding investors since January 1993. Lupas is a prominent area attorney who served as solicitor for the Wilkes-Barre Area School District for decades before resigning last month. His son, Luzerne County Judge David Lupas, has said he reported his father to authorities in the fall of 2011 after he became aware of “circumstances” he believed warranted an investigation. A motion filed by Ruzzo on April 4 indicates Anthony Lupas is attempting to work out a plea deal with prosecutors. The motion sought to continue a preliminary hearing that was set for April 11 before a federal judge, who would determine if there was sufficient evidence for the case to go to trial. Ruzzo requested that hearing

Skrep declines comment Skrepenak said through a receptionist at the law firm that he is not allowed to speak to the media under the terms of his confinement. Later, when he was getting off the elevator at the Kirby Park Commons building, Skrepenak was dressed in workout clothes and carrying a duffle bag. “Can’t you guys just leave me alone already?” is all he would say. Fellerman said he met with Bureau of Prisons representative Irene Clark on Tuesday to go over the terms of Skrepenak’s confinement. Fellerman described Skrepenak’s position as a legal assistant/case manager who performs research. He said Skrepenak works Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and cannot leave the building. “Part of my day and Eddie’s, too, is getting lunch for (Skrepenak),” Fellerman said. “He also has been changing a lot of light bulbs – he just reaches up to get them; he doesn’t need a ladder.” Skrepenak, at 6-foot-8, appears to have lost weight during his incarceration. Fellerman said Skrepenak has dropped about 125 pounds. The Fellerman & Ciarimboli firm does personal injury work. Fellerman said Skrepenak has been researching trucking manuals to aid with a case. “We’ve known (Skrepenak) a long time,” Fellerman said. “My wife was in his wedding and my brother-in-law played football with him at GAR.”

Skrepenak was released from the federal prison in West Virginia and taken to a halfway house in Philadelphia earlier this year. Skrepenak, a Democrat, resigned his county position in December 2009, midway through his second, four-year term and a day before he was charged. A standout offensive lineman, Skrepenak played at the University of Michigan and then for five years in the National Football League for the Carolina Panthers and Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders.

This arrangement allows him to be with his family.” Fellerman said Skrepenak wants to move forward and has been humbled by the experience. “Life is about second chances,” Ciarimboli said. “Prison is about rehabilitation. We have no problem giving him this opportunity to begin to get on with his life.” Ciarimboli said the Luzerne County corruption scandal has left an indelible black mark on the county and its people. He said it’s time for the healing process to begin. “The entire community needs to heal,” he said. “Those affected have learned from their mistakes. We have to allow them to re-enter society and become productive citizens again.” Fellerman agreed, saying the county has to move away from ‘Sorry for his mistake’ its recent headline-filled past. “Luzerne County hit rock bot“A lot of people make mistakes,” Fellerman said. “Greg is tom,” Fellerman said. “We all sorry for his mistake and he is need to rise up.”

Skrepenak will end his work at the law firm on June 12, the scheduled date of his release. He will then look for a new job. “He can do very well,” Ciarimboli said. “This has been a positive crossroad for him.”

troops in 2014. Obama said American forces will be involved in counter-terrorism and training of the Afghan military. “But we will not build permanent bases in this country, nor will we be patrolling its cities and mountains.” In his speech to the nation, Obama said, “I recognize many Americans are tired of war.” He said that last year, “we removed 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan. Another 23,000 will leave by the end of the summer. After that, reductions will continue at a steady pace, with more of our troops coming home. And as our coalition agreed, by the end of 2014 the Afghans will be fully responsible for the security of their country.” Without mentioning the political campaign back home, Obama claimed that on his watch the fortunes of the terrorists have suffered mightily. Over the past three years “the tide has turned. We broke the Taliban’s momentum. We’ve built

strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al-Qaida’s leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders,” he said. “And one year ago, from a base here in Afghanistan, our troops launched the operation that killed Osama bin laden.” In a reference to the destruction of New York’s World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, he added, “As we emerge from a decade of conflict abroad and economic crisis at home, it is time to renew America ... a united America of grit and resilience, where sunlight glistens off soaring new towers in downtown Manhattan, and we build our future as one people, as one nation.” He spoke for less than 15 minutes, beginning at 4 a.m. in Afghanistan, 7:30 p.m. on the East Coast of the United States. Minutes later, Air Force One was on its way back to Washington. According to the Pentagon, more than 1,800 American troops have been killed across more than a decade of war in Af-

ghanistan. Some 88,000 remain stationed there. Obama flew to the site of America’s longest war not only as commander in chief but also as an incumbent president in the early stages of a tough re-election campaign. Nor were the two roles completely distinct. His presence was a reminder that since taking office in 2009, Obama has ended the war in Iraq and moved to create an orderly end for the U.S. combat role in Afghanistan. In the political realm, he and Vice President Joe Biden have marked the one-year anniversary of bin Laden’s death by questioning whether Republican challenger Mitt Romney would have ordered the daring raid that penetrated the terrorist leader’s Pakistan hide-out. Republicans are accusing the president of politicizing the event, and Romney is insisting that he would indeed have ordered U.S. forces into action.

Ruzzo and Flora have not been paid any money yet for their representation of Ciavarella, who was convicted in February 2011 of multiple counts relating to his acceptance of money from the builder of two juvenile detention centers the county utilized. He was sentenced in August to 28 years in prison. The attorneys had been seeking payment through a federal indigent defense fund. Kosik said he was reluctant to approve the request because he knew Ciavarella’s pension contributions were available. “I just felt it was an affront to taxpayers to pay money when there is an uncontested amount of money that belongs to Ciavarella,” Kosik said.

be postponed, noting that he was in discussions with prosecutors to resolve the case and needed more time to continue those discussions. The case was again set to go to preliminary hearing today. Prosecutors instead presented the case to a grand jury, which issued the indictment following an approximately 1½-hour closed-door hearing. The indictment charges Lupas with mail fraud for sending five letters through the mail that falsely state the client was receiving payments from the “trust fund.” The letters were mailed between December 2007 and December 2011. Several attorneys, including Ernest Preate of Scranton, have filed lawsuits in Luzerne County Court against Lupas, alleging he bilked their clients out of money based on the same scenario outlined in the indictment. In addition to the trust fund, Lupas allegedly defrauded investors by falsely telling them they were investing in a secret fund that would back gas drilling operations on land owned by area business magnate Louis DeNaples, Preate has alleged in court records. Preate said there was no such fund and DeNaples was unaware his name was being used by Lupas. Lupas remains free pending arraignment on the indictment. No date has yet been set for the arraignment.

Kosik acknowledged taxpayers will ultimately end up paying the legal fees either way. If the attorneys collect from the pension money, that reduces the amount available to go toward restitution. If they don’t get the pension money, they will be eligible to seek payment from the indigent defense fund. “Taxpayers are going to pay anyway, but the law says a defendant has a Sixth Amendment right to hire his own counsel, who has a right to be paid by unencumbered funds,” Kosik said. Ruzzo said he does not know yet how much money he and Flora will seek as they need to review their records to determine how many hours they spent on the case. Federal regulations cap the total payment for a felony trial to $9,700, but a judge can approve a higher limit in complex cases such as Ciavarella’s, Ruzzo said. Ruzzo said he and Flora will present an invoice to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to see if they can reach an agreement on the fees. If no agreement can be reached, the issue would be decided by Kosik. Ruzzo and Flora also are representing Ciavarella in his appeal of his conviction to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

WILKES-BARRE – As the final minutes ticked off Tuesday, Coughlin keeper Amanda Sax had to be ready as Berwick worked frantically for a tying goal. Twice before, she had made diving saves only to have the Dawgs hustle to score on followup shots. But as midfielder Nora Fazzi thwarted Berwick’s last chance by COUGHLIN launching the ball down field, Sax and her Crusaders teamBERWICK mates were able to hold on for a 3-2 victory in a key Wyoming Valley Conference Division 1-A girls soccer game. Coughlin (7-2-1) took over sole possession of third place in the division. Berwick (6-3-1) dropped to fourth. But those two teams – along with first-place Dallas (10-0) and second-place Crestwood (7-2) – locked up all the division’s District 2 playoff berths. “It’s always intense,” Sax said of the waning minutes where Berwick pushed everyone into the offensive side of the field. “Everyone picks up their game. So there’s a lot of pressure on you.” Even more so considering the unfortunate luck Sax had on Berwick’s two scores. She jumped hard to her left to deflect shots by Berwick’s Brianna Floryshak. The first ricochet went right to Jade Welsh, who tied the score 1-1 early in the second half. The other went to Gabby Kishbaugh, who scored her first goal of the season to move Berwick within 3-2 with just under 13 minutes remaining. On that one, Sax tried to crawl to the deflection, but Kishbaugh won the battle. “You just got to tell yourself not to blame it on yourself,” Sax said. “You just have to get the next save and the next save. Try not to let anymore in.” Finding the net had been a problem for Coughlin in its last three games with Berwick. The

WBS goalie stops 34, but offense sputters By ROBIN SHORT For The Times Leader

ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins received outstanding goaltending from Brad Thiessen, but his teammates failed to provide much support as the St. John’s IceCaps skated away with a 3-1 win in the opening game of their second-round Calder Cup playoff series Tuesday

night. Thiessen held up his end of the bargain for the visiting Pens, stopping 34 shots, including 20 in the opening 20 minutes. Problem is, the Penguins managed only one goal, that by veteran Cal O’Reilly on a firstperiod power play. “For sure, he kept us in the game in the first period,” said Penguins coach John Hynes of

Thiessen. “If it wasn’t for him, with the way we started, we could have been down by multiple goals. “He played well and gave us a chance to win. We didn’t grab hold of that opportunity.” Brock Trotter, a late-season addition by St. John’s who was limited to only 42 games this year, netted a pair of goals for the IceCaps, before a 41st

straight sellout crowd of 6,287 at Mile One Centre. Garth Murray added an insurance marker with just under two minutes to go in regulation time. The Pens and IceCaps were fairly even through the regular season, with Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton taking a pair of games See PENS, Page 6B

“And it was just a matter of keeping it going in the third, and the goals came.” Bryzgalov had a brutal first five games of the postseason and allowed 20 goals against Pittsburgh. But he shut down the Penguins in the Game 6 clincher — a 5-1 win — and allowed three goals in the Game 1 victory against the Devils. He appeared to have turned the corner.

it for the Hawkeyes. Tuesday’s 5-4 walk-off HANOVER win against Lake-LehAREA man earned them a season sweep of the Black Knights, kept them unLAKE-LEHMAN beaten at 7-0 and put them in prime position to capture the WVC Division II championship. Lehman had grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth and then went up 4-2 in

HANOVER TWP. — Two Lake-Lehman outfielders sprinted toward the ball as it sailed into right-center. The ball had other ideas. Matt Kocher’s shot to the outfield fell just in between the diving fielders and suddenly it was Hanover Area players doing the running and diving, spilling out of the home dugout to jump on a celebratory pile at third base. It may not have been a formal division title win for them, but it certainly felt like See HAWKEYES , Page 4B

Another former Wyoming Valley Conference football standout will be getting a crack at making an NFL roster. Hazleton Area’s Nate Eachus, the Times Leader Player of the Year in 2007, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent. The All-American running back from Colgate and Patriot League Player of the Year agreed to join the Chiefs shortly after the completion of the NFL Draft on Saturday night. His contract was finalized Monday. “It’s been my dream my whole life, and now that it has come Eachus true it’s turning into a reality,” said Eachus, who finished his career third on Colgate’s all-time rushing list. “You want to stay humble, but at the same time don’t let anything back. Now isn’t the time to be timid. You have to be aggressive and confident in yourself.” On Sunday, former Crestwood star and Rhode Island guard Kyle Bogumil signed with the Miami Dolphins after not being selected in the draft. Eachus finished his Colgate career with 4,485 rushing yards and 53 rushing touchdowns, which also ranked third on the Red Raiders’ alltime list. The 5-foot-10, 212-pounder, though, knows he’ll also have to impress the Chiefs with his special teams play. It’s a similar path another former local star, Dallas graduate Greg Manusky, took back in 1987 to go from Colgate to the NFL. Manusky excelled on special teams and played for 12 years before joining the NFL coaching ranks. “I’m going to try to get on as many special teams I can and make a statement, show the coaches what I can do,” Eachus said. Eachus worked out for NFL personnel in March at Colgate’s pro day. He turned in impressive numbers for a running back, running the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds and bench pressing 225 pounds 24 times. Eachus will head to Kansas City on May 9 and participate in the rookie mini-camp May 11-13. He’ll stay there until June 29. He’ll then have a break before training camp opens in late July.

first two games of this threegame series. The Astros had lost six consecutive series entering Monday. Cardinals 10, Pirates 7

ST. LOUIS — Adam Wainwright worked seven solid innings for his first win since September 2010, and the St. Louis Cardinals got big nights at the plate from David Freese and Matt Holliday to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-7 on Tuesday. Freese’s sixth home run and third in five games was a tiebreaking, three-run shot off Charlie Morton (1-2) in the fifth. Holliday homered in the sixth off Jared Hughes to cap a three-hit night with two RBIs. ATLANTA — John Mayberry Jr. doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Tuesday night in the first meeting of the season between the NL East rivals. After Brandon Beachy gave up only two runs in seven innings to outlast Phillies starter Cole Hamels, the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with two runs against left-hander Jonny Venters (2-1).

Orioles’ Showalter earns his 1,000th win NEW YORK — Buck Showalter got his 1,000th victory as a major league manager, Brian Matusz ended his 11-month losing streak and the Baltimore Orioles beat the New York Yankees 7-1 Tuesday night. Chris Davis and J.J. Hardy homered off struggling Phil Hughes, giving the Orioles their first win in five tries against the Yankees this year. Showalter, whose first win came 20 years ago across the street at old Yankee Stadium when New York’s Scott Sanderson beat Boston ace Roger Clemens, improved to 1,000958 in 14 seasons with the Yankees, Arizona, Texas and Baltimore. He joined Dusty Baker, Bruce Bochy, Davey Johnson, Jim Leyland, Mike Scioscia and Bobby Valentine among active managers in the 1,000-win club. Rays 3, Mariners 1

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Matt Joyce had two of Tampa Bay’s three hits, including a solo homer and RBI triple, to help the surging Tampa Bay Rays beat the Seattle Mariners for their ninth victory in 10 games.

Then came the final period. Kovalchuk’s injury opened a roster spot for Larsson, a rookie defenseman, to be activated. Larsson was a first-round pick last year, and is just 19 years old. He had two goals and 18 points in his first NHL season, but had not played a playoff game yet.

DETROIT — Austin Jackson had four hits and Rick Porcello pitched eight strong innings to lead the Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals. Blue Jays 8, Rangers 7

TORONTO — Brett Lawrie hit a walkoff home run in the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Texas Rangers. After Francisco Cordero blew a save opportunity in the top of the ninth, Lawrie won it in the bottom half with a leadoff homer against Mike Adams, a shot that bounced off the top of the wall in left center, his third. Athletics 5, Red Sox 3

BOSTON — Jarrod Parker scattered four hits over 6 2-3 innings and picked up his first Major League win as the Oakland Athletics stopped a threegame losing streak by beating the Boston Red Sox. Jemile Weeks ended on 0-for-12 slump with a leadoff single and finished 2-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored for the A’s. Larsson’s shot from the circle beat Bryzgalov on his glove side early in the third for the tying goal. “Down a goal, third period, and it was huge,” DeBoer said of the rookie’s goal. “I feel great for Larsson. He’s been out a few games, and he responded.” Clarkson made it 2-1 minutes later when he scored off a rebound. The Devils won the faceoff and Zach Parise was stuffed with a pad save. Clarkson then

1917 — Fred Toney of the Cincinnati Reds and Hippo Vaughn of the Chicago Cubs pitched a double no-hitter for nine innings, but the Reds won 1-0 on two hits in the 10th. Jim Thorpe drove in the winning run. 1923 — Walter Johnson recorded his first shutout of the season and the 100th of his major league record 113 career shutouts as the Washington Senators defeated the New York Yankees 3-0. Yankees shortstop Everett Scott received a medal from the American League for playing in his 1,000th consecutive game. Today’s birthday: Erasmo Ramirez 22; Neftali Feliz 24; Jarrod Saltalamacchia 27.

crashed the net to knock in the puck and fly gut-first into the crossbar. He lay on top of the net briefly as his teammates mobbed him. Bryzgalov slammed his stick in frustration after the goal. Zajac’s fifth goal of the postseason on a backhander made it 3-1 and gave the Devils the insurance goal they needed. “I really felt we’d respond like this,” DeBoer said. “I knew we’d be better than Game 1. Knew

we’d bounce back. We’ve dealt with adversity and injuries all year. It’s nothing new.” Bryzgalov shook his head and remained motionless on his knees for at least a minute after Zajac’s goal. He was still down on one knee for the faceoff before he finally stood up and got his head back into the game. He clearly wasn’t happy about the goals. And he was probably angry with Philadelphia’s offensive ineptness, as well.

At the end of the game, Claude Giroux stopped Bryzgalov for a brief chat before he was greeted by the rest of the team. Giroux has emerged as the leader of the team and whatever he was telling the goalie, Bryzgalov seemed to agree with, mostly nodding his head. The Flyers entered with an NHL postseason-high 34 goals but failed to generate much offense after a move-the-puck first 10 minutes.

Read scored from a tough angle outside the circle to beat Brodeur for the fast 1-0 lead. But it didn’t hold up. Not even Giroux and Danny Briere could spark the Flyers. Each tick of the clock in the second period was like watching a no-hitter to see if the Flyers would finally put the puck on Brodeur. With 1:27 left in the period, the Flyers broke through for a shot and they only took one more.

Walsh’s 3 wins lead Comets over Dawgs

Yankees come back to beat Rochester

The Times Leader staff

BERWICK—Jacob Walsh placed first in three events to lead Crestwood to an 89-61 victory over Berwick on the road on Tuesday afternoon in a boys track and field meet. Walsh took the 110 hurdles with a time of 16.8 seconds before winning the 300 hurdles (48.2) and the high jump (5-foot-10). Brendon Cope led the Bulldogs with a victory in the 800 (2:02.6) and was a member of the winning team in the 1,600 relay.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre trailed Rochester by one run on Tuesday night. So, that means the Yankees had the Red Wings right where they wanted. The Yankees overcame that slim deficit with five unanswered runs to pick up a 5-2 victory at Frontier Field for their 13th win of the season and ninth in comefrom-behind fashion. The big inning of the night for the Yankees was the bottom of the ninth when the Yankees broke a 1-1 tie. They scored the go-ahead run on a Dewayne Wise single and an insurance run on an ensuing error. But the big hit of the frame came from Steve Pearce, who belted a three-run home run. His third of the season sailed over the left field wall to put SWB ahead 5-1. The Red Wings scored a run in the ninth and loaded the bases with two outs against SWB closer Kevin Whelan, but the righthander struck out former Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Baron Joe Thurston to end the game. Pearce (2-for-4) was also a part of the first run of the game for the Yankees. Trailing 1-0 entering the bottom of the seventh, he doubled to start the inning. Jack Cust followed with a single to put runners on first and third and Pearce came around to score when Francisco Cervelli hit into a double play to even the score at 1-1. Rochester went ahead 1-0 in the top of the fifth when Rene Rivera (2-for-4) singled with one out and scored when the next batter, Ben Revere (3-for-5) doubled to score Rivera. For the second time in 14 days, the Yankees couldn’t solve Red Wings pitcher Daryl Thompson. He was cruising until the seventh only allowing just one hit and four baserunners through six innings. A Jayson Nix single in the fourth was the lone hit to that point. But he appeared to be tiring and was lifted after Cust’s single in the seventh. His last time out against the Yankees he lasted five innings and only gave up one run. Adam Warren pitched well for the Yankees coming off a not-sogood outing his last time out when he surrendered five runs and three home runs in a no-decision at Pawtucket. On Tuesday, he only gave up one run and six hits in five innings. Rochester Revere rf Dozier ss Tosoni lf Carson dh Benson cf Thurston 2b Rizzotti 1b Bates 1b Chang 3b Rivera c

Pettitte to get at least 1 more start in minors NEW YORK (AP) — While Andy Pettitte was testifying in a Washington, D.C., courthouse, the New York Yankees said he’ll get at least one more start in the minor leagues before rejoining their starting rotation. Yankees manager Joe Girardi spoke with the 39-year-old lefthander on Monday, just before Pettitte gave up six runs and 10 hits in 52⁄3 innings against Philadelphia in an extended spring training game at Clearwater, Fla. Pettitte then traveled to Washington, where he was called by prosecutors to testify in the trial of former Yankees and Houston Astros teammate Roger Clemens.

the seventh, only to have Hanover Area fire back in the home half of the frame each time. Held to just two hits in the first six innings, the Hawkeyes came up with five in the bottom of the seventh for the win as Kocher deposited an 0-2 pitch into the gap to end the game. “I can’t even breathe,” joked Hanover Area coach Mike Zapotoski, still worked up after the game. “I almost died out there.” Zach Kollar and Christian Pack lead off the bottom of the seventh with singles when Mike Sulcoski came through with a base hit of his own to pull the Hawks within 4-3. After a flyout, Nick Deno tied it up with an RBI single. The Black Knights loaded the bases with an intentional walk to set up a potential double play. A fly ball to shallow center wasn’t deep enough for the runner to tag up, but Kocher made his last swing count on the next at-bat. That clutch hit gave the Hawkeyes a 11⁄2-game lead over Lehman in the standings. The Knights (6-2) would need to win out and hope for Hanover Area to drop two of their final five games just to force a playoff for the division crown, a scenario Mark LeValley conceded was unlikely. “The league title seems to be a little bit out of reach now at two games behind, but our goals are set on the district tournament,” the Lake-Lehman coach said. “They’ve always

been set on the district tournament – that’s our main goal. We’re still striving for that.” Leadoff man Cole Barbacci had produced a run through hustle to start the seventh for the Knights, reaching on a perfect drag bunt. He later took second over confusion on a dead ball call that was retracted before stealing third and scoring when the throw went into left field. Pete Borum added an RBI single to make it 4-2. Hanover Area coaches were irate over the dead ball that wasn’t called along with a disputed safe call at first base in the fourth that brought home a run for the Knights. But the young Hawkeyes lineup shook it off – along with a pair of deficits – to earn the win. “They’ve grown up,” Zapotoski said. “In a game like this, being down two in the last (inning), they could have easily

Had a couple mishaps here or there, but they fought through it and came back against two solid pitchers to win the game.” Hawkeyes ace Mickey Ferrence went the distance for his fifth league win of the season, striking out seven and walking three – two intentionally. Sulcoski reached base in all four plate appearances, finishing with two hits and two walks. Tyler McGovern gave up just two hits in five innings for the Knights, striking out eight but walking six. He was 2-for-4 at the plate with a double and scored on a Curt Barbacci single in the fourth. Mike Blazaskie hit a two-run single in the bottom of the fourth for Hanover Area. It was the second straight dramatic win for the Hawkeyes over the Knights this season, having won 4-2 in eight innings up at Lehman in their league opener. This time, however, LakeLehman came away from the game with a positive outlook. “Absolutely,” LeValley said. “It was a much cleaner game. We had a couple errors … but overall, we’re playing much better now than that first meeting.

KENTUCKY DERBY

CLEMENS PERJURY TRIAL

Creative Cause could create win

Pettitte recalls HGH talk with Clemens

Trained by Mike Harrington, gray-roan colt is flying under the radar for Saturday’s race. By BETH HARRIS AP Racing Writer

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Mike Harrington is content watching the hubbub of Kentucky Derby week from afar. The 71-year-old trainer is happily tucked away in a non-descript barn that lacks even the teeniest view of Churchill Downs’ magnificent Twin Spires. Let the visitors be entertained by Bob Baffert’s jokes or eavesdrop on Todd Pletcher’s training tidbits. Harrington prefers laying low with Creative Cause, likely to be one of the top betting choices for Saturday’s race. The gray-roan colt has never finished out of the money in any of his eight career races, posting four wins, two seconds and two thirds. He’s among the best of five strong California-based horses in the expected 20-horse field. Of course, Baffert and Pletcher hold their usual strong hand, with two Derby horses each. Harrington has but one. “This is probably two derbies for me,” he said Tuesday. “It’s my first and my last.” He certainly has the pedigree to be here. Harringtonfollowedhisfather, grandfather and great-grandfather into the business, starting out training and racing quarter horses at bush tracks as a teenager. Later, he became a veterinarian and worked the racetracks until returning to training full time nearly 20 years ago. Creative Cause is the best horse he’s ever had.

“Everybody grows up dreaming of going to the Kentucky Derby and most people realize they’re probaHarrington bly never going to make it, and I never thought I would make it,” he said. “You got guys like Baffert and Pletcher who have most of them (horses), so for a little guy like me it’s pretty rewarding.” The colt is owned by Heinz Steinmann, an 80-year-old credited with bringing skiing to California from his native Switzerland. He owns Mountain High resort in Wrightwood, Calif., located in the mountains north of Los Angeles. He’s been Harrington’s main client for years and the two teamed to run Swiss Yodeler, who won some of California’s biggest stakes races and was a wellknown stallion in the late 1990s. Creative Cause has mixed it up on the Derby prep trail with Baffert’s top colt, Bodemeister, and trainer Doug O’Neill’s I’ll Have Another. He beat Bodemeister to win the San Felipe Stakes, and lost by a nose to I’ll Have Another in the Santa Anita Derby last month. As a 2-year-old, Creative Cause beat I’ll Have Another in the Best Pal Stakes and last fall finished third behind Derby rivals Hansen and Union Rags in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs. “He falls under the radar, which I like. I don’t want him to be the favorite, I don’t want everybody talking about him,” Harrington said. “Everybody should be talking about Bodemeister, although my horse outrun him. Everybody should be talking about I’ll Have Another, although I out-

run him also. Those three horses have traded punches, so who knows?” Bodemeister, along with Hansen and Trinniberg, is expected to set a fast pace in the 1 1-4-mile Derby. Creative Cause likes to tuck in behind the leaders and stalk the pace. I’ll Have Another has good speed, but usually pushes the pace rather than sets it. O’Neill figures I’ll Have Another could lag in the middle of the pack. “You just need to be running through the stretch,” O’Neill said. “It’s not so much how fast you’re running early but if you can stay out of trouble and have horse to run down the lane, you got a chance.”

Creative Cause has trained well on Churchill’s dirt track since arriving from Los Angeles. Harringtonfigureshe’llpushhim a bit harder on Friday to take the edge off so the colt won’t be too high-strung on Saturday, when more than 100,000 screaming fans will be on hand to watch him and the other Derby horses walk from the barn to the paddock. “It’s a damn long ways over there,” said Harrington, who may skip the procession that some trainers say makes for an indelible Derby memory. “My main focus is being able to perform in the paddock and get the saddle on him. If the horse gets there 20 minutes before I do, what good am I going to be?”

WASHINGTON — Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens sat some 20 feet apart, Pettitte on the witness stand and Clemens at the defense table trying to avoid going to jail. The topic: a conversation Pettitte recalled having with his longtime teammate, mentor and workout partner about a dozen years ago. “Roger had mentioned to me that he had taken HGH,” Pettitte testified, referring to human growth hormone. “And that it could help with recovery, and that’s really all I remember about the conversation.” It’s a conversation that Clemens has famously claimed that Pettitte “misremembers.” The right-hander on trial who won 354 major league games and the lefty on the stand with 240 wins had an awkward reunion Tuesday, Day 8 in the retrial of charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone. Pettitte’s appearance enlivened the proceedings and came without warning. The government interrupted the testimony

of the trial’s first witness to call Pettitte as the clock was about to hit noon. Wearing a gray suit, he walked into court a day after allowing six runs and 10 hits with eight strikeouts over 5 2⁄3 innings in an extended spring training game in Clearwater, Fla., as part his comeback attempt at age 39 with the New York Yankees. Pettitte testified mostly with his hands clasped in front of him and rarely looked at Clemens, even during the lengthy delays when lawyers held conferences at the judge’s bench. Clemens frequently took notes. The two haven’t spoken recently because of the trial, but Pettitte nevertheless said he found it difficult to testify because he still considers Clemens a good friend. Pettitte is crucial to a government case that will otherwise rely heavily on the testimony of Brian McNamee, who worked as a strength coach for both Clemens and Pettitte and has said he injected both men with performance-enhancing substances. The government showed the jury photos of the three working out together in Texas during happier times — “Mac, Roger and me,” as Pettitte put it.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Andy Pettitte took the stand Tuesday in the retrial of Roger Clemens on charges that Clemens lied when he told Congress in 2008 that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone.

in St. John’s. The IceCaps returned the favor on the Penguins back in Pennsylvania. In terms of numbers, this series may be too close to call. St. John’s finished with 95 points to WilkesBarre/Scranton’s 94, outscored the Pens by only five goals, while the Penguins allowed one fewer goal than the IceCaps. That said, it was all IceCaps early on Tuesday night, forcing the play to the Penguins and making Thiessen dip into his bag of tricks for a number of quality saves. “He’s been pretty good in the playoffs,” Hynes said, “but this is the first time he’s had this many shots, this many Grade A opportunities that he’s had to come up big for us. “In the last series (against the Hersey Bears), we didn’t play as loose defensively and he didn’t have to make as many big saves.” The game stood 1-0 after the first period on O’Reilly’s fourth goal of the post-season, a power play tally at the 4:42 mark with Jason Williams and Colin McDo-

nald drawing the assists. “But it was a false lead,” Hynes said. “We got one, but they dictated the pace of play. They were playing really well. “If we didn’t turn our own game around, it was just a matter of time before they scored. When you’re playing the right way and doing the right things, you’re going to hang on to it (lead).” Trotter evened things at 7:25 of the second period, getting behind the Penguins defense and slipping the puck past Thiessen’s outstretched right leg on a partial breakaway. He was sprung loose again in the third period, netting the game-winner at 2:27, this time going to his forehand to beat Thiessen on a play similar to his first goal. “They played a very good game,” Hynes said. “They play a certain way, and they dictated how the game was going to go. “We need to make a couple of adjustments, first and foremost, and find a way to play better in all areas.” Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinal resumes 6 o’clock this evening. The series shifts to Wilkes-Barre Township for Games 3, 4 and, if necessary, 5 Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday.

76ers pull away in 3rd, beat Rose-less Chicago The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Jrue Holiday scored 26 points, Lou Williams added 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat Chicago 109-92 on Tuesday night to even their first-round series in the Bulls’ first game since Derrick Rose’s season-ending knee injury. The superstar point guard received a standing ovation and waved to the crowd as he limped onto the court to present the game ball, then watched from a suite as the 76ers simply blitzed the Bulls in the third quarter. They outscored Chicago 36-14 in the period, turning an eight-point deficit into an 83-69 lead, and pulled even with the league’s top-seeded team. Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia. Holiday was 11 of 15 from the field, and the Sixers shot 59 percent overall. Williams came up big, going 8 of 13 after hitting just 1 of 6 shots in the opener, and Chicago product Evan Turner chipped in with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists.

Joakim Noah led the Bulls with 21 points and eight rebounds. John Lucas III scored 15 points, but Carlos Boozer scored just nine and Luol Deng finished with eight. More alarming, the Bulls simply couldn’t stop the Sixers, particularly in the third quarter. Turner scored 11 points in the period, and Philadelphia wiped out a 55-47 deficit. Celtics 87, Hawks 80 ATLANTA — Paul Pierce battled through another tough shooting night to score 36 points and the Boston Celtics wiped out Atlanta’s 11-point lead in the second half even without Rajon Rondo, stunning the Hawks 87-80 on Tuesday in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs. The series is tied 1-1. Game 3 is Friday night in Boston, and Rondo will be back for the Celtics in that one, his shorthanded team having claimed the home-court edge. The stellar point guard sat out a one-game suspension for bumping an official in the opener.

Factory growth signals stronger economy

Newspaper circulation higher on digital sales

WASHINGTON — U.S. manufacturing grew last month at the fastest pace in 10 months, suggesting the economy is healthier than recent data had indicated. New orders, production and a measure of hiring all rose. The April survey from the Institute for Supply Management was a hopeful sign ahead of Friday’s monthly jobs report and helped the Dow Jones industrial average end the day at its highest level in more than four years. The trade group of purchasing managers said Tuesday that its index of manu-

tice, said large manufacturers are driving U.S. growth. They are pushing their suppliers to boost output, which has led many to hire more workers. Large companies are also helping smaller companies in their supply chain, Bergmann said, by guaranteeing a certain level of orders or helping smaller companies obtain financing to expand. “There’s just a tremendous trickledown effect in these industries,” Bergmann said. “That’s a very positive trend that we think will continue.” Factories account for only about 9 percent of total payrolls but added 13 percent of the new jobs last year.

ics, said in a note to clients. “We think the latest recovery is made of sterner stuff, although we doubt it will set the world alight.” A measure of employment in the ISM’s survey rose to a 10-month high. That indicates that factories are hiring at a solid pace. A gauge of new orders jumped to its highest level in a year. That could signal faster production in the coming months. Export orders also rose, offsetting worries that weaker economies in Europe and China could drag on U.S. exports. Rich Bergmann, managing director of Accenture’s global manufacturing prac-

facturing activity reached 54.8 in April, the highest level since June. Readings above 50 indicate expansion. The ISM manufacturing index is closely watched in part because it’s the first major economic report for each month. April’s big gain followed a series of weaker reports in recent weeks that showed hiring slowed, applications for unemployment benefits rose and factory output dropped. “This survey will ease concerns that the softer tone of the incoming news in recent months marked the start of a renewed slowdown in growth,” Paul Dales, an economist at Capital Econom-

Circulation at the nation’s newspapers edged higher for the six months ended March 31, according to preliminary figures released Tuesday by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The increases of .68 percent daily and 5 percent Sunday were driven by gains in digital circulation, which includes restricted-access websites, tablet and smartphone apps and e-reader editions, the trade publication Editor & Publisher said. Circulation of those delivery vehicles was first counted in the report for March, 2011, so this is the first comparison based on them. The Wall Street Journal was again the top-selling newspaper, with 2.1 million copies, a slight increase from 2011. USA Today reported a combined 1.8 million daily sales. Neither paper has a Sunday edition. The New York Times reported just over 2 million Sunday sales, by far the most in the nation. The 50 percent growth was driven by the switch to paid access to its website and the addition of mobile apps.

Chesapeake chairman out

BLACKBERRY INTEGRATED CAR UNVEILED

By CHRIS KAHN AP Energy Writer

NEW YORK — Chesapeake Energy founder Aubrey McClendon was stripped of his chairmanship role Tuesday following shareholder complaints that his personal business interests could conflict with those of the company he runs. McClendon will remain CEO. The company’s board said it’s searching for an independent chairman. McClendon The board has been feeling the heat from shareholders after reports surfaced that McClendon took out more than $1 billion in loans to pay for his stake in the company’s wells. He was allowed to buy those stakes as a part of his compensation program, something that had long raised concerns from shareholders. Some of the loans came from a group that was also planning to buy Chesapeake assets. Investors said McClendon’s private dealings with the group could have influenced Chesapeake’s decision to sell those assets. The company said Friday it will end the investment program in 2014, 18 months ahead of schedule, to “eliminate a source of controversy.” McClendon, 52, spent most of his adult life searching for natural gas and oil in the U.S. He co-founded Chesapeake in1989, turning an initial $50,000 investment into America’s secondlargest natural gas producer behind Exxon Mobil Corp. He was America’s top-paid CEO in 2008, receiving compensation worth $112.5 million. He established himself as a leading spokesman for the benefits of natural gas. When natural gas prices plunged in 2008, Chesapeake stock tumbled 60 percent and McClendon was forced to sell $550 million of stock to cover bank demands for repayment of loans.

Retailers are paying significantly less every time a customer swipes a debit card under a rule capping the fees that banks are allowed to charge. The Federal Reserve says in a report Tuesday that the average fee paid by merchants for debit card transactions covered by the rule was 24 cents in the fourth quarter of 2011. That compares with an average of 43 cents before the Fed’s rule took effect Oct. 1. For most transactions, banks can charge merchants a maximum 21 cents for each debit card transaction plus an additional 0.05 percent of the purchase price to cover fraud protection costs.

Did you know that our average temperature this year in March was warmer than it was in April? That’s odd. Records show that has never happened before around here. Usually it’s the other way around. April turned out to be threetenths of a degree cooler. Today will be cooler than Tuesday was, with overcast skies and a good chance for showers. Much warmer air will begin moving in Thursday and sunshine will help boost readings well into the 70s. We’re headed into the 80s on Friday, so plan accordingly. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER THOMAS COOK RAMADA INN

Make it a fiesta with citrus tacos

By SUSAN M. SELASKY

Detroit Free Press

nce spring arrives, cooking and eating habits change. We make way for bright, delicate tastes and move away from the hearty, longer-cooking vegetables that carried us through the winter. • Change of season, change of vegetables. • Chefs and home cooks get in the mood for a little something green. Pungent wild leeks, tender English peas, brilliant asparagus and spiky artichokes fit the bill as they herald the locally grown goodness that will soon head our way. Spring offerings are exciting for chefs like James Rigato of the Root restaurant in White Lake. At the Root, Rigato now serves dishes with ramps, a wild leek that is locally foraged, and fresh English peas he now sources from California as well as other fresh veggies from the Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio. “It’s easier to be a chef in the spring ... because everything starts to become more available,” Rigato said. “And people tend to want to eat lighter fare.” Rigato is all about sourcing ingredients locally when he can. He is now using ramps and English peas in a split pea soup, and more peas in a creamy pasta dish. Rigato adds raw ramp greens to the

split pea soup at the end of cooking. “They wilt almost as easily as spinach,” he said. He also minces the stems, sautes them in a little butter and adds them to the soup. Ramps add notes of both onion and garlic in cooking, and a little can go a long way. “I like to keep vegetable dishes vegetarian and bring out their true flavor,” said Jesse Bartol of Sweet Layla June Catering in Commerce Township, Mich., a former chef for Weight Watchers and personal chef to Florine Mark. “Vegetables have a wonderful flavor. I don’t think they need the help that people sometimes try to give them.” Bartol also encourages cooks not to be intimidated by vegetables such as artichokes, one of her favorites. “People tend to treat them in a highmaintenance way and shouldn’t,” she said. “You just steam, peel the leaves, reveal the heart, scoop out the inediSee VEGGIES, Page 5C

Sweet meets heat in this Mexican-inspired cake By ALISON LADMAN For The Associated Press

AP PHOTO

A mango-topped chocolate honey cake brings a bit of heat and a lot of sweet.

A bit of heat and a lot of sweet make this mango-topped chocolate honey cake a fine choice for celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Bake the cake in any style Bundt pan you like. A more conventional tube pan also would work. You even could divide the batter between mini Bundt cake pans for individual servings. After it cools, the cake is topped with an easy coffee glaze made by whisking together instant coffee, vanilla and powdered sugar. You can substitute cooled coffee for the 3 tablespoons of water in the glaze, but you still need to use the instant coffee, which adds considerable flavor. Once topped with mango, leftovers need to be refrigerated. As an alternative, glaze the entire cake, cut servings from it, then top each serving with mango.

••• MEXICAN CHOCOLATE HONEY CAKE Start to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active), plus cooling Servings: 8 1/3 cup cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup honey 1 cup (2 sticks) butter 2 eggs 3 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon instant coffee 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar Fresh mango, to serve Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a tube or Bundt pan with cooking spray, then sprinkle it with cocoa powder, turning all around to coat the inner surfaces of the pan. Tap out any excess. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder, baking powder,

cinnamon, cayenne and salt. Set aside. In a medium saucepan over mediumhigh heat, melt together the honey and butter. Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat on medium-high until cooled to room temperature, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between each. Add a third at a time, beat in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the water, instant coffee and vanilla until the coffee granules are completely dissolved. Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth.

THIS YEAR marks the 150th anniversary of Cinco de Mayo. This celebration is not Mexico’s Independence Day, as many people mistakenly believe; rather it commemorates the victory of outnumbered Mexican forces over France. Cinco de Mayo is meant to bring national unity and pride with food, music, dancing and other festivities. The United States has grown into a diverse nation, and many cultural traditions have become integrated into our society. Mexican food offers flavors that satisfy the palate. I chose citrus chicken tacos with avocados and salsa because the tacos are a traditional recipe that can be altered to your liking, yet they’re fast and easy to make. The citrus flavors blend well with the hot weather May brings, while the chicken offers a lean protein that will provide much-needed energy for your fiesta. Ingredients: 1 1/2 pounds chicken 4 tomatoes from the vine, diced 2 large green bell peppers, diced 1 medium Vidalia onion, diced 2 green onions, chopped 8 garlic cloves, peeled and minced 4 ounces fresh cilantro, chopped 1/8 cup red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 lime 1 lemon 1/2 cup chopped lettuce 1/2 cup sour cream 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or cheese of your liking Salt and pepper to taste 10 (6-inch) corn or flour tortillas Tacos: 1. Bring eight cups of water to boil. Add chicken for 10 minutes and check middle (so there’s no pink) and place on cutting board. Let cool for approximately 10 minutes and shred with hands. 2. While chicken is boiling, put two tomatoes, one green pepper and one-half onion into food processor with garlic and two ounces cilantro. Blend until pureed or of liquid consistency. Place a 9-inch frying pan over medium heat. Add puree and chicken and cook for 5 minutes with constant stirring. Put on low heat and add vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, half of a squeezed lime and half of a squeezed lemon. Add salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 10 minutes. 3. Heat both sides of tortilla in warm pan Salsa: 4. Combine remaining tomatoes, green peppers, onion, garlic, cilantro, oregano, cumin, lime and lemon into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. 5. Serve citrus chicken mixture in warm tortilla with lettuce, sour cream, cheese and green onion.

peas Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish In a large wide pot, place the bacon cubes and cook slowly over low to medium until crispy. Drain off fat. Add onion to the same pot and cook until soft. Add garlic. The moisture from the onions and garlic should begin to lift the sticky bits from the bottom of the pot. Add flour. Stir until flour becomes absorbed and paste-like, making sure not to burn it. Once flour is absorbed, add wine and cook until it is absorbed, about a minute. Add the cream. Reduce the heat to low and stir often until thick and heated through, about 30 minutes. Stir in the Pecorino Romano and season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. At very end, squeeze lemon juice into sauce. Taste again and adjust if necessary. Keep sauce warm. Meanwhile, cook the linguine in boiling salted water until al dente. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil. Add the shrimp and saute lightly until opaque. Add a splash of white wine to the pan. Add the sauce, fresh mustard greens and peas. Add cooked pasta right from the water straight into the skillet. Cook together for about a minute adding a splash of olive oil, fresh chopped parsley and a light sprinkling of Pecorino. Transfer to a bowl, making sure to place the shrimp on top of pasta. Top with shaved Pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil. From James Rigato, executive chef, Root restaurant, White Lake

medium-high heat. Add the artichoke hearts and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm. Into a large saute pan or deep skillet, pour about 2 inches of cold water and the vinegar. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat so that the surface of the water barely shimmers. Break the eggs into individual saucers, then gently slide them one at a time into the water and, with a large spoon, lift the whites over the yolks. Repeat the lifting once or twice to completely enclose each yolk. Poach until the whites are set and the yolks feel soft when gently touched, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and place on a large plate. Arrange the warm artichoke hearts on each of 4 plates and top with the sauteed spinach. Lay 1 egg on top of each bed of spinach and drizzle with warm Hollandaise sauce. Garnish with the chopped smoked salmon, a dusting of paprika and chives; serve immediately. To saute the spinach: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Add 1 pound fresh trimmed spinach and 1 teaspoon minced garlic. Saute, stirring until wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm. To make the Hollandaise sauce: In the top of a double boiler or in a large bowl set over a pot of simmering water, whisk 3 egg yolks with 2 teaspoons water until the yolks are thick and pale yellow, removing from the heat as needed to prevent the eggs from overcooking. Gradually add ½ cup melted butter, whisking constantly to thicken. Whisk in 1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon salt

Man’s tattoo causes quite a stir among his fellow airline passengers Dear Abby: On a recent airline flight, a tall man who sat behind me had his left leg out in the aisle during the trip. He was wearing shorts, and you could see his large tattoo of a naked woman on his thigh. The drawing was very explicit, and there was no way to avoid seeing it because passengers had to cross over his leg to reach the bathroom. How do you explain this kind of “art” to children? Would the airline have the right to ask him to cover the tattoo if it was objectionable? — Offended Traveler From New York Dear Offended: Because body art could be classified as freedom of

DEAR ABBY ADVICE expression, I’m not sure they do. However, someone’s leg protruding into the aisle might be considered a safety issue. It would also impede food and beverage carts traveling up and down the aisle. Because you were offended, I hope you averted your gaze if you needed to make more than one trip to the lavatory, and if there were children in tow, that you didn’t call their attention to the “picture.” Dear Abby: I had an urgent piece of mail to get to the post office. My sister called the postmistress, who agreed to stay open for her to deliver

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

it. In the meantime, I found two other pieces of mail that required checks, quickly wrote them out and gave the three envelopes to my sister, who rushed them to the post office. Upon her return, she showed me her vehicle, which had a deep gash running along one side because she had backed down the driveway too quickly, and had scraped the car against the stone post. She thinks I should pay half the cost of repair because “I was involved.” I think it was her carelessness, and therefore, I should not have to pay. I’m not angry, just confused by her reasoning because the same thing happened to me when I ran an errand for her, but I paid on my own for my carelessness. What do you think? — Thinks Differently in Tennessee

CRYPTOQUOTE

Dear Thinks Differently: I think you should remind your sister that when the same thing happened to you while running an errand for her, you assumed the responsibility for paying for it. For her to say that you were “involved” is stretching the truth. She’s trying to guilt you into paying. Dear Abby: I’m a 20-year-old female junior in college. I am intelligent, attractive and friendly, and I want to remain a virgin until I’m married. This is not because of religious reasons. I have had a few relationships I thought were serious, but I ended up getting dumped for a “looser” girl each time, which really hurts. My family and friends don’t understand that waiting until marriage is part of who I am. Ironically, I was

raised to think this was proper, but once I reached a certain age, everyone seemed to change their minds. I’m not looking to get married for at least five years, which means a long wait for anyone who wants to date me. Am I going to be alone forever just because I won’t jump into bed with a guy before we’re married? — Principled in Ann Arbor, Mich. Dear Principled: Not forever. I admire you for adhering to your values and so will the man who marries you. To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Get right to the point, and tell people what you want from them. Chances are they will be grateful for your directness, and they’ll think more of you because you had the guts to operate in this manner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Politicians aren’t the only ones with platforms. You have a platform, too, though maybe you haven’t given the idea much thought. Now is the time to do so. Figure out what you stand for. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know what you need, but you may be timid about communicating it. It will be better to inform others of your intentions, instead of asking permission. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Apologizing for unintentional minor errors that don’t hurt anyone will erode the confidence others have in you, not to mention your confidence in yourself! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone may have a higher position than you, but it doesn’t make that person better than you. You treat everyone equally. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It will take a greater than normal effort to be present to certain situations. Perhaps the circumstance is tedious, too challenging, or just plain boring. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A teacher will help you on a spiritual level, though it isn’t necessarily the aim you are going for. Anything that helps you grow into the person you want to be will also expand your spirit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a pressure building around an upcoming event. You will be giving a performance of some kind. Perhaps this is informal in nature, but it’s still a performance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you know that love is the opposite of fear, you don’t go around hugging sharks. Great whites are best admired from a great distance. The same goes for potentially dangerous people. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The pressure is on. So just remember who you are. You have successfully completed jobs like this several times in the past. You can and will do it again. Rally for the best attitude you can muster. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). This afternoon brings a shift into a more creative headspace. You’ll bypass your analytical mind and tap into a wellspring of energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are conscientious about what you do, and you’ll feel inclined to work hard. Those with similar responsibilities may rely too heavily on you to pick up the slack. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 2). The next six weeks are a learning process. Stay the course this year, no matter what temptations, distractions and challenges arise and you’ll succeed. What you need to know is revealed in June. Solutions to domestic issues make life more enjoyable in July. Relationships get stronger in September through shared adventure. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 13, 49, 38 and 16.
