SCRANTON – Attorneys for Anthony Lupas on Thursday told a judge they do not believe he is competent to understand the charges against him, setting the stage for a potential legal battle over whether he can be tried on charges he bilked investors out of hundreds of thousands and potentially millions of dollars. Appearing at an arraignment before U.S. District Magistrate Judge Thomas Blewitt, attorney William Ruzzo said a report he received from a neuropsychiatrist led him to believe Lupas did not have the cognitive ability to decide how he should plead to the five-count indictment that was issued against him Tuesday. “We do not believe Mr. Lupas understands the ramifications for entering a

finement pending further proceedings. Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, was indicted by a federal grand jury on five counts of mail fraud for allegedly stealing more than $246,000 from a client through a bogus investment scheme. Federal prosecutors say they are still investigating claims made by dozens of other people who also allege they were defrauded out of millions of dollars by Lupas.

Gilmour gets poor votes from Wilkes

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Citing a lack of communication, unilateral decision-making and other issues, the Wilkes University Faculty Affairs Council Thursday passed votes of no confidence on the performance of President Tim Gilmour and trustees board Chairman Jack Miller. Gilmour, in a phone interview Thursday afternoon, said he “has great respect for our facul-

ty” and believes “they have the right to voice their concerns,” but took issue with their allegations. Gilmour “I have to really disagree with their characterization of things not being transparent,” said Gilmour, 67. He also took issue with the timing of the vote.

“There is some wonderment in my mind about the timing of this,” said Gilmour. Gilmour, who has been president at the school since leaving his job as provost at Northwest Missouri State University in 2001, will leave Wilkes at the end of June. His last contract, however, entitles him to a paid sabbatical after he leaves his presidency. He will earn his salary of about $250,000 during the contrac-

tually-obligated paid sabbatical. Don Mencer, the Faculty Affairs Council chairman, said the vote was taken before Gilmour left because “it needed to take place under the president of the leadership that failed.” The faculty’s vote on no confidence of Gilmour tallied 81-19, with seven abstentions. Gilmour said he is “OK with (the vote).” He said he feels that See WILKES, Page 14A

Former Luzerne County Commissioner Greg Skrepenak is back in a halfway house, the federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Thursday. According to Chris Burke, BOP spokesman, Skrepenak was taken out of the home confinement program and ordered back to the halfway house Wednesday for unspecified reasons. “We can’t discuss the whys of any particular case,” Burke said. “I can only confirm that he has been returned to a halfway house.” Burke couldn’t divulge the location of the halfway house, but Greg Skrepenak Skrepenak Sr., in a voicemail left at The Times Leader, said his son was “taken back to the halfway house in Scranton.” Skrepenak was still able to go to work Thursday at Fellerman & Ciarimboli law firm in Kingston. He has been working there since April 23. He was placed in the home confinement program on April 9 and had been staying at the family house in Dallas. “He’s here in the office,” Ciarimboli said. “He’s working.” Fellerman said Skrepenak is working 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. Speaking in general terms, Burke said there are many reasons an inmate would be removed from the home confinement program. He said it could be at the inmate’s request, a disciplinary issue or that the program wasn’t providing the inmate what he/she needed as far as re-entry into the community. Skrepenak Sr. said the reason his son was removed from the home confinement program was “too much media coverage.” “As far as publicity in and of itself, I’d say no,” Burke said. “However, if the publicity affects an inmate’s home confinement programming … but I wouldn’t want to speculate.” Attorney Peter Moses, who represented Skrepenak, said he’s been in touch with Skrepenak’s family to discuss the situation. “I’m unaware of any specific violation that Greg committed,” Moses said. “The family is confident that everything will be restored in the very near future. They just want Greg to be able to continue to serve his sentence and prepare for re-entry into our community.” May return home Burke said Skrepenak could return to the home confinement program, but he said he could not say when, or if, that might happen. “This situation would not preclude him See SKREPENAK, Page 14A

School construction jeopardized By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

09815 10011

KINGSTON – A proposed moratorium on the state program that helps cover costs of school construction and renovation could seriously impact some local district budgets. Wyoming Valley West, for example, is expecting $479,000 in reimbursements for an expansion project at State Street Elementary, and now there’s no guarantee the money will come. The risk has caused rumblings

among some school boards and school administrators, though it’s unclear what would definitely happen if Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposals become reality. The issue centers on the state’s complicated “Planning and Construction Workbook” system – “PlanCon” – used in determining state reimbursements for school construction. There are 11 steps labeled PlanCon A through PlanCon K, though the last step only applies if borrowing for a reimbursable

project is refinanced. PlanCon A through G involve preconstruction issues, such as justifying the project, design, site acquisition, and bid documents. In Corbett’s proposal, the fate of reimbursement for many districts depends on whether they have completed PlanCon H, the pivot point in the process. As the state Department of Education website puts it: “Once PlanCon Part H is approved, reimburseSee SCHOOLS, Page 14A

Combating gangs By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

NANTICOKE – A panel of community leaders on Thursday explained what they can do and what others in the community should do to combat the presence of gangs in Northeastern Pennsylvania. “Community Based Action” was the theme of the third in a series of five gang awareness information sessions initiated by U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta and state Sen. John Yudichak to address the growing problem of gang-related crime and violence in the region. Barletta called the session, held at Luzerne County Community College, “the most important part of the five” because “community involvement is really what we believe will drive this initiative. … As a community we have a responsibility of doing our part.” “If we do nothing, we will see more and more gang activity creep into our neighborhoods,” Barletta, R-Hazleton, said. The first session at Penn State Hazleton in June focused on educating the community about gangs, how they work and how to recognize them. The second, at King’s College in February, focused on what schools can and should do to prevent students from succumbing to gang recruitment efforts. Yudichak said that since then, much has already happened. No gang-specific law Yudichak said Pennsylvania is one of only a handful of states that has no gang-specific law on the books, but he and colleagues in the state House and Senate are working to change that. Legislation being prepared for introduction later this month will toughen the sentencing for gang-related crimes; make gang recruitment a crime; and establish an Anti-Gang Counseling

POLICE BLOTTER PLAINS TWP. – Police are investigating the armed robbery of woman at the ATM drive-thru of the Choice One Credit Union on North River Street. The woman, who declined to identify herself, described the robber as a white male in his 20s, wearing a bandana to cover his face, blue jeans and gray shirt with a skull design on the back. She said he got into the passenger side of her car while she was at the ATM around 6:30 p.m. “He told me to take out the maximum amount of my account,” she said. She already had withdrawn $80, withdrew another $200 and handed it to him.

Program in schools through the Department of Education. Yudichak also said the fifth gang awareness forum will not be the end of local community initiative. “We’re going to have a permanent committee that’s going to be staffed by all of you,” he said. The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development led by Teri Ooms will provide administrative support. Four subcommittees dealing with legislation, education, law enforcement and community also will be formed. And a new website – www.OperationGangUp.com – is being launched. Gang expert Darrell Dones, a supervisory special agent with the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va., who helped Barletta and Yudichak launch the initiative, said he’s impressed with the interest and community involvement he’s seen here thus far. Dones said failures to address gang problems in other communities have been the result of lack of community involvement and failure to follow through. He said fighting gangs is a “not a short-term approach” and that “it’s going to take some time to see the residuals of our work.”

said he was a gang member when he was a young man. “What saved me is people out here, sitting like this – the community came together and didn’t give up on me,” he said. Carmen Ambrosino, chief executive officer of Wyoming Valley Alcohol and Drug Services, said that when adults pay attention to children, “we begin hearing more than ‘I’m lonely’ and ‘I’m bored.’ We begin seeing disenfranchisement, detachment; we begin to see kids disconnect from … this community.” Those youths are more vulnerable to gang recruitment. Ambrosino said more mentoring and positive role models are needed, family units must be strengthened and more partnering is needed between faith, business and civic communities. More recreational and educational opportunities for youth are also critical.

She then drove to the intersection of West Chestnut and North Franklin streets, saw a woman and asked if she had a cell phone to call Luzerne County 911. The robber was apologetic, she said. The woman recalled him telling her, “‘I’m sorry I’m doing this, but I have child support to pay or else I’m going to jail.’ ” She said she tried to talk him out of it.

Bryan Huffman tells court he funneled secret money from millionaire to Edwards’ aide.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — An interior designer testified Thursday about his role in funneling secret money from a reclusive millionaire to an aide of John Edwards’ in a scheme that included checks labeled for fake antique furniture purchases. Bryan Huffman described, for example, receiving a $100,000 check from 101-year-old heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon with “Antique Charleston Table” written in the memo line. It was part of an elaborate ruse to hide $725,000 intended for Edwards from the Mellon family’s money managers by sending checks to the designer for a fantasy furniture business. The designer then endorsed the checks and sent them on to a fundraiser for Edwards’ 2008 campaign. A prosecutor asked Huffman if Mellon was aware of a federal law that then limited individual political contributions to $2,300 per election cycle. “She thought it was a little low,” Huffman, 48, replied to laughter. “Our furniture business did not really involve furniture. It was money for Sen. Edwards.” Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts related to campaign finance violations involving about $1 million provided by Mellon and another donor. Some of the money was used to hide the Democratic candidate’s pregnant mistress as he sought the White House in 2008. He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted. Huffman took the stand after several of Edwards’ former aides testified about their knowledge or suspicions of the married candidate’s affair with Rielle Hunter, a videographer seen going to and from his hotel rooms on campaign stops. After nearly two weeks of tense testimony from witnesses in somber suits, the interior designer breezed into the windowless, oak-paneled courtroom in a yellow checked blazer with matching yellow tie and pocket square. His mouth perpetually poised in a smile, he spoke in a drawl suited for the sitting parlor of an antebellum mansion. Huffman said he met Mellon in 2004, after he visited the small town near her estate, wrote her a note and received an invitation to visit. Huffman said Mellon had become enamored of the handsome and youthful senator from North Carolina, who reminded her of John Kennedy. He made it his mission to arrange an introduction.

Lien costs will be refunded Tax agency acts on its levee fee mistake By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The Don Wilkinson Agency has agreed to refund lien costs paid by property owners who did not receive notice prior to a lien being placed on their homes for failure to pay the 2010 levee maintenance fee. Flood Protection Authority Executive Director Jim Brozena said Thursday officials with the agency confirmed the company erred when it failed to send out delinquency and pre-lien notices, as required by its contract. It is now working on a plan to notify af-

fected property owners to advise them how to obtain a refund if they have already paid the lien. “There was an error on their part. We are working with the Wilkinson Agency to make it right,” Brozena said. Several property owners contacted The Times Leader this week to complain they were unaware they had not paid the fee until they received notice the lien had already been filed. The owners said they were upset because they would have paid the fee sooner had they gotten a delinquency notice, which would have allowed them to avoid

being hit with the lien filing charge. Several owners also alleged they did not pay the 2010 bill because they never received it. Brozena said he looked into that issue, and the Wilkinson Agency provided him evidence it did send bills to all properties subject to the fee. Brozena said the agency provided him a full list of all people to whom the bills were sent. It also provided a receipt from the U.S. Postal Service that showed the agency mailed out 14,266 pieces of mail, which is nearly an exact match to the See LIEN, Page 11A

A dose of success

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WRIGHT TWP. – In the space of a little less than a year, Wilkes-Barre General Hospital officials broke ground and cut the ribbon on their new $4.3 million Mountain Top Campus. Cornelio Catena, chief executive officer of the hospital, area lawmakers, community leaders and others Thursday officially opened the facility on South Mountain Boulevard and welcomed guests for tours. “This has been a tremendous opportunity for us to bring needed health care services to the Mountain Top community,” said Catena in a brief address before heading outside for the ribbon-cutting. The hospital chose Mountain Top because it’s a growing area and, “It needed a facility like this,” he said. It provides physical and occupational therapy, laboratory and diagnostic imaging, wound care and family medicine services.

Cornelio Catena, General Hospital CEO, helps open the new campus.

Geisinger Health Care System has a medical laboratory and after-hours care center in the nearby Weis Shopping Plaza. Approximately 15 hospital employees work at the single-story brick building and others will be added, said Catena. The hospital invested $700,000 in capital equipment and approximately $3.5

million in the construction of the building and development of the property. The May 20, 2011 groundbreaking was a highlight for state Rep. Gerald Mullery, D-Newport Township, who also attended the ribbon-cutting. “In my brief tenure as a state rep, that was one of my most exciting moments because I knew that once we threw that ceremonial dirt, there were local men and women waiting to begin construction on this wonderful facility,” said Mullery. The excitement carried over to the ribbon-cutting because of “the several dozen family sustaining careers realized out of this project,” he said. Dan Frascella, chairman of the board supervisors of Wright Township, welcomed the new neighbor. Residents won’t have to travel down the mountain for medical services and treatment, he said. “It’s a great day for the Mountain Top area and the residents of Mountain Top,” he said.

Man in gay porn killing appeals conviction

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – With a book about the homicide of adult pornography producer Bryan Kocis set to be released later this month, a man convicted in the killing is seeking a new trial. Harlow Cuadra, 30, through his court-appointed appellate attorney Demetrius Fannick, filed a post-conviction relief petition Thursday in Luzerne County Court, citing his alleged participation in the homicide was coerced by his controlling partner, Joseph Kerekes. A Luzerne County jury con-

victed Cuadra of first-degree murder after a three week trial in March 2009. He was sentenced to life in prison when the 12-member jury was unable to unanimously agree to impose the death penalty. Investigators alleged Cuadra and Kerekes, 35, both from Virginia Beach, Va., killed Kocis, 44, inside Kocis’ Dallas Township home that was then set ablaze on Jan. 24, 2007. Kerekes, 38, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving life in prison. Cuadra maintained his innocence during the trial, telling jurors that Kerekes in a jealous rage killed Kocis, whom they believed was their

main rival in the production of gay pornographic films. Kocis produced his films under Cobra Video. Cuadra and Kerekes were personal and business partners in the gay film production industry and also provided escort services in the Virginia Beach area, according to arrest and court records. In his petition, Cuadra cited duress in his alleged participation in the homicide claiming he was controlled, threatened and abused by Kerekes. Cuadra also claims errors by his trial lawyers, Paul Walker and Joseph D’Andrea, for not raising the duress issue to ju-

rors, and errors by the trial judge, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr., for not continuing the trial. Walker and D’Andrea were appointed to represent Cuadra three months before the trial began and did not have sufficient time to prepare. The conviction was upheld by the state Superior Court in October 2010. A hearing on Cuadra’s petition has not been scheduled. A book about the investigation and trial authored by Peter A. Conway and Andrew E. Stoner titled, “Cobra Killer” is being published by Magnus Books and is scheduled to be released on May 22.

The Times Leader continues to hold a commanding lead in total average circulation among Luzerne County newspapers, according to the latest Fas-Fax report released by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. The newspaper’s average Monday through Saturday circulation is 22.5 percent higher than the Citizens’ Voice. On Sunday the gap is more than twice as wide, with The Times Leader reporting 45.9 percent more copies sold. The Fas-Fax report is subject to audit. The figures cited above do not include branded editions published by the newspapers under different names. “This core product dominance is an example of why readers and advertisers reach out to us for quality service and powerful results; we deliver,” said Prashant Shitut, president and CEO of Impressions Media, parent company of The Times Leader. The Times Leader’s lead is even more substantial among the increasingly important digital audience. TimesLeader.com is by far the largest newspaper website in Northeastern Pennsylvania, averaging about 600,000 unique visitors per month, according to Google Analytics, said Nick DeLorenzo, director of interactive and new media. The Citizens’ Voice website averages about 140,000 monthly unique visitors, according to Quantcast, an online audience measurement service. The recent launch of Local Mantra by Impressions Media added a wide range of digital marketing tools for advertisers. The total circulation of The Times Leader including “branded editions,” which includes the Sunday Dispatch, The Dallas Post, The Abington Journal, Go Lackawanna and others, shows growth during the week but a decline on Sunday. That is due to “our misinterpretation of the ABC requirements governing these publications,” said Michael Prazma, Impressions Media vice president of circulation. The bulk of the decline in reported Sunday branded edition circulation was a result of a decision to omit Go Lackawanna from the report, Prazma said. “The papers were delivered,” he said. “We inadvertently missed some of the provisions required by ABC to include this publication in the totals.” He said the misunderstandings are being addressed and Go Lackawanna circulation should be included in future reports. The recent Fas-Fax report covers the sixmonth period ending March 31. Neal Lulofs, Audit Bureau of Circulations executive vice president, said in a statement explaining the figures released Tuesday there had been significant rule changes in the past 18 months related to branded and digital editions, and cautioned against the possibility of error in making comparisons to previous years.

Bin Laden letters reveal frustrations

B R I E F

Documents seized by U.S. forces portray Obama strategy as working.

By MATT APUZZO and CALVIN WOODWARD Associated Press

Igor Vovkovinskiy, of Rochester, Minn., currently the tallest man in the United States at 7 feet, 8 inches, has his feet measured by shoe technicians as part of a shoe fitting at Reebok headquarters in Canton, Mass., Thursday. Vovkovinskiy, who has a shoe size between 22 and 26, said he’s had 16 surgeries in six years to fix problems created by shoes that didn’t fit. Reebok is providing the shoes at no charge.

WASHINGTON — Letters from Osama bin Laden’s last hideaway, released by U.S. officials intent on discrediting his terror organization, portray a network weak, inept and under siege — and its leader seemingly near wit’s end about the passing of his global jihad’s glory days. The documents, published online Thursday, are a small sample of those seized during the U.S. raid on bin Laden’s Pakistan compound in which he

was killed a year ago. By no accident, they show al-Qaida at its worst. The raid has become the signature national security moment of Barack bin Laden Obama’s presidency and one he is eager to emphasize in his re-election campaign. Those ends are served in the 17 documents chosen by U.S. officials for the world to see — not to mention American voters. The Obama administration has refused to release a fuller record of its bin Laden collection, making it difficult to glean any larger truths about the state of the terrorist

organization. What is clear from the documents released so far is that al-Qaida’s leaders are constantly on the run from unmanned U.S. aircraft and trying to evade detection by CIA spies and National Security Agency eavesdroppers. In one letter, either bin Laden himself or his senior deputy tells the leader of Yemen’s al-Qaida offshoot that, in the face of U.S. power, it is futile to try to establish a government that will offer it safe haven. Again and again in the letters, bin Laden and his inner circle struggle to keep the focus of Islamic terrorism on killing Americans and tamp down attacks by al-Qaida affiliates on Muslim

innocents. The documents describe the U.S. as “a malicious tree with a huge trunk,” and its allies as mere branches not worth al-Qaida’s time. From his redoubt in Pakistan, bin Laden was keenly aware that his organization’s standing with Muslim populations was crumbling. “I plan to release a statement that we are starting a new phase to correct (the mistakes) we made,” bin Laden wrote in 2010. “In doing so, we shall reclaim, God willing, the trust of a large segment of those who lost their trust in the jihadis.” Such passages offer a glimpse into the terrorist’s mindset. They also fit into the U.S. government’s public relations fight with al-Qaida.

CANTON, MASS.

Tallest man has new shoes The tallest man in the United States traveled from Minneapolis to Massachusetts on Thursday for a custom shoe-fitting with Reebok that he hopes will help him live a normal life. Igor Vovkovinskiy says he’s had 16 surgeries in six years to fix problems created by shoes that didn’t fit. He’s 7 feet, 8 and one-third inches tall with a shoe size somewhere between a 22 and 26. Vovkovinskiy says his only shoes have no traction, making it “suicidal” to leave his home. “I haven’t been able to go for a joyful walk for six years now,” he said. “I look forward to just going for a walk with my dog, just walking around the neighborhood.”

Chen’s effort to keep his case in the public eye increased pressure on Washington.

STATE COLLEGE

PSU ag trustee re-elected A member of Penn State’s Board of Trustees who represents the agriculture industry was re-elected to the board Thursday, a day before results for the more widely-publicized campaign for three alumni-elected seats are to be announced. Delegates of state agricultural groups re-elected incumbent Carl Shaffer, a crop farmer from Columbia County and president of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau to a three-year term on the board. They are they first elections for board seats since some alumni criticized trustees for their decisions in the aftermath of child sexual abuse charges against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Agricultural issues appeared to be campaign’s driving issues, though some groups or delegates also weighed the scandal. The alumni election has drawn record turnout and an unprecedented 86 candidates; watchdog groups see that vote as a way to make changes on the board. BEIRUT

Forces kill 4 students Syrian forces stormed student dormitories during an anti-government protest at Aleppo University Thursday, firing tear gas and bullets in an hourslong siege that killed at least four students and forced the closure of the state-run school, activists said. U.N. truce observers toured other restive parts of the country, and residents told them of being too terrified to walk on the streets after dark as the 14-month-old uprising rages on. The U.N. estimates 9,000 people have been killed since the revolt began, and a peace plan brokered by international envoy Kofi Annan nearly a month ago has done little to stem the bloodshed. ABUJA, NIGERIA

At least 34 die in blasts At least 34 people were reported to have died after gunmen armed with explosives set fire to a cattle market in northeastern Nigeria, according to local media Thursday. According to Nigerian television reports, a hospital in the town of Potiskum, in Yobe state — where the market is located — has received 34 bodies following the blaze. Speaking to the Nigerian News Agency, police spokesman Toyin Gbadegeshin confirmed Wednesday evening’s attack.

Wyoming got report delay By MEAD GRUVER Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Wyoming’s governor persuaded the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to postpone an announcement linking hydraulic fracturing to groundwater contamination, giving state officials — whom the EPA had privately briefed on the study — time to attempt to debunk the finding before it rocked the oil and gas industry more than a month later, an investigation by The Associated Press has found. During the delay, state officials raised dozens of questions about the finding that the controversial procedure that has become essential to unlocking oil and gas deposits in Wyoming and beyond may have tainted groundwater near the gas patch community of Pavillion.

Gov. Matt Mead contacted EPA Director Lisa Jackson and persuaded her to hold off any announcement, according to state emails and an interview with the governor. The more than 11,000 emails made available to AP in response to a state records request show that Wyoming officials took advantage of the postponement to “take a hard line” and coordinate an “all-out press” against the EPA in the weeks leading up to the announcement Dec. 8. Meanwhile, the chief state regulator of oil and gas development fretted over how the finding would affect state revenue. And even as the state questioned the EPA’s science, there were internal doubts about how effective those objections would be. “It’s already too late. The White House has already seen the report with

conclusions,” wrote Gary Strong, an engineer with the Wyoming Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, following a presentation by EPA deputy assistant regional administrator Martin Hestmark. The emails indicate that the federal agency was being pressed by the White House to release its report. But the state’s questions did set the stage for additional groundwater and household well water sampling in the Pavillion area that began a couple weeks ago. The struggle by both Wyoming officials and the EPA for message control shows the extent to which they fretted about the findings. Wyoming depends on oil and gas for its economic well-being while environmentalists have pushed the Obama administration to crack down on a process responsible for increasing U.S. onshore production.

AP survey: Steady job gains will help recovery By PAUL WISEMAN AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Hiring through the rest of 2012 will lag the brisk pace set early this year. But it will be strong enough to push the unemployment rate below 8 percent by Election Day. That’s the view that emerges from an Associated Press survey of 32 leading economists who foresee a gradually brighter jobs picture. Despite higher gas prices, Europe’s debt crisis and a weak housing market, they think the economy has entered a “virtuous cycle” in which hiring boosts consumer spending, which fuels more hiring and spend-

ing. The survey results come before a report Friday on hiring during April. The April report is eagerly awaited because

employers added surprisingly few jobs in March. That result contributed to fears that the economy might struggle to sustain its recovery.

But the economists think the recovery will manage to reduce unemployment to 7.9 percent by Election Day from 8.2 percent in March. Falling unemployment would boost President Barack Obama’s prospects in November. Going back to 1956, no president has lost re-election when the unemployment rate dropped in the two years before the election. And none has won when the rate rose over that time. Unemployment was 9.8 in November 2010. If the surveyed economists prove correct, the rate will be nearly 2 percentage points lower when Americans vote on Nov. 6.

BEIJING — The diplomatic disarray deepened Thursday after a blind activist reversed course and asked to leave China with his family, abandoning an arduously negotiated agreement even though he had left the protection of the U.S. Embassy and was in a Beijing hospital ringed by Chinese police. Bewildered and alone with his wife and children, Chen Guangcheng periodically switched on a cell phone to tell friends and foreign media he felt scared and wanted to go abroad, and that he had not seen U.S. officials in over a day. Chen’s high-profile effort to keep his case in the public eye served to increase pressure on Washington and embarrass Beijing as it hosted Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials for annual talks on global political and economic hotspots. Taken aback at Chen’s change of heart, U.S. diplomats spent much of Thursday trying to confirm that the family wanted to leave, and they eventually said they would try to help him. Still, it remained unclear how they might do so now that he has left the embassy, or whether the Chinese would be willing to renegotiate a deal that both sides thought had been settled a day earlier. In Washington, State Department spokesman Mark Toner confirmed U.S. officials weren’t able to see Chen in person Thursday but spoke twice with him by telephone, and once with his wife, Yuan Weijing, outside the hospital. “It’s our desire to meet with him tomorrow or in the coming days,” Toner said. “But I can’t speak to whether we’ll have access to him. I just don’t know.” Earlier, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said U.S. officials would continue to work with Chen and his wife to try to find a satisfactory new solution. “We need to consult with them further to get a better sense of what they want to do and consider their options,” Nuland said. Meanwhile, the Obama administration’s handling of the case drew sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republican lawmakers.

Water main break in Wilkes-Barre

Westbrooks prosecution near end

WILKES-BARRE – Brandon Crum testified Thursday Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks ordered Alicia Weaver out of his Ford Expedition on Nov. 13, 2010. A few moments later, shots were fired and Crum saw Weaver lying on the ground. “I was scared. I was nervous. I was shocked,” Crum testified Thursday. Crum, 25, of Brooklyn, N.Y., said in the days that followed Weaver’s death, he had been physically sick, losing weight and couldn’t eat. Crum’s testimony came in the fourth day of Westbrooks’ trial on homicide charges in Weaver’s death. Testimony is expected to end today. Crum said he prayed for Weaver, 20, and her family, whom he said he was close to because he dated Weaver, of Hazleton, for a short time and then remained friends. He said the reason the two broke up was because she admitted to him she was a prostitute. He saw Weaver earlier in the day at Westbrooks’ West Hazleton home, where he overheard Westbrooks say she owed him “bread” – or money – and Weaver ask Westbrooks why he broke her phone. Westbrooks, 22, said he was taking Weaver “on a date” – slang

Testimony in the trial will resume at 9:30 a.m. today. Prosecutors are expected to complete their case, followed by testimony by witnesses defense attorneys call. Attorneys will then present their closing arguments and the jury will be instructed on the law before being sent to deliberate.

for bringing her to a prostitution job. “He said he was going to take her on a date, like he usually does and take her to a hotel,” Crum testified. Crum, Westbrooks, Weaver and Daniel Smith didn’t come anywhere near a hotel that afternoon. “He drove outside of Freeland, and parked on a dirt road,” Crum said, noting he didn’t know exactly where they were in Foster Township. “He gets out and tell her to get out and then seconds later, gunshots,” Crum said. Westbrooks looked as if he was wiping a gun off and then hurled it over the Expedition and into the woods, Crum said. The three men drove back to Westbrooks’ home, where he began playing video games. “How is that possible? You murder someone and just play video games?” Crum said. “He didn’t give a … He has no conscience.” Crum said he eventually went

back to Brooklyn with Westbrooks, Smith, Dyrell Westbrooks and another man, but didn’t contact police. “I wanted to get the hell away from him,” Crum said. “I didn’t call the police because I was afraid I would have to give a statement and testify.” Crum said he worried about his safety because of what he had seen Westbrooks do to Weaver. “I didn’t think he would do anything like that,” Crum testified. Westbrooks’ attorney, Allyson Kacmarski, asked Crum if he knew that police were unable to find the gun involved in the incident until they had spoken to Crum. “Is that because you shot her?” Kacmarski asked Crum. Crum said he didn’t, and denied ever being Weaver’s pimp. Crum also denied making up stories to coincide with what he may have heard other people testify to take the blame off him. “I didn’t have to make up a story. I was there. I saw what happened,” Crum said. Prosecutors also called state police Cpls. Shawn Williams and Thomas McAndrew to testify. McAndrew said he reviewed phone records of Westbrooks and Weaver, which placed them around Freeland at the time of her death, as well as surveillance video from nearby Eckley Miner’s Village that showed Westbrooks’ green Ford Expedition in the area around the same time.

A van got stuck in a hole on Horton Street in Wilkes-Barre caused by a water main break when an 8-inch water main ruptured Thursday afternoon. The front of the vehicle was partially submerged. Susan Turcmanovich, spokeswoman for Pennsylvania American Water, said approximately 30 customers from Carlisle Street to Carey Avenue were affected by the rupture, which occurred at about 1:45 p.m. Horton Street, from Carlisle Street to Carey Avenue, was closed while repairs were made.

Woman gets 3-6 years in fatal car crash By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A woman charged with causing a crash that killed a 45-year-old Ashley man was sentenced Thursday to three to six years in state prison. Caitlyn Hermanofski, 24, of Hunlock Creek, was sentenced on offenses that included homicide by motor vehicle while driving under the influence in the June 2010 crash that left Joseph Hauze dead. Judge William Amesbury also sentenced Hermanofski to four years probation. “Because of drug use, I did take a life I can’t get back,” Hermanofski said. “I’m really deeply sorry for that.” According to court papers, Hermanofski was driving under the influence of alcohol and prescription medications when she struck a Harley-Davidson motorcycle operated by Hauze on state Route 309 in Fairview Township. Hauze underwent emergency surgery and died June 21. The Luzerne County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide after an autopsy showed he died from pulmonary embolism, or a block-

age in the main artery of the lung. Fairview Township police alleged Hermanofski, who was pregnant at the time, had a bloodalcohol level of .251 percent and had opiates and anti-anxiety medications in her system at the time of the crash. Amesbury said Thursday Hermanofski did not look as “good” to him as she had in past court appearances. Webby and Hermanofski both said Hermanofski has been off drugs for a number of months. Amesbury said Hermanofski would immediately submit to a drug test after her sentencing hearing. If she tested positive, Amesbury said she would be immediately remanded. If she tested negative, she would remain free until May 9. Hermanofski’s drug test results were unknown Thursday. Amesbury said a hearing on May 9 will be held where Hermanofski can submit reports from her psychologist. Webby said it is no question his client suffers from a mental health issue, and that she has completed inpatient drug and alcohol counseling, is seeing a ther-

apist and has participated in the county’s Day Reporting Center. Amesbury said Hermanofski must undergo a mental health and drug and alcohol evaluation and participate in all counseling. Amesbury also made her eligible to take part in a boot camp program while incarcerated.

est of delinquent final sewer bills. Mleczynski stated some customers may not be aware they owe the bills, and the amnesty program gives them a chance to work out a payment agreement on the acquired interest and penalties.

Alumni among grad speakers By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The college commencement season is upon us. Starting tonight at Penn State University Hazleton, the county’s colleges will award degrees and certificates at events over the next month to the Class of 2012. Unlike past years when celebrities and politicians were featured keynote speakers, this year most local schools have chosen to go the route of lesser known, but still successful, honorees. At half of the six county-based colleges alumni will offer keynote speeches. That’s the case tonight when PSU Hazleton confers degrees inside the Dr. Thomas M. Caccese Gymnasium in the Physical Education Building on the school’s Sugarloaf Township campus. Vincent J. Dandini, a 1974 Penn State graduate who has led a wide-ranging career as an engineer in industry and the U.S. Army and as an educator, before returning to engineering to greatly contribute to the field of nuclear energy, will address students. Reino to speak Saturday Penn State Wilkes-Barre holds graduation ceremonies Saturday at 10 a.m. in the Lehman Township campus Athletic and Recreation Building. James V. Reino Jr., a Kingston Township Board of Supervisors chairman and the campaign chairman of the “For The Future” campaign, will address graduates. That campaign has been called “the most ambitious fundraising campaign in Penn State’s history,” by the college. Reino, who graduated from

Lee

Smith

Penn State in 1977, serves as the regional director of sales and operations for UGI Energy Services for Northeastern and Central Pennsylvania. Both Misericordia and Wilkes universities have invited honored citizens of the nation to speak at their commencements, though neither has ties to the school or the region. Both schools will hold commencement ceremonies on May 19. Misericordia’s will take place at 2 p.m. in the Anderson Sports and Health Center on the school’s Dallas Township campus. Kerry Robinson, executive director of the National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management, will be the guest speaker when Misericordia holds its 86th annual commencement ceremony. Misericordia will present Robinson and her husband, Michael Cappello, a professor of medicine and director of the World Fellows Program at Yale University, with honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degrees. The National Leadership Roundtable on Church Management is dedicated to promoting excellence and best practices in the management, finances and human resource development of the Catholic Church in the United States. Since 1995, she has served on

COURT BRIEF WILKES-BARRE – A Kingston woman incarcerated on charges she took more than $100,000 from her elderly aunt has asked a judge to release her on parole. Marisa Harlen, 31, has served half of her one-to-two-year prison sentence, her at-

Reino

Waichulis

the national committee for the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops’ Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Wilkes University will hold its 65th spring commencement ceremonies at 1 p.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. Sharon H. Lee, founding executive director of the Low Income Housing Institute ), will deliver the commencement address. Lee will also receive an honorary degree, the doctor of humane letters. She will be honored for her distinguished advocacy for housing justice, housing preservation, and ending homelessness. In 1994, Lee became founding executive director of the Seattle, Wash.,-based institute , where she oversees a staff of 120 in housing development, property management, advocacy, and supportive services. 63rd at King’s College A day later, on May 20, in the same venue King’s College will hold its 63rd annual commencement exercises at 2 p.m. Tom Smith, a 1977 graduate of King’s and current chairman of the college’s board of directors, will deliver the address. Smith is vice president for corporate audit for the Campbell Soup Company. Charles Parente, of Harveys Lake, a 1962 King’s graduate who served as its board chair from

torney, Anthony J. Moses, said in court papers filed Thursday, and has requested she be released on parole. Harlen was sentenced in October on a charge of receiving stolen property by Judge Tina Polachek Gartley, after police said she took the money when she held power of attorney for 79-year-old Louise Olenik. Moses says in the court filing that while

1988 to 1997 and Eberhard Faber, of Bear Creek, who succeeded Parente as chair and served until 2010, will both Robinson be granted honorary doctorates at the event. Parente and Faber both joined the King’s board in the early 1980s and both continue to serve as members. Smith’s selection as keynote speaker, and the selection of two local residents who served as board chairs for a combined onethird of the college’s 66-year existence, were explained by King’s College President John Ryan. “Tom has, over the years, worked tirelessly on behalf of King’s students and has been directly responsible for helping many of them land career positions that support them in leading meaningful and purposeful lives,” said Ryan. The last graduation of the six Luzerne County-based schools will be held May 24 at Luzerne County Community College when Anthony Waichulis, a Nanticoke native and contemporary trompe l’oeil painter will address those gathered. Waichulis’ works have been published in nearly every major art publication including American Artist. In January 2006, he became the first trompe l’oeil painter to be granted Living Master status with the esteemed Art Renewal Center. Trompe l’oeil is an art technique involving realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects appear three dimensional.

on work release, Harlen has worked fulltime, has paid restitution to her aunt, and has had no misconducts. If released on parole, Harlen will continue those activities and lead a “self-respecting and law-abiding life.” Being released will also enable Harlen to pay more money towards her restitution. Polachek Gartley scheduled a June 12 hearing.

Three journalists slain in Mexico’s Veracruz By E. EDUARDO CASTILLO and OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ Associated Press

MEXICO CITY — Three photojournalists who covered the perilous crime beat in the violence-torn eastern Mexico state of Veracruz were found slain and dumped in plastic bags in a canal on Thursday, less than a week after a reporter for an investigative newsmagazine was beaten and strangled in her home in the same state, officials, colleagues and said. Press freedom groups said all three photographers had temporarily fled the state after receiving threats last year. The organizations called for immediate government action to halt a wave of attacks that has killed at least seven current and former reporters and photographers in Veracruz over the last 18 months. Like most of the slain, the men found Thursday had been among the few journalists left working on crime-related stories in the state. Threats and killings have spawned an atmo-

14,270 accounts subject to the levee fee. Brozena said the problem with the pre-lien notices affects only the 2010 levee fees. It’s not known how many property owners are affected. The Wilkinson Agency is still working to obtain that number. It’s also trying to determine why the mistake was made. “We want to make sure the flood authority receives what it is rightly due and people are not billed improperly or incorrectly and pay more than they have to,” Brozena said. The mistake is the second major problem to surface with the Wilkinson Agency this year. In

sphere of terror and self-censorship among the journalists of Veracruz, with most local media outlets too intimidated to report on drug-related violence, and social media and blogs the only outlets reporting on serious crime. Mexico has become one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists in recent years, disproportionately targeted as a militarized government offensive against drug cartels and rivalry between criminal groups fuel tens of thousands of killings, kidnappings and extortion. Prosecutions in journalist killings are all but unknown, as is the case with almost all homicides and other serious crimes in Mexico. The latest killings came in Boca del Rio, a town near the port city of Veracruz where police found the bodies of four people Thursday after passers-by spotted four suspicious black plastic bags in a wastewater canal, the Veracruz state Attorney General’s Office said. April Brozena was forced to halt the mailing of lien notices after it was discovered the agency had failed to include a letter with the notice explaining the payment process. Mark Schuster, president of the Wilkinson Agency, did not return a phone message Thursday. The Wilkinson Agency will be paid $35,000 from the flood authority this year, plus fees it collects from delinquent property owners, Brozena said. The contract expires this year. Brozena said it will be up to the authority’s board of directors to decide whether to retain Wilkinson for future years. Asked if the problems have shaken his confidence in Wilkinson’s ability to manage the program, Brozena said “Let’s just say the seas are kind of rough right now.”

OTHER OPINION: POSTAL SERVICE

Will the House deliver good news?

MERICA’S POSTAL system was thrown a lifeline last week when the Senate voted to stave off deep cuts and retool the nation’s mail delivery system with $11 billion for buyouts for thousands of postal workers and for paying off much of the Postal Service’s debt. The House must act next. The end of Saturday mail delivery was put off for at least two years. The status of dozens of facilities remains in limbo, as do the futures of many postal stations. EDITORIAL BOARD

The Postal Service has faced hard adjustments in response to the digital age. But its problems can’t all be blamed on Internet advertising, email, social media, online publications and private delivery companies. Republicans in Congress largely manufactured the crisis with a 2006 law that requires the Postal Service to prefund 75 years of future retiree health benefits in just10 years. No other federal agency has such a burden. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

t’s great that the new PNC Field in Moosic will be more of a field than stadium, and the powers that be are looking to generate fan interest. Unfortunately baseball has its roots at a young age, and the Little League experience was a primary source of igniting the passion. Regrettably, not anymore, as it seems to be geared to All-Stars. Perhaps the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees will help all kids aspiring to play baseball by sponsoring Little League-age baseball from May to August – when it was meant to be played – and make it a learning and fun experience. Many kids are primed to play in summer months. Give them, not only the “all stars,” a chance. As for a new name, how about the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Slash? Pat Adonizio Pittston

Writer: Holden’s campaign arrogant, out of touch

guess U.S. Rep. Tim Holden was a little overconfident this time. He seemingly thought that the people in the newly drawn 17th Congressional District would take it for granted that his being a 10-term congressman was enough to send him back. A lot of people in this newly drawn district did not know him that well, and his taking part in debates might have helped him. I did not vote for Mr. Holden because of his arrogance in thinking he could just walk in, without talking to the people.

thing the government dreams up, it’s not very well thought out and leaves the floodgates open for abuse. That abuse would be due to the fact that the bill is written very loosely and broadly. As is, it allows companies to share your personal information with the government if they sense a “cyber threat.” But there is no solid definition of what constitutes a “cyber threat.” The government can apparently decide that definition on a whim. It could deem that openly criticizing the president is a sign that you might potentially be a terrorist, or organizing a protest. You never know. Companies wouldn’t need to be given a warrant or subpoena before divulging your data either. You are not entitled to be informed that it was given away, nor would you ever find out if you asked. All past laws that were made to protect you from government snooping into your privacy are essentially nullified by CISPA. This is the garbage for which Mr. “Small Government Republican” Barletta voted. It makes you wonder exactly whose side he is on – his constituents’ or big government’s. President Obama has said he will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. The fact that it could ever get that far is sad. Jer Tobin Pittston

Barletta’s vote supports Big Brother, big gov’t

.S. Rep. Lou Barletta of Hazleton surprised me with his “yea” vote on the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act. As a Republican, he is supposed to be against “big government.” Yet he is somehow fine with this monster of a privacyinvasion bill if there ever was one. For the uninformed, here’s a brief overview of CISPA. First, let me explain what it’s designed to do. It’s supposed to protect America’s Internet interests. CISPA is designed to help companies fight cybercrime – potentially in exchange for helping the federal government spy on users. Foreign nations and hackers always are electronically breaking into American corporations and stealing secrets and information that cost businesses money. The government wants to help protect these businesses, but it can’t with the current laws. That’s where CISPA comes in. It sounds all well and good; however, like most any-

Are scrap companies unduly bending the rules?

am again shocked by the double-talk by our politicians. As I read a recent newspaper article, I understood it to say that certain elected leaders wanted to pass laws that would crack down on metal thieves who are breaking into homes, businesses, etc., but that the scrap metal industry opposed the dollar amounts at which documentation of sales are required. Because of that opposition, they had to lighten the punishment and raise the weight limits for materials that had to be reported. I have a suggestion for both parties. To the politician, I say, you are supposed to work for “we the people,” not only the ones with the money. To the scrap magnates, I say, if you can’t make an honest living, maybe you need to get a new job. As citizens, we are charged if we accept stolen merchandise – no matter the type or amount.

Property tax elimination topic of AFSCME meeting

he American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Chapter 13, Subchapter 8702, will hold a meeting at 1 p.m. May 17, at Norm’s Pizza, 275 N. Sherman St., Wilkes-Barre. This meeting is open to all Pennsylvania retirees. We will have Dave Baldinger, of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations, to speak on HB 1776 and SB 1400, The Property Tax Independence Act to eliminate school property taxes. HB 1776 is sponsored by state Rep. Jim Cox, and SB 1400 is sponsored by state Sen. Dave Argall. How many of you own homes and are struggling to pay your school taxes? How would you like to eliminate your school property tax? Now is the time for you to learn the facts and get involved. If you don’t, then you deserve what you get from your elected officials. A decade ago then-Gov. Ed Rendell and our elected officials promised, if elected, to legalize casino gambling in order to reduce property taxes with revenues from slots. You probably have read in the newspapers recently that Pennsylvania ranks No. 2 in the United States in receiving games revenues. Today, in Pennsylvania, we have a number of casinos and yet we have higher property tax bills. Where is the money? Senior citizens and retirees, it’s time to act. Support HB 1776 and SB 1400 by signing petitions and sending letters to your elected officials demanding that they cosponsor and vote for the property tax independence bills. The ball is in your court; you are the government! Thus far, 43 Republicans and 17 Democrats are co-sponsors of this bill. Unfortunately in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties we have only one co-sponsor: state Rep. Karen Boback. The Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations has 71 member groups. One of them, CAPTaxes, is in Luzerne County fighting to protect your homes. No tax should have the power to leave you homeless. Please attend, bring a friend, get the details and get involved, because Harrisburg has the gold mine and you got the shaft. Charles Urban Co-chairman AFSCME Chapter 13, Subchapter 8702 Kingston

WILKES-BARRE – Eileen Waterman and Jaycee are examples of the good work being done at Ruth’s Place Women’s Shelter. Waterman, 51, and Jaycee (she wouldn’t giver her last name), 42, attended Thursday’s open house and ceremony at the North Pennsylvania facility, and they talked about their life experiences. Elaine Maddon Curry and Jim Bobeck, representing the Luzerne County Council, presented a proclamation to Ruth’s Place board Chairman Bill Bolan, citing the agency’s work and success.

She now has her own place in Edwardsville and she’s working as a staffing scheduler at Erwine’s Home Health and Hospice. “I was petrified when I came here,” Waterman said. “But the support I received was absolutely fantastic.” Waterman said Kristen Topolski, Ruth’s Place director, and her

staff and volunteers helped her spiritually and gave her the confidence to return to the workforce and community. “My husband and I split up and he returned to Philadelphia,” she said. “We both had meltdowns. But we’ve gotten through it and now we’re back together.” Jaycee said she’s been at Ruth’s Place since April. She waved keys to her new apartment and talked about her second job interview. “They did so much for me,” she said. “The support was tremendous.” Bolan and Topolski said Ruth’s Place has been in operation since 2003, moving to its current location in July 2009.

from taking advantage of that program again,” Burke said. “Yes he can return to home confinement. That would involve discussion between the halfway house, the inmate, the assigned probation officer and the Bureau of Prisons.” Burke said the home confinement program is geared to help inmates as much as possible so that re-entry into the community is successful. Skrepenak’s prison term officially ends June 12, followed by three years of probation. Skrepenak, formerly of Jenkins Township, was given a twoyear sentence for his guilty plea to accepting a $5,000 kickback as a reward for supporting a real estate developer’s entry into a program to delay payment of taxes on the project. He was sentenced on Aug. 11, 2010 and reported to prison on Sept. 16, 2010. Skrepenak’s sentence was reduced by 94 days for “good conduct” credits he earned while incarcerated. Skrepenak was among more than 30 people nabbed in the Luzerne County federal corruption investigation. Skrepenak, a Democrat, resigned as county commissioner in December 2009, midway through his second, fouryear term and a day before he was charged.

all the decisions he and the board of trustees have made were for the betterment of the university and the votes Thursday came down to faculty members not being satisfied with proposals that would impact them financially. Reduction in benefits He cited a proposal to reduce university retirement contributions from 10 percent of annual salary to 8 percent by 2014. In addition to proposed decreases in retirement contributions, the faculty also has gone without a raise the past two years and is facing another year without one. Another aspect to the next year’s budget calls for decreases in university paid health care allocations. “In my heart of hearts, I think the faculty seriously disagrees with any reduction in compensation for them,” Gilmour said. Mencer said openness was the overriding factor, and he cited the school’s budgeting process and other spending decisions like plans to build a $35

pacity for 21. Bolan said the agency served 266 different women in 2011. Since its inception, Ruth’s Place has provided 24,000 nights of lodging for some 1,200 homeless women, with the average length of stay two weeks. “No woman leaves this shelter until they have housing,” Bolan said. State Rep. Phyllis Mundy, DKingston, and Wilkes-Barre Councilman George Brown attended the ceremony. Leesa Carlyon of Loftus-Vergari and Associates works with the clients in the Trauma Outreach Program. In a letter to all guests, Carlyon urged continued support for Ruth’s Place and its clients.

er was meant to send a loud and clear message to the board that the faculty is not happy with the direction of the school’s leadership decisions. Gilmour said he understood the faculty’s point of view but his job was to consider economic factors and the good of the university and its students, too. “These are very tough times facing the parents of our students and our students and therefore for us,” Gilmour said. “We’re trying to hold down increases to students and our costs.” He said the proposal to decrease university pension contributions still keeps Wilkes’ faculty in line with and, in most cases, ahead of their colleagues at other area schools. “We need to keep education affordable,’ Gilmour said. He said that he was in a position of making decisions for the good of the school and sometimes those decisions aren’t popular. “Tough decisions raise hackles,” Gilmour said. “I’ve had to make decisions for the good of the institution itself. These are all decisions I truly believe in.” Gilmour added, “I feel comSending a message fortable with what we’ve done. He said the vote against Mill- It’s what good leaders do.”

Mencer said while professors don’t disagree with those decisions specifically, faculty took issue with them being made without faculty input. The group also voted 74-10 with nine abstentions to pass the same measure regarding the job done by Board of Trustees Chairman Jack Miller. Efforts to get a comment from Miller, made via a request through the university, were unsuccessful. Mencer said that vote was meant to send a message to the board that continued unilateral decision-making will not be acceptable. Mencer said had the issues only been an administration and faculty issue the vote against Miller would not have been made. But the trustees were informed of faculty concerns and the board and administrators continued to make decisions without faculty input. “This is not a vote that’s taken to get back at somebody,” Mencer said. “It’s not necessarily about whether this hurts him moving forward.”

cally for Thursday’s hearing. He said the report was completed in November or December by a physician who is treating Lupas for injuries he suffered in a fall. Information contained in the report led him and Blazosek to believe they had at least a “reasonable basis” to question Lupas’ competency, Ruzzo said. U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani, who will preside over the case, has scheduled Lupas’ trial to begin on July 2. That date would likely be postponed if there is a dispute over his competency, however. Ruzzo said he expects the U.S. Attorney’s Office or Mariani will seek to have Lupas examined. A competency hearing would then be held. If the judge determines Lupas is not competent to stand trial, that decision would be subject to periodic review. If his mental condition were to improve, he could be declared competent and the case would go forward, Ruzzo said. In court papers filed April 4, Ruzzo indicated he was discussing a possible plea deal for Lupas. Ruzzo said Thursday any talk of a plea agreement is “premature.”

ment on a project commences.” “Part H approval obligates the Commonwealth to reimburse the project,” state Department of Education spokesman Timothy Eller wrote in an email. “The governor has proposed a moratorium on this program as part of his budget proposal. The moratorium would not affect projects already approved in Part H.” The moratorium is coupled with a proposal to “level fund” the state budget line item that pays for construction reimbursements at $296.1 million for 2012-13, Eller wrote. The fuzzy part of the proposal comes for districts with projects in steps A through G. Those projects “would be the focus of budget negotiations of where the moratorium would be imposed,” Eller wrote. For most Luzerne County districts, this should not be a problem. Major construction projects have been rare lately, in part because money has been tight but also because several districts updated or replace schools in years ago. Dallas School District has some of the most recent pro-

jects, most notably the new high school that cost about $40 million and opened in September. Eller sent a list of various county projects that showed Dallas High School was approved through PlanCon H in 2010. But there are some big projects in the works that have not reached PlanCon H. Hazleton Area bought and is remodeling the former Bishop Hafey High School, which only reached PlanCon C this January. The district is working on a new magnet high school focusing on science, technology, engineering and math in a building in the CAN DO Corporate Center in Butler Township. That project was approved through PlanCon C last November. The district anticipates up to 25 percent reimbursement on the purchase of both buildings – estimated to cost a total of nearly $10 million. Wyoming Valley West is in the middle of a $28 million expansion of State Street Elementary. Business Manager Joe Rodriquez noted that any reduction or delay in expected reimbursements would be a “serious concern.” The district started the budgeting process looking at a shortfall of more than $1.7 million. Anticipated state reimbursements for the construction work is $117,000 for this school year and $362,000 for 2012-13.

He shied away from questions regarding his criminal case and what became of the money he is alleged to have stolen. “I know people want to know, but I have to listen to my representatives,” Lupas said, referring to Ruzzo and his co-council, Joseph Blazosek. “You can’t go over what the lawyers have in mind,” he later continued. “They know what they are doing.” Lupas also said he understood the reporters “have a job to do,” and assured them things would turn out all right for them. “I don’t know if the case will be all right for me,” he said.

Pitcher works season-high six innings, but reliever Miller can’t make effort stand up. AIMEE DILGER/THE TIMES LEADER

Something to remember now

The Times Leader staff

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Dellin Betances pitched a season-high six innings on Thursday against Rochester, but it wasn’t enough as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre fell to the Red Wings 4-3. Betances only gave up two earned runs in his effort along with six hits and he walked six in throwing 108 pitches, 55 for strikes. But he was lifted with the score tied 3-3 and left with a no-decision. Right-hander Adam Miller RED WINGS threw the final three innings for the Yankees and allowed the YANKEES eventual gamewinning run in the top of the eighth when he gave up three hits, including a run-scoring single by Darin Mastroianni to score Joe Benson for a 4-3 lead. Mastroianni then tried to score on the next hit, but was gunned down at the plate by left fielder Dewayne Wise for the Yankees third outfield assist of the game. The Red Wings still snapped their eightgame losing streak and the Yankees’ four-game winning streak. After Rochester went ahead 1-0 in the top of the first, SWB came back with two in the bottom half when Brandon Laird drove in Kevin Russo and Wise with a single for a 2-1 lead. A Laird error led to Rochester tying the game at 2-2 in the top of the second, but the infielder – who was playing first base on Thursday – made up for the miscue in the bottom of the fourth with his second home run of the season. The solo shot helped the Yankees regain the lead at 3-2. Aaron Bates singled in Matt Carson in the top of the fifth as Rochester tied the score at 3-3. Buffalo was the only team of the top four in the International League North Division to win on Thursday. So the Bisons are in first now, a half game ahead of Pawtucket with the Yankees and Lehigh Valley one game back.

Wyoming Area finally ends hex against Tunkhannock.

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON — The guys at Wyoming Area couldn’t remember the last time they had come out on top against Tunkhannock. And for good reason. It hadn’t happened since the two teams landed in the same division four years ago. There were 10 straight losses to the Tigers since that move, including in the 2010 district semifinals and a lopsided shutout to open league play back in April. But not this time.

riors overcame an early fourrun deficit and a late two-run rally to break the hex against their Division I West rival, holding on for an 8-7 win Thursday at Atlas Field. It was the fifth straight victory for the Warriors and a considerable boost of confidence. “It teaches them we can play with anybody,” coach Chick Andrewscavage said. “We’re starting to find that out. … I’m very proud of them and how they keep plugging away.” At 8-3, Wyoming Area has the best record among Class 3A teams in the Wyoming Valley Conference. The Warriors are also the only WVC team this season to beat Wyoming Valley West, which still leads

N.J. slips by Flyers with OT goal By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — Alexei Ponikarovsky scored on his own rebound with 2:39 left in overtime and the New Jersey Devils defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 Thursday night to take a 2-1 lead in this Eastern Conference semifinal series. Patrik Elias, Ilya Kovalchuk and Zach Parise also scored for the Devils, who killed off two penalties in overtime before Ponikarovsky came through with his first goal of the postseason on a backhander that

sneaked past Ilya Bryzgalov. Martin Brodeur made 25 saves for New Jersey, which will look to take a 3-1lead in the best-of-7 series Sunday. Kovalchuk, who missed Game 2 with a lower body injury, also had two assists in his return, including one on the game winner. Danny Briere, Matt Carle and Brayden Schenn tallied for the Flyers. Bryzgalov had 27 saves. Schenn nearly won the game eight minutes into overtime with a deflection in front and then the Devils’ penalty kill did

an outstanding job after a controversial boarding call against Dainius Zubrus with 11:37 left in the overtime and a delay-ofgame penalty against Bryce Salvador. New Jersey had problems with its short-handed lines in Round 1 vs. Florida, but the unit that was ranked No. 1 in the regular season appears to have regained its form. The Devils seemed on the verge of a 3-2 win early in the third when Parise rammed a puck into the net from in close See DEVILS, Page 3B

District 2’s top seed that goes with it. “To be honest with you, playing Dallas or Berwick or Crestwood, you can’t go in there cocky thinking you can beat them or knowing you can beat them,” Coughlin coach Joe Spagnuolo said. “You have to go in there with your Agame and be ready to play because those three teams are always ready to play.” Dallas (10-1) needs to defeat either Berwick on Monday or Crestwood on May 14. “Maybe this is good,” Dallas

DALLAS – Coughlin’s Ivy Nulton thought about striking the penalty kick one way. Then the other. But certainly not straight down the middle like she did. Yet, it was the correct choice Thursday afternoon. Nulton’s goal with 3:49 remaining in the second overtime gave the Crusaders a 1-0 win over Dallas, sending the Mountaineers to their first loss of the season in Wyoming Valley Conference girls soccer.

Turley convinced Seau wanted brain studied after his death

A gym fit for the grueling workout routines

By PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

Dave Duerson made it easy to understand why he was ending his tortured life. Before the former Chicago Bears star fired a bullet into his chest last year, he left word with his family to have his brain examined for damage he believed was caused by repeated blows to the head from his hellbent style on the football field. Junior Seau was an even bigger NFL star, and yet he ended his life Wednesday in much the same way as Duerson and former Atlanta Falcons safety Ray Easterling: selfSee SEAU, Page 6B

That’s pretty impressive considering tomorrow’s first ever double-header at the Downs, with ten races carded for an 11:00 a.m. post and sixteen more races immediately following the running of the 138th Kentucky Derby. On the second live racing program tomorrow is also the running of the $50,000 Van Rose Memorial! Just shaping up to be a great weekend of racing, let’s hope the weather gods cooperate.

Secret weapon jumps Royals over rivals

Teams will swing for big winner

DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Holy Redeemer has many weapons it can show a team during any given match. From All-State player Rob Wingert and all-around solid player Mike Vamos to first-year varsity players in Jeremy and Dylan Myslowski and Brendan Leahigh the Royals could beat a team many different ways. On Thursday, in a battle of the last seven District 2 Class 2A champions against North Pocono, Redeemer unveiled yet another weapon. Wingert, who has been piling up double-digit kills in every match this season, along with Leahigh, used jump serves against the Trojans, helping his team to a 3-0 victory. In winning by scores of 25-17, 25-17, 25-18, the Royals earned their 54th straight Wyoming Valley Conference

victory. “We had been keeping it up our sleeves for the end of the year,” Wingert said about the jump serves. “I’ve been keeping it in my back pocket all year and we broke it out for Coughlin on Monday to try to get it ready for today.” The Royals (10-0) have matches remaining against Berwick and Tunkhannock and could secure their second straight WVC title barring an upset. The Trojans (8-1) have Hanover Area, Coughlin and Crestwood left on their schedule. If things play out as expected, they could be seeing Crestwood (8-1) on May 16, the last day of the regular season, with the conference’s No. 2 seed for the district tournament on the line. Wingert, who registered a triple-double with 17 kills, 10 service points and 10 assists to go along with one ace and five

blocks, was all over the court for the Royals, but so was setter Jeremy Myslowski. The junior seemed to be everywhere either giving a great assist – he had 17 of them – or picking up a big service point, block or kill when needed in a big situation. Myslowski had eight points, seven kills and four blocks. Dylan Myslowski contributed with 11 points and two aces. “They’re pleasant surprises, both of them,” Royals coach Jack Kablick said. “Last year, they both played JV only. Jeremy is a great hitter for his size. His technique is great and he has deceiving power. He had a great game. Everyone usually talks about Rob and Mike, but there’s great support out here for them.” In Game 1, the Royals led the whole way, but their biggest lead before going on a fourpoint run to end the game was by just five points. North Poco-

no got within one point once and two points three times. “This year, we have been notorious for starting slowly and we wanted to start quick this game,” Wingert added. “Between the entire team, we got off to a quick start and we set the tempo and emotion for what the whole night would be like.” The second game was even closer, consisting of seven ties and four lead changes. The biggest lead either team had was by two points until Wingert had two consecutive service winners and Dylan Myslowski followed with a kill to give the Royals a 19-15 advantage. Myslowski followed with two more kills in the game as the Royals finished on a six-point run. Like the first game, the Royals led throughout the third game after North Pocono took a 1-0 lead. Redeemer took its first

lead at 2-1, and after a Wingert kill made the score 5-4, Holy Redeemer wouldn’t relinquish a lead the rest of the way. The match ended with an emphatic kill from Wingert, his 17th of the night. Vamos ended the contest with nine kills, five blocks, five points and four digs. Lake-Lehman 3, Berwick 0

Brent Oliver scored 15 service points along with 18 assists and four aces to lead Lake-Lehman to a win against Berwick by scores of 25-15, 25-10 and 25-12. Kevin Masters followed with eight points, three kills and three blocks while Scott Judson had five blocks and two kills. For the Bulldogs, Kyle Venditti chipped in with three points, five digs and six kills and Atmiya Patel contributed with five points and two aces.

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL

Warriors work way to the top JOHN MEDEIROS jmedeiros@timesleader.com

WEST PITTSTON – Wyoming Area put pressure on WVC Division I West leader Tunkhannock throughout their game, and the Warriors left Atlas Field with a share of the division lead on the strength of a 2-0 victory Thursday. “They’ll have days off the next two days,” said first-year coach Stephanie Griffin, whose Warriors have nearly doubled last season’s win total. “That’s rare for them. But they’ve worked really hard and they’ve earned it.” Alex Holtz worked a four-hit gem for Wyoming Area. She saw just one Tigers runner reach third base against her, as she faced runners on second and third with none out in the second inning. Holtz proceeded to induce a foul pop and then fanned the next two batters to spoil the threat. “Alex pitched a whale of a ball game,” Tunkhannock coach John Keefe said. “We would get a hit and she’d bear down. What’d she do, strike out the final 4-5 batters (it was four, and seven in all)? “Today, Wyoming Area was definitely the better team. Frustrated might be one of the words I’d use to describe it. Disappointed. We’re better than what we showed today.” Holtz’s counterpart, Tunk-

hannock’s Jamie Hampsey allowed just two hits and took the loss on the strength of two unearned runs. The Tigers committed three errors in the game – two of them were cashed in by the Warriors. “I was proud of the job she did,” Keefe said. “We didn’t hit and we made mental mistakes. Against a team the quality of them, that’s dangerous.” The Warriors had their leadoff batter on base in each of the first four innings, but managed just one run during that stretch. Kate Kross walked to open the second inning and, two batters later, scored from second when Julez DeAngelo reached on an error. In the fifth, Lindsay Carey delivered a two-out single to left to score Serra Degnan with an insurance run for Holtz. “We’re down three girls and one other just came back today,” Griffin said. “We’re moving around our lineup and moving around our defense. They’ve all been coming through when we really needed them, and you can’t ask for more than that.” Wyo. Area 2, Tunkhannock 0 Tunkhannock MHampsey 2b Kromko ss Inman 3b Brennan lf

Dallas, Holy Redeemer in action as district team tournament opens today.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

The high school tennis postseason is one of the longest and exciting in the PIAA because there are so many scenarios that could play out in the team, singles and doubles tournaments. In District 2, the events start today with the Class 2A team tournament, and the whole season winds down on May 25 with the PIAA Singles and Doubles Championships. Two matches will take place this afternoon with No. 5 seed Holy Redeemer (8-4) traveling to Valley View (8-3) to face the fourth-seeded Cougars. The other quarterfinal to be held today at 4 p.m. pits the sixth seed, Dallas (8-4) against No. 3 seed Holy Cross (7-2) at the University of Scranton. The winners will advance to the semifinals, which will be held Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at Kirby Park. The finals are also slated for Tuesday at the same site. The four quarterfinalists are playing for a chance to face one of two unbeatens, either Wyoming Seminary (12-0) or Scranton Prep (11-0). The Blue Knights are the two-time defending 2A champions and advanced all the way to the semifinals of the PIAA Championships in 2011 before falling to eventual state champion Holy Ghost Prep. The Class 3A tournament pairings will be released today and the semifinals and finals will also be held on Tuesday at Kirby Park. The top seed from the Wyoming Valley Conference in 3A is Crestwood, which enters the event with a mark of 11-1, its only loss coming to Wyoming Seminary. The Comets will be trying to match up with the No. 1 seed from the Lackawanna League, unbeaten Abington Heights, entering with a 12-0 mark. The district champions in each classification advance to the first round of the PIAA Championships to be held May 15. A win in the first round means the team will move on to the PIAA Championships at the Hershey Racquet Club on May 18-19. Following the D2 team championships, the district’s singles tournaments will begin next week with the first three rounds Thursday, May 10 and the semifinals and finals Friday, May 11. The following week will consist of the D2 doubles events on May 16 and 17. The site for all these events will be Kirby Park, unless the weather is inclement. The draw for the singles and doubles events will be held on Tuesday. in from the point for a shot that whizzed by Brodeur. The goal came minutes after Bryzgalov stopped Adam Henrique on a breakaway to prevent New Jersey from taking a 3-1 lead. After falling behind1-0 early, the Devils outshot Philadelphia 10-3 and grabbed the lead when Elias and Kovalchuk tallied in a 20-second span, the fastest two postseason goals in franchise history. Kovalchuk, the Devils’ leading scorer in the regular season, missed Game 2 with a lower body injury. However, he had his legs in the opening period and it paid off for New Jersey. With Braydon Coburn off for tripping, Elias tied the score with a shot from the right circle that went off Bryzgalov’s glove. Kovalchuk snared the secondary assist on the play, sending a pass from the left point to defenseman Marek Zidlicky, who slid it to Elias. Kovalchuk’s goal came on a quick counterattack in which he came late down the middle, took a pass from Travis Zajac and wristed a shot past the Flyers’ goalie. The Russian, who had never been part of a winning team in an NHL series until this year’s first round vs. the Panthers, pumped his fists and celebrated his fourth goal.

Knicks just can’t beat the Heat Patriots cruise The Associated Press

NEW YORK — LeBron James scored 32 points, including eight straight to start the fourth quarter and break open the game, and the Miami Heat took a 3-0 lead, sending the New York Knicks to an NBA postseasonrecord 13th straight loss, 87-70 on Thursday night. James had 17 points in the final period for the Heat, who held the short-handed Knicks to eight field goals in the second half and will go for the sweep Sunday afternoon. Dwyane Wade added 20 points for the Heat and Mario Chalmers had 19, hitting consecutive 3-pointers in the fourth quarter when the Heat finally brought some beauty to what had been an ugly game. Carmelo Anthony scored 22 points but shot 7 of 23 for the Knicks, who are playing with-

out Amare Stoudemire, Jeremy Lin and Iman Shumpert and needed a super effort from Anthony that he didn’t come close to providing. The Knicks broke the record set by Memphis from 2004-06. They haven’t won a playoff game since April 29, 2001, Game 3 of a best-of-five series against Toronto. In a sloppy game between two star-studded teams, Miami went 10 minutes without a field goal in the second half, followed by the Knicks managing just three baskets in the third quarter. Then James took over. He came off the bench to start the fourth after sitting most of the third in foul trouble, quickly providing the best offensive AP PHOTO stretch in the game. The Heat then put it away midway New York Knicks forward Jared Jeffries, left, tries to block a through the period. shot by Miami Heat forward LeBron James (6) on Thursday.

Weaver was right at home throwing no-hitter Southern California kid’s gem was a family affair in front of his parents and fans. The Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Dave Weaver was in his usual seat, 20 rows behind home plate, drinking a beer and shouting instructions to his son in the quiet lulls between pitches. His wife, Gail, was alongside him, calmly enjoying a little night baseball. It really could have been any night in three lives filled with similar evenings at ballparks all across Southern California.

Instead, Jered Weaver made an ordinary Wednesday at Angel Stadium unforgettable for the close-knit family that put him on that mound. The Los Angeles Angels ace threw his first no-hitter in dazzling style, allowing just two baserunners while beating the Minnesota Twins 9-0 with a merciless array of pitches first taught to him by his father. After Weaver celebrated with his teammates, his parents and wife joined him on the field, gathering for a tearsoaked group hug he’ll remember as vibrantly as his near-perfection. “It was an unbelievable experience to be able to have them

come down on the field and share some tears,” Weaver said. “It’s special for my dad to be here. It’s been a long road, and he’s been here all the way.” Dave Weaver raised two major league pitchers on the other end of the Los Angeles metroplex, passing his love for baseball to Jeff and Jered through years of coaching and support. He attends nearly every home game Jered pitches, and only Jeff’s World Series victory was more memorable than Jered’s overpowering no-hitter. “It’s just a dream come true for him,” Dave Weaver said. “He was so excited and jubilant. He’s been

close so many times, but to get this win at this point in their season is tremendous.” Indeed, a 7-15 start and newcomer Albert Pujols’ homerless April had slowed the Angels’ momentum in a season of high expectations. But on the same day the Dodgers introduced their new ownership group, Weaver shoved them off Los Angeles’ front pages with his first no-hitter — the Angels’ 10th, and their second in less than a year — to finish up a three-game sweep of Minnesota. “Guys were picking me up left and right,” Weaver said. “We scored some runs early and took

Seau death was suicide

inflicted gunshot wounds. Now friends wonder if the San Diego icon hoped his death might leave a greater legacy than any of his amazing feats on the gridiron. Former player Kyle Turley has no doubt that Seau wanted to make sure his brain could be studied for the telltale signs of football-related trauma. “I don’t care what anybody says,” Turley told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday. “I know why he did it.” Seau’s death was ruled a suicide by the San Diego County medical examiner’s office after an autopsy Thursday. Officials were awaiting a decision by the family on whether to turn over Seau’s brain to unidentified outside researchers for study. A more indepth investigative report could take up to 90 days. Seau, 43, was one of the NFL’s most rugged players, a fierce-hitting linebacker selected for the Pro Bowl a dozen years in a row. He played for three teams over two decades, far longer than the average football career, before finally retiring for good at age 40. Three years later, he decided to end his life. There were signs of trouble away from the field: a divorce, a domestic violence charge involving his girlfriend, though he was never formally

SAN DIEGO — Junior Seau’s death has been ruled a suicide by the San Diego County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy Thursday confirmed that the former NFL linebacker died of a gunshot wound to the chest, the medical examiner’s office said. The office said further details would be released in a final investigative report, which may take up to 90 days to complete. Officials said they were awaiting a decision by the family on whether to turn over Seau’s brain to unidentified outside researchers for study. Seau died Wednesday in his home in suburban Oceanside. Police Chief Frank McCoy said Seau’s girlfriend reported finding him unconscious with a gunshot wound to the chest and lifesaving efforts were unsuccessful. A gun was found near him, McCoy said. Police said no suicide note was found and they didn’t immediately know who the gun was registered to. Seau’s ex-wife, Gina, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Seau sustained concussions during his 20-year career.

charged. Hours before his arrest, his car plunged over a 100-foot cliff in what some speculated was an attempt to kill himself. Seau survived with only minor injuries and insisted that he had simply fallen asleep at the wheel. Seau never indicated publicly he was having trouble with life after the NFL because of all those head injuries, and his family said he seemed happy. That’s a far cry from Easterling, who died last month at age 62. He suffered from dementia and led a lawsuit filed by a number of prominent retired players, claim-

ing the league didn’t do enough to deal with concussion-related injuries. Notably, Seau didn’t join that lawsuit. Also, it’s not known if he wanted Boston University, which has been conducting research into football-related head trauma, to study his brain for signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease that can be caused by multiple concussions and only detected after death. Thomas Demetrio, an attorney for the Duerson family, is not willing to say that Seau had the same motivation for ending his life.

Unusually strong bounty evidence punishing Saints The Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — A former U.S. attorney hired by the NFL to evaluate its investigation of the New Orleans Saints’ bounty program said Thursday the evidence shows players received payments for hits on targeted opponents. Mary Jo White said in a conference call that evidence in the league’s investigation of the three-year pay-for-pain system provided “an unusually strong record” and came from people with “firsthand knowledge and corroborated by documentation.” When asked twice whether any players actually were paid for hits, White confirmed they were without going into specifics. She added that most of the money in the bounty scheme was provided by the players. “Without them, there wouldn’t have been a bounty program,” she said. White, the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of

New York, was asked last December by the NFL to examine the evidence. “The factual basis for the sanctions is quite strong in my opinion,” she said. “You must safeguard the identity of people that provide information to you in order to protect them, and also to encourage others in the future to come forward with evidence of wrongdoing. This is certainly not a one-on-one, he-said, she-said record at all. This is multiple independent sources.” White saw no merit in complaints from the players’ union that it had not received, “detailed or specific evidence from the league of specific players’ involvement in an alleged pay-to-injure program.” “The players sanctioned all activity and enthusiastically embraced this program,” White said. “They always had the option to say no. They didn’t say no.

NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL

Unsportsmanlike conduct on Irish QB Rees arrested running from drinking party while LB Calabrese threatens police. The Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees was pepper-sprayed and arrested early Thursday after he allegedly ran from away from an off-campus party and knocked the wind out of a police officer who caught up to him. A probable cause affidavit says the 6-2, 210-pound Rees continued to resist even after being knocked down by police Officer Brandon Stec, so Stec used pepper spray and was finally able to subdue him with the help of other officers. Police Capt. Phil Trent said linebacker Carlo Calabrese tried to talk to police, asking them why

they don’t like Notre Dame. Trent said Calabrese eventually grew angry and twice told officers: “My people will get Rees you.” The 19-year-old Rees was charged with one count of battery, two counts of resisting law enforcement and one count of illegal consumption of alcohol by a minor. Trent said Rees registered 0.11 percent on a blood-alcohol test. Rees was released on a $250 cash bond late Thursday afternoon. Prosecutors said they were still reviewing the preliminary misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct against Calabrese and would make a charging decision on Friday. He was released on $150 bond.

Rees was among about five people who jumped a backyard fence and ran after officers arrived to break up a party several blocks from campus about 12:30 a.m. following the last day of Notre Dame’s spring semester classes, Trent said. The affidavit says Stec chased Rees, continually saying he was a police officer and continually telling him to stop, but Rees refused. When he ran out into the street, a passing taxi driver heard Stec ordering Rees to stop and maneuvered his car to block Rees’ path, the affidavit said. When Stec caught up with Rees, the quarterback “used his right knee to hit Officer Stec in the lower chest area, knocking the wind out of him, making it difficult to breath,” the affidavit says. Coach Brian Kelly said he was aware of the incident.

Yanks’ Rivera tears ACL; career in jeopardy

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Mariano Rivera tore a ligament in his right knee before the New York Yankees lost 4-3 to the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. The 42-year-old righthander was carted off the field after twisting his right knee shagging fly balls during batting practice. Manager Joe Girardi revealed the severity of the injury after the game. Royals team doctor Vincent Key diagnosed a torn ACL, an injury that could potentially end Rivera’s career “This is bad, there’s no question about it,” Girardi. “ Baseball’s career saves leader was tracking down a ball hit by Jayson Nix in deep center field when his right knee appeared to buckle a step before the wall. He fell to the warning track and immediately grabbed his right knee, briefly covering his face with his glove and grimacing in pain. Bullpen coach Mike Har-

CROSSFIT Continued from Page 1B

tion in 2007, the CrossFit Games has become an event that has ascended through the ranks of the most grueling tests of overall physical fitness. For Morton though, it’s another day spent doing exactly what he wants to do. “What I like so much about it, about CrossFit is, it’s not just about walking into a gym, putting on your headphones, spending some time on the treadmill and going home,” he said. “The classes that I teach, everyone comes in, everyone pushes each other to try a little harder than the day before and we work as hard as we can for anywhere from five to twenty minutes.” While Morton maintains that anyone can come into the gym and try the CrossFit approach, he does see it’s appeal to a certain type. The hyperactive. “Basically, a normal week for us is five days a week,” Morton said, “up to but no more than an hour a day, doing anything from Olympic lifts, to bodyweight exercises, to running to rowing and including these combinations in small intense workouts. It’s a very random assortment and it keeps everyone guessing about what’s going to come next. For example, maybe one day we do a seven-mile run and the next day we’re doing Olympic lifts like the deadlift and then we don’t do either of those for a few days.” And it’s that random assortment that has become the cornerstone of CrossFit workouts – the belief that doing some of everything is going to be a much better fit for a competitor than the belief of doing the same thing to exhaustion. “The days of the bigger the better are over with,” said Morton. “Now, the guy who is good at everything is going to be on top. When I was in the corps (Morton is a former scout sniper and team leader from a Special Ops. unit of the U.S. Marine

key was near Rivera when he went down, and he was the first to whistle for help. Girardi was watching batting practice from behind home plate and started running down, cutting across the outfield to get to his closer. Near home plate, teammate Alex Rodriguez could be seen saying, “Oh, my God. Oh, my God.” Harkey and Girardi helped to carry Rivera to the cart, gently setting him into the back with his knee propped up. The cart rounded the warning track before disappearing up a tunnel. Rivera (1-1) blew the save on opening day, but he’s only allowed two hits in eight scoreless innings since then, picking up five of his 608 career saves. The remarkably durable reliever hinted during spring training that this could be his final year in the major leagues, but also said that he won’t announce his longterm plans until after the season. Crops) our training was starting to move towards this style and once I was doing crossfit workouts I immediately noticed a difference. “The way I used to work out was rooted in the bodybuilding style, which is doing a lot of weight with a few exercises. I got to be a pretty big guy and then one day I found myself in a crossfit kind of contest with a guy who had been working out with the crossfit style and, naturally, after I talked some trash, he won it pretty easily. From then on, it’s just been a complete change for me.” Once he was out of the Corps., Morton’s wife took a job in Hazleton and the couple moved to Drums, where Morton says he saw a gap in the availability of CrossFit gyms. Wanting to continue what he had started, he opened NEPA CrossFit, located in Wilkes-Barre, and saw an instant growth in his company. Now, he and his wife both work there fulltime as the gym closes in on its third year of operation in June. “We run our own events locally and everyone does the exact same workouts and someone judges you and all scores are posted globally,” said Morton, who has earned the rankings of 12th in the region and 128th – out of more than 25,000 competitors – in the world. While having worked his way to his respectable rankings, Morton is not quick to let it get to his head. When asked if he thinks he can win the Regionals Tournament his answer was quick and definite, though far from negative sounding: “Oh, God no. Nowhere even totally close. “That’s something that I think is so great about it. You keep from getting a big head because there’s a guy who can come out of left field and I can’t hold a candle to them,” continued Morton. “I’d love to think I can hang with some of the best, but, there’s a world of difference between the guy above me. But it just pushes me harder because I know that, in CrossFit, the potential for human potential is unlimited.”

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs will have surgery for a partially torn Achilles tendon, an injury he insists will not keep him sidelined for the entire 2012 season. The injury occurred in Arizona while Suggs was practicing for an upcoming conditioning test, he said Thursday in a text message. Suggs initially thought it was a sprain but a doctor determined that it was a partial tear, he said. The Ravens issued a statement Thursday saying: “We are in contact with Terrell. He will see a specialist early next week, and we’ll know more at that time.”

Suggs, the AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2011, is expected to have surgery as soon as next week. A torn Achilles tendon usually requires a lengthy rehabilitation program, but Suggs has no intention of sitting out the year. Asked if he will play in 2012, he responded, “”Absolutely,” and projected his return to occur in late October or November. The injury is a major blow to a stout defense that also features linebacker Ray Lewis, safety Ed Reed and tackle Haloti Ngata. Suggs had 14 sacks last season, forced a franchise-record seven fumbles and received his fifth Pro Bowl invitation in helping the Ravens win the AFC North with a 12-4 record. Suggs has played nine seasons

HARRISBURG – Extended benefits for about 30,000 unemployed Pennsylvanians will expire at the end of next week. The U.S. Department of Labor has notified Pennsylvania that the state’s declining unemployment rate is too low to authorize continued payment of extended benefits, or EB, the Department of Labor & Industry announced on Thursday. The EB program provided 13 weeks of unemployment benefits beyond federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation, or EUC, and 26 weeks of Claimants state-funded un- currently employment filing for EB compensation. The last paya- may continue ble week of EB to file claims will be the week for weeks ending May 12. Claimants cur- they are fully rently filing for or partially EB may continue unemployed to file claims for through May weeks they are 12. fully or partially unemployed through May 12. The department will notify affected individuals by mail. Federally funded EB is a separate program from federally funded EUC. The EUC program and participants are not affected by the end of extended benefits in Pennsylvania. Over the past year, Pennsylvania’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped 1.2 percentage points, to 7.5 percent, in March. Locally, the unemployment rate dropped half of a percentage point, to 8.7 percent, since March 2011, while the state and U.S. rates were down fourtenths and seven-tenths, respectively. What triggered the cessation of emergency benefits wasn’t necessarily reaching a certain threshold, said Christopher Manlove, spokesman for the state Department of Labor & Industry. “It isn’t so much the change to 7.5 percent in March, it’s the declining rate over time,” he said. Numbers of those affected by county were not immediately available, Manlove said. To learn more about employment services, visit your local Pennsylvania CareerLink office.

Kraft earnings edge up

Kraft Foods Inc. says its first-quarter net income rose slightly as it hiked prices to make up for rising ingredient costs. The parent company of Nabisco, Velveeta, Miracle Whip and other brands says it earned $813 million, or 46 cents per share, in the first three months of the year. Revenue rose 4 percent to $13.1 billion. Kraft is preparing to split into two publicly traded companies this year. Kraft employs about 670 (2012, after 60 layoffs announced Jan. 2012) at its offices in Hanover Industrial Estates, doing information technology, customer service, online sales support and financial accounting work.

Borough residents will remember the building was once the home of Bob’s Café and the new owners of the building say the bar will reopen later this year. Tony Mullen, Pedro Reyes and Peter Sonnefeld are the new owners/operators of The Comfort Zone, located at West Main and Davenport streets. The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mullen, 67, comes from New York City where his 35 years of restaurant ex-

The menu includes sandwiches and wraps, pancakes and French toast, salads, burgers and hot dogs, and platters of chicken, meat loaf, turkey, ham, fish and seafood. Mullen said the group is looking to purchase a liquor license to open the bar adjacent to the restaurant, but he doesn’t expect that to happen until the end of the year. “This is definitely a lifestyle change for me,” Mullen said. “I’ve always been a New Yorker – high school, college, I did everything in New York.” Mullen, a widower, has three daughters, five grandchildren and three greatgrandchildren. On Thursday a deliveryman brought a bouquet of flowers and Mullen lit up when he read the card. “It’s from one of my daughters and two of my grandchildren,” he said with a wide smile. “This makes my day.”

perience includes stops at Tavern on the Green and The Stork Club in Manhattan. He and his partners purchased the building five years ago and began remodeling it four years ago. “We ran out of money two years ago, but now we’re here to stay,” Mullen said. “I like the busyness of Main Street and the people are very friendly and welcoming. We all just liked the neighborhood.” The Comfort Zone will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mullen said hours are flexible.

Today will feature a summerlike combination of heat and humidity and conditions will be ripe for a thunderstorm later this afternoon. Early tonight, the wind will veer clockwise from west to north behind a cold front and this will usher in cooler and less humid weather for the weekend. Expect a good deal of sunshine both days with no rain. Under a gorgeous full moon tomorrow night, readings will dip down into the 40s. For most of next week, our temperatures will trend below normal with more rain possible heading into Tuesday. - Tom Clark
