State’s contaminated acid minewater is proposed to help with unlocking natural gas. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

Pennsylvania has a vast supply of contaminated water flowing daily from its abandoned mine works; 300 million gallons a day by the state’s estimate. The natural gas industry needs vast quantities of water to unlock

gas from the Marcellus Shale; between 2 million and 10 million gallons to stimulate a well a single time. Using the state’s latest natural resource boom to clean up the legacy of the last one seems like a natural pairing, and it’s one state and environmental regulators as well as the natural gas drilling industry are taking seriously. At the suggestion of the Governor’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission last year, the state Department of Environmental

Brush your teeth? Check. Take a shower? Check. Put your pants on? Hopefully. Put your socks on? … If you answered “yes” to that question, then the people who invented “No Socks Day” would like a word with you. The idea is that by freeing your toes from the confines of their cotton-based bondage, your feet get a little fresh air, and you have less laundry to do. “No Socks Day” is this Tuesday, and is only advisable for those who have washed their feet before desocking.

Kerkowski. Their bodies were found on June 5, 2003, buried in a hole on a property in Kingston Selenski Township where their accused killer Hugo Selenski lived. His trial in Luzerne County Court has been repeatedly delayed and the wait for the latest scheduled start on Sept. 10, the seventh date since May 2006, has been agonizing for Sands as she seeks an end to her misery and justice for her sister. “None of us should have to go through this,” said Sands. “This has gone on way too long for all us.” As much as she tried to turn her focus away from the tragedy, it drew her back to it. “She didn’t have a mean bone in her body like me. I guess I got the guts,” she joked. “She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and she is sadly missed by each and every one of us.” The two talked frequently, and Sands said she still remembers his sister’s phone number. “I hope that when this is all said and done that she can rest in peace … and go with God,” added Sands.

BRAINTRIM TWP. – Sisters talk to one another, while best friends confide in each other. Lisa Sands did both with her younger sister Tammy Lynn Fassett. With approximately 20 family members and friends, Sands, 47, of Meshoppen, stood under a cloud-dappled blue sky at her sister’s grave in the Lacey Street Cemetery in Wyoming County. Many of them held a pair of plastic white and yellow roses Sands handed out from a plastic shopping bag. A tag attached to the roses by white ribbon tied in a bow read: “In Celebration of her life Tammy Lynn Sands Fassett February 16, 1966 – May 3, 2002.” The sisters were inseparable and formed a still-solid bond. “We didn’t just grow up together. We could tell each other our secrets and we knew that it would be safe with each other,” said Sands before choking up to hold back tears. “This is hard,” she said, pausing to compose herself. Thursday was the 10th anniversary of Fassett’s death, coinciding with when she went missing with Michael Jason See SELENSKI, Page 10A

From India with lots of love Ethnic wedding thrills W-B

By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – A part of downtown was alive Sunday morning with the color and sound that accompanied the traditional Indian wedding cremony for Shachi Patel to Yogan Patel. The lively event included a “Baraat,” an hour-long procession of the groom and his family to meet his bride. The ceremony mixed the traditional and the contemporary, as DJ Raj Gandhi encouraged those gathered to “put your hands up” to traditional music chosen by the couple. Six hundred guests attended the event, which included a formal reception followed by a blessing upon the departure of the newly married couple. Most wore traditional Indian dress, the men donning red headgear and women in beautiful, bright-colored sarees, clothing that highlighted the importance of weddings and marriage within their Indian culture. Traffic was directed away from Pennsylvania Avenue and Market Street to enable a horse- drawn carriage to carry the groom through that area of town. Amid colorful fireworks, wedding guests formed a procession through the street and many area residents gathered to see the extraordinary celebration.

“I have visited India and participated in a wedding before,” said Jill Price, WilkesBarre, as she snapped pictures with her cellphone. “It is truly inspiring.” Price’s son, Gus, 3, was also mesmerized by the celebration. Daniel, the white gelding that carried the groom to his bride, was also well-behaved and well dressed in traditional red and gold. Vito Sperduto, one of the horse’s handlers, commented on the family spirit with which Indian weddings are held. “I see a unity within these Indian families which reflects on their commitment to marriage and family,” said Sperduto, who added that many of the guests had traveled long distances to be there. The bride, who came to greet the groom with her uncles and brothers under the wedding canopy, was also clothed in an ornate garment. The couple danced to special music selected by the bride. Guest Minal Dham said that although the Indian ceremony is filled with color, laughter and sound it a very serious event. “The ceremony and laughter are often followed by many tears, as the bride’s family offers her to the groom,” said Dham, who also had been married in a traditional ceremony,

The bride, Shachi Patel, is carried into the wedding Sunday over a runner covered in rose petals. The event featured traditional Indian practices and rituals. For CLICK photos, see 1C.

“Each family makes the ceremony their own, so they vary a bit from family to family,” said Dham, “but always based on tradition.” Many of the guests were grateful for the opportunity to “return to their roots” and the tradition in which they were raised. The ceremony included the recitation of seven vows, requesting lifelong support from each other, and seven married women whispering blessings into the bride’s ear. “This is who we are and how we grew up,” Rachana Patel said.

WILKES-BARRE -- There was no shortage of smiles on Public Square on Sunday when World Laughter Day chuckled and giggled its way into the city for the afternoon. The day is an international festivity established in 1998 by Dr. Madan Kataria, who introduced the world to Laughter Yoga. It has been celebrated in Scranton for the past several years, but this is the first time it has made its way into Luzerne County, thanks to Leadership Wilkes-Barre.

LOS ANGELES — Hulk, smash. That’s what Captain America tells the Incredible Hulk to do in “The Avengers,” and that’s what the Marvel Comics superhero mash-up did at the box office, smashing the domestic revenue record with a $200.3 million debut. It’s by far the biggest opening ever, shooting past the previous record of $169.2 million for the debut of last year’s “Harry Potter” finale. “The Avengers” added $151.5 million overseas over the weekend to bring its total to $441.5 million since it began opening internationally a week earlier. That raised the film’s worldwide haul to $641.8 million in barely a week and a half, more than its Marvel superhero forerunners “Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor” and “Captain America” took in during their entire runs. 1. “The Avengers,” $200.3 million ($151.5 million international). 2. “Think Like a Man,” $8 million. 3. “The Hunger Games,” $5.7 million ($4.3 million international). 4. “The Lucky One,” $5.5 million ($5.5 million international). 5. “The Pirates! Band of Misfits,” $5.4 million ($2.6 million international). 6. “The Five-Year Engagement,” $5.1 million ($2.3 million international). 7. “The Raven,” $2.5 million. 8. “Safe,” $2.47 million ($2.2 million international). 9. “Chimpanzee,” $2.4 million. 10. “The Three Stooges,” $1.8 million.

WILKES-BARRE -- Excellence is a term used to describe things that surpass ordinary standards. At a worldwide event this weekend, the mark of excellence will be awarded to a local organization. Chosen from more than 250 programs submitted from Jewish community centers around

the country, the Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley will be receiving two national “Excellence in Programming” awards at the JCCs of North America Biennial, which runs though Wednesday in New Orleans.

Greenberg credits the dedication of JCC members and volunteers for the recognition. “We have so many people that give up their time and help us,” he said. “It’s very fulfilling to be given these awards.” The awards, presented for the Tallis Weaving Program and Children’s Holocaust Programs, are in the group of “Outstanding Visionary Initiatives” in the categories of Jewish Impact and Programmatic Excellence and User Engagement.

Students get failing grade for conduct Neighbor says W-B college getting bill for damage done to her property.

By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – It’s getting harder for Bethann Geiser to be a good neighbor to the King’s College students living near her on North Main Street. She said she has lived with the noise from weekend parties, picked beer cans and bottles from her yard and acted reasonably dealing with parking problems. When she found her front wall in pieces on the sidewalk a week ago her usually calm demeanor crumbled as well. “They’ve definitely pushed me over the edge with this,” she said. One estimate she has received to repair the damage was $5,000. After she selects a contractor and the work is done, King’s is getting the bill, she said. No one from the school has been identified as causing the damage and King’s expects its students to abide by the college’s code of conduct on and off campus. The school sends letters each summer to students planning to live off campus on their responsibilities as good neighbors, said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Robert McGonigle As for the bill, he said in an email, “if the person who damaged the wall is identified we would help through the disciplinary process of trying to have that person pay restitution.” Geiser acknowledged she does not know who damaged her wall. But her suspicions on who did it are based on her past dealings with students living in nearby apartment buildings and the

Initially she thought there was a car crash and looked out her first-floor bedroom window. “All I saw was a mob,” she said. The large crowd obstructed traffic on the street. Geiser called Luzerne County 911 and reported what she believed was a fight. The call taker asked if knives were involved. “I told her I wasn’t going to check,” said Geiser. By the time police responded the crowd dispersed. A neighbor saw the wall toppled and

lying on the sidewalk. Geiser said she didn’t see the damage until the next day. She filed a police report and police put up caution tape that is still in place. Frequent police patrols in the area would cut down on the problems, she said, adding, “You’ve got to have a deterrent.” The school has hired city police to conduct extra patrols in the neighborhood and in conjunction with Wilkes University received a grant through the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board for weekend patrols, said McGonigle. Still, the students stroll along the street going from party to party and the problems persist, said Geiser. “I lived here 40 years,” she said. “I’ve seen it getting progressively worse.”

Kozy cots comfort for shelter pets

Hazleton man builds animal beds so area shelters can help their critters. By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

HAZLETON -- The mere thought of the conditions some shelter animals have to sleep in is enough to bring Paul Kattner to tears. “You think about them, these little guys, having to sleep on cold concrete,” he said, voice cracking, tears in his eyes. “It’s terrible.” Fortunately, in late January, the Hazleton resident put the wheels in motion for what he hopes to be a help for our furry friends who seek comfort. Kattner started Beds 4 Paws, a four-person operation that puts out what are essentially cots for pets. To date, the group has made 120 beds given to five different shelters, including Blue Chip Animal Refuge in Dallas and Griffin Pond Animal Shelter in Clarks Summit. The beds are made from canvas and PVC pipes and can be made in small, medium and large sizes. The canvas is material for awnings and is not only durable, but also easy to wash. “It’s a process that takes about 40 to 50 minutes from start to finish, with the sewing being the most difficult part,” Kattner said. The beds start with a pre-cut pattern that’s traced onto canvas and cut out. The cut material is then given to Darlene Vanblargan, who sews it. Other volunteers include Dave Silberg and Jane Leib. “She turns the material 16

times, sewing the corners and creating what I call pipe pockets,” Kattner said. Next, the pipes are slid into their pockets. Small beds use 1inch pipes, while large beds use 1 ¼-inch size. The pipes are hammered into t-shaped connectors, forming a rectangle. This creates a taut base that is used as the bed. Feet of about 5 inches are added to the bottom of the entire thing. Though the process is easy and somewhat quick, Kattner said volunteer help is always appreciated. “Even if someone could give us one, two hours a week, that would be a huge help.” Donations are also a benefit.

Kattner said the pipe is the most expensive part, with the connectors coming in at $1.30 apiece and the pipe itself costing up to $5 a length. When donating beds to a shelter, Kattner gives a mixed bag of two small, four medium and six large. He not only hopes to provide beds to shelters, but spread the knowledge of how to make them as well. “We want to be able to teach the shelters how to do this. I have a CD of Power Point slides that certified animal rescues can get to show them the process,” he said. “We just think of the animals and we really want to provide for them,” Kattner said. “If any

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN

Soldier fires on troops

An Afghan soldier killed a NATO trooper before being shot to death in return fire Sunday in southern Afghanistan, the latest in a series of attacks against foreigners blamed on government forces within their own ranks. Nearly 20 such attacks this year have raised the level of mistrust between the U.S.-led coalition and their Afghan partners as NATO gears up to hand over security to local forces ahead of a 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of combat troops. In another sign of deteriorating security, the United States is considering abandoning plans for a consulate in the country’s north because the building chosen was deemed too dangerous to occupy. The U.S. spent $80 million on the project despite glaring security deficiencies in the former hotel, according to a copy of a document drafted by the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. LOUISVILLE, KY.

Death at Derby is homicide

The discovery of a man’s body Sunday in the stable area of Churchill Downs was being investigated as a homicide, but there appears to be no connection to the race track or the Kentucky Derby, police said. “At this point we don’t have anything pointing to the fact that this had any association with Churchill Downs or the Derby itself,” said Alicia Smiley, spokeswoman for Louisville Metro Police. “We are still investigating at the stables and at the barn.” She said they are trying to determine the man’s identity and how it happened. Smiley said the death is being investigated as a homicide. “He did sustain injuries that lead us to believe he was involved in some type of altercation,” Smiley said. The body was found at the back of a barn occupied by Louisville trainer Angel Montano Sr. NASHVILLE, TENN

TV’s Goober Pyle dies

George Lindsey, who spent nearly 30 years as the grinning Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” and “Hee Haw,” has died. He was 83. The Marshall-Donnelly-Combs Funeral Home in Nashville said Lindsay died early Sunday morning after a brief illness. Funeral arrangements were still being made. Lindsey was the beanie-wearing Goober on “The Andy Griffith Show” from 1964 to 1968 and its successor, “Mayberry RFD,” from 1968 to 1971. He played the same jovial character — a service station attendant — on “Hee Haw” from 1971 until it went out of production in 1993. He joined “The Andy Griffith Show” in 1964 when Jim Nabors, portraying Gomer Pyle, left the program. Goober Pyle, who had been mentioned on the show as Gomer’s cousin, replaced him.

French upheaval

By ANGELA CHARLTON and ELAINE GANLEY

Associated Press

ARIS — Socialist Francois Hollande defeated conservative incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy on Sunday to become France’s next president, heralding a change in how Europe tackles its debt crisis and how France flexes its military and diplomatic muscle around the world. Exuberant, diverse crowds filled the Place de la Bastille, the iconic plaza of the French Revolution, to fete Hollande’s victory, waving French, European and labor union flags and climbing its central column. Leftists are overjoyed to have one of their own in power for the first time since Socialist Francois Mitterrand was president from 1981 to 1995.

GOP leans toward Romney The Republican candidate still has work to do to round up enough convention delegates to make it official.

WASHINGTON — Republican party leaders are starting to rally around Mitt Romney, but it’s not exactly a stampede of support for the expected GOP presidential nominee. With Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich out of the race, Romney is his party’s pick to take on President Barack Obama this fall, barring a catastrophe. While Romney talks like the nominee, the former Massachusetts governor has work to do to round up enough convention delegates to make it official. Romney has 867 delegates, according to The Associated Press count. That’s 277 short of the 1,144 he needs to win the nomination. Romney could get about 100 delegates from Tuesday’s primaries in North Carolina, Indiana and West Virginia, if he dominates the voting in all three states. But unless he persuades a lot more Santorum and Gingrich delegates to switch allegiances, Romney might not clinch until the Texas primary May 29. “He’s the projected candidate,” said Peggy Lambert, a member of the Republican National Committee from Tennessee who endorsed Romney last week. “Let’s go ahead and get this thing over with. Let’s get as many delegates as

we can.” Santorum and Gingrich have said they will help Romney defeat Obama, but neither has released his delegates to vote for Romney at the national convention in August. Santorum has 257 delegates and Gingrich has 130. In interviews during the past week, many said they were reluctant to back Romney without guidance from their former candidates. The only other Republican still in the race, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, has 83 delegates. Meanwhile on Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden said he’s “absolutely comfortable” with gay couples who marry getting the same civil rights and liberties as heterosexual couples, a stand that gay rights advocates interpreted as an endorsement of same-sex marriage.

DALLAS, Texas — An Army nurse showed no alarm or discomfort before suddenly collapsing during a Skype video chat with his wife, who saw a bullet hole in a closet behind him, his family said Sunday. Capt. Bruce Kevin Clark’s family released a statement describing what his wife saw in the video feed recording her husband’s death. “Clark was suddenly knocked forward,” the statement said. Capt. Clark “The closet behind him had a bullet hole in it. The other individuals, including a member of the military, who rushed to the home of CPT Clark’s wife also saw the hole and agreed it was a bullet hole.” The statement says the Skype link remained open for two hours on April 30 as family and friends in the U.S. and Afghanistan tried to get Clark help. “After two hours and many frantic phone calls by Mrs. Clark, two military personnel arrived in the room and appeared to check his pulse, but provided no details about his condition to his wife,” the statement said. The Pentagon has said the cause of Clark’s death remains under investigation. In the statement, Susan Orellana-Clark said she was providing details of what she saw “to honor my husband and dispel the inaccurate information and supposition promulgated by other parties.” Clark, 43, grew up in Michigan and previously lived in Spencerport, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester, his wife’s hometown. He joined the Army in 2006 and was stationed in Hawaii before he was assigned to the William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso. He deployed to Afghanistan in March. Clark’s body was returned Thursday to Dover Air Force Base. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, aged 3 and 9.

WASHINGTON — The Senate is the newest arena in the election-year face-off over federal student loans, and both sides are starting out by pounding away at each other. With Congress returning from a weeklong spring recess, the Senate plans to vote Tuesday on whether to start debating a Democratic plan to keep college loan interest rates for 7.4 million students from doubling on July 1. The $6 billion measure would be paid for by collecting more Social Security and Medicare payroll taxes from high-earning owners of some privately held corporations. Republicans want a vote on their own bill, which like the Democrats’ would freeze today’s 3.4 percent interest rates on subsidized Stafford loans for one more year. It would be financed by eliminating a preventive health program established by President Barack

Obama’s health care overhaul. Each side scoffs that the other’s proposal is unacceptable, and neither is expected to garner the votes needed to prevail. Even so, everyone expects a bipartisan deal before July 1 because no one wants students’ interest rates to balloon before November’s presidential and congressional elections. “We’re still pushing on that,” said Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed, chief sponsor of the Democratic bill. “But I also think I recognize if there is another proposal outside of going after the health care fund, we’ll certainly listen.” Stafford loans are made to low- and middle-income students. With student loans of all types a growing household burden that now exceeds the nation’s credit-card debt, the fight in Congress has come to symbolize how each party would help families cope with the rugged economy and how to pay for it.

Witnesses give public firsthand look inside al-Qaida The trial of a New York City man in a failed terror plot offers inside revelations. By TOM HAYS and LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press

NEW YORK — By the time a wayward kid from Long Island named Bryant Neal Vinas joined al-Qaida in 2008, the sight of trainees swinging from monkey bars was a thing of the past. The Afghani terror camps had been replaced by safe houses tucked away in the border region of Pakistan — houses made of mud. “There’s no carpet. There’s no wood floors,” Vinas told a Brooklyn jury on April 23. “Just mud.” Vinas’ description of the crude Waziristan hideout came during the trial of Adis Medujanin, a New York City man convicted last week in a foiled plot to attack the subway system in 2009. Pros-

ecutors had accused Medujanin of receiving terror training and instructions from al-Qaida in Pakistan during a trip with two former high school classmates who pleaded guilty. At Medunjanin’s trial, jurors heard Vinas and another high-value government cooperator born in Great Britain, Saajid Badat, testify as expert witnesses. They provided an unprecedented, firsthand look at al-Qaida in the heady days after the Sept. 11 attacks and in more recent years as it struggled to survive. The pair’s insights suggested that the terror group never lost its desire to strike again on U.S. soil but its means and goals became more modest. It also became more reliant on late-bloomer jihadists who sometimes proved half-hearted or inept. The testimony also gave the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn and British authorities a chance to show off two trophies in the civilian prosecution of ter-

rorists — sworn enemies of America who, after their arrests, were persuaded to switch sides and tell everything they know. Badat, 33, described growing disillusioned with al-Qaida. After

hearing that admitted Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed would face American justice, he said he “felt ... almost a moral obligation to give evidence specifically against KSM.”

“So he said the American economy is like a chain,” Badat said. “If you break one link of the chain, the whole economy will be brought down.” Vinas, 29, was the offspring of immigrant parents, both from South America, who divorced when he was young. As time passed, he drifted. He also tried joining the Army in 2002, but dropped out after only three weeks because he found it “mentally overwhelming.” Raised Catholic, Vinas converted to Islam in 2004. He grew more extreme in his views after listening to sermons by radical anti-American cleric Anwar alAwlaki. Vinas left for Pakistan in 2007, telling friends and family he was going to study there. He briefly signed on with a little-know insurgent group, but left after hearing rumors it was controlled by Pakistan’s intelligence agency, known as the ISI.

The once-bearded Badat appeared on a videotape looking like a clean-cut banker. His testimony had been recorded at a secret location outside London after being freed early from a 13year prison term as a reward for his cooperation. Born in Gloucester, England, to immigrants from the tiny African nation of Malawi, Badat was the product of a stable childhood. While in London in 1997, he became convinced he needed to take up arms in the name of Islam. “It was almost the glamour factor of it drawing me in,” he said of heading off to Afghanistan at age 19 for “violent jihad.” By 2001, he was firmly in alQaida’s grasp at the height of its post-Sept. 11 infamy. He recalled Osama bin Laden telling him in a meeting of just the two of them that hiding explosives in shoes in suicide attacks could get huge results.

ened more violence. “Sooner or later I will grab someone, maybe in the woods, on the trail, and beat the life out of them,” the email said. The writer also said Obama “is the one that is destroying patriotism in the U.S.A.” On April 25 a Secret Service agent began exchanging emails with Hecker, who allegedly continued to send out more written threats. After it was determined last week that Hecker had signed on to a computer at the Waynesboro Public Library, Secret Service agents arrested him on the side of a street. Hecker refused to be sworn in during an appearance Friday in federal court in Charlottesville. He told a magistrate judge he didn’t want an attorney, wanted to be sentenced immediately and is seeking the death penalty. Hecker was ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation from the Valley Community Services Board.

HARRISONBURG, Va. — A Virginia man has been charged with threatening to kill President Barack Obama. A criminal complaint filed in federal court in Harrisonburg said Christopher Hecker of Waynesboro made death threats against the president and threatened to bomb the White House, hotels and other places, including Philadelphia City Hall and the site of the former World Trade Center. An affidavit said the threats were emailed to various media outlets. Media outlets report an email sent April 19 to a Roanoke radio station threatened the president’s life. The FBI traced the email to Hecker’s account. The affidavit said four days later, Hecker allegedly sent an email to another media outlet that threat-

By JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden says he’s “absolutely comfortable” with gay couples who marry getting the same civil rights and liberties as heterosexual couples, a stand that gay rights advocates interpreted as an endorsement of same-sex marriage. But the White House and President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign, eager to avoid a debate on a hot-button social issue in an election year, insisted that Biden was not breaking ranks with Obama, who does not publicly support gay marriage. Biden told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that marriage should be about being loyal to someone you love, whether that marriage is between a man and a woman, two men or two women. “I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties,” Biden said in the interview broadcast Sunday. Gay rights advocates said Biden’s comments signaled unmistakable support for gay marriage, which they said made him the

highest-ranking member in the Obama administration to take that position. “I’m grateful that the vice president of the United States is now publicly supporting marriage equality and I hope very soon the president and the rest of our leaders, Republicans and Democrats in Congress, will fall in line with the vice president,” said Chad Griffin, a gay rights supporter and a member of the Obama campaign’s national finance committee. Joe Solmonese, the president of the Human Rights Campaign, said his group was encouraged by Biden’s comments and called on

Takes 2 to 5 Birthstones

Obama to speak out for “full marriage equality” for same-sex couples. While Obama opposes gay marriage, he says his personal views on the matter are “evolving” and has noted that polls show Americans are increasingly supporting same-sex marriage. Biden, a devout Catholic, has said previously that his personal views, as well as the country’s, on gay marriage are evolving. The vice president’s office said Sunday after the interview aired that Biden’s comments were not an endorsement of gay marriage, but simply a reaffirmation of his belief that same-sex couples de-

serve the same rights and protections as all Americans. David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the Obama campaign, chimed in on Twitter, saying Biden and Obama share the view that all married couples should have the same legal rights. For the Obama campaign, gay marriage has become a vexing election-year issue. Each time the campaign promotes the president’s extensive work in advancing gay rights, including ending the military’s ban on openly gay service members, it is reminded of the one area where the president has fallen short in the eyes of gay rights advocates. Several Democrats are pushing for Obama to include support for gay marriage in the party’s platform, which will be finalized at the Democratic convention this summer. Campaign officials have played down the notion that Obama’s position on gay marriage will “evolve” before the November election. They say Obama’s record in supporting other gay rights issues stands in stark contrast to his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, an ardent opponent of gay marriage and other benefits for same-sex couples. One gay rights advocate said that even before the NBC interview, Biden had been hinting that his personal views of gay marriage may have evolved more quickly than the president’s.

WORLD OPINION

Democracy in Mexico depends on police reform

REEDOM OF expression is fundamental to a successful democracy. Writers and journalists who expose corruption and wrongdoing must know that they will not be killed for their efforts. Mexico’s democracy is under assault because of the authorities’ apparent inability to protect the bloggers, writers and broadcasters who cover the drug trade. Eighty journalists have been killed in the last 12 years. The latest victim to be silenced by the drug cartels is Regina Martinez, a writer for Proceso magazine. She was found strangled in her bathroom in Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz state, on April 28. Her recent reports told of the arrests of nine municipal police officers suspected of ties to drug traffickers, and the arrest of a woman suspected of commanding hit

men. For those stories of narcocorruption, she gave her life. Mexico must do more to end this culture of impunity. The Senate’s recent approval of a constitutional amendment to transfer responsibility for prosecuting attacks on the press to federal authorities is an important step forward. Mexico is in the throes of a presidential election campaign, and frontrunner Enrique Pena Nieto has said his party will urge state legislatures to support the amendment. Mexico has made impressive electoral, political and economic reforms. But to safeguard its democracy, the country must turn its attention to judicial and police reforms and show its citizens that those who murder writers will be brought to justice. The country’s progress – and reputation – depend on it. The Globe and Mail, Toronto

QUOTE OF THE DAY “We are allowing our standards to erode.” James Amos The Marine Corps commandant wrote a blunt assessment to his commanders concerning a perceived lack of discipline among troops that has discredited the corps and potentially jeopardized strategy. Other U.S. defense leaders also are speaking out about high-profile incidents of bad behavior in Afghanistan.

Muddled Murdoch report

HE MARKETS HAVE had their say on Rupert Murdoch – and it’s a thumbs-up. The same day that six members of the Commons’ Culture, Media and Sport Committee declared that he was not “a fit person” to run a big international business, shares in News Corporation rose. Moreover, results from BSkyB showed an underlying profit of $1.5 billion in nine months, up a quarter over the same period a year before. This is not in itself proof that BSkyB is a “fit and proper” holder of a broadcasting license – but it is a reminder of Murdoch’s achievement in making the most of the company’s potential. There are still serious ques-

tions about Murdoch’s conduct in respect of phone hacking by the News of the World, and the disgraceful culture that his senior executives at least tolerated. Specifically, we still need to know whether he was culpably ignorant of those activities. But the Commons committee’s Labour and Liberal Democrat members went beyond the issue in suggesting that he was unfit to be proprietor of an international media company. The upshot was that the committee was split on the final report, with members divided on party lines. As a result, the report has looked partisan and its broader conclusions have been lost.

Israel should be proud

S ISRAEL TURNS 64, we have much of which to be proud. But we do not always appreciate our many achievements. We agonize over the Iranian nuclear threat, endlessly debating the pros and cons of a pre-emptive military strike against an Islamic Republic run by apocalyptic mullahs who have expressed their desire to wipe Israel “off the map.” But we, a people who just commemorated the Holocaust – the ultimate price paid for Jewish powerlessness – forget to appreciate having the option of launching such a strike sin-

We take to the streets to protest the high cost of living, skyrocketing housing prices and the general difficulties of making ends meet every month – and the government does its best to listen, a testament to democracy in action. As Israel turns 64 the Jewish people have much of which to be proud. Let’s all learn to appreciate the achievements while recognizing the challenges. The Jerusalem Post

Natural gas drilling could help revive U.S. manufacturing WITH AMERICANS perhaps more divided than ever, imagine a rare source of bipartisan acclaim that would spawn more “Made in the USA” labels and fewer that read “Made in China.” That is precisely what could happen if the shale gas boom continues to thrive and catapult America’s flagging manufacturing sector into a long-overdue renaissance. Domestic manufacturing has taken a nosedive in the past few decades, as a tour of some of the most economically depressed areas in the Rust Belt attests. By most accounts, public opinion on the overall state of U.S. energy is similarly bleak. About 71 percent of those surveyed in a recent CNN/ORC poll say high gasoline prices have caused financial hardship. However, it’s not all bad news on the energy front. Thanks to an innovative drilling technology called hydraulic fracturing, energy producers are able to extract previously inaccessible deposits of shale gas; and domestic manufacturers that purchase this fuel now have a cost advantage with one of shale’s byproducts, polyethylene. The most common form of plastic, polyethylene is used in countless finished goods, primarily in containers and other packaging. Considering that in 2010 the United States imported $264 million worth of plastic goods from China, any cost advantage American manufacturers can gain with plastic is a good one. Shale gas production similarly can spur

MAIL BAG

COMMENTARY MIKE MIKUS construction of plants that buy natural gas for fuel or as raw material to make chemicals, plastics, fertilizer, steel and other products. A report by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC estimated that such investments could create 1 million U.S. manufacturing jobs over the next 15 years. PricewaterhouseCoopers also predicts that shale gas development could add approximately 1 million jobs by 2025, encourage greater investments in U.S. plants and reduce U.S. manufacturers’ natural gas expenses by as much as $11.6 billion annually through 2025. With announcements of new manufacturing plants opening up across Pennsylvania, Shell’s decision to build the first petrochemical plant in the Philadelphia region and a Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker’s construction of a $750 million plant to produce iron from natural gas and iron-ore pellets in Louisiana, it is no wonder that many people see the responsible development of shale gas resources as a “game changer,” boosting economic output and creating high-wage, high-skilled jobs throughout North America. Unfortunately, the energy manufacturing industry is facing a bevy of increased regulations and punitive taxes that could upend this progress. In fact, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry estimates

that 36,618 jobs could be in jeopardy because of looming closures of the ConocoPhillips’s Trainer and Sunoco’s Marcus Hook refineries, plus the region’s largest, soon-to-be-closed Sunoco Philadelphia refinery. Given that these three refineries represent 50 percent of the Northeast’s refining capacity, these closures could bring about even higher prices at the gas pump. One example of ill-devised regulation that is driving gas prices higher and refiners out of business is the Environmental Protection Agency’s fuel blend mandate that charges refiners $6.8 million in penalties for not using enough cellulosic biofuel in gasoline – even though the technology doesn’t exist on the commercial market. A strong record of job growth is a surefire way toward re-election. What some lawmakers fail to understand, however, is that their rush to “respond” to energy crises can erase much of the progress borne from American ingenuity in the private sector. Regulators need to stand clear and let our energy manufacturing sector realize its renaissance. Mike Mikus is director of the Consumer Energy Alliance’s Mid-Atlantic Chapter based in Bridgeville, Pa.

Districts should convert buses to use natural gas

Unfortunately, the energy manufacturing industry is facing a bevy of increased regulations and punitive taxes that could upend this progress.

hen funding cutbacks to school districts were announced, they came at a time when the cost of fuel kept rising. It was reported there are 140,000 stations across the country selling gasoline and diesel made from oil that is more than $100 per barrel. The opposite is true for natural gas that is so plentiful the price of 1,000 cubic feet is at a 10-year low. There is so much of it, gas drillers are considering cutbacks on their production. Oil companies apparently don’t want to cut profits by adding a pump for natural gas. If you do an Internet search using the words “compressed natural gas school bus,” it turns out there are school districts across the country converting their fleets to natural gas. Every school district that sits on Marcellus Shale territory should be taking advantage of it. Instead of giving loans to solar panel

By RICHARD A. SERRANO Tribune Washington Bureau

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba — The defense team for Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, charged with capital murder in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, on Sunday angrily called the military commission legal process a political "regime" set up to put him and the four other defendants to death. David Nevin, Mohammed’s civilian attorney, said new rules imposed under the Obama administration bar them from discussing with their clients whether they were mistreated by U.S. authorities — in the case of Mohammed, "tortured" — after their arrests eight years ago. "We are operating under a regime here," Nevin said. "We are forbidden from talking to our clients about very important matters. "And now the government wants to kill Mr. Mohammed. They want to extinguish the last eyewitness so he can never talk about his torture. They want the political cover so he’ll be convicted and executed." According to CIA accounts and other documents, Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept.11, 2001, attacks, was subjected 183 times to waterboarding at a classified CIA site before he was moved to the prison at Guantanamo Bay. On Saturday he and four alleged Sept. 11 comrades were arraigned on conspiracy, terrorism and murder charges. They deferred entering pleas of guilt or innocence in the case, with the government planning to seek five death sentences. Army Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor, said Sunday that the public should remember Sept. 11 and what happened that morning when nearly 3,000 people died at New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon outside Washington and a field in

western Pennsylvania. "The enemy force," he said, "was sophisticated, patient, disciplined and lethal." Martins vigorously defended the military tribunal process, and said it was fair to both sides. "However long the journey, and the arraignment was only the start of a legal process that could take many months," he said, "the United States is committed to gaining accountability for those who attacked and killed innocent people." He said defense lawyers can talk to their clients, but cannot show them classified documents that disclose harsh treatment. Otherwise, he said, "they can talk to their clients about anything." He added that even if there was some form of torture, it should not "pollute" the entire case. "The remedy is not to just dismiss all the charges," he said. "It does not mean that everybody goes free, that everybody is free of accountability just because somebody else did something wrong. That’s not good." Rather, he said, it is important for the case to proceed and the

public to decide its fairness. "This will be in the highest traditions of our country," Martins said. "It’s important that people realize that this will be done methodically and patiently. Justice in every society is methodical, determined and patient." On the accusation that prosecutors are purposely seeking the death penalty, the brigadier general said their goal is simply to submit the case to a jury of 12 U.S. military service members. "That’s what we want," he said. "That’s justice, I believe. It will be a real jury, and we will trust this thing with them. These people will be impartial, and that’s what’s going to happen. "This death penalty stuff is premature. We are trying to put this through the process." Martins also defended women on his prosecution team who he said were dressed "appropriately" at the arraignment Saturday. He was responding to complaints from Cheryl Bormann, a Chicago defense attorney for Walid bin Attash who wore a long black abaya to court. On Sunday, Bormann said her client is offended by women who

do not dress in conservative Islamic attire, feeling that it causes him to sin. "It is distracting to him to see a woman who has anything bare other than her face," she said. She added that she has met with her client a dozen times, and always dresses respectfully. "He is that conservative," she said. James Connell, civilian attorney for Ammar al Baluchi, aka Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, noted that the five defendants coordinated a silent protest at the arraignment, refusing to answer the judge’s questions. Except for one very short outburst, their behavior was sharply different from their last public hearing four years ago when they shouted that they hoped their executions would win them martyrdom. "The accused participated in peaceful resistance to an unjust system," Connell said of their silent, defiant behavior Saturday. "These men have endured years of inhumane treatment and torture. This treatment has had serious long-term effects and will ultimately infect every aspect of this military commission tribunal."

the Susquehanna’s watershed, began encouraging drillers to use acid mine drainage when fracturing by reducing or eliminating permit fees for “lesser-quality waters,” including water contaminated by mining and public wastewater. It has since gone a step further in requiring companies that apply to withdraw fresh water from sources close to mine water to explain as part of their applications why they are unwilling to use the mine water instead. “They’re going to have to justify to us why they’re not using that impaired water,” commission spokeswoman Susan Obleski said. Acid mine drainage refers to the outpouring of water that has run its course through mine workings, where it has picked up minerals – often sulfides – and has often acquired an acidic pH. Its use in hydraulic fracturing could have two environmental advantages: It could reduce the amount of higher-quality water withdrawn from rivers and streams for use in drilling and the treating the water for use in drilling could reduce the amount of mine water flowing elsewhere. For those reasons the idea has captured the interest if not the outright support of environmental groups. “Many of these abandoned mine sites have the potential to become coldwater streams and

high-quality trout fisheries,” said Amy G. Wolfe, director of the Eastern Abandoned Mine Program for national environmental group Trout Unlimited. “This is a phenomenal good-citizen opportunity here for the natural gas industry to work with their local communities and watershed groups in utilizing this source of water and cleaning it up.” Fresh water withdrawals aren’t harmful in and of themselves, Wolfe said, but truck traffic to and from withdrawal sites and the construction of roads leading to them contribute to erosion and sedimentation, which can impair water quality.

“It impacts trout spawning habitats (and) trout habitats in general,” she said. “I think the good thing about the use of mine drainage water is that… in abandoned mine work environments in many areas you already have existing road infrastructure.” The Eastern Pennsylvania Coalition for Abandoned Mine Reclamation remediates acid mine drainage in the eastern portion of the state. Executive Director Robert Hughes said his group is also interested in the idea, and any opportunity to partner with privatesector interests to remediate the problem, including power plants

that use large volumes of water. The natural gas industry is also interested, and late last year the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group representing most of the companies drilling for gas in Pennsylvania, hosted a conference on the feasibility of using mine water in fracturing. A key finding of that conference was that while mine water’s abundance makes it attractive, it is so plentiful the gas industry’s thirst would never be enough to solve the mine water problem alone. Coal water in and around Pittsburgh alone could provide two to seven times the water needed by

the industry annually, Paul Ziemkiewicz of the West Virginia Water Research Institute reported at the conference. But Hughes said the industry’s involvement could still help. “What we see is, there’s so many discharges out there in the region that don’t have treatment systems on them to where we might be able to support aquatic life downstream,” Hughes said. “Some of the discharges we feel can probably be cleaned up quite easily if other private industries come into play, because the state doesn’t have enough money to do it all.” Old Forge borehole For example, Hughes said that about 100 million gallons of water passes daily through the Old Forge borehole, Luzerne County’s largest producer of mine drainage, depositing more than 5,000 tons of iron into the Susquehanna River.

If more partners were available to help remediate problems like the borehole, state environmental workers and nonprofits could devote more resources to closing points of ingress into the mines, which could in turn greatly reduce the volume of water flowing through the mines, Hughes said. Participants at the Marcellus Shale Coalition-sponsored conference showed consensus that gas drillers would probably not encounter economically significant problems in hydraulic fracturing with much of the mine water available, though the pH and mineral content of mine drainage varies widely and can affect its suitability for use in drilling. A cost analysis by Penn State professor David Yoxtheimer found that using mine drainage is more expensive than other sources of water for fracturing, but the cost could be reduced where the water source and well are located in close proximity.

OT loss has WBS on verge of elimination By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – In the second period of Sunday’s Game 4 matchup against the St. John’s IceCaps, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins saw their two-goal lead erased. Twenty seven seconds into overtime, they saw their hopes for a win fade away as well. The Penguins gave up a 2-0 first period lead, allowing St. John’s to tie it in the second period and eventually force overtime. And it didn’t take long for the Penguins to suffer a 3-2 loss to fall “There’s behind in the Eastnot a lot of ern Conference semispace out final series 3-1.

Colin McDonald struck first when he stickhandled around two IceCaps defenders and placed a shot into the wide side of the net for his 5th playoff goal. Two minutes later, Eric Tangradi put home a Geoff Walker pass to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead in the first period. Both goals came on the Penguins’ first two shots of the game. “With all the shots we got (on Saturday) we knew we needed to continue doing that and it would pay off,” McDonald said. “The guys were ready to play tonight.

Devils put Flyers in a hot spot

Zubrus scores twice as New Jersey takes a 3-1 series lead over Philadelphia. By TOM CANAVAN AP Sports Writer

NEWARK, N.J. — Dainius Zubrus scored two goals and the New Jersey Devils rallied from an early two-goal deficit and pushed the Philadelphia Flyers to the brink of elimination with a 4-2 victory Sunday night in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal. Zubrus put New Jersey ahead 3-2 late in the second period and iced it with an empty-net goal in the final DEVILS minute. Petr Sykora and Marek Zidlicky also scored for the Devils, who can advance to their FLYERS first conference final since 2003 with a win in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. New Jersey has never lost a playoff series after taking a 3-1 lead. In winning their third straight, the Devils let goalie Martin Brodeur have an easy night on his 40th birthday, outshooting Philadelphia 43-22. He even picked up an assist on Zubrus’ final goal.

Wadas, Porfirio post victories in Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot Race By By ROBERT MINER For The Times Leader

Deedra Porfirio, 35, West Pittston was the female winner of Sunday’s Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot Race in Kirby Park.

WILKES-BARRE – Chris Wadas led a field of 124 runners and won the Wyoming Valley Striders 38th annual Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot Race in Kirby Park on Sunday. The race is the second leg of the Striders Triple Crown. Wadas, 30, of Courtdale, blitzed the course – which was probably closer to 5.1 miles in length – breaking the tape in 27 minutes, 15 seconds. Jeff Skwierz, 29, of Forty Fort, who was the only runner who could stay anywhere near Wadas throughout the race, finished second, 32 seconds behind the win-

ner. Sean Robbins, 42, of Shavertown, the area’s top male triathlete, finished a distant third, 1:12 behind Skwierz. “It was just me and Chris out there,” said Skwierz, who ran for Lock Haven University, “Chris took it out fast. So I just tried to stay with him and get a good time.” But there was no catching Wadas. “I went out a little hard at the start,” said Wadas, who is the head track and cross country coach at Misericordia University and runs for the Keystone Track Club of Harrisburg. “It got a little hot once the sun came out. But I was able to hold it together.”

Deedra Porfirio, 35, of West Pittston, won the female division easily, finishing 11th overall in 33:21. Porfirio’s closest female competitor, Ann Zoranski, 41, of Swoyersville, finished second in 35:05. Whitney Lukas, 19, of Courtdale, finished third, 10 seconds behind Zoranski. Porfirio, who is normally a fast starter, got stuck behind some runners at the start and had to jockey her way around some people before she could really get going. But once she did that, she passed a few females and moved into the lead quite quickly. Chris Wadas, 30, of Courtdale, “After moving into the lead, I first in Sunday’s Cherry BlosSee RUN, Page 5B

The Nationals’ Bryce Harper steals home as Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz applies a late tag during first inning of their game at Nationals Park on Sunday in Washington.

Pence hits two HRs; Hamels strong in win Astros 8, Cardinals 1

WASHINGTON — Cole Hamels gave up five hits over eight innings and Hunter Pence hit a pair of two-run home runs to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-3 win against the Washington Nationals on Sunday night. Hamels was in line for his 11th career complete game as he batted to lead off the ninth. The Phillies’ offense then batted around, scoring six runs, and Hamels was lifted for pinch-hitter John Mayberry when his spot came up the second time in the inning. The Phillies snapped a seven-game losing streak against Washington dating back to last year and avoided the sweep in the three-game series. Washington rookie Bryce Harper stole home in the first inning.

HOUSTON — Tyler Greene hit a career-high two homers and drove in four runs, Adam Wainwright continued his dominance of the Astros and the St. Louis Cardinals got a win over Houston.

Mets 3, Diamondbacks 1

Giants 4, Brewers 3

Reds 5, Pirates 0

PITTSBURGH — Mat Latos struck out a career-high 11 over six sharp innings to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cubs 4, Dodgers 3

CHICAGO — David DeJesus drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the Chicago Cubs to a victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. DENVER — Brandon Beachy pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Freddie Freeman hit a three-run homer and the Atlanta Braves beat the Colorado Rockies for a threegame sweep. SAN FRANCISCO — Pinchhitter Hector Sanchez singled over a five-man infield with the bases loaded in the 11th inning, lifting the San Francisco Giants to a victory over the Milwaukee Brewers to take the threegame series. Marlins 6, Padres 3

SAN DIEGO — Ricky Nolasco remained unbeaten, Giancarlo Stanton drew a basesloaded walk to force in the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and the Miami Marlins beat the San Diego Padres for their season-best sixth straight victory.

Pujols finally homers as Angels top Jays ANAHEIM, Calif. — Albert Pujols finally hit a home run for the Los Angeles Angels, ending the longest power drought of his career Sunday in a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Pujols connected in the fifth inning for his first AL homer and the 446th overall. When he returned to the dugout, he had it all to himself. No players, no coaches, no batboys. Orioles 9, Red Sox 6

BOSTON — In the first major league game since 1925 in which both teams put a position player on the mound, Baltimore designated hitter Chris Davis overcame an awful day at the plate by pitching two scoreless innings and getting the win as the Orioles outlasted Boston. Davis went 0 for 8, striking out five times and grounding into a double play. But in a season full of surprises for the Orioles, a first baseman by trade delivered the biggest one yet in a crazy game at Fenway Park. Indians 4, Rangers 2

T H I S D A T E I N B A S E B A L L 1922 — Jesse Barnes of the New York Giants pitched the only no-hitter of the year, beating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0. 1925 — Pittsburgh shortstop Glenn Wright made an unassisted triple play in the ninth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals when he caught Jim Bottomley’s line drive, stepped on second to double Jimmy Cooney, and tagged Rogers Hornsby coming from first. 1957 — Cleveland pitcher Herb Score was hit on the right eye by a line drive off the bat of Gil McDougald in the first inning. The ball broke Score’s nose and damaged his eye; he missed the rest of the season. 1959 — A crowd of 93,103 came to the Los Angeles Coliseum on “Roy Campanella Night” to show its affection for the paralyzed Dodger catcher. The Dodgers were beaten by the New York Yankees 6-2 in an exhibition game that followed the ceremonies. 1960 — Norm Sherry, a replacement catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, hit a home run in the 11th inning to give his brother, relief pitcher Larry Sherry, a 3-2 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies in Los Angeles.

1997 — The Montreal Expos scored 13 runs to set an NL record for runs in a sixth inning during their 19-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. Montreal added five runs in the fifth to set a National League record for runs in consecutive innings with 18. 2007 — San Francisco’s Bengie Molina hit a tworun homer in the fifth, then added a three-run drive later in the same inning to lead the Giants to a 9-4 win over New York. 2008 — Carlos Gomez became the first Minnesota player to hit for the cycle in 22 years in a 13-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Gomez homered off Mark Buehrle on the game’s third pitch. He added an RBI triple in the fifth, doubled in a run in the sixth and completed the cycle with an infield single to lead off a six-run ninth. 2008 — Joey Votto hit three homers as Cincinnati beat Chicago 9-0. Jon Lieber became only the second pitcher in Cubs history to give up four homers in an inning. Votto started a four-homer second inning off Lieber, who was making his first start of the season. Adam Dunn and Paul Bako also had solo shots, and Jerry Hairston Jr.’s two-run homer completed

the history-matching rally. 2009 — Los Angeles Dodgers star Manny Ramirez was suspended for 50 games by Major League Baseball. Ramirez tested positive for HCG, human chorionic gonadotropin, which is popular among steroid users because it can mitigate the side effects of ending a cycle of the drugs. 2009 — New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera gave up home runs to consecutive batters for the first time in his major league career, with Carl Crawford and Evan Longoria connecting in the ninth inning of Tampa Bay’s 8-6 victory. Rivera had not given up back-to-back homers in 862 games coming in. 2009 — The Boston Red Sox tied a modern major league record with 12 runs in an inning before making an out in a 13-3 win over Cleveland. Jason Bay hit a three-run homer and an RBI double and four other batters had two-run hits in the sixth. The Red Sox tied the mark set by the Brooklyn Dodgers on May 24, 1953. The previous AL record was set by the Tigers, who scored 11 runs in the sixth inning in a 19-1 win at the Yankees on June 17, 1925.

THE TIMES LEADER

www.timesleader.com

Turning to the trusted Magic 8 Ball for answers Fantasy baseball, at times, can be an exercise in frustration. After all, you are dealing with a sport where the game’s all-time batting average leader “failed” 7,245 times. Tyrus Raymond Cobb had over 11,434 at bats in his career and 4,189 hits. That may be a .366 batting average, but it’s also a .634 “take a seat” average. (Granted that’s not counting his 1,249 walks, but that’s too much math to figure out on a weekend anyway. And you get the point. Hopefully.) The fickle nature of the game is why you don’t judge success or failure based on a small sample size – like the first month. Trends are starting to appear,

There was a time when Davis was an up-and-comer with the Texas Rangers. He hit 17 HRs in 2008 in just 80 games, and hit 21 FANTASY in ’09 in 113 games. That’s 30plus potential over a whole but they need to survive May season. Problem is, he struck before you can buy into them. out a TON and his average did a With that in mind, here are Triple Lindy into the .230s, so five players who have shown Texas lost faith in him. Now, he early-season promise, and may … that’s MAY … be some fantasy finds himself batting sixth in a pretty potent Baltimore lineup – coal ready to be shaped into a diamond. There’s no guarantees hitting .326 with 5 HRs and 14 RBIs. That works out to a full they’ll be fantasy stars, mind season of 28 HRs and 80 RBIs. you, but they’ve got time to Not too shabby. But can he keep prove it. that pace up? The answer is … And since these guys are the Reply hazy, try again. ultimate risk/reward players, PEDRO ALVAREZ, 3B, PIthen what better method to help analyze their potential, than the RATES: When Pittsburgh took him with the second overall pick completely scientific and Dein the 2008 draft, they figured partment of Weights and Meathey were getting a star third sures-approved “Magic 8 Ball.” baseman.

up in 2010, smacking 16 HRs in 95 games. Problem is, he hasn’t flashed much since. Four home runs in 2011 didn’t help the Pirates or fantasy owners who targeted him as a sleeper pick. Expectations were tempered for 2012, but there are signs he may be figuring this baseball thing out. A recent hot streak has raised his numbers to .253 with 7 HRs and 15 RBIs. So, has a star been born in the Steel City? …. Signs point to yes. DAVID ROBERTSON, RP, YANKEES: Robertson’s not on this list for any unrealized talent questions. Since the start of 2011, he’s been one of the AL’s best relievers. He’s here because he may inherit closer duties from Mariano Rivera and his busted knee. Then again, Rafael Soriano is also in the running for that spot. Manager Joe Gi-

rardi has been non-committal, saying that both pitchers will share the load. Soriano has had success closing in the past. But Robertson has been nearly unhittable this year. Someone’s going to emerge as the primary guy and rack up a ton of saves. Here’s putting money on Robertson. The 8-Ball agrees. … You may rely on it. JOSE ALTUVE, 2B, ASTROS: Batting average, runs and stolen bases are as valuable in fantasy as HRs and RBIs. And Altuve has been providing them in bunches for Houston. It really should not come as much of a surprise. He made Baseball America’s Minor League All-Star team and played in the MLB All-Stars Futures Game in 2011. Now he’s batting .346 as leadoff hitter for a not-quite-so-terrible Astros offense, and seems likely

to continue putting up good numbers. Altuve? Yes way! …. Outlook good. CODY RANSOM, 3B-SS, DIAMONDBACKS: Up until now, the journeyman utility infielder has been most famous for … for … ummmm. Let me get back to you on that. In a career spent bouncing from San Francisco, Houston, New York, Philly and Arizona, he’s never hit more than four HRs in a season or driven in more than 11. Yet, somehow in 2012, he’s sporting a .345 average with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs. Full season translation: 18 homers and 60 RBIs. But, will he produce at that level? Sorry Cody. … My sources say no.

the second period, however, as St. John’s scored on the power play at 4:24 and again at 16:35 after keeping the puck in the Penguins end for an eternity. Maxime Macenauer finished things off with a wrister from the slot to even things up, 2-2. “We didn’t take away time and space as much as we had been in our D zone. There was a lt of cycle time and it was a long shift in our D zone,” Hynes said. After the first two periods, St. John’s outshot the Penguins 20-

12 and Brad Thiessen was forced to come up with several big saves. The two goals by the IceCaps marked the third time in the series that the Penguins have given up a lead. “It’s something we have to talk about,” Hynes said. In overtime, the Penguins lost a faceoff in their end and the puck wound up around the crease. With a jam-up in front, St. John’s Ben Maxwell was able to poke a loose puck past Brad Thiessen for the game-winner just 27 seconds into overtime. Despite suffering back-to-back overtime losses, the Penguins aren’t dwelling on the fact that they came so close yet now find themselves one loss away from

Cavendish captures stage of Giro d’Italia

HERNING, Denmark (AP) — World champion Mark Cavendish of Britain won the second stage of the Giro d’Italia in a sprint finish Sunday. Taylor Phinney of the U.S. finished fourth but kept the overall lead despite a broken bike chain. Cavendish was led out by Welsh teammate Geraint Thomas in the 128-mile loop starting and ending in Herning. It was his eighth stage victory in the Giro. The Team Sky cyclist edged Matt Goss of Australia and finished in 4 hours, 53 minutes, 12 seconds. Geoffrey Soupe of France was third.

NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony scored 41 points, Amare Stoudemire had 20 points and 10 rebounds in his return from a cut hand, and the New York Knicks snapped an NBA-record, 13-game playoff losing streak, beating the Miami Heat 89-87 Sunday in Game 4 of their first-round series. Anthony made a tiebreaking 3-pointer with 54.5 seconds left as the Knicks overcame another serious injury to win a playoff game for the first time since April 29, 2001. Baron Davis dislocated his right kneecap in the third quarter, just as the Knicks were making the run that got them back into the game after a dismal first half. LeBron James scored 27 for the Heat, who will try to close it out in Game 5 at home on Wednesday. Dwyane Wade had 22 points but missed a 3-point attempt with 1.6 seconds left that would have given Miami a lengthy rest before starting the second round. Wade’s errant shot set off a loud celebration from Knicks fans who hadn’t seen their team

win in the postseason since beating the Toronto Raptors in Game 3 of a best-of-five series. It didn’t look as if the victory would come in this series, after the Knicks had been blown out by 20 points per game in the first three games. But they got a huge spark from Stoudemire, playing with padding over his hand just six days after badly cutting it when he punched a fire extinguisher case after a Game 2 loss in Miami. 76ers 89, Bulls 82 PHILADELPHIA — Spencer Hawes scored 22 points and Jrue Holiday had 20 to help Philadelphia beat top-seeded Chicago for a 3-1 lead in the first-round series. Andre Iguodala had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Sixers, who have won the last three games after dropping Game 1 in Chicago. Holiday stretched the lead with consecutive 3-pointers late in the game to put the Sixers one win away from becoming only the fifth No. 8 seed to win an opening round series. Mem-

phis pulled it off last season against San Antonio, and Golden State (2007), New York (1999) and Denver (1994) also accomplished the rare feat Game 5 is Tuesday in Chicago. Celtics 101, Hawks 79 BOSTON — Paul Pierce scored 24 points in 18 minutes and the Boston Celtics opened a 37-point third-quarter lead before coasting to a 101-79 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night to take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Celtics can finish off the Hawks in Atlanta on Tuesday. Game 6 would be in Boston on Thursday, if necessary. Two nights after his tripledouble helped turn back the Hawks in overtime in Game 3, Rajon Rondo had 20 points and 16 assists as the Celtics got some much-needed rest for their aging and injured roster. Josh Smith returned after missing Friday’s game and had 15 points and 13 rebounds for Atlanta. Al Horford, who played for the first time in almost four months, scored 12 points.

Miseri goes for title tonight The Times Leader staff

QUAKERTOWN – The Misericordia baseball team used a dominant pitching performance from Pete Doggett to beat DeSales, 8-2, Sunday in Quakertown, forcing a decisive game for the Freedom Conference title, set for 7:30 p.m. tonight. Doggett went 7 2/3 innings allowing just three hits and two earned runs while striking out three. Kenny Durling led the Cougars with three hits. Jeff Slanovec and Nate Hamlin both had two hits. Earlier in the day, Slanovec’s long fly ball single completed a three-run ninth inning rally to lift the Misericordia to a 5-4 win over Manhattanville to advance to the Freedom Conference championship game. Slanovec led Misericordia with three hits. Bubba Jasinksi, Ryan Cacchioli and Nate Ham-

lin all added two hits. Corey Lee pitched a perfect ninth inning to pick up the win in relief of Gabe Noyalis who allowed seven hits over eight innings.

PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

St. John’s IceCaps goalie Eddie Pasquale can’t stop the shot by the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins’ Colin McDonald for a first period goal in Sunday’s Calder Cup playoff game at Mohegan Sun Arena in Wilkes-Barre Township.

TALLADEGA, Ala. — The leader on the last lap isn’t supposed to win at Talladega Superspeedway. Everybody knows that. Brad Keselowski disagrees, and he showed how to do it Sunday with a calculated plan that sent him to Victory Lane. Keselowski used a big push from Kyle Busch to pass leader Matt Kenseth, and after leaving the Daytona 500 winner in their wake, Keselowski staved off Busch’s attempt to snatch the win. Using a move Keselowski said he had dreamed about, he held on for his second win of the season and second at Talladega. “I had this whole plan if I ever got in that situation where I was leading; I thought about it and thought about it, dreamed about what to do, and sure enough, going into (turn) three, it was just me and Kyle,” Keselowski said. “I knew the move I wanted to pull. It worked because the guy running second should have the advantage, but I had this move all worked up in my mind.” Keselowski was the first driver in the last five races at Talladega to take the white flag and hold on for the win. He did it with a plan that left both Busch and Kenseth flat-footed, and both praised Keselowski after the race. “He’s no dummy, that’s for sure,” said Busch, who wound up

second for the second consecutive day. Busch was the leader on the last lap of Saturday’s Nationwide SeKeselowski ries race, and was passed by Joey Logano right at the finish line. He conceded there’s little the leader can do to preserve the victory on the last lap of a restrictorplate race, and predicted how Sunday would unfold. “If you’re leading, being pushed, plan on finishing second. That’s all there is to it,” Busch said after Saturday’s defeat. So he should have been sitting pretty after pushing Keselowski to the front. Instead, Keselowski went high into the third turn, then pulled off of Busch’s bumper to create some separation. “That allowed me to drive untouched to the checkered flag,” Keselowski said. “It wasn’t easy to convince myself to do that, but it was the right move.” Busch initially seemed dumbfounded. “I must have screwed something up, because we got to turn three and came unhooked,” Busch said. “Just gave the win away over there. Not sure exactly what happened. We definitely need to go back and figure out what it was.”

DEVILS Continued from Page 1B

Scott Hartnell and Claude Giroux scored first-period goals for the Flyers, who once again were a step slow. The Flyers seemed to come apart at the end of the game. Defenseman Kimmo Tomonen took a foolish penalty in the closing minutes and Philadelphia never got off a good shot after pulling goalie Ilya Bryzgalov in the final minute. In fact, Zubrus was about to score into an empty net when he was hooked. Still, the puck went off his stick and into the net. That’s how dominant the Devils were against a Flyers group that has fallen apart after knocking off the Pittsburgh Penguins. New Jersey outshot Philadelphia 32-12 in the first two periods, but the shots advantage only translated into a 3-2 lead, with the Devils scoring three in a row to wipe out a 2-0 deficit. Zubrus gave New Jersey its first lead with 2:13 left in the second period. The Flyers actually broke up a 3-on-1break into their zone, but they lost sight of Zubrus, and Adam Henrique found him all alone in front for a shot that went in off Bryzgalov. Moments before the goal, Brodeur stopped a shot from the point by Timonen, and Hartnell couldn’t get off a good shot on the rebound with Brodeur down and the net open. Sykora, who might have gotten a piece of Hartnell’s rebound attempt, quickly led the 3-on-1 counterattack and the Devils pulled ahead. The Devils forced Flyers coach Peter Laviolette to use his timeout less than 5 minutes after the opening faceoff, and for a couple of minutes it appeared to be a magical move. Getting a lift from its special teams, Philadelphia jumped to a 2-0 lead.

So I settled into a good, steady pace the rest of the way.” Bornfase Nyandusi Omurwa and Kelly Ciravolo, the male and female winners of the Winter’s End (4.5-mile) Run (the first leg of the Triple Crown) didn’t compete in the Cherry Blossom 5 miler, so they won’t be eligible for Triple Crown honors. And Wadas didn’t run in the Winter’s End race. So Skwierz, who finished second in both races, now leads in the Triple Crown competition. Porfirio finished second, among the females, in the Winter’s End race. So she now leads the female division of the Triple Crown. The final leg of the Triple Crown will be the Summer’s End 10Km Run, set for Sept. 22 at Kirby Park at 9 a.m. SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS ANNOUNCED In 2004, race officials from the Striders running club added “Tim Thomas Memorial” to the Cherry Blossom 5 Mile Foot Race name in memory of Thomas, who was a standout runner from Plains Township and ran for Bloomsburg University. He died at age 31. Each year Thomas’ widow, Kim, contacts all of the Wyoming Valley Conference guidance counselors with the criteria for entering a scholarship contest in Tim Thomas’ name. The contest is for high school seniors who plan to run at the college level. Each contestant is asked to write Kim a letter explaining what running means to them. Kim then picks two winners (one boy and one girl) from the letters that impress her the most. Both winners then receive a $500 scholarship. This year’s winners are: Jeff Capaci of Holy Redeemer who will attend Arizona State University and Angela Coco of Wyoming Area who will attend King’s College. Capaci wrote about the three things that running has done for him: taught him to work hard,

Kings sweep Blues LOS ANGELES — Dustin Brown scored two goals, Jonathan Quick made 23 saves, and the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings finished an improbable four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 3-1 victory Sunday, advancing to the conference finals for just the second time in club history. Rookie Jordan Nolan scored an early goal for the Kings, the first team in recent NHL history to eliminate their conference’s top two seeds in the same postseason. After steamrolling top-seeded Vancouver and second-seeded St. Louis with eight wins in nine games, the Kings will face the winner of Phoenix’s series with Nashville in the Western Conference finals.

Hartnell gave the Flyers the lead, deflecting Giroux’s shot past Brodeur seconds after Travis Zajac was tripped and took a retaliatory interference penalty. Giroux, who had been invisible in the Devils’ wins in Games 2 and 3, doubled the margin at 13:40 by beating the birthday boy on a 2-on-1 short-handed tally after taking a great break-inpass from Maxime Talbot. The goal came 13 seconds after Philadelphia defenseman Andreas Lilja was called for tripping, but the Devils didn’t let the man advantage go to waste. Sykora cut the Devils’ deficit in half late in the power play, redirecting a nice cross-ice pass by Zidlicky past Bryzgalov, who was a little slow covering the corner of the net after the defenseman made the pass from the right point to the left edge of the crease. Zidlicky tied it with 1:51 left in the period after the Flyers’ seemed to lose sight of the defenseman after he pinched down from the right point. The puck ended up on the left point and fellow defenseman Bryce Salvador found Zidlicky between the circles for a redirection. to have a positive attitude and making so many friends that have become his running family. Coco wrote that she started running at a young age when her father influenced her to run in the Jingle Bell Run at the Dunmore YMCA, a race that raises funds to fight arthritis. She also wrote about how her running friends share life’s joys and problems with each other. Kim said she read 35 letters this year (the most in the nine years since the contest started). “The contest has gotten bigger every year,” Kim said.

H.S. GIRLS SOCCER

MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Looking back at some WVC firsts AP PHOTO

Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte throws the last pitch of his five innings of work for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in a game against the Pawtucket Red Sox at Frontier Field in Rochester, N.Y., on Sunday.

Pettitte is roughed up in start for SWB Yanks The Associated Press

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Andy Pettitte hardly looked ready for the majors in the first Triple-A start of his comeback. Pettitte pitched five shaky innings Sunday and took the loss as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees lost to Pawtucket 7-5. The 39-year-old lefty allowed five runs, three of them earned, and eight hits in his latest minor league outing. He walked two, including one batter with the bases loaded, and struck out five. “The feel for my offspeed stuff just wasn’t there. I’m disappointed I’m not as sharp as I wanted to be,” Pettitte said. Pettitte retired after the 2010 season and sat out last year. He’s hoping to soon rejoin the Yankees’ rotation. “It’s inevitable for me to get up there and get in the mix,” Pettitte said. “I’m trying to get locked in and go as far as I can to get focused.” Nardi Contreras, the Yankees’ pitching coordinator, wouldn’t say what his recommendation will be for Pettitte. “I’ll let (Yankees general manager) Mr. (Brian) Cashman know what I saw. It’ll be up to (him),” Contreras said. Asked when he thinks Pettitte will be promoted, Contreras smiled and said, “I’m sure sooner rather than later.” Pettitte threw 59 of 92 pitches for strikes. “My bullpen work has been almost perfect. Every outing, every side (session), I’ve felt really

good. I’m hoping when I do get an opportunity that I can get everything going the way I hope to,” he said. Pettitte has pitched four times in the minors this year. He has a 3.71 ERA in 17 innings and is expected to improve a struggling Yankees rotation. Overall, New York starters had a 5.55 ERA and an 11-12 record; those figures deteriorate to an 6.07 ERA and a 7-12 record when excluding staff ace CC Sabathia. Playing a game, regardless of the location, was likely a welcomed occurrence for Pettitte, who testified at the perjury trial of former Yankee teammate Roger Clemens on Wednesday. Pettitte would not discuss details on that testimony, but said he was glad it was over. With the Scranton/WilkesBarre stadium undergoing a total reconstruction, the minor league Yankees are playing their entire home schedule in various ballparks, with a majority of the games being held in Rochester, the home of Minnesota’s Triple-A affiliate. Pettitte’s start was originally scheduled to be played in nearby Batavia, but was moved on three days’ notice due to the parent Yankees’ concerns about the lower standards of the Single-A facility and the ability to attract a large number of fans. The Rochester organization announced the attendance of 13,584 was the largest ever in their ballpark for a regular-season baseball game.

PRO GOLF

Fowler picks up first win in playoff at Quail Hollow The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rickie Fowler finally picked up his first PGA Tour win Sunday in what might be the start of a rivalry for years to come. Fowler brought style and substance to a sudden-death playoff at Quail Hollow and delivered a clutch shot — a wedge into 4 feet to birdie the 18th hole and win the Wells Fargo Championship over U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy and D.A. Points. The 23-year-old Fowler has been talked about as the next American star since he turned pro with his flashy colors and all-orange outfit on Sunday, his trademark. Now he has a trophy to back up the hype, coming in his 67th start as a pro on the PGA Tour. And he beat the 23-year-old McIlroy to do it. “I’m looking forward to playing with Rory for a long time,” said Fowler, who closed with a 3-under 69. “It’s awesome. It’s a long wait, but well worth it.” McIlroy established himself on the same green two years ago, a 20-year-old who closed out a record 62 by making a 40-foot putt. This time, it was Fowler’s turn. Along for the ride was Points, a 35-year-old who had the tournament in his grasp until ending 40 straight holes without a bogey by making one at the worst time. He

had a one-shot lead going to the 18th in regulation, hit his approach in a bunker and never came close to a par. Fowler McIlroy had a shot at winning in regulation and missed a 15-foot birdie putt. Insperity Championship

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — Fred Funk birdied the final hole for a 5-under 67 and a one-stroke victory over Tom Lehman in the Champions Tour’s Insperity Championship. Tied with one hole left, Funk hit his approach on No. 18 to 2 feet. Lehman missed his birdie putt, and Funk tapped in for his seventh victory on the 50-andover tour first since 2010. He finished at 14-under 202 total. Lpga Brazil Cup

RIO DE JANEIRO — Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum won the LPGA Tour’s Brazil Cup exhibition event, shooting a bogey-free 6-under 67 for a fourstroke victory over Taiwan’s Amy Hung. Phatlum finished at 13-under 133 in the two-day, 30-player tournament at Itanhanga Golf Club. She had five birdies on the front nine to pull away. Her brother, Pornpong, caddied for her.

Rainouts a few Mondays back allow some time with one of The Times Leader’s most unpredictable apparatuses – the microfilm machine. Sometimes it sits there lifeless, refusing to obey any command. Then inexplicitly it begins to run like a Ferrari. Well, it wasn’t up to top speed that day, but performed well enough to go back to the first day of Wyoming Valley Conference girls soccer on April 4, 1990. That day featured the WVC’s first shutout – Bishop Hoban blanking Bishop O’Reilly 2-0. There was also the first tie, a 2-2 game between Lake-Lehman and Tunkhannock. But the real reason was to honor the girls who scored the first goal in their schools’ programs when the league started with seven teams. The first goal in WVC girls soccer history was scored by Dallas’ Sue Richardson at 7:54 of the first quarter. (Four 20-minute quarters were played back then). And the WVC’s first assist went to her teammate, Wendy Hozempa. This is, of course, based on Dallas’ game and Hoban’s game both starting on time. Because Hoban’s Kerry Rogers just missed the honor by scoring at 9:38 of the first quarter. Other first-goal scorers on opening day were: · Wyoming Seminary’s Amy Trynoski, 7:05 of the third quarter. · Tunkhannock’s Heather Picchi, 1:09 of the fourth quarter. · Lake-Lehman’s Tammy Jones, 11:47 of the fourth quarter. Crestwood had a bye on opening day. Becca Castellino scored the Comets’ first goal

JOHN ERZAR NOTE BOOK the following day. O’Reilly waited about a week before Bridget Scott converted a penalty kick for the Queenswomen’s first goal. STRANGE STAT DEPT. Nine of the 10 games North Pocono (6-4-1) has played this season have been shutouts. The lone exception was the April 19 game where GAR defeated the Trojans 4-2. COACHES MEETING A reminder to WVC coaches. There will be a meeting at 6 p.m. May 20 at Marvelous Muggs, which is off Interstate 81’s Davis Street exit in Moosic. The main topic will be selecting all-star teams for the divisions. Attendance hasn’t always been great for some divisions and the only people that hurts are the players. STAYING WITH THE BOYS Although North Pocono will leave the WVC for the Lackawanna Conference in the fall, coach Dave Davis won’t be going with the Trojans. Davis has decided to remain the boys coach and relinquish the girls position. Like Dallas coach Chris Scharff, family played a part as Davis’ son will be a freshman on the boys team. STILL MISSING We know Hanover Area defeated Wyoming Seminary 4-2 on April 11, but have yet to receive the scoring summary. And Crestwood topped Hazleton Area on April 26, but nothing was reported from it. In order to have complete stats and standings, it would be nice if someone can send the scoring summaries to jerzar@timesleader.com.

BOXING

Mayweather wins, still shuns Pacquiao By TIM DAHLBERG AP Boxing Writer

AP PHOTO

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is doused with water in his corner between rounds during a WBA super welterweight title fight against Miguel Cotto on Saturday in Las Vegas.

“I don’t know where we’re going to go from here because we basically have fought everybody in this sport,” Mayweather said. “I don’t have to fight if I don’t want to.” Indeed, Mayweather hinted of retirement following his tough battle with Cotto, which ended with Mayweather claiming a piece of the154-pound title with a unanimous decision. But there’s huge money still to be made, and he’s a fighter who burns through cash with a Money Team entourage that seems to grow with each fight. Unlike most of his fights, though, Mayweather looked like he had been in a fight after beating Cotto. He had welts under his both eyes and he spoke deliberately, like a fighter who was ex-

LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather Jr. was getting ready to make his ring walk about the time Manny Pacquiao arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on Philippine Airlines Flight 102. He’ll be occupying a cell at the Clark County Detention Center by the time Pacquiao makes his way to this gambling city for his June 9 fight with Timothy Bradley. The two are seemingly destined never to be in the same spot at the same time. Certainly not in the ring, something Mayweather made clear Saturday night after taking on Miguel Cotto in a bruising fight that, if not his best, was certainly among his most exciting. “The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is not going to happen,” Mayweather said. “It’s not my fault.” Mayweather could be called out for using some convoluted logic about why the fight won’t happen. Suffice it to say he believes he’s in the driver’s seat for any mega-fight, and is both suspicious of Pacquiao and unwilling to take equal money for the bout. After making a minimum $32 million in an impressive performance Saturday night against Cotto, Mayweather could be excused for dismissing what would be the richest fight in boxing history. But, with jail time coming up for a domestic abuse charge, there will be plenty of time for reflection about his future

hausted by the effort needed to capture the 43rd win of his unblemished career. He could have danced about and beaten Cotto without taking the most punishment of his career, Mayweather insisted. But he wanted to give fans a good show, and make them happy they spent $69.95 on pay-per-view to see him fight. Having Justin Bieber and 50 Cent accompany him into the ring was entertaining, sure. But the action in the ring was even better. “Things happened tonight and we both had to fight. But the main thing is that we got the victory,” Mayweather said. “The fans were happy. It’s about impressing fans and giving them what they want to see.” The fans did enjoy it, though it was a strange strategy for the normally defensively oriented Mayweather, who said a few days before the fight that he wasn’t going to get into any brawls in the ring because he was worried about his future health. Both fighters paid a price for this brawl, with Cotto going to a local hospital for examination instead of attending the post-fight press conference. They traded punches for 12 rounds without taking a second off, and the sellout crowd at the MGM Grand arena stood and cheered most of the way. Mayweather was the sharper and cleaner puncher, but Cotto had his moments, too, landing some big shots to Mayweather’s head and body.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Mya Mae Fortune

IN BRIEF NORTHEASTERN PA: Rotarians in Northeastern Pennsylvania are seeking four outstanding professionals to visit Mexico for four weeks in April 2013 as part of the Group Study Exchange program of the Rotary Foundation. Teams of professionals exchange visits between paired areas in different countries. The award involves a four-week visit during which team members share personal knowledge of their own country and experience the customs, vocations and lifestyles of another. The purpose of a Group Study Exchange is to promote international understanding and goodwill through person-to-person contact. While abroad, team members stay in Rotarians’ homes and have the opportunity to meet their professional counterparts. They will also give presentations to Rotary clubs and other groups about their home country. The Rotary Foundation provides a round-trip air ticket and local Rotarians in the host country provide meals, lodging and group travel in their district. Team members pay for personal and incidental expenses. People interested in applying should be employed full time in a recognized business or profession. Young professionals within the age range of 25-40 are encouraged to apply. Applicants must live or be employed in Rotary District 7410 (Tioga, Bradford, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne, Wyoming, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Carbon and Monroe Counties). For more information and an application, go to rotarydistrict7410.org and click on Group Study Exchange. Contact Barbara Petty at barbararaypetty@comcast.net for an application, information or with any questions. Deadline for applications is Aug. 31, 2012.

Bride-to-be does not want the families taking sides on her wedding day Dear Abby: I’m getting married soon. My mom says we should have one side of the church reserved for my fiance’s friends and family, and one side for ours. I disagree. Not only does it make me feel like we would be separating people when the occasion should be about unity, but he doesn’t have a whole lot of people coming. My fiance says he doesn’t care, but I do! I want our guests blended in celebration of our union. Because Mom and Dad are paying half, I think Mom should have some input, but I don’t feel right about her suggestion. What do you think? — Uniting, Not Dividing

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Uniting: I agree. Although in the past brides’ and grooms’ guests were seated on opposite sides of the sanctuary, today the wedding “rules” have loosened considerably. While the bride’s and groom’s FAMILIES usually sit on opposite sides in areas marked for them, if there is an imbalance in the number of guests, an usher can correct it by seating the guests on both sides of the room without regard to who invited them. Dear Abby: Why do people act like it’s a disgrace for a son to be living with his mother? They don’t have

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

that attitude when it’s a daughter. A lot of folks are without jobs right now, and I’m insulted that people feel the need to comment. My house is paid for and my son is good company. He is not a complainer, we have a lot of the same interests, and he is constantly trying to find a job. I feel a lot safer now that he lives with me than I did living by myself, and I will miss him once he has found a job and moves out. — Mother of a Good Son Dear Mother: Because many people are without jobs right now, many individuals — and entire families — are living under one roof. It has been this way since the Great Recession hit our economy, and a person would have to be living in a cave not to understand

that it has been driven by necessity. I’m sad that people so often make comments without thinking about the effect they will have on the listener, but please don’t take them personally. Dear Abby: My husband and I own five parrots, one of which is a Miligold Macaw. “Petie” is a young bird and starting to pick up words and sounds like crazy. Something he has started mimicking has my husband and me embarrassed and worried. When we go into our bedroom, Petie starts making “amorous” sounds. Honestly, it sounds like someone is at the height of romantic passion in the living room where his cage is located. Petie practices other words and sounds during the day. We enjoy having people over to the house, and it’s

good for him to interact with them and be socialized. How should we handle the situation if he starts repeating the sounds of our bedroom activities when guests are over? — Discreet in the Midwest Dear Discreet: You could tell your guests that Petie likes to watch Rrated movies on premium cable. But don’t be embarrassed that your bird has the sounds of pleasure to imitate. It would be worse if he were saying, “Not tonight; I have a headache.” To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Waiting around for others to approach you would be a mistake. Reach your hand out and say “hi.” Keep moving from person to person until you find the one who can help you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Guard your place in a deal. Make sure your name is on the record. Get arrangements down on paper. You can be Mr. Nice Guy and still stand up for yourself. It’s high time you did. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll come across special offerings from life the likes of which other people don’t realize exist. It’s as though the forces that be are reserving a bit of magic intended just for you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel like a hunter. Stop stalking the object of your desire, and start building an irresistible lure to attract it instead. Your energy will best be spent in this manner, and you’ll enjoy the process. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll work at a numbers game, and to a great extent, how well you do will depend on the way you play the odds. But never lose sight of what really matters. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t have the time, energy or resources to do everything you think you “should” do. Make a list and whittle it down. The time you spend in planning mode will be the key to your success. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have one goal, and that is to find out how you can help the other person. This is crystal clear in your mind, and it’s the guiding principle that makes your day.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be easy to become myopic as to your own gifts and strengths. You are an expert in an area, but you don’t realize it. It will take an observant and outspoken friend to point things out to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Bounty will come to you from multiple sources. You’ll hardly know what to value more, as there are so many blessings to appreciate. Show gratitude. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You build a sense of scarcity around what you offer to others. But when you tell someone they can’t have what you’re offering, the person wants it more. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re very persuasive now and will come up with the magic words to get people motivated. It helps when what you want for them is the same thing that they want for themselves. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As much as you’d love to laugh with your friends, today you’re serious about getting something done. You’ll hardly crack a smile until you’re sure you have it in the bag. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 7). You’ll notice in the weeks to come that you’re more powerful. You’ll influence others and, more importantly, comply with selfdirectives. A business deal wraps up favorably in June. August highlights family togetherness. Investments of energy pay off in July, and you’ll apply a particular study to greatly improve your life. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 24, 13 and 35.
