Up to 300 jobs could be impacted if the plan proceeds. “I’m pushing the postmaster general to extend the moratorium and to come to Pennsylvania to see the real impact closures would have on communities like Scranton,” said Casey.

Trafficking in safety

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – Loretta Gill carries her chair to work every day, twice a day, to her corner office. Not just any corner office. Gill, 75, has been a school crossing guard at South Main and Knox streets since 1972, estimating she has stopped traffic for nearly 316,000 children walking from one curb to the other in 39 years. “I started when my Joey was 3 years old and he’s 42 now,” a smiling Gill said. Every day for 180 days of the school year, Gill sets up her folding lawn chair in the pre-dawn hours of a tiny parking lot waiting for children to arrive at the bus stop. She stays until 9:30 in the morning and returns in the afternoon from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Fortunately, Gill has had no accidents on the heavily traveled South Main Street, a major thorSee GILL, Page 10A

foot-long parchment. Under bright magnifying lamps, the pair exhaustively examines the scroll for any changes that may have occurred in transit. After more than an hourlong inspection, everything looks fine. No changes have so far been noted in any scrolls during these examinations, Shor said with a sigh of relief. The scrolls, considered by many to be the most significant archaeological find of the 20th century, are thought to have been written or collected by an ascetic Jewish sect that fled Jerusalem and settled at Qumran, in the Judean Desert on the banks of the Dead Sea. The ancient holy books and apocalyptic texts were found between 1947 and 1956 in 11 caves where they had been preserved by the arid climate inside large clay jars for two millennia. Portions of the roughly 900 manuscripts that were eventually discovered, some fragmentary and others intact, contain the earliest known versions of portions of the Hebrew Bible and have shed light on the development of Judaism and the beginning of Christianity.

Like the troubadours of old, Willie Nelson has spent most of his 79 years on the road. Since first making his name as a songwriter in the early 1960s and becoming a superstar in the 1970s, Nelson has been traveling the world bringing his iconic songs to his fans. On Friday night, he and his band of gypsies he calls his family rolled into Wilkes-Barre in the “Honeysuckle Rose III” -he drove the first two of his tour buses into the ground years ago -- and played for an adoring, sold-out crowd at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts. Nelson and his crack band made their way through 32 songs in 90 minutes, giving the audience the best of Nelson’s sizeable catalog and country classics by Hank Williams and Kris Kristofferson. As usual, the show got under way with the unfurling of a huge flag of Texas as Nelson opened with “Whiskey River.” When the opening number was through, Nelson called out for the next song, and segued directly into “Still is Still Moving to Me.” Keeping up with Nelson all night long was his trusty sidekick Mickey Raphael, who added brilliant harmonica solos to “Georgia on My Mind” and “Georgia on a Fast Train,” among many others. Nelson’s younger sister Bobbie shone brightly on the piano, particularly on her instrumental showcase near the beginning of the evening and later on “Good Hearted Woman,” which Willie had dedicated to his fallen fellow outlaw Waylon Jennings. Nelson later did two other songs associated with Jennings, the big hit duet “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys” (which has become a shouting sing-along) and “You Ask Me to.” The rhythm section of Kevin Smith on bass and Billy English on a single snare drum (Billy’s brother Paul only played on a few numbers, including his theme song “Me and Paul”) held down the bottom as Nelson – the only guitarist on the stage – made his trusty “Trigger” sound like a whole fleet of

guitars. Nelson’s jazz-inflected solos were particularly keen on “Night Life” and “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground,” but he showed off his remarkable and somewhat underrated guitar work all evening long. Much of the show seemed like an intimate listening party with a pristine copy of “The Essential Willie Nelson” as the band stuck pretty close to the big hits and kept the time between songs to the bare minimum. But Nelson did manage to get in a few new tunes, including a heartfelt, poignant “A Horse Called Music,” which will be the opening number on his new album “Heroes” when it hits the streets on Tuesday. While it may have been predictable that Nelson would run through Kristofferson’s “Help Me Make it Through the Night,” it was a bit of a surprise when he followed it with a scorching version of “Me and Bobby McGee.” Nelson also treated the crowd to four songs from the Hank Williams catalog, including nice renditions of “Jambalaya (on the Bayou),” “Move it on Over” and the spiritual “I

The concert also included some of the weirdest juxtapositions you will ever encounter as Nelson moved quickly from the gospel songs “Will the Circle be Unbroken” and “I’ll Fly Away” directly into his latest song, “Roll Me up and Smoke Me When I Die.” Nelson’s daughter Amy came out towards the end of the evening to add some harmony vocals to the last few numbers. Following the last song, Nelson then put down “Trigger” and signed autographs at the front of the stage for more than five minutes. He grinned widely as he signed album covers, books, T-shirts and everything else handed to him, sometimes clutching the marker in his teeth to free up both hands to greet as many fans as possible. Nelson and his cohorts will be “on the road again” throughout the year, having concerts scheduled well into November. Here’s hoping the once redheaded stranger will bring his busload of classic songs back our way sometime soon.

PHILADELPHIA — Inside a climate-controlled storage room with a guard posted at the door, Tania Treiger unzips a purposely nondescript case and lifts out one of the world’s oldest and most significant archaeological artifacts. The Israel Antiquities Authority conservator is one of only four people in the world allowed to handle the Dead Sea Scrolls, the centerpiece of a new exhibition at The Franklin Institute, where a painstaking examination of the ancient treasures was conducted before they are placed on public view. “Dead Sea Scrolls: Life and Faith in Ancient Times” opens today and runs through Oct. 14. The 20 scrolls chosen for The Franklin Institute — the first set of 10 will be switched with 10 others halfway through the fivemonth exhibit — contain handwritten texts from several books of the Old Testament including the opening passage from Genesis, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.” Several days before the show’s opening, Treiger and Pnina Shor, curator and head of the Dead Sea Scrolls Project, who is also based at the independent governmental organization in Jerusalem, provided a rare behind-the-scenes look at the “condition reporting” that happens every time the fragile 2,000-year-old scrolls travel. “The condition report means we are documenting the state of the scroll when it leaves our premises and when it reaches the venue,” Shor said. Treiger placed a climate-controlled sealed frame containing a remarkably intact leather parchment known as the Psalms Scroll on a long table and, joined by Franklin Institute curator Cheryl Desmond, compared it to a same-size photograph with penciled notations of the tiniest ding, scrape and pit on the three-

DEP lists mud details

The state Department of Environmental Protection released additional details Friday about several releases of drilling mud during recent construction of a natural gas pipeline in Dallas Township. DEP records indicate there have been five occurrences in four locations since May 1 in which drilling mud has burst through the ground during horizontal drilling beneath wetlands in Dallas Township for Chief Gathering’s Wyoming County Pipeline, which will tap into the Transco interstate pipeline in Dallas Township. The first occurred May 1 and released 50 gallons of drilling mud into a wetland near Leonard Creek. Crews from Chief contained the fluid on site, but it overflowed the following day, releasing 200 gallons. Also on May 2, mud returned to the surface in another area near Leonard creek, releasing 20 gallons outside containment. DEP visited the site on May 2 and 4 and saw no impact on water quality in Leonard Creek. On May 5, Chief reported that 5,000 to 6,000 gallons of mud flowed into a wetland 200 feet off Upper Demunds Road. The company used vacuum trucks to remove mud from the site. On Monday, Chief discovered 1,000 gallons of mud had burst through an old spring between Kunkle Road and Leonard Creek, with some of the mud entering the creek causing cloudiness, DEP said. A follow-up inspection Thursday found most of the mud had been removed but a slight cloudiness remained in the creek. DEP said the mud contained bentonite, a clay used in drilling. Chief said no chemicals or additives were used. SHAVERTOWN

Gay teen’s mom is buoyed by support Woman says teacher at Hanover Area bullied son By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

HANOVER TWP. – Dawn Mendygral is encouraged by the outpouring of support she and her son have received since going public on Thursday with allegations of bullying by a teacher. “I expected some response,” Mendygral, 41, of Hanover Township said. “I was inundated. It’s a positive thing. Jared is happy, too.” Mendygral and her son, Jared Swank, an18-year-old senior at Hanover Area Junior/Senior High School, met with members of the press on Thursday afternoon and Mendygral addressed the Hanover Area School Board Thursday night.

Swank Though Mendygral and her son have identified the teacher, The Times Leader is withholding the name because it has not been independently confirmed she is the subject of investigation by Hanover Area school officials. Mendygral said she and Swank have a meeting and interview scheduled with district officials on Tuesday as part of that probe. They went public with the allegations

with assistance from the NEPA Rainbow Alliance because Mendygral complained to the school principal in the past about bullying incidents and was that told they would be looked into, but the bullying continued and got worse, Mendygral said. Mendygral said she has spoken with an attorney about the issue but has not retained counsel. “My goal was not to sue her, my goal was to expose her,” she said. Mendygral said several former Hanover Area students have contacted her and applauded her going public because they too experienced bullying in the school district when they were students, with some naming the same teacher involved in the video incident.

Two schools in the Wyoming Valley were closed Friday, one due to a bed bug being found a second time, the other because of a blocked sewer line. John F. Kennedy Elementary School in Exeter was closed Friday for the second time after a single bed bug was found in the school’s main office. Good Shepherd Academy in Kingston dismissed students at noon Friday due to a blocked sewer line that backed up into the school’s basement. “(Thursday) afternoon we noticed the second bed bug,” Wyoming Area School District Superintendent Ray Bernardi said. “We had a representative from Ehrlich here training on the identification of bed bugs. He happened to be here and confirmed it was a bed bug.” Bernardi said the first incident happened April 27 in the same office. A canine bed bug inspection was conducted, and the only positive hit for bed bugs was in the main office. The single bed bug sighting, Bernardi said, was treated and the area cleaned on April 30. The second single bed bug was located Thursday afternoon and the school treated and cleaned Friday afternoon. He said the school will reopen Monday. “We are going to do the whole building again just to make sure,” Bernardi said. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed.” In the other incident, Paul Keating, administrator for the Municipality of Kingston, said fire department personnel and representatives of the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority arrived on the scene at 10:45 a.m. Friday and discovered a blocked main sewer line on Maple Avenue. Keating said the line was cleared at 12:17 p.m. “The Kingston Fire Department was called as a precaution and inspected the school and found no hazardous emissions,” said Bill Genello, spokesman for the Diocese of Scranton. “Everything checked out and school will resume Monday morning.” Good Shepherd Academy, a partner in the Holy Redeemer Regional School System, enrolls students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. “This is not uncommon,” Keating said. “But a lot of the water backed up into the basement.”

Providing drugs at jail gets man house arrest

Kevin Warman loses his LPN license but may reapply for it next year. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A former county prison nursing supervisor charged with providing prescription drugs to guards and other workers was sentenced Friday to 18 months in the county’s Intermediate Punishment Program. Kevin Warman, 51, of Edwardsville, was sentenced on a charge of acquiring or obtaining possession of a controlled substance by Luzerne County Judge David Lupas. Lupas said Warman must serve the first two months of his sentence on house arrest with an electronic monitor. The remaining will be served as probation. “I take full responsibility for my actions,” Warman told Lupas. Warman’s attorney, Thomas Cometa, told Lupas his client has lost his employment, has been cooperative with investigators and has testified before a grand

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – A New Jersey man shot in the face in what Plains Township police believe was a gang-related incident in 2010 was placed on material witness bail by a county judge after failing to appear for court proceedings. Thomas Tonic, 19, of Newark, NJ, appeared before Judge David Lupas Friday, when prosecutors requested he be held on bail to ensure his appearance at any future hearing. Lupas set Tonic’s bail at $25,000 unsecured and released him from the county prison. Township police say Jerayme Johnson, 26, shot Tonic in the face outside a nightclub at the Woodlands Inn & Resort on June 18, 2010. Johnson is a member of the Bloods street gang and Tonic associates himself with the Crips, according to court papers. Johnson faces a charge of attempted criminal homicide. Lupas said Tonic must reside with his mother in Newark and check in with Luzerne County Detective James Noone on a weekly basis. Assistant District Attorney Shannon Crake said Tonic is agreeable to any plea agreement Johnson enters into. Johnson is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 30.

jury. Cometa said Warman lost his license to work as a licensed practical nurse but is eligible to reapply for the license next year. Lupas said he felt a term of only probation was not appropriate, and that is why he was handing down the IPP sentence. Warman must undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation and any treatment recommended, and complete 50 hours of community service, Lupas said. The case was prosecuted by Deputy Attorney General Tim Doherty. Warman was one of several prison workers charged in March 2011 after a 13-month investigation into drug activity at the prison. In March, one guard, Christopher Walsh, was acquitted on a charge of providing cocaine to a fellow guard. Jason Fierman, also a guard, is scheduled to appear in county court next week. John Carey pleaded guilty and was sentenced in January to 18 months probation on charges he purchased drugs from a fellow guard. Warman was terminated from his prison job after the investigation, and testified before the grand jury in 2009 about how he obtained the drugs and then dispensed them to prison workers. Warman said he never consulted with the prison physician before obtaining medications for himself, and no system was in place at the prison infirmary to track prescriptions.

Pill to prevent HIV given to those at risk By LINDSEY TANNER AP Medical Writer

A female white albino tiger, Tigrylia is seen with her newborn cub at the Skazka Zoo in Yalta, Ukraine. The tiger gave birth to four cubs, including a rare albino. A beautiful white tigress was the symbol of Yulia Tymoshenko’s presidential election campaign, representing her ferocious resolve.

Convicted in Hudson deaths A Chicago jury on Friday convicted Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson’s former brother-in-law of murdering her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew in what prosecutors’ described as an act of vengeance by a jilted husband. Hudson, who expressed her undisguised disdain for William Balfour when she took the witness stand and who endured weeks of excruciating testimony about the October 2008 killings, was visibly overcome with emotion as the verdict was read. Hudson’s eyes filled with tears and she shook her head and bit her lip. Afterward, she looked over at her sister, Julia Hudson, and smiled. Balfour, who faces a mandatory life prison sentence, showed no emotion. Jurors deliberated for three days before reaching their verdict against Balfour, a 31-year-old former gang member who was the estranged husband of Hudson’s sister at the time of the triple murders.

A federal judge refused to throw out campaign corruption charges against John Edwards on Friday, meaning the former presidential hopeful will have to present his case to a jury. Lawyers for Edwards argued before U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles that prosecutors failed to prove the 2008 candidate intentionally violated the law or that some of the alleged offenses actually occurred in the Middle District of North Carolina, the venue where he was indicted.

Putin skipping U.S. visit Russian President Vladimir Putin is skipping a planned visit to the United States this month for an economic summit and a much-anticipated meeting with President Barack Obama, the White House announced Wednesday. The Russian leader told Obama by phone that he is unable to join the other leaders of the Group of Eight industrial nations meeting outside Washington on May 18-19 because he needs to finish work setting up his new Cabinet, the White House said. The Obama administration had moved the gathering to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland from the planned venue in Chicago partly to accommodate Putin.

Calls for bank regulation Surprise $2 billion trading loss by JPMorgan Chase leads to reaction. By DANIEL WAGNER AP Business Writer

WASHINGTON — A surprise $2 billion trading loss by a division of JPMorgan Chase triggered calls Friday for tougher regulation of banks three years after their near-death experience in the financial crisis. Stock in the bank, the largest in the United States, lost 8 percent of its value in minutes on Wall Street, and other American and British banks suffered heavy losses as well. JPMorgan Chase said Thursday that it lost the money in a trading group designed to manage the risks that it takes

with its own money. CEO Jamie Dimon said the bank’s strategy was “egregious” and poorly monitored. The disclosure, a surprise to stock analysts, quickly revived debate about whether banks can be trusted to handle risk on their own in the age of “too big to fail.” “The argument that financial institutions do not need the new rules to help them avoid the irresponsible actions that led to the crisis of 2008 is at least $2 billion harder to make today,” said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass. Frank, the retiring Democratic leader of the House Financial Services Committee, said in a statement that the revelation runs counter to JPMorgan’s narrative “blaming excessive regulation for the woes of financial institutions.”

Dimon has been among Wall Street’s most outspoken critics of efforts to regulate the financial industry more heavily. Cliff Rossi, a former top risk executive for Citigroup, Countrywide and other big financial companies, said he drew little hope from the steps Washington has taken. He said JPMorgan’s loss shows that the market for the complex financial instruments known as derivatives is too opaque. He also said the loss demonstrates that banks like JPMorgan are too big to manage effectively. “This just tells you that we are a long, long way from getting our arms around this whole ‘too big to fail’ issue,” said Rossi, now executive-in-residence at the University of Maryland’s business school.

No dismissal for Edwards

The Food and Drug Administration is considering approval of the first over-the-counter HIV test that would allow consumers to quickly test themselves for the virus at home, without medical supervision. FDA reviewers said Friday the OraQuick In-Home HIV test could play a significant role in slowing the spread of HIV, according to briefing documents posted online. But they also raised concerns about the accuracy of the test, a mouth swab that returns results in about 20 minutes.

the east of the country, one of two NATO troops killed on Friday, military officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Also Friday, the U.S.-led military coalition offered condolences to the families of Afghan civilians who were killed in airstrikes earlier this month. The shooting was the 15th incident this year in which Afghan soldiers or insurgents disguised in military uniforms have turned their weapons on foreign troops. The killings have increased the level of mistrust between the U.S.-led coalition and its Afghan partners and raised questions about the readiness of local forces to take over from NATO ahead of a 2014 deadline for the withdrawal of foreign combat troops.

Pediatrics group says too few infants breast-feed By LAURAN NEERGAARD AP Medical Writer

WASHINGTON — The real issue with breast-feeding is this: Too few infants who could really benefit from it are getting mom’s milk. Sure, Time magazine’s cover photo of a woman breast-feeding her 3-year-old is generating debate about how old is too old. But examples like that are pretty rare. About 44 percent of U.S. moms do at least some breast-feeding for six months. But only 15 percent follow advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics that babies receive breast milk alone for that time span. And fewer still stick with breast-feeding for a year, also recommended by the academy. About three-quarters of mothers say they breast-feed during their baby’s first days and weeks of life. Then it drops off fast. By their first birthday, fewer than a

quarter of children are getting breast milk, according to the government’s latest national report card on breast-feeding. That’s a public health issue, because breast-feeding brings so many benefits to babies. By 2020, the nation’s health goals call for more than a quarter of babies to be exclusively breast-fed through their first six months of life, and for more than a third to still be nursing when they turn 1 year old. To help reach those goals, the surgeon general last year issued a call to ease the obstacles that make it harder for women to breast-feed — from the hassles of pumping milk at work to a general lack of understanding about how super-healthy it is during that critical first year. “We have a lot more work to do,” says Academy of Pediatrics’ spokeswoman Dr. Tanya Altmann, a pediatrician near Los Angeles. Not every mother can or choos-

RENO, Nev. — The presidential candidates tried to put aside politically risky talk of gay rights Friday and return to Americans’ top worry, the economy, in two states critical to the hopes of President Barack Obama and his rival Mitt Romney. Obama planned to talk about how to help homeowners trying to avoid foreclosure in hard-hit Nevada, while Obama Romney was talking jobs in North Carolina — more evidence that each views the sluggish economic recovery the key issue in Novem- Romney ber’s election. For both, it was a day to move past the week’s back-and-forth on gay marriage, punctuated by Obama’s announcement that he now supports it. Romney, who reiterated his opposition to same-sex marriage repeatedly, was distracted by a news report that led him to apologize for decades ago mistreating a high school classmate who was gay. Romney will navigate a trickier course on Saturday, when he’s giving the commencement address at an evangelical Christian university in Virginia, a long-planned speech designed to help him reconcile with religious conservatives nervous about his record on social issues like abortion and gay rights. The presumptive Republican nominee planned to blend social and economic themes by telling Liberty University’s graduates that strong families are central to a strong economy. “America needs your talent and your energy, all the more now that our country’s in a tough spot,” he says in prepared remarks for his speech at the school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. “In the most practical, everyday terms, the best cultural assets are values as basic as personal responsibility, the dignity of hard work, and, above all, the commitments of family.”

CHICAGO — A pill to prevent HIV infection is already being given to some healthy people, but without government approval, it remains out of reach and too costly for many who need it. Doctors, patients and advocates say that would change if the Food and Drug Administration takes a landmark step and allows the pill, Truvada, to be marketed for prevention. The drug has been used for some time as a treatment for those already infected with the AIDS virus. “This is a pretty radical step, but I think it’s a neces-

sary step,” said Dr. Lisa Sterman of San Francisco, who prescribes the drug for already infected patients and those who are healthy but at risk of getting the virus from their partners or through risky sex. “We’ve come as far as we can with condom use and safe sex strategies,” Sterman said.

New allegations hurting Wal-Mart Nation’s leading retailer deals with reports it paid bribes to officials in Mexico.

By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — In business, you’re only as good as your last good deed. Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, in recent years has tried to repair a reputation that’s been damaged by decades of criticism and legal troubles. Community activists have blamed it for damaging the neighborhoods where it builds its stores. Labor groups have lambasted it for not treating its workers well. And politicians have called it a poor steward of the environment. Wal-Mart has been doing things like offering employees better health care coverage and working with its suppliers to reduce environmental waste. Now, allegations that Wal-Mart paid millions of dollars in bribes to officials in Mexico threaten to derail its efforts. The accusations highlight how difficult it is for a company as big and powerful as Wal-Mart to dig itself out of a pile of bad publicity. As history shows, the discounter’s low-income customers continue to shop at the retailer even when it’s having image problems. But the fallout from the latest accusations could become a distraction for the company at a time when it’s battling growing competition. The U.S. and Mexican governments reportedly are investigating the chain. Wal-Mart’s stock is down almost 5 percent since the allegations surfaced. The company and top executives are being sued by angry investors. And some shareholders are planning to vote against the reelection of several board members at Wal-Mart’s annual meeting next month. “This is a devastating blow to their reputation,” says Jonathan Low, co-founder and partner of Predictiv, LLC, which advises corporations on their image although the firm declines to give examples because of confidentiality agreements. "This undercuts all the initiatives they made in many areas.” Wal-Mart says it has an ongoing investigation into the allegations, and it’s cooperating with federal authorities. In the meantime, the retailer says it’s conducting business as usual. “We continue to focus on things customers care about like

M O N U M EN T CO .

jobs, healthier foods, sustainability and workforce development,” says Steven Restivo, a Wal-Mart spokesman. “Our commitment won’t change.” Wal-Mart wasn’t always the center of controversy. After it was founded in 1962, the retailer expanded by keeping costs down and selling items for less than competitors. The company now has more than10,000 stores worldwide — many of which are the size of two football fields. But as Wal-Mart grows, so does its troubles. Wal-Mart’s size has often made it a target. Critics, politicians and activists have portrayed it as a corporate behemoth that puts profits above its workers and the neighborhoods where it builds its stores. AntiWal-Mart sentiment reached a fever pitch around the beginning of the century when several groups funded by labor unions formed to oppose the company. The groups have argued that Wal-Mart, the largest U.S. private employer with 1.4 million workers, doesn’t pay fair wages or provide adequate health care. They have said the company’s big-box stores are eyesores that crush small businesses and wreak havoc on traffic and commerce in local communities. They have complained that WalMart hasn’t taken responsibility for its impact on the environment. And they have complained that the company buys too many goods overseas. The groups ran ad campaigns, toured around the country holding protests and tried to help organize workers. They attempted to block Wal-Mart from opening new stores in places like New York City even while competitors like Target were greeted with fanfare. Wal-Mart even was cited during the 2008 election by then-Democratic presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and John Edwards as an example of what’s wrong with big business. Then, in 2004, Wal-Mart was hit with what could have been the largest sex discrimination case in U.S. history. A group of 1.6 million female workers accused Wal-Mart of paying female workers less than male employees. Last year, the Supreme Court blocked the suit. At the time, Wal-Mart acknowledged that the bad publicity was beginning to hurt its stock. Its shares fell 20 percent from early 2005 to an eight-year low of $42 two years later.

Makeover for blind library services

Librarians and patrons say state overhaul will limit book availability.

By KATHY MATHESON Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — A plan to restructure statewide library services for the blind and disabled is being criticized by librarians and patrons who say the ill-conceived overhaul will limit book availability and hinder service for thousands of patrons in eastern Pennsylvania. State officials contend the realignment scheduled to take effect Monday will save money by consolidating functions now spread between two facilities at opposite ends of the state. But librarians in Philadelphia say the plan won’t cost less and has already cut off service to its patrons for nearly a week. “All we’ve been asking is that they please stop the process and let us all come to the table and create an effective plan,” said Keri Wilkins, administrator of Philadelphia’s Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. The Philadelphia library currently has about 13,000 patrons in eastern Pennsylvania; its counterpart in Pittsburgh serves about 8,000 people in western Pennsylvania. For years, each library has been lending its own audio books in cassette and digital formats. Under the restructuring, the Pittsburgh facility will be responsible for mailing all audio books statewide. Philadelphia will circulate specialized videos and Braille and large-print books, and also be responsible for statewide outreach. Both libraries can download books for walk-in clients. A recent state study estimates the change will save cashstrapped Pennsylvania between $2.3 million and $3 million over five years. The projected savings would come mainly through job cuts and lower leasing costs in Philadelphia, based on needing less storage space for audio material. But Wilkins said the study contains inaccurate data and had virtually no input from Philadelphia staff and patrons. The realignment will result in fewer books circulating among a larger population, and it will take longer for eastern Pennsylvania customers to get their titles, she said. “It’s the minnow swallowing the whale,” Wilkins said. Officials in Pittsburgh disagree. Carnegie Library Director Mary Frances Cooper said in a statement that staff there have “a long history of providing timely, excellent and reliable assistance” to blind and disabled patrons. “We remain committed to working with our colleagues throughout the state to provide the best possible library experience for all residents,” Cooper said. The transition has already gotten off to a rocky start, Wilkins said Wednesday. In L oving M em ory O fO ur S on

Man charged with shooting at cop Drug ring leader William Gronosky was pursued by police for stolen car in home invasion, police claim. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – A Nanticoke man “blasted away” at a pursuing Wilkes-Barre police officer, emptying an 11-round clip and reloading near a friend’s house in Bear Creek Township, according to charges filed on Friday. City police charged William Gronosky, 29, of Nanticoke, with shooting at the officer during a pursuit of a Ford Escort stolen during a home invasion on Church Street, Hanover Township, on March 25. A city police officer pursued the vehicle in the early morning hours of March 26 from Kidder Street to Pittston Boulevard, where Gronosky called Courtney Sadusky, 24, and told her to listen for the sirens. When he neared her house, Gronosky slowed the vehicle and “blasted away” at the officer, according to the criminal complaint. Gronosky allegedly reloaded the handgun and fired three to eight more rounds at the officer,

Employees are encouraged to develop changes, he said. For example, he has asked managers of departments handling wills, deeds, civil and criminal court records to come up with a recommendation to merge their offices to create a one-stop office.

Lawton said he’d prefer to directly supervise eight division heads instead of the 24 managers who now report to him, but the 2012 budget adopted by council didn’t fund the creation of new positions. He said some existing managers appear to be “very good candidates” for division head posts, but he’d have to identify funds to cover salary increases if they are promoted to positions requiring more responsibilities. Lawton said the county’s $122.6 million operating budget contains only a $200,000 contingency that may be needed for litigation or unforeseen liabilities.

Lenny Clements picked up drugs in New York for sale locally, investigators say. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A man who investigators identify as the leader of a heroin and cocaine trafficking ring was sentenced Friday to seven to 16 years in state prison. Lenny Clements, 33, with a last known address of Market Street, Pittston, was sentenced on charges of delivery of a controlled substance, corrupt organizations, criminal conspiracy and possession with intent to deliver. “The activities you engaged in are very serious,” Luzerne County Judge David Lupas told Clements, adding he is a young man who can do good with his life. “…Think twice about getting involved (in drugs) again.” Clements pleaded guilty to the charges in February. “I apologize to everyone involved,” Clements said. Clements and nearly 20 oth-

ers were charged in “Operation Last Hurrah” in September 2010 after a six-month investigation of cocaine and heroin being sold in the Pittston area since March. Investigators discovered Clements, also known as “RahRah” as the ring leader, who traveled to Bronx, N.Y., at least twice a week to pick up heroin and cocaine to sell in the Pittston area. Authorities estimate Clements and his cartel were responsible for distributing approximately $250,000 worth of cocaine and heroin. In an unrelated case in which Clements also was sentenced on Friday, investigators say he conspired with three men to sell crack and heroin from a home on Hopkins Street in Plains Township in November 2008, according to arrest and court records. An informant told state police Clements had several people do the dealing for him and that he always had drugs to sell, arrest records say. Several of Clements’ co-defendants have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced, while others are awaiting sentencing.

DeWeese loses bid to postpone jailing By PETER JACKSON Associated Press

HARRISBURG — A judge Friday refused former state House Democratic leader Bill DeWeese’s request to postpone his prison sentence on corruption charges, meaning this may be his last weekend of freedom for a long time. Dauphin County Judge Todd Hoover rejected DeWeese’s motion to delay the start of his 2 1 ⁄2-to-five-year prison term until Hoover decides if he can remain free on bail while appealing his conviction. That process is expected to take months. Hoover ordered the former

Greene County lawmaker to report as scheduled Monday afternoon to Dauphin County Prison in Harrisburg to be transferred to the state prison system. DeWeese, 62, served in the House for 35 years, including a two years as speaker. He was unopposed for the Democratic nomination in his southwestern Pennsylvania district and remains on the Nov. 6 generalelection ballot. A jury convicted him of conspiracy, conflict of interest and three counts of theft for using public resources for political purposes.

Another citizen asked Lawton how he handled county council’s recent rejection of a detective union contract. Lawton recommended the contract passage, but six of11council members opted to take negotiations to binding arbitration. “You shake it off and you move on,” Lawton said. Lawton also was asked how he will respond to forecasted state budget cuts. He said he won’t use local funds to make up the difference because the county budget is strapped and it would set a “bad precedent.”

on March 15. Police also charged his live-in girlfriend, Ashley Evans, 22, with giving Gronosky a ride after he abandoned the stolen Ford Focus near Thornhurst, Lackawanna County. Evans was charged with hindering apprehension and obstruction of justice and jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $50,000 bail. Evans is charged by state police at Wyoming with providing Gronosky a get-away car when he fled the area on April 13, when he allegedly fired two shots at a trooper who attempted to stop him near the Plymouth Township strip club. Police allege Gronosky was talking to Evans during the pursuit and told her, “I’m gonna shoot it out,” before he called Sadusky. Evans listened to the 911 broadcast of the pursuit and shooting on a scanner, according to the criminal complaint. After he was arraigned, Gronosky told reporters, “I didn’t do nothing.” Gronosky was calm when he was escorted to the arraignment, a stark contrast from Wednesday when he erupted in a profanitylaced tirade at a preliminary hearing on charges he robbed the Carousel Lounge in Plymouth Township.

WILKES-BARRE – Investigators Friday obtained a sixth search warrant in the probe of the April 5 shooting death of 14-year-old Tyler Winstead. LuzerneCountyDistrictAttorney Stefanie Salavantis declined to provide details on the sealed warrant or where the search took place. “It’s very delicate,” she said of the investigation. The warrant was approved at1:55 p.m. by President Judge Thomas F. Burke Jr. and could not be served after1:30p.m.Sunday.Aswiththeother affidavits supporting the issuance of the warrants, the most recent one was ordered sealed for 60 days. The teenager died from a gunshot woundtothechestandhisdeathhas been ruled a homicide. He was reportedly shot near his house at 121 Hill St. around 7:30 p.m. while walking home with a friend, Elijah Yusiff, afterplayingbasketballattheCatholic Youth Center a few blocks away. Yusiff told reporters the shooter drove away in a car. But on April 10 investigators conducted their first search of the house at117 Hill St. where Yussif lived with his mother Angelina DeAbreu. Three days later, they returned and were seen taking a computer tower andabottleofbleachfromthehouse. Two more warrants were approved on April 24, the day before a neighbor said she saw DeAbreu moving furniture and belongings from the house that had been searched. The fifth warrant was obtained April 30 and sought cellphone and textmessagerecordsfromDeAbreu. Residents of Hill Street said they did not notice any activity at DeAbreu’s former residence on Friday.

HARRISBURG — One of the two charges against two Penn State administrators will likely be dismissed now that prosecutors have come forward to change by one year the date they allege former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sexually assaulted a boy in the team’s showers, legal experts said. Five weeks ago, the attorney general’s office argued in a court filing concerning the charge of failing to properly report suspected child abuse against Tim Curley and Gary Schultz that the statute of limitations had not expired because the incident involving “Victim 2” occurred in March 2002. On Tuesday, Sandusky case Judge John Cleland granted prosecutors’ request to amend that offense date to February 2001. Under a timeline about the statute of limitations that was included in the March 30 filing by state prosecutors, the failure-toreport charge now appears to fall outside the time limit by nine months. “Based on the prosecution’s own pleading, the statute of limitations is 10 years from the event,” Tom Farrell, Schultz’s lawyer, said in a statement Friday. “There is no dispute that the statute of limitations has expired on the failure to report count.” Asked whether that means the charge will be dismissed, the attorney general’s office declined to

Well testing fails to show unsafe levels

U.S. EPA released test results for additional 12 homes in Northeastern Pa. By MICHAEL RUBINKAM Associated Press

ALLENTOWN — Federal environmental regulators say testing of scores of drinking-water wells in a Northeastern Pennsylvania village has failed to show unsafe levels of contamination, a blow to residents who assert a gas driller tainted their water supply with hazardous chemicals nearly four years ago. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released test results for an additional 12 homes on Friday and said they “did not show levels of contaminants that would give EPA reason to take further action.” It was the fourth and final release of data for homes in Dimock, a rural Susquehanna County community that’s found itself in the middle of a passionate debate over the safety of drilling and hydraulic fracturing in deep rock formations like the Marcellus Shale. The EPA testing is only a snapshot of the highly changeable aquifer and will not be the final word on the health of the water supply. But pro-industry groups and Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., the

Houston-based driller whose faulty gas wells were previously found to have leaked methane into the aquifer, assert the test results justify their position that Dimock’s water is safe. Residents who are suing Cabot and anti-drilling activists accuse EPA of misrepresenting the data. EPA spokesman Roy Seneca defended the quality of the testing Friday, saying “the agency

has used the best available scientific data to provide clarity to Dimock residents and address their concerns about the safety of their drinking water.” EPA sampled the well water of a total of 61 homes, though it released data on only 59 because regulators were unable to contact two of the homeowners. The agency said it will resample four wells where earlier testing by Cabot and the Pennsylvania

Department of Environmental Protection showed unsafe levels of contaminants. EPA is also planning to follow up with an additional three homeowners who also want their wells tested. “Once all of the sample results are complete, we will conduct a comprehensive review to determine if there are any trends or patterns in the data as it relates to home well water quality,” Seneca said. Meanwhile, the Dimock plaintiffs, who sued Cabot in 2009, appear to have entered into settlement talks with the company. One of their lawyers, Tate Kunkle, mentioned “progressing settlement negotiations” in a court filing late last month. State environmental regulators previously determined that Cabot contaminated the aquifer underneath homes along Carter Road in Dimock with explosive levels of methane gas, although they later determined the company had met its obligations under a consent agreement and allowed Cabot to stop delivering bulk and bottled water last fall. The EPA said Friday one of the 12 water wells was found to have an elevated level of methane. The agency notified the homeowner, state officials and the Susquehanna County Emergency Management Agency.

Data in the study, titled “Teachers Who Bully Students: Patterns and Policy Implications,” suggest that school policies and responses to reports of abusive behavior by teachers generally are ineffective or do not exist, and few schools have any avenue to address legitimate grievances. The study defines bullying by teachers or other school personnel, such as coaches, as “a pattern of conduct, rooted in a power differential, that threatens, harms, humiliates, induces fear or causes students substantial emotional distress, and serves no legitimate academic or ethical purpose.” Significant is the fact that a teacher who bullies usually receives no retribution or other negative consequences. The classroom is the most common place for such bullying to occur, McEvoy says. Bullying by a teacher is similar to peer-to-peer bullying in some respects.

comment. University of Pittsburgh law professor David A. Harris predicted the failure-to-report part of the case will soon be dropped. “We generally don’t have, in the law, things that are as clear as this, but here we do have one,” Harris said. “A statute of limitations means that too much time has gone by to prosecute, and they are to be enforced to not put people to trial unfairly.” Barb Zemlock, president of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said prosecutors should move quickly to withdraw charges they cannot pursue so that “all involved — the prosecution and the defense — can focus on the issues that are before the court, and not those that are no longer viable.” The failure-to-report charges under the state’s Child Protective Services Law are classified as summary offenses, carrying up to 90 days in jail and a $200 fine. Curley, the school’s athletic director, who is now on leave, and Schultz, the now-retired vice president for business and finance, also face felony perjury counts for allegedly lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky. The perjury charges have potential penalties of seven years in prison and $15,000 fines. The perjury charges pertain to much more recent events, when the men testified before a grand jury early last year. Their lawyers are seeking dismissal of the perjury counts on different grounds. In seeking the date change, prosecutors said only that “specific and authenticated findings” led them to conclude that the shower incident occurred in February 2001. “Victims may be chosen on the basis of apparent vulnerability (for example, someone who can’t or won’t fight back), or because the target is seen as someone others will not defend (for example, gay or lesbian), or because of some devalued personal trait,” McEvoy says. McEvoy says that once targeted, the victim is treated in a manner that sets him or her apart from peers, and there may be frequent references to how the student differs from others who presumably are more capable or valued. As a consequence, the student may also become a scapegoat among peers. Teachers who bully feel their abusive conduct is justified and will claim provocation by their targets. They often will disguise their behavior as “motivation” or an appropriate part of instruction. And sometimes they disguise abuse as appropriate disciplinary response to unacceptable behavior by the target, McEvoy says. “The target, however, is subjected to deliberate humiliation that can never serve a legitimate educational purpose.”

Fed drilling plan not proactive

HE OBAMA administration’s proposed rule for hydraulic oil and gas drilling on public lands is the equivalent of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped. The Interior Department issued a proposal last week that calls for companies to disclose the chemicals used in extracting gas and oil from shale deposits deep underground. The problem is, unlike an earlier plan that would have required them to release the information at least 30 days before starting a well, the new provision says the contents of the fracking fluid – water, sand and chemicals – don’t have to be divulged until after drilling is over. That’s hardly proactive. But the Obama administration, under criticism from Republicans and industry officials for the president’s energy policies, bowed to drillers’ objections. They said the adEDITORIAL BOARD

ditional paperwork would slow the permitting process and could jeopardize trade secrets. It decided scientists would be able to use the records to trace any future contamination after the fact, and that there was no reason to require disclosure in advance of drilling. The federal rule would apply only to 3,000 or so wells drilled each year on 700 million acres of public land administered by the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management and another 56 million acres of Indian land. Regulation of drilling on private land – the majority of the 13,000 wells drilled each year – falls to the states, and some already require prior disclosure of fracking chemicals.

With Victory Sports league, everyone wins – literally FORTY FORT – Brandon Harvey caught the ball. Maybe that doesn’t sound like a major news event, but it was an accomplishment of major league proportion. Harvey, 25, of Plymouth, has Down syndrome. He’s a member of the startup Victory Sports baseball league for adults with mental and/or physical challenges. Last week he was playing third base – the “hot corner” – during a spring training game at the Little League field on Tripp Street in Forty Fort. A left-hander, Harvey stood at the ready for anything hit his way, and on this mild early May evening, he answered the call. The ball was pitched, the batter swung and the ball was lofted in Harvey’s direction. He had it in his sights from the crack of the bat. He followed the flight of the ball – right to his glove. Brandon Harvey caught the ball, something unprecedented for this league’s participants. To appreciate Victory Sports is to appreciate the effort that each player puts forth each game. The participants are all adults – 21 and over – who love to play sports, but after “aging out” of Little League’s Challenger Division, they had no options until Victory came along. And the typical execution of baseball doesn’t happen due to their physical and/or mental challenges. Whether they have Down syndrome, or muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis, these athletes aren’t gifted with the same coordination or agility that other athletes possess. But the effort and enthusiasm are there – and always at 100-plus percent.

Though the Postal Service’s self-imposed moratorium on the closure of any postal facility ends Tuesday, don’t expect facilities facing closure to shut their doors so quickly. The brakes were put on the closure of the Scranton facility and hundreds of other Postal Service branches and mail sorting facilities in December when the Postal Service agreed to give Congress time to pass legislation to help the agency reverse years of billion dollar losses.

She did have a close call with a vehicle some time ago that struck her hand-held stop sign. “This man’s car hit my sign, and when the kids got to the curb, he got out telling me if I ever put my sign out in front of him again, I’d be picking it out of my you know what,” Gill said.

to arrive. When a mother and her daughter appeared at the curb, Gill jumped from the chair holding the stop sign high above her head and stood in the middle of South Main Street stopping two trucks and a vehicle. The little girl, probably 6 years old, offered Gill a piece of her pop tart. “No thanks sweetheart,” Gill said. “I’m watching my diet.” Gill said she crosses about 45 children a day either walking to Lee Park Elementary School on Lee Park Avenue, or waiting for eight buses to other Hanover Area schools, Good Shepherd Academy in Kingston and Holy Redeemer High School in Wilkes-Barre.

She is out there in all kinds of weather – rain, sleet and snow and in cold and hot temperatures. The coldest winter Gill said she experienced in the last 39 years was about three years ago. “I went out and bought hunting socks and they do keep the feet warm,” Gill said. Weather aside, Gill said her greatest concern is the traffic. According to the Pennsylvania Internet Traffic Monitoring System, nearly 13,000 vehicles travel South Main Street passing Gill’s “corner office,” nearly double the amount of traffic that travels the much bigger Sans Souci Parkway nearby. The speed limit for South

Main Street is 25 mph. Two yellow lights flash when Gill is crossing children in the morning and afternoon, but it is apparent motorists are not obeying the speed limit. Michael Taluto, district spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, said the speed limit does not decrease when the yellow lights flash in a non-school zone, such as a bus stop. The speed limit is 15 mph when yellow lights flash in posted school zones, according to the state’s crimes code. Despite that, young pedestrians under Gill’s watch have been kept safe.

Controversial Catholic group draws new investigation Vatican action indicates problems within Legion of Christ are not over. By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press

VATICAN CITY — The Vatican is investigating seven priests from the troubled Legion of Christ religious order for alleged sexual abuse of minors — evidence that the scandal over the order’s pedophile founder doesn’t rest solely with him, The Associated Press has learned. Two other Legion priests are being investigated by the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for alleged sacramental violations, believed to

which paid out roughly $334,000 – more than double the $125,000 that had been budgeted. The new structure ensures the county will now know exactly how much will be spent, Bufalino and Shucosky said. It also eliminates any potential for overcharges like those uncovered in Stevens’ bills. Stevens, of Kingston, was among a pool of 18 attorneys the county hired last year to handle the cases. A Times Leader investigation in February revealed she

involve abusing spiritual direction and other pastoral care to have inappropriate sexual relations with women. The investigations mark the first known Vatican action against Legion priests following the revelations of the Legion’s founder, who was long held up as a model by the Vatican despite credible accusations — later proven — that he was a drug addict who raped and molested his seminarians. The Legion, which is now under Vatican receivership, has insisted that the crimes of the Rev. Marciel Maciel were his alone. But the Vatican investigation of other Legion priests indicates that the same culture of secrecy that Maciel created within the

order to cover his crimes enabled other priests to abuse children — just as abusive clergy of other religious orders and dioceses have done around the world. In a statement Friday to the AP, the Legion confirmed it had referred seven cases of alleged abuse to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican office that investigates sex crimes. All but one involves alleged abuse dating from decades ago. “Over the past few years, in several countries, the major superiors of the Legion of Christ have received some allegations of gravely immoral acts and more serious offenses ... committed by some Legionaries,” the

statement said. It said it was committed to examining the accusations and reaching out to victims while safeguarding the rights of all involved. While the priests are under investigation, their access to children has been restricted, the Legion said. In addition to referring the cases to the Vatican as required by church law, the Legion said it had referred cases to police where civil reporting laws require it. The scandal of Maciel and the Legion ranks as one of the worst of the 20th-century Catholic Church, since he was held up as a model for the faithful by Pope John Paul II.

ceived a settlement payment of $250,000. The city later enacted a new towing ordinance that capped the amount a towing contractor could charge. Kadluboski has been criticized for towing people’s vehicles while they were at bazaars, church services and for parking in a lot while the owner went across the street for a chicken sandwich. He is known for being a self-

appointed crime-stopper, credited with aiding police on several apprehensions, including an alleged bandit who robbed a North Main Street music store on Sunday. Another suspect Kadluboski detained was on Public Square minutes after a man robbed a downtown bank. Wearing his trademark dark sunglasses during city council meetings, Kadluboski often attends to heap criticism on poli-

cies or officials. Last year he was involved in a shouting match with Mayor Tom Leighton, who called Kadluboski “Cupcake” as he was leaving a council meeting. Kadluboski has been escorted out of several council meetings after ranting about various issues, and at times he attends Wilkes-Barre Area School Board meetings to speak his mind and criticize public officials.

had double billed the county for travel time related to the delivery of fee petitions. Stevens has maintained the errors were an honest mistake, and that she was not aware of them until advised by a reporter. After she learned of the problems, she immediately contacted the county and hired a forensic accountant to audit her records. The audit, performed by Howard Silverstone of Forensic Solutions Inc. of New Jersey, determined she overcharged the county $59,042 from June 2010 to February 2012. Silverstone concluded Stevens did not charge for any work that was not authorized and that

she or her staff did perform all work for which she billed. He noted Stevens was handling a high case load and determined the errors were due in part because of the manner in which bills were processed. The overcharges to the county have already been paid back through credits Stevens was due for work she performed. She has also opted to forgo payment of roughly $20,000 she is due for work she did in January and February this year. Bufalino said the new payment structure eliminates any possibility for billing controversies because the attorneys will be paid one fee, regardless of the

work that goes into the cases. “When you contract on an outside basis you have a fixed cost. There won’t be any concerns over cost overruns,” Bufalino said. The county has received 10 applications for the positions. Bufalino said the applicants are now being evaluated. He does not know when they will be chosen, but hopes it’s within a month. In the meantime, cases will continue to be handled by several attorneys from last year’s pool. Those attorneys are still being paid $55 per hour, but the county implemented restrictions that preclude them from charging for travel.

Losing billions a year According to published reports, the agency lost $5 billion in its most recent year and is $12 billion in debt to the Treasury Department. Raymond Daiutolo, a Postal Service spokesman for eastern Pennsylvania, said that since Congress has yet to pass any bills that would help the situation, the May 15 moratorium is set to end and the facilities on the original target list would be slated to close sometime after Tuesday. But it won’t be a situation “where we close the doors on May 16,” Daiutolo said. “It takes time,” he cautioned, “to transfer the operations. It’s not something you can do in a few days.” He said for some facilities, closure could come in weeks; for others, it could be months or up to half a year. He couldn’t speak specifically about the Scranton facility. The potential closure would be the second in three years in this region. A mail processing center in Wilkes-Barre was closed in October 2009. About 100 of the 230 employees found work at the Scranton center. It’s unclear how many Scranton facility workers would be offered jobs in the Lehigh Valley. Daiutolo noted that when the Wilkes-Barre and Scranton consolidation was announced, it took a few months to complete. Moratorium history The moratorium about to expire was agreed upon last year between the Office of the Postmaster General and a group of U.S. senators to give Congress time to study and enact legislation to shape the future of Postal Service operations. Casey has been one of the leaders of the efforts and though the Senate passed the 21st Century Postal Service Act on April 25 by a 62-37 tally. The House has yet to act on it. That prompted Casey, DScranton, and other senators to begin calling for an extension on the moratorium. On Friday, Casey said with members of both parties in both chambers discussing the matter, now is not the time to move forward with closures. “As we approach the May 15th conclusion, I would like to ask you once again to extend the moratorium on postal consolidations through the end of the year to give Congress time to finish its work on legislation,” Casey wrote in a letter to Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe on Friday. “If the senator extended his request formally to the Postmaster General, I am sure that he will receive a response,” noted Daiutolo. “For now, it would not be appropriate for anyone to comment on this since it (Casey’s request) is intended for (Donahue.) Casey pointed out that nearly 2,500 jobs in Pennsylvania are potentially impacted by proposed changes for operations at just the mail processing facilities slated for closure or consolidation. In addition to Scranton, facilities in Altoona, Erie, Williamsport, Reading and five other cities are on the chopping block. The Senate bill, among other things, would prohibit the Postal Service from ending Saturday mail delivery for at least two years. That has been among a multitiered plan pitched by the USPS to save billions of dollars. The consolidation of operations and closing small rural post offices are part of the proposal to save money. The service has estimated nearly $3 billion a year would be saved by just eliminating Saturday mail delivery. A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta blamed “partisan wran-

Workers can only wait, hope By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – For 31 years, U.S. Postal Service worker Kevin Gallagher helped keep the mail flowing. But he was on the receiving end when the Postal Service delivered bad news months ago that a Scranton mail processing facility was targeted for consolidation. Since word came down in September, Gallagher – in his capacity as president of the American Postal Workers Union for Scranton and Northeast Pennsylvania – has been working the phones to representatives in Washington to make the case to save the Scranton Mail Processing Center, which employs 308 people. “It’s a very uncertain and trying situation,” said Gallagher, of Scranton. “It’s a concern I carry 24/7.” He said he’s hoping the postmaster general will reconsider the proposal to close more than 100 such facilities nationwide, including 10 in Pennsylvania, and instead allow Congress to address how to get the financially-burdened service back on firm footing. While ideas such as eliminating Saturday delivery, scaling back on rural post office hours and lifting the requirement the service contribute funds each year to future retirement accounts are all on the table, Gallagher said he hopes Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe sees that efforts are being made to save money and table closure plans. It’s an idea that has the support of Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, who noted the region’s unemployment rate, at 8.4 percent, is the highest in the state. “At a time when we’re still struggling, we don’t need to contribute to it,” Casey said. Gallagher is hopeful that a moratorium in place until Tuesday might be continued while Congress works on the issue. If the moratorium can be continued even two or three months, it would likely mean the Scranton facility, and others, would be kept open until at least next year. That’s because of another moratorium the Postal Service has placed on itself. Raymond Daiutolo, a Postal Service spokesman for eastern Pennsylvania, noted that the postmaster general already made it clear that no postal facility will shut its doors between October and Jan. 1, so there’s no issue with being able to accommodate campaign and election mail leading up to the November general election. Also, December, with holiday cards and gifts keeping mailboxes full, is typically the Postal Service’s busiest and most profitable month. gling” for the lack of a compromise bill and said the congressman would like to see the Scranton facility remain open. “Rep. Barletta has strongly supported and continues to support measures to protect the mail processing facility in Scranton and the jobs of the people employed there. He is hopeful there can be a solution that will keep that facility open,” said Shawn Kelly. “There are competing bills that decide the future of the Postal Service – one in the House and one in the Senate. Because of partisan wrangling, those bills remain in limbo. Rep. Barletta supports keeping the Scranton mail processing facility open, and he remains committed to measures that retain six-day-a-week mail delivery.” But the House bill would end Saturday delivery and gives a panel more control over the quasi-government service. The House bill would create a commission that would recommend post office closings and processing center consolidations. If the USPS fails to achieve significant cost-savings within two years, the House bill calls for an independent board that would then step in to implement deeper cuts, including layoffs.

By ROBIN SHORT For The Times Leader

ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland – The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have scratched and clawed their way back into the Eastern Conference semifinal series, setting up a Game 7 date with the St. John’s IceCaps tonight at Mile One Centre. Zach Sill scored the gamewinning goal and Paul Thompson netted an insurance marker as the Penguins skated away

with a 4-2 win over St. John’s, silencing a sold-out, white-clad crowd of 6,287. The rubber match in the best-of-seven American Hockey League second-round playoff series is 6 o’clock this evening at Mile One. “There’s no such thing as a driver’s seat in this series,” said Penguins coach John Hynes, refusing to believe his club now holds the upper hand. “It’s whoever is going to play the

best Saturday is winning the game. “Regardless of whether you’ve lost two or won two, it’s a different game, a different day and we have to be ready to play.” The Penguins now have two straight wins over the IceCaps, having skated away with a 3-2 double overtime victory at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Tuesday night, sending the series back to St. John’s.

Little separates these teams, which finished within a point of each other in the regular season standings, and were separated by five goals in the goal scoring department and one tally on the goals-against ledger. In this series, five of the six games have been tied after two periods of play. “I’ve never been in a series like this before,” Hynes said, “and it’s a credit to both teams.

“The players are bringing it every night. There are no passengers on either team so it’s great hockey to coach, great hockey to play and I’m sure it’s great hockey to watch.” Jason Williams and Cal O’Reilly had the other WilkesBarre goals.

WILKES-BARRE – Professional tennis consisted of the McEnroe sibling rivalry between brothers John and Patrick. More recently on the women’s side, the Williams sisters -- Serena and Venus -- have squared off several times in championship matches. District 2 witnessed a glimpse of a championship sibling rivalry on Friday in the Class 2A final pitting twin brothers from Wyoming Seminary in George and Harry Parkhurst. Unlike the pro matchups, Friday’s match was the first and only time the brothers will face each other with district gold on the line because they are both seniors. George, who is six minutes older than Harry, earned his second straight district title with a 7-5, 7-5 win at Kirby Park. George will now advance to the PIAA Singles Championships May 25 at the Hershey Racquet Club. “It’s not even just on the tennis court. It’s everything else. Every other sport we play,” George said. “There’s a lot of trash talk involved. It was just really exciting today.” The final had an interesting beginning because the brothers were eight minutes late for the 1:30 start time and each were penalized two game points by the PIAA official. When the action began, Harry – who will be attending Penn State in the fall hoping to walk-on to the men’s tennis team, held leads of 4-3 and 5-4 in the first set. But his brother, who is a Siena recruit and will be playing in New York in the fall, stormed back to win the final three games for a 7-5 win. The second set was similar to See RIVALRY, Page 5B

AUTO RACING

Master motorman Shelby dead at 89 By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

At the height of his racing career, the so-called Willie Mays of motorsports made a memorable visit to the Wyoming Valley. Carroll Shelby, creator of the highly successful Shelby Cobra, competed in a pair of auto races in the Wyoming Valley in 1956. He passed away Friday after suffering from pneumonia at the age of 89. “He was a big contribution to everyone moving faster,” sixtime Giants Despair Hillclimb champion Darryl Danko said. “He set the pace. He’s larger than life in motorsports.”

“It’s quite a shame,” said Dino Oberto, a track announcer at Pocono Raceway. “What he did for American Shelby racing is beyond recognition. He conquered the world with homemade machinery. He created a legacy in which every American carmaker tries to live up to today.” Arguably the most famous race car driver of his time, Shelby raced to a first-place finish at the Giants Despair Hillclimb in Laurel Run on July 20, 1956, be-

fore taking the checkered flag at the long-defunct Brynfan Tyddyn in Harveys Lake. Giants Despair Hillclimb director Jack Danko Sr. remembers Shelby’s appearance creating a large buzz in the Wyoming Valley. Fans, some of whom weren’t exactly motorsports enthusiasts, welcomed the driver. “I was kind of a young guy,” Jack Danko said. “I loved cars as a young guy. I remember it being a big deal for a long time. From what I can recall, there was an intense energy that day. HARVEYSLAKE.ORG It was electrifying.” Shelby became the first drive Carroll Shelby is shown with the checkered flag in his Ferrari after winning the Brynfan Tyddyn at to finish under a minute at the Harvey’s Lake in 1956.

Track record performer Fox Valley Iliad is back for an encore tonight in the co-featured $25,000 Open Trot. The four-year old son of Vaporize was absolutely awesome in his most recent start last Friday at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. After starting from the rail, driver Tom Jackson quarter-poled early and never looked back, winning by a hard fought head in a sensational mile of 1:52.3.

The Philadelphia Phillies’ John Mayberry Jr. follows through after hitting an RBI-single in the seventh inning against the San Diego Padres on Friday in Philadelphia. Philadelphia won 7-3.

Ruiz HR lifts Phils to win vs. Padres The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Carlos Ruiz went 3-for-3 with a homer and three RBIs and John Mayberry Jr. homered and drove in three runs to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-3 win over the San Diego Padres on Friday night. Vance Worley (3-2) allowed three runs on six hits, striking out nine, in six innings to help the Phillies snap a three-game losing streak. Placido Polanco had a pair of doubles for Philadelphia, which was playing its first game after manager Charlie Manuel’s much-publicized team meeting on Wednesday with the slumping five-time NL East defending champs who entered Friday four games below .500. Astros 1, Pirates 0

PITTSBURGH — Bud Norris allowed three hits in six sharp innings and the Houston Astros edged the Pittsburgh Pirates. Brian Bogusevic tripled and scored in the second to provide all the offense the Astros needed in support of Norris (3-1), who struck out eight without walking a batter. Brett Myers pitched the

ninth for his ninth save. Marlins 6, Mets 5

MIAMI — Greg Dobbs’ single with two outs in the ninth inning scored Emilio Bonifacio from second base with the winning run, and the Miami Marlins rallied to end the New York Mets’ five-game winning streak. The Marlins scored twice in the ninth off Frank Francisco to win for the ninth time in 10 games. They were coming off an 8-1 trip, the best in franchise history. Nationals 7, Reds 3

CINCINNATI — Roger Bernadina and Danny Espinosa each hit a two-run homer in one of Washington’s biggest scoring splurges of the season, leading the light-hitting Nationals to a victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Washington matched its season high for runs by taking advantage of Mike Leake (0-5), who lasted three innings and remained winless in six starts. He gave up seven hits and six runs, including the homers by Bernadina and Espinosa. It’s the second time Leake has failed to last four innings this season.

NEW YORK — Raul Ibanez hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off former Seattle teammate Felix Hernandez with two outs in the sixth inning, Robinson Cano had four hits and the New York Yankees overcame a home run by Jesus Montero to beat the Mariners 6-2 Friday night. Hernandez (3-2) lost for the first time at new Yankee Stadium, where the 2010 AL Cy Young Award winner had allowed just one earned run in 24 innings coming in. Hiroki Kuroda (3-4) improved to 3-1 at home, allowing a solo homer to Dustin Ackley leading off the game and another in the sixth to Montero, acquired by the Mariners in the January trade that sent Michael Pineda to New York.

Darren O’Day (3-0) pitched the seventh, Pedro Strop worked a perfect eighth and Jim Johnson got three straight outs for his 10th save. White Sox 5, Royals 0

CHICAGO — Adam Dunn hit his 11th homer to match his total from last season, leading Gavin Floyd and the Chicago White Sox to a victory over the Kansas City Royals. Dunn’s long homer to right off Felipe Paulino gave Floyd the lead in the first. It was Dunn’s sixth homer in his last 10 games. Floyd (3-3) allowed five hits, struck out five and walked two in 72⁄3 strong innings. Red Sox 7, Indians 5

Yankees unable to cap rally

After erasing a five-run deficit, the Yankees could not get the lead against Bulls. The Times Leader staff

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Scranton/Wilkes-Barre couldn’t pull off another come-from-behind victory on Friday, but it put forth a valiant effort. The Yankees trailed Durham by five runs in the seventh inning and evened the score but still dropped an 8-7 decision at Frontier Field. If they had won, the Yankees would have earned their 12th win after their opponent scored first. The Yankees erased a five-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh by plating five runs. Red-hot Steve Pearce (2-for-5) slugged his sixth home run of the season in the bottom of the seventh for the Yankees to trim the Bulls lead to 7-3. The multi-hit game accounted for his 13th contest with at least two hits. He entered Friday as the batting average leader in the International League, hitting a blazing .360. Francisco Cervelli (2-for-5) came through with an RBI-hit for SWB’s fourth run. Two batters later, Cole Garner followed with a two-out, three-run homer to tie the game at 7. The score remained the same until the top of the 10th frame, when Durham’s Shawn O’Malley singled with one out. O’Malley advanced to second base on a walk, stole third base, and came around to score when Cole Figueroa hit a two-out single. Trying for the fifth time to get a win for his 20th different team, Ramon Ortiz’ start Friday night didn’t go as hoped. The 38-year-old right-hander was roughed up for six runs and seven hits in 5 2⁄3 innings. Ortiz was tagged for five runs in the third inning, which helped the Bulls open a big lead the Yankees couldn’t come back from. The big blow in the frame came off the bat of Reid Brignac, who took Ortiz deep for a three-run blast. Former Scranton/WilkesBarre pitcher Lance Pendleton started for Durham and fared better than his counterpart. On Friday, the right-hander proved he’s still a valuable arm to have around. He threw three shutout innings before the Yankees finally scored a pair of runs on hits by Francisco Cervelli and Yadil Mujica to trim Durham’s lead to 5-2. Pendleton lasted five innings only allowing those two runs and six hits. Pendleton, who entered with a 1-1 record, was originally drafted by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2005 draft. In 2010 and 2011, he pitched for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, compiling a 5-5 record for the Yankees in 41 games, including 15 starts. He also got a taste of the Major Leagues last year, getting called up to New York before getting claimed off waivers by Houston and seeing time for the Astros. He was released by the Astros before the season started and latched on with Tampa Bay’s organization in the middle of April. Notes: Friday’s game against Durham was the 15th straight home game for the Yankees. Their 18-game homestand concludes on Monday when the fourgame series against the Bulls ends. Durham 8, Yankees 7

Caps, Rangers practice once more before Game 7 By IRA PODELL AP Sports Writer

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Brad Richards is getting ready for the Rangers’ latest Game 7 the same way the star forward did years ago when he was a kid with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Well, almost the same. “I’m probably a little more nervous the older I get because I was kind of young and stupid at that time,” the 32-year-old Richards said Friday. “It’s a fun day. You cherish the chances you get to be in them. You treat it like a great day in your life. You don’t get many chances to do something like that at Madison Square Garden; Game 7 on a Saturday night. Where else would you want to be?”

DISTANCE

UP NEXT GAME 7 Washington Capitals at New York Rangers 7:30 p.m. today, NBCSN

Hard to argue. The Rangers are 4-3 at home in the first two rounds of the playoffs against Ottawa and Washington, but it was on the familiar Garden ice that New York knocked out the Senators in Game 7 to set up the Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Capitals. The Rangers know that a season in which they finished first in the East will have a hollow feeling if they don’t win Saturday and advance to face Atlantic Division-

rival New Jersey in the conference finals. “It’s one game now,” Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said. “It doesn’t matter really what happened in the rest of the series and what happened last game. It comes down to one game that you have to win. “There is no other group I would rather be doing this with.” The Rangers outlasted Ottawa 2-1 in the deciding game late last month, and they say they’re approaching this one the same way, with perhaps a few wrinkles. Rangers coach John Tortorella had players who had been in previous Game 7s talk to the club before the final game of the first round. While one game doesn’t make someone a grizzled veteran

of the greatest pressure on the biggest stage, it does give players an idea of what to expect. “I don’t think anybody has to speak (Saturday),” Tortorella said Friday after practice that followed a day off at the start of a two-day break following Washington’s Game 6 win. “I know Game 7 isn’t just a game, but we don’t change how we do things. “As we’ve done before, we go about our business. It’s always good to have the experience of it. But every time we go into our building I think how we approach it is not going to be different. We are ready to play and all you have to be ready for in Game 7 is to be ready to play. Let’s not get convoluted here. We will be ready to play.”

SHELBY Continued from Page 1B

Giants Despair, finishing the mile-long time trial in 58.768 seconds in a 4.5 Grand Prix Ferrari. Before Shelby’s accomplishment, Jack Danko said, the breaking the “magic minute” had been long considered nextto-impossible. “A minute was something that was looked upon as more than a challenge,” Jack Danko said. “A lot of drivers tried before that but none succeeded.” A day later, Shelby made history again as the winner of the last Brynfan Tyddyn. He captured the 15-lap lake race at a 44:47.4 clip, averaging a lap time of 2:58.1 on a wet road.

It is hardly a stretch to figure that the Caps and Rangers will stage another nail-biter — one that might need extra time that could rival New York’s tripleovertime win at Washington in Game 3. The Rangers hold a 13-12 edge in goals, and both goalies are expected to be back on top of their games again. Henrik Lundqvist might have an advantage over Washington’s 22-year-old youngster Braden Holtby, whose fiancee gave birth to a boy on Thursday. “It was planned to be the least amount of a distraction to the team as possible,” Holtby said. “It was a great day. Mom and baby are doing great, but now the focus is on hockey.”

Hawkeyes’ duo teams to keep MMI hitless

first-period power play goal, Cormier got the IceCaps on the scoreboard 4:31 into the second period, redirecting Paul Postma’s shot from the blueline while St. John’s enjoyed a man advantage. It stood a tie game for just under seven minutes when big Sawada barged through the Penguins’ crease and whacked a loose puck past Brad Thiessen for his second of the postseason. And then St. John’s ran into penalty trouble with minors to Cormier, Brett Festerling and Aaron Gagnon, all within a two-minute span. Enjoying a five-on-three advantage, veteran O’Reilly cashed in at 19:52 from the side of the net after Pasquale made the initial save. The IceCaps managed to kill off the remaining penalties to open the third period, but couldn’t stop Sill just over five minutes in when he slammed home a rebound for the Penguins’ third goal after Geoff Walker had taken a shot from a sharp angle. Thompson put the nail in the coffin at the 16:30 mark, gobbling up a Derek Meech turnover, racing the length of the ice and beating Pasquale. “That was an important goal,” Hynes said of the O’Reilly tally, which tied the game 2-2, “because the game was really separated by the special teams, and I think in a series this tight, if you get those opportunities, you have to score. “There’s not a lot separating these teams. The players are competitive and they’re consistently matching each other. When one team raises the ante, the other team raises the ante. When that team raises the ante, the other team raises the ante.” Both teams registered 31 shots on goal, and two of Thiessen’s biggest saves came off of breakaways by Aaron Gagnon and Ben Maxwell. “If you look at the series,” Hynes said, “there’s been a lot of ugly goals and some pretty goals. I’m not sure what it’s going to take to win, but I know it’s going to take a tremendous effort.”

It doesn’t get much closer than this. Through six games, the seventh-seeded Capitals and the Rangers have alternated wins and losses, and have been tied or within one goal 90 percent of the time. The club that has scored first has won every game, and since New York’s 3-1 victory in the opener, the next five games have been decided by one goal — including two that went to overtime. “I would say it’s a different mindset,” Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom said of a road Game 7. “We don’t have the pressure on us. They’re the No. 1 seed and the favorite. We just have to throw everything we’ve got at them, and hopefully get the W.”

HANOVER TWP. – Pat Cook and Mike Ferrence combined to keep MMI Prep hitless in a five-inning, 10-0 win at home for Hanover Area in Wyoming Valley Conference baseball Friday afternoon. Cook went the first four innings for the Hawkeyes, giving up just four walks. Ferrence struck out two in the fifth inning to shut the door. Joe Rutkoski had three hits and two RBI to pace the Hanover Area offense, while Jeremy McDonnell added two hits and two RBI. MMI Prep

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Zach Johnson putts on the 17th green during the second round of the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass on Friday in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

Johnson leads; McIlroy misses cut PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — After breaking 70 for the first time in seven weeks, Tiger Woods headed to the back of the practice range at the TPC Sawgrass to fine-tune his swing. That was much better than going to the clubhouse to clean out his locker. The Players Championship featured Matt Kuchar, Zach John and Kevin Na atop the leaderboard Friday. What it lacked was some of the golf’s biggest names. Rory McIlroy stumbled to a 76 and became the first player at No. 1 in the world ranking to miss the cut at Sawgrass since Greg Norman in 1996. Steve Stricker had made a PGA Tourleading 49 cuts in a row until he shot 74 and ended a streak that began in August 2009. And with 11 holes left in his round, Woods was two shots over the cut line and in jeopardy of missing backto-back cuts for the first time in

his career. The thought never crossed his mind. Instead, he blistered a 5-wood into the breeze on the eighth hole — the toughest par 3 on the course — and watched it catch a slope on the edge of the green and roll 8 feet away from the cup. That was the first of four straight birdies for Woods, who wound up with a 68. He said he was only thinking about a 66 to get momentum going into the weekend, and he missed by two. “I was trying to shoot my number today,” Woods said. “Sixtysix was my number today. I figured that would have been a good way to go into the weekend, being probably four or five back. But I’m still with a good chance.” Everyone has a chance going into the weekend, including Woods and Phil Mickelson, the Hall of Fame’s newest member. They were six shots behind. But they are chasing the gang from

Sea Island — home of Kuchar and Johnson, along with PGA Tour rookie Harris English, who was one shot out of the lead. Johnson made five birdies on the back nine until a bogey on the 18th hole, though he matched the best score of the second round with a 66. Kuchar, who made a strong run at the Masters last month, played bogey-free over his last 13 holes for a 68. Na started the back nine with three straight birdies for a 69. “It’s fun to be back in position with a chance to win again,” Kuchar said. They were at 8-under 136, meaning only eight shots separate first from worst going into the final 36 holes on a most unpredictable Stadium Course. The top 14 players on the leaderboard were separated by only three strokes. English birdied the 17th and 18th for a 67, while the group at 6-under 138 included past champion Adam Scott (70).

According to the website Harvey’s Lake History, a fatal prerace accident caused the demise of the lake race. One of the spectators took a competitor’s car without permission to test the course and hit a telephone pole. The race would not be held again. Shelby’s accomplishments in Giants Despair and Brynfan Tyddyn made print in Sports Illustrated’s July 30, 1956, issue. The two victories helped forge his case for the magazine’s driver of the year in 1956. Darryl Danko was born well after Shelby’s appearance; however, growing up in a Danko household, he has heard stories of the infamous 1956 race often retold. “Back then, it was unheard of,” he said. “He was from Tex-

as, and he came to the little town of Laurel Run. From what I’ve heard, everyone was going nuts when he came here. The fans were starstruck and loud.” Shelby did not play the celebrity card. Despite his status, he spent much of the weekend giving fans and other drivers his expertise on cars. “The craziest thing was that he was not like one of those guys who think they are bigger than the race,” Darryl Danko said. “He was helping other guys, showing them how to race and how to make adjustments on their cars. He was giving his competitors advice.” Following a health issue, Shelby devoted his life to building cars, becoming one of the most successful independent sports-car builders of all-time.

“He was just a great innovator,” Oberto said. “Look at what he started in the 1960s. Those cars made an impact on the American cars that are built today.” Coincidentally, for the past two years, Darryl Danko has competed in the Giants Despair Hillclimb in a 1973 Gurney Eagle indy car, designed by Shelby and Dan Gurney. Jack Danko Sr. said it was the only one remaining version of the model -which raced from 1973-80 at the Indianapolis 500 -- on the road today. “We did quite a bit of research,” Jack Danko Sr. said. “We know that there were probably three built, two of them were involved in fiery crashes. Unless one was restored, we have the only one on the road.”

There’s only one District 2 playoff berth left in Wyoming Valley Conference girls soccer entering the final full day of the regular season Monday. Wyoming Area (10-2-1) clinched the Division 2-B title and the division’s only playoff berth by tying Tunkhannock 2-2 on Thursday. All that remains is the second district spot out of Division 2-A. It will go to either North Pocono or Hanover Area. Both are 6-5-1. North Pocono finishes its season at Honesdale, while Hanover Area hosts Wyoming Seminary in its season finale. North Pocono defeated the Hornets 1-0 in the first meeting of the season. Hanover Area lost 4-2 to Seminary. Those games were played April 11. If North Pocono and Hanover Area tie for the final district spot, there will be a playoff game later next week. Besides Wyoming Area, the following teams are locked into the 10-team postseason, which is scheduled to begin either May 18 or 19 with two first-round games. Division 1-A: Dallas (10-1); Coughlin (10-2-1); Crestwood (8-4); Berwick (7-3-1). Division 1-B: Lake-Lehman (9-3); Delaware Valley (5-7); Hazleton Area (4-7-1). Division 2-A: Pittston Area (10-3).

Source: Jets turn down HBO sequel By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — There will be no summer sequel for the Jets on “Hard Knocks” this season. A person familiar with the decision said the team decided to not participate in the hit HBO show this year after being approached by the cable network about appearing again. Rex Ryan, Mark Sanchez & Co. were big stars and drew huge ratings two years ago — the last time the show aired — but the Jets opted to pass on doing it

again this summer, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because neither the team nor the cable network had announced the decision. The Atlanta Falcons have also turned down the chance at appearing on the show this season. The arrival of Tim Tebow and the dynamic between him and Sanchez would have made for intriguing television, but the person said the Jets’ decision stemmed from having a new offensive coordinator, Tony Sparano, who is installing a new sys-

tem. The team used similar reasoning for turning down the show in 2009, Ryan’s first season as head coach, in trying to limit distractions during training camp. The person says, however, that the Jets would be open to appearing on a future season of “Hard Knocks.” Ryan, owner Woody Johnson and general manager Mike Tannenbaum all praised HBO and NFL Films for the way they handled filming their training camp in Cortland, N.Y., in 2010. Many

of the players said they even forgot the cameras were there most of the time. But Ryan and Tannenbaum also expressed reservations this offseason about doing it this year, particularly with the team missing the playoffs last season and dealing with some locker room tension. The team has been tightlipped so far on how it will use Tebow, the versatile backup quarterback, in the offense, so keeping those plans under wraps might have also played a role in the overall decision.

Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez wins first hilly stage of Giro as Malori takes overall lead. The Associated Press

PORTO SANT’ELPIDIO, Italy — Colombian rider Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez won the hilly sixth stage of the Giro d’Italia with a long breakaway and Italy’s Adriano Malori took the overall lead on Friday. Rubiano Chavez was one of several riders who broke away from the main pack just 14 miles into the 130-mile leg from Urbino to Porto Sant’Elpidio, then he charged in front alone for the final 19 miles. Rubiano Chavez, who rides for the Androni Giocattoli-Venezuela team, clocked 5 hours, 38 minutes, 30 seconds. Malori, also a member of the breakaway, crossed second, about 1 minute, 10 seconds behind. He leads Michal Golas of Omega Pharma-Quickstep by 15 seconds overall. Previous leader Ramunas Navardauskas fell behind in the second half of the stage, one of several riders to struggle in the race’s first hilly leg, with temperatures in the mid-80s also a factor for the first time. The breakaway group at one point held a seven-minute lead over the main pack. “At first I was just aiming for the mountain points, but then when I heard how far behind the group was I decided to take a risk and try a breakaway, and it went well,” said Rubiano Chavez, who rides for the Androni GiocattoliVenezuela team. Thor Hushovd of Norway, the 2010 world champion, dropped out midway through the stage, apparently because of exhaustion. Spanish rider Pablo Lastras Garcia crashed during a downhill section and withdrew. The 127-mile seventh stage on Saturday from Recanati to Rocca Di Cambio features the first uphill finish after passing through the L’Aquila region hit by a major earthquake in 2009. The race ends May 27 in Milan.

Wyoming Seminary’s Harry Parkhurst volleys at the net against Scranton Prep’s Will Cognetti in the District 2 boys Class 2A tennis semifinal at Kirby Park on Friday afternoon.

Seminary is big winner By DAVE ROSENGRANT drosengrant@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Mike Balutanski sat on the bleachers outside the fenced-in tennis courts at Kirby Park on Friday watching intently and not picking a rooting interest. The Wyoming Seminary boys coach was in a unique situation during the District 2 Class 2A boys singles tennis final because he was going to walk away as coach of the gold medalist. Two of his players – George Parkhurst and Harry Parkhurst – squared off against each other with the gold medal on the line. Not only are the two teammates, but they are twin brothers, marking the first time since 2008 in District 2 that siblings faced each other for the district title. The last time it occurred was on the girls side with Berwick’s Katie and Sara Lynn going at it -- with Katie winning the battle. “It was of course a little bit conflicted. I had no favorite. But what I witnessed was what I have hoped to witness which is a high level of tennis,” the Blue Knights coach said. Balutanski knew his players were going to face each other about an hour before they walked on the court. He offered a bit

the first. Again, Harry opened a lead. This time he was ahead 3-0 before George won the next three games to even the score. The Shavertown residents alternated winning the next five games until George held his first lead of the second set with a 6-5 advantage. He went on to win the final game as well for a 7-5 win. “When you come from behind and lose, it’s a bit devastating. And when you lose a lead, it’s also devastating,” Harry said. “But, he played well and I don’t feel like I gave anything to him. I feel like he took it away from me, so I’m not too upset about that.”

of advice to both athletes. Harry Parkhurst politely declined, while his brother took some friendly suggestions. The coach has known the twins for more than 10 years, so he asked them if they wanted advice. Knowing them for so long made the moment even prouder. What makes the situation even more unique is that not many coaches find themselves in Balutanski’s shoes. Tennis is one of just a few PIAA sports – along with swimming and track and field – where athletes from the same school can

face each other with a gold medal on the line. “It’s certainly a thrill,” Balutanski noted. “Anybody who does any coaching would like to see one player in the final. But to get both players in the final – and especially since I’ve known them since they were 6-7 years old – it’s an extra thrill.” The Parkhursts playing each other for the gold medal wasn’t just a special occasion because they’re brothers, it’s also a great day for their school. It marked the first time in the District 2 boys tournament that teammates played for the title since a pair of Scranton Prep standouts did so in 2010. So when George defeated Harry, it made the loss easier to take. “The goal was to have two Sem players in the finals and the fact we did that was a great accomplishment for us,” Harry said. “Obviously when you lose to somebody from your school it’s not as bad as losing to somebody else.” Balutanski will now lead his team to the first round of the PIAA Team Championships on Tuesday. Also next week begins the D2 doubles tournament followed by the state’s team tournament in Hershey next weekend.

George said playing his brother so many times in practice and other events may have been advantageous because they know each other so well. “It’s kind of a mind game when we play each other and it’s about who’s out there playing that day, rather than who’s the better player overall,” George added. Harry will likely go on to play doubles with Henry Cornell now for the next postseason event. In 2011, the duo teamed to win a District 2 doubles title and won a match at the PIAA Championships. George Parkhurst also won a match at states last season in singles. “Harry and Henry have got a really good friendship and I think they have a really good chance of going far in states,”

George noted. “I’m looking forward to states as well. I think I’ve got a good shot.” In the semifinals, George knocked off Scranton Prep’s Walker Temperton 6-2, 6-1. Harry’s win was slightly more impressive dispatching the No. 2 seed in Prep’s Will Cognetti. In doing so, Harry was down 3-0 to Cognetti in the first set before coming from behind for a 6-4 win then taking the second set 6-2. “He didn’t display any negative body language and just game-by-game fought back and then took control of the match after that,” Blue Knights coach Mike Balutanski said. “He mixed up his game very, very well and for today he was good enough to overcome a tough start.”

HANOVER TWP. – Hanover Area needed a tune up before facing Northwest next week with the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 2 title on the line. Having not played a league game since May 3, the Hawkeyes showed no rust at the plate in a 10-0 win over MMI Prep on Friday. “I’m very happy with where we are at,” Hanover Area coach Tami Thomas said. “We hit the ball well today. I’m hoping that carries over to Northwest on Monday.” Danielle Tuzinski struck out seven in the victory and had to deal with just three baserunners all game. Six of her strikeouts came against the first 10 batters for the Preppers. Hanover Area (9-0 WVC) scored four runs in the first inning and three more in the third, reaching 10 with one out in the bottom of the fifth. The Hawkeyes had 12 hits, with eight players having at least one. The offensive showcase featured eight doubles as the clang of the outfield fence 200 feet away from home plate often followed a swing from a Hanover Area batter. “Emily Rinehimer (two doubles, two RBI) has been hitting the ball well for us all season,” Thomas said. “Katie Pelak (two doubles, single, RBI) was hurt last game, but I put her in today and she did very well. Caitlyn Bogart (two double, two RBI) also. “This team, they’ve all stepped up offensively throughout the season.” MMI Prep (3-7) remains fifth in the Class A playoff picture, meaning a road game to start the District 2 playoffs. But the Preppers found some positives in the tough loss. Kirsten Young’s double to right-center was hit as well as any of the Hawkeyes’ doubles.

And relief pitcher Kristen Purcell turned a nice double play on a pop up by Tuzinski, catching the pop for one out and beating baserunner Brittany McNair to an unmanned third base for another out. “It’s great to see these things,” MMI Prep coach Marsha Kringe said. “Kristen Purcell had a double play against GAR (Wednesday). When you have plays like that made, they can pick up the morale of the whole team.” Hanover Area currently sits in the top spot in the District 2 Class 2A playoff hunt. The toptwo teams in Class 2A earn first-round byes in the district tourney. Hanover Area 10, MMI Prep 0 MMI Prep

Soaring Sixers ready for Celtics

EASTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS

By JIMMY GOLEN AP Sports Writer

WALTHAM, Mass. — The Philadelphia 76ers danced in celebration after their firstround upset of the top-seeded Chicago Bulls. The Boston Celtics plodded off the court after clinching their first-round series, in search of the nearest bucket of ice. “They were excited. We were relieved,” Boston coach Doc Rivers said Friday, the only offday before the Celtics and Sixers begin the Eastern Conference semifinals tonight. “When the clock went off for us, we were like, ‘Oh my goodness. Let’s go to bed.”’ Philadelphia took advantage of a Chicago team missing Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah to become just the fifth No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 seed in the NBA playoffs. They celebrated appropriately: Andre Iguodala, who sank the game-winning free throws with 2.2 seconds left, hopped on the scorer’s table as the 76ers’ anthem blared in the arena and confetti fluttered down from the rafters. “I don’t even know what to say. I really don’t. What this means to me, and the organization, and our team. It’s just off the charts,” coach Doug Collins said afterwards. “Sometimes you just can’t figure this out. Sometimes you’ve just got to

Andre Iguodala sent the 76ers to the Eastern Conference semifinals with last-second free throws against Chicago.

enjoy it. That’s what I’m sure going to do I can tell you that. It’s been an incredible year.” The Celtics eliminated Atlanta in six games, but they aren’t ready to celebrate yet. Boston has advanced at least to the second round of the NBA playoffs in every year since the new Big 3 was assembled in the summer of 2007, twice reaching the finals and winning it all in 2008. The Sixers had not won a playoff series since 2003, and

only a few Sixers have ever gone this far in the postseason. “I told them, ‘Now we’re in the high rent district. Now you start really finding out what it’s all about,”’ Collins said. “(You) can’t put a price on experience, what our guys are gaining every single day. Just to watch the joy that they had in that locker room after the game was something I’ll never forget.” Rivers said he didn’t expect the 76ers to be a pushover because they were happy just to finally win a playoff series. Sometimes the excitement of that first win can carry a team in later rounds, he said. “They have the emotional advantage because of their win,”

Rivers said. “We have to match that.” Rivers has more than just emotion to worry about. Paul Pierce has been nursing a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, and though he had 18 points in Game 6 he was clearly not moving as well. He said Friday he could run and jump straight, but it bothered him when he tried to move laterally. He is now wearing braces on both knees, and he said he expects to play tonight. “It’s probably not going to be better until the season’s over,” Pierce said. “I just can’t overdo it, do something that could hurt my career.”

MIAMI — Heat forward LeBron James is the NBA’s MVP for a third time, putting him alongside some of the game’s all-time greats. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that James will be announced Saturday as this year’s winner of the league’s top individual honor, and that he’ll be formally presented with the trophy by Commissioner David Stern on Sunday afternoon before Miami hosts Indiana in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the league has not announced the results. James is winning the award for the third time in four seasons. Only seven other players — Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Moses Malone — have at least three MVP trophies. James said last week that while another MVP award “would be amazing and would be humbling,” it’s not what drives him. In his ninth season, James still has not won an NBA title and it’s clear that, although he wanted to reclaim the MVP trophy, winning a championship is far and away his top basketball priority. “What I’m all about is team and ever since I was a kid, I was always taught it’s team first,” James told the AP on Friday. “My first time playing basketball, we went undefeated and won a championship

and Frank Walker Sr. gave everyone on the team a MVP trophy. Right then and there, I knewthatthisis what I wanted James to do. I wanted to see my teammates reap the benefits as well.” Abdul-Jabbar won the MVP six times, Jordan and Russell five times each, Chamberlain four times. After this weekend, they’ll be the only players with more than James. “I think he’s probably as committed as he’s ever been in his career,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said this week, asked to summarize James’ season. “And he’s always been committed. ... We all respond to his energy on the court.” James averaged 27.1points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists — making him only the fourth player with those totals in at least two different seasons, according to STATS LLC, joining Oscar Robertson (five times), John Havlicek (twice) and Bird (twice). Add James’ 53 percent shooting and 1.9 steals per game into the mix, and the club gets even more exclusive. Only Jordan had a season with numbers exceeding what James did this season in those categories — 1988-89, when he averaged 32.5 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and 2.9 steals on 54 percent shooting. And Jordan wasn’t even the MVP that year, the trophy going to Johnson instead.

Smith returns to scene of his only Cup victory Win last May at Darlington hasn’t brought about expected success. By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Regan Smith had hoped his first career victory would be the turning point for his career. Yet here he is a year later, and not much has changed for the better. Smith picked up the only win of his Sprint Cup career at Darlington Raceway last May. Although he said Friday the victory was a “momentum booster,” he’s in dire need of another one. Smith goes into tonight’s race ranked 27th in points, with just one top-15 finish all season. “We have been struggling this year for about the past four weeks now, five weeks,” Smith

said. “We started the year off good, we thought we were going to be in good shape and just kind of hit a wall and have not progressed at all. We could use another good night like (last year) here this weekend.” Smith’s best finish this season is 15th at Las Vegas in March, and he’s led only two laps, in the season-opening Daytona 500. He’s got six finishes of 24th or worse, and an engine failure last weekend at Talladega led to a 40th-place finish. The worst part? The Furniture Row Racing team can’t pinpoint the problem and knows things are off because he’s struggling in qualifying, which was one of his strengths last year. Smith qualified inside the top-five eight times last season. “It’s been a situation where we have just gotten behind ... hit this wall a little bit right now,” Smith said. “We’ve got to keep

working on our stuff and making it better, coming up with new ideas.” The team has a technical relationship with fellow Chevrolet team Richard Childress Racing, but RCR is still looking to hit its stride this season. “A lot of times when we are struggling, we can lean on them and help make our stuff better,” Smith said. “Unfortunately, right now they are probably not quite as quick as they would like to be either at the moment. So, it’s tougher for us to lean on them like we normally would. Even our qualifying has been off this year. “Last year it seemed like we could qualify, even if we were having a bad weekend we could at least lay a lap down. We’ve got

a few different areas that we are focused on working on and overall we need more speed.” Smith was in a similar position last year, when he came into Darlington ranked 29th. The Darlington victory was maybe enough to get him moving, but he tallied just three top-10s the rest of the way. He’s still searching for more, though. “I definitely thought after we got that first win we’d be more consistent with top-10s and topfives, and we have not been more consistent,” he said. “It’s hard to say you’re surprised you haven’t won again because the series is so tough. I may be a little bit disappointed because I thought that victory would propel us a little bit more than it did.”

Biffle ruins Hendrick front row

DARLINGTON, S.C. — Sprint Cup points leader Greg Biffle feels he’s running like he used to at Darlington Raceway and that’s bad news for the rest of the Southern 500 field. Biffle earned his second pole at Darlington and the 11th of his career with a fast lap of 180.257 mph Friday to squeeze past the Hendrick Motorsports duo of Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne. “I said it three times, I’m having such a great time driving these race cars,” Biffle said. “This is what a racecar driver looks forward to in showing up every weekend and having a fast car to drive. They’re sure making my life easy.”

Ryan Newman starts fourth followed by Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin, a winner at Pheonix and Kansas this year. Regan Smith, the 2011 Darlington winner, was ninth and Jeff Burton qualifying 10th. Danica Patrick will start 38th for her second-ever Sprint Cup event. She was guaranteed a spot in Saturday night’s race because of the No. 10 car’s points standing. For a long time Friday, it looked like an all-Hendrick front row after Kahne had a hot lap of 179.556 mph and teammate Johnson matched him a short time later. That’s when Biffle took to the track for his pole-winning performance.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Boeheim suit gets tossed By JOHN KEKIS Associated Press Writer

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A judge on Friday threw out a defamation lawsuit brought against Syracuse University and men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim by two men who said the Hall of Fame coach slandered them when he said their accusations of sexual abuse against former associate head coach Bernie Fine were driven by greed. Two former team ball boys, Bobby Davis and Michael Lang, accused Fine of sexually abusing them more than 20 years ago. When the allegations surfaced in November, Boeheim vehemently supported Fine, a friend for more than 40 years and his assistant for 35-plus seasons. Boeheim told ESPN that Davis was telling “a bunch of a thousand lies” and called him an opportunist looking to cash in on the publicity surrounding the Penn State sex-abuse scandal. Supreme Court Justice Brian DeJoseph, a graduate of Syracuse University and its law school, ruled Friday that Boeheim’s comments were not statements of fact but were opinions that are protected from defamation suits. “The content, tone and purpose of Boeheim’s statements would clearly signal to the reasonable reader that what was being said in the articles published in the days after the initial ESPN report were likely to be an opinion — a biased, passionate, and

defensive point of view of a basketball coach — rather than objective fact,” DeJoseph wrote in his 30page decision. Boeheim “It is clear to this court that Boeheim provided a factual basis for his opinion. He provided a ... reasonably accurate version of those facts.” Davis, 40, and Lang, 45, hired high-profile attorney Gloria Allred and filed the lawsuit in late December. Late Friday, Allred vowed to appeal the ruling “When Bobby Davis came forward years ago and complained about sexual abuse he was ignored,” Allred said in an email statement. “When the allegations were made public he was attacked. It is difficult enough for victims of childhood sexual abuse to come forward. This decision sends the message that you can attack the alleged victim and call him a liar with impunity. It makes it even harder for victims to come forward.” A call seeking comment from Davis was not immediately returned. “We are gratified by the court’s decision dismissing this lawsuit,” university spokesman Kevin Quinn said. Boeheim, who was out of town attending meetings in Indianapolis, declined to comment through the university’s sports informa-

Djokovic blue over courts, losing The Associated Press

MADRID — Novak Djokovic joined Rafael Nadal in declaring he won’t play again on the new blue clay court at the Madrid Open after losing to Janko Tipsarevic 7-6 (2), 6-3 Friday in an all-Serb quarterfinal. Tipsarevic won for the second time in five matches against Djokovic, who last lost at this stage in November at the Paris Masters. “I want to forget this week as soon as possible and move on to the real clay courts,” the top-ranked Djokovic said. “Here you can’t predict the ball bounce or movement.They can do whatever they want, but I won’t be here next year if this clay stays.” On the women’s side, Serena Williams eased past Maria Sharapova 6-1, 6-3 to advance to the semifinals. Also making the semis was top-ranked Victoria Azarenka, who rallied past French Open winner Li Na 3-6, 6-3, 6-3. Azarenka agreed with Nadal and Djokovic in their criticism of the court. “You feel unstable sometimes, actually, a lot of times,” she said. “But right now there is no point on talking about it. After the tournament, all the players can get together and

discuss it.” Nadal lost to Fernando Verdasco on Thursday. Afterward, the Spaniard said he wouldn’t Djokovic return to the tournament unless it reverts to red clay. Djokovic described the new surface as slippery. Tipsarevic had to save four break chances to force the first-set tiebreaker that he dominated. The seventh-seeded Tipsarevic broke Djokovic to go ahead in the second set and completed the upset after Djokovic hit two late aces to save three match points. Tipsarevic next plays Roger Federer, who defeated David Ferrer 6-4, 6-4. The blue clay didn’t stop the 16-time Grand Slam champion from deploying his usual array of unreachable shots. He is unbeaten in 13 matches with the sixthranked Spaniard, who didn’t help his cause by serving seven double-faults. Federer struck back-to-back aces to clinch the win, improving his record to 24-3 this year. Argentina’s Juan Martin del Potro used 10 aces to beat Alexandr Dolgopolov of Ukraine 6-3, 6-4 and reach the semifinal with Tomas Ber-

dych. The sixth-seeded Berdych defeated Fernando Verdasco 6-1, 6-2. The Spaniard made 24 unforced errors and showed little of Thursday’s flare in his victory over Nadal. Williams opened strong, hitting six aces and making two early breaks to take the first set. Sharapova broke at love to even the score at 2-2 in the second set, but she quickly squandered her break with a costly sixth double-fault to fall behind for good. Williams sealed her seventh straight win over Sharapova with a slam. “Playing Maria you have to be really ready because she does everything really well,” Williams said. “I felt relaxed out there, and when I play relaxed, I play better.” Williams improved to 11-0 on clay this year. She will face Czech Lucie Hradecka after she upset U.S. Open champion and fifth-seeded Sam Stosur 7-6 (8), 7-6 (6). Azarenka, who has won four titles this season, used her powerful groundstrokes to take a 4-0 lead in the second set before holding off Li’s late charge. The Belarusian will face Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat American Varvara Lepchenko 6-4, 6-4.

Active rig numbers are up

Nissan profit soars

The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. is up nine this week to 1,974. Houston-based oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. reported Friday that 1,372 rigs were exploring for oil and 598 were looking for gas. Four were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago this week, Baker Hughes reported 1,830 rigs. Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Oklahoma gained three rigs; Alaska and California each gained two; and Texas, West Virginia and Wyoming were up one apiece. Louisiana declined by two rigs while Colorado, New Mexico and Pennsylvania were down one each. Arkansas and North Dakota were unchanged. The rig count peaked at 4,530 in 1981.

OKYO — Nissan Motor Co.’s January-March profit more than doubled to $941 million as the Japanese automaker achieved record sales despite production disruptions from last year’s tsunami. Nissan annual global sales reached a record 4.85 million vehicles, showing a remarkably quick recovery from the March 2011 earthquake that ravaged much of northeastern Japan, the Yokohama-based manufacturer said Friday. Nissan, which makes the Leaf electric car, March subcompact and Infiniti luxury model, continues to be bullish — expecting to sell 5.35 million vehicles this fiscal year, up 10 percent for another record. It also raised its forecasts for the fiscal year through March 2013, to a $5 billion profit, up from its earlier forecast for $3.6 billion. President and Chief Executive

The U.S. Postal Service is banning international shipments of electronics with lithium batteries such as smartphones, laptops and iPads, citing the risk of fire. Beginning Wednesday, consumers may no longer make the shipments, including to military and diplomatic post offices. That means friends and family will have to use more expensive private companies such as UPS and FedEx to ship electronics to U.S. troops based abroad. Officials expect that U.S. consumers can resume shipments in most cases after Jan. 1, once the agency develops a new policy “consistent with international standards.” Lithium batteries are believed to have caused at least two fires on cargo planes since 2006.

NEW YORK — The price of oil fell Friday after reports that China’s economy appears to be slowing down. China, the world’s second-largest oil consumer, reported a sharp decline in both investment and industrial production growth in April. A slowdown in China could push oil consumption — and prices — lower this year. Benchmark U.S. crude lost 95 cents to finish at $96.13 in New York. Brent crude, which helps set the price for oil

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – A Houston-based company held a job fair Friday at the Hampton Inn with the goal of hiring 25-30 people to work on a windmill project in Noxen Township. According to Sandra Stewart, sales and marketing director for Turner Bros., the new hires will begin around June 15 and work through September or longer. The job fair ran from noon to 6 p.m. About a dozen people were at the Hampton Inn on Schechter Drive, near the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza, filling out applications and being interviewed by representatives of Turner Bros. Stewart would not disclose the hourly rates for the jobs. According to Stewart, the company is looking to hire crane operators, conventional and hydraulic riggers, wind turbine techs, quality assurance and quality control inspectors, mechanics, forklift operators, tower washers and general laborers. “Our part of the (Noxen) project has not begun,” Stewart said. “We erect the wind turbines.” Stewart said the wind turbine includes the main structure, the blades, rotor and nacelle (where the electricity is generated.) The $220 million Mehoopany Wind Farm project – the largest in the state in terms of energy capacity, according to the American Wind Energy Association – includes 35 turbines for Noxen Township, another 33 for Forkston Township, 18 for Eaton Township and two for Mehoopany Township. When in full operation, the project will generate about 144 megawatts of electricity – enough to power 40,000 homes. Roads are being built in Noxen Township to accommodate the nearly 90 wind turbines that British Petroleum will erect there and in the three nearby townships later this year.

strong in China, Russia and Brazil, but was also looking at even newer markets like Indonesia, Africa and the Middle East. “Doing nothing in my opinion is the biggest risk,” he told reporters. Nissan’s vehicle sales growth in the latest fiscal year at nearly 16 percent outpaced the overall industry growth of 4 percent. Nissan global market share rose 0.6 points to 6.4 percent, it said. The rebound is playing out at other Japanese automakers. Toyota Motor Corp. reported earlier this week quarterly profit more than quadrupled to $1.5 billion, and gave upbeat forecasts for the coming fiscal year, hoping to sell 8.7 million vehicles around the world this business year. Honda Motor Co. reported its January-March profit jumped 61 percent on robust car and motorcycle sales, and forecast record global sales of 4.3 million vehicles for this fiscal year.

Carlos Ghosn said Nissan held up well in recent months amid serious hardships, including a slowdown in Europe, and was gearing up for more growth, banking on solid demand in China and other emerging markets. Ghosn said Nissan plans to be the No. 1 Asian brand in China, Russia and India. “Overall, it is going to be a good year for the industry,” he told reporters, while noting that the soaring yen was a serious worry. A strong yen hurts all Japanese exporters like Nissan by eroding the overseas sales value. For the fiscal year through March, Nissan posted a $4.3 billion profit, up 7 percent on year, on $117 billion in sales, up 7.2 percent. “It is an even more encouraging performance given the headwinds created by natural disasters, an overvalued yen and uncertain global economic conditions,” said Ghosn. Ghosn said Nissan was already

Caution. Intense solar rays this afternoon. Indeed, it’ll feel hot in the sun today but with very low humidity and, having access to shade, this day will turn out to be absolutely gorgeous! With a lazy west wind, both today and tomorrow will be much warmer than recent days. Cloudiness will show up later tonight and on Mother’s Day when a weak front will begin to stall nearby. Rain from a southern storm will approach along the front and move in Sunday night. Another soaking rain is possible Monday. - Tom Clark

eilings are the Rodney Dangerfield of homes. They get no respect. But there are plenty of easy ways to make over this oft-overlooked area, from the quirky charm of Victorian-era, pressed-tin tiles and beadboard to a simple splash of color. “Historically, ceilings were highly decorated, but it seems as houses have become more modern they have been forgotten,” says San Francisco-based interior designer Cecilie Starlin. “Once again, though, ceil-

ings are starting to get the attention they deserve.” Here are some suggestions — from the simple to the complex — to transform your ceilings from drab white squares into the focal point of a room. Ceiling medallion Probably the easiest way to bring the eye upward in a room is with a ceiling medallion, a white or colored decorative disk typically mounted around a lighting fixture. The pieces come in a variety of styles and can be found in any home-improvement store.

Another bonus? Today’s lighter polyurethane models are much simpler to install and easier on the wallet than those from decades past, says Alex Bandon, online editor of Thisoldhouse.com. “I personally like that look in the bedroom,” she says. “It’s a really unusual thing, but it makes a simple bedroom much more romantic and exciting.” Paint If you have tall ceilings or want a cozy feel, extend the wall color onto the ceiling, or

go bold and throw a darker or contrasting color up above to make the area appear smaller. “Color on the ceiling is not forbidden,” Bandon says. It’s “something you can play around with a bit.” Go with a flat paint on ceilings to minimize light reflection and mask imperfections, says Puji Sherer of the ecopaint manufacturer YOLO Colorhouse in Portland, Ore. “Since ceilings are not in danger of greasy fingerprints and the regular wear and tear See CEILINGS, Page 3C

larity shows up in the strangest places. Even an English muffin can send us into wonderment. Yep, one really did speak to me. At the Hotel Mom. Where I, a refugee/ evacuee, checked in for a few days during the September flooding. If I were writing one of those online reviews, I’d give the place five stars. For starters, the service was excellent. (Of course I wasn’t entitled to it, as I wasn’t a paying customer, but you try to stop a mom for whom hospitality is in the DNA.) And the food? Can you go higher than five stars? Simple fare, really, which in itself was revelatory. Spaghetti and meatballs never tasted so exquisite, nor did an afternoon fish fry that somehow appeared on the table about 7 minutes after Madame Hotelier suggested it for lunch. All I could do was marvel. If I’d been the chef, I’d have used one of those recipes that says something like “prep time: 15 minutes; total time: 30 minutes” but had to, for one reason or another, add an hour or so. Two hours later we’d finally be dining. This is not the way it was, or ever is, at The Hotel Mom, where meals, for one thing, seem to magically happen – without recipes at all – perhaps because the motto there is “Simplify.” (It says so on a sign.) That’s pretty much the opposite of how things run at my place, over the river but not through the woods. Let’s just say Mom and I pretty much look at life through the same philosophical lenses, but, practically, we’re on way different wavelengths. Which is why, this Mother’s Day weekend, I feel obligated to exonerate her, to publicly clear her name because, ahem, in so many ways ... My mother did not do this to me. My mother did not train me to amass spices by the hundreds. Besides salt and pepper I think she might regularly turn to Italian seasoning, basil, oregano and bay leaves, the essentials for her sauce, which she did teach me to make but which I, naturally, did not accept as The One until multiple attempts at fancier versions failed. My mother did not train me to rearrange furniture bimonthly or the kitchen every three weeks, so that any and all regular guests get to play a new game of hide-and-seek on each visit. I think her kitchen contents moved only once in 20 years, after a remodel. And my mother certainly did not train me, when hosting, to clean up as you go along, so that by the time the party ends you’ve missed most of it. She’s far too social for that folly. And, yes, simplicity never met a finer friend. Ordinary Saltine crackers when now they come with sea salt? Plain potato chips at a picnic with so many wild flavors on the shelves? Basic tomato paste in the sauce when herbs now come with? Really, Mom? Ah, but I sail against her current, and you know what happens, don’t you? She’s calmer, cooler and far more collected, and her stuff always tastes better. Even the silly English muffin. During my hotel stay, I watched her pull one from a baggie in the freezer and automatically assumed the worst, because, after all, the freezer, where I hardly ever put things unless they’re brand-new and in immediate need. What do I have against it? I really don’t know. Might be a generational thing. A male co-worker once told me, incredulously, “My mother freezes pizza!” So does mine! (And she labels it according to the restaurant from which it came.) Somehow when she reheats it, it actually tastes good, not like the cardboard I get when I do cede to the preservative power of the freezer. Amazing enough, Mom’s from-the-freezer muffin actually still had the nooks and crannies that always seem to elude me even after a short stay in the fridge. But there’s an art to reheating, she has told me, and tried to explain. I prefer just to call it a miracle. Like so many other things she somehow makes happen in this world. Remember WWJD? (What would Jesus Do?) A valid question. But I must admit: These days, the crazier they get, I often substitute an M for the J. Familiarity has begun to breed contentment.

IN BRIEF What’s new The Stem citrus spritzer makes it easy to add a squirt of citrus juice to food. The spritzer inserts right into a lemon, lime or other fruit, so you can spray juice directly from the fruit instead of squeezing. It can be taken apart for cleaning. The gadget was invented by Michigan resident Tim Houle and developed with input from participants in the Quirky online community. The Stem sells for $4.99 plus shipping at www.quirky.com.

to see streaks and film. I called the place where we got the cabinets, and they recommended Guardsman products, which I am going to try now. But I wondered if you had ever heard of or experienced a problem with Murphy. A: Most kitchen cabinets have a hard factory finish, so when you clean the cabinets, you’re really cleaning the finish, not the wood. Oil soap can leave an oily residue. Although some cabinet manufacturers do recommend Murphy Oil Soap, you might have better luck with a product made specifically for cleaning kitchen cabinets. Guardsman’s cleaning products are generally well-regarded. Another cabinet cleaner I’ve heard cabinet retailers recommend is Cabinet & Wood Magic.

place the beads.” Pop the bowl into an oven preheated to 400 degrees. Edley said the original instructions said 200, but she bumped her temperature up so the process would get done faster. As far as cooking time, there is no set time. “Every bowl is different,” Edley said. “Check as often as you can. I checked mine every10 minutes.” Once all the beads appear melted together remove the bowl from the oven and let it cool. Edley said it’s a quick process of only five minutes. Dip the entire bowl into cold water, and the bead bowl should slip right out of the glass one.

founder Paul Tukey and actress and child-welfare advocate Victoria Rowell, is designed to make outdoor play an appealing option to computers and video games. It contains instructions for 40 lawn games that will get kids moving, from old favorites such as Blind Man’s Bluff to less familiar games such as Mexican Kickball and Cherokee Marbles. Keep the book on hand, and you’ll always have an answer when the kids complain that there’s nothing to do. “Tag, Toss & Run” is published by Storey Publishing and sells for $14.95 in paperback.

June 6 NANTICOKE: Padre Pio Prayer Group, after the 6 p.m. Mass at St. Faustina Parish main site, South Hanover Street, Nanticoke.

750008

The congregation of the Oblates of St. Joseph will mark the feast of their founder, St. Joseph Marello, with a Triduum celebration (three-day novena) at their seminary chapel, located on Route 315, Laflin. The celebration will begin on Pentecost Sunday, May 27 and continue until May 29 with Lopez Masses every evening at 7 p.m., followed by devotional prayers and the individual blessing of the first-class relic of the Oblate Dougherty founder. Preaching this year’s Triduum is the Rev. Gustavo Lopez, OSJ, a recently ordained priest of the Oblate California Province and current assistant pastor of the Oblate-staffed parish of St. Joachim’s in Madera, Calif. (Diocese of Fresno). The Triduum serves as a spiritual preparation for the Feast Day celebration on May 30. A solemn Mass is scheduled for 7 p.m. that evening with the Most Rev. John M. Dougherty, retired auxiliary bishop of Scranton, serving as principal celebrant and homilist. Oblate Fathers ministering in the Greater Pittston and Hazleton areas will serve as concelebrants of the Mass. Following the Mass, an outdoor reception on the seminary grounds will be offered to those in attendance, hosted by the members of the Josephite-Marellian Lay Association of the Oblate PA Province.

Happily unmarried woman can’t take her mother’s constant nagging Dear Abby: I am in a relationship with someone I graduated from school with, so we have known each other for a number of years. We are both divorced. Because I’m an only child, my mother has always been protective and controlling. She hasn’t recovered from my divorce, although it happened more than 10 years ago, and constantly finds fault with my current relationship. She argues with me almost weekly that I should get married because it “looks bad for her” that I live with this man, and “in the sight of God this isn’t right.” One minute she doesn’t want me in a relationship, the next she’s telling me I need to be mar-

DEAR ABBY ADVICE ried. I respect her beliefs, but don’t think we should get married just because she wants us to. I was married long enough to realize that a piece of paper doesn’t make it right, so why force the issue? I love my mother, but her nagging is making it extremely difficult not only for me but for my relationship. How do I handle this? — Stressed-Out Only Child Dear Stressed Out: You may be an only child, but you are a child no longer. You are entitled to live your life

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

the way you wish. If you prefer not to formalize your relationship, you should not be pressured into it. The next time your mother starts in, tell her firmly you will not argue the point and change the subject. Dear Abby: I’m a single mother of three kids, ages 10, 8 and 7. Their father and I have been divorced for two years. He moved 300 miles away and sees the kids mainly in the summer and on holidays. He has remarried, and she has children as well. My problem is my kids feel he treats her children better than he treats them. I try hard not to badmouth him, but from what they tell me it’s a one-way street. He has told our kids that he loves them more than I do, and that he wishes he

CRYPTOQUOTE

didn’t have to pay child support. It hurts me to see them hurt. What can I do? We don’t have a good relationship. He refuses to listen to anything I say. I don’t want the kids to hate their father, but unless he changes, they will. They have already asked me if they can talk to the judge to get their visits made fewer and shorter. — Protective Mom in Virginia Dear Protective Mom: You cannot control the behavior of another adult, much as you might wish to. Your children are intelligent and they have already gotten the picture. Unfortunately, they are still too young to be able to convince a judge to shorten their visits or spend time with their dad less often. But as they enter their

early teens they will be. Help them to be patient and ride it out in the meantime, because they have no other option. Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, selfaddressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). With all that you’re learning lately, you can’t very well expect yourself to understand instantly what your next move should be. You’ll need to process an issue, and this will take time. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your instinct to sketch out your thoughts on paper will lead to clarity on a matter that’s been bothering you. Make a list of known factors, and then make one of unknown factors. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your family structure seems to require constant tending. Luckily, maintaining relationships with a steady flow of communication is one of your specialties. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve been driving yourself hard. Soon this rhythm will become comfortable to you. It’s important that you make every effort to ensure that you get the rest you need. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll get a mixed bag of advice and will be slow to act on any of it until you get a gut feeling about how to proceed. In the end, as usual, you’ll only do what you decide you want to do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll enter into a rather stuffy environment. You’ll have a way of loosening up the room. You are apt to share with others, and even those who are terribly shy will open up to you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Money, time and energy will be rather obviously exchanged, but that’s not all. Get tuned into the hidden costs that are difficult to calculate because they will add up over time.

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be deciding what to do about a certain relationship. Build on the belief that you’re better off with this person in your life than you would be without him or her. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not always your own best baby sitter. Enlist the care of others. The influence of someone you admire will keep you accountable to goals that would not be reached otherwise. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Explore your options. There are some conversations that will stretch on for months, and everyone will be better off for not jumping to conclusions. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a big heart, and you’re ready to forgive, no matter how many times you have already. Relationships will be healed. Love and forgiveness will weave together. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll deal with well-meaning and possibly clueless people. You’re just the one for the job since you’re so patient now. And hopefully others will be wise enough to heed your low-key guidance. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 12). You have lofty goals and an abiding faith to match: Everything is doable. In June, you’ll be exceptionally lucky in love. People treat you the way you’d prefer without prompting from you. You’ll make the most of connections in July and will see lifestyle improvements in August. In November, you will compete and win. Gemini and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 2, 38, 14 and 18.
