End of line for rail station aid? Drill regs Official doesn’t want to spend $2M on Market Street structure and urges sale. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County Manager Robert Lawton wants to cancel a $2 million county allocation for the Market Street train station

renovation and urges the county redevelopment authority to sell the historic downtown WilkesBarre property. Lawton delivered the message during Tuesday’s authority meeting in West Pittston, saying the $2 million would come from a community development loan fund primarily intended to create jobs. The renovation would create

space to relocate several county offices but not increase jobs, he said. Lawton said he would have a “difficult time” recommending loan fund spending on a project that won’t create jobs. Lawton also said the allocation would reduce the loan fund’s cash balance to about $9 million, and he’s trying to keep the money in reserve for future economic-development projects.

Selling the property also might be in the “county’s best interest” because the property would return to the tax rolls, he said. Unlike the Hotel Sterling property a few blocks away, the train station is structurally sound, Lawton said. It’s also in an “appealing” location at the corner of

ALBANY, N.Y. — A study released Tuesday by the University at Buffalo’s new shale gas institute concludes that state oversight of gas drilling has been effective at reducing environmental problems in Pennsylvania and will prevent major problems in New York if the state allows drilling to begin. Environmentalists, meanwhile, criticized the study as superficial and overly simplistic.

Report: State control of liquor biz safer

Think tank study finds control means fewer alcohol-related traffic deaths; results conflict with economists’ study. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

When Lou Barletta, Tom Marino and 85 fellow Republicans were elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010 as part of a nationwide anti-incumbency movement, the tea party took credit for spearheading the uprising and believed the new class of legislators would head to

Washington and reel in spending and adhere to tea party principles. More than a year later, the conservative organization Club For Growth, a politically conservative organization that promotes a high-growth economy through economic freedom and limited government, delved into the freshmen class’ voting record on economic issues to see if members have acted to change Washington. “Tom Marino and Lou Barletta went to Washington promising to cut spending and limit government, but they’ve repeatedly voted to keep spending like the big-government Re-

The university-funded report examined almost 3,000 violations from nearly 4,000 gas wells in Pennsylvania since 2008. It found that 62 percent of the violations were administrative and 38 percent were environmental. The environmental violations stemmed from 845 events — 25 of them classified as “major,” defined as site restoration failures, serious contamination of water supplies, major land spills, blowouts, and venting and gas migration. The authors found that even as the overall number of violations increased as more wells were drilled, the percentage of environmental violations compared to the number of wells drilled fell from 58.2 percent in 2008 to 30.5 percent in 2010. “The data in this study demonstrates that the odds of non-major environmental events, and the much smaller odds of major environmental events, are being reduced even further by enhanced regulation and improved industry practice,” lead author Timothy Considine said in a conference call with reporters. The report says that in 2008, 170 shale gas wells were drilled in Pennsylvania and there were 99 environmental violations, meaning 58 percent of all wells drilled incurred some violation. In the first eight months of 2011, they say 1,248 wells were drilled and there were 331 recorded environmental violations, meaning 26.5 percent of wells had violations. They cite this as evidence of improved operations and regulation. However, a main argument by opposition groups is that the cumulative impact of more and more wells being drilled must be considered. From that perspective, the study confirms that as more wells are drilled, the number of environmental incidents increases — in fact, the overall number tripled from 2008 to 2011, even though the number per well went down. “Hundreds of violations per year are not acceptable when it comes to protecting clean air and clean water for people who are forced to live with heavy industrial operations in their backyards,” said Kate Sinding of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Disabled in Pa. face loss of aid Program around since 1939 faces elimination from state budget. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG— A decadesold program that provides about $200 a month for tens of thousands of disabled adults who can’t work is on the chopping block even as improving tax collections give state lawmakers the freedom to reverse some of Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed cuts in spending for things like universities, the race horse industry and the Legislature itself. Corbett, a Republican who ran on a no-new-taxes pledge, advocated doing away with Democrats tried in a floor amend- the $150 million ment to restore General Asit, but it was sistance rejected, 29-18 — cash benefit in a $27.1 with two Demobillion budcrats and every get plan he Republican opreleased in February. It posing it. called for a series of cutbacks he blamed largely on the rising cost of pensions and health care for the poor. Then senators voted 39-8 last week for an alternative, $27.7 billion budget that also would eliminate the cash benefit while adding hundreds of millions of dollars to the subsidies that Corbett proposed for universities, public schools, county-run social services, the race horse industry, medical research, retailers that collect sales taxes and hospitals and nursing homes that care for the poor. Senators also plugged in $12 million to erase cuts in the Legislature’s accounts that Corbett proposed. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, suggested that the House — which like the Senate is controlled by Republicans — was unlikely to change the elimination of the General Assistance cash benefit when it considers the Senate’s plan. “I think that our colleagues have made an important policy statement and many of us feel that ... they’re headed in the right direction,” Turzai said. “There’s aspects to the program that are too discretionary and they need (to be) reformed at a minimum.” Asked why the state couldn’t keep the program while improving it, Turzai responded: “I think there’s just been a history of abuse that’s been shown there, and it needs further reform and further reduction.” Turzai cited audits by the state’s independent fiscal watchdog, Auditor General Jack Wagner, a Democrat. But Wagner responded that he never audited the General Assistance cash benefit program and that his audits of Department of Public Welfare programs never recommended eliminating benefits. “In all our audits, we never had a recommendation to cut a person off,” Wagner said. The cash benefit program began in 1939, and was narrowed substantially in the 1990s to include just the disabled. The Corbett administration argues that it has little choice but to eliminate the cash benefit if it is going to rein in the growth of welfare costs. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Jake Corman, R-Centre, said senators had other priorities when they were deciding which of Corbett’s proposed cuts to soften. Democrats tried in a floor amendment to restore it, but it was rejected, 29-18 — with two Democrats and every Republican opposing it.

Pa. funeral home regs are tossed

Federal judge says rules antiquated, discourage competition, drive up costs. By CHRIS MONDICS The Philadelphia Inquirer

A federal district judge sitting in Harrisburg has thrown out decades-old state regulations governing Pennsylvania funeral homes, saying they held down competition while substantially boosting costs. JudgeJohnE.JonesIII,rulingin a 4-year-old lawsuit that a York-area funeral director and others brought against individual members of the Pennsylvania State Board of Funeral Directors, essentially endorsed the plaintiffs’ allegations that regulators walled the funeral business off from competition by restricting the entry of outof-state operators, imposed rules that made it difficult for funeral homes to operate efficiently, and even went so far as to improperly

impose restrictions on funeral home names. “The time for relying on antiquated and ever-changing interpretations of (the law), which constitute nothing more than thinly veiled attempts to maintain the status quo for established funeral directors and their families, or to confuse those honestly seeking to comply with the law, has passed,” Jones said in his opinion. The decision was criticized by the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association, which said Jones had “gutted” laws governing funeral homes. It urged the funeral directors board to appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia. “The best word to sum it up is surprise,” said Kathleen Ryan, general counsel of the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors Association. Jonesthrewoutregulationsthat he said stifled competition, but he gave the funeral directors board 90 days to draw up new regulations that respond to his ruling.

“The time for relying on antiquated and everchanging interpretations of (the law), which constitute nothing more than thinly veiled attempts to maintain the status quo for established funeral directors and their families … has passed.” John E. Jones III Federal district judge

York-based funeral home operator Ernest Heffner and other funeral home operators filed suit, alleging that the funeral directors board had violated the U.S. and state constitutions with a series of anticompetitive regulations. They accused the trade association of advocating policies aimed at protecting their businesses, and charged that they had developed an “incestuous relationship” with regulators. The plaintiffs contended efforts by the funeral board to restrict outof-stateoperatorsfrompurchasing funeralhomesinPennsylvaniavio-

lated the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. They alleged the board’s unannounced inspections also violated their constitutional rights, and Jones agreed in a 159-page opinion issued May 8, finding that there was little reason to believe they had a beneficial impact on funeral homes. Jones also sided with the plaintiffs in finding that regulations restricting out-of-state operators from owning homes in Pennsylvania, except in rare cases where they are able to purchase a license, breached the law and discriminated against out-of-state businesses.

Prison denies O.J. had ‘stroke-like symptoms’ Spokesman, in response to National Enquirer report, says Simpson has had no recent medical incidents. By DIANA MOSKOVITZ McClatchy Newspapers

MIAMI — O.J. Simpson is alive, well and a model inmate. That was the response from the Nevada Department of Corrections after the National Enquirer reported on its website that the former football star turned inmate had suffered “stroke-like symptoms” while in prison. “He’s fine,” corrections spokesman Steve Suwe said Tuesday. “There is no truth to that

article.” In fact, Suwe said, he’s a model inmate. Simpson has had no recent medical incidents and works a job in the gym, where typical duties include sweeping floors, mopping and pickSimpson ing up equipment. “He’s a model inmate. He has a job. He goes to work. He does his job and stays out of trouble,” Suwe said, “like we hope everyone does while in here.” Simpson’s prison sentence began in December 2008. It followed a conviction for his part leading a group of armed men into a memorabilia dealer’s guest room at the Palace Station Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Sept. 13, 2007.

Once inside, prosecutors said, Simpson ordered that no one leave the room while his men took dozens of items. Simpson said the items were stolen from him, and he wanted them back. The earliest he could be released from prison, Suwe said, is late 2017. It was a stark contrast to the successful National Football League running back who made people laugh in the “Naked Gun” movies and pitched to them in commercials. Then came the 1994 killing of his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles, charges that Simpson was involved in their deaths and the infamous white Bronco chase. Simpson was found not guilty in the case, although a civil court later ordered him to pay $33.5 million to the relatives of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.

DALLAS TWP. -- Representatives from the state Department of Environmental Protection and Chief Gathering/ PVR Partners fielded questions from residents and the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday regarding a series of recent pipeline drilling mud incidents. The drilling caused water containing bentonite clay to erupt through the ground. DEP and Chief maintain the incidents did not cause any

dents, which occurred May 1 and May 2, are in the wetlands area off of Kunkle-Alderson and Upper Demunds roads. The leaks, referred to as “inadvertent returns” are not uncommon, and can happen when the pressure from the drill pushes mud through up from fractures in the earth’s upper crust, said Marc B. Cooley, DEP environmental group manager for the Scranton District Office. He added that Chief is “addressing the incidents adequately.” “Shouldn’t the municipality have been alerted?” Super-

visor Liz Martin asked Cooley, pointing out a resident told her of the incidents two days after the fact. Cooley said the responsibility of reporting incidents falls on the shoulders of the operator, but he would see what he can do about notifying the township directly in the future. Borough Engineer Tom Doughton said he is familiar with bentonite and that it is commonly used to seal the bottoms of landfills, reservoirs and along house foundations. “Anyone who has had a home well drilled in the last 20 years, you probably had it sealed with bentonite,” he said. “I don’t want people to

A Chief official said he’d look into the request.

Pittston Area faces $1.3 million deficit By JON O’CONNELL Times Leader Correspondent

YATESVILLE -- The Pittston Area School Board on Tuesday night reviewed the preliminary final budget for the 2012-2013 school year and is to spend the next six weeks filling in what ends up being an almost $1.3 million deficit before the final budget is due at the end of June. The board members also read the resignation message of Vice President Ross Latona. Albert Melone, the district’s business manager, said the $42 million in expenditures exceeds expected revenue by about $755,000. The district is haunted further after $500,000 that had been sitting in what Melone called a sinking fund, or an unrestricted account that was to act as a safety net, was used

The Wyoming Valley Levee fee will stay the same this year, the county Flood Protection Authority decided Tuesday. The fee, imposed on 14,200 properties in low-lying, levee-protected areas, ranges from $46.85 to $93.70 for residential properties and $93.70 to $676.44 for commercial, industrial and tax-exempt properties. If everyone pays, the fee will generate

$1.29 million, said authority Executive Director Jim Brozena. The controversial fee was instituted in 2009 when prior county commissioners decided to remove levee flood control-related expenses from the county’s strapped general fund operating budget. The county council has not acted on requests from some citizens to abolish the fee and absorb the expense in the general fund. The authority voted Tuesday to remove about 300 properties from the fee. Brozena said these properties were on the fringes of the 1972 Agnes flood inundation map used as a basis for fee payment. The county’s computerized mapping

department extensively reviewed the map and property boundary lines and determined the properties should be excluded. The property owners will receive refunds for past payments, he said. Brozena told the authority the contracted levee fee collector, the Don Wilkinson Agency, has agreed to refund lien costs paid by property owners who did not receive 2010 levee fee delinquency notices before liens were placed on their homes. Liens were filed on about 1,000 properties for 2010 delinquencies, he said. In other business, Brozena said new flood maps should take effect in six months. The maps, generated by the Fed-

eral Emergency Management Agency, determine which properties are in high-risk flood plains. The owners of properties in these zones must purchase flood insurance if they have outstanding mortgages. County officials have been publicly warning residents who live along the county’s 800 miles of waterways that the boundary lines of the flood plain will change when FEMA implements the revised maps. Municipal officials also were alerted and provided with copies of the new maps. Roughly 10,300 properties will be added to the flood plain in the county while roughly 8,800 will be removed, according to estimates compiled by the county.

Ex-Redeemer coach indicted

A federal grand jury has indicted a suspended Holy Redeemer High School football coach accused of producing child pornography. Federal agents arrested Joseph Ostrowski last week. The U.S. Attorney’s Office presented the case to a grand jury, which issued a two-count indictment accusing him of inducing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct with the intent of transmitting the image and of extorting a person under the threat of injuring their reputation. The indictment does not identify the alleged victims or provide any additional information. Ostrowski, 28, was taken into custody last week after authorities filed a criminal complaint. He was scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing next week, but the issuance of the indictment means that hearing will be canceled. He waived his right to a bail hearing last week and remains incarcerated.

WILKES-BARRE – After nearly a year of construction, the Wilkes-Barre Family YMCA is celebrating with an open house and thank-you gifts to the public today. Following a ribbon cutting today at 10 a.m., the Y will offer free fitness classes all day and the doors will be open to the public at no cost until 4 p.m. Also, tours, raffles and refreshments will be offered. Today is also the final day to take advantage of the Founder’s Day Special: waiver of

beds are leased individually to students. So far, 20 of the 59 beds have been leased, Davis said. “We’re very excited to show off the features of our new building,” Davis said. Anyone who can’t make today’s open house because of a school or work conflict can call Davis at the Y to set up their own personal “open house” experience at a more convenient time. Davis noted that the Y is also offering a three-month summer membership special.

W-B ready to seek bidders for parking lease deal Parking Authority to get consultant’s input today on request for proposals. By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The city Parking Authority will learn if $20 million up front is a reasonable expectation to lease the city’s parking assets. Desman Associates, a parking consulting firm based in Chicago, was retained by the authority board last month to evaluate the city’s parking financials and help prepare the Request for Qualifications. The RFQ should be ready to be sent out to prospective bidders to gauge what interest there is in leasing the city’s 2,113 garage spaces, 160 surface lot spaces and 800 parking meters. “Whatever that number is -- $20 million or less or more – the RFQ should be issued,” said Murray Ufberg, parking authority solicitor. “A lot of work went into it. Once we know what the level of interest is in leasing, we will be able to determine if we should move forward.” Tom Torbik, the authority’s executive director, said he met with representa-

tives of Desman Associates on Monday when they came to town to assess the parking garages, lots and meters. He said he expects to talk with Desman again today to get their input for the RFQ – specifically the upfront payment they recommend.

“The RFQ will give us a number to shoot for,” he said. Torbik said upfront payments will be asked for a 30-year lease and for a 50year lease. See PARKING, Page 9A

KINGSTON – The Luzerne County Transportation Authority will be bringing bus service to Shickshinny, and Laflin and adding runs to the Walmart in Wilkes-Barre Township. “Ridership is up, so we’re going to be adding four trips to Walmart. And our No. 17 run to Avoca, we’re going to stop at the Laflin Borough Building four times a day because we got a request for that,” LCTA Operations Director Robb Henderson said in his report to the authority board at a regular meeting on Tuesday. “And we’re going to try three days a week to Shickshinny – Monday, Wednesday and Friday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and see how that works out,” Henderson said. Henderson said he expects the additional runs, which begin June 11, will increase the authority’s daily revenue miles, which could boost federal and state funding. “And it’s good for the community. Shickshinny really doesn’t have anything; they’re just begging for a bus down there, so we’ll see if they follow through on what they said,” Henderson said. The run will go from Glen Lyon, through Mocanaqua and stop at Shickshinny Apartments at 9:15 a.m. before heading to the Intermodal Transit Center in Wilkes-Barre, Walmart in WilkesBarre Township, the Wyoming Valley Mall and Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. An afternoon run will reverse the trip. “They seem to be the places those people down there want to go, so we’re going to try it for a few months and see what happens,” Henderson said. Henderson also said LCTA will stop sending buses to Mountain Top to pick up Hazleton Public Transit riders headed to the Mohegan Sun casino and Wyoming Valley Mall as of June 1. Executive Director Stanley Strelish said the authority notified Hazleton officials that “it’s probably better for them just to continue right through instead of us meeting them. The consolidation talks are still in progress, so we felt it would be a good idea. … They also can expand, if they wish, to go into our intermodal, but we’re just in initial talks with Hazleton on that.” Strelish said that if Hazleton officials have an issue, LCTA will continue to meet HPT buses in Mountain Top. “But I don’t think there’ll be an issue,” he said. Strelish also read a letter from the Salvation Army/Kirby Health Center Family House commending employees Jill Williams and Noreen Kroll, who answer BUS-LINE calls, for their “kind and helpful” demeanor and assistance. He called them the authority’s “unsung heroes.”

Computer ‘Leap’ for students W-B Area makes

decision on vaccines

New donated technology’s offerings oriented toward reading and writing.

By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

HAZLETON – Ezequiel Martinez sat quietly in school and washed the dog, splashing water on the brown pooch, soaping it up and rinsing it off. Neither teacher nor kindergarten classmates minded the mess, though; pup, water and soap were all on a “LeapPad Explorer,” a pint-sized pad computer full of educational programs purchased through private contributions. Ezequiel, by the way, has a real dog at home but doesn’t wash the pet because “he gets wet.” Heights Terrace Elementary kindergarten students have access to the LeapPads thanks to the nonprofit website DonorsChoose.org. Public school teachers go online and describe a project, and donors can chose which project to support. “There are eight or nine projects in the district,” said former Hazleton Area School District teacher and principal Al Papada. While DonorsChoose has been around since 2000, it has gained local popularity in the last three years, he added.

From left, Javier Figueroa, Wendell Dippiton, Jimmy DeAndrea, Dominick Generosa and Angel Sanes learn to use a LeapPad Explorer interactive tablet Tuesday morning at Heights Terrace Elementary School in Hazleton.

One reason for that is Papada’s penchant for touting the website whenever he can while doing his current work as an agent for Horace Mann, an insurance company that focuses on educators. Papada said he has been surprised at how quickly donations add up; on more than one occasion, he has contributed $100 to a project and seen four or five other people match the donation. Horace Mann also supports the site, to the tune of $1.3 million nationally so far, Papada added.

Teacher Anne Franzosa said the process was quick and easy, and she is looking to expand the use of the LeapPads by getting more math apps. The offerings that came with the pads are oriented toward reading and writing, including the dog-washing game, a dinosaur book that the computer pronounces while students look at the words (complete with dinosaur roars and other sound effects), and a letter-tracing app that lets children learn how to

print letters by pressing a stylus to screen and connecting dots contained in a fat version of the letter. “It doesn’t work if you go outside the lines,” Javier Figueroa bubbled as Ezequiel traced an “E.” Right now, the new LeapPads are used primarily as extra study and reward for students who do well in regular work, but there’s endless potential, including letting the kids record video … though Franzosa warned there will be no video of her singing. “You don’t want to see me singing,” she laughed. No problem. The kids seemed quite happy with the pad’s dinosaur roar.

ceived newly mandated vaccinations will be allowed to attend classes for the remainder of this school year, Superintendent Jeff Namey said Tuesday. But students will be excluded from school “without question if they don’t have the vaccinations by the beginning of next school year,” Namey added. Wilkes-Barre Area has nearly 300 students who still have not received vaccines required by new state regulations. Those regulations were announced last August and were to be implemented the start of this month, but that deadline was extended for two weeks, expiring for most districts Monday or Tuesday, depending on when they began school. Namey said the district will send certified letters to the families where children still were not vaccinated, but conceded some parents won’t bother picking the letters up, much less opening them. The move will document

While the state mandated the vaccines, it has pushed the decision on how to handle non-compliance onto school districts. Local decisions have been mixed. Some districts began excluding students from school immediately after their deadlines, others decided to wait until next fall to enforce the rules.

Plan’s aim to fight Alzheimer’s

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration declared Alzheimer’s one of the country’s biggest health challenges on Tuesday, adopting a national strategy that sets the clock ticking toward better treatments by 2025 — along with help for suffering families today. “What we know is a lot more needs to be done and it needs to be done right now, because people with Alzheimer’s disease and their loved ones and caregivers need help right now,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in announcing the first National Alzheimer’s Plan. Among the first steps: A new website

Sebelius

— www.alzheimers.gov — that Sebelius called a one-stop shop for families who need easy-to-understand information about dementia and to learn where to get help in their own communi-

ties. This summer, doctors and other health providers can start getting some free training on how to spot the early signs of Alzheimer’s and the best ways to care for those patients. And scientists are rolling up their sleeves, National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins told a meeting of the world’s top Alzheimer’s scientists — gathered to decide the top priorities to help meet that ambitious goal of better treatments, perhaps even ways to stall the disease, by 2025. “We are at an exceptional moment,”

with more important new discoveries about Alzheimer’s in just the last few months than in recent years, Collins said. The NIH will spend an extra $50 million on Alzheimer’s research this year, and among the new studies of possible therapies is a nasal spray that sends insulin straight to the brain. It might sound strange, but research has linked diabetes and Alzheimer’s, and Collins said pilot testing suggested the insulin spray improved brain function. Already, 5.4 million Americans have Alzheimer’s or related dementias. Barring a research breakthrough, those numbers will jump by 2050, when up to16 million Americans are projected to have Alzheimer’s. It’s the sixth-leading killer, and there is no cure. Treatments only temporarily ease some symptoms. Beyond the suffering, it’s a budgetbusting disease for Medicare, Medicaid and families. Caring for people with dementia will cost the U.S. $200 billion this

year alone, and $1 trillion by 2050, the Alzheimer’s Association estimates. Even that staggering figure doesn’t fully reflect the toll. Sufferers lose the ability to do the simplest activities of daily life and can survive that way for a decade or more. Family members provide most of the care, unpaid, and too often their own health crumbles under the stress. “My wife goes away a little bit every day,” Charles Zimmerman of Gettysburg, Pa., said in a video included on the government website to help other families learn what they’ll be facing. “Today is the best she’s ever going to be.” The National Alzheimer’s Plan, required by Congress, takes a two-pronged approach: focusing on future treatments plus help for families suffering today. Beyond the initial steps, it lays out a variety of ways that federal and state government plus private and nonprofit organizations need to collaborate to battle Alzheimer’s.

front assault Tuesday against the strongholds of al-Qaida militants in the south, with U.S. troops for the first time helping direct the offensive from a nearby desert air base-turned-command center. Yemeni military officials said dozens of U.S. troops were operating from al-Annad air base, about 40 miles from the main battle zones, coordinating assaults and airstrikes and providing information to Yemeni forces. This month it emerged that the CIA thwarted a plot to down a U.S.-bound airliner using a new, sophisticated explosive to be hidden in the bombers underwear with Yemeni help. But the planned bomber was actually a double agent who turned the device over to the U.S. government.

AG seeks Sandusky info Pennsylvania prosecutors on Tuesday asked for advance notice if Jerry Sandusky’s defense lawyers plan to call any expert witnesses during his upcoming child sex-abuse trial in June. The motion said the attorney general’s office wants to be able to review before trial any reports or other evidence the defense might present from expert witnesses. They want to see “any results or reports of physical or mental examinations, or results or reports of any scientific tests or experiments made in connection with this case.” Sandusky, 68, a former assistant football coach at Penn State, is due to be tried next month on 52 criminal counts for alleged abuse of 10 boys over 15 years. He has repeatedly denied the allegations. PORT ST. JOHN, FLA.

Tonya Thomas, 30, fatally shot her four children, who ranged in age from 12 to 17, said Lt. Tod Goodyear, a spokesman for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office. Three of the children had gone to a neighbor’s front door before dawn to say their mother had shot them. The mother then called the children back to the house and killed them, Goodyear said. The neighbor then heard gunshots and called 911. Another neighbor told deputies that Thomas sent a text message in the middle of the night saying she wanted to be cremated with her children.

A 16-year-old girl from New Canaan, Conn., who police say was driving the SUV, turned herself in May 12 after learning there was a warrant out for her arrest on charges of negligent homicide with a motor vehicle. Police say they found evidence the teen was using the keypad on her cellphone before hitting Dorsey.

HARTFORD, Conn. — A teenage driver in Connecticut is under arrest after authorities said the distraction of a handheld cellphone caused her to fatally hit a 44-year-old jogger. The victim’s father blames his death on “stupidity.” The death of Kenneth Dorsey in Norwalk and the subsequent criminal charges against the 16-year-old driver come as other states are considering measures to force both teenagers and adults to disconnect from cellphones and other electronic devices before getting behind the wheel. Dorsey, an avid runner, was on a morning jog and training for a marathon on March 24 when he was fatally struck by

charged Saturday with negligent homicide with a motor vehicle, using a handheld telephone under age 18 while driving and failure to drive in the proper lane. Police declined to say exactly what she was doing on the phone, only that they found evidence she was using the keypad before Kenneth Dorsey was hit. “There’s no reason to use a phone while you’re driving a car,” Leo Dorsey said Tuesday. “There is nothing out there that important. I totally, totally have to believe that these phones can be made to shut off if they’re moving. I’m pushing for phones that don’t work when they’re moving.” A defense lawyer has not yet been assigned to the juvenile court case, according to court records. The accident is prompting new calls

for people to put down their phones and other electronic devices while driving, from police officials to victims’ relatives to readers posting online responses to the Norwalk accident story. The girl accused of killing Kenneth Dorsey could face up to six months in jail on the negligent homicide charge if convicted, Norwalk Police Chief Harry Rilling said. The charge of using a cellphone under age 18 while driving carries a 30day license suspension and $175 in license restoration and court fees for a first offense, according to the state DMV. Leo Dorsey said he hopes the girl receives a severe penalty, but there’s something more important. “I want her not to forget what she did through stupidity,” he said. “I just don’t want to see Kenneth forgotten. I hope that her punishment is that she doesn’t forget. And maybe she passes that on to her friends and down the road to her own family.”

Iran hangs alleged Israeli agent in shadow war By ALI AKBAR DAREINI and BRIAN MURPHY Associated Press

TEHRAN, Iran — At the gallows, the condemned prisoner Tuesday repeated the allegations Iran lodged against him: That he was trained by Israel’s spy agency to carry out one of the first attacks on Iranian scientists in a suspected shadow war against Tehran’s nuclear ambitions. “The end of the road has nothing except repentance — and rope,” Majid Jamali Fashi was quoted as saying just moments before he was hanged for the January 2010 bombing that killed Tehran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi. The execution inside Tehran’s Evin

Prison — and Iran’s state-sanctioned coverage of his purported last words — are connected to a world of alleged covert operations and assassination plots that have stretched from the Black Sea to Bangkok, and yet have somehow not disrupted efforts at nuclear talks between Iran and world powers, which are expected to resume next week in Baghdad. At least four other members of Iran’s scientific community have been killed since the explosion of a bomb-rigged motorcycle that targeted Mohammadi. Iran has blamed Israel’s Mossad spy agency as well as the CIA and Britain’s MI-6. Washington and London have previously denied any roles. In Jerusalem, Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said Tuesday

the slayings “are not connected to us in any way.” But Israel and others haves pointed the finger at Iran for alleged reprisal missions, including a February bombing in New Delhi that wounded an Israeli diplomat’s wife and the discovery of a cache of explosives in Bangkok that Thai officials claim was linked a plot to target Israeli diplomats. In Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku, security officials in March announced the arrest of 22 suspects allegedly hired by Iran for terrorist attacks against the U.S. and Israeli embassies and other Western-linked sites. The intrigue, however, has remained on the margins as the U.S. and allies try to press ahead with negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

BERLIN — German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande agreed Tuesday to spend the coming weeks discussing proposals for generating economic growth in Europe, a first step to bridging their differences over how to tackle the eurozone debt criHollande sis. Hollande, a Socialist who took office Tuesday, has criticized Merkel’s austerity-led approach to the continent’s financial troubles and called for more policies geared toward boosting economic growth as opposed to just cutting government spending. During his election campaign, he called for the European budget-discipline pact pushed by Merkel to be renegotiated. Meanwhile, Greece headed into a new month of political uncertainty after power-sharing talks collapsed Tuesday, triggering new elections that could determine whether the country retains its tenuous position in Europe’s currency. Nine days of fruitless talks to build a coalition government led to increasing doubts that Greece can make enough reforms to prevent the world’s largest currency union from fracturing. Hollande said after his first meeting with Merkel that “everything must be put on the table by everyone” in Europe that could promote growth. Asked if he is still demanding a renegotiation of the existing fiscal compact, he said he would be able to answer the question “at the end of this work.” An informal meeting of European leaders on May 23 will be followed by a summit at the end of June. “It will be very important that Germany and France present their ideas together at this summit, and we have talked about the preparation,” Merkel said. “I am for budget seriousness,” Hollande said. But, he added, “I am for growth” because that is the only way to reduce debt and cut deficits.

Mitt Romney is adding two more victories to his win column. Nebraska and Oregon Republicans, as expected, have made clear their preference for the GOP nomination by choosing Romney in Tuesday’s presidential primaries. In Nebraska, the vote amounts to a beauty contest. The state’s 32 delegates to the Republican National Convention will be determined at the state convention on July 14. Oregon has 25 presidential delegates up for grabs and most if not all are going to Romney. Romney has all but clinched the nomination, and is well on his way to winning the 1,144 delegates needed to get the party nod.

RAINY DAY WASHOUT

Hearing on changes to flood plain ordinance is scheduled for 7 p.m. June 19.

BILL TARUTIS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

eavy rains Tuesday morning caused this washout of mud and rocks across Oberdorfer Road in Exeter Township. Sunshine brightened the region Tuesday afternoon after a dismal morning with heavy rain that flooded several streets with poor drainage. Main Street near the Pittston Bypass in Jenkins Township, Manor Drive and North Street in Kingston Township and a section of Cope Road in Huntington Township were closed due to flooding. Nearly 2 inches of rain fell within a three-hour period, according to the National Weather Service in Binghamton, N.Y. There were no reports of flooding on creeks and streams in the area. The Susquehanna River in Wilkes-Barre is expected to rise to 13 feet Thursday morning. Natural flood stage is 22 feet and the levee protects most of the valley to around 41 feet.

Council finishes policy on filling county board seats By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

UPCOMING MEETINGS

Luzerne County Council members finalized a policy on board and authority appointments during Tuesday’s work session. The policy encourages future council members to continue the practice of publicly seeking and interviewing applicants for vacant board and authority seats. It also requires boards and authorities to submit information for posting on the county’s website, including meeting times and locations, bylaws, meeting minutes and budgets. Council Vice Chairwoman Linda McClosky Houck, who drafted the policy, said council members should interview all applicants because the appointees are “our eyes and our ears.” Applicants were publicly interviewed Tuesday for a vacant seat on the county transportation authority and five seats on the Northeastern Pennsylvania Hospital and Higher Education Authority. A special work session was scheduled for Monday at 5:30 p.m. to interview more than 25 applicants for two vacant seats on the Luzerne County

The Luzerne County Council will hold a public work session on Monday at 5:30 p.m. in the county’s Emergency Management Agency building, 187 Water St., WilkesBarre, to interview applicants for Luzerne County Community College Board of Trustee seats. Council will hold a regular meeting on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the same location.

Community College Board of Trustees that will be filled in June. Kingston Township resident Tom Dombroski praised the new process, saying the public received no information about the filling of vacant seats when past commissioners handled the appointments. In other business, Councilman Tim McGinley said Friday is the application deadline for the council clerk position created under the new home rule government. As of Tuesday morning, 81 people had applied for the position, he said. Council members must establish a screening process and will start interviewing the end of the month, he said. The position will be filled by July 1.

ose Marie Kochanski, 75, of Edwardsville, died Tuesday, May R 15, 2012, in her home.

Gary Yates, Port St. Lucie, Fla.; daughters, Kayleigh Lutz and husband John, St. Joseph, Mo., who will welcome Kevin’s first grandson shortly; Mikaela Kreidler, Port St. Lucie, Fla.; brother, Tom Kreidler III, Port St. Lucie, Fla.; sisters, Kathy and husband Mike Barlow, Dallas; Betsy and husband Sam Barker, Indiana, Pa.; and Carol and husband Mark Oliver, State College. Kevin’s life was cut way too short after a courageous and brutal battle with colon cancer. In trying to find the positive thing going forward that can come out of his death, I want to shout from the rooftops “SCHEDULE YOUR COLONOSCOPY!” He was younger than the standard recommendation for the procedure at 50, but he ignored signs. This is truly a painless medical procedure that will save your life. If one person puts down the paper and calls their doctor, it will help as we mourn Kevin’s death and strive to celebrate his life.

Thanh Duc Le

Kevin W. Kreidler evin William Kreidler was born 48 years ago on Leap Year Day, special right from the start. He grew up in Shavertown, the fifth child of Tom and Isabel Kreidler. Like so many babies in the early ’60s, he was the “oops baby,” the one whose arrival was not exactly in the plans, but who became a much beloved and cherished addition to our family. He was educated in the Dallas School District and after a brief career in the financial planning field; he pursued his passion for the culinary arts. Working his way through a variety of kitchens, he ultimately became head chef and owner of Chloe & Bernard’s Restaurant in St. Joseph, Mo. Three years ago, Kevin, Wendy and Mikaela relocated from St. Joseph, Mo., to begin a new chapter of their lives in Port St. Lucie, Fla. It has been a joy for Kevin’s parents to spend this time with them. Kevin’s compassion and ability to always see the good in everyone shaped his life. His favorite saying was, “No kidding,” and he used it to share happiness, excitement, anticipation and surprise; but also to gently listen to and share disappointment, sadness and even anger. Kevin is survived by his parents, Thomas and Isabel Kreidler, Port St. Lucie, Fla.; his in-laws, Charles and Carol Phipps, St. Joseph, Mo.; his wife of 18 years, who is truly the love of his life and soul mate, Wendy; sons, Alex Kreidler, Rome, Italy;

Official: 2 consultants suggested $20M Administrative coordinator for Rothschild. According to authority reW-B reveals source of figure cords, consultants have been for parking deal upfront fee. paid approximately $122,000 to By BILL O’BOYLE boboyle@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – At Tuesday’s Parking Authority meeting, the board was asked who determined that $20 million was a reasonable expectation for an upfront payment from bidders interested in leasing the city’s parking assets. According to Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, the figure was recommended by the consultants hired by the Parking Authority -specifically, Fox Rothschild, the Philadelphia law firm, and Goals Consulting, the company owned by former city administrator J.J. Murphy, whose brother, Patrick, is a partner in Fox

get through Phase 1 – preparation of Request for Qualifications. To date, Goals Consulting has submitted time sheets totaling $34,460 plus another $316.78 in expenses for parking and tolls. The parking authority and the city will learn today if another hired consultant – Desman Associates of Chicago – agrees with the $20 million upfront number, or if the expectation should be higher or lower. “The $20 million minimum bid was based on a preliminary analysis and discussion of the value and performance potential of the assets over the life of the lease, which was a part of the preliminary research and meetings with the consultants hired for this project, who also

had discussions with experts in this field about an initial estimate on their marketability,” McLaughlin said. Parking authority Executive Director Tom Torbik said Tuesday that Desman Associates will provide its report today on what number should be in the Request for Qualifications. The RFQs are expected to be sent out next week and depending on the number of interested bidders and what they are willing to pay up front, the authority and the city will then decide whether to proceed to Phase 2 and seek bid proposals to lease the city’s parking garages, surface lots and meters to a private company. The parking authority also discussed who has the ultimate authority to decide whether to lease the parking assets. “The proposed lease of all city

parking assets has been and will remain a joint venture of the Parking Authority and the city of Wilkes-Barre,” McLaughlin said. “As the process progresses through the RFQ stage and into evaluation of bidder qualifications and proposed bids, the city and the authority will vote to approve the best deal for taxpayers if one materializes.” McLaughlin said City Council will vote to approve a final lease agreement when and if one is reached. Representatives of the Parking Authority met with Mayor Tom Leighton and some of his administrative staff Tuesday morning before the authority board meeting at noon. “City officials and Parking Authority members met to discuss the status of this ongoing initiative,” McLaughlin said. “It was a productive discussion.”

“These are all non-binding numbers,” he said. “By getting the RFQs out, we will see what the real numbers are.” Torbik said that if Desman recommends a lower upfront payment than $20 million, the authority would be able to talk to prospective bidders to see what it would take to get a higher upfront payment. Alan Wohlstetter, the attorney from Fox Rothschild who was retained by the authority as special counsel, said the RFQs will be advertised in parking publications and others will be contacted directly because some have already expressed interest in the project.

Man told to pay back $77K Christopher Lee Reddick, 20, of Wilkes-Barre, was charged in several daytime burglaries. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – A city man sentenced Tuesday for his role in several daytime burglaries in the area was ordered by a judge to repay homeowners $77,000 in restitution. Christopher Lee Reddick, 20, of South Welles Street, was sentenced by Luzerne County Judge David Lupas to 14 to 28 months in state prison on burglary and theft related charges for heists in Bear Creek, Dallas, Fairview and Wright townships from May 2009 to September 2010. Arrest records say Reddick conspired with Jerome Sharr, 21, to burglarize six houses. They knocked on doors and forced their way in if no one answered. Sharr, of South Empire Street, Wilkes-Barre, was recently sen-

litigation. Board Member Ed Katarsky said the meeting with Leighton was “just to assure we’re all on the same page.” When asked to explain that, Katarsky said there was some discussion about who will make the final decision on the parking issue – the authority, the mayor or City Council. “We wanted to know what happens if we say no to this,” Katarsky said. “Can council say yes and override us?” Ufberg said the authority has control over what it owns – the parking garages and surface lots – and city controls the Intermodal Center off South Washington Street and the parking meters. “Our goal is to do what’s best for the city,” said Board Member Robert Jabers. Kadluboski, citing a report in Tuesday’s Times Leader, advised the authority to be aware of what

happened in Chicago, where the parking management company billed the city for $14 million to recoup revenue lost when parking meters were out of service due to special events and/or construction. “People are outraged,” said Kadluboski, who also noted that the former mayor of Chicago and several staff members ended up working for the law firm that helped engineer the city’s parking deal. Mark Robbins, a resident of Forty Fort who has been a critic of city government, cautioned the authority about the lease deal. Robbins said the $20 million figure is way overpriced. “If you’re right, then we will receive no responses to the RFQ,” Wohlstetter said. Torbik said specifics about a lease agreement will come up only if the authority decides to

tenced to nine to 19 years in state prison for his role in the burglaries and a drive-by shooting in WilkesBarre in November 2008. State police at Wyoming charged Reddick and Sharr with burglarizing houses on Laurel Run Road on Set. 27, 2010, Forrest Road on Sept. 22, 2010, and Bear Creek Boulevard on Sept. 28, 2010. Wright Township police accused the pair of breaking into a house on Oak Drive on Sept. 28, 2010, and Dallas Township police said they linked Reddick to a burglary on Overbrook Road on Sept. 29, 2010 by fingerprints. Fairview Township police said Reddick and Sharr forced open a door to a house on Johnson Street on May 13, 2009. Large-screen televisions, laptop computers, electronics, jewelry, guns and money were stolen from the houses. Reddick told investigators the stolen items were sold to people on the street, arrest records say. Lupas ordered Reddick to repay victims a total of $77,690. proceed to Phase 2 to seek bid proposals. He said issues such as down time for parking meters and contracts with entities like the downtown movie theater would be negotiated if they are not transferable. Regarding the $20 million figure, Torbik and Ufberg noted that whatever the upfront payment is, $8 million would come off the top to retire remaining indebtedness on the Intermodal and other city garages. The consulting fees paid to Wohlstetter’s firm, Desman and J.J. Murphy’s Goals Consulting would also be reimbursed. Mary Ann King, board member, requested the meetings be changed to the evening, so she can attend without having to take time off of work and for the public to be able to attend. The board agreed to honor her request.

Man charged in incidents sues over bar assault Suspect in 3 bank heists William Gronosky Jr., 29, alleges he was attacked at Hardware Bar in October 2010.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Before investigators alleged William Gronosky Jr. shot at law enforcement officers, robbed an adult nightclub at gunpoint, and tied up a disabled man duringahomeinvasion,heclaimed he was the victim of an assault in a downtown tavern. Gronosky, 29, of West Church Street, Nanticoke, filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court earlier this year alleging he was an “invitee” at the Hardware Bar and Reflex on South Main Street, where he was

attacked on Oct. 7, 2010. Gronosky is seeking $50,000 in the suit and claims the assault was unprovoked and the Gronosky tavern’s owners and employees did nothing to stop it. He alleged he was enjoying himself in a section of the bar called Reflex when he was being “eyed up by another patron who kept walking back and forth and looking at him with a strange look,” according to the lawsuit that was recently amended on May 9. The initial suit was filed Jan. 12. Gronosky said he was struck by glass and was thrown out of the tav-

ern. He said he suffered severe and permanent facial injuries, mental anguish and severe emotional distress and embarrassment, the suit says. It was not immediately known if any charges were filed against the person Gronosky claimed attacked him. In the suit, Gronosky alleges the tavern and its employees failed to call police. Gronosky is facing multiple charges related to a home invasion and robbery of a disabled person on Church Street, Hanover Township, on March 25; the theft of a Ford Focus and firing shots at a WilkesBarre police officer during a pursuit on March 26; and a gunpoint robbery of the Carousel Lounge adult nightclub on Route 11 in Ply-

mouth Township on March 15, according to arrest records. State police allege Gronosky fired two shots at a trooper outside the Plymouth Township strip club on April 13. On Monday, Hanover Township police charged Amanda Shoemaker, 27, and Amber Massey, 24, of Park Avenue, Wilkes-Barre, for their alleged roles in conspiring with Gronosky to rob the disabled man in Hanover Township. The two women had lived with the man and allegedly told Gronosky about items in the Church Street house. Gronosky is also charged with burglarizing a trooper’s house in Laflin in March. He remains jailed at the county prison for lack of $1.3 million bail.

Nescopeck’s emergency call problems persist

Assistance call from officer recently had to be re-routed to Columbia County 911. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NESCOPECK – According to comments at Monday night’s council meeting, Nescopeck police continue to have communication problems with Luzerne County’s 911 center despite the installation of a repeater system at the tower on Shickshinny Mountain. It was stated that an officer, responding to a situation involving

six people in an area behind a Third Street bar on Saturday night, was unable to reach the 911 center on his portable radio when he called for assistance. Instead, it was stated at the meeting, the call had to be rerouted to Columbia County 911 for the officer to get help. Previously, Nescopeck experienced similar problems, which resulted in council meeting with Dave Parsnik of Luzerne County in an attempt to rectify communication problems. Besides this matter, council has scheduled a special session for Thursday at 7:30 p.m. to review what has been reported as a proposed agreement between

council, former police Chief James Desidoro and the Teamsters union. Desidoro was fired in March. The union subsequently filed a grievance on his behalf. Council rejected it at the April meeting. Council met in executive session Monday to review details of the union’s proposal. Council also heard complaints about continuing incidents at the public park and recreation area. Funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency is supposed to be forthcoming for flood damage that occurred in the fall of 2011. Part of this money, in excess of $100,000, is in-

tended for additional surveillance cameras at the park, said Borough Secretary Stacie Kachurka. FEMA postponed remittance earlier this year and, on March 26, told Nescopeck it would be another eight weeks until the funding is released. In conjunction with the flood, council approved a resolution to have Peters Consultants, the borough’s engineer, advertise for bids for the construction of a platform at the sewage treatment plant, which will place the plant’s generator above current flood plain levels. High water disabled the generator in September 2011.

Election board won’t dispute Piazza firing Board finds county manager had power to dismiss election bureau director. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

The Luzerne County Election Board won’t challenge the county manager’s authority to hire and fire the election bureau director, according to an announcement from the board. The control issue came up when county Manager Robert Lawton suspended and later terminated election bureau Director Leonard Piazza last month without input from the board. Both the board and Piazza questioned the manager’s authority. In a statement issued Tuesday, the board said weeks of research and conversations with multiple county and state officials prompted the

Lawton

Piazza

board to conclude a challenge of the manager’s authority would be “counterproductive.” “While the Board of Elections maintains that the timing and manner of the removal of the director of the Bureau of Elections ten days before the April primary without any consultation with this board was ill-advised and put in jeopardy the proper administration of the primary elections, Manager Lawton did have that power under the home rule charter and current state interpretation of the election statutes,” the statement said.

The statement also said the 2 0 1 2 board will sugELECTION gest an addition to the county’s proposed administrative code requiring the manager to seek “meaningful participation” from the board in the hiring and firing of the election director. Board involvement is warranted because it has a “major stake” in the proper functioning of the bureau, which tabulates election results the board must certify to the state, the statement said. The county council is revising the code before the June 22 adoption deadline. Lawton said he appreciates the board’s acknowledgment of the manager’s authority under state law and the home rule charter. “Moving forward toward the appointment of a permanent director, I anticipate so-

liciting the board’s input during the review and interview of candidates,” Lawton said. Lawton said the county designated an interim director with prior election experience – Tom Pizano – before the primaries and maintained “close and frequent” contact with state election officials and the voting machine manufacturer, which sent a representative to provide on-site support. “With these measures, election day preparation and operations proceeded without incident,” Lawton said. He also credited several county departments, including GIS/mapping, information technology, security, buildings and grounds, and solicitors. “The successful conduct of this and every election is not the work of any one person, but a consortium of county staff,” he said.

WILKES-BARRE – A New York man was sentenced Tuesday to at least five years in prison on drug trafficking charges. Luzerne County Judge Fred Pierantoni sentenced Darren Lewis, 33, of Staten Island, to five to 10 years in state prison on charges of possession with intent to deliver cocaine, tampering with evidence and providing false identification to police. Kingston police said they

spotted Lewis acting suspiciously at Wyoming Avenue and Pringle Street on Aug. 26. Lewis was kept under surveillance for nearly an hour pacing in the area and entering a room at the Budget Inn motel on Wyoming Avenue. Police learned Lewis was a fugitive wanted on a parole violation in New York. He was strip searched, resulting in the discovery of packaged bags of cocaine hidden in a body cavity, according to the criminal complaint.

OUR OPINION: BUILDING BRIDGES

Pat on the back, ‘activist’ or not

URING A teenager’s funeral last month, the Rev. Michael Brewster challenged mourners to consider WilkesBarre’s safety and what each of them could do to make the city a better place for children. He spoke about the importance of parenting. He preached about extending “radical” love to fellow residents. The pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church also told the downcast attendees, including plenty of non-church members disillusioned by the violent and senseless death, that he was not an “activist.” Maybe not. But perhaps Brewster’s brand of encouragement is exactly what this community needs today to rally and face its biggest challenges: poverty, crime, an ailing education system, apathy and, yes, a lingering distrust among racial groups. If not Brewster, shouldn’t someone publicly decry the death of a 14-year-old boy by gunshot? Or acknowledge that a community’s future is threatened when melees between students become commonplace in school halls and machete violence erupts on the sidewalk? Or amplify the folly of a school system in which corrupt men enrich themselves by doling out teaching jobs while certain students never learn to read with sufficient skill? Not much will change unless someone dares to say: No

more. This must stop. I can’t fix this alone, but I’m willing to link arms and aspirations with you to Brewster try. Brewster and others – including the Rev. Shawn Walker of the First Baptist Church and Mayor Tom Leighton – recently announced a plan to bring together city residents and others for an extended conversation. The project, called “Building Bridges,” is expected to get under way next week with the first of five town hall-style meetings. The idea: Stop assigning blame and instead involve people from many backgrounds, all bound by a concern for children’s welfare. From there, who knows what good things might follow? The first Building Bridges session is set for 7 p.m. May 24 at the Dodson Elementary School library. Other meeting dates and project details are available on the city’s website, at www.wilkes-barre.pa.us. Brewster might not want to characterize this startup movement as the work of an “activist.” So be it. All that matters now is that well-intentioned people appear ready to focus on giving our youths a better chance to thrive. And to that we say a radical, Amen!

QUOTE OF THE DAY “I knew what I was doing was illegal. I wish to God I could take it back.” Brian McNamee The former strength and conditioning coach testified this week that he injected Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens with steroids when they were with the Toronto Blue Jays in 1998. Clemens is charged with lying to Congress when he testified in 2008 that he had never used steroids or human growth hormone; an earlier attempt to try him ended in a mistrial.

OTHER OPINION: JPMORGAN MESS

Look to the past to regulate banks

HE GREAT HUE and cry in the aftermath of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s revelation that it lost at least $2 billion in a risky trading scheme is for “More regulation!” Actually, the better solution is to return to a very commonsense past regulation – Glass-Steagall. The nation’s largest bank made what it called “sloppy” and “stupid” errors trading “synthetic credits.” Ironically, it claims to have lost the money trying to shield itself from European turmoil. And it rationalizes the loss as being quite absorbable, given the banking behemoth’s size. But $2 billion is not chicken feed. And it’s indicative of a larger problem – recklessness – from a corporation that taxpayers bailed out with $25 billion nearly four years ago. EDITORIAL BOARD

Predictably, the JPMorgan incident has prompted a push for implementation of the so-called Volcker Rule, part of the dubious Dodd-Frank financial reform law, which would limit a bank’s ability to bet on markets with their customers’ money. But the far better solution actually is the more comprehensive – revive the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, which created a necessary wall between risk-averse commercial banking and risk-egging investment banking. Glass-Steagall served this nation quite well until its provisions began to be watered down in the 1960s and then eliminated in 1999. Tearing down the wall precipitated The Great Recession.

Controller gets blamed in overbilling fiasco

ice job, Times Leader, for the investigating that reporter Terrie MorganBesecker did to uncover the $60,000 overbilling in Luzerne County. Our county controller, Walter Griffith, alias “the county watchdog,” really blew this one. What good is a watchdog that can’t see his hand in front of his face? Is he a CPA? Has he gone to and graduated from college or even business school? This is an elected position; taxpayers and voters, take notice. Maybe if Griffith concentrated on his job responsibilities instead of exposing the faults of others, he would have found this overcharge and not paid the bill. Mr. Watchdog, the buck should have stopped with you. Fred Parry Dallas

Writer says Susquehanna suffered years of abuse

egarding the April 29 column by Tom Venesky about the Susquehanna River, a river that has been rated No. 1 of the most endangered rivers in America: You’re right, Mr Venesky; but you’re only 40 years behind the times. Here is a list of those factors that killed the river and the Chesapeake Bay: 1. Acid in the water. 2. Acid rain. 3. The state Department of Agriculture and dairy industries “clear chopping” and using herbicides; this also wiped out our pheasant population. 4. The state Department of Transportation’s tons of salt it spreads on the roads in winter. 5. The U.S. Department of the Interior. 6. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that put in “rip-rap” and turned our river’s tributaries into nothing more than highspeed ditches in the name of “flood control.” A lasting memorial is the section of Bowman’s Creek, known as the “Fly Section,” which was destroyed with backhoes and bulldozers. The striped bass, oysters and blue claw crab are about gone from the Chesapeake, and the bureaucrats sitting in Harrisburg don’t have a clue. Fred F. Murray Shavertown

The truth about Obama: He gets the mission done

’m here to tell you, Times Leader, that the editorial cartoon on May 4 regarding President Obama’s trip to Afghanistan was wrong. Since when is it wrong to tell the people the truth about what you accomplished?

Presidents always are campaigning; at least he got done what he said he would. When President Bush stood on the aircraft carrier’s deck and said “mission accomplished,” was that the truth? No. To me, and every true American, what Obama did should be a campaign factor. The Republicans can’t stand the fact that this president gets things done even without the help of a Republican-controlled Congress. Of course we’d have a lot more if the Republicans would cooperate. Even with all the resistance Obama is up against, he is still bringing this country back – no matter what Fox News tells its followers. Someone once said, “If you tell a lie enough times, soon it will become the truth.” When are people going to stop voting against their best interests? Vote out the blue dogs and tea partiers and put in real people. Dale Eastman Meshoppen

Reader says letter writer uninformed about Obama

fter letter writer Gary Bitler watched in amazement as President Obama “paraded around the country campaigning at college campuses promising freebies to all,” I read the transcripts of the speeches and wondered, in amazement myself, from what planet Mr. Bitler was getting his news. When I saw his statement on Obama’s “free health care bill,” I thought it might be another dimension’s newscast. “The Fox Dimension,” no doubt. Nowhere in Obama’s speeches does he say anything about “free,” although we all hope to get something for free at least once in a lifetime. Obama talks about the burden of huge student loans and how he’d like to get the interest rate down. About how higher education, whether it be a twoor four-year college or trade school, should at least be accessible to all. About how to make it possible for one to graduate and seek their success without going broke to the student loan. Perhaps Mr. Bitler, in his May 8 letter, referred to the health care bill’s provision allowing students to stay covered by their parents’ health care insurance, or its coverage of unemployed or underemployed people. But both of those categories are not free. Now we all pay higher premiums,

DOONESBURY

or payments to hospitals, to cover those people. And they, if by some stroke of luck happen to find a job, will pay, too. The Obama health bill is a big disappointment because it continues to work with private, profit-driven insurance companies. Medicare for all, or at least the public option, would have been better, and cheaper, but hardly free. Mr. Bitler wrote of Obama’s “Buffett Rule” and proposed tax hikes on the rich. I guess if you worship rich people, you might be happy to pay taxes at a higher rate than they do. If you admire Mitt Romney, maybe you can be satisfied paying 35 percent, while he pays 20. Maybe you can swallow your pride and go with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie who says “they should shut up and write a check.” Or, maybe, you can do a little reading with open eyes: Read Buffett’s words, read Stephen King’s words. They are, after all, free.

Patient’s family thanks staff at W-B General

e thank the staff of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for the love, care, compassion and professionalism shown to Vic Gorski and his family while he was a patient there. Our heartfelt thanks go to Dr. Jack Ellis, Dr. Michael Harostock and their “teams” on that fateful day of Feb. 3. You did a truly amazing job of saving Vic’s life. Our thanks continue to the CICU employees for their unbelievable care and professionalism, especially Kim, Terry, Bob, Cindy, Mike, Priscilla, Ann, Sandy, Missy, Bronwyn and Steve. It continues with Bev and Gail, and others whom we do not know by name but who played a role in Vic’s recovery. A thank-you also goes to the team of doctors who were on Vic’s case, including Dr. Young, Dr. Decker, Dr. Marion, Dr. Garg, Dr. Rizzo and Dr. Chang. We also thank Judy in patient services and Jim from the Senior Circle. It is impossible to name everyone, but they deserve to be complimented. Our family had administration, nursing, housekeeping and kitchen staff stopping us in the hallways to ask how Vic (husband, father, son-in-law, grandfather) was doing, which continued until the day we left the hospital. Even a month after leaving, when we returned to the hospital for tests, we still were asked, “How’s Vic?” We also thank our family, friends and neighbors (Mike and Deb especially), for their support, love and generosity, and for the concern we received and continue to receive. We cannot truly express how touched, grateful and blessed we are! Vic Gorski Michele Gorski and Melissa Gorski Dallas

For example, the current administration has made significant changes in how violations are recorded and enforcement actions taken, he said.

The findings by those two found that states with tighter control of the sale and distribution of alcohol, in some instances, have higher rates of alcohol-related fatalities. In testimony before a state Senate Law and Justice Committee in 2011 regarding his research, Davies said, “The results … indicate that state control of alcohol markets does not contribute to improved social outcomes and, disturbingly in the case of DUI fatalities, appears to contribute to reduced social outcomes.” In the pair’s original publish-

An old rail car sits on the Market Street Station train station property in Wilkes-Barre. County Manager Robert Lawton said Tuesday he wants to cancel a $2 million county allocation to help renovate the historic station on the site.

Market Street and Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, he said. “The station still could find a viable use in the private sector,” he told the authority. About $86,000 of the $2 million was spent on structure evaluation and renovation design. Lawton said that expense was worthwhile to help market the site to private developers. Authority Chairman Joe Mazur said board members must hold more meetings to discuss the matter before reaching a decision. Mazur said the authority unsuccessfully tried to market the property to private developers in the past. He blamed the economy and said some who were interested “want it for nothing.” Authority Board member Al Cibello said he supported the plan to relocate the county’s Convention and Visitors Bureau and

“Hundreds of violations per year are not acceptable when it comes to protecting clean air and clean water for people who are forced to live with heavy industrial operations in their backyards.”

Charles T. Adams Senior Center to the station. The public needs “a roadmap” to find the tourism office on Public Square, and parking is scarce at the senior center’s current Market Street location, he said. The county already invested $6.1 million six years ago to purchase and develop the 143-yearold former Central Railroad of New Jersey station, Lawton said. Past county commissioners had voted in October to provide the additional $2 million. The authority paid $5.8 million to buy the property from businessman Thom Greco. The 6-

horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which uses millions of gallons of chemically treated water per well to crack shale and release gas. The first study produced by the new Shale Resources and Society Institute at Buffalo was released on the same day as a broad coalition of health, environmental, and political groups were staging a rally and concert in Albany calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to ban fracking. Industry opponents believe the technology poses an unacceptable risk to health and the environment. All three of the report’s lead au-

thors have ties to the energy industry as well as being academicians, but institute Director John Martin said the study was funded entirely by the University at Buffalo with no industry support. Martin is the founder of a consulting group serving the energy industry, academic institutions and governments and has worked on energy research and policy issues for the state. Considine is an energy economist at the University of Wyoming and has received industry funding for previous studies. The third author, Robert Watson, is professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University’s

oil and gas engineering program with 45 years as an engineer for a natural gas company. Anti-fracking groups have criticized industry-funded studies by Considine touting the economic benefits of shale gas, saying the studies relied on an exaggerated number of jobs created and failed to account for negative economic impacts. The new report says most of the major environmental impacts were “due to operator error, negligence, or a failure to follow proper procedures when drilling.” Wenonah Hauter of Food and Water Watch was worried about the long term. “Research published last month, for example, shows that fracking can enable contaminates to migrate thousands of feet underground, over a long period of time, potentially reaching drinking water aquifers via manmade and naturally occurring fissures

ed policy brief, titled “Government-Run Liquor Stores: The Social Impact of Privatization,” they concluded “Divestiture of Pennsylvania’s state liquor stores would represent a financial windfall to the state, while posing no threat to public safety, as it would not result in the social ills many opponents of privatization fear.” Deb Beck, president of Drug and Alcohol Service Providers of Pennsylvania, said her reaction to the Pulito and Davies report was disbelief. “(I) just could not figure out how that could be true,” Beck said during a conference call Tuesday. The call also included Mark Price, an economist who co-authored the report titled “The Road Less Traveled: States That More Tightly Control the Sale and Distribution of Alcohol Have Lower Alcohol-Related Fatalities,” and Stephen Herzenberg, an economist and executive director of the Keystone Research Center. Not only couldn’t Beck believe it, but neither could Price and Herzenberg.

Closer look at study So the Pulito and Davies study, done in 2009 for the Commonwealth Foundation for Public Policy Alternatives, was given a closer look and Keystone Research Center staffers figured out why the original study had the results that were reported. Jay Ostrich, director of public affairs for the Commonwealth Foundation for Public Policy Alternatives, blasted the new report, calling it “shameful.” He said the Keystone Research Center is “a union-controlled organization bent on protecting the union-backed government monopoly at all costs.” “They added more variables,” Ostrich noted. “There’s a reason they’re stretching it that far. The truth is not showing the outcome they want it to.” Price said there were two variables not included in the Pulito and Davies paper that make the results much different. He said factoring in states’ per capita income and per capita miles traveled “got their results reversed.” Including vehicle miles traveled and per capita income is important because control

states tend to be ones in which people drive farther and have lower incomes. Driving more increases the likelihood of fatal traffic accidents, while lower incomes mean people are less likely to be driving in newer cars with strong safety features, Price contended. The reason the research was re-examined and a new report was issued on the same topic by the Keystone Research Center came down to the way the Pulito and Davies report has “been used to muddy the waters in the debate” over how privatizing the state’s liquor system would impact the state, Herzenberg said. Herzenberg said the report the Keystone Research Center released makes “the water on this issue … pretty clear.” Keystone aims to set the record straight for policymakers and others who have cited the Pulito and Davies research. “What impact will privatization have on the safety of our roads and highways? This is a critical question for policymakers to answer, and they should have the facts,” said Price.

acre complex also includes a strip mall. Two county appraisals in 2006 concluded the property was worth $5.74 million. Lawton told the authority he will continue discussions and didn’t expect an immediate decision on the property. He said he wanted to discuss his plans in person as a courtesy. County Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons said he believes developers would be interested. “If you strip away all the junk and all the cars and you see what’s left, I think you would be surprised to see how beautiful it was,” he said of the historic portion. The authority’s original renovation design featuring an eatery, banquet areas and possible exhibit area was scrapped when no additional government funding or private investors surfaced. The scaled-back version also would create office space for the Penn State Extension and remove non-historical additions. Lawton’s change in plans came up at a county Convention and Visitors Bureau board meeting

Tuesday. Bureau Executive Director Merle Mackin said he and his staff had been looking forward to moving to the Market Street complex. Signs on the redesigned Coal Street would have directed visitors from Interstate 81 to the complex, making the bureau easier to find, he said. Mackin said the current location will suffice, though the ideal would be a location directly off the interstate. Board members Ted Patton and Kelly Novakowski disagreed. Novakowski said Lackawanna County’s visitors’ center along Interstate 81 was almost always empty when she has been there. Board member John Maday said out-of-town business people often inquire about local attractions when they visit the WilkesBarre chamber, also located on Public Square, and they like the short walk to the tourism office. -Times Leader staff writer Steve Mocarsky contributed to this report.

spenders and are no different from many of the veteran Republicans they serve with,” according to the findings released Tuesday. In 2011, freshmen Republicans received an average score of 71 percent on the scorecard. The average veteran received a 69 percent. This means the freshmen Republicans voted, on average, about the same as the Republicans who were already in Congress. Only three of the 87 freshmen Republicans scored a perfect 100 percent. Barletta, R-Hazleton, scored 47 percent. Marino, R-Lycoming Township, scored better at 60 percent, but that was still below the average rating. The score card highlighted 37 specific votes and noted whether the member voted along with the Club For Growth’s position or against it. Barletta voted against the club’s positions 19 times and was absent from one other vote. Marino voted against the position 14 times and was absent for one vote. Marino and Barletta took issue with the score card as a way to measure their ideals and their voting record. “My philosophy is simple; I work to do what is best for the nation and the people I represent while staying true to the (principles) of the Constitution I swore to support and defend,” Marino said. “I am proud of my own record as a conservative because I am a conservative and I do not need any organization or scorecard for validation. I have also been impressed with the way my colleagues in the GOP freshman class have been able to change the old Washington way of thinking.” “I speak with Pennsylvanians involved in Tea Party groups regularly and I am a member of a local Tea Party group myself,” Marino continued. “Tea Party members I know are interested in delivering common sense to Washington and they have little use for a Washington group’s interpretation of the common

sense conservative principles they live by every day.” Barletta spokesman Shawn Kelly issued a statement focusing on Barletta’s voting record, rather than the score card or Club for Growth itself. “Rep. Barletta cut billions in federal overspending in his first 17 months in office, but he balanced those cuts with votes to protect his constituents by supporting programs like community policing efforts, home heating assistance for the elderly, drug intelligence centers, flood insurance and protection, and similar measures,” Kelly said. “Rep. Barletta also voted for a balanced budget amendment, which would make sure the federal government lives within its means, cuts wasteful spending, and cracks down on fraud and abuse.” Those stances don’t hold water with the head of the conservative organization. “The Club for Growth holds members of Congress accountable for their actions, not their rhetoric,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola in a release. “The liberal media likes to pretend that these Republicans have fought for fiscally conservative policies, but the facts don’t support their thesis. Just because the Republicans have a majority does not mean that more pro-growth policies have been passed. For example, a majority of Republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling, against spending cuts, and for wasteful subsidies. Republicans rail against the National Labor Relations Board, but some voted to keep funding it,” Chocola said. “By distributing this report to Club members and the public, we hope to raise awareness about the records of the Republican freshmen and believe their constituents will ask what’s happened since they went to Washington.”

TOLEDO, OHIO – Toledo put up crooked numbers three times on Tuesday at Fifth Third Field to knock off the Scranton/WilkesBarre Yankees 8-2 in a game that consisted of six errors combined between the teams. The Yankees dropped their third straight game and fell back under the .500 mark at 1819. In the bottom of the third, with MUD HENS the Yankees holding a 1-0 lead, Brad Eldred walloped YANKEES a three-run home run to left field off Yankees starter Dellin Betances (2-3) to put the Mud Hens ahead 3-1. SWB closed the deficit to 3-2 in the top of the fifth scoring a run on a run-scoring single by Eduardo Nunez. But again, the Mud Hens answered right back in the bottom of the frame. Quintin Berry singled home a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth to put Toledo up 5-2. The Yankees, who were held without an extra-base hit and stranded seven runners on base,

Big Ten talks about playoff sites As a whole, the conference would prefer that bowl sites host national semifinal games. The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Big Ten officials came out in favor of keeping bowl games as sites for college football’s planned playoff on Tuesday, preferring to keep the Rose Bowl as the conference’s postseason tradition. Conference athletic directors as well as commissioner Jim Delany said Tuesday that many details must be resolved before a national playoff is established. Big Ten presidents and chancellors will determine the conference’s official position early next month. “There was a pretty strong consensus among the ADs that we’d like to have the playoff within the bowl system,” Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne said. “It would be a competitive advantage to have semifinal games at home See SITES, Page 5B

LeBron and Wade miss late, key shots By TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI — This does not sound like a winning formula. Miss 24 of 29 shots in one stretch, on the road. Watch an 11-point second-half lead turn into a deficit. Have your entire team get outscored by two players in the fourth quarter. Somehow, it worked for the Indiana Pacers. And with one part of the Big Three gone, the Miami Heat might have a very big problem. David West scored 16 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and the Pacers took home-court advantage away from Miami by

beating the Heat 78-75 in Game 2 of the teams’ Eastern Conference semifinal series Tuesday night — after LeBron James and Dwyane Wade both came up short on key opportunities in the final minute. “Defense and rebounding,” Indiana coach Frank Vogel said. “We built this team, we started talking about smash-mouth basketball about winning the war in the trenches, and that’s with defense and rebounding. That’s what I grew up watching Eastern Conference basketball being like. We understand offense is going to come and go, especially like a great defensive team like

these guys ... but we’re pretty good too.” The series is tied at 1-1, with Game 3 in Indianapolis on Thursday night. James scored 28 points for Miami and Wade finished with 24, though both failed to convert big chances late. James missed two free throws with 54.3 seconds left and Miami down one, and Wade was short on a layup that would have tied the game with 16 seconds remaining.

WASHINGTON — Amid his year-by-year narrative of his complex relationship with Roger Clemens and performance-enhancing drugs, Brian McNamee weaved in a tale of two wives. He said it was his own wife who nagged him into keeping evidence that has become crucial in the trial of the storied pitcher, and it was a request from Clemens’ wife that led to what McNamee called a “creepy” injection scene in a bathroom. Clemens’ longtime strength coach testified Tuesday for a second day in the perjury trial, pushing his running total to roughly 10 hours on the stand, including the first few moments of what portends to be a grueling cross-examination that will continue today. The broad outline was familiar from McNamee’s previous statements: He said he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and with steroids in 2001, and he gave Debbie Clemens a shot of HGH in 2003. That was in addition to the testimony he gave Monday, when he spoke of a series of steroids injections he said he gave Clemens in 1998, when he was pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays.

CLARKS SUMMIT – Final scores don’t always indicate how close the outcome may be. That was the case for Wyoming Seminary on Tuesday during the first round of the PIAA Class 2A Team Tennis Championships. The Blue Knights defeated Moravian Academy 4-1 at the Birchwood Tennis and Fitness Club to advance to the state’s final eight, but every match was close.

Phils’ equation: Pence HR > E The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Hunter Pence atoned for a ninth-inning error by hitting his second home run of the game, a solo shot in the 10th that lifted the Phillies to a 4-3 victory. Pence connected against former Philadelphia closer Brett Myers (0-1) with one out to give the Phillies their first threegame winning streak of the season. Pence’s bobble in right field while trying to make a throw home allowed Houston to tie it with two outs in the ninth. The NL East champions ended a dubious drought with Pence’s ninth homer of the season. This was the longest stretch of games (37) into a season without a three-game win streak for the Phillies since 1971, when they needed 51 games. Jake Diekman tossed 1 1-3 scoreless innings to win his major league debut.

Brewers beat the New York Mets 8-0 Tuesday night for a split of the two-game series. Greinke (4-1) pitched five-hit ball for seven dominant innings. He pitched eight innings in his start last Wednesday but Milwaukee’s bullpen was beaten by the Reds. Cardinals 7, Cubs 6

ST. LOUIS — Yadier Molina hit an RBI single off second baseman Darwin Barney’s glove with two outs in the ninth inning, helping the Cardinals avoid a sweep and an 0-5 homestand. Matt Holliday and Matt Carpenter homered for St. Louis. Allen Craig had three hits and two RBIs and Tyler Greene snapped an 0-for-17 skid with three hits. The Cubs tied it at 6 in the top half of the ninth on Alfonso Soriano’s first homer of the season. Soriano hit 26 last year.

Marlins 6, Pirates 2

WASHINGTON — Stephen Strasburg left after only four innings Tuesday, matching the second-shortest appearance of his 25-start career, and San Diego’s Will Venable had four hits, while John Baker delivered three hits and three RBIs, leading the Padres to a 6-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Anthony Bass (2-4) — making his 10th start in the majors — tied his longest outing by going eight innings. He allowed five hits and one run — on Bryce Harper’s homer to rightcenter, the 19-year-old outfielder’s second consecutive game with a solo shot.

MIAMI — Josh Johnson allowed two runs over seven innings for his first victory in more than a year, and the Miami Marlins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-2 on Tuesday night. Johnson (1-3) had gone winless in 12 starts since his most recent victory on April 19, 2011. He missed the final 41⁄2 months of last season because of right shoulder inflammation.

Brewers 8, Mets 0

Exciting finishes on tap as 7 teams have division title hopes RACES FOR DIVISION titles are coming right down to the wire in the Wyoming Valley Conference, and the weather is adding to the drama of the season’s final days. Seven teams remain in the hunt for the three divisional titles. The most intriguing race is in the Division I West, where Berwick, Tunkhannock and Wyoming Area all have opportunities to take the title. Tunkhannock (7-5), which lost its last two league games to Wyoming Area and Berwick, has an outside shot at a share of the West crown. The Tigers were the early leaders in the division at 4-1, but stumbled since a difficult pair of games against Hazleton Area and Nanticoke. “We’re better than what we showed,” Tunkhannock coach John Keefe said after his team’s 2-0 loss to the Warriors on May 3.

MLB

Citi Field to host All-Stars in 2013

Official announcement will be made today. Mets last hosted game in 1964.

By DAVID LENNON Newsday

The All-Star Game is finally returning to Queens next season after a 48-year hiatus, only this time to Citi Field, and Major League Baseball will make the official announcement today at a City Hall news conference, according to a person familiar with the situation. The fact that Citi Field would host the 2013 Midsummer Classic was the worst kept secret in baseball as plans had been in the works for nearly two years. New York last had the All-Star Game in 2008, during the farewell season of old Yankee Stadium, and the logistics of pulling off such an event in the city have become even more complex since that time. Commissioner Bud Selig said a month ago during an Associated Press Sports Editors meeting at MLB headquarters that an announcement on the 2013 game at Citi Field would be forthcoming. "I just had a couple of other things I wanted to analyze before I did it," Selig said then. While the All-Star game itself is usually played on the second Tuesday in July — that would be July 9 in 2013 — MLB also schedules the Futures Game, for top prospects, on the preceding Sunday and the Home Run Derby for Monday night. In 2008, MLB had a five-day Fan Fest at the Javits Convention Center on the Manhattan’s West Side and also arranged for a pre-game "Red Carpet" parade that went up Sixth Avenue from Bryant Park to Central Park. The 2013 event should have similar festivities, which likely is what involved more protracted discussions with city officials. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Mets chairman and CEO Fred Wilpon and Selig are scheduled to be at Wednesday’s press conference, which is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. Shea Stadium hosted the 1964 All-Star Game in its first year of existence and never again. The Mets had only player on the National League roster, second baseman Ron Hunt. The Giants’ Juan Marichal was the winning pitcher and the Phillies’ Johnny Callison earned MVP honors for hitting a three-run homer off the Red Sox’s Dick Radatz in the ninth inning.

“We’re not going into this overconfident. They are a good team. But if we come ready to play, we can reach our goal.” Northwest must defeat Hanover Area to have a shot at a playoff for the division, barring upsets in the leaders’ remaining slates. TOURNEY TIME: Wyoming Seminary has opted out of the District 2 Class A tournament, making that a seven-team tournament. Northwest is in line to be the top seed and earn a bye into the semifinals. The Class A and 4A tournaments will now begin Thursday, May 24. The semifinals will be Tuesday, May 29, and the finals will be Thursday, May 31. The brackets were originally set to play Tuesday, May 22, with semifinals May 24. The finals are now a day later than their original May 30 listing, setting them off from the Class 3A and 2A finals. The Class 3A and 2A schedule remains unchanged, with games on Monday, May 21; Wednesday, May 23; Friday, May 25; and Wednesday, May 30.

floor, something that Wade said was noticed afterward. “The game is not lost or won with two free throws,” James said. “But I definitely want to come through for my teammates. So I’ll get an opportunity again. I know I’ll be at the line again in that situation. Just go up and make ‘em.” Miami was without Chris Bosh, who’s sidelined indefinitely — almost certainly the rest of the series, possibly longer if the Heat advance — after he strained a lower abdominal muscle in Game 1. His absence was noted in many ways. Miami shot 35 percent, got outrebounded 50-40 and besides James and Wade, no other Heat player scored more than five points. After Wade’s missed layup that would have tied the game, he remained on the court for a few extra seconds, looking exhausted until James — who said

. BALTIMORE — Four days before the Preakness, I’ll Have Another trainer Doug O’Neill was feeling very skittish about his pending appearance on the grand stage. His nervousness had nothing to do with saddling up the Kentucky Derby winner Saturday with the Triple Crown hanging in the balance. O’Neill didn’t care that it was too wet to send I’ll Have Another out on the track, and he certainly wasn’t uneasy about the Preakness coming down to another duel between his horse and Derby pace-setter Bodemeister. No, the usually laid-back O’Neill was fretting over his assignment Tuesday night at Camden Yards: Throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees. “I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t in my hotel room throwing shampoo bottles at pillows,” he said Tuesday morning. “My biggest thing is not bouncing it. The more people say don’t bounce it, the more likely you will bounce it. I’m just trying to stay focused on throwing it straight and strong and not embarrassing the I’ll Have Another team.” He did a fine job. Standing in front of the mound, O’Neill Wade would make that shot “10 out of 10 times” — pulled him up. “Chris was missed, no doubt about it,” Wade said. “But that’s not the reason we lost this ball game.” The Heat were outscored 28-14 in the third quarter, shooting 3 for 17 in that period. They didn’t score in the final 2:41, and when Mario Chalmers missed a 3pointer that would have tied it on the last play, Miami dropped to 1 for 16 from 3-point range on the night, 1 for 22 in the series. “Welcome to the playoffs, for us,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That’s how we’re viewing it. This series has started. They won on our home court. Now we have to collect ourselves, gather ourselves and get ready for Game 3. That’s all that matters right now.” George Hill had15 points, Danny Granger scored 11 and Paul George added 10 for Indiana, which made only 38 percent of its shots. The Pacers had been 2-9 this season when shooting that poorly, yet got a split in Miami anyway.

peered for an imaginary sign from Orioles infielder Ryan Flaherty, who was poised behind the plate. O’Neill then went into an exaggerated windup and unleashed a high pitch that Flaherty snagged after leaping from his crouch. O’Neill broke a trend by shipping his horse to Pimlico Race Course just two days after the Derby, and he arrived in town two days after that. Since then, he’s been preparing I’ll Have Another for the Preakness and doing all things Baltimore. O’Neill watched the Baltimore Ravens rookies practice last weekend and had lunch with coach John Harbaugh. On Monday night, he tried crabs for the first time. “It’s a lot of work with a mallet. I felt like a carpenter,” O’Neill said. “It was good. We experienced the common food of Baltimore. I think next time I’ll look for the crab cakes. That’s the lazy man’s way of eating crab. Pulling the legs and cracking this and that, it does seem like too much work.” On the topic of work, O’Neill decided I’ll Have Another didn’t have to do any Tuesday on a wet, dreary morning at Pimlico. “With I’ll Have Another being as fit as he is and the fact he’s doing so good, we figured the weather forecast is supposed to be nice starting tomorrow, so why take him out there?” O’Neill said. “Like the rest of us, we all like a day off. We gave the whole barn a day off. He looks fantastic.”

“I feel like we should be 2-0,” George said. James had a chance to give Miami the lead with 1:22 left, but his shot was blocked from behind by George, who was fouled two seconds later. He missed both free throws, keeping the Indiana lead at 76-75. And after Wade missed a jumper, James was fouled by Granger — his sixth — battling for the rebound with 54.3 seconds remaining. James missed both shots, and Indiana held on from there. “Their third leading scorer had five points and that’s what you want to do,” Granger said. “If LeBron James gets 11 assists they are probably going to win. They scored a lot, but we stopped everyone else.” Emotions picked up considerably in the fourth. Wade was steaming when he missed a shot after trying to create contact with Indiana’s Dahntay Jones with 9:53 left. As Wade argued, Jones went the other way and set Leandro Barbosa up for a score that put the Pacers up 6356.

Kings too Quick for Coyotes By JOHN MARSHALL AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jeff Carter scored three goals, Jonathan Quick stopped 24 shots and the Los Angeles Kings matched an NHL record with their seventh straight road playoff victory, beating the Phoenix Coyotes 4-0 Tuesday night to take control of Western Conference finals. Los Angeles dominated the opener and was even better in Game 2, withstanding Phoenix’s initial push and string of penalties for a 2-0 series lead. Dwight King scored his third goal in two games and Quick tied a team record with his third career playoff shutout to give the Kings a dominating lead heading into Game 3 Thursday night in Los Angeles. The Kings have won nine straight road playoff games in two seasons, matching the NHL record set by the New York Islanders from 1982-83. The Islanders won the Stanley Cup both of those years. Quick matched Felix Potvin’s team record for playoff shutouts and Carter finished off his first career playoff hat trick in the third period, securing the Kings’ seventh straight win overall. The Coyotes played better early and fell apart late, becoming frustrated after being unable to contain the more-skilled Kings. Phoenix was hit with a string of penalties starting late in the second period, including a game

come a reluctant but cooperating witness against one of the most successful baseball players of all time. “It destroyed me. It killed me. ... I put myself in a situation where I had to do this,” McNamee said. “I had to tell the truth.” Some details were new and fascinating, especially hearing them spoken out loud in a courtroom with Clemens sitting a few feet away. At one dramatic point, the adversaries were actually both standing, when McNamee rose from the witness stand and identified Clemens with an outstretched left arm: “He’s right there with the brown tie.” Clemens looked straight at McNamee, stone-faced and silent.

It was similar to last week’s performance against Scranton Prep for the District 2 title. “We usually get into a deficit right when we start and we realize that’s a wake-up call and we have to get our feet moving and get our shots consistent,” Botwin said. “It’s just a matter of getting a gameplan and feeling things out. We change all of our shots when we’re going and adjust to their style of play.” When Botwin and Cartwright finished, the singles’ second sets were just getting underway. And they presented a challenge as well. Harry Parkhurst and Cornell dropped their respective second stanzas, 2-6 and 3-6, as the matches went on to decisive third sets. Meanwhile, the No. 1 doubles team of Christopher Kim and

King got it, redirecting a shot by Drew Doughty that beat Mike Smith stick side late in the period. Hard work in the corners by Mike Richards set up Los Angeles’ second goal, by Carter. He muscled the puck past Smith’s glove side as he was going down on a feed from Dustin Penner that made it 2-0 early in the second period. “I’ve been working hard in practice to get my game where I wanted it,” Carter said.

Martin Hanzal also received one for boarding Dustin Brown in the third period and the Coyotes had 13 penalties for 56 minutes — most coming after the final 5 minutes of the second period. The Kings won the opener 4-2 by outplaying and outhustling Phoenix. Knowing Phoenix’s makeup, the Kings figured to get more of a pushback in Game 2. And the Coyotes were much more aggressive early, winning some of the individual battles they lost in Game 1 while creating some decent scoring chancgovernment’s key witness, the only person who will claim firsthand knowledge of Clemens taking performance-enhancing drugs. The former baseball great is accused of lying when he told Congress in 2008 that he had never used steroids or HGH. McNamee again gave vivid and colorful details about injections. He appeared less nervous than he did on Monday, and his voice rose as he spoke of marital problems that he said developed in part because of his relationship with Clemens. The time away from home training Clemens meant McNamee didn’t have time to take his wife and children to water parks and other family outings, he said, and his wife was concerned that her husband would become a fall guy at Clemens’ expense. “You’re going to go down! You’re going to go down! You’re going to go down!” Brian McNa-

mee said his wife, Eileen, told him in the “middle of a battle royale” argument. McNamee said he thought “she might be right,” so he kept the needle, swab and cotton ball from a steroids injection he said took place in Clemens’ New York City apartment in 2001. He said he put the items in a beer can that he salvaged from the recycling bin in Clemens’ kitchen — a means of protecting the used needle from accidently stabbing himself — and brought the can home. It was put in a FedEx box and kept in the house, an effort to “keep the home front nice and smooth,” McNamee said. Years later, McNamee and his wife began divorce proceedings, which are ongoing. In his 2008 congressional deposition, McNamee said he also kept the leftover waste from the injection because he distrusted Clemens “to a degree.” He didn’t

Willie Lu evened its match with a second-set victory. But Kim and Lu fell in the third set and the match was even at 1-1, setting up a frantic finish. George Parkhurst finished off Madhav Valla 6-3 in the second set and that gave Wyoming Seminary a 2-1 advantage. He then sat and watched his brother and Cornell try to help the team to victory. Harry Parkhurst and Cornell, who will also team up for the District 2 Class 2A Doubles Tournament which will be held today and tomorrow at Kirby Park, each dropped their first game of the third set. Cornell didn’t lose any more games after that, while Harry Parkhurst only fell in one more. Harry Parkhurst won his match minutes before Cornell when a return serve from Andrew Ma was outside the line to clinch the team victory. “I didn’t know how the doubles were doing, but I knew how the singles were doing and every

match was close so I was getting pretty nervous that it was going to be a close match,” Harry Parkhurst added. In the Class 3A match at Birchwood, D2 champion Delaware Valley lost to Cedar Crest 5-0.

fields ... But the bowls have been good to us. If you took them out of the playoff, it would pretty much destroy the bowl system.” A four-team Football Bowl Championship system debuts in the 2014 season, replacing a current No.1 vs. No. 2 BCS championship game that has rotated among the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta and Rose Bowl sites. Delany and Big Ten administrators will continue meeting on Wednesday. The sessions at a downtown hotel include conference athletic directors, senior women administrations and faculty representatives. Options for selecting the four teams include taking the top four teams in a poll, the four highestranked conference champions or a combination of both. “I do think there’s room for conference champions — and this is a personal observation — as well as highly-rated non-conference champions and independents,” Delany said. “How that happens is to be determined.” Delany also doesn’t want to water down the rest of the college football season. “The regular season has been and will continue to be the bedrock of college football,” he said. “I know that the postseason is important, I know that the championship game will be important and the model that leads to that game will be important. “I don’t want to adopt a model that discourages playing good opponents or any way belittles the regular season championship process,” he said. mention that reason on the stand Tuesday. McNamee said he kept the evidence a secret — even when he was telling investigators about injections he gave pro baseball players — because he was hoping he could minimize the impact on Clemens.

Semifinals at bowl sites provide that, it’s where fans can gather. With campus sites, it becomes (more) like a regular-season game.” Picking No. 1 vs. No. 2 for a national championship game has been complicated and with a fourteam field controversies could multiply. “Who are the teams?” Hollis said. “Who decides teams? Is there a committee? Are you strictly going by polls? “It’s very easy to determine 1 and 2 (but) 3 and 4 get complicated,” he said. “Polls can do a good job with 1 and 2. I’m not so sure they can do a good job with 3 and

The righthander struck out seven, but also walked six and allowed three runs in the outing. He threw 104 pitches and just 50 of them for strikes as his ERA went up to 5.40 on the season.

It was “beyond inhuman to do that to a kid,” McNamee said. “He had nothing to do with steroids in baseball, my son.” The prosecution is expected to show that the evidence contains Clemens’ DNA. The defense has called the evidence “garbage” and is expected to claim it is tainted.

4.” In April, commissioners from 11 conferences and Notre Dame reached a consensus on a four-team playoff with two national semifinals followed by a championship game. The proposed format would schedule semifinals after Christmas and a national title game around Jan. 1. Commissioners are scheduled to meet in late June and have a new format in place for approval by university presidents by July 4. BCS Executive Director Bill Hancock said last month that if no agreement was reached, an overhauled version of No.1vs. 2 championship game would be used. Osborne, meanwhile, is uncertain whether the field would remain at four. “There will be a push to make it eight or16,” he said. “When I started coaching, the regular season was nine games, and then 10, 11 and 12. Now with conference championship game (and a playoff) you’re dealing with 15 games (and it could go) to 16 or 17.” Mud Hens 8, Yankees 2 Yankees

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Irving selected as Rookie of the Year

Johnson heads 2012 class

VCU moving from CAA to Atlantic-10

By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer

HANK KURZ Jr. AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK — Jimmy Johnson was asked if he ever considered getting back into college coaching and responded by taking out his phone and scrolling through his pictures. “There’s where I live on the ocean,” he said. “What I spend my time doing is ...” And Johnson showed the small crowd gathered around him a photo of himself and a 250-pound blue marlin he caught one morning, fishing by himself off the coast of Florida. “They realize now I’m not coming back,” said Johnson, who went 52-9 and won the 1987 national championship in five years at the University of Miami before leaving to become coach of the Dallas Cowboys. That’s OK, Jimmy. You’ve done enough to be a College Football Hall of Famer. Johnson was part of a class of 17 former players and coaches selected for the hall by the National Football Foundation and announced Tuesday at the Nasdaq stock exchange in Times Square. “While winning back-toback Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys was rewarding, the most fun I had in football was in college,” Johnson said. The other coaches to be inducted in December are Phillip Fulmer, who won the first BCS title in 1998 with Tennessee, and R.C. Slocum, the winningest coach in Texas A&M history. Ty Detmer, the recordbreaking 1990 Heisman

RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Commonwealth University went from “VCWho” to the biggest story of the 2011 NCAA basketball tournament when it made an improbable run to the Final Four. Now the Rams are cashing in. VCU and coach Shaka Smart hope a move to the Atlantic 10 will give them a chance to keep building off that momentum as up-and-comers on the national stage. VCU announced Tuesday it is leaving the Colonial Athletic Association for the Atlantic 10, a basketball-driven league and big winner so far in offseason realignment. “This is a tremendous opportunity that really represents the best interests of this institution,” VCU President Michael Rao said at a press conference in the Seigel Center. Butler, which beat VCU in the national semifinals last year, joined the A-10 on May 2. But while Butler won’t come aboard until the 2013-14 school year, VCU is all-in come July 1. For the Rams, the move is clearly about long-term growth and increased exposure. They are forfeiting nearly $5 million in NCAA tournament money due them over the next six years under the guidelines of CAA bylaws, will pay the CAA a $250,000 exit fee and a $700,000 fee to join the A-10, interim athletic director David Benedict said. But the key for VCU, Rao said, is they will retain the opportunity to compete for championships in the coming season, increase the visibility of the school and expect to be able to attract better athletes and better students with the step up in competition. ““We need to be willing, and we are certainly able, to compete at the very highest levels, and we look forward to doing that in the A-10.”

The first overall pick last year by the Cavaliers received 117 of 120 possible votes for 592 points. By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Once Kyrie Irving finished cracking jokes, thanking Cleveland’s fans, his teammates and coaches, he looked down from the podium at the person who promised this would happen. He was the NBA’s Rookie of the Year. “This award is for us,” Irving said to his father, Dred, who raised his son after his wife, Elizabeth, died 15 years ago. “We’re bringing it back home and we’re going to put it right on the mantle and we’re going to put some flashing lights on it so it shines throughout the whole entire house.” This season, Irving shined brightest. The 20-year-old ran away in voting by a nationwide media panel that could have handed in ballots with two months left in the season. There was really no other choice. Irving received 117 of 120 possible first-place votes from writers and broadcasters and finished with 592 points, more than three times as many as Minnesota’s Ricky Rubio (170), who finished second despite missing most of the season with a knee injury. Denver’s Kenneth Faried (129) was a distant third. Faried, San Antonio’s Kawhi Leonard and New York’s Iman Shumpert received the other first-place votes, stopping Irving from joining Blake Griffin (2011), David Robinson (1990) and Ralph Sampson (1984) as the only players to win the award unanimously. Irving played beyond his years and above everyone’s expectations — including his own — this season when he routinely took over games in the fourth quarter and renewed the hopes of a Cleveland franchise still putting together the pieces after LeBron

The Associated Press is reporting that Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving is the NBA’s Rookie of the Year.

James left as a free agent two summers ago. Irving always felt the award was within his reach. “It was a goal of mine,” Irving said. “I kept it on the back burner. I knew as long as we won games and we beat great teams that it was going to come.” The first pick in last year’s draft, Irving led all rookies — and the Cavs — in scoring with 18.5 points per game. He also led first-year players in fieldgoal percentage (46.8), was second in assists (5.4) and became one of just six rookies in league history to average at least 18 points and five assists. However, it was the other elements of his game — a nasty crossover dribble, a fearless desire to get to the basket, and a clutch, cold-blooded instinct in the fourth quarter — that separated him from the others. Cavs coach Byron Scott knew Irving was special long before he made his pro debut. “The day we brought him in for his individual workout before the draft, I thought he was definitely the best player that we had,” Scott said.

Former coach is one of three coaches and 14 players being inducted.

Jimmy Johnson, left, and Steve Bartkowski are among 17 of College Football’s 2012 Hall of Fame Class.

Trophy winning quarterback for BYU, led a group of 14 players heading to the Hall of Fame. Steve Bartkowski, who played quarterback at California from 1970-72, joined Johnson at the news conference in Manhattan. He said the call he received from NFF President and CEO Steve Hatchell to let him know that he had been selected to the Hall of Fame caught him totally off guard. “When Steve called last week to inform me, I thought he had the wrong number,” said Bartkowski, who led the nation in yards passing as a senior and was drafted first overall by the Atlanta Falcons. “It’s absolutely an honor.” The rest of the class includes receiver Art Monk of Syracuse; tight end Dave Casper of Notre Dame; tackle Jonathan Ogden of UCLA; running backs Charles Alexander of LSU and Otis Armstrong of Purdue; quarterback Tommy Kramer of Rice; defensive backs Scott Thomas of Air Force and Greg Myers of Colorado State; split end Hal Bedsole of Southern California; defensive end Gabe Rivera

of Texas Tech; linebacker Mark Simoneau of Kansas State; and guard John Wooten of Colorado. Johnson, who has become a fixture working as an NFL analyst for Fox, spent five seasons at Oklahoma State before replacing Howard Schnellenberger at Miami in 1984. He coached two College Football Hall of Famers — defensive tackle Russell Maryland and defensive back Bennie Blades — and at least one more eventual honoree in 1986 Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde. He left Miami after the 1988 season for the NFL. “It was a challenge,” Johnson said. “I think that’s why coaches leave college to give professional football a shot. The challenge. Their own egos. And that’s what it was for me. “I told the team this is not really something I want to do. This is something I have to do just for my own ego.” It worked out just fine, of course. He’s got the sparkling Super Bowl ring to prove it. Johnson built another dynasty in Dallas and had some success with the Miami Dolphins, but it wasn’t the same in the NFL.

Boy in N.Y. wins appeal; can continue to play on girls team

By FRANK ELTMAN Associated Press

SMITHTOWN, N.Y. — The biggest goal of Keeling Pilaro’s field hockey career happened far from an athletic field on Tuesday. An athletics committee determined the 13-year-old boy can keep playing on the girls’ varsity team at Southampton High School, at least for one more season. The decision at an appeals hearing Tuesday reverses earlier rulings that claimed Keeling’s skills as a field hockey player, which he developed growing up in Dublin, Ireland, had developed to a level superior to those of girls. “I was jumping up and down; I was so excited when I heard,” the youngster said in a telephone interview about an hour after the decision was announced by an attorney for the athletics committee. “I can play!” Kevin Seaman, the attorney for the committee that oversees public school athletics in Suffolk County, said panelists determined that Keeling’s continued participation on the team ultimately would not have “a significant adverse effect” on girls’ opportunity to participate in interschool competition. That was the same criteria used earlier this year when officials for the committee said Keeling’s skills had exceeded those of his female teammates and competitors.

Spending up as gas prices going down

B R I E F

Facebook IPO price grows Already expected to be the largestever initial public offering for an Internet company, Facebook is making its IPO even bigger. The world’s largest online social network on Tuesday increased the planned price range for its stock to $34 to $38 per share in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. That’s up from its previous range of $28 to $35. At the upper limit of $38, the sale would raise about $12.8 billion. At the same time, half of Americans think the expected value for Facebook Inc. is too high, according to a new Associated Press-CNBC poll conducted before the company raised its expected stock price on Tuesday. Only a third of those surveyed said they think Facebook’s expected value is appropriate.

By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writers

WASHINGTON — Americans are starting to see some relief from higher gas prices, a change that could revive the economy in the months ahead. Consumer prices were flat in April, largely because of a decline in gas prices. Lower prices at the pump may be combining with steady job growth to power more spending on big purchases. Sales of autos, furniture and electronics all rose in April. And Americans spent more at restaurants and bars — generally a sign of confidence in the economy. “Consumer spending looks to have started the second quarter on a solid footing,” said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics. Despite the strength in key areas, overall retail sales increased just 0.1 percent last month, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. That modest gain followed two stronger months in February and March. Cheaper gas offset some of the gains in big purchases. The mild winter was also a factor. In the previous two months, it boosted sales in areas such as building materials and gardening supplies. Spending in those categories fell sharply in April. Still, economists were encouraged by the details in the report. Excluding autos, gas station sales and spending on building materials, so-called core retail sales increased 0.4 percent, a modest gain. “All the categories that showed gains are positive signs for consumer spending going forward,” said Leslie Levesque, senior economist at IHS Global Insight. “The categories where there were declines were mainly a payback for the warmer weather.” Recent job growth has contributed to higher consumer confidence. Employers have added 1 million jobs in the past five months, though the pace of gains has slowed recently. Another reason to be optimistic: gas prices are falling after spiking earlier this year. The national average dropped to $3.73 per gallon on Tuesday, about 17 cents cheaper than a month ago, according to a survey by AAA. Sales at gas stations fell 0.3 percent in April. “We had expected gas prices to be elevated until Memorial Day,” Levesque said. “The fact that they have already retreated so much is a very good sign. It alleviates the strain on consumers’ pockets.” Cheaper gas also kept inflation tame. Gas prices fell a seasonally adjusted 2.6 percent in April, the Labor Department said. That offset mild increases in the cost of food, housing, and clothes.

Chesapeake’s credit hit Standard & Poor’s lowered Chesapeake Energy’s credit rating Tuesday, questioning how quickly the company could remedy its financial woes. Chesapeake shares dropped more than 6 percent to the lowest level since March 2009. The credit ratings agency believes that Chesapeake will struggle to generate enough cash to pay off its debts as natural gas prices plunge. Standard & Poor’s also noted that the “mounting turmoil” from CEO Aubrey McClendon’s personal financial dealings could make it tougher for the company to raise money in the future. S&P pushed Chesapeake further into junk investment territory by dropping it a notch to “BB-,” saying the company “faces major ongoing uncertainties to adverse business, financial and economic conditions.”

A subdued apology

JPM CEO says he can’t justify $2B trading loss By TAMARA LUSH and PALLAVI GOGOI Associated Press

AMPA, Fla. — The CEO of JPMorgan Chase offered a quick but blunt apology to shareholders Tuesday for a $2 billion trading loss that “should never have happened” and survived a push to strip him of the title of chairman of the board. CEO Jamie Dimon, who in recent years has given expansive answers to questions about the bank’s handling of foreclosures and loan modifications, was unusually subdued at the JPMorgan annual meeting.

Avon shares decline Shares of Avon Products Inc. fell almost 11 percent Tuesday after the smaller beauty products maker Coty Inc. dropped its $10.7 billion takeover bid. Privately held Coty first made an offer for Avon Products public on April 2, and the relationship was contentious from the start. Avon said that offer was too low, and Coty said it needed to look at Avon’s books before it made a definitive offer. Last week, Coty set a Monday deadline for Avon to decide. On Sunday, the door-to-door marketer said it would consider the deal and respond within a week, but Coty closed the door on Monday, and investors followed suit.

NEW YORK — Cheaper gas won’t be enough to get many more Americans on the road this summer. They’re still too worried about their jobs and the economy. Economists and tourism experts are expecting only a small uptick in summer travelers. Gas prices are lower, but still high enough to keep some Americans off the road. The job market is improving, but still shaky. And household debt remains high. Those who do travel won’t feel free to splurge. The bulk of road trippers, experts say, will take shorter trips and

He spent four minutes talking about the trading loss and steps the company has taken to address it, and just two more talking about accomplishments of the company over the past year. The loss, disclosed Thursday, rattled investor confidence in the largest bank in the United States and in the ability of Wall Street to fight regulatory changes more than three years after the financial crisis. Of the trade, an ill-timed bet on socalled credit derivatives, Dimon said: “This should never have happened. I can’t justify it. Unfortunately, these

mistakes are self-inflicted.” Speaking with reporters later, he added: “The buck always stops with me.” Dimon won a non-binding shareholder endorsement of his pay package from last year, which totaled $23 million, according to an Associated Press analysis of regulatory filings. Most of the shareholder ballots were cast in the weeks before Dimon revealed the trading loss. The pay package passed with 91 percent of the vote. The vote to strip him of the chairman’s title won only 40 percent support.

This was not expected to be a wet May, but so far we are nearly 2 inches above normal for the month and 1 inch above since March 1. Since Jan. 1, there is now a much smaller deﬁcit of only four-tenths of an inch. Today will be a very warm day with a good deal of sunshine. A cold front will arrive around 5 p.m., and there may be a shower as the wind shifts toward the north. Then, overnight, much cooler and much drier air will move in for Thursday. Indeed, Thursday looks gorgeous and so does Friday, and I expect to have good news about the weekend weather as well. Stay tuned. - Tom Clark

CHEF’S CORNER TOM SKUDALSKI VANDERLYN’S RESTAURANT

Balsamic bruschetta is balanced Higher temperatures are right around the corner. If you’re looking for a quick hors d’oeuvre idea or a flavorful light appetizer, then I believe I have the answer for you. My Balsamic Feta Bruschetta is a simple solution that can be prepared in minutes but leaves a lasting impression because it is bursting with flavor. I’ve decided to add balsamic vinegar to a tomato and fetacheese mixture to complement the natural sweetness of the tomatoes and basil as well as balance the sharpness from the feta cheese. If you would rather sit back, relax and enjoy the dish, we’ll do the cooking for you. We will offer Balsamic Feta Bruschetta at Vanderlyn’s Restaurant beginning today through the weekend. For reservations or additional features call Vanderlyn’s at 283-6260. Our website is www.vanderlyns.com. ••• BALSAMIC FETA BRUSCHETTA Yield: 2 servings Ingredients 1 loaf French bread, sliced 1/4-inch thick 1 tomato, fine diced 6 ounces feta cheese, fine diced or crumbled 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 teaspoon granulated onion 1 teaspoon granulated garlic 1 teaspoon parsley, chopped 2 ounces butter, melted salt and black pepper, as needed Balsamic Glaze and micro greens to garnish extra virgin olive oil, as needed Method of preparation 1. Brush melted butter on sliced bread, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, onion, garlic and parsley. Place in 350-degree oven for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. 2. In a bowl combine diced tomato, feta cheese, basil and balsamic vinegar, EVOO and mix well. Season with salt and black pepper. 3. Place the tomato cheese mixture on the toasted crouton, garnish with micro greens and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Rhubarb can be mixed with kale to make a confetti salad, as pictured at top, or used to add flavor, such as the spiced rhubarb sauce pictured above. The vegetable’s first use was as medicine in China and Tibet, with records dating to 2700 B.C. European cooks were intrigued enough by its tart flavor that they began growing it in about 1600.

should have known better. My cousin’s seemingly casual invitation was too intent on success, the gleam in her eye a bit too bright. “Take a bite,” she said, holding out the stalk of rhubarb. She spoke as if she were postponing her own pleasure, as if her bite of the scarlet stalk could wait if it meant her own dear young cousin could be happy. The rhubarb looked tasty. The pale green stalk looked like celery, but better, with brilliant red striations. The bottom knob of the stalk, where it had been pulled from the plant with a firm tug, was pink and appeared as polished as marble. But it was the other end, where the great leaf had been lopped off by my beguiling cousin, that revealed the stalk’s pale green interior. “Take a bite,” she said again. I suspect we were not unobserved — that the grownups were looking out from the kitchen at the ancient drama being enacted. For surely, generation upon generation has tempted its younger members with the suggestion that biting into a stalk of rhubarb is a delight. But to a child’s untested tastebuds, rhubarb is a shock. The initial crunch is quickly replaced by the sensation of every pore in your mouth constricting in the face not so

Packaged lunch meat carves out a new niche

By MICHELLE LOCKE For The Associated Press

Thin-sliced roasted turkey, prosciutto and soppressata no longer are the domain of the deli. Food companies looking to capitalize on consumers’ increasingly sophisticated tastes — and their need for speed at the grocer and at home — are carving out new directions in lunch meat with upscale options that are pre-sliced, prepackaged and ready to go right alongside the bologna. They also are revamping the

classics, offering new flavors and styles of basic deli meats, including better-for-you options such as the new line of Oscar Mayer Selects. “There has been a huge expansion of flavors,” says Janet Riley, who has seen the trend as senior vice president for public affairs and member services at the Washington-based American Meat Institute — and as a mom. She was recently picking out ham for her son’s lunch and was struck by “the smoked, the honey, Black Forest, the mes-

quite and all the other options.” Some prepackaged lunch meats now come in thicker slices, mirroring the choice at a traditional deli. Herbs and spices also are showing up in prepackaged products, boosting flavor and appeal. And there are the packages of sliced, dry-cured meats, such as soppressata and prosciutto, which used to be strictly deli items. Meanwhile, producers have been cutting salt and removing artificial ingredients in response to customers’ requests

for a more natural product. “There are consumers out there who are interested in products that have ingredients that are more familiar and recognizable, says Heather Buettner, senior director of new product development and innovation at Oscar Mayer. The new Oscar Mayer Selects lunch meats follow last year’s successful launch of Oscar Mayer Select Hot Dogs, a product that is among the tiny 0.5 percent of new products launched in the past decade to

reach $100 million in their first year, according to data from Symphony IRI Group. In addition to the hot dogs, new Selects products include five cold cuts and bacon. The company also announced that more than half of new products launched in 2012 will have no artificial preservatives. The company has a goal of reducing sodium by 20 percent across all products by the end of the year. “This is important to consumers, and therefore it’s important to us,” Buettner says.

much of a taste that is sour — though your brain is screaming “Sour!” — as in the realization that spitting out the rhubarb risks releasing even more of its barbarity. The good news is that we know now that kids’ tastebuds are especially sensitive to bitter or sour flavors and that maturity brings the joy of realizing that rhubarb is one of the great delights of horticulture. Rhubarb’s first primary use was not as food but as medicine in China and Tibet, with records dating to 2700 B.C. Its eventual appearance in European countries was due to its medicinal properties, but cooks also were intrigued enough by its tart flavor that they began growing it in about 1600. Trade routes continued to shrink the globe, and by the late 1700s imported sugar became plentiful and affordable, which pretty much lit the fuse on rhubarb’s becoming more commonly referred to as “pie plant.” While we tend to think of it as a fruit, rhubarb actually is a vegetable, which helps move our brains in the direction of using it in more savory dishes, such as a Yorkshire-style pudding side dish, or in a kale salad. Nor is it necessary that rhubarb desserts rely on strawberries. It’s far more interesting to pair its tart flavor with tropical mangoes, chewy figs, fresh raspberries or ripe bananas. Or, you can follow one of the simplest recipes ever: Take one small bowl of sugar into the garden. Pull a stalk of rhubarb from the plant. Lop off the leaf. Dip one end of the stalk into the sugar. Take a bite. Continue

••• CONFETTI SALAD OF KALE AND RHUBARB Serves: 6 Note: I love this salad. It’s gorgeous, but it also makes you feel like a superhero with all of its vitamins. Lacinato kale, a dark green variety often called dinosaur kale, provides the best color contrast for the ruby bits of rhubarb and golden batons of cheese. The

liquid from the pickled rhubarb helps make the vinaigrette. Prepare the rhubarb at least three hours before serving. From “Rhubarb Renaissance,” by Kim Ode (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 120 pages, $16.95). For the pickled rhubarb: 1 cup rhubarb, cut in 1/4-inch pieces 1/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup white balsamic vinegar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp mustard seeds For the salad: 1 bunch (12 to 15 leaves) lacinato kale 3 tablespoons rhubarb pickling liquid 3 tablespoons walnut oil Hefty pinch salt Several grinds pepper 4 oz aged Gouda, cut in fat matchsticks (about 1 cup) 1 tablespoon butter 1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs, preferably sourdough 1/2 cup candied walnuts, roughly chopped To make pickled rhubarb: Place rhubarb in a shallow heat-proof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and mustard seeds, and bring to a boil; cook until sugar dissolves. Pour mixture over the rhubarb and let sit at room temperature for at least three hours before using. The pickles’ flavor improves if refrigerated overnight. Any leftover pickling liquid can be refrigerated for future use. To make salad: Remove center rib from kale leaves, stack several pieces, then slice crosswise into a fine julienne. You should end up with about 5 cups. Rinse kale and pat dry between paper towels or use a salad spinner. Whisk together pickling liquid and walnut oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss kale with dressing, then gently fold in the cheese and drained rhubarb. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so the kale softens a bit; it can chill for up to 3 hours. Heat butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add bread crumbs, stirring to coat. Cook, stirring, until crumbs are golden and crisp. Set aside. Before serving, toss salad again, add bread crumbs and walnuts, and toss once more.

YORKSHIRE RHUBARB Serves: 6 to 8. Note: My friend Cindy Jurgenson lent me one of her old cookbooks from “the good cooks of Litchville, N.D.,” which was full of rhubarb recipes. Most were familiar, but one was a variation on the savory Yorkshire puddings served with roast beef. If you don’t have an oven-safe pan, pour the bacon renderings into a similarly sized baking dish, then proceed with the recipe as directed. . From “Rhubarb Renaissance,” by Kim Ode (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 120 pages, $16.95). 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk 3/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. dried thyme, or 1 tsp. fresh 2 slices bacon, cut in half-inch pieces (see note) 1 1/2 cups rhubarb, cut in halfinch pieces 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar Directions: In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and thyme. Process until smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slowly fry bacon in a 10-inch ovensafe pan (cast iron is ideal, but see Note). Remove bacon from pan and drain on paper towels. Reheat the rendered bacon fat until sizzling, then pour the batter into the pan. Scatter rhubarb over the batter, then sprinkle with brown sugar and bacon. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until crust is nicely browned. Cut in wedges and serve alongside any roasted meat or poultry.

Women can start to take control of their health by learning all they can Dear Abby: Between juggling the joys and challenges of home life and staying productive at work, it’s easy for women to make quick decisions now that could affect their health later on, or to miss early signs of medical problems altogether. To help women take control of their health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Office of Women’s Health and the General Services Administration’s Federal Citizen Information Center have created the free Healthy Women’s Action Kit. It contains tips that can help women of every age. The topics include: buying contact lenses online, mammograms, hypertension, cholesterol, Pap tests,

DEAR ABBY ADVICE menopause and hormones, and more. Abby, thank you for sharing this information kit with your readers, and for faithfully introducing all of us to ideas and information to help make our lives better. — Marsha Henderson, FDA Assistant Commissioner For Women’s Health Dear Marsha: I’m glad to help get the word out to my readers during National Women’s Health Week that the information is available for them at no cost. Readers, among the topics Marsha didn’t mention that are also included

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

are a guide to help you quit smoking and facts about tattoos, osteoporosis, diabetes and health scams. The more we know, the better we can protect ourselves and the people we love. The Healthy Women’s Action Kits are easy to order. All you have to do is send your name and address to Healthy Women’s Action Kit, Pueblo, CO 81009; go online to www.promo tions.usa.gov/Dearabby.html; or call (888)8-PUEBLO (that’s (888) 878-3256) weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time. You can also read the publications online in PDF format, download them to your computer and print them. Don’t wait, because supplies are limited. Dear Abby: The man I’m in love with, “Butch,” is an alcoholic. He

CRYPTOQUOTE

refuses to get help and has become verbally abusive. He got a DUI and there’s a warrant out for him because he didn’t follow through on his court orders. I threw him out after he lost his job. Butch is homeless now and has taken up with a homeless woman. When he’s sober he’s a totally different person, and that’s the man I’m in love with. I’m devastated by his actions and I want him back. I am so co-dependent I cry daily about this. I do go to meetings and I’m trying to move on, but I have no friends and don’t know where to start to get a life. Butch’s behavior is out of control, and it’s only a matter of time before he winds up in jail. Could you please tell me what to do? — Lost in Love in Montana

Dear Lost In Love: I’m sorry you’re hurting, but pleased to know you are going to meetings. At some point they will help you accept that as much as you love the person Butch was, for the sake of your health and sanity you must “let go and let God.” Your next step should be to give yourself less time to brood. Fill your nonworking hours by volunteering — at a hospital, a library, a senior citizen’s center. That’s where you’ll meet worthwhile people and start building friendships. 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). It’s only fun to take tests when you think you know the answers. With this in mind, you’re careful not to challenge others in a way that will make them feel bad. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re trying to make people’s lives better. Sometimes they cooperate; other times they don’t. You won’t take it personally. Being in the right makes it easier for you to keep your ego out of it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll do quite a lot on your own, but not everything. Before you ask for help, be sure you really need it. Others will find it most satisfying to help you. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your positive thoughts are transmitted to the universe. You’ll see evidence that your transmission has been received in the beautiful unfolding of your plans. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re not a miniscule part of the cosmic whole — not according to the trillions of microorganisms living within you, and not to the ones who love you. You’ll get a sense of your vital importance today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You made a deal with destiny, and that deal is more negotiable than you might think. Sit down and have a talk with her in your mind. Sure, she can be tough, but she’s not unreasonable. Besides, destiny likes you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Sometimes you feel as though no one is listening to you. That will be remedied today, as the influence you hold will be obvious. Your suggestions will be taken; your orders, followed.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t need a phone to connect with the one you love. Even when this person is at a great distance, satellites and wires are unnecessary because you’re telepathically connected. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your habits change because your environment has changed. It’s a result of having to adapt to the way things currently are. You’ll like where the new habits lead. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your thought process is like television. You can’t control the programming, but you can choose what you’ll watch. And if you choose wrong, you can always change the channel. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Emotions trigger your mind to release chemicals in your body, and every cell takes a bath in those chemicals. This is yet another reason why you should do what makes you happy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll weave a lineup of happy thoughts into an overall positive attitude. Who can resist your very attractive and amenable personality? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 16). You’ll love the attention showered on you over the next six weeks. Also note that just because something didn’t work out last year doesn’t mean it won’t work out at all. In July, you get a second chance and make it work for you. A deal closes in August. November and February show domestic improvements. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 38 and 18.
