SCRANTON – Following a five-month self-imposed moratorium on closing any facilities, the U.S. Postal Service announced Thursday it would move forward with plans to close more about 250 mail processing centers, including the Scranton facility on Stafford Avenue. Just a week ago, U.S. Sen. Bob

The moratorium about to expire was agreed upon last year between the Office of the Postmaster General and a group of U.S.

senators to give Congress time to study and enact legislation to shape the future of Postal Service operations.

But the region needs to plan properly for negatives that may accompany advances. By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

09815 10011

Luzerne County government’s more than 1,000 retirees won’t receive cost-of-living pension increases, the county retirement board decided Thursday. The increase, tied to a percentage of the Consumer Price Index, would have forced county taxpayers to pay $500,000 to $600,000 more annually for the next decade, county retirement coordinator Rick Hummer told the board. The law requires the board to consider a cost-of-living increase every three years, though approval isn’t mandated. The last increase in 2008 is costing the fund $4.76 million over 10 years, Hummer said. Councilman Eugene Kelleher, who was selected as board chairman Thursday, made the motion to deny it. “Our county is in a financial position where we just can’t afford it,” Kelleher said. Three of the five remaining board members concurred – county Manager Robert Lawton, Councilman Jim Bobeck and Interim Budget/Finance Chief Vic Mazziotti. Board member John Evanchick, a deputy sheriff, was

properly for negatives that could accompany those changes. Those messages were conveyed Thursday during the seventh annual Lackawanna and Luzerne Counties Indicators breakfast and forum presented by The Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development at the Radisson Hotel. The institute’s task force chairpersons gave reports on housing, education, health care, the economy and energy, and how Lackawanna and Luzerne counties have fared.

DA’s delay questioned in Lee homicide case Cody Lee is charged with killing his great-grandfather in December 2009.

By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – An attorney and a Luzerne County judge on Thursday questioned why it took the District Attorney’s Office several weeks to hire a psychiatrist to review a case against a suspect charged with killing his great-grandfather. Senior Judge Joseph Augello on March 9 prohibited prosecutors from using a report by Dr. John O’Brien that cited state-

ments Cody Lee made about the deadly shooting. Lee was 16 years old when state police at Wyoming alLee leged he carried out a plan to kill his greatgrandfather, Herbert Lee, 80, inside their home on Meeker Outlet Road in Lake Township on Dec. 9, 2009. State police arrested Lee on Dec. 10, after he spent hours in the cold wearing minimal clothing. He allegedly made statements to investigators about the shooting before he was charged

with criminal homicide. Lee’s attorneys, Peter Paul Olszewski Jr. and Melissa Scartelli, convinced Augello that Lee was not properly cared for by investigators after his arrest, and stated Lee may have been suffering hypothermia when he was questioned. Augello prohibited prosecutors from using Lee’s statements in the case. Olszewski and Scartelli are trying to transfer the case from adult court to juvenile court. The case has been reassigned to Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. Assistant district attorneys Shannon Crake and Mamie Phillips told Sklarosky on Thursday

that county District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis last week approved the necessary funds to hire a psychiatrist to replace O’Brien. Olszewski asked why it took Salavantis nine weeks to make the decision to hire a psychiatrist. Olszewski further stated two letters he sent to Salavantis about the Lee case were ignored. “I didn’t even get a response,” he said. Salavantis did not return a message for comment Thursday afternoon. Sklarosky also questioned why it took the District Attorney’s Office nine weeks to decide to hire a psychiatrist to replace O’Brien.

“The delay from March 9 until the date of the motion on Monday remains unexplained,” Sklarosky said. Crake and Phillips on Monday filed a motion to schedule Thursday’s hearing. A hearing to decide if the homicide case stays in adult court or is moved to juvenile court was scheduled on May 29, but was continued to July 9 upon the request of Crake and Phillips. “I’ll tell you this right now, there will be no more continuances,” Sklarosky told the prosecutors. Lee remains housed at a male treatment center in Latrobe, Westmoreland County.

L-L union moves County to sue records company to stop trust pullout

District plans to leave area school district health trust to save $1 million in first year. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The union representing Lake-Lehman School District teachers and support staff has taken a threepronged approach to stopping the district from switching insurance providers. They include: • Seeking an injunction from a Luzerne County court judge. • Filing a union grievance to force arbitration on the issue. • Filing an unfair labor practice complaint with the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board. If all of those fail, the union has a fourth option: “We notified the district that if they proceed with this it will be an unlawful lockout,” said John Holland, Pennsylvania State Education Association regional director. “The contract has a no-lockout clause.” Holland wouldn’t elaborate, but in the past such a move has opened the door for other legal action by the union, including Crestwood teachers failing to show up for work one day after claiming a lockout during a 2005 labor dispute. A judge ordered the teachers back to work the next day. The Lehman dispute centers on a plan by the district to leave the Northeast Pennsylvania School District Health Trust, a consortium of districts formed in 1999 to reduce insurance rates. The trust requires one-year’s

notice before a district can withdraw, and Lake-Lehman has sent notice that it intends to withdraw after the end of the next fiscal year: June 30, 2013. But the district plans to get dental and vision coverage through the trust this coming school year, using another broker for medical coverage. That way, it is not actually leaving the trust this year, but is shifting the bulk of coverage out of the trust. Withdrawing from the trust “violates the union contract, violates the public employee relations act and it violates the trust agreement,” Holland said, contending the union must be consulted and must approve any change in insurance coverage. Attorney for the district John Audi countered the teacher contract calls for the district to provide “a comparable plan; it does not say identical, it says comparable.” He said the plan is comparable to that provided through the trust, and saves the district $1 million the first year. Holland rejected that claim, insisting the new coverage “is vastly inferior.” The union is seeking a court injunction, a tactic that worked when Greater Nanticoke Area and Northwest Area tried to leave the trust in 2005. The two sides met in chambers Thursday with county Judge David Lupas, who set up a hearing June 6 on the injunction. Audi and Holland said they are confident of prevailing in the dispute. In a bit of irony, Audi was a union attorney in the 2005 dispute, and took the same legal action the union is taking now.

Fired police chief now laid off Nescopeck council approves settlement that includes payout, vacation time. By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

NESCOPECK – Council approved a settlement with former police Chief James Desidoro, changing his status from discharged to laid off and providing him with a payout of $6,500, plus five paid vacation days. The action came at a special meeting Thursday night. Under the terms of the agreement, Desidoro, who was let go in March, absolves the borough and its officials from any future liability or legal action. Councilmen Dick Powlus and Paul Nye, who serve on the police committee, said the settlement was approved not only by council and Desidoro but also by the Teamsters Union. The Teamsters serve as the bargaining agent for Nescopeck police. Inaddition,Powlussaid,Desidoro has signed a retirement letter, effectiveMarch10,2013.Powlusadded Desidoro’s retirement is irrevocable. During the interim, howev-

er, he will be able to file for unemployment compensation. Nye said the accord was secured by attorney Eric Brown of Chester Springs, who specializes in labor law and served as the borough’s counsel for $180 per hour. Attorney Thomas Kohn of the Philadelphia firmofMarkowitz&Richardrepresented the union. Those members of council, beside Nye and Powlus, who voted to approve the agreement were Sandy Wright, chairperson; Kim Kishbaugh, Joe Coakley and Dave Madara. On another issue, a breakdown in communications between Nescopeck and the Luzerne County 911Center, Nye said he has learned the problem may emanate from a recentlightningstrikethataffected the radio tower in Nescopeck.

Officials: LRW Solutions Group was paid $856,000 more than contract allowed.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County has filed paperwork stating its intent to sue a records company allegedly overpaid by the county. A forensic audit earlier this year concluded the county’s record improvement fund paid the company – Wayne, Pa.based LRW Solutions Group, also known as Little Red Wagon – $856,000 more than authorized by its contract. Former county Clerk of Courts Robert Reilly, who pleaded guilty as part of the federal corruption probe, had authorized payments to LRW for consulting work without consent from fellow record improvement committee members, county officials have said. Reilly has said he didn’t obtain a public vote on all expenditures because other records

GNA board plans 2.5% tax hike Increase will generate about $130,000, but projected shortfall is $872,307. By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent

NANTICOKE – Greater Nanticoke Area School Board members voted unanimously Thursday night to raise the tax millage rate by 2.5 percent. This would raise the district’s millage rate from the current 9.9295 to 10.1807 if adopted as part of the final 2012-2013 budget. A mill is $1 for every $1,000 in assessed property value. The proposed final budget was set at $24.25 million. According to Al Melone, the district’s business manager, the increase represents about $20 of additional taxes per year for the owner of a property valued at the district’s average of $78,610. Melone said the district is in

good financial shape and he praised the board and Superintendent Anthony Perrone for their fiscal responsibility. But he also said the tax increase will generate only about $130,000. The projected revenue shortfall is $872,307. “That doesn’t take us out of the woods. We have to keep finding ways to reduce cost,” he said.

Police allege Moore, Johnson and a third man stole money and other items from at least 10 vehicles in the 200 block of West Ridge Street, 600 block of South Hanover Street and the 100 block of West Noble Street, where they were encountered at about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the criminal complaint.

ments to LRW have not been addressed, including missing receipts and a lack of evidence that some tasks were completed. “We should be able to recover at least some of this money. To just walk away would not be fair to taxpayers,” she said. The payments to LRW largely drained the record improvement fund, she said. As of March, $115,000 was in the record improvement fund, which comes from a fee on recorded deeds. Much of the work involved shelving and organization at the Thomas C. Thomas building. County officials want to get records out of that WilkesBarre structure because it was deemed inappropriate for document storage, with temperature extremes and leaks. “Because of this, we are the only county in the entire state that does not have a comprehensive records retention plan and proper storage. Other counties used their money wisely,” Medico Olenginski said.

committee members failed to attend meetings – a claim that some members denied. County Manager Robert Lawton said the one-page writ was filed in the prothonotary’s office because “we’re preserving our options.” He said he will brief county council when the administration reaches a final recommendation. County assistant solicitor Steve Menn said paperwork had to be filed before the statute of limitations expired. Menn said the county is awaiting the results of an investigation. The U.S. Secret Service is investigating past payments to LRW. LRW representative Eric Coombs has said his company did nothing inappropriate, and it completed all work authorized by Reilly. County Prothonotary Carolee Medico Olenginski has urged the county to sue in an attempt to recoup the overpayment. Medico Olenginski said many concerns about pay-

In other business, the board appointed Ken Bartuska as athletic director for the district. He will continue coaching the varsity basketball team. Also, a large group of seniors presented their request for an outdoor graduation ceremony. A representative of the group said the outdoor venue would be more comfortable and large families would be able to attend together. Perrone said the board would have to discuss the students’ request.

WEST PITTSTON – Police are investigating a break-in at a residence in the 200 block of Baltimore Avenue that happened late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Entry was made by removing a screen in an open window. Several items were stolen, but there was no damage done to the residence, police said. Police advised residents to lock doors and windows to their unoccupied residences and vehicles to deter break-ins. Residents are urged to be alert of suspicious activity and contact Luzerne County 911 to contact police.

WILKES-BARRE – Mayor Tom Leighton thinks leasing the city’s parking assets is worth $20 million upfront, but according to one city Parking Authority member, the expert hired to evaluate those assets feels the number should be “way lower.” The city will release the Request for Qualifications document today as Phase 1 of the plan to lease the city’s parking assets moves forward. But Leighton will not release the report compiled by Desman Associates,

the Chicago based parking consulting firm retained by the city Parking Authority. “I can’t give you the number that Desman came up with, but let me just say it wasn’t even close to $20 million,” said Ed Katarsky, board member and a financial analyst. Drew McLaughlin, the city’s administrative coordinator, said the RFQ will be a compilation of the opinions of Desman, Fox Rothschild and Goals Consulting. “The minimum bid the city is seeking is $20 million,” he said. “Any prospective bidder will have to do their own financial analysis. We’re not going to comment on what Desman said or didn’t say.” McLaughlin said the Desman analysis was provided during a conference call

Wednesday afternoon. “There’s no physical report,” he said. “We took what Desman said and what the other consultants said in putting together the RFQ. There’s no sole author of the RFQ.” When asked what the city would do if no bidder is willing to come up with a $20 million upfront payment, McLaughlin said, “We’ll cross bridge when we come to it.” He said the RFQ is targeting a 30-year lease for the $20 million. He said a 50year lease would require a higher upfront payment, but he wouldn’t disclose that amount. McLaughlin said the RFQ will be sent out today to prospective bidders to gauge what interest there is in leasing the city’s

Bear drops in for visit in Noxen By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

Walking became harder and harder for her. She went to the Multiple Sclerosis Center at the Lehigh Valley Hospital for

In the yard of a Noxen residence stood a hungry black bear. Nearby was a sunroom with a chest freezer and a bag of birdseed inside. Standing between the bear and the cache of food was the glass door to the sunroom. For the bear, it was only a minor obstacle. On May 9 the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Northeast Region Office in Dallas received a call from a Noxen resident about a bear that had broken through the bottom of a glass door, entered the sunroom and took frozen meat from a chest freezer. The bear also ransacked a trash can containing leftovers but it didn’t gain access to the main part of the house. The homeowner wasn’t home at the time. “It’s unique, but sometimes these things happen,” said Wildlife Conservation Officer Victor Rosa, who responded to the call in Wyoming County. “The bear broke the glass on the door, but there was minimal damage. “It’s unusual for a bear to go through so much effort to get into a house.” But not unheard of. Five years ago, WCO Dave Allen, who covers part of Luzerne County, responded to a bear call at the Stage Coach Inn restaurant in Drums. A bear had entered the kitchen, removed a large box of Goldfish from the pantry and went outside to eat the crackers in the parking lot. “There was an old door with a loose screen, and the bear stood there looking inside,” Allen said. “The cook was cooking in the kitchen, turned around and saw the bear and yelled at it. “When he yelled, the screen fell out of the door and the bear walked inside.” Allen arrived to find the bear eating the Goldfish in the parking lot. A loud bang from a thunderstorm scared the bear away, he said, and Allen never caught it in a trap he set at the restaurant. Close encounters between bears and people peak in the spring, according to PGC information and education supervisor Bill Williams. In the past week, the PGC’s region office received 48 calls regarding bear complaints that were referred to WCOs. Williams said approximately three times that many calls are received about bears but are handled by dispatchers. In every case the main factor behind the encounter is food, Williams said. Topping the list of bear attractants are birdfeeders, followed by garbage and pet food left outside. “We try to emphasize the bears are being attracted for a reason,” Williams said. “If you remove that food source, the bears have no reason to be there.” Birdfeeders can be a difficult issue, Williams said, because some people enjoy seeing birds and don’t want to stop feeding them. “They just want the bears removed,” he said. “Bringing the feeders in at night may help a little bit, but birds will kick feed onto the ground during the day and

WILKES-BARRE – No longer will Capts. Doug and Patty Richwine worry about where to find the money to balance the budget this year for the Salvation Army. The annual community dinner held Thursday night filled the charity’s plate, raising $150,125 and provided much-needed funding for its Kirby Health Center Family House, a transitional housing program for families. The Salvation Army also honored Chuck and Mary Parente with its “Community Service Award,” and Mary and Allen Erwine with the “Others Award.” Approximately 430 people attended the dinner at the Best Western Genetti

Hotel & Conference Center and the Richwines delivered a heartfelt thank you and goodbye to them. The couple, both pastors in the Salvation Army, came here five years ago and will leave next month to head another chapter in Milton. “Well, you did it. I can truly say God has blessed us,” said Patty Richwine when she announced the amount raised. She singled out Bob Tambur for leading the dinner committee responsible for the event. Richwine’s husband shared her joy and relief in being able to balance the $1.2 million budget. “Every year I come to this dinner and every year we make our goal,” said Doug Richwine. “I will never forget this

valley. It is a wonderful, giving valley.” He encouraged the audience to continue being generous, saying, “Keep giving because times are tough.” The families who stay in the transitional housing provided by the Salvation Army need to know people care about them, said Mary Erwine. “Tonight you have proven that someone cares,” she said. The Erwines were honored for their “extraordinary spirit of service to other,” said Lt. Col. Donald Lance, who presented the “Others” award. The owners of Erwine Home Health & Hospice Inc. in Kingston have supported numerous projects and programs See DINNER, Page 14A

Walk aims to make strides for MS awareness Plains Twp. resident wants to bring attention to treatment of disease. By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

WILKES-BARRE – Plains Township resident Dawn Bozek, 42, admitted she was naive about Multiple Sclerosis when she was first diagnosed in 2003. By participating in the MS walk Saturday, she hopes to raise awareness of the disease and treatments available. About 400,000 Americans have MS, and about 200 new cases are diagnosed every week, according to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The disease affects the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as numbness in limbs and/or paralysis, slurring of speech and loss of vision. On Saturday, the annual MS Walk will be held starting at the Martz Amphitheater in Kirby Park in WilkesBarre, and proceed into the downtown

area. Bozek said when she first noticed numbness in her legs, she was not too concerned. Then one morning, about 10 years ago, she woke Bozek up for work and she could not feel her legs. Her boyfriend pinched her leg and she could not feel it. “He called my mom,” she said. A self-proclaimed “big baby” when it comes to needles and doctors, Bozek went with her mother to see their family physician. “I just thought it was an enflamed nerve or something like that,” she said. “I thought he would give me a pill for it.” Instead of a pill, she walked out of the doctor’s office with an order for an MRI. This lead to further testing, including a spinal tap, Bozek said. The final diagnosis was MS.

BMCP approves DeNaples resigns from bank board emergency center By SARAH HITE shite@timesleader.com

DALLAS TWP. – The Back Mountain Community Partnership approved a budget Thursday for a planned regional emergency management center. Lehman Township received a $975,000 gaming fund grant on behalf of the partnership in March for a regional emergency management agency facility to be located in a former medical building off Route 118. The partnership initially requested $1.2 million for the project. Cuts were made to administrative fees; engineering, permitting and legal fees and newconstruction costs. A committee of partnership members met with emergency management agency officials to discuss the budget, and the group agreed to increase the amount of equipment to be located at the site. This includes having trailers packed with equipment to increase efficiency during emergency situations. Another major change to the project includes the elimination of a pole barn in favor of building an addition to the existing building. Chairman James Reino Jr. said the measure saves money, increases security and will make the site more efficient. In other matters, Kingston Township Supervisor Jeffrey Box asked the partnership to consider collectively urging state officials to move forward with a corridor study that was requested nearly 10 years ago on state Routes 309 and 415. Box said Kingston Township

received a draft of the study a few years ago, but it was never finalized by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. He said the study would be a key factor in scheduling the roads on PennDOT’s Transportation Improvement Program project list. Supervisor Mike Prokopchak of Franklin Township said he had called several state officials to discuss the Prevailing Wage Act and many did not return his messages. He said the proposed legislation to reform the act has not been acted upon in the legislature and the current laws are hurting municipalities, school districts and taxpayers. The current prevailing wage law, passed in1961, requires that workers on government projects exceeding $25,000 be paid a rate set by the state secretary of Labor and Industry rather than a number based on local market rates. House Bill 1329 would set the project rate at $185,000 to correspond with market inflation. House Bill 1685 would require the secretary of Labor and Industry to develop a uniform list of worker classification. Prokopchak told supervisors that according to the National Bureau of Labor and Statistics, $25,000 in 1963 equals $187,411 in current dollars due to inflation. He said many legislators are unsure of the bills because of concern about labor unions.

DUNMORE – Having lost his battle to obtain a stay of a Federal Reserve order, Lackawanna County businessman Louis DeNaples has resigned from his position on the board of First National Community Bancorp. DeNaples resigned from the board effective May 12, according to a filing with the Security and Exchange Commission. In a letter attached to the filing, DeNaples said the resignation was made with protest, and that

POLICE BLOTTER HAZLETON – State police at the Hazleton barracks said Thursday sobriety checkpoints will be conducted in Luzerne County between May 25 and 28 during the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend. HAZLETON – City police reported the following: • Payless Auto Sales LLC of 42 South Hunter Highway, Butler Township, reported Thursday that Pennsylvania license plate J97341J was lost in Hazleton. If the plate is found, please return it to Hazleton police, 40 N. Church St. • Police are investigating a home invasion that occurred around 5 a.m. Thursday at a residence in the area of Cedar and Chestnut streets. Family members were held at knife and gun point by the intruders and the residence was ransacked. The family members were unharmed. Anyone with information about the home invasion is

more. “The decision by federal regulators to force my resignation, prior to the resolution of my pending appeal, is unjust and not supported by the law,” DeNaples said in the letter. “My counsel and I believe that the federal appellate courts will, after consideration of the merits of my position, strike down the Federal Reserve’s decision and direct my immediate reinstatement to the board.”

The board of governors of the Federal Reserve in April ordered DeNaples to resign from the board and to give up his controlling interests in FNCB based on an agreement DeNaples reached with Dauphin County prosecutors in 2009. DeNaples was charged with perjury for allegedly lying to Pennsylvania gaming officials who were investigating his suitability to hold a casino license. Prosecutors withdrew the charge after DeNaples agreed to transfer ownership of the Mount Airy Casino and Resort to other family members. The Federal Reserve maintains DeNaples had entered a pre-trial diversion program, which would make him ineligible to serve on a

bank board. DeNaples challenged that ruling, but several appellate courts upheld the decision. DeNaples had asked the U.S. District Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia to issue a stay until all his appeals are exhausted. The court denied that motion on May 10. In his letter, DeNaples said his resignation was particularly difficult because he has always acted in the best interest of the bank. “I helped the company and the bank grow and prosper,” DeNaples said. “In doing so, we were able to create a strong and locally oriented bank that we could be proud of and that employed many people and that met the banking needs of the communities in which it operates.”

asked to contact Hazleton police. • Amy Nenstiel of Zion Grove reported Pennsylvania license plate YYG9674 was stolen from her Dodge Dakota while it was parked in the 500 block of Garfield Street between April 17 and Wednesday. • Jose Omar Sanes, 36, reported money and an external hard drive for a laptop computer were stolen from his residence on North Laurel Street between May 9 and Wednesday.

• A small amount of change was stolen from a vehicle parked in the area of 12th and Vine streets on Thursday morning. A rock was used to smash a window on the vehicle between 8:45 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. • A Toyota Corolla parked in the area of Sixth and Grant streets was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene on May 11. • Two people assaulted a woman Wednesday afternoon in the 500 block of West Maple Street.

Non-white newborns majority for first time, Census Bureau says

B R I E F

Minority births top whites By MICHAEL MUSKAL Los Angeles Times (MCT)

LOS ANGELES — The United States has reached a historic tipping point — with Latino, Asian, mixedrace and African-American births constituting a majority of births for the first time, the U.S. Census Bureau reported Thursday. Minorities made up about 2 million, or 50.4 percent, of the births in the 12month period ending July 2011, enough to create the milestone. The latest figure was up from 49.5 percent in the 2010 census. The racial and ethnic shift was an expected, but still important, turning

point for the nation, whose economic and political elites remain essentially white and primarily male. The new numbers indicate that the upcoming generations will be more diverse and could have an increasingly broader view of issues — such as immigration reform — that are based on race and ethnicity. There will also be cultural changes — as there have been in recent years, with foods, music and ideas from Latino cultures, for example, spreading into the mainstream. The new numbers also raise some interesting questions about, and challenges for, the upcoming generations. They’ll have to deal with non-race-

based issues such as the federal budget deficit and the social services needed for an aging population. Thursday’s Census Bureau numbers show a continuing graying of America, as the nation’s median age rose slightly because of growth in the older-than-65 population, especially in the subset of those older than 85. With the overall number of children younger than 18 declining, and Americans living longer, fewer people will have to fund more benefits — or find some other political solution. Race and ethnicity could also play a role in the generational cleavage since the older group will be largely white.

One of attackers first blew himself up at the gate of the governor’s complex in Farah province, then three others fought their way inside, said Raouf Ahmadi, the regional police spokesman. An ensuing two-hour gunbattle with the police left all the attackers dead, Ahmadi said. He said six policemen and one civilian were also killed in the attack, while another 12 people were wounded.

BEDFORD, N.Y.

The estranged wife of Robert Kennedy Jr. hanged herself at her home in suburban New York. Mary Richardson Kennedy, 52, an architect known for her philanthropic and environmental work who also was hit with drug and alcohol charges in recent years, was found dead Wednesday afternoon on the family’s property in Bedford. The Westchester County medical examiner’s office said after an autopsy Thursday that she died of asphyxiation due to hanging. A person familiar with the investigation into her death says that authorities have concluded that her death was a suicide. Her husband, Robert Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer and the son of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, had filed for a divorce in 2010. The two had married in 1994 and had four children together. The divorce case was still pending. JACKSON, MICH.

Matthews is being held at police headquarters while investigators wait for the 1.7-carat stone to pass through his system. Sgt. Brett Corey said Thursday that Matthews has gone to the washroom numerous times, but the diamond hasn’t passed. He said the suspect is eager to get the ordeal over with and is co-operating.

Kathy Watson of Florida voted Republican in 2008 and believes the government has no right telling Americans to get health insurance. Nonetheless, she says she’d be dead if not for President Barack Obamas health care law.

‘Uninsurables’ await decision Supreme Court decision on health care act could leaves thousands with no insurance coverage.

By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Cancer patient Kathy Watson voted Republican in 2008 and believes the government has no right telling Americans to get health insurance. Nonetheless, she says she’d be dead if it weren’t for President Barack Obama’s health care law. Now the Florida small businesswoman is worried the Supreme Court will strike down her lifeline. Under the law, Watson and nearly 62,000 other “uninsurable” patients are getting coverage through a little-known program for people who have been turned away by insurance companies because of pre-

existing medical conditions. “Without it, I would have been dead on March 2,” Watson said of the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan, known as PCIP. That’s when she was hospitalized for a life-threatening respiratory infection. It’s not clear how the Supreme Court will rule on Obama’s law, but Watson’s case illustrates the potential impact of tying everything in the far-reaching legislation to the fate of one provision, the unprecedented requirement that most Americans carry health insurance. The law’s opponents say if that insurance mandate is found to be unconstitutional, the rest of the law should also go, since courts should not be picking and choosing policy. The administration defends the insurance requirement but says if the court decides to overturn it, most of the rest of the law should stay.

State officials who administer the federal pre-existing condition plan in 27 states are trying to make fallback arrangements in case the law is invalidated and coverage suddenly terminates. “Some of these individuals are critically ill and are being treated for very serious illnesses, whether it be cancer or HIV-AIDS, and we feel a responsibility to them to do what we can to see they don’t lose access,” said Amie Goldman, who oversees PCIP in Wisconsin. Federal officials who administer the plan in the remaining 23 states and Washington, D.C., remain mum on what might happen there if the law is overturned. The White House line is that Obama is confident the Supreme Court will uphold the Affordable Care Act, and his administration therefore is making no contingency plans for a reversal.

Vermont first to ban hydraulic fracturing Governor says increased amounts of gas not worth risk to drinking water. By DAVE GRAM Associated Press

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Gov. Peter Shumlin on Wednesday signed into law the nation’s first ban on a hotly debated natural gas drilling technique that involves blasting chemicallaced water deep into the ground. The Democrat, surrounded at a Statehouse ceremony by environmentalists and Twinfield Union School students who pushed for the

ban, said the law may help Vermont set an example for other states. The Shumlin ban may be largely symbolic, though, because there is believed to be little to no natural gas or oil beneath the surface in Vermont. The gas drilling technique, called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, involves the high-pressure injection of water and chemicals into the ground to split rock apart and release natural gas or oil.

It’s being used extensively in the rapidly expanding natural gas industry in several states, including Pennsylvania. Critics have blamed the practice for contaminating drinking water wells of some residents living near the drilling operations, but natural gas industry officials dispute those claims. Shumlin said the increased amounts of natural gas obtainable through hydraulic fracturing were not worth the risk to drinking water supplies. In the coming generation or two, “drinking water will be more valuable than oil or natural gas,” Shumlin said. “Human beings survived

for thousands and thousands of years without oil and without natural gas,” he said. “We have never known humanity or life on this plant to survive without clean water.” Shumlin then appeared to contradict himself, saying other states should emulate Vermont’s ban on hydraulic fracturing but also should be the “guinea pigs” for testing the process. “I hope other states will follow us,” he said. “The science on fracking is uncertain at best. Let the other states be the guinea pigs. Let the Green Mountain State preserve its clean water, its lakes, its rivers and its quality of life.”

NEW YORK — Like the King of Pop or the Queen of Soul, Donna Summer was bestowed a title fitting of musical royalty — the Queen of Disco. Yet unlike Michael Jackson or Aretha Franklin, it was a designation she wasn’t comfortable embracing. “I grew up on rock ‘n’ roll,” Summer once said. Indeed, as disco boomed then crashed in a single decade in the 1970s, Summer, the beautiful voice and face of the genre with pulsating hits like “I Feel Love,” “Love to Love You Baby” and “Last Dance,” would continue to make hits incorporating the rock roots she so loved. One of her biggest hits, “She Works Hard for the Money,” came in the early 1980s and relied on a smoldering guitar solo as well as Summer’s booming voice. Yet it was with her disco anthems that she would have the most impact in music, and it’s how she was remembered Thursday as news spread of her death at age 63. Her family released a statement saying she died Thursday morning and they “are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy.” The family did not disclose the cause of death. She won a Grammy for best rock vocal performance for “Hot Stuff,” a fiery guitarbased song that represented her shift from disco to more rock-based sounds, and created another kind of anthem with “She Works Hard for the Money,” this time for women’s rights. Summer, real name LaDonna Adrian Gaines, was born in 1948 in Boston. She was raised on gospel music and became the soloist in her church choir by age 10. Before disco, she had already reinvented herself several times. She sang Motown songs with local groups in Boston, then dropped out of school in the late 1960s and switched to pyschedelic rock after hearing Janis Joplin. An attempt to get a part in the musical “Hair” led her to get the principal role in Munich. She stayed in Germany for five years, worked in other productions and modeled.

Van Halen postpones summer tour dates The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Van Halen is postponing some dates on its summer concert tour. A source familiar with the tour who was not authorized to speak publicly confirmed to The Associated Press that some of the band’s long-scheduled performances this summer are being postponed. The group’s website lists active tour dates through June 26.

Dozens of additional shows had been planned and there was no immediate reason given for the postponements. Representatives of the band and AEG, which is promoting the concerts in some regions, did not respond to messages from the AP on Thursday.

Records shed new light on killing

Autopsy shows Trayvon Martin had marijuana in system the night he was shot in Florida.

By MIKE SCHNEIDER and KYLE HIGHTOWER Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Trayvon Martin’s autopsy shows he had marijuana in his system the night he was killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, and a gunshot to his chest came from close range, according to nearly 200 pages of previously undisclosed documents released Thursday. At least one investigator wanted to charge Zimmerman with manslaughter but was overruled, according to the documents, which are shedding new light on a case that has raised questions about racial profiling and “stand your ground” laws. The investigator, who was on the scene after the shooting, wrote on March 13 that the confrontation should have been avoided. That report came nearly a month before Zimmerman was arrested. The documents, photos and video were turned over by prosecutors to defense attorneys earlier this week before they were released to the media. Included in the many witness interviews were accounts by an acquaintance of Zimmerman’s who said he’s racist and a co-worker who said Zimmerman bullied him and mocked him with an exaggerated Middle Eastern accent. The autopsy says medical examiners found THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, when they tested Martin’s blood and urine. A police report shows the 17-year-old had been shot once in the chest and had been pronounced dead at the scene. The autopsy says the fatal shot was fired from no more than 18 inches away. Also in the package is a photo showing Zimmerman with a bloody nose on the night of the fight. A paramedic report says Zimmerman had a 1-inch laceration on his head and forehead abrasion. “Bleeding tenderness to his nose, and a small laceration to the back of his head. All injuries have minor bleeding,” paramedic Michael Brandy wrote about Zimmerman’s injuries in the report. Whether Zimmerman was injured in the Feb. 26 altercation with Martin has been a key question. The 28-year-old Zimmerman has claimed self-defense and said he only fired because the unarmed teenager attacked him. Zimmerman was not arrested for weeks because he invoked the Florida’s law that does not require a person to retreat in the face of a serious threat. He was released on bail and is in hiding while he awaits trial on a second-degree murder charge. He has pleaded not guilty. The investigator who called for Zimmerman’s arrest, Christopher Serino, told prosecutors in March that the fight could have been avoided if Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement. He said Zimmerman, after leaving his vehicle, could have identified himself to Martin as a concerned citizen and talked to him instead of confronting him. In Loving Memory of

Obama playing host to world leaders for summits jobs and ending the war Group of Eight, NATO summits leave the U.S. But with some new faces The summit locations rotate at Camp David, Md., and around the conference tables, annually for each organization. Chicago, respectively. Obama and the other leaders will Leaders from the world’s eight By JULIE PACE Associated Press

WASHINGTON — More than two dozen world leaders will join President Barack Obama in an extraordinary weekend of backto-back summits to tackle Europe’s mounting economic woes and solidify plans for winding down the decade-long war in Afghanistan. The Group of Eight economic summit and the national security-focused NATO meeting will be infused with politics from every angle. For Obama, the summits are a unique election-year opportunity to show leadership on the world stage without having to

be confronted by the stark reminder of the political turmoil from Asia to Europe that cost several of their old counterparts their jobs. Since late 2011, public frustration with Europe’s debt crisis has led to the ouster of leaders in Italy, Spain, Greece and most recently, France. Two other members of the G-8, Britain and Japan, have had leadership shake-ups since Obama took office. Obama is fighting for his own job in a campaign expected to hinge on the economy. He has had the good fortune of being able to hold both summits this year in the U.S., allowing him to tailor the meetings around his election-year messages of expanding the economy, creating

leading industrialized nations arrive in the Washington area today for meetings at Camp David, the wooded presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains. Immediately after the G-8 summit, Obama and most of the other leaders will fly to Chicago on Saturday evening to join other heads of state from NATO. Obama originally planned both meetings for Chicago, his hometown. But the White House abruptly scrapped those plans in March, announcing with little explanation that the G-8 would shift to Camp David. U.S. and other diplomats said a major reason for the switch was to appear welcoming to Vladimir Putin, who recently reclaimed

But administration officials say Obama plans to caution Hollande, France’s first socialist president in 17 years, that Europe cannot abandon budget-cutting entirely. Obama will host Hollande at the White House today before the G-8 summit begins. Hollande will be in the spotlight as the weekend of summitry moves to Chicago, where NATO will firm up plans for how the alliAP PHOTO ance will finish its shift from a combat role in Afghanistan to an Activists protest at President Obama’s campaign HQ in Chicago advisory role next year.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney speaks to reporters after a campaign stop at the River City Brewing Co. on Thursday in Jacksonville, Fla.

The Rev. Wright issue resurfaces GOP frontrunner Romney says President Obama is about ‘character assassination.’ By PHILIP ELLIOTT and BETH FOUHY Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney says his campaign is about the future while President Barack Obama’s is about “character assassination.” But he offered no examples, telling reporters he would leave it for them to assess. Romney commented Thursday after supporters abandoned a potential $10 million ad strategy that would have highlighted Obama’s ties to his controversial former pastor. Campaigning in Jacksonville, Fla., Romney said he repudiated

that effort and called it the “wrong course” for a campaign or supporters to pursue. Romney said he would prefer his allies focus on the economy and jobs. A group of Republican consultants had pitched the ad campaign. After a New York Times report Thursday on the proposal, the billionaire businessman who considered bankrolling it shelved the idea after Romney denounced the tactic. An aide to Joe Ricketts, founder of TD Ameritrade, said the proposal to draw the Rev. Jeremiah Wright into the presidential campaign — and the issue of race, by extension — went too far. The New York Times reported Thursday that Ricketts’ Ending Spending Action Fund, a conservative super PAC, was considering a proposal for a $10 million TV ad campaign highlighting

Wright’s sermons. The blueprint, titled “The Defeat of Barack Hussein Obama: the Ricketts Plan to End His Spending For Good,” was devised by a group of Republican strategists, one of whom confirmed its contents for The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss private working sessions. Brian Baker, president of the super PAC, said Ricketts was not the author of the 54-page plan. Baker blamed consultants. Romney had urged the independent group, which favors his candidacy, to abandon the Wright strategy and to focus instead on his bedrock issue, the economy. “I repudiate the effort by that PAC to promote an ad strategy of the nature they’ve described,” Romney told the conservative website Townhall.com. “I would

like to see this campaign focus on the economy, on getting people back to work, on seeing rising incomes and growing prosperity — particularly for those in the middle class of America.” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina criticized the plan as a “campaign of character assassination” and accused Romney “reacting tepidly in a moment that required moral leadership in standing up to the very extreme wing of his own party.” Messina noted that Republican Sen. John McCain, Obama’s opponent in the 2008 presidential race, had rejected using Wright and Wright’s sermons against Obama. Wright became a problem for Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign when videos of the pastor’s sermons surfaced. In a 2003 sermon, Wright said blacks should condemn the U.S.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney and his party raised $40 million in April. The strong haul in the first month of the general campaign suggests Republicans are rallying behind Romney. The showing also threatens President Barack Obama’s cash advantage in his push for a second term. In just one month, Obama’s 10-to-1 cash edge has shrunk to 2-to-1. That’s in part because Romney has spent most of his time courting donors since becoming the presumptive GOP nominee. He’s also getting help from pro-Romney outside groups, which are spending millions on TV ads attacking Obama. Romney raised nearly as much as the $43.6 million Obama raised for himself and his party. Overall, Romney’s side reported has $61.4 million in the bank. Obama’s side had $124 million on hand at the end of March. VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN on Thursday mocked Mitt Romney for attempting to claim credit for the rebound of the American auto industry, linking the GOP hopeful’s past criticism of the Obama administration’s rescue plan with his role as the head of venture capital firm Bain Capital. The setting for Biden’s latest attack on Romney was a Chevrolet plant in the southeast corner of Ohio, to a crowd of 450 invited supporters standing before three Chevy Cruze vehicles. The vice president praised Obama for stepping up to save Big 3 automakers General Motors and Chrysler from “liquidation,” to preserve what he called an “iconic industry

POLITICAL NOTEBOOK

that helped build the middle class.” “Governor Romney also stepped up. He made it clear what he would do,” Biden said, referring to Romney’s New York Times op-ed piece that was headlined, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” He noted Romney now tries to finesse his criticism by saying he advocated for “private equity” to step in, rather than having taxpayer dollars bail out the companies. But if so, Biden asked, why didn’t Romney’s own company want to invest? “Governor Romney seems to want it both ways. It’s kind of amazing,” Biden said. “You’d think I was making this up. ... He said, quote, ‘I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that the industry’s come back.’ ” PRESUMPTIVE REPUBLICAN presidential nominee Mitt Romney says he’ll run his first TV ad of the general campaign in a couple of days. Romney told reporters Thursday that it will be a positive spot introducing him to voters. Separately, sources familiar with the ad buy told The Associated Press that the spot is slated to run next week. Data from television stations shows the ad will air in Iowa, North Carolina, Virginia and Ohio — all critical battleground states in the fall. The former Massachusetts governor is still unknown to millions of voters. Ads highlighting his biography could help introduce him to voters on his terms, and counter the negative portrayals of him by Democratic President Barack Obama’s re-election machine.

fly to space station Mission this weekend could lead to opening of a new era in space exploration.

By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — For the first time, a private company will launch a rocket to the International Space Station, sending it on a grocery run this weekend that could be the shape of things to come for America’s space program. If this unmanned flight and others like it succeed, commercial spacecraft could be ferrying astronauts to the orbiting outpost within five years. It’s a transition that has been in the works since the middle of the last decade, when President George W. Bush decided to retire the space shuttle and devote more of NASA’s energies to venturing deeper into space. Saturday’s flight by Space Exploration Technologies Corp. is “a thoroughly exciting moment in the history of spaceflight, but is just the beginning of a new way of doing business for NASA,” said President Barack Obama’s chief science adviser, John Holdren. By handing off space station launches to private business, “NASA is freeing itself up to focus on exploring beyond low Earth orbit for the first time in 40 years.” California-based Space Exploration, or SpaceX, is the first of several companies hoping to take over the space station delivery business for the U.S. The company’s billionaire mastermind, Elon Musk, puts the odds of success in his favor while acknowledging the chance for mishaps. NASA likewise cautions: This is only a test. “We need to be careful not to assume that the success or failure of commercial spaceflight is going to hang in the balance of this

Fuel Up with

single flight,” said Mike Suffredini, NASA’s space station program manager. “Demo flights don’t always go as planned.” Once it nears the space station after a two-day flight, the SpaceX capsule, called Dragon, will spend a day of practice maneuvers before NASA signals it to move in for a linkup. Then its cargo — a half-ton of food and other pantry items, all nonessential, in case the flight goes awry — will be unloaded. Up to now, flights to the space station have always been a government-only affair. Until their retirement last summer, shuttles carried most of the gear and many of the astronauts to the orbiting outpost. Since then, American astronauts have had to rely on Russian capsules for rides. European, Japanese and Russian supply ships have been delivering cargo. It will be at least four to five years before SpaceX or any other private operator is capable of flying astronauts. That gap infuriates many. Some members of Congress want to cut government funding to the private space venture and reduce the number of rival companies to save money and speed things up. The shift to private enterprise, while revolutionary in space, has a long history in the U.S. The Internet, for example, evolved from government work. Space station astronaut Donald Pettit points to the settling of the American West: The government ran the forts, and private enterprise built the railroads. In this instance, NASA employees are still working closely with the commercial contenders, giving advice and attending company meetings. “I see this whole story repeating itself again and again as we move from low-Earth orbit,” Pettit said. “And it will probably repeat itself when we go to the moon and elsewhere.”

A contest I don’t want to win is Maryland will probably be the king of the oversaturated market with the highest tax rate.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — Casinos are not like Starbucks stores: You really can’t have one on every corner. That’s the word from David Cordish, whose company is opening a huge new casino next month in Maryland. Yet Cordish warns that the expansion of casino gambling can’t go on unchecked forever. A big problem is the attitude of politicians across the country who view casinos as free money. “I don’t know how we can control the politicians; they certainly don’t understand the word ‘oversaturation,’ ” Cordish said. “They think you can have casinos like Starbucks.” If that attitude continues, Cordish said, “it’s going to implode on them.” The expansion of casino gambling has continued rapidly over the last several years, nowhere more fiercely than in the Northeast. There is serious disagreement within the industry as to whether the market is oversaturated or whether there is room for further growth. But most agree it is tougher to do business in the Northeast casino market than it ever has been before. The Cordish Company’s Maryland Live!, opening on June 6, will have 4,750 slot machines and cost $500 million. “Thanks, David, for bringing 4,700 new slots to this market,” joked Don Marrandino, eastern division president of Caesars Entertainment, which owns casinos in Atlantic City and Pennsylvania. “That’s great news for us.” Cordish said the casino market needs the stability of knowing how many operators there are going to be, particularly with the 67 percent tax Maryland imposes on its casinos. He said the state will have four

in six states, said there are excellent new markets that don’t yet have casino gambling. The company plans two more, including one in Pittsburgh. She listed Massachusetts, Texas and Florida as prime spots for new casinos, and said even traditionally hostile states such as Georgia, the Carolinas and Kentucky are considering legalizing them. “Frankly, some of these opportunities are the best untapped gambling markets in the United States,” she said. But, McDowell said, “the industry lets its best growth opportunities die on the vine, choosing instead to fight each other.” Mitchell Etess, CEO of Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, said the state’s two Indian-run casinos once had few competitors. Mohegan Sun also owns Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township. “It used to be just Atlantic City and Connecticut” that offered casino gambling on the East Coast. “The Northeast is going to get a little more crowded.” And part of that will be due to Mohegan Sun, which is also seeking a casino license in Massachusetts. At the East Coast Gaming Congress, held at the newly opened Revel casino, executives from Atlantic City casinos said offering non-gambling amenities is key to surviving the cutthroat market, particularly in the northeast. Tony Rodio, CEO of Tropicana Entertainment Inc., said the industry, and especially Atlantic City, needs to play up the other offerings that don’t involve gambling. He said the Tropicana in Atlantic City is fiercely going after mid-week meeting and convention business. Marrandino cited the new $20 million “Do AC!” advertising campaign that Atlantic City recently launched, noting it deliberately did not show any gambling activities. That was to stress all the other things there are to do in the resort, he said.

Get ready for a sizzling summer Warmer-than-normal temperatures are forecast for most of the nation. By SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON — And the heat goes on. Forecasters predict toasty temperatures will stretch through the summer in the U.S. And that’s a bad sign for wildfires in the West. The forecast for June through August calls for warmer-thannormal weather for about threequarters of the nation, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said Thursday. The warmth is expected south of a line stretching from middle New Jersey to southern Idaho. Only tiny portions of northwestern U.S. and Alaska are predicted to be cooler than average and that’s only for June, not the rest of the summer.

Last May until April was the hottest 12-month period on record for the nation with records going back to 1895. This year so far has seen the hottest March, the third warmest April and the fourth warmest January and February in U.S. weather history. And it was one of the least snowy years on record in the Lower 48. Some people called it the year without winter. And the outlook for summer is “more of the same,” said Jon Gottschalck, head of forecast operations at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center in Camp Springs, Md. “There’s definitely a tilt toward being above normal through the summer.” For some areas of the Southwest that could mean temperatures 1 or even 2 degrees warmer than normal on average, and maybe close to half a degree warmer than normal in the East, he said. One of the reasons is that much

of the country’s soil is already unusually dry. So the sun doesn’t use as much energy evaporating water in the soil and instead heats up the air near the ground even more, Gottschalck said. Forecasters say the combination of the heat and dryness will only make western wildfires worse. The fire season has already gotten off to a dramatic start. Wildfires in northern Arizona and northern Colorado forced residents to flee their homes on Thursday. Fires in those areas could be even worse today, said Greg Carbin, the meteorologist who coordinates warnings at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. “To see fires to the extent that they are this early isn’t a good sign,” he said. And the summer forecast is for “a pretty significant wildfire season developing across the western United States.”

Death row inmate’s surgery raises ruckus Killer’s need for hip replacement pits politics against medicine. By BRETT BARROUQUERE Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A condemned killer’s fight to receive surgery for agonizing hip pain pushed Kentucky officials into an uncomfortable debate over security, politics and even the possibility of inviting scorn from Fox News pundits. Emails and memos obtained by The Associated Press show corrections officials struggling to reconcile their duty to provide medical care with the political ramifications of spending tens of thousands of dollars for surgery on a man they plan to execute. A key problem would turn out to be security issues that led several hospitals to balk at treating inmate Robert Foley.

“Hip replacement for an inmate who has exhausted all appeals and will soon be executed?” Kentucky State Penitentiary warden Phil Parker wrote in an email on Nov. 22, 2010. “I can see this making Fox News on a slow news day, maybe even on a busy news day. In fact, I bet (Fox News host Bill O’Reilly) would love to put this in his ‘Pinheads’ commentary. Just a thought to consider before it goes too much further.” Prison officials also made contingency plans to call off the surgery if Gov. Steve Beshear set an execution date, and they considered whether to consult with him about the procedure. “I think it is that important and all this may have political consequences,” Parker wrote a year before Beshear’s re-election. Ultimately, Beshear’s spokeswoman said he wasn’t contacted about it. Foley, 55, was convicted of killing six people in eastern Kentucky in 1989 and 1991, making him the most prolific killer on the

state’s death row. Foley still hasn’t had the surgery, with Parker lamenting in an email they had no options after an exhaustive search. State officials deny that politics played a role, and there’s no evidence in the documents that political considerations prevented the surgery. A spokeswoman for the Kentucky Justice Cabinet declined to comment. Foley’s attorney, Jamesa Drake, said the state needs a way to care for condemned inmates, even those with complex needs. Foley, who has been on death row since 1993, is unable to get around without help because he’s at risk of a dangerous fall, she said. The Department of Corrections acknowledged his degenerative hip in a response to the lawsuit, but also said he has been receiving adequate care. The federal lawsuit filed in March is pending.

OUR OPINION: CREATIVE SPIRIT

Valley with heart needs more art

ORE ART, please. The area’s annual homage to all things creative known as Fine Arts Fiesta, a free festival continuing today through Sunday at WilkesBarre’s Public Square, hints at how our community can be enriched through paintings, plays, poems, music and other public expressions of our humanity. So, why don’t we expand on the notion and inject more art into our streets – and our lives – all year long? For much of the year here, art seems restricted. The area’s choirs, choruses and crooners each stay within their assigned spaces. Poets, if they present their work aloud at all, do so within the confines of bookstores. The regional philharmonic, known for its indoor concert series and a smattering of school excursions, rarely ventures out of the concert hall except for its popular Fourth of July pomp. Dancers don’t dare be seen on sidewalks instead of stages. And in those rare instances when music is heard downtown, it most likely emanates from those Farmers Market mini-concerts or the St. Patrick’s Day parade bagpipers.

Meanwhile, the arts in America appear more endangered. They routinely get shoved out of public schools, where cost-conscious administrators give them low priority. Ditto on most college campuses; when is the last time you met a theater major? Prevailing attitudes suggest that government, which must be “run like a business,” provide zero support to any artsy endeavors. Certain cranks and curmudgeons apparently see no public value in fostering artistic flair, much less whimsy. They are wrong, of course. Art inspires. Art soothes and amuses, challenges and incites. It heals. It educates. It connects. Keeping the arts out of view after the Fiesta ends is as detrimental as closeting the Christmas spirit along with the artificial tree on Dec. 26, or not brushing between dental visits. The Fine Arts Fiesta has existed for nearly six decades. If we have learned anything in that time about the arts, it’s that four days a year is simply not enough.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “It’s going to implode on them.” David Cordish The businessman whose company plans to open a sprawling new casino June 6 in Maryland warns that elected officials view the industry as free money and soon could saturate the Northeast market.

OTHER OPINION: WORLD MEETINGS

Summits offer stage for Obama

EGINNING THIS week, President Barack Obama will participate in three significant, very visible summits: the G-8 industrialized nations at Camp David today and Saturday, NATO in Chicago on Sunday and Monday and the G-20 in Los Cabos, Mexico, June 18-19. These meetings will provide Obama, as president and as the Democratic nominee, with the opportunity to meet with the top leadership of at least 39 countries. Major economic, political and security issues will be able to be addressed at the meetings, bilaterally and collectively. The two summits in the United States are a political candidate’s dream, with the world’s leaders clustering around the president amid heavy national and international media coverage. There is also, of course, the risk of glitches, differences of opinion with various leaders and serious issues – particularly in the economic realm – that EDITORIAL BOARD

need to be addressed, but on which agreement might not be reached. One already has surfaced. Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, will be sending his prime minister, Dmitry A. Medvedev, to represent him. The reason Putin gave – that he was busy putting together his new Cabinet – was the diplomatic equivalent of “I have to wash my hair.” A key topic at the NATO summit will be the growing tendency on the part of America’s allies to pull out of Afghanistan before Obama’s intended departure for U.S. combat troops at the end of 2014. The real focus of all the meetings must be the lamentable state of most nations’ economies. Whatever the results, the summits are a remarkable opportunity for face-to-face consideration of the world’s most difficult problems by its top leaders. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

n response to the editorial titled “Namey departure can bring new day” on May 11: I totally agree with the soft but accurate assessment of the long overdue departure of the Wilkes-Barre Area School District superintendent. One fact totally confusing the taxpayers is the annual $170,000 retirement check he will receive, which is $10,000 more than his working salary. This outrageous state of affairs is just that – a state of affairs created by the state legislators. The local school board can be held accountable only for what appears to be a salary “over the top” for this county. The departure is positive, as long as the district acquires a seasoned educator with validated experience as a superintendent and “change agent.” Granted, there are in-house educators who hold the certification but seriously lack the experience reporting to a board. Experience is desperately needed in this district. Strong leadership could have restricted the mismanagement and even the fraud. The editorial proclaiming a new day is to a degree accurate. Remaining are board members who stood by while this occurred. They weren’t only silent, they displayed arrogance and ignorance to the depth of the problem by electing an indicted member as their board president. The unbecoming behavior continued at the May 10 regular meeting. There have been serious concerns regarding the performance of the superintendent. When he stated his intent to retire, the board stood and applauded. Perhaps I misunderstood the reason for the standing ovation. Certainly the superintendent deserves recognition for 42 years; this was not the time or place. A taxpayer at the May 10 meeting was mocked by a board member. The taxpayer – and critic of the board and city council – is known for wearing his sunglasses at public meetings; it could be a problem related to light. When the taxpayer got up to speak to the board, a board member put on a pair of sunglasses. Way out of the dignity realm. Especially true of this board member, who should be the last to throw stones. Professional decorum at work sessions and board meetings should be mandated, coming off instances of fraud, the unthinkable situation with its solicitor and the public outcry regarding the actions or lack of actions by the board and superintendent. The “new day” would be truly a new day with the superintendent’s resignation followed by the resignation of all board members who stood by and did or said nothing. Perhaps all should go, considering it took a newspaper reporter to tell them they were paying too much for legal services. And while they “brainstormed” cuts to the educational services to students, they

budget $400,000 for legal services, in a district facing no major litigation. Richard A. Holodick Wilkes-Barre

Writer questions contract for county’s detectives

attended a watchdog tax group meeting May 8, organized by “Booty” Beltrami in Hazleton. The county detectives’ contract was one topic of discussion. Those in attendance opposed this lucrative deal. District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis sat in the audience and heard the public outcry for accountability of spending. Salavantis supported this contract. The people do not want their tax dollars spent on sweetheart deals. The question is: What do the detectives do? Not one of them investigated Luzerne County corruption over the past several years. The FBI had to be called in to clean up the county. Please reveal the details of the presented contract and provide a listing of duties performed by Luzerne County detectives. Kathy Dobash Hazleton

State disciplinary board criticized for inaction

n May 7, some 15 months after his conviction on numerous criminal charges, including racketeering, upon the recommendation of the state’s Disciplinary Board, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court temporarily suspended former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella’s license to practice law. One might wonder why the disciplinary board took so long to make its recommendation, why it recommended a temporary suspension rather than disbarment and why the Supreme Court followed its recommendation rather than disbarring him. Sometimes the disciplinary board acts in an untimely manner and sometimes it doesn’t act at all. Some of us are still waiting for it to act on a complaint filed several years ago against a former prothonotary who seemingly violated both the law and the Rules of Professional Conduct by deliberately failing to properly index a judgment filed against her former law partner. Unfortunately, we’ll never know why the

DOONESBURY

board took so long to act in the Ciavarella matter and why there has been no action on the complaint against the former prothonotary, because the disciplinary board won’t tell us. No wonder few lawyers and fewer residents of Luzerne County have faith in it. Daniel G. Flannery St. Petersburg, Fla.

Reader proposes building hydroelectric dam in area

he Wyoming Valley has been prone to flooding for many years. Is there a solution? There is a reasonable approach that will prevent devastation caused by the floods and the hardship it creates. The project will generate jobs for the present and in the future. Also, if this approach is embraced, our federal and state governments will allow our infrastructure to grow, by making grants available for a good purpose: to protect its citizens from floods. Hydroelectric power is the use of complex equipment to convert water into energy. We can solve much of this flooding problem by building a hydroelectric power dam in a location to help control river flow. Geological studies of the Susquehanna River have been done in the past, near Camel Back Ledge, across from Route 92. The dam will protect the flooding of the Wyoming Valley and beyond. The hydroelectric dam can be modeled after the Tennessee Valley Authority and other authorities that have gained experience in this field. The Susquehanna Authority, if kept off the commodities market, will allow local residents to reap the benefits of lower energy costs. Richard Kamus Swoyersville

Dallas district taxpayer has had it with taxes

axpayers in Dallas School District, your school board has voted unanimously to raise property taxes again. I already have heard the complaining. Well, what do you expect? You voted them in there. Instead, you should be contacting state Sen. Lisa Baker, who has not sponsored a property tax relief bill or signed on as cosponsor. There are two bills concerning property tax independence: HB 1776 and SB 1400. Call your elected state officials today and demand they vote for these bills. We only get to elect officials, not vote on levies like other school districts in other states. Demand to know why they won’t vote for this bill. But before you blame the school board, look in the mirror. Chuck Marhelski Trucksville

absent due to a medical issue. Taxpayers paid $8.4 million in 2009 and $9 million in 2010 to keep the fund stable. About $6.1million of last year’s $7.1 million subsidy was pushed off to this year because the county ran out of money, and an actuary conservatively estimated the 2012 contribution at $8.3 million. The county recently came up with $1.3 million toward last year’s subsidy so the pension advisor wouldn’t have to resort to liquidating assets to cover expenses, Mazziotti said Thursday, noting the balance will be paid soon. Lawton asked when the county started failing to pay the subsidy in the year it was owed. Mazziotti said he was in-

formed the practice started in 2007 when cash ran out. Former commissioners Greg Skrepenak and Rose Tucker borrowed $15.9 million in 2008 – which had to be repaid with interest over 20 years -- to cover $14 million in prior-year bills, including the $2.9 million pension subsidy, records show. The county administration wants to get the county on a timely payment schedule, in part because the fund misses out on potential investment earnings when the money arrives late. The fund was worth $193.56 million at the end of April, a 3.8-percent return this year. Pensions approved The board also approved three pensions due to state law quirks that allow former workers to collect pensions early or without the standard five years of vested employment. The law allows pensions once

outgoing workers reach age 60, regardless of how long they’ve worked for the county. John Corcoran will receive $243.73 per month after four years as elected coroner because he’s 64, Hummer said. Charles Fritz, who worked a little over three years in security, will receive $94 per month because he is 60. His monthly payment would have been higher, but he opted to withdraw $4,000 he paid into the fund, Hummer said. Recently terminated election bureau director Leonard Piazza will receive a pension because of another obscure provision that allows employees with more than eight years of service to collect pensions early if they’re involuntarily eliminated. Employees who don’t have 20 years of employment normally must wait until they turn 60 to collect a pension. Piazza, who is 41and had14 years of service, will

receive $192.62 per month. He also took out $42,344.98 in contributions he had paid into the fund, Hummer said. Former county security officer Kenneth Holley also was permitted to receive $47,850 he paid into the fund with interest. Holley had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for failing to disclose a previous conviction on his county employment application. Board Solicitor Donald Karpowich said the county did not have legal authority to withhold interest. The board also tabled several employee requests to buy back credit from previous part-time county employment to boost future pensions. State law permits the practice. However, the board wants Karpowich to determine if the county must allow lower purchase prices dating back to the parttime work, rather than rates based on current pay.

Barnes, of Elizabeth, N.J., has resided in the area for several years, according to court records, and was said to be living in the 500 block of Main Street. State police returned to the rear yard of 573 Main St. on Thursday morning. Several people in the neighborhood have been questioned, including a woman who was escorted by a trooper to the Wyoming barracks. A motive remains unknown, but investigators said the shootings appear drug related from

what they have learned. A woman in the apartment complex who declined to give her name said a trooper asked her if she had knowledge that Barnes and Trollinger were involved in drug trafficking. Barnes was released from the county prison on March 20, when his bail was modified on criminal conspiracy charges and firearm and drug offenses, according to court records. Wilkes-Barre police charged Barnes with conspiring to steal a 2002 Lincoln LS at Dana Street and Park Avenue on Dec. 22. Edwardsville police on Dec. 23 pursued the stolen Lincoln on

Route11until it crashed in an area known as Boston Hill in Larksville. Barnes was a passenger in the Lincoln and allegedly assaulted three police officers after the crash. During the fight, a pack of cigarettes allegedly containing crack cocaine fell from Barnes’ pocket, according to arrest records. A .40-caliber handgun under Barnes’ seat in the Lincoln was reported stolen in Easton, arrest records say. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call state police at Wyoming at 6972000.

Some displaced families have begun making their way south into the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys where affordable housing is prevalent.

The region has the highest unemployment rate in the state and has held on to that claim for more than three years. The number of construction and manufacturing jobs locally has plummeted since 2007, coinciding with the recession and bursting of the housing bubble.

county’s hospitals are now owned by two health care systems. “It’s a seismic shift,” said Karen Murphy, who was the CEO of Moses Taylor Hospital in Scranton before it was sold to Community Health Systems last year. Murphy now serves as interim president of the Moses Taylor Foundation and chairs the health care task force for the institute. She said the sales of area hospitals to Danville-based Geisinger Health System and Tennesseebased Community Health System come with promises of $418.6 million in investments over the next seven years. This will create jobs and stimulate the local economy since Community Health is a for-profit company and its properties are on the local tax rolls. It also will keep more residents local when requiring medical treatment, she said. Keeping more young residents local by attending college or moving back after graduating from college is also something that needs to be addressed. In 2010, local residents ages 20 to 24 comprised the smallest percentage of the population in both

L300, Bozek used a cane and leg braces. The braces made her fall frequently and injure herself. “Using the braces was very difficult,” she said. “I fell a lot. I even cracked my teeth due to a fall, and was exhausted all the time.” The device, which is attached to the leg, gently stimulates paralyzed muscles to allow patients to regain the control needed to

lift their foot more easily. The Bioness L300 still took some getting used to, she said, but the ease of mobility it provided was exciting. She started receiving physical therapy two times a week with the Bioness L300 at John Heinz Institute of Rehabilitation in Wilkes-Barre Township. Today, Bozek has regained her active lifestyle and now enjoys

family trips to Numedia Raceway in Catawissa, a favorite family activity. She said she would not have been able to navigate the grandstands there without the device. “I should have learned more about MS sooner,” she said. “I hope more people become aware of this disease and the medical advancement to help.”

Wages lagging For those who are still working locally, wages are lagging. The average annual salary in Lackawanna County in 2010 was $35,253 and in Luzerne, $36,502. The state average was $44,950. But Ooms said the numbers and trends, combined with some plans in place to capitalize from the burgeoning industries and the region’s prime location, give her hope. “Our potential is there in a number of ways … I think our geographic location is phenomenal,” Ooms said. “The key is breaking down the barriers, developing a plan and executing.”

On Thursday, Donahoe announced the waiting was over. “We simply do not have the mail volumes to justify the size and capacity of our current mail processing network. To return to long-term profitability and financial stability while keeping mail affordable, we must match our network to the anticipated workload,” said Donahoe in a release. Staggered closings The announced plan does stagger closings over the next three years rather than all of them closing this year as originally proposed. Under the new plan, up to 140 processing centers will be consolidated by next February — roughly 48 in August and about 90 next January and February. Another moratorium previously announced that suspended any closings during the Postal Service’s busy election and holiday mail season between September and January will remain in effect. Unless the circumstances of the Postal Service change in the interim, a second and final phase of 89 consolidations is scheduled to begin in February of 2014. There was no specific date for when the Scranton facility would close, though it was not likely to happen this year, said Ray Daiutolo, a spokesman for the Central Pennsylvania Region of theU.S. Postal Service. He said consolidation of the Scranton facility is likely to begin next January. But Casey isn’t backing down his efforts to save the Scranton facility and 10 others on the chopping block from Pennsylvania. “The Postal Service’s decision to move ahead with closing down facilities across Pennsylvania is misguided,” Casey said. “In the days and weeks ahead, I will continue to work to protect jobs and service standards for Pennsylvanians.” Approximately 5,000 employees will begin receiving notifications next week related to consolidating and other efficiency-enhancing activities to be conducted this summer. The plan is to merge Scranton’s operations with a processing center in the Lehigh Valley. Kevin Gallagher, president of American Postal Workers Union Local 101 in Scranton, has previously said only about one third of Scranton’s workers would be offered jobs in Allentown. 13,000 fewer workers These consolidating activities will reduce the size of the Postal Service workforce by approximately 13,000 employees and, when fully implemented, will generate cost reductions of approximately $1.2 billion annually. “The Postal Service will be communicating with our customers and employees about these changes in great detail,” said USPS Chief Operating Officer Megan Brennan. “We will work closely with our customers to ensure there are no surprises as we move forward.” The Postal Service also announced it is working with its unions for an employee retirement incentive, although no final decision has been made. “The Postal Service has reduced the size of its workforce by 244,000 career employees since 2000 without resorting to layoffs,” said Brennan. “We are a responsible employer, and we will work with our employees to ensure a smooth transition to a much leaner organization.” Shawn Kelly, a spokesman for

that will attract bears. “Some people tell us they have no intention of taking down their bird feeders, but we’re looking for people to help out by making sure there’s nothing on their property attracting bears.” Williams added that feeding birds during this time of year isn’t necessary to their survival. In areas where bear complaints are numerous, the PGC may set live traps to capture the bears and relocate them in a remote area. Williams said live trapping doesn’t guarantee that the bear won’t be back.

Postal cuts come in face of protests By HOPE YEN Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- The latest postal move to go forward with plans to consolidate 250 postal processing centers comes after vociferous protests from communities across the U.S., particularly those in rural areas, over the mail agency’s initial multibillion dollar cost-cutting plan to close up to 3,700 post offices and 252 mail processing centers. The Postal Service last week backed off the closing of post offices, saying it would cut costs instead by reducing operating hours. Thursday’s announcement seeks to allay some rural concerns about immediate, broadscale cuts to mail processing centers that would have slowed first-class mail delivery of prescription drugs, newspapers and other services beginning this summer and would have virtually eliminated the chance for a stamped letter to arrive the next day. Under the new plan, about 80 percent of the U.S. areas that currently enjoy overnight firstclass mail delivery will continue to do so through the end of next year. After that, barring congressional action, the Postal Service will proceed with additional steps that could slow first-class mail and reduce overnight delivery even further, said Megan Brennan, chief operating officer of the Postal Service. The Postal Service has been grappling with losses as firstclass mail volume declines and more people switch to the Internet to communicate and pay bills. The agency has forecast a record $14.1 billion loss by the end of this year. Without changes, it said, annual losses would exceed $21 billion by 2016. Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe stressed that even with its latest moves, the agency still faces mounting losses without congressional action that would give it more leeway to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce health and labor costs. If the U.S. House fails to act soon, postal officials say they will face a cash crunch in August and September, when the agency must pay more than $11 billion to the Treasury for future retiree health benefits. Already $13 billion in debt, the health payment obligation will force the agency to run up against its $15 billion debt ceiling, causing it to default on the payments. In many sprawling rural areas like Hope, Alaska, residents say they would have to drive nearly 100 miles for mail services in Anchorage if their local post office couldn’t stay open long enough. Timely delivery from mail processing centers is also particularly valued in the winter months, when hazardous road conditions can make travel to a store or pharmacy difficult if not impossible.

U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta, whose district includes Scranton, said there still may be time to save the center. “During his 17 months in office, Rep. Barletta learned that problems in Washington usually go unsolved until the very last minute, so he is hopeful the political wrangling can be put aside and a solution that protects the postal jobs can be found,” Kelly said. “We generally take them as far away as feasible on state land. It can be effective, but it’s not a cure-all,” he said. “If a bear wants to return, it will.” In Noxen, Rosa said he responded to two bear incidents last week alone. They took place on Stull Road, he said, and both were related to either garbage or birdseed attracting the bears. “The residence where the bear entered the sunroom, there was a birdfeeder and hummingbird feeder outside, and then you had the chest freezer, garbage can and a bag of birdseed. There were definitely some attractants for this bear,” Rosa said. “I’ve had a trap there since last week, but the bear hasn’t returned.”

Ride to Pimlico causes Motion sickness By DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

BALTIMORE — A year ago, Graham Motion was one of the most popular figures at Pimlico Race Course. As the trainer of Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, Motion had the lone horse in the Preakness field with a shot at winning the Triple Crown. “The pressure is on you,” the Englishman recalled Thursday. “The two weeks between the Derby and the

Preakness, I felt like I was holding my breath. You’re kind of walking on egg shells, hoping everything is going great with the horse.” Animal Kingdom came in second in the 2011 Preakness, a half-length behind Shackleford. Motion can’t get the outcome out of his mind — no matter how hard he tries. “We came that close,” Motion said, holding his index finger and thumb a half-inch apart. “I was quite shocked to see Shackleford’s picture on the

grandstand when I drove in this morning. That was kind of a pit in my stomach.” Motion will saddle Went the Day Well in the Preakness on Saturday. The bay colt finished fourth in the Derby two weeks ago but has won two of his four starts this year. Went the Day Well was bumped at Churchill Downs and forced to go seven wide in an effort to catch up. He rallied gamely under jockey John Velazquez, but couldn’t quite make up

enough ground to finish in the money. “He ended up much farther back than Johnny wanted in the Derby, and that’s probably what cost him being second. Maybe cost him the win,” Motion said. “It’s all about getting a good trip. There’s always going to be a horse in the Derby that doesn’t get a good trip, and that’s what makes it so hard to win the Triple Crown.” If Motion has his way, horse racing CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

A fantastic finish puts Gill & her teammates at the top of district

SCRANTON – Anyone who did not know where David Gawlas came from may have been shocked at the sight of a sprint final being won handily by a runner in Lane 1. Gawlas was comfortable there, however. After taking a risk early in Thursday’s District 2 Class 2A Track and Field Championships, the Holy Redeemer senior sprinter had the energy left to finish as one of the meet’s top performers and lead the Royals to a successful defense of their team title. “That’s our primary goal – to win the team championship,” Gawlas said after winning both the 100- and 200meter dashes and anchoring a 400 relay team that qualified for the May 25-26 state championships by finishing second. “That comes before any individual goals and I

SCRANTON – Cassandra Gill piled up the most points and collected gold medals for the Holy Redeemer girls Thursday in the District 2 Class 2A Track and Field Championships. When she was done winning two individual titles and contributing to another in a relay, Gill was able to appreciatethe many efforts that were part of the Royals repeating their district title by a comfortable margin. One in particular made Gill smile after Holy Redeemer outscored Lakeland, 141-95, for the team championship. “Everyone did so well,” Gill said. “Brianne Lagotski was second in the two mile and third in the mile. “She’s a senior and she had never placed before. We were all so happy for her. Everyone has just been working so hard

WILKES-BARRE – A longstanding rivalry in the area for high school tennis is Wyoming Seminary versus Scranton Prep. The two teams always seem to be the ones grabbing hardware when it comes time for the postseason, combining to win all 12 District 2 Class 2A team titles with seven going to the Blue Knights. Seminary has gotten the best of the Cavaliers the last two seasons as well, winning every gold medal possible in the district with team, singles and doubles titles. The Cavaliers ended that run on Thursday at Kirby Park. Their doubles team of Will Cognetti and Walker Temperton knocked off the Blue Knights’ top-seeded doubles team of Harry Parkhurst and Henry Cornell for the District 2 Class 2A doubles title winning in straight sets 6-1, 6-4. Parkhurst and Cornell were the defending champions of the tournament, defeating the same players for the 2011 title. “Obviously they go in with nothing to lose. This is their last chance, win or go home. We have some other things to do,” Parkhurst said. The other things Parkhurst was referring to is the Blue Knights’ second straight appearance at the PIAA Team Championships at the Hershey Racquet Club today and tomorrow. The team left Thursday night for today’s12:30 p.m. match against District 7 runner-up Hampton at the complex in Chocolatetown. Seminary, which advanced to the semifinals last year before losing to the eventual state champion in Holy Ghost Prep, is looking to claim its first team title since 2001, the inaugural PIAA Team Championship tournament. Holy Ghost Prep is not in this year’s event and the Knights defeated Hampton 5-0 in last year’s quarterfinals. The other two teams remaining in Wyoming Seminary’s half of the bracket are District 1 champ Harriton and D3 runner-up Lancaster Country Day; both of those teams didn’t qualify for last year’s tournament. Then next weekend, George Parkhurst will participate in the PIAA Singles Championships at the same venue. The loss on Thursday is not expected to be a bump in the road for the Blue Knights be-

WEST PITTSTON – Wyoming Area authored a comeback for the ages Thursday and erased a history of futility. Serra Degnan’s two-out single in the bottom of the seventh brought home Nicole Turner with the winning run as the Warriors claimed their first divisional title in 21 years with their 4-3 victory over BerWYOMING wick in WyomAREA ing Valley Conference softball. “This whole thing is just unBERWICK imaginable,” said Lexi Coolbaugh, a junior. “In 20 years, when we come back to the school, we’ll see our year up on the banner,” Turner said. “We didn’t put our heads down (trailing in the last inning). We never gave up.” Wyoming Area claimed the Division I West crown in the winner-take-all affair, its first championship since 1991. “Everyone was behind us. We were getting support from everywhere,” said Degnan, a junior. “Some of our teachers were on that team. They were looking at the banner, they were telling us about it, wishing us luck. This game meant something.” Coolbaugh started the Warriors’ rally by ripping a two-strike pitch down the right-field line for a triple leading off the seventh. “When I hit the ball, I thought I was stopping at first,” Coolbaugh said of her slicing drive. “Then I saw coach waving me on and I knew I had to actually run. I had to put the wheels on then.” Turner stepped in with the tying run 60 feet away and made the drawn-in Berwick infield a moot point, launching a double to the fence in center. It was the sophomore’s third hit of the day. After a strike out and a pop out, Degnan came to the plate with Turner still on second. Down to

Berwick’s X-factor DeNoia hits the spot By JAY MONAHAN For The Times Leader

there is a more improved player this year, BERWICK I’d like to see it. He’s been dominant in his outings, and he stepped up again, beating an exWYOMING cellent baseball team. AREA “Ultimately, Clay DeNoia was the x-factor tonight. He dominated the game.” Things didn’t start so smoothly for the Bulldogs in the first two innings. They grounded into a routine 6-4-3 double play to end the first. An inning later, Berwick put runners on second and third with one gone before Wyoming Area catcher Trent Grove orchestrated a tag at home plate before throwing out the runner at third base. Pinterich said the first two innings

WEST PITTSTON – Twice Berwick put two runners on base with one out. Twice the Bulldogs walked away with nothing to show for it. But Berwick overcame two unsuccessful innings at the plate to tally five unanswered runs and upend Wyoming Area by a 5-1 score. However, the Bulldogs’ offensive production was overshadowed by Clay DeNoia’s pitching performance. DeNoia struck out eight and did not allow an earned run in a four-hit complete game to notch a win. After the Bulldogs gave him a lead in the fourth, the junior hurler retired 12 of the final 13 batters. “Clay has been outstanding all year,” Berwick coach Brian Pinterich said. “It’s given us a chance to win every game.

Phillies survive bullpen meltdown The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Roy Halladay threw eight strong innings for his first victory in a month and the Philadelphia Phillies held on for an 8-7 win over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday night. Halladay (4-3) hadn’t won since April 16, a span of five starts, and had lost three straight decisions to match a career high, but held the Cubs to three runs and scattered seven hits. The two-time Cy Young winner has allowed three earned runs or fewer in eight of his nine starts this season. Chicago’s Welington Castillo’s stroked a two-out, threerun double in the ninth against Phillies LHP Jake Diekman to close the gap to two runs. Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon came on and allowed an RBI single to Darwin Barney, but got Reed Johnson on a grounder to third for his 11th save of the season. Mets 9, Reds 4

NEW YORK — David Wright lined his second double of the game, a tiebreaking drive in the eighth inning that raised his major league-leading average to .411 and sent the New York Mets past the Cincinnati Reds. Down 4-0, the Mets began their comeback in the middle innings. Ronny Cedeno’s three-run homer capped a five-run eighth against Logan Ondrusek (3-1), a burst that began with a neatly placed bunt single by backup catcher Rob Johnson with one out. Giants 7, Cardinals 5

SAN FRANCISCO — Brandon Crawford hit a two-run single for his first RBIs since April and the Giants capitalized on shoddy fielding by St. Louis to give Matt Cain support on a rare shaky day as the

The Orioles also improved to 12-1 when Jones goes deep, including a victory over the Royals the previous night, when his homer in the 15th inning decided the game. Brian Matusz (3-4) won for the third time in four starts after enduring a career-worst 12-decision losing streak. He allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk in six innings. Luke Hochevar (3-4) pitched well for six innings.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Kila Ka’aihue had a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning, and the Oakland A’s bounced back from a disputed call on squeeze play that cost them the lead to beat the Texas Rangers.

TORONTO — Jose Bautista and J.P. Arencibia each hit two-run home runs, Drew Hutchison won consecutive starts for the first time and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 4-1 Thursday night, sweeping their twogame series. New York lost its third straight and fell to 0-9 this season when failing to hit at least one home run. The Yankees, who have scored 12 total runs in nine losses this month, dropped a half game behind Toronto and into fourth place in the AL East. Making just his sixth major league start, Hutchison (3-1) allowed one run and five hits in six innings, matching his longest outing. He walked four and struck out three.

DETROIT — Justin Morneau hit a two-run homer in his second game back from a wrist injury, and the Twins swept the two-game series at Comerica Park. P.J. Walters (1-1) allowed four hits — including three solo homers — in 6 1-3 innings for the Twins Park. Minnesota

this season.” Lagotski followed Gill to the finish line in second place in the 3200 meters. She finished third in the 1600 but will replace Gill in that event at the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association Championships May 25-26 at Shippensburg University. District 2 gets two competitors in each event at the state meet. With Gill concentrating on the 3200 relay and 3200 run at the state level, Lagotski will finish her career as a two-event performer in Shippensburg. “That’s a case of hard work over time,” Holy Redeemer coach Sarge McFarlane said. “It certainly paid off for her today. “I’m very proud of Brianne’s efforts.” Gill and Lagotski will be making the trip with several teammates. Fallyn Boich won the discus and javelin. Her discus win made her the only girl to successfully defend a title on a day when four returning champions settled for second-place finishes and state berths in their events. Boich’s javelin title came at the expense of Emily Hughes of Holy Cross, last year’s champion. Julia Wignot edged defending champion Olivia Jendrezjewski of Hanover Area by 1 ¼ inches in a highly competitive triple jump. Wignot finished second as the defending champion in the long jump where she was beaten by GAR’s Quieterra Gross. Wignot was also part of Holy Redeemer’s other winning relay team in the 400. Melissa Cruz won the 800 and anchored the winning 3200 relay team as well as the second-place 1600 relay

team. “You put your best athletes together, you recognize their talent and sometimes you tell them they have to sacrifice a little for the greater good of the team,” McFarlane said. “That certainly happened today.” Mallory Kusakavitch and Jenna Nitowski joined Gill and Cruz to produce a convincing win in the 3200 meters, the first event to be completed. Wignot was joined by Mallory Kusakavitch, Marnie Kusakavitch and Melanie Kusakavitch in the 400 relay. Holy Redeemer’s Lagotski was not the only senior to experience a breakthrough. Tess Sauer of Meyers won both the 100- and 200-meter dashes. She finished fourth in the 100 as a sophomore and was fifth in both events last season. “I was hopeful,” said Sauer, who started the day seeded third in the 100 and fourth in the 200. “I was dreaming big, but I saw the other teams’ times. “I was hoping if I did not get first, I’d just get a good time to get into states.” Hanover Area’s Amy Viti won the 400 by more than two seconds when her 57.56-second finish made her the only girl to break a minute. GAR’s Gross was unable to defend her title in the 100 hurdles, but managed a second-place finish to return to the state meet in two individual events. Gross finished between Lakeland freshman Cassidy Jenkins and Lakeland senior Tori Doyle, the only girl to qualify for a trip to Shippensburg by meeting the state standard while placing third. Northwest’s Kirsten Walsh reached the state meet with a second-place finish in the 300 hurdles. Jenkins won both hurdles and Doyle made the state meet in three events to help Lakeland to its second-place finish. Northwest and Hanover Area placed fourth and fifth out of 18 teams.

think everyone on our team can attest to that.” Gawlas sacrificed one of the prime spots in the middle of the track for the final and risked not even making it through 200-meter qualifying by conserving energy in the preliminary round. Needing to make the top eight to advance, Gawlas had the seventh-best time in qualifying. “It was just a little close for comfort,” Holy Redeemer coach Sarge McFarlane said. “You have to be in it to win it.” While each of the other seven finalists had their times go up in the finals, Gawlas dropped his by six-tenths of a second to finish in 22.33 and win easily. “I think a few people were surprised by that,” said Gawlas, who was a runner-up to teammate Seth Tarselli in both sprints last season. “Coach told me to relax a little bit. I had four more races. It was a bit of a gamble, but I was lucky enough to make the final. “I was confident. I still had a lot of energy left after that.” McFarlane said the inside lane was not such a bad position for a Holy Redeemer runner. “For where we practice at Kirby Park, the only real place you can run is in Lane 1,” McFarlane said. Holy Redeemer opened the day by immediately taking the lead in the team standings when Vincent Villani, Vinay Murthy, Josh Foust and Frazee Sutphen produced a win in the 3200 relay. The Royals compiled 99 points to beat out Holy Cross, which finished with 80½. Holy Cross was led by Rico Galassi, the only two-time individual winner besides Gawlas, and the only record-setter on the day. Galassi broke the district’s

nine-year-old mark in the 3200 meters by almost nine seconds in 9:19.51. Hanover Area was third with 64½ points. The Hawkeyes had three of the Wyoming Valley Conference’s other six champions. Tony Dennis and Martin Steve repeated as champions of the shot put and discus. Matthew Clemons took the title in the triple jump. GAR got titles from Shaliek Powell in the 300 hurdles and Lucas Benton in the 400. Jacob Bevan won a title for Lake-Lehman in the 800. The top two in each event made the state meet. Bevan also made it in the high jump by finishing second. Mitchel Ford qualified for Holy Redeemer in the 1600. The other second-place finishers from the WVC were Northwest freshman Tyler Burger in the 110 high hurdles and Hanover Area’s Carl Daubert in the 300 hurdles. Lake-Lehman finished seventh and GAR eighth out of 19 teams. GAR managed that despite going without Darrell Crawford, whose career has included multiple district titles and state medals. Crawford, the defending champion in the 100 hurdles, long jump and triple jump, was unable to complete hurdles qualifying because of an upper leg injury. He received treatment in the medical tent during preliminary jumps in the long jump, but was not able to compete by the time his third attempt came around and had to scratch. Mid Valley’s Antonio Russo in the 100 meters was the only athlete to reach the state meet by hitting a qualifying standard in a third-place finish. Lake-Lehman’s Kieran Sutton will compete in Shippensburg after placing third because Galassi scratched from the 1600 for the state meet.

were “a good sign because we felt we got to them early and continued to get some scoring chances.” Things began to unravel for the Warriors defensively. With the Warriors down 2-1 in the fifth inning, an errant pickoff move scored Berwick’s Anthony Melito. Berwick put the game away in the sixth off more Wyoming Area miscues. Following two errors, a fly ball to right field resulted in a third error – and two runs – giving the Bulldogs a 6-1 lead. “With how we’ve been swinging the bat, we could put some pressure on some teams with our speed,” Pinterich said. “It finally paid off for us. They broke a little bit defensively. We took advantage with our speed.” Will Morales, TJ Lashock and Eric May led the Bulldogs with two hits apiece. Melito drove in a run with a double. For Wyoming Area, Jake Granteed manufactured two hits and reached base in all three of his atbats. Erik Walkoviak produced the Warriors’ lone RBI. Berwick 5, Wyoming Area 1

cause Parkhurst and Cornell will go back to playing at No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively this weekend. “I think for us, it’s a tough loss, but nothing has changed and we’re still completely focused for this weekend,” Cornell said. “And that’s the primary goal of the season, a state championship.” The Cavaliers team appeared to have a little extra motivation in Thursday’s match. They jumped on Seminary, winning the first two games in the first set before closing out the match with four straight game wins. The second set was much closer as Parkhurst and Cornell won the opening game to forge a 1-0 lead after three

straight winners. The Knights looked to be getting back to the form they presented last year and even took a 2-1 lead in the set. But the Cavaliers were just too much and answered by winning the next three games to go up 4-2 before taking a 6-4 win. “The first set, they set the tone for the match with the intensity,” Cornell noted. “And then to come out of the hole in the second set, that really hurt us.” Seminary’s other semifinalist team, Christopher Kim and Willie Lu, also fell to the No. 2seeded Cognetti and Walker in the semis 6-1, 6-0. Parkhurst and Cornell defeated Prep’s Jay Patel and Matt Hanahue 6-2, 6-2 in the other semi. In the Class 3A final, Delaware Valley’s Andrew Neidig and Joe Hunt defeated Abington Heights’ Jai Redkar and Dan Jasinski in straight sets.

Ortiz turns first victory Eagles’ McCoy for SWB into a milestone gets new deal through 2017

The Times Leader staff

TOLEDO, Ohio – Ramon Ortiz, who has 86 career major league victories over a span of 11 seasons, picked up his first win as a member of the Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre Yankees on Thursday night in a 4-1 triumph over the Toledo Mud Hens. Ortiz (1-3) struck out eight Mud Hens in seven innings and allowed just two hits and one walk. Of his 90 pitches, 62 were strikes. Toledo did not reach base until there were two outs in the fourth inning. The Mud Hens did not have a hit until the fifth inning. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is the 20th professional team Ortiz has posted a victory for in a 17year pro career. Another former major leaguer, Manny Delcarman, pitched the ninth for his first save of the season. A four-run fourth inning was all the support Ortiz needed. Ronnier Mustelier delivered the big blow, a home run to left to plate three. Steve Pearce, who earlier drove home Colin Curtis with a single, and Jack Cust, who had walked, scored on the

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles Thursday agreed to terms with running back LeSean McCoy on a five-year contract extension that runs through 2017. McCoy set franchise records in 2011 with 17 touchdowns rushing, and 20 total scores, while earning All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors. He also led the NFL with 102 first downs and 48 runs of 10-plus yards, while finishing as the league’s fourthleading rusher with 1,309 yards. In 2010, McCoy ranked fourth in the NFL with 1,672 yards from scrimmage while leading all running backs with a career-high 78 catches. Philadelphia had a disappointing 4-8 start last season, before rallying with four straight wins to end the year. The Eagles did not make the playoffs. “We are excited to continue this offseason of taking care of our own players,” coach Andy Reid said.

HAZLETON — The senior ceremony was following a victory, but that wasn’t making things any easier on Gino Cara. The Hazleton Area baseball coach had just watched a group of his seniors come through for a critical 6-4 win over Coughlin on Thursday at Antinozzi Field. After the game it was time to give them their sendoff. “I’ll tell you what, this senior class is a special class,” Cara said. “I mean, they’ve been with me forever. Right now I don’t want to even go through the senior ceremony, to be honest with you. “They played, they contributed, they worked hard. … Certainly our record doesn’t indicate what we’re capable of, but we’re playing good baseball right now.” And that hard work has kept the Cougars (8-6) in the hunt for a division title and possibly another home game. They moved ahead of Coughlin with the win and into a first-place tie with Pittston Area in Division I East with one game to play. Both Pittston Area and Hazleton Area will be at Hollenback Park on Saturday. The Patriots play their season finale against Holy Redeemer at noon. Then at 4 p.m., the Cougars will finish a game they started with the Royals on Wednesday with the score tied 7-7 at the start of the 10th inning. If both squads remain tied after Saturday, they will have a special playoff game for the division crown on either Sunday or Monday, with the time and site to be determined. To reach that point, however, the Cougars first needed a strong effort against Coughlin. And four seniors in particular carried the day. Tyler Rubasky and Carl Cara both hit a pair of RBI singles, one apiece in the third and fourth innings. Brady Wolfe had an inspiring at-bat to lead-off the bottom of the fourth, fouling off a series of balls before sending the 10th pitch he saw well over the fence in right field to tie the game at 3-3. Anthony Zaloga pitched a complete game, holding on through 120 pitches. He finished with six strikeouts and overcame a leadoff single in the seventh with three straight outs to close the deal. “He wanted the ball the last inning,” Gino Cara said. “It’s a senior day game … and he said, ‘I’ve got three more outs.’ And I said, ‘You’ve got it.’ ” Coughlin had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth after Dave Marriggi lined a two-run single with two strikes on him and two outs. But Wolfe answered with his solo shot in the home half of the frame before Rubasky and Carl Cara grabbed the lead right back. The Crusaders, meanwhile, had a few close calls on the bases go against them and a few miscues they’d like to have back. “We played dumb baseball,” Coughlin coach Moe Rodzinak said. “Kids don’t know how to run the bases. We got a couple tough calls. That’s just the way it went today.” Joe Parsnik and Dom Gulius each had a pair of hits for the Crusaders, who finished the regular season at 8-7. Ace Josh Featherman suffered his only loss in league play, striking out three in four innings of work. “Josh didn’t have his best stuff today,” Rodzinak said. “When his curveball’s on, it’s almost unhittable. It was hanging today. But even without his best stuff, we were still in the game with them. … As bad as things went we still had a chance. We still had our chances. “We just couldn’t get that hit when we needed it.”

For the first time in school history, Hazleton Area’s scarlet numbers and lettering were swapped out for pink for Thurs-

Carol Rubasky, mother of senior catcher Tyler, is a breast cancer survivor and got to throw out the first pitch to her son. “I think it’s great that the school and the school district allowed us to do that, and it turned out to be a really good thing,” Gino Cara said.

INDIANAPOLIS — Roy Hibbert had 19 points and 18 rebounds, George Hill scored 20 and Danny Granger 17 as the Indiana Pacers, showing more balance, toughness and togetherness than Miami, throttled the Heat 94-75 on Thursday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Overlooked during the regular season and given little chance to upset the reigning East champions, the Pacers took a 2-1 lead in the best-ofseven series. Game 4 is Sunday at raucous Bankers Life Fieldhouse. LeBron James scored 22 — 16 in the first half before wearing down — and Mario Chalmers added 25 for Miami. However, Dwyane Wade scored only 5 on 2-of-13 shooting for the Heat, already missing forward Chris Bosh because of a strained abdominal muscle and not expected to return for this series. Indiana outscored Miami 51-32 in the second half, when the Pacers could do no wrong. They made big shots, challenged everything the Heat tossed in the air and didn’t back down from a Miami team that appeared poised to make an easy run to the NBA finals after top-seeded Chicago lost Derrick Rose and was eliminated in the first round. The Pacers, though, have other plans. In the second half, Indiana forward David West flung James to the floor in the lane, and Granger later got in the superstar’s face after a foul on a breakaway. After winning Game 2 in South Florida by three points, the Pacers wanted to show they’re for real. Believe it. They’re two wins from tilting the balance of power in the East. With his team down 20 in the closing minutes, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra waved the white flag and pulled out first Wade, then James, who quickly removed his headband as he got to the bench and then pulled out the mouthpiece inscripted with XVI — the Roman numeral for 16 — or the number of wins it takes to get a championship. When the final horn sounded, the three-time MVP quickly exited the floor. Indiana busted open a grind-it-out game with a 17-3 run in the third quarter, doing it with an inside-outside attack that had the Heat wondering what was coming next. Pushed by a rocking home crowd wearing “Gold Swagger” T-shirts and chanting “Beat The Heat” every chance they could, the Pacers pushed their lead to 6955 after three and then held off one brief run by the Heat in the fourth quarter.

Torch gets passed on to London

Flame burns bright for 2012 Games despite rain as Greece watches it go. By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press

Defending champ falls on day full of upsets The Associated Press

GLADSTONE, N.J. — Defending champion Suzann Pettersen didn’t last long at the Sybase Match Play Championship, and neither did three well-known Americans. The third-ranked Pettersen was eliminated 3 and 1 by relative unknown Jodi Ewart of England on Thursday in the first round of the LPGA Tour event, while Paula Creamer, Brittany Lincicome and Michelle Wie lost to some equally obscure fellow Americans. Creamer, the No. 8 seed, was beaten 2 and 1 by Jennifer Johnson, the No. 57 seed. No. 9 seed Lincicome was ousted 2 and 1 by No. 56 Ryann O’Toole. The 20th-seeded Wie was knocked out by No. 45 Mina Harigae, 3 and 2. Yani Tseng, Na Yeon Choi and Cristie Kerr, the world’s Nos. 1, 2 and 5 players, barely advanced to the second round, while the day ended with No. 4 ranked Ai Miyazato being surprised 2-up by Mariajo Uribe in the final match at Hamilton Farm Golf Club.

Bradley in the event. Marc Leishman and Alex Cejka were a stroke back. Matt Kuchar, coming off a victory Sunday in The Players Championship last weekend, was two strokes back at 66 along with Scott Piercy, Charley Hoffman, Bill Lunde, Blake Adams, Dicky Pride and Andres Gonzales. Last year, Palmer birdied the 72nd hole to force a playoff, then hit his approach on the first extra hole into the greenside water and lost to Bradley, who opened his title defense with a 67. Phil Mickelson, back at the Nelson for the first time in five years, shot a 70.

will go another year without a Triple Crown winner. I’ll Have Another has assumed the role held by Animal Kingdom last year, and Motion is determined to deny the Derby winner from making it two in a row. “We’re going to try our best to make sure it doesn’t happen,” Motion said. “We’re going to make it hard for him. Let’s put it that way.” Motion has been operating in relative obscurity this week while I’ll Have Another trainer Doug O’Neill and Bob Baffert, trainer of Preakness favorite Bodemeister, are attracting much of the attention. “I’m more comfortable being under the radar,” Motion said.

He did, however, acknowledge that last year was far more exciting. “You come to the Preakness with the Derby winner, that’s pretty cool. It doesn’t get any better than that,” he said. “I’m more relaxed about it because the Triple Crown is over for us.” Barry Irwin heads the syndicate that owns Went the Day Well. That same syndicate owned Animal Kingdom, so Irwin can certainly sympathize with the way Motion is feeling this week. “It was not fun,” Irwin said. “But the horse, he just got too far back. ... Sure, I’d liked to have won, but he ran second. He ran a good race. I was happy. I was proud of him.” Irwin is excited about Saturday’s race, but nothing can duplicate the feeling he had before last year’s Preakness.

“It’s more intense because you know everybody’s concentrating on it and focusing on it,” he said. “It’s not just me and my partners, it’s everybody. So that adds a layer of tension to it.” Irwin hopes Bodemeister and I’ll Have Another get into a speed duel and fade toward the finish of the 1 3/16th mile race, providing Went the Day Well the opportunity to swoop in and steal a victory. “In the best of all possible worlds, I think Bodemeister, that Derby race has got to tell something on him,” Irwin said. “You can’t run as fast and as hard as he did and not have it affect you. I’ll Have Another, if he wants to win the Triple Crown or win the Preakness, the onus is on him to go after Bodemeister. And if both those things happen, and my horse breaks cleanly, I hopefully will be the beneficiary.”

A torchbearer runs with the Olympic flame during a handover ceremony at Panathenaean stadium in Athens on Thursday. The torch begins its 70-day journey to arrive at the London Olympics.

US picks women’s Olympic water polo team LOS ANGELES — Four-time Olympians Brenda Villa and Heather Petri are among 13 athletes selected for the U.S. women’s water polo team for the London Games. The roster announced Thursday includes three collegiate players from Stanford — Annika Dries, Melissa Seidemann and Maggie Steffens, all of whom will be making their Olympic debuts. The trio didn’t enroll in school this year so they could train with the U.S. team. Villa and Petri have helped the U.S. to medals at every Olympics since women’s water polo was added to the schedule in 2000. The U.S. earned a silver in Sydney, a bronze at the 2004 Athens Games and a silver four years ago in Beijing. The Americans open the Olympic tournament on July 30 against Hungary.

Beckham headlined the U.K. dignitaries attending the twilight ceremony and there was a hearty guffaw among Britons as he was introduced — incorrectly — as “Sir David.” He is not a knight. Princess Anne, a former British Olympic equestrian, took possession of the fire. “The eyes of the world are swiveling to London,” Johnson said with delight. The handover also marked a poignant moment for Greece as well. Greeks like to point out that the Olympics — while terrific — were not the only enduring concept they dreamed up. Dominique Molin, a 52-yearold former French teacher who ventured out to see Princess Anne tour a center where horses are used to help disabled children, noted that Europe absorbed many ideas championed by

BEL L ES

the ancient Greeks — like democracy — to say nothing of honoring its art and culture. And even despite their economic hardships, the majority of Greeks in a recent poll say they want to stay in the 17-nation eurozone. “We belong to Europe,” Molin said. “We want to be part of it.” She thought the torch relay helped the country’s battered image. “It shows that there are things still working here,” she said. The flame will fly Friday — with its own seat and security agent — on British Airways Flight 2012, an Airbus painted gold at the nose. Shielded in a miner’s lantern, the flame will first land at a naval air station in Cornwall, before the Royal Navy flies it to Land’s End, the furthest point west in England. Once in Britain, the Olympic

torch heads off Saturday on a 70day relay — an Anglophile’s dream tour that ventures through hill and dale to embrace everything from cool Britannia to Stonehenge. The journey ends at London’s Olympic Stadium for the July 27 opening ceremony. Some 8,000 torchbearers will carry the fire, mostly local people who have worked to better their communities. Olympic organizers hope that by giving the torch to community heroes, they will bring the spirit of the games to a country not necessarily willing to receive it. The London Olympics has cost 9.3 billion pounds ($14.6 billion) — a large sum for a country grappling with economic austerity — and some in Britain worry about what happens when the games end Aug. 12. The future of the massive Olympic stadium, in particular, remains in doubt. Coe acknowledges there are still many tasks to conquer and questions to resolve. He says the choice of the final torchbearer hasn’t even been discussed yet. But there is one person you can cross off that list. Coe, a former gold medalist, says it won’t be him.

ATHENS, Greece — The Olympic torch was passed to London — witnessed, appropriately, by hundreds of Greeks huddled under umbrellas. Seeking some relief from the country’s economic and political woes, Greeks sat on the stone steps of the ancient stadium in Athens on Thursday to watch the ceremonial handover of the Olympic flame to the organizers of the 2012 London Olympics. They cheered the Greek national anthem. They cheered 88 schoolchildren belting out “God save the Queen.” They went nuts when U.K. soccer star David Beckham was announced. But they really roared when they saw the fire. “The flame belongs to the world,” London Olympic chairman Sebastian Coe said. “The arrival of the flame in the host nation is a clarion call to the athletes and young people in more than 200 nations and territories preparing to gather for the London 2012 Games.” There were jokes about the pouring rain — more London than Athens surely — with London Mayor Boris Johnson joshing that everyone would just have to get used to it. But the clouds actually pushed back for a few short minutes, giving the robed dancers, the drummers and the decorative Greek guards a chance to parade around, pompom shoes bouncing. The flame was passed. No soaked cauldron. “Once the flame is lit, for all intents and purposes, the Games start,” Coe told reporters. The flame was lit last week at the Temple of Hera in Olympia, and has been making its way around Greece in a relay. Despite a political crisis, a financial debacle and the unusual weather, Greeks were heartened by their eternal link to the Olympics. “I am Greek and I am proud to be Greek,” said Konstantina Giannpoulos, 27, a drenched physical education teacher who clutched a plastic blue-andwhite Greek flag. “I want to honor my country.”

Versa to buy newspapers

An affiliate of Philadelphia-based private equity firm Versa Capital Management LLC has reached an agreement to purchase four newspapers from Freedom Communications. The papers included in the deal are: The Telegraph in Alton, Ill., The Journal-Courier in Jacksonville, Ill., The Sedalia Democrat in Sedalia, Mo., and The Lima News in Lima, Ohio. Versa owns Impressions Media, the parent company of The Times Leader, Go Lackawanna, the Dallas Post and several other publications and news websites. Last year the company also purchased Ohio Community Media, which operates 14 daily newspapers, 30 weeklies and a collection of shoppers and niche publications, as well as various online applications. The transaction, terms of which were not disclosed, is expected to close within the next 30 days. “With their commitment to providing the accurate and timely information that their communities want and deserve, these properties showcase, through the hard work of their associates, what community journalism is all about. We believe that commitment and tradition will be carried on by the new ownership,” said Freedom CEO Mitch Stern. “We are very pleased to have reached an agreement to acquire the assets of Freedom’s Central Division to add to our growing platform of community newspaper assets, including Ohio Community Media,” said Gregory L. Segall, CEO of Versa Capital Management.

Facebook Inc. sets its stock at $38 per share

NEW YORK — Facebook has priced its initial public offering of stock at $38 per share, at the high end of its expected range. It means investor demand is strong for the world’s largest online social network. Facebook Inc. and its early investors now stand to reap as much as $18.4 billion from the IPO, if the extra shares reserved to cover additional demand are sold as part of the transaction. Without the extra shares, the offering raises $16 billion. The IPO values the company at around $104 billion, above Amazon.com, Disney and Kraft. The offering is shaping up to be one of the largest in history — a big payoff

Wal-Mart reports 10.1 percent increase in first-quarter profit By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO AP Retail Writer

NEW YORK — Wal-Mart’s U.S. business finally got its groove back. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. reported a 10.1 percent increase in first-quarter profit that beat Wall Street estimates as its reemphasis on low prices drove bargainhungry U.S. shoppers into its stores. The world’s largest retailer also offered an upbeat profit outlook for the current quarter, and its shares rose 4 percent. The strong results signal a turnaround at Wal-Mart’s U.S. business, which had suffered during the econom-

centers that hold the trove of status updates, photos and videos shared by Facebook’s 900 million users. It means more money to hire the best engineers to work at its sprawling Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, or in New York City, where it opened an engineering office last year. And it means early investors, who took a chance seeding the young social network with start-up funds six, seven and eight years ago, can reap big rewards. Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist who sits on Facebook’s board of directors, invested $500,000 in the company back in 2004. He’s selling nearly 17 million of his shares in the IPO, which means he’ll get about $640 million.

for a company that started out eight years ago with no way to make money. The $38 price tag is what the investment banks orchestrating the offering will sell the stock to their clients. Facebook’s stock is expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market sometime Friday morning under the ticker symbol “FB.” That’s when so-called retail investors can try to buy the stock. Facebook is the third-highest valued company to ever go public, according to data from Dealogic, a financial data provider. Only the two Chinese banks have been worth more. For the Harvard dorm-born social network that reimagined how people communicate online, the stock sale means more money to operate the data

Once colder weather returns later this year, UGI Penn Natural Gas customers will pay less to heat their homes as the utility passes along the lower wholesale cost of the fuel. UGI Penn Natural Gas said Thursday the average residential heating customer’s bill will drop by 4.5 percent on Dec. 1 pending approval by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission of the utility’s purchased gas cost rate or what it pays for the natural gas. The utility that serves approximately 158,000 customers in 13 counties in northeastern and central Pennsylvania will file its annual rate on June 1. It can adjust the cost quarterly in response to market fluctuations. UGI Penn Natural Gas and other utilities do not mark up the price they pay for the fuel and pass along the purchased cost to their customers. The cost has been trending lower in part due to natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale, said Vicki O. Ebner, senior vice president, customer and government relations with the utility. Monthly bills for UGI Penn Natural Gas customers are 40 percent lower than four years ago. According to the utility, the bill for a typical residential retail heating customer using approximately 89 hundred cubic feet of natural gas a month will decrease to $90.25 from $94.50. Likewise, commercial and industrial retail customers will pay less. According to the utility, the bill for a typical commercial retail customer using 26.2 thousand cubic feet a month will decrease to $214.31 from $226.33. The bill for a typical industrial retail customer using 405 thousand cubic feet a month will decrease to $2,844.19 from $3,029.12.

Today will be another stunning day and in my view, end up being one of the top ten nicest days of the year. My conﬁdence level is also high with issuing a guarantee you’ll be satisﬁed with tomorrow’s weather as well. Indeed we can expect more intense sunshine filtered through some cloudiness, and afternoon highs will flirt with 80. With a storm along the coast, Sunday may not be sunny but still there’s a good chance for the dry weather to continue. Some rain could arrive on Monday. To date, our rainfall this year is 11.8” less than last year. - Tom Clark
