Ciavarella appeals conviction Attorneys: Judge Edwin Kosik showed bias against ex-judge and should have recused self. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

76ERS FORCE GAME 7 PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jrue Holiday scored 20 points, and Elton Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the toughand-determined Philadelphia 76ers past the Celtics, 82-75 Wednesday to send the Eastern Conference semifinals back to Boston for Game 7. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo could be playing their last game together Saturday night if they can’t find a way to put away a Sixers team that won’t quit. The Celtics shot just 33 percent and committed 17 turnovers. Page 1B

The federal judge who presided over former Luzerne County Judge Mark Ciavarella’s corruption trial “fell prey” to the public outcry and media attention surrounding the case, leading him to issue biased rulings, Ciavarella’s

attorneys said in an appeal filed Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik took several questionable actions, including responding to letters sent to him by people seeking a stiff punishment for Ciavarella, that warranted his recusal from the case, attorneys Al Flora Jr. and William Ruzzo said in an appeal filed with the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. “To a reasonable person, the totality of Judge Kosik’s pre-trial and trial conduct conveyed a

message that he loathed Ciavarella and believed he accepted bribes, thus warranting his disqualification,” the attorneys said. Kosik’s actions are among eight issues Flora and Ruzzo cite in arguing to overturn Ciavarella’s conviction and 28-year prison sentence relating to his acceptance of nearly $1 million from Robert Mericle, the builder of the PA and Western PA Child Care juvenile detention centers. The bulk of the appeal focuses on Kosik, and how his alleged bi-

as led him to issue improper rulings that Ciavarella’s attorneys say “gutted” his defense. Those rulings included Kosik’s limiting the questioning of attorney Robert Powell, the co-owner of the two juvenile centers, and his refusal to allow the jury to hear that Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod had once said the money Mericle paid “was not a kickback or bribe.”

“To a reasonable person, the totality of Judge Kosik’s pre-trial and trial conduct conveyed a message that he loathed Ciavarella and believed he accepted bribes, thus warranting his disqualification.”

rt restoration experts from Evergreene Architectural Arts, of New York City, use a special lift setup in the rotunda of the Luzerne County Courthouse to examine a painting of a woman representing the law on Wednesday. The painting is on a burlap material that was attached to the plaster. It is one of four works representing areas of law. The art is just under the courthouse dome, where leaks have been fixed. The courthouse, which is more than a century old, is undergoing a major restoration program. For the story, see 3A.

pass, the Naples News reports, citing Florida Highway Patrol information. One of the four Sordoni brothers, along with Bill, Andy and Steven, George was involved in Commonwealth Telephone and the family construction business before he left to take more active volunteer roles at Wyoming Seminary and Geisinger Foundation. A Wyoming Seminary graduate, he was a member of the board of trustees since 1980, holding the

chairmanship for 15 years from 1993-2008. “It’s not common for someone to hold that position for so long,” noted John Shafer, vice president of advancement at the school. “That spoke to the respect his colleagues on the board had for him.” The private school, with its lower school in Forty Fort and upper school in Kingston, has had a rough stretch the past year.

WILKES-BARRE — Conrad Schintz called it “heartbreaking” when a finalist for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry’s top post backed out at the last minute earlier this year. But the chamber board’s chairman said, in retrospect, it was a blessing in disguise. On Wednesday, the chamber’s board voted to hire William D.

Moore, 59, as the new chief executive officer of the organization. He will begin his new duties on June 4. Moore “We are pleased to welcome Mr. Moore to our organization and to Northeast Pennsylvania,” said Schintz. “He brings the expertise, energy,

planning, communication and management skills required to move the chamber and our community forward.” And he is someone to whom the chamber might never have been introduced if it weren’t for an unnamed finalist from New York who was offered the position in February and accepted before withdrawing his candidacy at the 11th hour. “We believe we have the right

guy,” Schintz said. An organizational management professional with 33 years of experience, Moore is a principal with Organization Dynamics in Connecticut. He counsels chambers of commerce, trade associations and other organizations regarding governance, governmental relations, media, marketing, member development See CHAMBER, Page 14A

EDWARDSVILLE – At about the same time state police investigators recovered a handgun from a kitchen sink cabinet of a Main Street apartment, George Lee Barnes was discharged from Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township. Barnes State police continued searching Wednesday for Barnes, 22, who is wanted in the deadly shooting of Damon Rhasha Trollinger, 26, at the Eagle Ridge apartment complex on Lawrence Street on May 16. An arrest warrant charging Barnes with criminal homicide was issued late Tuesday afternoon. Barnes was at the hospital to be treated for gunshot wounds to his chest and head. He claimed a Hispanic male shoved a handgun against his head while he was visiting a friend in Building 6 at Eagle Ridge, according to the criminal complaint. Barnes told investigators two shots were fired at him during a struggle for the handgun. Trollinger was found with a gunshot wound outside Building 6. He was pronounced dead at the scene by Luzerne County Acting Coroner William Lisman. Investigators searched Barnes’ apartment at 573 Main St. on May 17, and allegedly found a bloody T-shirt and a .22caliber revolver wrapped in a jacket hidden in a kitchen cabinet. Barnes left Geisinger at about 10:55 a.m. the same day. At the time Barnes was released from the hospital, he was not a suspect in the deadly shooting. Trooper Martin Connors said Barnes is considered armed and dangerous. A witness told investigators Barnes and two other people walked to the apartment building to meet Trollinger to buy marijuana. Barnes stayed outside and rushed through a rear glass door brandishing a handgun, according to the criminal complaint. See BARNES, Page 14A

COURT BRIEFS WILKES-BARRE – WilkesBarre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich will stand trial in July on charges relating to a driving under the influence case, a county senior judge said Wednesday. Yuknavich appeared briefly Wednesday in Luzerne County court, where his attorney, Barry Dyller, called the case for trial. Senior Judge Hugh Mundy said it will begin on July 9 for Yuknavich, charged with two counts of DUI and one count of careless driving after police stopped him near a Plains Township home in November. Dyller is seeking to have the

charges against his client thrown out, alleging police stopped and detained Yuknavich because he was near the residence of a woman who had a protection-from-abuse order against him. That PFA, Dyller argues in court papers, did not prohibit his client from driving past her home. WILKES-BARRE – Prosecutors may use evidence that an alleged murderer had a gun in his possession in December during a traffic stop, a county judge ruled Wednesday. Judge Fred Pierantoni, after a hearing least week, denied a request by Stanley Davis’ attorneys to have the evidence

POLICE BLOTTER

thrown out of his June 11 trial. Police say Davis, 46, shot his girlfriend, Carlotta SpringerHoward, in front of her 18-yearold son, Fred Lassiter, inside their Sterling Street apartment. Her two younger children also were in the apartment. Davis’ attorney, William Ruzzo, argued an officer couldn’t have seen a gun in plain view during a traffic stop of a van driven by Stanley. Police said the van matched that of a getaway vehicle from the shooting. Pierantoni ruled the officer who stopped Davis’ vehicle had a “valid concern” that Davis may have been involved in a shooting and that “it was immediately apparent” the gun was “incriminating.”

HAZLETON – Police Wednesday charged 18-year-old Luis Gonzalez of Hazleton with homicide by vehicle and other charges related to a fatal crash on Oct. 25, 2011, on Club 40 road.

Lupas to be confined for competency test

A doctor is appointed to determine if the lawyer facing mail fraud charges is competent for trial. By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – A federal judge on Wednesday ordered attorney Anthony Lupas to be placed in a facility for up to 30 days pending the completion of a psychiatric examination to determine his competency to stand trial on fraud

charges. U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani appointed Dr. Richard Fischbein of Kingston to conduct the examination and to issue a report of his findings Lupas within 30 days. The judge also directed Lupas be taken into custody by the attorney general “for placement in a suitable facility” until the examination is complete, with the placement not to exceed 30 days. The

order does not specify the type of facility where Lupas will be housed or indicate when he will be taken into custody. Lupas, 77, of Plains Township, has been under house arrest since he was first arrested in March on charges he stole money from clients through a bogus investment scheme. Prosecutors took the case before a grand jury on May1, which issued a onecount indictment charging Lupas with mail fraud for allegedly stealing $246,000 from a client. Prosecutors have said they are continuing to investi-

Default payments sought

The Luzerne Bank is seeking to regain default payments on a loan borrowed by a city attorney charged with mail fraud for allegedly bilking clients in an investment scheme. Luzerne Bank says Anthony Lupas Jr. took out a $50,000 loan in May 2003. Since that time, Lupas has defaulted on payments, the banks says, and that they are owed nearly $50,000 plus interest. The entry of judgment was filed in Luzerne County court Wednesday. WHITE HAVEN

Man accused in drug sales

A city man was arraigned Tuesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges he sold heroin. Terrell S. Mattox, 28, last known address as Darling Street, was charged with two counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, and one count each of criminal use of communication facility and possession of a controlled substance. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $30,000 bail. State police at Wyoming allege Mattox sold heroin in the area of Brick Avenue and North River Street on Jan. 6, according to the criminal complaint.

gate claims by numerous other people who allege Lupas defrauded them out of millions of dollars. Lupas’ attorneys, William Ruzzo and Joseph Blazosek, had sought a competency hearing based on a medical report they reviewed that led to them to question whether Lupas is capable of understanding the charges against him. Mariani directed Lupas to submit to the examination and provide all pertinent medical records. Upon receipt of Fischbein’s report, a competency hearing will be held.

Talk about high art

Experts go up on lift to check courthouse décor around dome. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Art restoration experts rose up to 86 feet in a two-person lift inside the Luzerne County Courthouse this week to photograph and collect test samples of centuryold artwork in and around the dome.

The consultants, from the nationally renowned New York Citybased Evergreene Architectural Arts, will analyze the material and come up with a future restoration plan and estimated costs, said county Chief Engineer Joe Gibbons. County officials plan to tackle interior dome restoration in about three years, Gibbons said. Paintings of four women representing common law, statute law, moral law and equity are on a fine

burlap material adhered to the plaster, Gibbons said. The women are known as “pendentives” by county officials because they are in the triangular section of vaulting between the rim of the dome and supporting arches. County assistant engineer Christopher Belleman, who supervised the special lift, said the burlap material was attached in sections with adhesive and nails. He saw spots of See ART, Page 7A

WILKES-BARRE — A man charged with cooking methamphetamine in his Church Street house was serving a house arrest sentence on separate drunken driving convictions, according to court records. Jeffrey Deyo Sr., 41, was sentenced to 12 months house arrest in February, court records say. Deyo Sr. allegedly told authorities he had his son, Jeffrey Deyo Jr., 18, and other people acquire ingredients needed to cook methamphetamine because he was prohibited from leaving his house. Deyo Jr. claimed his father was the “cook,” according to the criminal complaints. Armed state agents raided the house Tuesday and found what they say was a methamphetamine lab. Arrest records say agents found lithium, lye, sodium, ammonium nitrate, cold medicine, methamphetamine reaction vessels, fuel and gas generators in the house. Deyo Sr. and his son were arraigned Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on four counts of possession of chemicals with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, two counts of possession with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, and one count each of causing a catastrophe, possession of a controlled substance, criminal conspiracy, manufacture of methamphetamine with a child, illegal dumping of methamphetamine waste and possession of a controlled substance. The father and son were jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $150,000 bail each. A 16-year-old girl from Nanticoke who was inside the house when agents served a search warrant on Tuesday was released to her parents, authorities said. Deyo Sr. was sentenced by Senior Judge Joseph Augello on Feb. 15 to 18 months probation with the first 12 months on house arrest after he pleaded guilty to two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol. Nanticoke police charged Deyo Sr. with drunken driving in May 2006, and Larksville police charged him with drunken driving in February 2006, arrest records say. Deyo Sr. refused to submit to blood tests after each traffic stop, according to arrest records. Deyo Jr. said he disposed of the waste used to cook meth in weekly trash collected by the city. Deyo Sr. allegedly admitted he has been cooking methamphetamine for about 18 months and for 2 ½ months at the Church Street house. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for May 31 in Central Court.

Protesters target Toohil over aid slashes, tax loopholes By STEVE MOCARSKY smocarsky@timesleader.com

HAZLETON — Angry with budget cuts to education and social services proposed by Gov. Tom Corbett and legislators’ failure to effectively close corporate tax loopholes, protesters rallied outside state Rep. Tarah Toohil’s office on Wednesday to demand what they called a

fair budget. Service Employees International Union memberJohnThomas,whodescribedhimself as “a concerned voter and proud memberofthe99percent,”saidCorbett’s proposal “cuts millions of dollars from education, critical services and health care” and protects tax loopholes that cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in annual reve-

nue. “While big corporations and the wealthy are doing just fine, the other 99 percent of America that aren’t millionaires are still struggling. What’s worse is that state legislators like Rep. Tarah Toohil are defending the inequality of cutting education for our kids by taking a proposed $100 million from our public schools,” Thomas said.

Jocelyn Lunney, of White Haven, said Crestwood School Board members are expected tonight to vote on eliminating teaching positions and cutting some middle school programs. “I want my legislator to stand up for my kids and not worry about protecting big See PROTEST, Page 14A

Area folks not ready to cut travel on Memorial Day A recent decrease in the price of gasoline could put still more people on the road.

CHEAPER NOW THAN IN 2008 The average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Wilkes-Barre on the Friday before each Memorial Day: Wednesday: $3.58 5/27/11: $3.76 5/28/10: $2.74 5/22/09: $2.40 5/23/08: $3.86

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

The unofficial start of summer is here and a survey by auto club AAA Mid-Atlantic shows about the same number of Wilkes-Barre area residents will travel 50 miles or more this Memorial Day weekend as did during last year’s holiday. The survey may not tell the real story, however, since it was conducted between April 20 and 24 – a time when gas prices were much closer to $4 per gallon than they are now. Wilkes-Barre gas prices peaked at $3.96 a gallon on April 6. On Wednesday, they were $3.58. “Now that prices are lower, it’s certainly possible that some folks who were on the fence may make a last-minute decision about Memorial Day weekend,” said Jenny Robinson, manager of public and government affairs for AAA MidAtlantic. “We expect that some families will check the weather

who said they’ll get to their destination by automobile. AAA said 34,926 of the 39,194 who said they’ll be traveling more than 50 miles this weekend will drive. Another 2,716 will fly to their destination. That number is down 6.2 percent from last

year. Gas prices in the region were 18 cents cheaper last year at this time. “As for airfare, the prices are up compared to last year, but it’s not just prices itself; it’s also the fact that consumers’ wallets were squeezed by high gas prices this spring. Moderate-income families were not able to save as much for their summer trips, so a nearby car trip is much more budget-friendly, especially now that gas prices have dropped,” Robinson said. The economy, which has been cited as the reason holiday travel has been down for most travel weekends the past few years, has gotten better this year but was offset by the spike in gas prices,

which have nearly doubled the past two years. “While the economy continues to improve slightly, consumers have felt the pain at the pump in recent months; yet, many will still travel,” Robinson said. “Local Memorial Day travel projections are up slightly over last year, but each household’s spending may vary depending on their economic circumstances. Some will compensate for reduced budgets by staying closer to home and cutting spending on hotels, restaurants and entertainment, while other households plan to spend more on travel.” That’s because they’ve gone too long without a vacation. Courtney Stabinsky, of Dallas, said she and her husband have not traveled outside of the 570 area code in four years for pleasure. This weekend will not change that as they plan to go to a barbecue at her brother’s house in Pike

County. But they are planning to go to Chicago this summer or fall to visit old neighbors who moved to the Windy City a decade ago. “We’ve never been and we keep saying we’re going to visit them. But then this thing happens or that thing happens and it’s Christmas and we say, ‘Maybe next year.’ Well, this year is next year,” Stabinsky said. The price of gas hasn’t helped the situation, but it’s not what’s solely prevented the pair from traveling. Medical costs for her husband and “house-related issues” were to blame. Nationally, AAA projects 34.8 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, an increase of 1.2 percent – or 500,000 travelers – from the 34.3 million people who traveled one year ago. The Memorial Day holiday travel period is defined as Thursday through Monday.

Iran, world powers duel over proposals

B R I E F

Meeting in Baghdad focused largely on the current enrichment level of Iran’s uranium production.

BAGHDAD — Iran and six world powers exchanged dueling proposals Wednesday in a tug of war over Tehran’s nuclear program that pits international concerns about the Islamic Republic’s potential to build atomic weapons against enforcing crippling sanctions on its people. The daylong back-and-forth in Baghdad focused largely on whether the current enrichment level of Iran’s uranium production is a red line the U.S. and other powers will not permit for fear it

could become warhead-grade material. Western negotiators presented a package combining new and old proposals offering Iran medical isotopes, some nuclear safety cooperation and potentially spare parts for civilian airliners. In exchange, Tehran would stop its 20 percent enrichment levels as a first step, according to a Western diplomat involved in the talks. The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations more candidly. Iran brought a potent bargaining chip to the table, tentatively agreeing on the eve of the negotiations to allow U.N. inspectors into a military complex suspected of conducting nuclear arms-related tests. The gesture was an attempt to head off painful July 1 sanctions on its oil exports to lucrative European markets. U.S. and European measures have targeted Iran’s oil exports — its chief reve-

nue source — and effectively blocked the country from international banking networks. But diplomats from the six world powers refused to consider the sanctions as a relevant part of the impasse. A member of Iran’s negotiating team, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks, predicted negotiations would continue Thursday. The talks are seen only as a small step forward in a delicate negotiating process that likely will unfold over months. That would likely bring objections from Israel, which claims that Iran is only trying to buy time to keep its nuclear fuel labs in full operation. But a delay could allow U.S. and European allies to tone down threats of military action — despite calls Wednesday from a hawkish alliance of U.S. senators who urged negotiators to take a

hard line against Iran “to leave no doubt that the window for diplomacy is closing.” “The Iranian regime’s long record of deceit and defiance should make us extremely cautious about its willingness to engage in good-faith diplomacy,” Republican Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and Independent Joe Lieberman, wrote in Wednesday’s editions of The Wall Street Journal. “The U.S. must be prepared, if necessary, to use military force to stop Iran from getting a nuclear-weapons capability.” The Baghdad meetings opened with the so-called 5+1 group — the permanent U.N. Security Council members, the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France, plus Germany — putting forward a proposal apparently aimed at reining in Iran’s highest-level uranium enrichment.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA

Sanctions blamed for woes

Syria’s oil minister blamed international sanctions Wednesday for shortages of cooking gas and other basic goods, saying the measures have bled $4 billion from the nation’s economy. President Bashar Assad’s regime must strike a delicate balance toward the U.S. and EU sanctions as it confronts a 15-month-old uprising against its rule, acknowledging their heavy toll while denying the regime’s grip on power is in any way shaken. Sufian Allaw said the punitive measures were to blame for the shortages that have left Syrians standing in long lines to pay inflated prices for cooking gas, fuel, sugar and other staples. The U.S. ambassador to Damascus denied the sanctions are to blame. PHILADELPHIA

Lynn defends self on stand

A Roman Catholic church official taking the stand in his own defense says Philadelphia’s ex-archbishop ordered staff to keep alleged victims of priest sexual abuse in the dark about other accusers. Monsignor William Lynn also says the late Cardinal Anthony Bevilacqua wouldn’t let parishes announce the real reason an accused priest was being removed. There’s been testimony that parishioners were often told their priest had health problems when he left for sex-offender treatment. Lynn says that “mental health” can be a health condition. Lynn said he also lacked authority to put a priest on leave or suspend him, and could only remove someone on one condition: “The only time I had that authority was if he admitted he had abused someone,” Lynn testified. Asked who at the archdiocese could transfer or suspend a priest, Lynn replied, “Only the bishop, the cardinal.” Lynn, 61, is the first Roman Catholic church official in the U.S. charged with a crime for his handling of complaints that priests were molesting children.

Egyptian voters argue with a solider as they wait to cast ballots in a southern suburb of Cairo, Egypt. On Wednesday morning, Egypt commenced two days of presidential voting after 16 months of interim rule by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces.

By SARAH EL DEEB and MAGGIE MICHAEL Associated Press

CAIRO — More than 15 months after autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, Egyptians streamed to polling stations Wednesday to freely choose a president for the first time in generations. Waiting hours in line, some debated to the last minute over their vote in a historic election pitting old regime figures against ascending Islamists. A sense of amazement at having a choice in the Arab world’s first truly competitive presidential election pervaded the crowds in line. At the same time, voters were fervent with expectations over where a new leader will take a country that has been in turmoil ever since its ruler for nearly 30 years was toppled by mass protests. Some backed Mubarak-era veterans, believing they can bring stability after months of rising crime, a crumbling economy and bloody riots. Others were horrified by the thought, believing the “feloul” — or “remnants” of the regime — will keep Egypt locked in dictatorship and thwart democracy. Islamists, particularly the Muslim

Brotherhood, saw their chance to lead a country where they were repressed for decades and to implement their version of Islamic law. Their critics recoiled, fearing theocracy. “You can’t tell me, ‘Vote for this or else you’re a sinner!’” Wael Ramadan argued with an Islamist-backer in line at a polling station in the impoverished Cairo neighborhood of Basateen. “We never said that,” protested the man. “Yes, you did,” Ramadan shot back. “The revolution changed a lot, for good and bad,” Ramadan, a 40-year-old employee at a mobile phone company, said afterward. “The good thing is all this freedom. We are here and putting up with the trouble of waiting in line for electing a president. My vote matters ... Now we want a president who has a vision.”

A field of 13 candidates is running in Wednesday and today’s voting. The twoday first run is not expected to produce an outright winner, so a runoff between the two top vote-getters will be held June 16-17. The winner will be announced June 21. Around 50 million people are eligible to vote. Turnout so far appeared moderate, and Wednesday’s vote was extended another hour. Many of the candidates have called for amendments in Egypt’s1979 peace treaty with Israel, which remains deeply unpopular. None is likely to dump it, but a victory by any of the Islamist or leftist candidates in the race could mean strained ties with Israel and a stronger stance in support of the Palestinians in the peace process.

HARRISBURG

Voter ID law hurdle lowered

State officials say they’re still trying to remove hurdles for people to get the kind of identification that’s required in Pennsylvania by one of the nation’s toughest voter ID laws. Secretary of State Carol Aichele said Wednesday the state can now certify the birth records of Pennsylvania natives without them having to pay $10 for a duplicate birth certificate with a raised seal. A birth certificate is one of the documents required to get a state photo ID for the first time. A person seeking an ID must visit a PennDOT drivers’ license center. Pennsylvania’s two-month-old voter ID law is being challenged in court by 10 registered voters, including some who say they can’t get a valid ID because their birth states don’t have their birth certificate on file.

Man pleads guilty to Obama Facebook threat By CURT ANDERSON AP Legal Affairs Writer

president’s head and asked if anyone wanted to help in a presidential assassination. There’s no indication Serrapio intended to act on the threats. His lawyer says Serrapio never wanted to hurt the president. Serrapio studies music business at Miami-Dade College and is also a rock musician.

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — A doctor who helped the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was convicted Wednesday of conspiring against the state and sentenced to 33 years in prison, adding new strains to an already deeply troubled relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan. U.S. officials had urged Pakistan to release the doctor, who ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify the al-Qaida leader’s presence at the compound in the town of Abbottabad where U.S. commandos killed him in May 2011 in a unilateral raid. The lengthy sentence for Dr. Shakil Afridi will be taken as another sign of Pakistan’s defiance of American wishes. It could give more fuel to critics in the United States that Pakistan — which has yet to arrest anyone for helping shelter bin Laden — should no longer be treated as an ally. The verdict came days after a NATO summit in Chicago that was overshadowed by tensions between the two countries that are threatening American hopes of an orderly end to the war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of its combat troops by 2014. Islamabad was invited in expectation it would reopen supply lines for NATO and U.S. troops to Afghanistan it has blocked for nearly six months to protest U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops on the Afghan border. But it did not reopen the routes, and instead repeated demands for an apology from Washington for the airstrikes. Pakistan’s treatment of Afridi since his arrest after the bin Laden raid has in many ways symbolized the gulf between Washington and Islamabad. In the United States and other Western nations, Afridi was viewed as a hero who had helped eliminate the world’s most-wanted man. But Pakistan army and spy chiefs were outraged by the raid, which led to international suspicion that they had been harboring the al-Qaida chief. In their eyes, Afridi was a traitor who had collaborated with a foreign spy agency in an illegal operation on its soil.

A welcome mat yanked Feds’ new rent computations are creating hardship for some dependent on aid.

FAIR MARKET RENT

By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – City resident Doug Sarajian might say the fair market rent set by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development establishing rent payments for those receiving housing assistance is not so fair. “This is a tremendous hardship for me,” Sarajian, 67, a disabled veteran said. “I’m stuck paying (more towards rent) and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Sarajian, who rents an apartment from the WilkesBarre Housing Authority, recently has noticed the increase in the amount he pays toward his rent. He knew the $70 he pays toward his monthly rent of $350 was going to increase.. But what he didn’t expect was a 15 percent total increase, making his monthly payment $123. His minimal income will make it hard to contribute the extra money, Sarajian said. “This doesn’t make any sense to me at all,” he said. Fair market rent can affect almost anyone in a housing authority program, Dave Fagula, executive director of the Luzerne County Housing Authority said. According to The Times Leader archives, there are nearly 3,300 apartments or homes in the county’s five housing authorities, which include Hazleton, Nanticoke, Pittston and WilkesBarre. There are also 25 private developments in Luzerne County under contract with HUD to provide subsidized housing to low-income individuals and families. “HUD used to base their fair market rent on (U.S.) census data, setting it at the 40th percentile level in any particular community,” Fagula said. “They began using a new study, and that’s what they said reset the rents across the country.” With rates becoming lower

Fair market rent in Luzerne County (includes Scranton/WilkesBarre metropolitan area): 2011: Efficiency, $474; one bedroom, $566; two bedrooms, $679; three bedrooms $861; four bedrooms, $909. 2012: Efficiency, $438; one bedroom, $523; two bedrooms, $628; three bedrooms, $796; four bedrooms, $841 Fair market rent for other third-class counties in Pennsylvania for 2012: York County: Efficiency, $545; one bedroom, $626; two bedrooms, $795; three bedrooms, $960; four bedrooms, $995 Berks County: Efficiency, $591; one bedroom, $660; two bedrooms, $814; three bedrooms, $1,088; four bedrooms, $1,123

in 2012 than in 2011 in Luzerne County that means HUD is contributing less towards rents, makSarajian ing tenants responsible for a higher payment. That new formula takes into consideration census data, American Community Surveys and random digit dialing telephone surveys. Sarajian, who served in the U.S. Air Force from 1965 to 1967, said the formula HUD uses to determine fair market rent is “ridiculous” and so complex he doesn’t believe it can be an accurate amount. Sarajian receives a housing assistance voucher called VASH — Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing — which allows veterans to receive additional assistance in providing housing. Those vouchers fall under the fair market rent formula. Approximately 135 veterans take part in the VASH program in Northeastern Pennsylvania. HUD spokesman Brian Sullivan explained HUD must also look at the success rate of families using vouchers and the country has been in a housing crisis. The two other types of vouchers are a tenant-based Section 8 voucher, where a tenant gets a voucher and can go out to search for housing where a landlord will accept the voucher; and a project-based Section 8 voucher, which allows private landlords under contract with HUD to reserve some or all of their units to families who qualify, Sullivan said.

“Nationally, people are leaving home ownership (because of foreclosures) and getting into rental housing,” Sullivan said. “The price for rentals goes up. This could account for a greater contribution on behalf of renters.” That can also mean, Sullivan said, that housing authorities can adjust their fair market rent to meet local conditions. “(The price of rent) is cutting people off from looking throughout the community,” Fagula said. “Some have to go where rent is lower and maybe housing isn’t so great.” A voucher holder, he said, would be hard pressed to find housing in Kingston, Forty Fort and Wyoming because the rents there are a little higher. “Some tenants pay 30 percent of their gross income towards rent,” Fagula said. “Some can go up to 40 percent, but that’s the maximum.”

County’s 1st ethics code takes effect today People now allowed to report misconduct by county employees and officials. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County’s first ethics code takes effect today, allowing people to report misconduct by county employees and officials. The code requires employees and officials in county government and its outside boards and authorities to refrain from specific prohibited activity, including accepting gifts, hiring family members, misusing county property and providing special county services. “This code calls people to a higher standard,” said Margaret Monahan Hogan, chairwoman of the county’s Accountability, Conduct and Ethics Commission.

ter, doesn’t cover alleged violations before today’s effective date. Complaint forms and copies of the ethics code are available at the county manager’s office in the courthouse basement or on the ethics commission section of the county website, www.luzernecounty.org. The commission is requiring filers to sign complaints before a notary public, though the names of filers and the accused will remain confidential. “When you make a complaint, you’ve made a very serious allegation, so people have to swear to the statement,” Hogan said. The commission will publicly report the number and type of complaints but not the parties involved, she said. However, some outcomes may become public due to punishment imposed by the commission, such as employee terminations or fines for Belleman said he appreciated the rare opportunity to be near the art, including frescoes of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Franklin inside the dome. “When you see this art up close and personal, you’re very impressed with what our predecessors did,” Belleman said.

County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, Controller Walter Griffith, Manager Robert Lawton and citizen Vito Forlenza also serve on the commission. The commission must start a preliminary inquiry within 30 days if a complaint meets basic requirements. The inquiry must be terminated or opened as a full investigation within 45 days. Investigations should be completed within 60 days unless the commission requests up to 60 more days. The commission has the power to conduct interviews and issue subpoenas. If the evidence leans toward a possible violation, the commission must issue a findings report and allow the accused an opportunity to respond and admit or deny the allegations. The person under investigation may request a hearing. been cleaned in decades, Gibbons said. Crews will dismantle and remove the lift on Friday.

W. Wyoming gas project examined

UGI Energy Services highlights safety, benefits, but some are skeptical.

John and Kathy Sheedeep and Elizabeth Sheedeep

WEST WYOMING – The last two companies that sought to build a natural gas compressor station in Luzerne County, Chief and Williams, revised their plans to move the stations out-of-county amid vocal and sustained opposition from residents and drilling opponents. Now a third company, UGI Energy Services, is proposing to build another, this time off Fire Cut Road in West Wyoming, and at a meeting hosted by the Gas Drilling Awareness Coalition at the borough municipal building Tuesday the company may have gotten a taste of things to come. Lillian Harris, UGI manager of government and regulatory affairs, and other company representatives outlined the project to a packed room of more than 50

coalition members, council members, municipal officials and West Wyoming residents. She said the compressor station would be part of a larger project to extend the company’s Auburn pipeline, which currently runs from the Susquehanna County gas fields to northern Wyoming County, into northern Luzerne County. That project, expected to begin operating in August 2013, will reduce gas transportation costs in the Scranton/WilkesBarre market by 20 to 25 percent, resulting in lower gas bills for customers of UGI’s utility division, Harris said. She also said the pipeline and compressor stations would exceed federal requirements for safety and emissions, the station will be monitored at all times and it will be located approximately ½ mile from the nearest home, meaning noise should not be an issue. The assembled crowd was largely skeptical. Coalition member Janine Dy-

mond questioned Harris’ claim the project would create jobs, asking how many. Harris replied that it is already creating work for three architecture and design firms, will create 50 to 60 construction jobs and five or six long-term positions. “That’s not to be laughed at, in this day and age six jobs is six jobs, but let’s but it in perspective,” Dymond said. She also questioned why UGI would build the compressor station to serve Wilkes-Barre and Scranton in a primarily residential area rather than an industrial park. Mary Rodriguez asked whether the pipeline would cross wetlands and how, and referred to the recent spill of drilling mud during boring for Chief’s pipeline in Dallas Township. UGI officials said the company took measures to avoid crossing wetlands wherever possible and would offset each acre of wetland crossed by creating 3 acres of wetlands, though Matt Walker of Clean Air Council, who also

spoke at the meeting, expressed skepticism about that plan. “Wetland offsets are a joke, in my opinion, and that’s a professional opinion,” Walker said. “They’re not nearly as high-quality as natural wetlands.” Walker said compressor stations produce emissions of methane, nitrous oxide and volatile organic compounds, and though government regulations limit each station’s emissions, the cumulative effect of many compressor stations and other activities could seriously impair air quality. Areas of Wyoming where drilling has been very active had more smog days than Los Angeles last year, he said, and the geography of the area could heighten the health impact of those emissions on days when weather patterns trap smog in the Wyoming Valley. “It’s a complex web,” Walker said. “We need to understand compressor stations as just one small piece of that picture.”

and questions from council to the mayor and heads of city departments. Council member Jack Mundie said the resolution violated state and federal constitutions. He and fellow council member Jean Mope voiced vigorous opposition to its approval. Mundie recently requested city employee information from 2011 and this year, including names, addresses, titles and compensation. He said he be-

lieves this request resulted in this resolution being presented to council. In response, Solicitor Chris Slusser said the resolution was legal and appropriate. Council tabled the resolution to allow time for discussion and research. In another matter, council approved 3-2, with Mope and Mundie dissenting, an ordinance authorizing the eminent domain acquisition of a property at

Broad and Laurel streets for the purpose of the erection of a parking garage. Mayor Joe Yannuzzi said the city would have an obligation to use money received from this action for that garage. Council also had first reading of Ordinance 2012-11, which directs that all bids be opened publicly with authorized representatives present. Bids would be diSee HAZLETON, Page 14A

KINGSTON -- The Luzerne Intermediate Unit Board of Directors awarded three $1,000 scholarships to area high school seniors Wednesday. The three students, Kailee Taylor and Kristen Boyle, both of the Lake-Lehman School District, and Daniel Beam of Northwest Area School District, are “remarkable examples of everything good about what we do in this organization,” said Hal Bloss, executive director of the LIU.

Despite disabilities and obstacles, each one of the scholarship recipients has demonstrated perseverance and determination to overcome challenges. Choking back tears, Bloss congratulated the students. “I want to thank you for how you have influenced us,” he said. Bloss, who’ll be retiring this summer, said the lessons he has learned from the special-education students he has come to

Obama’s no friend to coal industry

FTER SHAFTING the coal industry for years and getting a deservedly cold rebuke in West Virginia’s Democrat primary, Barack Obama now lists “clean coal” among his presidential campaign’s energy initiatives. All that’s missing from this pathetic pander is TV’s Gomer Pyle exclaiming, “Surprise, surprise!” What’s changed since 41 percent of West Virginia voters bailed on Obama and voted for a convicted felon? Well, the campaign’s website, for one. Within days of the vote, BarackObama.com suddenly listed its support for coal and carbon capture. It’s another Obama distinction without a difference. Carbon capture is prohibitively expensive if not entirely EDITORIAL BOARD

excessive, experts say. Nor is it needed in an industry that over four decades has made the source of 45 percent of U.S. electricity both clean and efficient. What Team Obama supports are government regulations, enforced by a “crucifying” Environmental Protection Agency, that negate new coal-fired generating plants, hamper existing ones and curtail coal-mining operations. And that affects not only the coal industry, but also consumers’ electricity bills and the reliability of the nation’s power grid, writes The Heritage Foundation’s Nick Loris. Not fooling anyone, Team Obama has declared war on coal. And in this dirty business, it’s not about to come clean. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Greensburg

Leasing parking assets would be sellout for city

n October 2010, the majority of Pittsburgh’s City Council members said “no deal” to a $452 million proposal to lease their parking assets for 50 years to a consortium led by J.P. Morgan Asset Management and LAZ Parking. Pittsburgh’s council members declared that “you don’t deal away assets” and “a vote in favor of this bill is a vote to sell our soul, to sell our city for 50 years.” Good for them. Even though their mayor, Luke Ravenstahl, championed the leasing option and the city had spent millions of dollars preparing for the plan, they had the fortitude and wisdom to see the folly in it. Wilkes-Barre’s City Council and its Parking Authority are at the same crossroad. They are considering leasing all the city’s parking assets, which also are managed by LAZ Parking, including the intermodal center that was funded by more than $30 million in taxpayer money. Why? It is nothing more than a quick-fix that will affect future generations and certainly be the final nail in the coffin concerning our downtown. End this now; don’t sell out our city.

ray of hope shone brightly on May 12 to help address the problem of hunger: the National Association of Letter Carriers Food Drive. Because of this valuable community service project, and the compassion and concern displayed by everyone who donated food to our nation’s single-largest food drive, a countless number of children and adults will receive a nourishing food order or meal. One of the great features of the drive is that all food donated locally stays local, which means in the Wyoming Valley about 30 food banks and pantries receive the donated food. For many food banks, the NALC Food Drive represents about 25 percent of their total food distributed to those in need on an annual basis. If you donated your time or food items, thanks ever so much. You might never get to see the smiles you put on the faces of those who will benefit as a result of your kindness, but those who helped to serve as co-sponsors and others with whom I had an opportunity to work (through the Commission on Economic Opportunity, Greater Wilkes-Barre Labor Council, NALC Branches 115 and 162, the U.S. Postal Service and United Way of Wyoming Valley) recognize the importance and value of your contribution. A special thank-you goes to all members

Crestwood program cuts will hurt property values

ecently, Gov. Tom Corbett’s budget cuts have caused public school districts such as Crestwood to propose drastic cuts. As a result, some letters to the editor misguidedly focused on teachers as the problem. This is to be expected when so many biased news outlets and pundits have waged a non-stop misinformation campaign that somehow paints teachers and any other public sector employee as greedy. As if anyone who was greedy would undertake a career that required a massive investment in education and large

DOONESBURY

student loan debt to earn starting salaries much lower than private-sector jobs requiring a similar educational commitment. Despite this fact, Crestwood educators voted last year to take a pay freeze to protect student programs. Crestwood consistently has been rated one of the top 10 most efficient schools in the state. In other words, the taxpayers of Crestwood get more educational “bang for the buck” than the residents of nearly 500 school districts in Pennsylvania. This efficiency means that class sizes are optimum and that programs already are funded at a minimum. Crestwood has the second-lowest school tax burden in the county, and it spends less per student than every school district in the region. Yet test scores consistently have placed Crestwood near the top in academic achievement. This means that program cuts are not trimming the fat or putting the district on a diet; they are equivalent to amputating a healthy limb. Crestwood’s cuts will have immediate implications toward the quality of your children’s educations, and ultimately to your property values. Taxpayers should stop blaming teachers and school board members for the problem, and instead focus their attention on state and federal lawmakers who have yet to deliver on promises of property tax relief or adequate educational funding -and who continue to burden schools with unfunded mandates. However, in the meantime, residents of the district should implore the Crestwood School Board to reconsider program cuts. There is money available in the general fund, and the district can offset program cuts by raising revenue to the 2.2 percent granted by the state. This would cost the average homeowner about 10 cents a day, or $36 a year – about the price of a few pizzas. Homebuyers and employers look for quality schools when relocating. What will it mean to your bottom line if your property values plummet by thousands of dollars over the next 10 years because 10 cents a day was too much to invest in your schools, neighborhoods and property? No one likes taxes, but in light of the irresponsible, politically motivated budget of our governor, school boards must step up. Cutting programs will appease taxpayers in the short term but cost them much more in the long run. But make no mistake, any tax hikes are the governor’s fault. He is simply passing the buck. Maybe that’s why he recently suggested that school boards tap into their reserve funds instead of cutting programs. Please tell your school board to protect your property values. Tell them not to amputate important academic programs, but to stop the bleeding until Governor Corbett stops playing politics with your children and your property values.

CIAVARELLA Continued from Page 1A

Ciavarella was convicted in February 2011 of 12 counts, including racketeering, money laundering and mail fraud. His one-time co-defendant, former Judge Michael Conahan, pleaded guilty in July 2010 to one count of racketeering conspiracy. He was sentenced in September 2011 to 17½ years in prison. Ciavarella’s trial played out amid a highly charged atmosphere bolstered by the government’s allegation in the initial indictment that the ex-judges conspired to jail juveniles for profit. Flora and Ruzzo note the government never presented the “kids-for-cash” angle to the trial, but they allege Kosik’s opinion was tainted by the public outcry. The defense twice asked Kosik to recuse himself, but he refused. The request was based, in part, on comments Kosik made in 2009 to a newspaper reporter that he believed Ciavarella and Conahan had engaged in a “quid pro quo” scheme by accepting money from Mericle. Flora and Ruzzo say evidence uncovered after the trial further bolsters their argument that Kosik should have stepped aside. The attorneys rely heavily on replies Kosik wrote to several people who sent him letters in 2009, shortly after Ciavarella and Conahan reached a plea deal with prosecutors that called for them to each serve 87 months in prison. Kosik later rejected the plea deal. In one of the letters, a couple told of how they felt they appeared before a “kangaroo style court” when they went before Conahan in an unrelated court matter. Kosik’s reply, in part, said their case was “just another example of why Judge Conahan and his cohort have been indicted.” In another letter, a man wrote about how the two judges had “turned their courtroom and the power into a business for profit at the expense of children.” Kosik replied that his “personal opinions are in complete sympathy with those you express.” Flora and Ruzzo said Kosik had a duty to refrain from reading the letters because the case was still pending. “Judge Kosik never attempted to avoid the potential taint of a public’s vengeful cry by ignoring these letters,” the attorneys say. “Instead, he fell prey to that fear by responding to some of the letters even

Charles D. “Rusty” Flack, Sordoni’s successor on the board, died last May of cancer. The man who then assumed the chairmanship on a temporary basis, John “Jack” Mueller, passed away May 3 after a battle with leukemia. The loss of Sordoni hit Kip P. Nygren hard. Nygren, who was hired as Wyoming Seminary’s 11th president in 2006, while Sordoni was board chairman, said the latest death is “very shocking to us, particularly with the other members of the board we’ve recently lost.” He recalled his first encounter with Sordoni half a dozen years ago when he was interviewed for

while this case was pending.” The attorneys said they were unaware of the existence of the letters or Kosik’s replies until shortly before Ciavarella’s sentencing in August 2011, when they were publicly released based on requests by the media. Kosik, they say, should have notified them about the letters and held an evidentiary hearing to explore his alleged bias. He did not do that, they say, because that inquiry “would have opened a door which Kosik wanted to keep shut -- his continued non-disclosure of the letters he received and his replies conveying his biased sentiments about the case and disdain for Ciavarella.” That disdain for Ciavarella influenced Kosik’s rulings regarding the defense’s cross-examination of Powell, one of the government’s “star” witnesses, Flora and Ruzzo allege.

the post. “My first impression was this guy’s in charge. It proved to be right,” Nygren said. “George is just a large personality. He was larger than life.” It was a life that included three main hobbies: playing golf, fishing and riding motorcycles. “He loved riding motorcycles; he biked all across the country. There weren’t many parts of the country he didn’t bike through,” Shafer said. Charles Barber, the president and chief executive officer of the Luzerne Foundation, recalls Flack and Sordoni interviewing him for the position in 2000. The community, he said, is a better one for having people like Flack and Sordoni as members. Their loss is the community’s loss, Barber added. “He cared about the health and

Powell had claimed Ciavarella and Conahan extorted more than $700,000 from him by threatening they would stop sending juveniles to his centers if he did not pay. Ciavarella maintained Powell had been embezzling money from the centers, which Powell co-owned with Gregory Zappala, and made up the extortion story to cover up his thefts. At trial, Flora and Ruzzo attempted to question Powell about his personal finances to discredit him, but Kosik, on his own and without an objection raised by prosecutors, stopped the line of questioning. Flora and Ruzzo note the government agreed with them and tried to convince Kosik to allow the line of questioning, but Kosik refused to reconsider his decision. Flora and Ruzzo also contend Kosik erred by disallowing the statement Zu-

well-being of our community,” Barber said, noting that Sordoni was one of 16 founding members of the foundation back in 1994. While Sordoni could capture your attention with his presence and keep you on the edge of your seat with his words and advice, he was also “wonderfully frank and candid,” Barber noted. “You knew where you stood.” For as long as he was on the Wyoming Seminary Board and the Luzerne Foundation Board, he was on the Geisinger Foundation even longer. Dave Jolley, a Geisinger spokesman, said Sordoni served from 1973 to 2010 and sat on several committees, including chairman of the Marworth Board of Directors from 1984 to 1989. “He was a very dedicated board member, very active,” Jolley said. “He will be missed.”

They contend the statement, which was made at Mericle’s guilty plea hearing on a charge related to the scheme, directly contradicted the government’s theory that Mericle bribed the judges. Other issues raised the defense focus on legal technicalities relating to the statute of limitations on some of the charges, and whether the evidence at trial was sufficient to support the verdict. Regarding the sentence, Flora and Ruzzo contend Kosik improperly considered information that was not presented at trial in deciding the sentence. They ask the court to order a new trial, or in the alternative, order a new sentencing hearing. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will have an opportunity to respond to the appeal before the Third Circuit Court rules on the matter.

He did see the advertisement this year and immediately applied. “Why not?” he asked. “It’s a very exciting opportunity.” Rather than hiring another candidate from the finalists’ pool, the chamber re-advertised the position hoping to draw a new group. “Instead of just taking the number three or number four, we recast our net and started over,” Schintz said.

Use of ineligible pitcher knocks Lake-Lehman from district’s Class 2A bracket. By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

A critical mistake has knocked Lake-Lehman out of the District 2 baseball tournament. The Black Knights were forced to forfeit Tuesday’s 8-7 win over Carbondale in nine innings in the first round of the 2A bracket for using an ineligible pitcher, abruptly ending their season. Senior ace Tyler McGovern pitched a complete game Saturday, going seven innings against MMI Prep. He was then used in relief Tuesday, picking up the win on the mound. PIAA LeValley rules require a pitcher to have three calendar days of rest after throwing at least six innings in one day. Carbondale will now advance to today’s quarterfinal round against Holy Cross in Lake-Lehman’s place. “The District 2 baseball committee was made aware of this violation early (Wednesday) morning, and after review and consultation with officials at all schools it was determined that the pitching rule was violated, resulting in the forfeit,” District 2 chairman Frank Majikes said. “It is certainly an unfortunate occurrence, however the rule is in place to protect arms of young studentathletes. “Our schools were all in agreement with the situation and the resulting penalty.” Lake-Lehman coach Mark LeValley took responsibility for the situation, saying that he did not knowingly break the rule. His future with the program will likely be decided at the next school board meeting, currently scheduled for June 18. LeValley declined to comment on his job status. “I made a mistake. A horrible mistake,” LeValley said Wednesday evening. “I have to live up to it. It was unintentional – nothing underhanded. It was an error on my part and I’ve owned up to it. “I’ve apologized to the team and begged for forgiveness.” Lake-Lehman was the defending District 2 Class 2A champion and seeded third in the 15-team bracket.

PAUL SOKOLOSKI OPINION

Lifting their success up and over the net

hen Jeremy Myslowski powered the winning return over the net and through an array of opponents on Tuesday night, he did more than just finish off an entertaining District 2 semifinal volleyball match. He pounded home a point for Holy Redeemer. How did the Royals reach this point, earning a hard-fought sweep of North Pocono to earn an opportunity to defend their district title today? Wasn’t this the year the Royals were supposed to come back to the rest of the district? Tall all-state hitter Pete Alexis left to join Penn State’s basketball team after last season, and so did his fellow Redeemer all-stater John McCarthy. So most of the league suspected a young Royals lineup was bound to make rookie mistakes. “Everyone thought they’d be able to get us this year,” Redeemer’s Mike Prociak said. “And we thought so, too,” Redeemer coach Jack Kablick said. “We lost our entire back row. We lost our entire middle.” The they all thought wrong, mainly because the Royals never lost their nerve. First, though, they had to find it. For a time, Redeemer was finding a district title to be difficult, if not downright elusive. The school always seems to have high hopes for playing in the district tournament. The Royals have traditionally tormented the Wyoming Valley Conference, going unbeaten over the past three regular seasons to win a trio of conference crowns while running their league winning streak to 57 consecutive victories. “Even from day one,” Kablick said, going back to when the school was known as Bishop Hoban in the 1990s, “we never had a losing season.” But the party always seems to end early for Redeemer in districts. Learning to win the close ones Despite boasting plenty of potential, the Redeemer boys never won a district title after the school was renamed following the Catholic school merger in 2007. Until last year, when the Royals finally wound up on top of the district. “We had to learn how to win close games,” said Bob Wingert, one of the few seniors on this year’s Royals team. How’s this for passing a tough test? When the second game of the semifinals was slipping away, Wingert and Prociak made kills to lift the Royals back into the lead over North Pocono. After that, a violation against the Trojans lifted Redeemer to a 26-24 victory. The other two games against North Pocono were almost as intense. The first game was tied seven times before the Royals pulled out a 25-21 victory, and the second game was all even at 18-18 before Redeemer rallied to a 25-21 win. That set up a showdown with Western Wayne and a chance for the Royals to make it two district titles in a row. “Oh, I think we definitely can,” Prociak said. “We’re on a high right now. We’ll be ready for (today). I don’t think anyone can get in our way.” Mostly because the Royals learned the way to get past pressure-packed games. “We still haven’t hit our ceiling with this team,” Wingert said. “We still have a lot of room to grow.” This was the season Redeemer’s success was supposed to shrink. Not where the Royals are concerned. They’re on a mission to make sure it continues to blossom.

she set up junior Karleigh Hartman, who connected on a liner from near the 18-yard line. “The second goal was definitely the momentum shift,” Davenport said. “They were coming after us no matter what. Once you get down by two, it’s definitely a bigger game.” Prior to Hartman’s goal, Coughlin’s Ivy Nulton had a 23yard shot bang off the crossbar. It was one of several chances that just missed for the Crusaders. Two more came in the waning minutes when Lindsey Humanik headed a solid shot that Berwick keeper Sarah Wilczynski was able to handle and Nora Fazzi’s 45-yarder took a clean one hop to Wilczynski. “We played a very good game. We played very well,” Coughlin coach Joe Spagnuolo said. “I thought we dominated. You need to score on your opportunities and we didn’t score on our opportunities.”

len and Rajon Rondo could be playing their last game together Saturday night if they can’t find a way to hang onto the ball and put away a Sixers team that won’t quit. Former 76ers All-Star Allen Iverson earned a roaring standing ovation when he presented the game ball. By the end, the fans were on their feet for Holiday, Brand and Andre Iguodala for keeping the eighth-seeded Sixers alive for at least one more game. The Celtics posted ugly numbers across the board: Blame the loss on the 33 percent shooting, the 17 turnovers or the 3 for 14 3-point shooting. Either way, there’s enough to go around. Pierce had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Garnett had 20 points and 11 boards. The Sixers again failed to put up the sparkling numbers in the box score usually required for a deep postseason run. They missed 8 of 9 3-pointers, shot a woeful 17 of 28 from the free throw line and had 12 turnovers. But when the Sixers really needed that game-changing basket, there was Evan Turner twisting and fighting through defend-

DISTRICT 2 GIRLS SOCCER TOURNAMENT

EDWARDSVILLE — As the final seconds tick off the clock at Wilkes University, Lake-Lehman didn’t get the victory it sought Wednesday night. A moral conquest, yes. But the final score – Dallas 2-1 – in the District 2 spring girls soccer semifinal game was what mattered the most. “They gave it all today,” said Lehman coach Kelly Adamshick, whose team lost 6-1 to Dallas during the Wyoming Valley Conference season. “They left their hearts on the field today and that’s all I can ask from them. Every single player played with heart and I’m very, very proud of them.” Dallas (13-2) advanced to a district title game for the sixth time in the past seven years. The Mountaineers will play Berwick (11-3-1) at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Wilkes. “We’re looking forward to it, the district championship,” Dallas senior fullback Kassondra Michno said. “We were upset (in the semifinals) last year. We want it really bad this year.” So did Lehman (11-4). The Black Knights were attempting to make the championship for the first time since 1998 when Adamshick – then known as Kelly Spencer – led the team to the state title game.

would be like the April 18 matchup. Vanessa Parsons led Ashley Strazdus on a run and the freshman forward scored inside the left post seven minutes into the game. About 16 minutes later, Division 1-A scoring champ Ashley Dunbar picked the ball off the foot of a Lehman player 50 yards

from the goal and went on a breakaway for a 2-0 lead. Everything changed in the 25th minute when Lehman’s Emily Sutton followed up Shoshana Mahoney’s shot to move the Black Knights within 2-1. The sudden switch in momentum, though, didn’t sway the outcome. Part of the reason was Dal-

ers down the lane. When the Sixers needed a stop, there was Brand, ripping a rebound away from Boston, even with painful neck and shoulder injuries that keep him awake at night. The Sixers wrote “Huddle Up and Fight” on their locker room chalkboard. They did just that and are now one win away from reaching the conference finals for the first time since 2001. Iverson was the MVP of that run. Maybe a little of that ol’ A.I. magic rubbed off in Game 6. Unlike Game 5, when the Sixers collapsed in the third quarter and blew a lead, they suddenly found a groove in front of 20,403 fans. The Sixers started hitting free throws, kept turnovers to a minimum (two), and fed the ball to a starting lineup that had been largely outproduced by a fantastic bench. Turner was fouled on a goahead layup but missed from the line. That made the Sixers 5 of 13 while the Celtics were 14 for 14. Iguodala split two defenders and threw down a ferocious dunk over Pierce to draw the foul. He made his first free throw after missing his first four and the Sixers led by five. Pierce led the parade to the line for the Boston. He made his first 11 attempts for a Celtics team that was 17 for 17 through

three quarters. The Celtics made only 19 field goals through three. The Sixers also couldn’t find their way from the 3-point line and missed their first six attempts until Iguodala nailed one for a 58-52 lead. Garnett caught some heat after calling Philly fans “fair weather” after Game 5 in Boston. Well, the forecast called for thunderous cheers after Iguodala buried his 3. That helped the Sixers take a 60-56 lead into the fourth and put them 12 minutes away from Game 7. This time, the Sixers weren’t blowing a lead. Turner, who never met a clutch attempt he didn’t like, went right-to-left on a drive down the lane for a nine-point lead. The 6-foot-4 Holiday brushed off the 4-inch difference and went high over Garnett for a onehanded bucket and an 11-point lead. While the Sixers swapped shot makers on almost every possession, the Celtics never found that third and fourth option behind Pierce and Garnett. Rajon Rondo had tortured the Sixers over the first five games, but was limited to nine points (4 for 14 shooting) and six assists. Iguodala and Turner scored 12 points. Lou Williams had 11. Coach Doug Collins had the Sixers watch a highlight video

las freshman sweeper Talia Szatkowski. Twice she plucked certain goals from crossing the goal line when keeper Gabby Oliveri wasn’t there. Senior midfielder Elaine Tomaselli did the same, also in the first half. “Without (Szatkowski) back there, we’d be in deep trouble,” Dallas coach Chris Scharff said.

“We gave up one goal, that’s not bad. Our goalkeepers of Amber (Yang) and Gabby did great. And our midfield got the ball through.”

Voters split on defensive accolades The Associated Press

NEW YORK — NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James was the leading vote-getter for the league’s all-defensive squad Wednesday, while Defensive Player of the Year Tyson Chandler didn’t even crack the first team. Confused? So were plenty of others — even a Harvard graduate. Jeremy Lin, Chandler’s teammate in New York, took to Twitter to ask for an explanation of how that was possible. The answer is because the voting is done by different parties. A media panel voted for Defensive Player of the Year, while the alldefensive team vote was conducted by the league’s 30 head coaches, who voted for a first and second team by position and were not allowed to pick their own players. They favored Orlando’s Dwight Howard, the NBA’s leading rebounder and its top defensive player three straight years before Chandler, as their center. Also on the first team were Thunder forward Serge Ibaka, who led the league in blocks and was runner-up to Chandler for Defensive Player of the Year; Clippers guard Chris Paul, the league leader in steals; and Grizzlies guard Tony Allen. James totaled 53 points, including 24 first-team votes. He averaged 1.9 steals and 7.9 rebounds. Joining Chandler on the second team were Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett of the Celtics, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, and Chicago forward Luol Deng.

made it 3-0 before the Rangers woke up and began chipping away. Brandon Prust brought New York within 3-1 before the first period was over, and Ryan Callahan made it a one-goal game in the first minute of the second. The Garden really rocked when Marian Gaborik tied it at 3 just 17 seconds into the third with his first goal of the series. But the comeback was all for naught. Carter put the Devils back in front, and Zach Parise sealed it with an empty-net goal in the closing seconds. “I thought we probably played our best game of the series tonight,” Rangers coach John Tortorella said. Once Gaborik tied it with an unassisted goal that ricocheted in off the skate of goalie Martin Brodeur, it appeared the Rangers would ride the comeback all the way to one of the most stirring wins in team history — one that would rival victories over New Jersey in the classic 1994 East finals.

Dannah Hayward spent most of her high school track career following in Shelley Black’s footsteps. The Coughlin senior eyes a chance at doing something the current Penn State and former Crusaders track star couldn’t do in her final high school race – win the 300 hurdles at the state meet. Several Wyoming Valley Conference athletes eye a chance at a state medal this weekend at the PIAA Class 3A track and field championships Friday and Saturday at Shippensburg University. Hayward enters the state championships as a second seed in the 300 hurdles. Leading the pack with state medal aspirations are Dallas’ Regan Rome and Hazleton Area’s Julia Franzosa. Rome looks to improve upon her sixth place finish as a freshman last year, and Franzosa recorded the fifth-best seed time in the state this season.

Ehret is one of three District 2 runners in the Class 3A 3200 race. After clocking in at 9:25.11 and a second-place showing last week, he is seeded at the 12th spot. Mujahid Chesson, Coughlin

right corner, and Gionta sent a pass in front to Carter — who had just charged in front from the bench — for a quick shot that beat Henrik Lundqvist. “You have to (keep it together) this time of year,” Gionta said. “You have to have a short memory. Fortunately we did and came out with the victory.” New Jersey was outshot 28-17 overall and had only six shots in the third period, but two of them went in. Now the Devils are on the verge of their first Cup finals appearance since they won their third title in 2003. Brodeur who has been the backbone of every Devils championship kept his focus throughout the third period when he was loudly taunted with chants of “Mar-ty, Mar-ty” after New York got even. The Rangers were ultimately done in by another terrible start. For the 13th straight game in these playoffs, the team that scored first in New York’s contests has gone on to win. The Rangers had been on a pattern of win-one, lose-one, but now they are on the verge of elimination with their second two-game losing streak in a series this year. The only time the Rangers have won two straight in a playoff series is when they overcame a 3-2 hole in the first round and knocked out Ottawa.

Singles by Benjamin, Gow and Kate Kowalski gave Nanticoke a 5-0 lead. Gola had two doubles for Nanticoke, Bronwyn Perrins scored two runs.

Two batters later, Lindsay Roberts singled to left and took second on an error, putting two in scoring position for Katie Wolfe. “Once one of us starts hitting, we all get our bats going,” Wolfe said. The Trojanettes’ catcher fell behind early on two quick strikes, then fouled off three of the next five pitches. The eighth pitch of the at-bat was to Wolfe’s liking and she served it into right field for what stood as the game-winning hit. “That second at-bat, I was used to what she was throwing,” Wolfe said. “I just stayed off the junk pitches and tried to foul off the ones that were strikes but not in my zone until I got my pitch.” Ange Hillan added a run-scoring single to close the fourth inning, giving Hannah Rubasky all of the offensive support she would need. “Hannah did an excellent job,” said Wolfe, her catcher. “She always hits her spots.

Wednesday morning. Though McGovern went 72 hours in between his last pitch on Saturday and his first pitch on Tuesday, the PIAA rulebook specifies that a pitcher must rest for three calendar days after throwing six or more innings in any one calendar day. By rule, McGovern was required to rest Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, making him ineligible to throw even one pitch on any of those days. The game will officially go down as a 1-0 win for Carbondale. McGovern threw 95 pitches in the win over MMI Prep and topped 30 against the Chargers. Carbondale starter Phil Mosolino threw all 81⁄3 innings on Tuesday, finishing at 172 pitches. Players are permitted to throw up to nine innings in a calendar day, regardless of pitch count. “I just feel terrible,” LeValley said. “It was nothing preplanned, just a slip-up, a mistake. I accept the penalty and full responsibility.”

Hamels filibusters D.C. as Phils win The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels pitched eight scoreless innings, finishing up by retiring Bryce Harper on a grounder as the Philadelphia Phillies snapped a season-long fourgame losing streak Wednesday night with a 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Hamels (7-1) didn’t allow a hit until Danny Espinosa doubled with one out in the sixth. The left-hander won his seventh straight decision, allowing four hits and striking out eight. Hamels faced Washington for the first time since intentionally hitting the 19-year-old Harper on May 6. The incident sparked a firestorm, with Hamels earning a five-game suspension and Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo getting fined for his critical comments of Hamels. Mets 3, Pirates 1

PITTSBURGH — Jonathon Niese allowed one run in 7 2-3 innings, helping the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 Wednesday for their third win in four games. Niese (3-2) gave up five hits, struck out five and walked two, five days after matching his career high by allowing eight runs in a 14-5 loss at Toronto. Bobby Parnell struck out Andrew McCutchen with runners on second and third to end the eighth, and Frank Francisco worked a perfect ninth for his third save in four days, his 12th in 14 chances this season. Reds 2, Braves 1

CINCINNATI — Todd Frazier hit a one-out homer in the ninth inning Wednesday night, extending the Cincinnati Reds’ best surge of the season with a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

The Reds won their fifth in a row, leaving them five games over .500 (24-19) for the first time this season. MIAMI — Troy Tulowitzki homered and drove in four runs to help Alex White earn his first victory this year, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a six-game losing streak Wednesday by beating the Miami Marlins 8-4. White (1-3) had lost six consecutive starts since September. He gave up four runs in six innings. The Rockies, who blew early leads of 4-0 and 3-0 in the first two games of the series, won after trailing 3-0. Brewers 8, Giants 5

MILWAUKEE — Aramis Ramirez hit a three-run double in the first inning, Jonathan Lucroy added a two-run homer in the second as Milwaukee built an eight-run lead, and the Brewers rocked Barry Zito again at Miller Park in an 8-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday. Astros 5, Cubs 1

HOUSTON — J.D. Martinez had three hits and three RBIs to lead the Houston Astros to a 5-1 win over the Cubs on Wednesday night to complete the series three-game sweep and give Chicago its longest losing streak in more than a decade. Cardinals 6, Padres 3

ST. LOUIS — Carlos Beltran hit his NL-leading 14th home run and the Cardinals beat up on former St. Louis postseason star Jeff Suppan for a 6-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night and a three-game sweep.

Men in Pinstripes hand Will Smith a loss NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez gave Will Smith a rude welcome to the major leagues, hitting two homers off the rookie to back another strong start for Andy Pettitte as the Yankees won 8-3. A-Rod snapped a 52 at-bat homereless drought and drove in three runs for New York. Curtis Granderson also connected off Smith and the Yankees scored three times in the fifth with help from some inept relief pitching. Derek Jeter had three hits to tie Paul Waner for 15th with 3,152. Before the Jeter singled in the eighth, Waner had been the only player who reached a higher hits milestone than Jeter in a Yankees uniform. “Big Poison” got just one hit with New York, his final one in a career spent mostly in Pittsburgh.

ers on Wednesday. Liddi made Texas manager Ron Washington pay for the decision to pitch around Dustin Ackley with one out in the fifth inning. Ackley was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Liddi lined the first pitch from Scott Feldman (0-2) just over the yellow line on top of the left-field wall for his third homer this season. He also doubled and scored Seattle’s first run. Millwood (3-4) was brilliant for a third consecutive start. Indians 4, Tigers 2

CLEVELAND — Jason Kipnis had three hits and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning for Cleveland. Kipnis singled off the glove of Phil Coke (1-1) with one out and took third on a double into the left-field corner by Asdrubal Cabrera.

Red Sox 6, Orioles 5

Angels 3, Athletics 1, 11 innings

BALTIMORE (AP) — Daniel Nava broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth with a solo homer off Jake Arrieta (2-5), and Kelly Shoppach greeted Luis Ayala with a two-run drive. Scott Podsednik, in his first start for Boston, added a solo shot in the eighth off Darren O’Day. Nick Johnson homered twice for the Orioles.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Alberto Callaspo hit a go-ahead tworun double in the 11th inning against Justin Norberto (0-1). Jordan Walden (1-1) pitched a 1-2-3 10th, and Ernesto Frieri finished for his first major league save.

Mariners 5, Rangers 3

SEATTLE — Alex Liddi hit the first grand slam of his career, and second grand slam ever by an Italian-born player, Kevin Millwood threw six shutout innings and the Seattle Mariners took two of three from division-leading Texas with a 5-3 win over the Rang-

Rays 5, Blue Jays 4, 11 innings

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rich Thompson was hit by a pitch from Darren Oliver (0-2) starting the 11th and scored on B.J. Upton’s one-out double. White Sox 6, Twins 0

CHICAGO (AP) — Chris Sale pitched seven sharp innings and Paul Konerko and Alex Rios backed him with home runs for Chicago.

Segui could be forced to testify vs. Clemens The former major leaguer would be a reluctant witness called by the prosecution.

By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON — Prosecutors finally have some momentum in their perjury case against Roger Clemens, even if it means dragging in former major leaguer David Segui, a witness who is apparently so reluctant to testify that the judge threatened from the bench: “If he doesn’t show up, he’ll be arrested like anyone else.” U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton indicated Wednesday he was leaning heavily toward allowing prosecutors to call Segui and another witness to counter an overall impression left by Clemens’ lawyers during the 6-week-old trial. Segui is expected to say that sometime around 2001 he was told by Clemens’ strength coach, Brian McNamee, that McNamee had saved evidence from injections of players to placate a nagging wife. That would be consistent with McNamee’s testimony last week — that he kept waste from an alleged steroids injection of Clemens in 2001 and stored it in a beer can to soothe things over at home. McNamee’s wife, according to McNamee, was concerned that he would become the fall guy if his involvement with drugs-in-

baseball were ever exposed. But there’s a catch. Prosecutor Courtney Saleski said Segui, who retired in 2004 after 15 major league seasons, “doesn’t want to come” even though he’s under subpoena. Judge Walton’s response: “You just tell him if he’s under subpoena, he’d better be here.” Or else, added the judge, “he’d better be on the run because the marshals will be after him.” Clemens is accused of lying to Congress in 2008 when he said he had never used steroids or human growth hormone, and a trial that appeared to be going so well for the seven-time Cy Young Award winner has this week thrown him a few curveballs. When Clemens’ lawyer Rusty Hardin shared a laugh with the judge while fighting an uphill battle against Segui’s testimony — “I don’t want to beat a dead horse,” Hardin said — Clemens sat at the defense table and didn’t so much as crack a smile. Essentially, Hardin is paying the price for his three days of aggressive cross-examination of McNamee, who says he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with HGH in 2000. On Monday, the judge ruled that Hardin had opened the door for McNamee to name other players to whom he had supplied HGH, something the defense had fought vigorously to keep from the jury.

Dufner has confidence at Colonial Two PGA Tour wins in four weeks have launched the career of the Cup leader. By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer

FORT WORTH, Texas — Jason Dufner has won twice in the last four weeks after never winning before on the PGA Tour, yet has struggled at the Colonial. With the confidence in his game right now, after wins at New Orleans and the Byron Nelson Championship while getting married in between, maybe Dufner can finally have success at a difficult course he has always liked. “Pretty much every time I step on the tee this year, wherever I am at, whatever round it is, I feel like I could play a good round,” Dufner said. “That’s kind of what my practice and preparation has put me; prepared me for is to feel comfortable ... that my game is in good shape. And I don’t need to do crazy and special things to shoot good scores.” Dufner isn’t the only player feeling good about his game going in the opening round Thursday in the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial. The field includes Hunter Mahan, No. 2 behind Dufner in the FedEx Cup standings and the only other two-time winner this season. There are Zach Johnson and David Toms, the past two Colonial champions, and 24-year-old Rickie Fowler, who in his last two starts got his first PGA Tour win along with a runner-up finish at The Players Championship. Johnson has made the cut in all 12 tournaments he has played this year, though he hasn’t won

since slipping on the Colonial plaid jacket two years after a tournament-record 21-under 259 total. The 45-year-old Toms, coming off a 15th-place tie at Quail Hollow and 10th-place tie at The Players, got his only victory since 2005 last year at Hogan’s Alley. “It’s a special week for me. It’s always been a tournament that I loved to play, and over the years, I had a lot of good finishes. But to finally get a victory, it was just

awesome really,” Toms said. “Obviously, I haven’t had a result this year that I would like. But that’s the way golf is. It kind of goes in cycles. I’m hoping to build upon what I’ve done the last couple of tournaments and get myself into position.” Toms won at Colonial in his 14th try. Johnson won his fifth time, the victory coming in the middle of his current streak of three top-10 finishes at Colonial. “I do enjoy coming back here.

Certainly the obvious fond reasons, playing well,” said Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion. “I think more than that I really enjoy this golf course. I think it requires the right kind of golf. I think it separates the field. If you are off, it will expose that. If you are on, I think you can climb the leaderboard. ... A lot of tradition, a lot of history here, it’s good to be part of that.” When they tee off at No. 1, Toms and Johnson can see their names on the Wall of Champions with the likes of Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson. Tiger Woods’ name isn’t there. His only appearance at the par-70 course was 15 years ago, when he tied for fourth. Phil Mickelson is a two-time Colonial champion, in 2000 and 2008. He withdrew as the defending champion in 2009 after his wife’s breast cancer diagnosis, then missed the cut last year with rounds of 71 and 73. Mickelson isn’t back this year, indicating last week while at the Byron Nelson Championship that the Colonial course doesn’t suit his game any longer following some changes made there since his last victory. Fowler took a break last week after his overly successful threeweek stretch. He was 10th at New Orleans before winning at Quail Hollow and then finishing tied for second at The Players. “I definitely feel a little bit more free, playing I guess with a little less pressure. Obviously feeling really good about my game mentally and physically,” Fowler said. “It’s been fun to kind of relive 18 at Quail Hollow, and I can’t wait to get my seconds.”

IOC narrows down 2020 candidates to three By STEPHEN WILSON AP Sports Writer

QUEBEC CITY — The race for the 2020 Olympics will come down to a contest between Madrid, Tokyo and Istanbul after the IOC trimmed the field Wednesday, once again rejecting Doha’s bid to take the games to tiny Qatar. Doha and Baku, capital of Azerbaijan, were eliminated as the International Olympic Committee settled on a shortlist of three finalists. Both cities also failed to make the cut for the 2016 Games. Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul — all former bidders — advanced to the final phase, a 17-month race that will end with the IOC vote Sept. 7, 2013, in Buenos Aires. The executive board, chaired by IOC President Jacques Rogge, chose the finalists after examining a technical evaluation report compiled by a panel of Olympic experts. The board then voted on each candidate. An official familiar with details of the selection told The Associated Press the board voted unanimously in favor of Tokyo and Madrid at 12-0 and supported Istanbul by 11-1. The vote was 0-12 for Baku and 3-9 for Doha, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the totals aren’t being made public. While soccer governing body FIFA awarded the 2022 World Cup to Qatar, the IOC isn’t con-

vinced the Gulf state is equipped for the Olympics. “This is a much more complex undertaking than a World Cup and maybe they should do that first,” IOC board member and finance commission chairman Richard Carrion said. Qatari officials expressed disappointment but will bid again. “I think it’s a missed opportunity for the IOC,” Doha bid leader Noora Al-Mannai said. “This opportunity for 2020 has gone. There is nothing we can do. However, we don’t give up. I promise you we will be back.” Azerbaijan Sports Minister Azad Rahimov said Baku also would return. “I can assure you that we will listen and learn from the feedback that the IOC has offered us and then we will come back again next time even stronger,” he said. Madrid is bidding for a third consecutive time, Tokyo a second time in a row and Istanbul a fifth time overall. Tokyo, which hosted the 1964 Olympics, received the highest praise in the IOC report, which said the Japanese bid presents “a very strong application.” Madrid has a “strong application,” while Istanbul’s project “offers good potential,” the report said. The IOC report said Baku’s bid had a “number of weaknesses,”

Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace smiles after being elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame on Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C.

Wallace elected to Hall of Fame Former Cup champion headlines a group of five scheduled to be enshrined. By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sprint Cup champion Rusty Wallace hated running second to anyone and doesn’t plan to start now that he’s part of the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Wallace, the 1989 series champion who won 55 races, headed the group of five picked Wednesday as NASCAR’s newest Hall of Famers. The others selected were Leonard Wood, Herb Thomas, Cotton Owens and Buck Baker. Wood was a famed member of the Wood Brothers teams whose brother, Glen, was picked for the hall last year. Thomas was one of NASCAR’s first superstar drivers, Owens a success as driver and owner, and Baker is 14th on the victory list with 46. But it was Wallace, the sharptongue, quick-witted driver turned TV analyst, who promised to keep promoting the sport and the hall to anyone who’ll listen. “I can tell you what, I’m not going to run second to Darrell Waltrip. I can tell you that,” Wallace said. NASCAR chairman Brian France said the fourth class was the hardest so far to select. Voters said there was a divide between those panelists eager to honor the sports’ pioneers and those understanding what a personality like Wallace could do for the Hall and NASCAR’s continued growth. “We need people who can represent the Hall of Fame now,” said Hall of Fame member and voter Ned Jarrett. Still, Wallace was third among inductees at 52 percent of the vote behind Thomas and Wood, who received 57 percent. Owens was next at 50 percent with Baker and Fireball Roberts

tying at 39 percent. A re-vote was done — the first time that’s happened in four Hall of Fame classes — and Baker took the final spot. Wallace said he was honored to be nominated and was comfortable waiting his turn behind others. “I’m total surprised. I really am,” he said. “My numbers are one thing and the wins, that’s there. But the names, you think of Benny Parsons, you think of Freddy Lorenzen, Fireball Roberts and Wendell Scott, these are guys I grew up listening to.” Wallace thought those were the people who would get in. “And I was like, I made it? I don’t know if I’m going to sleep tonight,” he said. The Wood Brothers team was credited as pioneers of the modern pit stop. Leonard, alongside Glen and Delano Wood, was the team’s chief mechanic. Leonard Wood won 96 races and 117 poles in 900 races as a crew chief Wood compared this moment to February 2011 when the Wood Brothers and driver Trevor Bayne stunned the NASCAR world with a victory at the Daytona 500. “We won the Daytona 500 the year before last and it was one of the most excited and celebrated winning circles ever — and I think this fits right in with that,” he said. Owens had success as a driver and owner. He won nine races in NASCAR’s premier series and finished second for the 1959 championship to Hall of Famer Lee Petty. Owens later hired Hall of Fame drivers in Junior Johnson and David Pearson, winning 38 times as an owner. Thomas, who died in 2000, is considered one of NASCAR’s first superstars by winning championships in 1951 and 1953 and finishing second in1952 and 1954. Baker became the first NASCAR driver to win consecutive championships in 1956 and 1957. He died in 2002.

By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

The players union claimed Wednesday that the NFL imposed a secret salary cap during the uncapped 2010 season that cost the players at least $1 billion. The complaint was filed in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, which oversees the Reggie White settlement covering NFL labor matters. But the league says the union has no grounds for the action and is prohibited from filing it by the collective bargaining agreement. The complaint claims a “conspiracy” to set a $123 million salary cap for the 2010 season, when owners did not have the authority to do so. The Cowboys and Redskins have had their future salary caps lowered for overspending in 2010, Dallas by $10 million over two seasons, Washington by a whopping $36 million. Both teams lost a grievance against those reductions on Tuesday. “When the rules are broken in a way that hurts the game, we have an obligation to act. We cannot stand by when we now know that the owners conspired to collude,” union chief DeMaurice Smith said Wednesday. In response to the reopening of the Reggie White lawsuit, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said, “There was no collusion. There was no agreement. These claims are totally unfounded.” A league statement said the collective bargaining agreement signed last August to end the 41⁄2-month lockout prohibited the filing of these claims, and that players’ attorneys signed a separate agreement agreeing to the terms. But NFLPA outside counsel Jeffrey Kessler said that agreement was rejected by the court. “The document they are referring to was not accepted by the district court in Minnesota,” he said Wednesday. “It was rejected and the court entered an order which only dismissed claims under White that were pending.” The NFL also points to a clause in the latest labor contract in which the union gives up the right to sue over “collusion with respect to any League Year prior to 2011.” Thus, the NFL has considered the 2010 uncapped season a closed matter ever since the new labor deal was signed last summer. Clearly, the players do not, and now are seeking compensation for lost wages caused by collusion among the teams. “Our union recently learned that there was a secret salary cap agreement in an uncapped year,” NFL Players Association President Domonique Foxworth said. “The complaint today is our effort to fulfill our duty to every NFL player. They deserve to know, above all, the facts and the truth about this conspiracy.” The 2006 CBA included an uncapped 2010 season as the final year of the deal. It was thought that neither the league nor the union would want the potential chaos of a season with no salary cap, but that proved false as negotiations on a new contract stagnated. Just over two months after that uncapped season, the league locked out the players in March 2011. The salary cap was reinstated in the new, 10-year CBA finalized last August. But on March 12, just before free agency began, the Redskins and Cowboys had their salary caps reduced over the next two seasons. The NFLPA was involved in that process, with 28 other clubs getting a boost in their salary caps for 2012 and 2013.

New home sales climb in April

B R I E F

Kraft approves ‘Mondelez’ Kraft Foods Inc. says shareholders approved the name “Mondelez” for its new global snack food business, which may put to rest the snickering that initially greeted the name. The Northfield, Ill.-based company said Wednesday the name was approved by more than 90 percent of shareholders who cast a vote. The name — pronounced “mon-dahLEEZ” — will take effect when the company officially splits into two publicly traded companies later this year. Mondelez International Inc. will be home to global brands including Oreo, Cadbury and Nabisco.

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON — Americans bought more new homes last month, the latest evidence that the U.S. housing market could be starting to recover. New-home sales increased 3.3 percent in April from March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 343,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Sales rose sharply in every region of the country but the South. The gain pushed the annual sales pace to its second-highest level in two years. Economists were encouraged by the increase but cautioned that new homes are still selling at half the rate consistent with healthy markets. The increase follows other reports this week that suggest steady improvement in housing. Sales of previously occupied homes rose 3.4 percent to near a two-year high in April. A pickup in hiring, cheaper mortgages and lower home prices in most markets have made home buying more attractive. “Housing could be a pleasant surprise this year,” said Ellen Zentner, a senior economist at Nomura Securities. She said home construction would likely contribute to overall economic growth this year for the first time since 2005. Sales of new homes rose 28 percent in April from March in the Midwest and the West, and 7.7 percent in the Northeast. Only in the South did sales fall, by 10.6 percent.

Martha moves up ladder Martha Stewart is now the nonexecutive chairman of the lifestyle, media and merchandising company that she created. Stewart, who rejoined the board of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. in September, succeeded Charles Koppelman on Wednesday. Stewart agreed to a five-year ban on serving as a board member or as an executive of a public company as part a settlement with federal regulators. Stewart was convicted in 2004 on federal criminal charges of lying to prosecutors about selling ImClone shares a day before the Food and Drug Administration announced it declined to review an ImClone application for a cancer drug. She served five months in prison.

Regulators are examining whether Morgan Stanley selectively informed clients of a negative report about Facebook before the stock started trading.

Wall Street can’t catch a break By CHRISTINA REXRODE and PALLAVI GOGOI AP Business Writers

NEW YORK — Almost four years after the financial crisis, Wall Street still can’t get it right. Investor anger mounted Wednesday over the initial public offering of Facebook stock last week, which was fumbled by the banks that managed the deal and complicated by technical problems at the Nasdaq stock exchange. Shareholders filed at least two lawsuits against Facebook and Morgan Stanley, the bank that shepherded the IPO, over reports that it withheld negative analyst reports about Facebook

Rail strike costing Canada Canada’s labor minister said Wednesday the government will introduce legislation if necessary to end a strike at Canadian Pacific railway, which has forced the suspension of its freight service in Canada and the United States. Teamsters Canada said the strike against Canada’s second-largest railway started just after midnight Wednesday. The nation’s larger railway, CN, can make up for some — but not all — of the transport needs. The strike is expected to halt shipments of grain, fertilizer, coal, cars and other goods that Canadian Pacific moves along nearly 14,900 miles of track in Canada and the U.S. Labor Minister Lisa Raitt estimated that if the strike continues, it would cost the Canadian economy $540 million a week.

you’re willing to “pay to play.” But where is the trend going? Realistically, television, telephone and the Internet are all data. You can actually obtain both television programming and telephone service over the Internet – making the other two unnecessary. It should, in my opinion, be a single data charge.

Today will be another warm and humid day with enough sunshiine to “boil up” a scattering of afternoon showers. There will be a better chance for rain Friday afternoon and evening as a weak and shallow cold front arrives. There should be just enough push of dry air behind this front to pave the way for a nice day here on Saturday. However, the front may stall and move back north on Sunday to bring a chance of rain Saturday night and showers on Sunday. Monday looks very warm and humid with sunshine and some thunder. - Tom Clark

Drinking game goes professional By SAM SPIEGELMAN Capital News Service

Costume designer Colleen Atwood was more than up to the challenge after numerous previous collaborations with director Tim Burton (her efforts for the director’s “Alice in Wonderland” earned her a 2010 Academy Award). This time around, instead of going down the rabbit hole, her challenge was to bring a touch of 18thcentury style to the coastal Maine of the Me Decade in a way that didn’t alienate fans of the original gothic television soap opera, which became a cult classic during its run from 1966 to 1971. Atwood, whose next project is a “Thin Man” remake (also starring Depp), took a few moments to talk about how she came up with some of the film’s most memorable looks. Q: Between the original series, the vampire genre and the not-so-distant ’70s, there was no

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — After Austin Lanham injured his knee playing rugby at the University of Maryland in 2004, he devoted his attention to another big “sport” on college campuses. Not football or basketball, but beer pong. What started as a simple drinking game requiring players to throw ping-pong balls into cups of beer has become increasingly professionalized over the past decade, with international player rankings and a World Series in Las Vegas. Lanham is one of Maryland’s best beer-pong professionals, ranked second in the state by the National Beer Pong League. “Beer pong was the only thing I could do for a year,” said Lanham, of Baltimore. “The game that I started playing in college — that’s all I had for a year.” Beer pong is a simple game, a critical feature since players often participate while drunk. Opposing teams of two line up across a long table, with cups of beer arranged in a pyramid pattern on the table. The teams take alternating turns, attempting to land a ball in an opponent’s cup. If they sink one, their opponents must drink the contents of the cup. If a team loses all six cups, they lose the match and must drink the contents of their opponents’ remaining cups. Like many professional beer pongers, Lanham now plays with water instead of beer to keep sharp during matches. Drinking alcohol during professional matches is allowed but not required. Lanham didn’t start out playing with water. He honed his game as an undergrad at Bucknell University, where his fraternity played a lot of beer pong. “Beer pong was my social outlet,” Lanham said. “I lived and died with beer in my cups.” He devoted a lot of time to the game and, when he turned 21, he started playing in tournaments at bars. “I just found that I was never really losing,” he said. “I was beating everyone I’d play.” After coming to the University of Maryland to obtain a graduate degree, he tore his ACL playing rugby. With rugby out of the picture, he devoted his time to improving his beer-pong skills. After graduation, he got more serious, setting up the Maryland Beer Pong league with a former roommate in 2005. “We started Maryland Beer Pong because we wanted to compete, and there wasn’t any real way of competing with people at a high level,” Lanham said. “Once we started (Maryland) Beer Pong, and at the state level I was beating everyone — that’s when I got the idea that I was pretty good.” See GAME, Page 2C

ren Carpenter vibe going on there? A: She was a marriage of a few different influences, including a David Bailey book called “Birth of the Cool” that has all these ultra-glamorous girls with that big hair and that look. It was a combination that fit Michelle to a T. Q: She also favors a lot of very large and very ornate necklaces. Where did those come from? A: The necklaces were these weird copper and enamel crafts people made back then. I remember these jewelry classes — I was way too little to take them, but my mom did — that taught everybody how to make this kind of wire and enamel pieces. We figured that if (her character) was into macrame, she probably would have branched out into making metal pieces as well. The pieces she’s wearing are actually vintage ones I found on Portobello Road in London.

It’s actually an original piece — probably from the ’40s — that I found at a flea market. Q: What about for Eva Green, who plays a witch named Angelique Bouchard? A: A line in the script described Eva’s character as looking like she’d stepped out of a Virginia Slims ad, so we went with a sleek, businessy look when we introduced her into the story. She’s a totally modern woman, so we didn’t want the sort of witchy look you would expect. Q: The most eye-catching piece Angelique wears is a floorlength, bosom-baring, body-hugging, blood-red dress covered in sparkling paillettes. Was that a vintage find? A: Oh, no, that was made. You don’t find a dress like that that fits the way it does on the rack, honey. Q: And Michelle Pfeiffer’s family matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard? Was there a kind of Ka-

London called the Hammersmith Textile Fair that takes place once a month or so, and I was a regular visitor to that on my Sundays because they had some great stuff. Q: What was the inspiration for some of the principal characters’ costumes? A: For Johnny’s character, we wanted to keep him really simple and singular but also have a nod to the period. I had fun with finding all the potential things that crossed over from the 18th century to 1972 — there ended up being a lot of emphasis on the collar. Q: One standout piece Barnabas Collins wears is a silk smoking jacket covered in a wavy pattern that looks almost like feathers or flower petals. What’s the story behind that? A: I loved that because it was so Tim. It’s a weird swirly pattern that from far away I suppose could be feathers, but when you see it close up it’s more like those weird bull’s-eye things Tim likes.

Costume designer Colleen Atwood was more than up for the challenge to design costumes for the movie ‘Dark Shadows.’

GAME The league thrived because it welcomed everybody, with little athletic skill required. “There’s nothing that separates a great player from a mediocre player from a physical standpoint. It’s something everyone can do,” Lanham said. More than 2,900 beer pong teams have played in the league since it formed in 2005. Maryland Beer Pong has yearround leagues. Each league lasts six to 10 weeks and culminates with tournaments, including a statewide one. In the early days of Maryland Beer Pong, players said it offered a nice balance of competition and fun. That changed with the creation of the World Series of Beer Pong in 2006. The shot at winning an international competition — which now has a first prize of $50,000 — convinced players to take the game more seriously. The World Series of Beer Pong is the sport’s ultimate stage. The first World Series took place in January 2006, when 80 teams from the United States and Canada competed for a $10,000 prize. During the 2010 tournament, more than 500 teams, including players from 46 different states and nine countries, battled for the crown and a $50,000 prize. The competition is intense. The best player in a group of friends is likely to be an average player at best at the World Series, Lanham said. “Everybody thinks they’re amazing at beer pong. It’s not until (they) play against players that are actually good that they realize that may not be the case,” Lanham said. It takes years of experience and serious competition to compete on a national or international stage. There’s an official table and official rules. Lanham finished fifth during his first World Series in 2006. “It’s not like other sports like football or wrestling where you get in the moment, you get your adrenaline going. Beer pong is a lot different than that. There’s a very fine line between missing a shot and hitting it. Close doesn’t count. You can get rattled, and you can get in your own head,” he said.

Wilkes-Barre Academy students recently raised $1,000 during the ‘Paws Fur a Cause’ event. Students who donated money were encouraged to dress in their favorite animal costumes and sign their names on the ‘Paws Fur a Cause’ canvas that will hang in the school. All proceeds were donated to the local no-kill shelter, Blue Chip Farms, Dallas. Some of the participants, from left, are Ryan Andress, Angelina Opachko and Camron Cipriani.

shortage of source material, so where did you turn for inspiration? A: Some of it was from reference materials and some of it I remember from growing up in the ’70s. Then there was also a nod to the old show. I tried to pay homage to that with things like Johnny’s little cape coat that he wears. Q: In costume on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, Depp looks like he’s wearing a forest green cape. Is Barnabas Collins a vampire of a different color? A: It’s actually a very, very dark green wool, but that tends to actually (show up on screen) as black with a little bit of highlighting, which sometimes works better. Q: Was that made for him or was it a vintage find? It seems like there might be a lot of ’70s stuff at vintage shops and flea markets. A: We made it; about 75 percent of the principals’ costumes were made. For the day players and the crowd scenes, it was mostly rental stock that came from the U.S. because it’s an American story and the clothes had a different feeling from the British stuff. Q: Was this a fun movie to costume? A: It’s a period that when you look back on it, you can’t kind of believe that people really did it. Most of us could remember what it was like, so we had a good laugh when people came to set. Q: Where did you source the fabrics — the paisleys, the velvets, the laces — for the pieces that were made? A: There’s a great textile fair in

THURSDAY, MAY 24, 2012 PAGE 7C

Aunt is often left home alone due to her niece’s poor holiday plans Dear Abby: My sister “Ruth” and I spent most holidays dining out together after our families grew up and left home. Ruth died last year and her daughter “Lara” began inviting me for holidays “so I wouldn’t be alone.” I have tried to decline, but she persists. Her plans are always tentative and often change at the last minute. Last Christmas she invited me to a community holiday dinner at 2 p.m. with her friends. At the last minute she called to say we’d be dining at her house in the evening instead, which meant I spent the entire day alone doing nothing. The dinner was grim because they were arguing.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE At Easter, Lara called saying plans were “up in the air.” At noon on Easter day, she called to say they planned to hike in the state park and have a picnic — something that I physically cannot do. So, once again, I spent the holiday alone. Should I call Lara and tell her exactly how I feel, or just write a script for the next time she calls? — Had It in the Southwest Dear Had It: If you’d prefer to spend the holidays with friends instead of being reminded of sad memories and feeling obligated, you should decline

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Lara’s future invitations. If your niece pressures you, explain that you have already made plans with friends. Although her heart may be in the right place, from your description of your niece’s social skills, they leave much to be desired. Do not allow her to make you feel guilty and change your mind. Your feelings are valid. Dear Abby: I am a 45-year-old single male with a job I enjoy. Last June, a cousin who is close to my age married for the second time. He married a girl 20 years younger whom he had known less than six months. Although I was unable to attend the wedding, I sent them a nice card with a generous cash gift. I never received a thank-you note for it and although I was offended, I overlooked

CRYPTOQUOTE

their rudeness. Six weeks later, my cousin’s new bride called my place of employment and left an “emergency” message to phone her. Very worried, I called her immediately. The “emergency” turned out to be a request for a loan of $500. I was angry but tried not to show it. After thinking about it, I agreed to the loan, although my cousin’s wife had hinted that I should give them a larger amount. We agreed on a repayment plan. It has been more than eight months and they have made no effort to pay me back. To make matters worse, they avoid me. I am angry, hurt and feel my trust has been betrayed. What do you think I should do now? — Used in Missouri

Dear Used: I think you should write off the loan and thank your lucky stars that you weren’t conned into giving this deadbeat couple more money. If you are asked for more — which isn’t out of the realm of possibility — you can now say, “No, because you didn’t repay the first loan I gave you.” Think about it. You may have gotten off cheap.

To receive a collection of Abby’s most memorable — and most frequently requested — poems and essays, send a business-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It will help you to allow yourself a bit of leisure time at the end of each activity. This paves the way for a smooth transition and keeps your overall stress level low, which, by the way, is very attractive to others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Experience has taught you much, but memories could teach you even more if you let them. Reflecting back on a situation will add new layers of insight and perhaps even bring you a glorious “aha!” moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be at home in the world. It doesn’t matter which section of it you are traveling; it’s all yours today. But don’t tell the others. They’ll only be jealous. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The one in charge sees something in you, and all you have to do is more of what you’ve been doing. Remember the old adage, and “don’t sell it when it’s already sold.” LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll do whatever it takes to improve your game. You’ll learn nuances that go beyond the rules and educate yourself to the particular culture of the other players. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You sometimes see without being aware of what you’re seeing because it’s too complicated, unpleasant or boring for your eyes to take in. Today you won’t miss a thing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are safer than 99 percent of all humanity that has ever lived. The biggest threat to you is stress — and that’s something

you can manage if you put your mind to it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be the fix-it person. Regardless of where the blame should go, you’ll step up, assess the situation and begin repairs. If the broken thing is a relationship, you’ll find common ground and build from there. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may find yourself at a loss for words, but that doesn’t matter. What the world really needs more of is your superb smile. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Technology makes the world more accessible to you, and it also makes you more accessible to the world. You’ll hear from people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be susceptible to the influence of overly excited or worried people. If you have to be around tension, take a deep breath and count your exhale as “number one.” By “number 10,” you’ll return to being in total control. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be focused on a goal. Be sure to note when you’ve achieved it, as it’s something to celebrate. Noting your accomplishments isn’t egotistical. It gives you the fuel to aim for future successes. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 24). It’s a year for advancing your personal interests and exploring your talents. From the start of June, you realize that you have a knack for finding the best opportunities. As long as you follow through, you will succeed. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 34, 1, 17 and 40.
