Jonathan Balester, 56, was a minority partner with Balester Optical

Suspicious death is investigated By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

KINGSTON TWP. – A wellknown businessman was found dead late Thursday night inside his home on North Lehigh Street in a quiet neighborhood of Shavertown. State police at Wyoming identified the man as 56-year-old Jonathan Balester. Investigators have not released the cause of death. An autopsy is scheduled for 9 a.m. to-

day, Coroner John Corcoran said. Balester was a minority partner with Balester Optical, a family Balester business located in Wilkes-Barre, and owned ABBA Advertising Products, which sold T-shirts, coffee mugs and calendars. He was also director of volunteers for the Luzerne

somebody was down and out, he had an apartment in back and he would let them stay there until they got back on their feet,” said Jack Barbose, 72, who lives about 200 feet from Balester’s house. “He was a good, giving guy.” Anita Grohowski, 55, of North Lehigh Street, said Balester was a “quiet, caring neighbor.” “When we had a power outage last year, he went around and checked on everyone,” Grohow-

Barbose said he last saw Balester about a week ago, and heard him outside on a telephone on Wednesday, when state police believe he was last seen alive. “We’re asking anyone who knew him or saw him in recent days to call us,” Trooper Martin Connors said.

Soper said discussions from the meeting, as well as other details related to Lee’s request, would not be discussed as they are personnel issues and the board has agreed to keep all discussions at meetings confidential.

Tax hike for W-B schools looming

WILKES-BARRE – WilkesBarre Area School Board members on Friday voted to approve a proposed budget with a 1.9-percent property tax increase and requested more information on the feasibility of switching to a fourday school week. The 0.2865-mill tax hike would add about 29 cents for every $1,000 of assessed property value to a tax bill. That would amount to an additional $28.65 in taxes “If you’re on a home valued at cutting $100,000. elementary The administration man- principals’ aged to elimi- (hours), nate $2.3 milwhat about lion in expenditures from an secondary initial budget, … princibut the district still faces a pals?” nearly $3 mil- Maryanne Toole lion deficit even Board member with the tax increase, and board members indicated they don’t want to dip into the district’s $8 million surplus to shore it up. The biggest savings – $1.6 million – came from replacing only six of 18 retiring teachers. But Superintendent Jeff Namey said he won’t risk making classes too large. “My job is to make sure that even though we are saving that kind of money that we are not allowing our class size to get to a point of being ridiculous. Even though the governor has made a public statement that 35 in an elementary school (class) is appropriate, I disagree,” he said. Some other savings came from eliminating summer school and making all elementary principals 10-month employees instead of 12-month employees.

Jeffrey Wayman of Cape Charles, Va., spent Friday riding his motorcycle to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, a day trip with his wife. They decided to eat snacks in a gas station parking lot rather than buy lunch because rising fuel prices have eaten so much into their budget over the past year that they can’t ride as frequently as they would like. “We used to do it a lot more, but not as much now,” he said. “You have to cut back when you have a $480 gas bill a month.”

NEW YORK — There’s less money this summer for hotel rooms, surfboards and bathing suits. It’s all going into the gas tank. High prices at the pump are putting a squeeze on the family budget as the traditional summer driving season begins.

Hot time in the courthouse, but cool air coming An upgrade of the heating and cooling system was delayed by late-season cold. By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

It’s been stuffy in the Luzerne County Courthouse lately because the air-conditioning system is being upgraded, but county Engineer Joe Gibbons said cool air will soon be pumped into parts of the building. The work is part of a $2.2 million heating and air conditioning rehabilitation primarily funded by federal stimulus money targeted for energy efficiency. The system, when complete, will have computer-operated controls that automatically adjust air handlers to keep the building at a preset temperature, reducing electricity usage by an estimated 20 percent, Gibbons said. Contractors could not complete work on the air conditioning sooner because they’re replacing 12 air handlers that are used to both heat and cool the century-old building, Gibbons said. The handlers force air over chilled water coils when it’s hot out and over hot water coils in the cold season. The heat had to be kept on until the end of April, which didn’t leave enough time to complete the work before the air conditioning was needed, he said, noting that the situation was anticipated.

“There’s not physically enough time to replace all the air handlers and do all the duct work and reconnection of the electrical and testing in a month’s time,” Gibbons said. Cutting off heat early was not an option, he said. “It was vital to provide heat. We don’t want frozen pipes in a building,” he said. Gibbons advised contractors to first focus on the air handlers that chill the third-floor courtrooms because heat rises. Cool air should be manually restored to the third floor by the end of next week, which will also help lower temperatures in the rest of the building, he said. Air conditioning should return to other floors by the end of June, he said, dispelling a rumor that the cooling system won’t be operational until September. “We would never leave the courthouse without cooling for the summer,” he said. The existing heating/cooling system hadn’t been replaced in at least four decades, and the piping is no longer being made, he said. Gibbons said the system, when installed, will include a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Energy Star portfolio manager program that allows the county to track energy consumption and the dollar amount of savings. Roughly $200,000 in county funding will be spent on the project.

The emergency room at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital was temporarily shut down Friday night as a precaution after a man involved in a motor vehicle accident and the first responders who treated him might have been exposed to a potentially hazardous material. Steve Bekanich, coordinator of the Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency, identified the material as hydrogen sulfide, which is similar to sewer gas. In high concentrations in enclosed areas, the gas can be hazardous because it doesn’t allow oxygen to get into the bloodstream, he said. “As a precaution, we requested the hospital to quarantine all the people involved,” he said. Bekanich and members of the EMA’s hazardous materials response unit were called to the one-vehicle crash at the intersection of Shadetree and Woodbine roads in Kingston Township shortly after 8 p.m. Bekanich said the substance was sprayed throughout the interior of a sports utility vehicle that struck a tree. At one point Bekanich put on a protective suit and strapped on an air tank and mask to search the interior of the SUV. How the substance got into the vehicle is still under investigation, he said. The name of the driver and his condition were unavailable. EMA personnel as well as fire, police, ambulance, the state Department of Environmental Protection and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources responded to the crash scene.

1 9 9 6 A U T O C R A S H In long-running case, judge rules city may not seize cash from settlement

W-B loses try to recoup money By TERRIE MORGAN-BESECKER tmorgan@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – The city has suffered another court loss in its attempt to recoup part of a $500,000 lawsuit settlement a city police officer received after his cruiser was struck by another vehicle. A federal judge on Monday ruled the city does not have the right to recover more than $425,000 in Heart and Lung benefits it paid to Officer George Cole from the proceeds of the settlement, which has been tied up in a bankruptcy case for several years. The decision is the latest in a series of conflicting rulings in the highly contentious and convoluted legal battle the city has waged with a trustee for the bankruptcy court since 2007. The city scored a victory in Sep-

Strong’s sister takes the stand

tember 2009 when the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it was entitled to recoup the money from the settlement, which Cole reached with the other driver’s insurance company. But U.S. District Judge James Munley’s ruling on Monday negated the Third Circuit court’s decision. Munley’s ruling means the city is not entitled to any of the approximately $372,000 in net assets that are left in Cole’s bankruptcy estate. That money instead will go to Cole’s creditors and attorneys’ fees, with any portion left over being paid to Cole, said Paul Perlstein, the attorney representing the bankruptcy estate. The dispute centered on whether the city had the legal right to recover part of the Heart and Lung benefits it paid to Cole for nine years after he

The dispute centered on whether the city had the legal right to recover part of the Heart and Lung benefits it paid to Cole for nine years after he was injured in a 1996 car crash while on patrol. Cole eventually recovered and returned to work in 2005.

Under Pennsylvania Law, an employer can seek to recoup workers’ compensation benefits it paid to an employee if that employee later recovers monetary damages from a third party that caused the injury. There has been a legal dispute whether an employer could recover benefits paid under the Heart and Lung Act, which have been treated differently. In its 2009 decision, the Third Circuit Court said it believed Heart and Lung and workers’ compensation benefits were essentially identical, therefore the city could recoup its payments from the settlement funds that were paid into the bankruptcy court on Cole’s behalf. The decision was not final, howev-

was injured in a 1996 car crash while on patrol. Cole eventually recovered and returned to work in 2005. The Heart and Lung Act pays the salary of a police officer who is injured on the job. It is similar to workers’ compensation except it pays the employee’s full salary, whereas workers’ compensation pays only a portion. See LOSS, Page 6A

Wyoming Seminary Lower School Family Field Day

Joyce Strong testified her brother was physically punished by their father as a child. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Of the four Strong children, James Strong received the brunt of the physical punishment from their father, Joyce Strong testified Friday. Joyce Strong said in the second day of testimony in James Strong’s sentencing hearing that she suspected her brother received harsher punishment – by way of dog whip and a hammer – because her father was jealous of another male in the house – Strong – who had a close relationship with their mother. “We were a loving family, but my father Strong had a problem with anger,” Joyce Strong said, who is16 months older than her brother and the first of the Strong children. On Wednesday, James Strong was convicted by a Luzerne County jury of firstdegree murder in the shooting death of John Strock in August 1983 in a wooded area in Dorrance Township. A sentencing hearing began Thursday; the jury will then decide if Strong will spend the rest of his life in prison or receive the death penalty. Prosecutors finished calling witnesses Friday morning, followed by Strong’s attorneys calling witnesses to testify on behalf of the 59-year-old Strong, including his sister and mother. Joyce Strong, a retired U.S. Navy officer and now an ordained minister, testified that her brother was not a good student growing up, that the family had moved14 different times before she graduated high school and that her brother never really had any friends and only ever went on two dates. Close relationship Strong, of Alabama, said she stood up for her brother as a child, fending off a bully in one scenario while living in Pensacola, Fla., and was close to him until the two grew older. “We were disciplined by my father. He didn’t have the patience for us. We were afraid of him,” Strong said. Most of Strong’s testimony centered around the routine beatings she and her brother would receive from their father, and that they were struck with either a belt or a leather dog whip. “He whipped us and he did whip us in anger,” Strong said. “And he seemed to grow more angry with each blow.” Their father had a quick temper and uncontrollable anger, Strong said, and their mother wasn’t around when the abuse would happen. Their mother, Gennetta Strong, who has been present for each day’s proceedings, did not stay in the courtroom to hear her daughter’s testimony Friday. “Jim never was a smart mouth,” Joyce See STRONG, Page 6A

Q: Aren’t larger dairy farms better because they feed more people? A: There is no doubt that larger dairy farms produce more milk but I think it is important to focus on milk quality as well as quantity. You see, smaller dairy farms typically have 100 or less members in the herd, which means cows probably spend many hours outdoors doing what they were designed to do – walk in pastures and eat fresh grass. Cows that eat fresh grass produce a very important fat, “Conjugated Linoleic Acid,” or CLA, that has been linked to many health beneﬁts, including lower cancer rates in humans. In fact, milk from a pastured cow has up to ﬁve times more CLA than milk from industrial dairy farms. Plus, milk from grass-fed cows is a vitamin powerhouse having higher levels of betacarotene, Vitamin A and Vitamin E. You will notice that pastured milk richer in texture

and color. And of course dairy products from grass-fed cows taste delicious! Here is another important fact: Smaller dairy farms spend most of their money locally, which supports the local economy. This has a positive multiplier effect more than two times the original dollar. So, for every $1 a dairy farm spends nearly $2.50 in wages and related business transactions is contributed to the local economy. Please remember: • Pastured cows and generally more relaxed, less-stressed cows; happier cows make better, tastier milk • National, credible university studies support findings that CLA helps fight cancer and heart disease • Smaller dairy farms spend more money locally, which helps our Pennsylvania families, neighbors and overall community This week’s Great Question came from Amber M. who lives in Swoyersville. Amber will receive a $10 certificate to our dairy store. Please send your Great Question to PrecociousKnows@ thelandsathillsidefarms.org. See you next week!

JOPLIN, Mo. — The death toll from the massive tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo., reached 132 Friday, a city spokeswoman said, while the state worked to pare down the list of people missing and unaccounted for since the storm. Joplin city spokeswoman Lynn Onstot confirmed to The Associated Press that the death toll had risen by six from the previous day, shortly before state officials announced that the missing list had been trimmed to 156 people. Officials were working around the clock to account for everyone on the list, Missouri Department of Public Safety deputy director Andrea Spillars told a morning news conference. Spillars said at least 90 people on the original list had been located alive. But

at least six were identified as among the dead, and some new names had been added to the scroll of the missing. Authorities had said they believed many of the missing were alive and safe but simply hadn’t been in touch with friends and family, in part because cell phone service has been spotty. But they also cautioned that they believed some of those originally listed may have been killed in the storm. Search and rescue crews remained undeterred, with 600 volunteers and 50 dog teams out again. Friday. All of the numbers describing Sunday’s storm are nothing short of numbing. The tornado — an EF5 monster packing 200 mph winds — was the nation’s deadliest single twister in more than six decades. More than 900 people were injured.

At least 19 bodies have been identified and released to relatives, Spillars said, a small fraction of the overall death count. Identification of the deceased has been slow because officials have taken extra precautions since a woman misidentified one victim as her son in the chaotic hours after the tornado hit. Authorities say their deliberate efforts on identifying the bodies are necessary to avoid more mishaps. “It is important that we be absolutely accurate in this process,” Spillars said.

he opening of the Gaza Strip’s main gateway to outside world this weekend provides a long-awaited relief for its population and hands the Palestinian territory’s Hamas rulers a significant achievement. But it highlights the deterioration in Egypt’s relations with Israel since protesters forced Hosni Mubarak from office in February. Egypt’s plans to open the Rafah crossing on its border with Gaza today have raised Israeli worries that Hamas militants will be able to move more freely in and out of the long blockaded territory. The decision by Egypt, announced soon after Mubarak fell and the military took power, was a dramatic reversal. Mubarak, who like Israel considered the Iran-backed Islamic militants of Hamas to be a threat, had cooperated with Israel in imposing a blockade on Gaza that greatly restricted movement.

MOREHEAD CITY, N.C.

Blackbeard’s anchor found

Archaeologists recovered the first anchor from what’s believed to be the wreck of the pirate Blackbeard’s flagship off the North Carolina coast Friday, a move that might change plans about how to save the rest of the almost 300-year-old artifacts from the central part of the ship. Divers had planned to recover the second-largest artifact on what’s believed to be the Queen Anne’s Revenge but discovered it was too well-attached to other items in the ballast pile, said project director Mark Wilde-Ramsing. Instead they pulled up another anchor that is the third-largest artifact and likely was the typical anchor for the ship. Apparently, pirates had everyday anchors and special anchors just as the rest of us have everyday dishes and good china. CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.

NASA finishes its part

NASA completed its part in the construction of the International Space Station on Friday, with the final spacewalkers in the 30-year shuttle program attaching an extension boom. “Twelve years of building and 15 countries and now it’s the Parthenon in the sky and hopefully the doorstep to our future,” spacewalker Gregory Chamitoff said before heading back inside. “So congratulations everybody on assembly complete.” Chamitoff said it was fitting for space shuttle Endeavour to be at the space station for the end of construction since it was there for the first assembly mission in December 1998. It was the fourth spacewalk in a week for the Endeavour astronauts, who are headed back to Earth in just a few days to end NASA’s next-to-last shuttle flight. One last flight in July will bring up supplies. BERLIN

Nuke reactors staying shut

Germany is set to keep its seven oldest nuclear reactors shut down for good, officials said Friday, as the country pushed ahead with its determination to leave behind nuclear power completely. The seven reactors built before 1980, of a total of 17 in the country, were initially taken off the grid for three months following Japan’s Fukushima disaster, pending a safety review. But federal Enivoronment Minister Norbert Roettgen and ministers from Germany’s 16 states agreed Friday at a meeting in the central town of Wernigerode that they should be kept shut down permanently when the moratorium is up, news agency DAPD reported.

Challenges await Obama’s return President has kept a watchful eye on U.S. events as he toured Europe to strengthen relationships with allies. By NANCY BENAC Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland — Hope you’ve enjoyed your European trip, Mr. President. A lot’s awaiting your attention on your return Saturday. The field of GOP presidential candidates angling to take your job has shifted considerably. Congress is growing impatient with the pace of withdrawing American troops from Afghanistan. And the mess over the federal debt limit remains, well, messy. Spring storms have taken a steep toll in the South and Midwest. World events have competed for public attention, in-

cluding the capture of alleged war criminal Ratko Mladic and the stepped-up NATO-led bombing campaign in Libya. There has been good news for you, as well. Obama Democrats won a special House election in New York that was seen as a fine omen for your party’s prospects in 2012. Word came that Chrysler had paid back most of the loan money your administration orchestrated. And the Patriot Act to fight terrorism was renewed just in time for you to sign it into law — from afar by autopen. None of this news has been lost on Obama as he has traveled Europe. He’s kept a watchful eye on events at home as he’s devoted the week to the business of strengthening relationships with

Western allies and marshaling support for democratic stirrings in the Middle East and North Africa. On Friday he arrived in Poland, the final stop on his itinerary, to connect with an ally that has sometimes felt slighted and to underscore the growing importance of Central and Eastern Europe in world affairs. Obama will hold two days of political meetings focusing on security, energy and joint U.S.-Polish efforts to promote democracy in North Africa, Belarus and elsewhere in Eastern Europe. But unlike past U.S. presidents who visited this nation of 38 million, Obama will not meet or address the Polish public directly. He opened the visit by spending time at a memorial to those slain in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against Nazis, meeting Holocaust survivors and leaders of Poland’s Jewish community.

DEAUVILLE, France — Russia abandoned one-time ally Moammar Gadhafi and offered Friday to mediate a deal for the Libyan leader to leave the country he has ruled for more than 40 years. The striking proposal by a leading critic of the NATO bombing campaign reflects growing international frustration with the Libyan crisis and a desire by the Kremlin for influence in the rapidly changing Arab land“He should scape. With Gadhafi leave. I proincreasingly posed our isolated and mediation NATO jets intensifying their services to attacks, Russia my partners. may also be Everyone eyeing Libya’s thinks that oil and gas and preparing for would be the prospect useful.” that the lucraDmitry tive Libyan Medvedev market will fall Russian into full rebel president control. “He should leave,” Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said of Gadhafi. “I proposed our mediation services to my partners. Everyone thinks that would be useful.” The proposal thrust Medvedev into the spotlight at a summit in France of Group of Eight rich nations. Talk of this year’s Arab world uprisings has dominated the summit. Analysts question whether Russia still has any leverage over Gadhafi, and the leaders of France, Britain and Germany said there’s no point in negotiating directly with the Libyan leader himself.

Hillary Clinton: Bin Laden killing watershed moment for Pakistan By ANNE GEARAN and NAHAL TOOSI Associated Press

ISLAMABAD — The killing of Osama bin Laden is a watershed moment for Pakistan’s confrontation with homegrown terrorism, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Friday. She sought to patch relations rocked by knowledge that the terror mastermind lived

for years in a country receiving billions in U.S. counterterror aid and that the U.S. didn’t trust its ally enough to alert Pakistani leaders that the raid was coming. “We have reached a turning point” following the long hunt for bin Laden, Clinton said after intensive meetings in the Pakistani capital under tight security. “It is up to the Pakistani

people to choose what kind of country they wish to live in,” Clinton said, “and it is up to the leaders of Pakistan to deliver results.” Clinton and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, praised Pakistan’s stand against some militants and challenged its leaders to take decisive steps to jointly take on al-Qaida.

Board member Maryanne Toole said that as a former elementary principal, she disagreed with the reduction, noting that she put in many unpaid hours and was a strong proponent of making all elementary principals 12-month employees because of the time needed to ready a school to open in the fall. “You can rest assured I want to discuss this further. … If you’re cutting elementary principals’ (hours), what about secondary … principals?” she said. Namey said elementary scheduling is now complete by the end of the school year but secondary scheduling is not. Board member Dr. Robert Corcoran asked about closing Meyers High School as a costsavings measure. Budget and Finance Committee Chairwoman Christine Katsock said building repairs cost $7 million over the past five years. Namey said closing the school for next school year would be impossible.

er, as a separate legal issue remained unresolved. The Third Circuit court returned the case to Munley for consideration on the other issue. The problem for the city is that, while the case was pending, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a ruling in an unrelated case from Pittsburgh that changed Pennsylvania’s law relating to the ability of an employer to attach Heart and Lung benefits. The state’s high court ruled Heart and Lung benefits could not be attached by an employer – a decision that was in direct conflict with the Third Circuit Court’s ruling.

Board member Phil Latinski said he worried about negative effects, such as a 9.1-hour school day pushing the students too far. And he doubted whether scheduling for a four-day week could be completed in time for the start of the school year.

He maintained Munley could not now go back in time and reverse the ruling based on a separate decision that came down after the fact. Munley disagreed. In his opinion, Munley said federal law requires that he base his decision on the state law that is in effect at the time the case is being reviewed. Munley acknowledged that the Cole case only remained open because he was reviewing a legal issue separate from the right of an employer to recover Heart and Lung benefits. He determined that did not matter, however.

and was exposed to the church bombing, but their home was not violent, she said. “Our home was not a cold, abusive, dysfunctional home,” Gennetta Strong testified through her Southern accent. Gennetta Strong said she only witnessed evidence of abuse on her son once when she observed red stripes on his back when he was around 12 years old, and that she told her husband it was not acceptable behavior in their home. “I said I couldn’t have that…and that I would get a divorce,” Gen-

netta Strong said, adding that she instructed her husband he would support the children, but that the two never divorced. Strong said her son was involved in softball, football, wrestling, track and field and Boy Scouts. As a boy, James Strong loved working on the farm his father’s parents had in St. Francois County, Missouri and helping harvest crops and taking care of livestock. The last of the prosecution witnesses was a citizen of Hawaii called to testify.

Russell James, of Kaneohe, Hawaii, testified he picked up a hitchhiking James Strong on July 4, 1969 in Baltimore, Md., when he was about 19 years old. James testified that with a gun held to his head, he was ordered to drive to an unknown wooded area where Strong and another man removed his wallet and asked him to hand over a ring and his watch. “I said ‘You’ll have to drop me where I stand,’” to get the items, Russell testified, when the two took off with his car.

LAWSUIT

“This has been something she has struggled with the last14 years and still struggles with today,” Ciarimboli said. “She felt very strongly about the safety of the school then and now.” Under federal law, a civil rights case filed in Pennsylvania must be filed within two years of the date of the incident that is the basis of the suit. However, in cases involving a child victim, the statute of limita-

tions does not begin to run until the child turns 18, Ciarimboli said. The lawsuit seeks damages for violations of her civil rights, as well as several other counts, including intentional infliction of emotional distress, assault, battery and false imprisonment. Neither Superintendent Nancy Tkatch nor district solicitor Richard Galtman returned a phone message Friday.

The school has hosted a field day since its incorporation as the Wilkes-Barre Day School in 1939.

HOMICIDE Continued from Page 1A

Thursday, state police said. Investigators with the state police and the District Attorney’s Office spent all night and most of Friday at the house, collecting evidence and interviewing neighbors. Several bags of evidence were taken from the house. Pieces of red plastic, likely a broken tail light, littered the roadway at the entrance to the dirt driveway to Balester’s house. There were no signs that three large trees and a mailbox post at the driveway entrance were struck by a vehicle. A detached garage with a second-floor apartment in the rear of the house was vacant. Two humane officers from the SPCA arrived just before 11 a.m. Friday carrying cages into the house to remove cats. Only one cat was taken from residence that

is surrounded by tall trees, shrubs and overgrown grass. Pastor Dan Miller of Back Mountain Harvest Assembly Church said Balester would often open the apartment to those who needed a place to stay. “He was a good guy, and he would help people,” Miller said. “He wanted to help people with a hand up instead of a hand out. He wouldn’t let anybody stay there but would help those who wanted to help themselves.” Miller said Balester was a member of the congregation for about 11 years, and taught Bible studies to inmates at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility. “It was his faith in God that he turned himself around,” Miller said. “If somebody lost their house and was trying to get back on their feet, he was caring that way. He always believed God helped me out when I needed him, then I’m going to help someone else.” Miller said Balester may have been a quiet neighbor, but was active within the church.

“When Jon was around, he was the life of the party. He was quite the partier 15 years ago,” Miller said. Dale Parmenteri, vice president of Balester Optical, released a statement upon learning of Balester’s death. “We are shocked at the untimely passing of Jonathan Balester. The whole family mourns his loss and our prayers go out to his family.” In 1998, Balester filed a federal civil lawsuit against Hottle’s Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre claiming he was discriminated when told he was not permitted inside the eatery due to a medical disorder. Balester claimed he had achalasia, a disorder that caused him to regularly regurgitate food that remains in the esophagus. He was a regular customer at Hottle’s and often vomited in the restroom.

GAS Alex Martinez, a senior at Arcadia High School outside Los Angeles, said his family’s trips to San Francisco, which they usually take once or more a year, are on hold. As he stopped at a gas station to put $5 of fuel in his car — not much more than a gallon — he said the high prices are crimping social life for him and his friends. “We’re always worrying, ‘How are we going to get home. We’ve got less than half a gallon left,”’ Martinez said. “We definitely can’t go out as much, and we can’t go as far.” As Memorial Day weekend opens, the nationwide average for a gallon of unleaded is $3.81. Though prices have drifted lower in recent days, analysts expect the average price for 2011 to come in higher than the previous record, $3.25 in 2008. A year ago, gas cost $2.76. The squeeze is happening at a time when most people aren’t getting raises, even as the economy recovers. “These increases are not something consumers can shrug off,” says James Hamilton, an economics professor at the University of California, San Diego, who studies gas prices. “It’s a key part of the family budget.” The ramifications are far-reaching for an economy still struggling to gain momentum two years into a recovery. Economists say the gas squeeze makes people feel poorer than they actually are. They’re showing it by limiting spending far beyond the gas station. Wal-Mart recently blamed high gas prices for an eighth straight quarter of lower sales in the U.S. Target said gas prices

The Commerce Department reported Friday that consumer spending rose just 0.1 percent in April, excluding the extra money spent on more expensive gas and food, while wages stayed flat for the second straight month.

Mike Nason, a marketing consultant from Laguna Niguel, Calif., says he’s clipping coupons to save money for gas and cutting back wherever else he can. His daughter Chandler, 17, recently settled for a prom dress that cost $170 instead of asking her parents to spend $400 for another that caught her eye. “In prior years we would have spent more money on the dress, but money has become a big object,” he says. Thetourismindustryisbracing for an uncertain summer. AAA predicts the typical family will spend $692 on its vacation, down 14 percent from $809 last year. Many of those surveyed said they are planning shorter trips and ex-

pect to pinch pennies when they arrive. AAA estimates 34.9 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more from home this weekend, an increase of about 100,000 from last year. But they will have to do more complicated math to make the summer budget work. The median household income in the U.S. before taxes is just below $50,000, or about $4,150 per month. The $369 that families spent last month on gas represented 8.9 percent of monthly household income, according to an analysis by Fred Rozell, retail pricing director at Oil Price Information Service. Since 2000, the average is about 5.7 percent. For the year, the figure is 7.9 percent.

Only twice before have Americans spent this much of their income on gas. In1981, after the last oil crisis, Americans spent 8.8 percent of household income on gas. In July 2008, when oil price spiked, they spent 10.2 percent. Average hourly earnings, meanwhile,haverisenjust1.9percent in the past year. That’s only just enough to keep up with inflation. The good news is that analysts expect gas to fall to $3.50 a gallon in the coming weeks. In order for household gasoline expenses to return to their historical place in the family budget for the year, gas prices would have to fall by about half and stay that way for the rest of the year.

Charles D. Flack Jr. May 26, 2011 Flack, loving husband, faR usty ther and friend to many, passed

away peacefully early Thursday morning, May 26, 2011, at his home in Dallas following a 19-month battle against cancer. He was 56. A lifelong resident of Dallas, Rusty was a son of Joan Flack Nusbaum, Naples, Fla., and Dallas, and the late Charles D. Flack. He graduated from Wyoming Seminary and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Susquehanna University. Most recently, he was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters, an honorary degree from Misericordia University. Chairman of Diamond Consolidated Industries, Wyoming, Rusty led the perforated metal firm from the age of 24, when his father Charlie succumbed to the same disease. Taking over as President, his start at Diamond really began in his early teens, working first as janitor, then learning how to operate machinery, quickly moving through the ranks to production and shift management. His mentor and father figure throughout this early factory education was his oldest friend, John George, whose wise and sometimes harsh lessons provided Rusty with lifelong principles that guided him throughout his successful and entrepreneurial career. Rusty’s business acumen, zest for life and genuine passion for improving our community caused him to be in great demand from a civic and service standpoint. He willingly, graciously and competently served on countless boards in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and nationally and internationally within the perforated metals industry. Translating his ardent patriotism and love of country into behind-thescenes service to his favored political party caused him to be highly sought after as an adviser, motivator and all-around Republican guru. He enjoyed many a fat bastard and coffee at Tony’s in Kingston, engaging in spirited political repartee. He rallied behind and helped revitalize the local Republican Party and enjoyed planning and organizing high profile political fundraisers, in the hope of encouraging others to become proactive in a positive manner. Rusty was a voracious reader, an enthusiastic golfer and loved to travel. He loved being on the water. He sailed on the Chesapeake and in the Virgin Islands, enjoyed boating at Martha’s Vineyard, but especially took pleasure in cruising around Harveys Lake; a frequent sight in his beloved “Rumble,” often accompanied by his devoted canine companions, Jack and Lola. Another passion was music. The consummate entertainer, Rusty was an accomplished guitar player whose soft and gentle tenor voice led many of his less talented friends in hearty interpretations of Beatles, James Taylor, Clapton and CSN harmonies. Faith was a large part of Rusty’s

constitution. A lifelong Episcopalian, he served in various capacities at Prince of Peace Episcopal Church, Dallas, and Grace Episcopal Church, Kingston. He was an acolyte, lector, member of the choir, church school teacher and vestryman. It was the strength of his faith that enabled him to face the challenges of his insidious disease, serving as a shining example of bravery and courage in the looming face of death. In his last weeks, he frequently quoted a line from the movie Braveheart, reflecting that, “Every man dies. Not every man truly lives.” Rusty Flack truly lived. He was preceded in death, in addition to his father, Charles, by an infant daughter, Ashley. Surviving, in addition to his mother, are his wife of 33 years, Kathi (Stine) Flack, Dallas; sons, Charles III, and Alex, both of Harveys Lake; daughter Jamie, Philadelphia, Pa.; sister, Janet Elizabeth, Kingston; brother, Harold II, Center Moreland; as well as nieces and nephews. A Mass of Christian Burial was held yesterday at Grace Episcopal Church. Interment was at Oak Lawn Cemetery, Hanover Township. A Memorial Celebration of Rusty’s life will be held at 11 a.m. today at Church of Christ Uniting, Market Street and Sprague Avenue, Kingston. The Rev. Dr. Carol Ann Fleming, pastor of Church of Christ Uniting, and The Rev. John F. Hartman, pastor of Grace Episcopal Church, will officiate. The Flack family will receive friends in the church following the service. The family would like to thank Dr. Bruce Saidman and the entire staff of Medical Oncology Associates in Kingston for their professional care and personal concern. Memorial contributions may be made to the Rusty Flack Memorial Garden at Grace Episcopal Church, c/o The Luzerne Foundation, 140 Main St., Luzerne, PA 18709; The Charles Flack Scholarship Fund of Misericordia University, 301 Lake St., Dallas, PA 18612; Wyoming Seminary, c/o the Development Office, 201 N. Sprague Ave., Kingston, PA 18704-3593; or to the charity of the donor’s choice. Memorial arrangements have been entrusted to the Harold C. Snowdon Funeral Home Inc., 140 N. Main St., Shavertown.

Jean Munley McCoskey May 26, 2011 Munley McCoskey, 91, of J ean River Street in Forty Fort and for-

merly of Sugar Notch, died Thursday, May 26, 2011, in the presence of her loving and devoted family at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. Born June 27, 1919, in Sugar Notch, she was a daughter of the late Anthony J. and Lillian Gregory Munley. Jean was a graduate of Sugar Notch High School and earned her Bachelor of Arts, cum laude, from Misericordia University in 1939.

Jean was a member of the Parish of the Holy Family in Sugar Notch, where she served as a Eucharistic Minister, and was a former president and secretary of the Altar and Rosary Society. She was a former member of the Pennsylvania Council of Chief Probation Officers and a Director and Secretary of the Luzerne County Federal Credit Union. During her tenure as Chief Juvenile Probation Officer, she was honored by the Pennsylvania Juvenile Court Judges’ Commission for her outstanding work with children and youth. Jean traveled extensively and enjoyed golfing and annual trips to the Notre Dame campus during football season. Her husband, Joseph McCoskey, died in 1981. Sisters, Elinor Kuchinski and Grace Alexander; and brothers, James, Anthony, William and John Munley, also preceded her in

Pittston library receives $48,000 grant Funds will be used to purchase computers, books, video games and furniture. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

PITTSTON – The Pittston Memorial Library will soon make nearly $90,000 in capital improvements, thanks to a new grant announced Friday. U.S. Sen. Robert Casey, DScranton, announced the library will receive a $48,000 Community Facilities Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The grant will be matched 60/40 with a contribution of more than $40,000 from the library’s capital improvements account. “For children especially, when I was growing up and even more so today, libraries are places of learning and enrichment, and I think also a place of tranquility,” Casey said at the library Friday. “In a world that can get pretty

busy and sometimes pretty difficult for a child, a library like this becomes not only a place to read and learn and expand our brains, but also… a place of tranquility, peace, safety and piece of mind,” he said. The grant will fund the purchase of 14 new computers, DVD security cases, new largeprint and audio books for children, a video game system for family game nights, furniture, carpeting and other improvements. Library Director Anne Hogya said improvements such as computers and the game system will help the library fill its role as a community center. Pittston residents often turn to the library for services like Internet access because Pittston doesn’t have a community center, she said. “With the economy around here, we’re the main center for computers and DVDs,” Hogya said. “So we’re a community center.” “The big thing is people look-

themselves.” Addressing members of the library’s board and others gathered at the library Friday, Casey concurred. “The opportunity that comes from libraries really is the beginning of job creation; the beginning of education,” Casey said. “I consider this an investment, not only in education, but literally in our future.” The grant was funded by the USDA Rural Development program, which provides grants to essential community facilities for public use in rural areas as well as grants for water and environmental projects. Pittston is considered a rural community for grant purposes.

CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER

A.C. not sizzling in star power on summer entertainment schedule It’s hard to tell whether the problem is a lack of financial resources on the part of Atlantic City’s 11 casinos, a dearth of available A-level talent or, perhaps more likely, a combination of the two. Whatever the reason, there’s no denying AyCee’s summer entertainment lineup, while certainly boasting plenty of big names, doesn’t quite have the star power we’ve seen in previous years. As it currently stands, between now and Labor Day, there are but a handful of sizzling, au courant attractions booked in Atlantic City, and three of the gigs aren’t

even casino-sponsored. Pop crooner Michael Buble, who is playing the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre Township on June 8, will be in Atlantic City on June 11. Also scheduled are the current crop of insta-stars in this year’s edition of "American Idols Live" (Aug. 18) and "Glee" star Matthew Morrison (July 29), who is tagging along on the New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys road show. All these events are at Boardwalk Hall. Rounding out the hot-’n’-happening quartet is pop diva Rihanna, who along with opener Cee Lo Green, hits Borgata Hotel, Casino & Spa July 17. Not that the menu is totally barren. There is certainly an ade-

quate supply of musical legends due. These icons are led by Paul Simon, who tomorrow makes his Atlantic City solo debut at Borgata. He’ll be followed into the Big B on June 18 by three-fourths of The Monkees (as always, Michael Nesmith wants nothing to do with his 1960s TV teammates); Led Zeppelin-lead singer-turned roots-man Robert Plant (June 25); Steely Dan, which hardly ever toured during its late-’70s/early-’80s heyday but which now hits the road apparently nonstop (July 29); crooner Johnny Mathis (July 10); and seemingly bigger-than-ever Frankie Valli (Aug. 26 and 27). Others making the Borgata scene include country chanteuse Miranda Lambert (June 10); Kid

Judge: Donations ban unconstitutional Cacheris tossed out part of the indictment against two men accused of illegally reimbursing donors to Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns. Cacheris says that under last year’s Citizens United Supreme Court case, corporations enjoy the same right as people to contribute to campaigns.

By MATTHEW BARAKAT Associated Press

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A judge has ruled that the campaign finance law banning corporations from making contributions to federal candidates is unconstitutional. In a ruling issued late Thursday, U.S. District Judge James

The ruling is the first of its kind. The Citizens United case had applied only to independent corporate expenditures, not to actual campaign contributions. In court papers, prosecutors defending the law said overturning the ban on corporate contributions would ignore a century of legal precedent.

Troubled actor Jeff Conaway dies at age of 60 After fame in ‘Grease’ and TV’s ‘Taxi,’ he last appeared on ‘Celebrity Rehab.’ By DENNIS McLELLAN Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Jeff Conaway, an actor who came to fame in the late 1970s as a high school greaser in the hit movie musical “Grease” and as a regular on the TV series “Taxi” but in more recent years was known for his appearances on “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,” died Friday. He was 60. Conaway died at Encino Hospital Medical Center in the San Fernando Valley of complications from pneumonia, said his sister Carla Shreve. He was unconscious when he arrived at the hospital the second week of May, the result of “just too many prescribed drugs,” she said. Conaway had begun appearing in films and on television and had performed in the Broadway production of “Grease” before the movie version starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John was released in 1978. Conaway played Kenickie, the Rydell High School pal of Travolta’s Danny Zuko. Later the same year, Conaway began playing Bobby Wheeler, the cab-driving struggling actor in “Taxi.” The series about a group of New York cabbies, whose ensemble cast included Judd Hirsch, Danny De Vito, Marilu Henner and Tony Danza, ran until 1983. Although the show gave Conaway continued national exposure, he broke his contract and quit after three seasons, having

reportedly grown tired of being typecast as a “blond bimbo” and the butt of struggling-actor jokes. Conaway “In ’Taxi,’ I kept doing the same scene for three years,” he told the Toronto Star in 1989. “I was underused — it’s natural when there are seven people involved in a half-hour show.” In a 1985 Associated Press interview, he said that he had become “very depressed” while doing the series. “Hollywood can be a terrible place when you’re depressed. The pits,” he said. “I decided to change my life and do different things.” His various projects, however, did little to further his career. He returned to series TV in 1984, starring as Prince Erik Greystone on “Wizards and Warriors,” a fantasy adventure series that ended after eight episodes. Then came a role on “Berrenger’s,” a short-lived 1985 nighttime soap opera. The same year, Conaway was on Broadway in “The News,” a rock musical about New York City tabloid journalism that closed after two days. He later appeared in the soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful” and the 1990s sci-fi TV series “Babylon 5.” TV guest shots and roles in films and TV movies followed, as did stories of his substance abuse. Conaway already was known for leaving VH1’s “Celebrity Fit Club” for a rehab attempt in 2006 when he joined eight other celeb-

rities on the premiere of VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” in 2008. He was so intoxicated the morning he checked in that subtitles were required to translate his slurred speech. “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” added a new dimension to Conaway’s faded celebrity. “Everywhere I go, people say, ’I watched that show. I was rooting for you, man. Keep it up,”’ he told the News Journal, a Wilmington, Del., newspaper, in 2008. “It’s nice to know people care. I hope it helped some people. I was in terrible, terrible pain, and if I can beat the junkie with that kind of pain going on, so can you.” In a Los Angeles Times interview in January, Conaway said he had developed an addiction to cocaine and pain pills after undergoing back surgery, and as he tried to quit those drugs on the program, he threw tantrums, shouted and blacked out. But, he told the Times, he had ramped up his behavior for the camera. “We all knew we were on TV,” he said. “I think everybody, like myself, made choices. Sometimes we would go a little bit further than maybe we normally would. You can’t help it. There are cameras sitting in front of your face.” When “Celebrity Rehab 2 With Dr. Drew” began in November 2008, Conaway was back on the show. Conaway was once married to Olivia Newton-John’s sister, Rona. Besides his sister Carla, he is survived by his wife, Kerri Young Conaway; another sister, Michele Goffin; and a stepson, Emerson.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “The people of Luzerne County have spoken.” James Strong On Wednesday, a jury again found the man accused of killing John Strock in 1983 guilty of first-degree murder. Strong was originally convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1984, a ruling overturned by the state Supreme Court in 2000.

OTHER OPINION: THE SUPREMES

This court needs ethics rules, too

HE SUPREME Court is different from lower federal courts, and not just because its rulings can’t be appealed. Another difference is that its justices are exempt from the ethical standards imposed on judges in less lofty positions. That’s an unjustifiable anomaly that Congress should rectify. The Code of Conduct for United States Judges was established by the U.S. Judicial Conference and covers all federal lower court judges. Among other things, the code says that “a judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities.” Supreme Court justices insist that they too are guided by the code, but when it comes to ensuring public confidence, voluntary compliance is no substitute for mandatory adherence. These vague rules have created controversy on many occasions. Rep. Christopher S. Murphy, D-Conn., has introduced legislation that would

subject Supreme Court justices to the same ethical rules that govern lower court judges while establishing additional rules to make the recusal process more transparent. Under his bill, the justices would be covered by the Code of Conduct, and accusations against them would be referred to the Judicial Conference, a policymaking body created by Congress and made up of judges. A justice who decided to withdraw from a case would be obligated to explain the reason. If a justice rejected a petition to withdraw, the reason for that decision also would have to be made public. If anything, disclosure and ethics rules are more important for the Supreme Court than for lower courts. No one is questioning the court’s position as the final arbiter of the law. But the justices should not have the last word about their own compliance with judicial ethics.

Proposed education budget cuts erode hope for future “EDUCATION IS hope.” This simple, yet powerful, statement is how a Luzerne County Community College student began her talk at the 2011 Legislative Breakfast. The student then went on to describe what has been a challenging two years for her. Not only had she previously lost a job, but she is facing the foreclosure of her homeShe now works 12-hour overnight shifts to make ends meet. Somehow, despite her travails, her message was one of hope and optimism when she spoke of how happy she is to wake up every morning and say, “I go to college.” Evidence of her optimism and commitment to education is her 3.66 grade point average as a science major. As I listened to her talk, I realized that the politicization of education has gotten out of control and that it is time for people to speak up and demand more from our elected officials. Nationally, community colleges are the entry point to higher education for more than 50 percent of students. In our region, LCCC serves 7,200 students and will graduate close to 1,000 students in the class of 2011. Among these students, nearly 50 percent said that if LCCC did not exist they would not have been able to continue their education. This represents a 10 percent increase over the last five years in the number of students who rely on LCCC to further their education. LCCC also has a significantly higher than average retention rate than other community colleges in Pennsylvania, meaning that our students are more likely to graduate. And, we have among the lowest per credit

issued “an extensive questionnaire relative to the diocese in general and specific to each case of allegations” against any priest. Bambera was not in office at the time of the survey and he said he had nothing to do with the study. But he was bishop when the USCCB held one of two annual meetings last November and unveiled a preliminary version of the report, which was finalized and made public this month. “I wasn’t certain what to expect when the preliminary report came out, but we got to see the final report about two weeks before it was made public and it was essentially the same as the preliminary,” Bambera said. Reams of data The report cites reams of data that include the number of priests who faced allegations, the number of those allegations that were substantiated, the number of victims abused, and more nuanced issues such as the years the abusers attended seminary in relation to the year the abuses occurred. Some of the key conclusions: • “No single cause” of sexual abuse of minors by priests is identified by the research, but “Social and cultural changes in the 1960s and 1970s manifested in increased levels of deviant behavior in the general society and also among priests of the Catholic Church in the United States.” • Factors specific to the Church – changes in seminary training, as well as in screening – “contributed to the decline” of abuse cases from the mid 1980s on. • The Church’s requirement that priests be celibate and that only men be priests remained unchanged throughout the period studied, event though the number of abuse cases rose and then declined. Researches conclude this means those Church rules were not factors in the abuse cases. • “A substantial delay in the reporting of sexual abuse is common.” Victims often did not step forward until years, even decades after the abuse occurred. This is largely true in the Diocese of Scranton. Bambera pointed to the most recent allegation leveled against a diocesan priest in February. The accusations stemmed from the priest’s time serving in the Missouri Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph in the 1980s. • Priests who participated in “human formation” training in seminaries – which only became widespread in the 1980s, Bambera noted – were less likely to become abusers. • Less than 5 percent of the priests with allegations of abuse exhibited behavior consistent with a diagnosis of pedophilia. The report argues that it is “inaccurate to refer to abusers as “pedophile priests.” It notes that

LEE Continued from Page 1A

Soper declined comment on a bevy of questions related to Lee’s potential departure and its timing. He said he couldn’t comment on Lee’s contract length, pay or other personnel issues. He did say the board has an expectation, if it grants Lee’s retirement request, that he will stay on to help with the transition of his replacement.

Bishop Joseph Bambera of the Diocese of Scranton says he is aware of the massive social changes spawned by the 1960s and 1970s and their impact on the Catholic Church.

and Bambera said he agrees. He cited his decision to address the abuse issue in his homily during the April 21 “Chrism Mass,” which includes the annual blessing of oils used in various Church sacraments. “That’s something I think we would not have done 10 years ago,” Bambera said. He also pointed to the fact that he agreed to an open interview on the topic. “This is a necessary dimension of my job, to tell the public how we handle the situations,” Bambera said. The diocese sticks to five “principles” when abuse allegations are leveled, Bambera said. “Act swiftly. If the allegation is admitted to or substantiated, the priest must be removed from the environment where he is, removed from ministry. Notify civil authorities. Provide outreach to the victims. And be as transparent as one can be.” The John Jay report notes that the Church was often slow to respond fully to the abuse cases. “There is little evidence that diocesan leaders met directly with victims before 2002; consequently, the understanding of the harm of sexual abuse to the victim was limited,” the report notes. “The procedures for formal canonical response … were complicated, time-consuming, and often avoided.” Asked if he feels his predecessors handled abuse allegations effectively, Bambera – who has been criticized himself by a national victim’s advocacy group – demurred. “Every case is unique,” he said. “So it is difficult for me to say what Bishop Martino, or Bishop (James) Timlin or Bishop (Jerome) Hannan did is right or wrong. “When I get a case, the public can look at it and make assumptions. I know all the details.”

Critics in lay media The report’s conclusion that much of the problem stemmed from the social changes of the 1960s and 1970s has evoked strong criticism in lay media. The Philadelphia Inquirer satirized the notion in an editorial cartoon, and pundits have portrayed it as scapegoating. But Bambera said if you read the full report, it makes a strong case, one his own experience backs up. “I grew up in Carbondale when Woodstock was going on,” he said, referring to the 1969 rock music festival in New York that drew an estimated 500,000 people and became an icon of the era. Woodstock occurred about 100 miles from Carbondale, and Bambera, who would have turned 13 that year, recalled how people passing through would often ask directions to the farm where the event was held. “I can remember when media descended on that place, it was a

While the John Jay report conThe diocese has changed the seminaries it uses. Previously, cludes that the emphasis on hu-

man formation has gone a long way to reducing abuse cases, it notes that many past cases occurred years after a priest left the seminary, and suggests it is important for a diocese to conduct regular assessments of priests after they enter ministry. Bambera said the diocese does that in a number of ways now. The biggest is a mandate following the 2002 outbreak of national news stories about failures by the Church to be quick and upfront in dealing with abuse cases. The diocese began requiring all priests – as well as employees and volunteers who serve for more than 20 hours in a year - to Diocese data undergo training on recognizing Data the diocese provided the and preventing abuse.

The board would have to agree to the retirement request, Soper said, though no timetable was finalized for a decision to be made. “He has been extremely successful in making the United Way of Wyoming Valley an agency that is able to help thousands of people each year in the community,” Soper said. In lieu of detailed statements about the meeting, Soper issued a one-paragraph press release detailing his calling of the meeting. It read:

“The United Way has been advised of David Lee’s consideration of retirement. As a consequence, and in order to assure that the United Way has a plan for administration and transition on a going forward basis, I called a meeting of the Board of Directors of the United Way in order to advise them of the communication from Mr. Lee, as well as to discuss with them the terms for Mr. Lee’s potential retirement and its timing.” During the United Way’s annual meeting and awards event

at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in Plains Township on Tuesday, Lee was noticeably absent. His name has been taken off the group’s staff list portion of its website. Lee grew up in Rock Island, Ill., and is a graduate of Augustana College and George Williams College – both in Illinois – with a degree in sociology and social work and a master’s degree in social work. Lee and his wife, Margie, live in Forty Fort. He has two children, Heather and John, and four grandchildren.

United Way Executive Director David Lee in the United Way office in WilkesBarre on Tuesday.

80 percent of priests who underwent psychological treatment admitted violating their celibacy commitment, but that “most sexual behavior was with adults.” • Priests who acknowledged they were homosexual were no more likely to abuse minors than other priests. Bambera acknowledge discussion of the topic is difficult. “I don’t know if most of the faithful find it palatable to talk about this,” he said. “The main thing is that this is a reminder to me and the people I work with that we constantly have to reassess what we are doing for the victims, and to communicate to the public what we are doing. This is a priority for me.”

The next generation Fraternal twins Licia and Paul Witt both want to be doctors like their father, so this fall they will enter the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) together.

Royals roll in playoff rematch

After bizarre D2 title loss last year to Meyers, Redeemer cruises in quarterfinals. WILKES-BARRE – Redemption is a peculiar thing. For Holy Redeemer, redemption doesn’t come from avenging its loss to Meyers – a 14-13 defeat in last year’s District 2 baseball title game. If beating the second-seeded Mohawks by a 9-1 margin in the District 2 Class 2A quarterfinals on Friday was any vindication, Royals coach Chris Ritsick sure didn’t show it. That’ll come, he said, when the Royals, the seventh seed, compete for the district championHOLY ship that was REDEEMER lost in bizarre fashion last June. A refresher: in MEYERS the seventh inning of last year’s title match between the two teams, Meyers’ John Nargoski swung and missed at a third strike in the dirt. The Royals were sent into celebration, unaware of a dropped third strike call that allowed Nargoski to reach first and Ron Missal to score the tying run. An inning later, the Mohawks scored the game-winning run on a wild pitch. Friday’s playoff rematch wasn’t nearly as exciting. The Royals’ Ted Ritsick frustrated the Mohawk offense in the quarterfinal, allowing only three hits and no earned runs to lead his team to a semifinal matchup with Dunmore on Tuesday at Hollenback Park. “He’s crafty,” said coach Ritsick. “He’s who you want in a pressure situation in a pressure game, and he did a great job today.” Meyers’ Nargoski (seven strikeouts) matched Ritsick through the first three innings, holding a 1-0 lead before Christian Choman blasted a three-run home run over the left-field fence in the fourth inning. Choman’s home run opened the flood gates for the Royals (10-7), who poured on a total of six runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Dominick Policare capped

Crawford, Black lead way GAR triple jumper takes fourth in 2A, as does Coughlin long jumper in 3A. By TOM ROBINSON For the Times Leader

SHIPPENSBURG – GAR’s Darrell Crawford and Coughlin’s Shelley Black led the Wyoming Valley Conference’s medal-winning efforts Friday during the first day of the PIAA Track and Field Championships. They may have just been getting started. Crawford vowed to come back stronger after feeling the disappointment of finishing fourth in his best event, the triple jump,

at Shippensburg University. Black, competing in the weakest of her three events, the long jump, also took fourth while qualifying better in her two specialties, the 100 and 300 hurdles. Crawford and Black led a group of five WVC athletes who earned medals, which were awarded in half of the field events. There was one round of qualifying in each track event. “I’m a little disappointed because I didn’t jump my best at states,” said Crawford, who also used Friday’s action to advance to this morning’s semifinals in the Class 2A 110 hurdles. “I’m going to use this as motivation

in the hurdles.” Crawford also has the long jump on this morning’s schedule. The GAR junior was fourth in the state in the triple jump last year when he leaped 44 feet, 10 ¾ inches He exceeded that distance but not the place finish by going 46-7 on Friday. “I was expecting a little more,” Crawford said. “I failed to do what I’ve done in practice.” Black used her season-best effort in the long jump to post her highest place finish in See TRACK , Page 5B

WNBA PRESEASON

Sun wins thriller at Mohegan Former PSU star Mazzante scores 12 points for Silver Stars in losing effort. By RYAN KONOPKI For The Times Leader

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – With 0:18 left on the game clock, Kelly Mazzante nailed her third 3-pointer of the game to send the crowd of 2,139 at Mohegan Sun Arena into a frenzy. The only problem for Mazzante, though, was that her team was down five points before her shot went in. The 22-footer cut the deficit to 71-69. SUN With San Antonio fouling in desperation, Connecticut’s SILVER STARS Kara Lawson and Renee Montgomery sank two free throws each in the final 10 seconds to seal a 75-73 win Friday night as the Sun defeated the Silver Stars in the first WNBA game in area history. The Silver Stars’ Porsha Phillips made her team’s last basket with two seconds remaining, but the Sun ran the clock out off the inbound pass. “It turned out to be a really good event,” said Mazzante, who finished with 12 points on 3-for-4 shooting and four rebounds. All of her shot attempts were from beyond the threepoint line.

RICH HOFMANN OPINION

Kolb now poster boy for lockout

WE BEGIN WITH the disclaimer that no one should feel sorry for Kevin Kolb and his current predicament. He was paid a Wilt-tall stack of spendable money in a signing bonus last year by the Eagles, more than $10 million. There will be no beef-and-beers held on his behalf. You can say that and still recognize the man’s unique journey. In the last 13 months, Kolb has gone from backup to starter to backup to bereft, all without moving a step. He is the same person and the same player. It is the world around him that has swirled uncontrollably — or, rather, uncontrolled by him. And now, in the third month of the NFL’s lockout, his is the name that seems to be the most talked about in the business. It is hard to go more than a couple of days in any national publication without another dissection of Kolb’s fate. Somehow, he has become the face of the lockout. Here is a small example: Wednesday afternoon, ESPN.com put up a blog post with the headline, “Poll: Reasonable price for Kevin Kolb.” The post was actually a promotional vehicle for another story on the site, which also went live Wednesday. Its headline was, “Kevin Kolb worth the risk for Cardinals.” Accompanying that story was a shorter item with the headline, “Potential Kolb Suitors.” (For the record, the odds listed were 2-1 for Arizona, 10-1 for Seattle, 100-1 for Miami and 1,000-1 for Cleveland.) But back to the blog post, which was really just there to pimp the story. It also was accompanied by another Kolb item. This one was the aforementioned poll: “How much should Seattle or Arizona pay for Kevin Kolb?” (After about an hour-and-a-half of voting, the plurality was that two second-rounders was the proper compensation.) At the bottom of the blog post, there was a series of links to other Kolb stories. The headlines on those were, “Where Kolb fits in the NFC West,” “The case against Kolb,” “The case for Kolb,” and “Kolb and the Cardinals.” Filling information vacuums So, if you are keeping score, that is five blog posts, one story, one poll, and one ranking of potential destinations. All there for the clicking. All on one site. Multiply that now by some pretty big number and you begin to understand what is happening. In the absence of news, Kolb’s job seems to have become the filling of all information vacuums. Every hint, every hiccup, every false rumor, produces this cavalcade of speculation disguised as information. He is a quarterback with some ability. He works for a team that has decided to go with Michael Vick instead of him. He also works for a team that is not shy about playing the drumming-upa-market game when the sitSee HOFMANN, Page 5B

Tigers capture rain-shortened game Yankees extend winning streak

By DEREK LEVARSE dlevarse@timesleader.com

TUNKHANNOCK — From the moment the tarps came out, the Dallas dugout had a sinking feeling that the season was over. Tunkhannock had controlled Friday’s District 2 Class 3A quarterfinal from the start, building a six-run lead through four innings. When the skies opened up in the fifth, Dallas had made a dent in the deficit. But the rain only fell harder. The game was stopped in the middle of the fifth. By the time the weather cleared, a large puddle sat between second and third base and the drenched field was deemed unplayable despite diligent work by the Tunkhannock grounds crew. With the home team leading entering the bottom of the fifth, the game was declared official and Tunkhannock had won 7-3. “They told us before the game they wanted to try to get it in,” Tunkhannock coach Gary Custer said. “I feel sorry for the seniors on that team, y’know? But we didn’t make it rain.” The second-seeded Tigers (14-2) advance to the district semifinals, where they will host Abington Heights on Tuesday. UConn-bound pitcher Mike Healey struck out nine in five innings to earn the win, adding a solo homer in the bottom of the fourth to help his cause. Healey had suffered the loss in his last appearance against Dallas, as the Mountaineers rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh on May 16 for a 6-5 win. Custer said that gave his ace some extra motivation for Friday’s game. “Oh yeah,” Custer said. “He had his game face on, yes he did.” Rich Condeelis drove in a pair of runs while Kyle Custer (2for-3), Mike Papi (RBI) and Jeremy Lee (RBI) each doubled for the Tigers to give them a 7-1 lead after four innings. Then came the rain and the frustration for the seventh-seeded Mounts, who argued the game

should have been stopped during a heavy downpour in the top of the fifth. Had the contest been halted at any point while Dallas was still batting, it would not have been an official game. The teams likely would have had to return today to finish up – weather permitting. “We’re all disappointed. Some seniors end their careers with six outs left on the board,” Dallas coach Ken Kashatus said. “Kinda hurts. Take nothing away from Tunkhannock – they can’t control the weather, they have the best groundskeeper in the WVC – nothing but good things to say about their program. “But we’d like to get our six more outs. If we had any say about it.” They didn’t. And tempers flared when the umpires called for tarps

to cover the mound and batter’s box immediately after the top of the fifth ended, as the visitors dugout voiced its displeasure. The Mountaineers (9-7) had gotten a spark in the fifth from senior Marc Noyalis, who sent a 2-2 pitch over the fence in right for a two-run homer, scoring Travis DeBona (2-for-3). From there, Brian Stepniak sent a grounder to the left side of the infield, where the ball kicked off a Tunkhannock glove, allowing him to reach safely. Healey halted the Mounts’ momentum from there, getting a popup to left and a groundout to third to end the inning. And, as it turned out, the game. “I was surprised with one out after the Noyalis home run (that the game wasn’t stopped),” Kashatus said. “The next batter hit a

ball and it looked like the grounds and the rain may have had an impact on the play. I thought it would be called there, but it wasn’t. “I’m lost for words. I was lost for words (talking to the team after the game). I didn’t really have much to say.” District 2 Class 3A quarterfinal Tunkhannock 7, Dallas 3 Tunkhannock ab r h bi ab r h bi Narcum c 2 0 0 0 KCuster cf 3 2 2 0 DeBona cf 3 1 2 0 Zaner 2b 0 0 0 0 Noyalis 1b 3 1 1 2 Saylor dh 2 0 0 0 Stepniak p 3 0 0 0 Papi ss 2 2 1 1 Petorak 2b 3 0 0 0 Healey p 1 2 1 1 Muldoon lf 2 1 1 0 Cndeelis 1b 2 0 1 2 Patel ss 2 0 1 0 WCuster c 2 0 1 1 Napkora rf 0 0 0 0 McClain 3b 2 0 1 1 Ivoska dh 2 0 1 1 Goodwin lf 2 1 1 0 Saba 3b 1 0 0 0 Lee rf 2 0 1 1 Strausser ph 1 0 0 0 Totals 22 3 6 3 Totals 18 7 9 7 Dallas ............................................ 010 02 — 3 Tunkhannock ............................... 321 1x — 7 2B – KCuster, Papi, Lee; HR – Healey, Noyalis IP H R ER BB SO Dallas Stepniak (L, 0-1) ...... 4.0 9 7 7 3 2 Tunkhannock Healey (W, 1-0)........ 5.0 6 3 3 2 9 Dallas

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees got offense from the usual suspects in their 6-4 victory over the Louisville Bats last night. Jorge Vazquez and Justin Maxwell hit home runs, and five of SWB’s nine hits went for extra bases. But the key hit to extend the Yankees’ winning streak to four games was a single by Kevin Russo. The second baseman went 2for-3, including a two-run single in the sixth that widened SWB’s lead to 4-1. The hit came after Vazquez just missed a home run, settling for a double off the top of the fence in right field to start the inning. Maxwell then singled and eventually stole second, setting up Russo. “I was basically trying to put something in the air to score the run from third,” said Russo, who hit a blooper into left center. In his last 11 games, Russo is hitting 14-for-44 (.318). He’s also knocked in 10 of his 15 RBI during this stretch. “Russo is starting to hit,” manager Dave Miley said. “He got off to a slow start, but he came up with a big hit tonight.” An inning later, Vazquez did connect for a two-out, two-run home run over the centerfield fence, 405 feet away, giving the Yankees a 6-2 lead. It was Vazquez’ 18th home run of the season. “He has exceptional power. When he gets a hold of one, he can hit it out of any park,” Miley said. Louisville started the scoring in the first inning. After retiring the first two batters, D.J. Mitchell (3-3) gave up three straight singles, the last by Jeremy Hermida to score Juan Francisco. Mitchell then walked Devin Mesoraco to load the bases before getting Danny Dorn on a grounder to Russo. Mitchell cruised after that, allowing only two hits over the next four innings. SWB took the lead in fourth. With one out, Maxwell hit a solo home run, his 14th, off Justin Lehr (1-1) to left center. An out later, Russo reached on an infield single and scored on Dan Brewer’s double to right center Mitchell allowed back-toback two-out doubles to Hermida and Mesoraco in the sixth, cutting SWB’s lead to 4-2. But he struck out Dorn to end the

threat and his night. He scattered seven hits and struck out three in six innings. Mitchell continued his streak of solid pitching away from PNC Field. The righthander has only allowed five earned runs in 291/3 innings pitched on the road. At home, he’s allowed 12 earned runs in just 18-2/3 innings. Louisville drew closer, scoring two runs in the eighth off Buddy Carlyle. But Kevin Whelan allowed only a single in the ninth to close out the game and earn his 15th save. NOTES: Friday night marked only the sixth time in 24 games that the Yankees won despite being outhit. SWB pitchers yielded 13 hits to the Bats. Friday also continued an unusual trend for the Yankees – winning despite striking out often. Louisville pitchers fanned 10 SWB batters. When the Yankees strike out 10 times or more, their record is 13-8. HOW THEY SCORED: BATS FIRST: Chris Valaika grounded out. Yonder Alonso flied out. Juan Francisco singled.

Black to face big rival in hurdles final By TOM ROBINSON For The Times Leader

SHIPPENSBURG – The stage has been set. Defending state champion Shelley Black of Coughlin will set herself in the Lane 5 starting blocks at a little after 1:30 this afternoon as the PIAA Track and Field Championships near their conclusion. To Black’s left in Lane 4 for a Class 3A 300-meter hurdles final that has turned into a showdown between former champions will be Leah Nugent of Abington in District 1, the current state record-holder. Nugent set her meet record during Friday’s qualifying in a heat that finished up just before Black started on the way to winning her heat and qualifying second overall in the event. “I heard it, but I tried not to pay attention to it,” Black said of the announcement of Nugent’s record-setting effort. “She has the (41.77) and I’ve never come close to that.” Black ran 42.80 while setting a District 2 record last week and put up a 42.98 in qualifying while

going untested through her heat, which she won by 1.98 seconds. Black will be bringing a teammate with her to the 300 hurdles final. Dannah Hayward qualified sixth in 44.06. Black led qualifying while also reaching the semifinals in the 100 hurdles, the other event in which she is the defending state champion. She dominated the competition finishing more than a halfsecond ahead of the pack in13.87. “In the hurdles today, I just planned to advance,” Black said. Black and the Holy Redeemer 3,200-meter boys relay team are in the finals. There are 12 teams in the 3,200 relay final, battling for the eight Class 2A medals. Black’s effort in the 100 hurdles makes her one of nine semifinalists from the Wyoming Valley Conference. All of the semifinals will be completed this morning before the track switches over to finals only in the afternoon. Sprinters Gavin Colley of Tunkhannock and Seth Tarselli of Holy Redeemer each advanced

in two events. Colley was third among 100meter qualifiers in Class 3A and ninth in the 200 meters where he came in as the top seed. In Class 2A, Tarselli was eighth among qualifiers in the 100 and ninth in the 200. They will be among the group of athletes trying to make the cut from 16 to eight in each event. GAR freshman Quieterra Gross is also in the group. Gross qualified sixth in the Class 2A girls 100 hurdles in 15.68. Tarselli will have a teammate, David Gawlas, with him in the 100 meters. Lake-Lehman’s Nicole Snyder qualified eighth in the Class 2A 100 hurdles. Holy Redeemer’s Marnie Kusakevitch, in the Class 2A 100, and Hanover Area’s Raisha Piper, in the Class 2A 200, were the other WVC girls to advance. GAR’s Darrell Crawford reached the semifinals in the Class 2A 110 high hurdles. Blue Ridge senior Allison Hall, competing in the event for the fourth time at states, led qualify-

Carter’s brain tumor likely malignant, according to Duke doctors The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter has a brain tumor that is likely cancerous. Doctors performed biopsies on a tumor in Carter’s brain on Friday morning and Duke Medicine says in a release that preliminary results show it “appears to be malignant.” “Once the pathology report is available, which will take sever-

uation arises. And because there is no freeagent market, and little conversation about player movement during the lockout, the result has been this desperate need for something to talk about. So why not

Returning to the hardwood for the first time in Pennsylvania since her recording-setting career at Penn State, Mazzante said playing in the preseason game was her way of showing her appreciation to the area. “Coming from a small town (Montoursville) of 5,000 people, I’ve always tried to come back and show my appreciation,” Mazzante said. “I think overall it was a good situation for the people around the area to see a professional game and see me play.” The Sun’s Tina Charles finished with a game-high 17 points and Lawson added 14 points, respectively. San Antonio’s offense saw four players reach double figures, including 12-year veteran Becky Hammon, who tallied 10 points and two steals in 21 minutes of action. Jia Perkins scored a team-high 13 points. Announced as the last starter during pregame introductions, Mazzante said the warm welcome of the crowd was an added boost. “Just running out there and

giving them an opportunity for them to see me play was a really good feeling,” she said. “I feel brand new and I’m excited about the second half of my career.” While Mazzante’s family members and close friends were in attendance, other area residents came out to enjoy the unprecedented event. Eleven-year-old Megan Dillon, who was one of the ball girls during the game, said she was excited to finally see a professional basketball game live. “It’s very exciting,” said Dillon. “I’ve been playing basketball since I was in kindergarten. I would love to be out there playing with them.” Hazleton Area resident Scott Huston and his daughter Destiny, 11, drove up to the arena to see the WNBA stars. While they do not travel to the arena to see hometownWNBA teams, such as the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, Destiny admitted that as a basketball player herself, this event had more of an incentive to attend. “I thought it would be a good idea for her,” Scott Huston said when asked why he made the trip. “Hopefully they do more of this. I’d like to see them get a women’s professional team.”

al days, we will discuss treatment options with Mr. Carter and his family,” said Doctors Allan H. Friedman and Henry S. Friedman, the co-deputy directors of The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. “In the meantime, Mr. Carter is in excellent spirits and good physical condition. He is resting comfortably, surrounded by

his family. We hope that his friends and fans will continue to pray for Mr. Carter and his family during this time.” Carter, 57, announced last Saturday that an MRI had revealed four small tumors on his brain. The Duke Medicine release says the biopsies were performed on a single tumor. Carter hit .262 with 324 homers and 1,225 RBIs in 19

seasons in the majors. The 11time All-Star played his last game with the Montreal Expos in 1992 and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2003. The effervescent Carter, nicknamed “Kid,” is perhaps best known for helping the Mets win the 1986 World Series. He had 24 homers and 105 RBIs that year, then drove in 11 runs in the postseason.

Kolb? He already lost his job once through no fault of his own. Now he is losing his opportunity to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. The fates, and the labor lawyers, seem to have conspired against him. Now we are all just left to guess, and only too happy to do so, on every available information platform. There are other people who will

be affected more severely by the lockout, but they have neither names nor faces. The people who will be hit the worst are the undrafted free agents who will never be signed — and, even if they are signed, who will never have the minicamps and OTAs that those players need to make an impression. The odds against their survival are significant, without either a

pedigree or some kind of sponsorship within the organization. It takes time to convince people who didn’t think you were worth drafting that you are worth keeping in September. That is what the lockout steals from them, time. It is different with Kolb. The lockout does not steal time from him as much as it steals validation. People debate his worth, and that is fine. But this was going to be the

Prep season may be shortened By STEFANIE LOH The Harrisburg Patriot-News

HARRISBURG. — Last fall, Allentown Central Catholic clinched the PIAA Class 3A football championship after defeating Bishop McDevitt at Hersheypark Stadium on Dec.17, the Friday before Christmas. The16-week high school football schedule in Pennsylvania has drawn flak for being too long and drawn out. But battling for a state championship deep into December could soon become a thing of the past. At their spring board of directors meeting Thursday, the PIAA took what executive director Brad Cashman described as “very, very major steps” toward adopting a plan that would reduce the high school football season from 16 weeks to 15.

they beat us three times. We had plenty of opportunities, and they capitalized on their opportunities and we didn’t. “Our goalie did a good job, our defense did a good job. Giving up two goals to a good team isn’t a bad job. But you have to score goals.” Davenport, who was Berwick’s second leading scorer in the regular season, put a fake on a defender and darted point blank at the goal. Despite having an opportunity to move closer, she unleashed her shot that Coughlin keeper Amanda Sax had no chance of stopping. “Bella (Jaffin) is basically our inside finisher and I’m more of the outside shooter,” Davenport said. “I saw her going and the whole defense dropped, so I had the shot.” Coughlin’s Nour Hasan and Alexis Spagnola created some offense shortly after Davenport’s goal, but Berwick keeper Sarah Wilczynski turned them away. Wilczynski posted her third consecutive shutout in district play and fourth in a row despite a nasty collision with Coughlin’s Ivy Nulton in the time when everyone in the NFL could evaluate the tape and have a chance to make an offer. Then we would really know what people in his business thought about Kolb. Instead — and this is the best case — Kolb will end up going someplace in a kind of shotgun wedding during a hurry-up freeagency process. But there is a chance that he will go nowhere. If this were to be settled in late Au-

their next meeting in July. Proposal A involves the possible merging of some of the smaller districts into sub-regions, but allows some flexibility in district playoff scheduling because districts will have two to three weeks for district playoffs, which would begin in week 10 or 11. Proposal B is similar but more rigid in structure, and ensures that the champion of each qualifying district would get a direct berth into the state tournament. Either way, it’s really just a matter of logistics at this point. Both proposals would reduce the overlap of thefootballseasontothestartofthe PIAA’s winter sports season, and would also keep the maximum number of regular-season games at the current 10. The flipside to any reduction of the playoff schedule is that most districts will probably lose some playoff qualifiers. Still, board members didn’t seem too perturbed by this. Cashman said there seemed to be a lot of support, and that it’s “very, very good.” 10th minute. “It gave me a little power to do even better,” Wilczynski said. “It fired me up. Even though I was hurting, it pushed me to do even better.” A physical game was expected, especially after how the previous meetings this season transpired. “Oh my gosh, yeah,” Davenport said. “Every time we play them, they are our best competition. We’re friends off the field. I’m friends with a lot of them. We’re still civil, it’s just on the field you become rivals.” Considering how Berwick’s defense has performed all season, the second goal with 3:44 to play all but ended Coughlin’s hopes. Sweeper Kelly Sheptock scored it, connecting on a header from 10 yards out on Davenport’s corner kick. The second half contrasted the first where Coughlin had the better of the play. “It’s been like that all year,” Berwick coach Paul DiPippa said. “Our girls, they’re in phenomenal shape. We always seem to be able to outwork teams and take control of the game.” Coughlin .................................................... 0 0 — 0 Berwick ...................................................... 0 2 — 2 Second half: 1. BER, Caty Davenport, 54th min; 2. BER, Kelly Sheptock (Davenport), 76th. Shots: COU 8, BER 7; Saves: COU 3 (Amanda Sax), BER 8 (Sarah Wilczynski); Corners: COU 2, BER 3.

gust, and teams had about two weeks to get ready for the season, there is a chance that no one will want Kolb because there just won’t be time to reasonably assimilate him into a new system. There is no prominent player more affected by this lockout than Kolb. Rich Hofmann is a sports columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News

INDIANAPOLIS — Controversial new rules. Grumpy drivers. Back-room deals. Twitter feuds. Upstart outfits trying to make a name for themselves. Is this IndyCar or NASCAR? The lead-up to Sunday’s 100th anniversary of the Indianapolis 500 has taken a page from NASCAR’s unique mix of soap opera and speed. When team owner Michael Andretti isn’t taking heat for buying Ryan Hunter-Reay’s way into the race, his son Marco is being attacked for taking to twitter to defend the old man. Simona De Silvestro — arguably the best female driver in the series — is making fans say “Danica who?” for her cheekbiting toughness as she tries to drive with two badly burned hands. Unlikely pole-sitter Alex Tagliani is breathing muchneeded life into a sometimes staid garage with his blunt and heavily French-accented honesty. And then there’s double-file restarts, implemented this spring a year after it was introduced by its stock car brethren, the latest step in what some purists consider the “NASCAR-ification” of open-wheel racing. The move was designed to create added drama as the 33car field thunders down the front stretch to take the green flag. Whether it works on an

oval remains to be seen, though the across-the-board blowback from the normally laid-back drivers has been considerable. Tagliani calls it “a terrible idea.” Former 500 winner Dan Wheldon thinks it could lead to the race “being remembered for all the wrong reasons.” Defending race and series champion Dario Franchitti believes it’ll turn the 500 into a “lottery.” Team owner Chip Ganassi understands the concerns. His advice? Get over it. “I go back to when you watch an NFL game and then you watch a college football game, it’s the same game; they play by pretty much the same rules,” said Ganassi, a three-time 500 winner as an owner. “To a certain degree I think we need to appeal to all auto-racing fans.

look the same so they know what they’re looking at.” IndyCar CEO Randy Bernard defended the move, arguing several high-profile owners came to him with the idea, not the other way around. “I’m talking to team owners and drivers who have won out there on that track many times, and they always say ‘We race to the rules and what they told us to race to,”’ said Bernard, who recently completed his first year on the job. “The team owners wanted this, and some of the biggest racers ever, four-time Indy 500 winners, have told me that it’s a good change.” Bernard disputes the series is turning into NASCAR-lite. There are no plans to amend the points policy the way NASCAR did in the offseason. The same goes for going to a “championship Chase” format.

CONCORD, N.C. — Elliott Sadler will be on standby for Paul Menard on Sunday, just in case the 20 stitches closing a cut in his foot prevent him from completing the Coca-Cola 600. It’s the closest Sadler will be to a Sprint Cup race so far this season. After a dozen years racing in NASCAR’s elite division, Sadler had to take a step back to get his career on track. He’s now one level down, in the Nationwide Series, drivingonSaturdaysforKevinHarvick Inc. Make no mistake, Sadler is hardly slumming. He’s running up front again, contending for wins for the first time in years, and goes into today’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway leading the Nationwide standings. “The biggest adjustment he’s had to make is just to get comfortable racing in the top five every week,” Harvick said. “That’s just something he hasn’t got to do over the last several years. Winning races, you don’t necessarily forget how to do that, but you forget how many small things come with that to be able to compete on a week-toweek basis.” Sadler had his share of good days at the top level, beginning with his 2001 victory at Bristol driving for the Wood Brothers.

Sponsorship issues eventually made the situation at Yates shaky, and Sadler bolted in the middle of the 2006 season for Evernham Motorsports. That’s where things went bad. Evernham sold majority interest in the team to George Gillett, and a merger eventually morphed Gillett-Evernham Motorsports into Richard Petty Racing. All those business deals made Sadler the odd man out, and he once had to threaten to sue to stay in the car when the team tried to dump him.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State has cited privacy laws in declining to provide communications to and from coach Jim Tressel and other administrators regarding the relationship between star quarterback Terrelle Pryor and his hometown mentor. The Associated Press sought through a public records request any emails, notes or other information about the relationship between Jeannette, Pa., businessman Ted Sarniak and Pryor, who has been suspended for the first five games this fall for taking improper benefits from a Columbus tattoo-parlor owner. In an email on Friday, Ohio State’s Office of Legal Affairs declined to release the records because it said doing so would mean giving up information without the student’s consent. “The university is prohibited from releasing information that can be reasonably linked to an individual,” the office said in the statement. Privacy law protects certain records of students at schools receiving federal money. It usually covers personal information such as race, religion, grades, courses taken, attendance, disciplinary and health records. Ohio State did release other public records requested by the AP. Among them were the evaluations of athletic director Gene Smith and the school’s director of NCAA compliance, Doug Archie. The AP asked for Tressel’s evaluations the past two years but Ohio State spokesman Jim Lynch said those are done face-to-face between Tressel and Smith and there are no written records. Tressel is being investigated by the NCAA and Ohio State for knowing that his players had broken NCAA rules by accepting improper benefits. The 10-year coach of the Buckeyes learned in April 2010 that some players had sold memorabilia to the tattooparlor owner. He did not tell his superiors what he knew, instead forwarding an email with that information to Sarniak. Even though compelled to tell his superiors, the NCAA or his school’s compliance department about any knowledge of violations, Tressel did not surrender that information until confronted by investigators in January of 2011.

Mavs’ focus: Playing well, not redemption

The Associated Press

IRVING, Texas — While Ryan Palmer is doing everything his caddie tells him, Sergio Garcia is playing just fine without a practice round at the Byron Nelson Championship. Palmer and Garcia shared the second-round lead at 8-under 132 after a sun-soaked round Friday when the wind was gusting up to 36 mph. Garcia posted his second consecutive 4-under 66, after withdrawing from a British Open qualifier five holes in and passing up a practice round at TPC Four Seasons because of an infected fingernail on his left hand. After a bogey at the 523-yard par-4 third hole when his approach flew over the green, Garcia birdied three of the next four holes and was bogey-free the rest of his round. Despite the windy conditions, he hit 11 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens. “You would be happy with those stats on a day with not much wind,” Garcia said. There also were some impressive shots along the way for Garcia. The 31-year-old Spaniard blasted out of a greenside bunker to 7 feet to save par at No. 14, then had a 45-foot chip-in birdie at the 15th hole when he couldn’t putt because of three sprinkler heads in the way. Walking into the stiff wind the rest of the way, he had pars on the last three holes. Palmer shot a 67. He had made the cut only once his seven previous appearances at the Nelson with nine consecutive rounds over par before this week when caddie James Edmondson is calling his shots. “He’s never played good here and we finally decided that I was going to take over and just lead the horse around the ranch,” Edmondson said. With input from instructor Randy Smith, Edmondson is telling Palmer where to hit off the tee and what to do with his approach shots. The arrangement is working so far. Palmer opened with a 65 Thursday before what was maybe a more impressive round with only one bogey in difficult conditions. “I keep surprising myself how calm I am when it’s that way. ... This is a golf course that I’ve struggled on so it’s nice to not to think about it, just get up and hit the shot, and if I don’t hit the shots it’s on me,” Palmer said. “So it’s nice to be free-swinging like that.” Tim Petrovic (66) and Scott Piercy (69) were three strokes back at 5 under. Nick Watney (68), Joe Ogilvie (70) and Chad Collins (69) followed at 4 under. For the second year in a row, area amateur teenager Jordan Spieth made the cut at the Nelson. After his 2-under 68 Friday, he was in a group of six players at 3 under. Spieth’s high school graduation ceremony is Saturday afternoon. The ceremony for Dallas’ Jesuit Prep’s graduating class of 246 seniors starts at 4 p.m. Saturday, at an auditorium on the SMU campus about 20 miles from TPC Four Seasons. “Right after the round ... I’m going to shoot over there as quickly as possible,” Spieth said. “I don’t know how long (graduation) usually lasts.” First-round leader Jeff Overton followed his opening 64 with a 74 that including consecutive bogeys to end his round. Seventy-four players made the cut at 3 over. Right on that mark was defending champion Jason Day (71). Palmer had his only bogey at the 503-yard, par-415th hole when he missed the green with his approach and then two-putted from 17 feet.

Boston’s Nathan Horton celebrates his goal against the Tampa Bay Lightning in the third period of Game 7 of an NHL Stanley Cup playoffs Eastern Conference.final.

Horton’s goal sends Boston to Cup finals The Associated Press

BOSTON — Nathan Horton scored with 7:33 left in Game 7, sending the Boston Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time in more than two decades with a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night. The right wing on Boston’s top line cleanly beat goalie Dwayne Roloson by deflecting a pass across the slot from David Krejci. That set off a loud celebration among Bruins fans, who have waited a long time for a trip to the finals. Tim Thomas made 24 saves in his third career playoff shutout and second this season. Boston will open the Stanley Cup finals in Vancouver against the Western Conference champion Canucks on Wednesday. The Bruins won their most recent championship in 1972 and hadn’t reached the finals since 1990, when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers. Both goalies were outstand-

ing behind teammates playing energetic, impressive defense in a hard-hitting game without a single penalty. With 3 seconds left and the puck in the Lightning zone, Bruins center Patrice Bergeron raised his stick while standing in the “B” symbolizing the Bruins at center ice. And when the game ended, Thomas raised both arms and arched his back against the net that the Lightning never reached in the decisive game. “I think a lot of people thought I was over the hill,”’ said the 37year-old Thomas, a Vezina Trophy finalist who was sidelined throughout last year’s playoffs. “I knew it wasn’t true. I put in a lot of work over the summer and I’ve had an unbelievable year. I’ve been blessed.” The Bruins improved to 2-3 in Game 7s under coach Claude Julien but have won the last two. The previous victory came in the opening round this season, 4-3 in overtime over the Montreal Canadiens. Horton also scored the

winning goal in that one. Boston is 11-10 in Game 7s. Andrew Ference started the only scoring play Friday night on the left side behind the red line with a pass to Krejci, also on the left. Horton was on the same side, but when Krejci got the puck, Horton veered to the right. Krejci skated in and threaded a pass to Horton, who put the puck in the open side between Roloson and the left post. Roloson fell to 7-1 in elimination games during his career, including 4-1 this postseason. Tampa Bay rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Pittsburgh in the first round, with Roloson shutting out the Penguins 1-0 in Game 7 on the road.

Dogfighting site in Vick case sold Compound run by QB sold to animal group, which plans to turn it into dog rehab center. By BROCK VERGAKIS Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va. — An animal rights group bought NFL star Michael Vick’s former dogfighting compound on Friday and plans to turn it into a rehabilitation center for chained and penned dogs. Vick pleaded guilty to federal felony charges and served 18 months in prison for running Bad Newz Kennels from the property, which led him to financial ruin. He eventually sold the Surry County property to a developer who had difficulty unloading it following Vick’s conviction. Dogs Deserve Better of Tipton, Pa., bought the five-bed-

room home for about $600,000. “I think by us overtaking this property we are winning for the dogs. We are, in essence, giving this property back to the dogs that were abused there by using it to help other dogs just like them,” said Tamira Thayne, the group’s founder. The organization paid for the house with a 30 percent down payment secured through donations and a loan. An anonymous donor has agreed to make payments for the next ten years, but Thayne said fundraising will continue. Ultimately, the group wants to raise $3 million to fully pay for the site, install fencing and build a facility for the dogs. The house will serve as the group’s new headquarters and Thayne said she or another staff member will live there to monitor the dogs. The home has four and a half

bathrooms, two fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, walk-in closets and an attached, two-car garage. Thayne said she has not had any contact with Vick but has been told a filmmaker wants to take Vick back to the property where the dogfighting has occurred. Thayne said she isn’t sure what she would say to him if he visited. “I would like to see that he’s really remorseful and I personally don’t feel that I’ve seen that because actions speak louder than words,” she said. “I haven’t seen him really put effort into making amends.” The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in August 2009, less than a month after his release, prompting an outcry from animal rights groups and animal-loving football fans.

DALLAS — Back in the NBA finals, back to trying to beat the Miami Heat. Pretty wild how things have worked out for the Dallas Mavericks, isn’t it? “It doesn’t matter that much to me,” Dirk Nowitzki said Friday. “No thought whatsoever,” echoed Jason Terry. Oh, well. So much for the story line of the 2011 Mavs seeking redemption for 2006. If the only two holdovers don’t care, nobody else should. The message Nowitzki and Terry are sending is this club is focused on beating whatever team the NBA playoff bracket throws their way. They’ve already gone through LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trail Blazers, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and the Lakers and Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and the Thunder. So, for their final act, they might as well get the team everyone’s been talking about since last summer — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and a Miami franchise that coincidentally was the club that got in Dallas’ way five years ago. Nowitzki emphasized another point: This isn’t about the Heat and what they do. It’s about the Mavs continuing to do the things that have helped them win 10 of

their last 11 playoff games, including five straight on the road. “We’ve got to do the things that got us here — aggressive defense, rebounding and ball movement on the offensive end,” he said. The Mavs locked up their second trip to the finals on Wednesday. The next night, the Heat clinched their second trip to the finals, setting up the ’06 rematch starting Tuesday in Miami. Terry is an emotional player who fires himself up by sleeping in the other team’s uniform shorts the night before every game. So, at the very least, when he saw the Heat win the East, he probably let out a, “Here we go again,” with either a smile or a frown to indicate how he felt. But he also explained why it’s easy to be dispassionate about this. “Only two people on this team are still playing, Dirk and I. For them, it’s Wade and (Udonis) Haslem. It’s a different situation.”

Bulls determined to return with vengeance next year

The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Derrick Rose vowed to learn from this, to get better, and insisted the Chicago Bulls would come back hungrier after the Miami Heat knocked them out in the Eastern Conference finals. Clearly, the standards are soaring now. As good as they were this season, the Bulls came up short. They blew a late 12-point lead and bowed out with a 83-80 loss to the Heat in Game 5 on Thursday. The Bulls were aiming for more after back-to-back 41-win seasons and first-round playoff exits, and did they ever get it. They boasted the league’s MVP in Rose, the Coach of the Year in Tom Thibodeau and a league-leading 62 victories while advancing to the conference finals for the first time in 13 years. Not since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were here had the Bulls generated such a buzz and sent expectations rocketing like this. How they did it is well-documented. Where they go from here is the question. For Rose, it was a disappointing finish to an otherwise outstanding season in which he became the league’s youngest MVP and joined Jordan as the only Bulls player to win the award. If anyone could sympathize with him, Miami’s LeBron James would be the guy. “I’ve been in situations where I say why me at this point?” said James, searching for his first title. “But you have to keep working and be put in those positions time after time where if you fail, you have to

be ready to take that challenge again and again. When you’re a leader, D-Rose — he earned the MVP. He’s a great talent. Chicago got not only a great basketball player, but a great kid. What he’s done for this city and what he’s done for this franchise in just three years is remarkable. “… he’s going to get better and better,” he continued. “Hopefully we don’t have to continue to see him in the postseason.” Dwyane Wade chimed in: “We will.” And James said: “Yeah, we will.” To many, Chicago-Miami has the makings of a long rivalry. The question is whether the Bulls will be like the 1990s Jazz and Knicks, good teams that couldn’t quite win it all. Or will the Heat be more like those Pistons teams of yesteryear?

Reigning USA time trial king Phinney defends title today in U.S. pro championships. The Associated Press

GREENVILLE, S.C. — Fomer cycling star Davis Phinney remembers a time, not too long ago, when he was certain his son Taylor would never ride a bike competitively. That changed, the older Phinney said, when father and son caught the Tour de France in 2005. “It kind of opened his eyes,” Davis Phinney said. These days, the younger Phinney is the 20-year-old rising star of U.S. cycling, a tall, strong rider equally adept on the track and the roads. He is the reigning USA Cycling time trial champ, a title he’ll defend today at the national pro championships. Phinney is also entered in Monday’s 115-mile road race as he continues a trek toward the 2012 London Olympics. Some might have even larger aspirations for Phinney: bringing a fresh, clean face to a sport that has an image severely tarnished. “I don’t feel a lot of pressure. There’s only so much I can do,” he said. “All I can do is go out and do the best I can and get the results I need to get. Focus on staying positive and keeping a good outlook on the sport.” That’s been difficult the past week or so, ever since Lance Armstrong’s ex-teammate Tyler Hamilton told “60 Minutes” he witnessed the seven-time Tour de France winner take performance-enhancing drugs before or during the 1999, 2000 and 2001 tours while part of the U.S. Postal team. Armstrong has denied Hamilton’s claims and always maintained his innocence. The CBS program also reported that Armstrong’s close friend, George Hincapie, told

federal investigators he and Armstrong supplied each other with performance-enhancing drugs. Hincapie said last week he did not know where “60 Minutes” got its information. On Friday, he didn’t want to discuss the allegations. “It has been on my mind, but I like to focus on the good things in my life,” Hincapie said, “and there are a lot of those.” Hincapie believes good days are ahead for American cycling with Phinney and several other young riders competing this weekend. Right now, Phinney’s at the forefront of that peleton. Phinney won world individual pursuit titles in 2009 and 2010 to go along with several national championships, all at an age when most people haven’t selected a college major yet. It’s a drive Davis Phinney said his son’s always had. In the Phinney family, who could blame him? Davis won two stages of the Tour de France among his 300 victories, which includes the 1991 national road race. His new book, “The Happiness of Pursuit,” is due out June 1. Taylor’s mother is Olympic cycling gold medalist Connie Carpenter-Phinney, also a speed skater who at 14 became the youngest American woman to compete in the Winter Olympics in 1972. “One thing that’s clearly unique about Taylor is that he puts more pressure on himself,” Davis Phinney said. “He doesn’t take on external pressure.” Taylor is also not one to abandon friends during hard times. Armstrong was an idol of Phinney’s growing up and a mentor of his racing career. “He’s always been very generous to me,” Taylor said. As far as the allegations against Armstrong? “I have no idea what went on in the past. Still hoping for the best,” Phinney said.

PARIS — If Caroline Wozniacki truly was torn up inside about her latest loss at a Grand Slam tournament, she certainly hid it well. Wozniacki smiled and shrugged while deflecting questions about being No. 1 in the rankings despite never having won a major title. Her wait for a breakthrough was extended Friday, when she was beaten 6-1, 6-3 by 28th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia in the third round of the French Open. After the match, Wozniacki was consoled by her father. She said he told her: “The world still goes on, and we still have the next tournament next week. There is nothing you can do about it now, so just don’t beat yourself up too much.” Wozniacki’s early exit came a day after No. 2 Kim Clijsters was eliminated by 114th-ranked Arantxa Rus, marking the first time that the top two seeded women failed to make the round of 16 at any Grand Slam tournament in the Open era, which began in 1968. It never had happened at the French Open since it began admitting foreign entrants in 1925. Add that to the absences of the Williams sisters, who are sidelined by health issues, and there is a real lack of star power in Paris now. “Kim had a tough loss yesterday; I had a tough loss today. That’s what happens,” said Wozniacki, a Dane who reached No. 1 in October and has been there every week but one since then. “Since we’re No. 1 and 2, it means that we must be doing something right. It’s just unfortunate to lose in a Grand Slam, but that’s what

happens, and we just need to move forward.” Hantuchova explained the surprises this way: “It just shows how strong women’s tennis is at the moment. It’s very open.” As if to prove that point, another French Open title contender, 2010 runner-up and 2009 semifinalist Sam Stosur of Australia, was beaten 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 by 51stranked Gisela Dulko of Argentina. But defending champion Francesca Schiavone of Italy advanced when her opponent, No. 29 Peng Shuai of China, stopped playing because she has a cold and couldn’t breathe properly. The most anticipated matchup of the day did not begin until early evening — and did not finish Friday. Two-time Australian Open champion Novak Djokovic, who is on a 41-match winning streak, was tied at a set apiece with 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro when play was suspended at 9:15 p.m. be-

cause of darkness. The second-seeded Djokovic won the first set 6-3, but No. 25 del Potro took the second by the same score. Right after del Potro held serve to even the match, the chair umpire announced play would stop for the day; there are no artificial lights on the courts at Roland Garros. Earlier, 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer saved the only break point he faced in a 6-1, 6-4, 6-3 victory over No. 29 Janko Tipsarevic of Serbia. “I’m at peace with my game right now. I’m physically fine. I think I had a good preparation, so there’s no reason to get nervous,” said Federer, who hasn’t dropped a set heading into his next match, against his 2008 Beijing Olympics doubles partner Stan Wawrinka. “I’m still in the tournament. It’s always nice to advance in the draw so well, so quickly.” Schiavone will play No. 10 Jelena Jankovic of Serbia, who beat

Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States 6-2, 6-2. Hantuchova, meanwhile, meets No. 13 Svetlana Kuznetsova, who won the 2004 U.S. Open and 2009 French Open. After defeating Rebecca Marino of Canada 6-0, 6-4, Kuznetsova was asked by a reporter to look ahead to facing Wozniacki, whose match against Hantuchova was barely under way at the time. The assumption was that Hantuchova wouldn’t present too much of a challenge, in part because she entered the day 0-3 against Wozniacki and 0-6 against women ranked No. 1. But the 5-foot-11 Hantuchova, a semifinalist at the 2008 Australian Open and former top-five player herself, says she is a more mature player and person at 28 than she was at 20, when she famously fought tears while losing a second-round match at Wimbledon in 2003.

Ethics hearing, then election await FIFA Scandal’s pace picks up with exec’s hearing; vote to keep him in Wednesday.

By GRAHAM DUNBAR AP Sports Writer

GENEVA — The bribery scandal that has already tarnished FIFA’s reputation and thrown next week’s presidential election into disarray has become even more tangled, with the most powerful man in soccer — Sepp Blatter — now accused of corruption. The longtime FIFA president was ordered Friday to appear before the soccer federation’s ethics committee on Sunday, three days before he is to stand for re-election, after being accused of ignoring alleged bribes to Caribbean voters. Blatter’s only rival for president, Mohamed bin Hammam, and longtime FIFA power broker Jack Warner were accused earlier this week of trying to buy the Caribbean votes. “I cannot comment on the proceedings that have been opened against me,” Blatter said in a statement released by his advisers. “The facts will speak for themselves.” The ethics committee gave Blatter until today to submit a response. Bin Hammam has already denied the vote-buying accusations, and contends there is “increasing evidence of a conspiracy” against him. Namibian judge Petrus Damaseb, who will chair the ethics hearing, is to announce the panel’s initial findings Sunday night at FIFA headquarters. If the committee finds wrongdoing, one or both candidates could be kicked off the ballot. They also could be provisionally suspended — effectively

preventing them from running — if the panel decides it needs more time to study the Blatter evidence. BinHammamsaidheisconfidenttheethicspanelwill“see through this tawdry maneuver” to remove him from the race. But British Sports Minister Hugh Robertson said the election had “descended into a farce” and should be postponed. European soccer president Michel Platini, widely expected to run for FIFA president in 2015, said Friday he expects the election to go on as scheduled next week. “To not have elections you need three-quarters of the assembly who will say, ’No elections,”’ said the former French star, who has never been linked to scandal in his nine years as a member of FIFA’s executive committee. Suspicions of corruption have overshadowed FIFA for years. There’s already an investigation into vote-trading allegations surrounding the 2018 and 2022 World Cup votes, and eight members of the 24man executive committee are currently under investigation for alleged corruption. But these latest allegations have the potential to cause havoc at the highest levels of the world’s most popular sport, the timing and source giving them a gravity that previous scandals lacked. The accusations were leveled by Chuck Blazer, one of FIFA’s own and the No. 2 man to Warner in CONCACAF, which representsNorthandCentralAmerica and the Caribbean.

The Week Ahead

Manufacturing powering down U.S. manufacturing has slowed its rate of growth during the spring. That’s in part because of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan that disrupted the flow of products and parts to this country. Higher prices may also be a factor. When the Institute for Supply Management releases its manufacturing index for May on Wednesday, we’ll have a chance to see if growth slowed further. If it did, look for stocks to pull back – manufacturing has driven the recovery from the recession.

It’s hard to tell what shoppers are thinking. Consumer confidence is rising, and the government says Americans earned and spent slightly more during April. But much of their extra spending was due to higher prices for food and gas. When retailers report May sales on Thursday, we’ll get a look at how much consumers are spending, and what they’re buying. Retailers have been hurt by sluggish sales. They’re also paying wholesalers more because of rising prices for raw materials.

Snö Cove and Camelbeach will open for the season Two area waterparks open for the season today. Snö Cove on Montage Mountain in Scranton opens at 11 this morning and closes at 7 tonight. It will remain open Sunday and Monday and then each weekend through June 12. Then from June 13 through 17, it will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Beginning on June 18, and through Aug. 28, it will remain open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. All attractions, except the Zip Rider and Bumper Boats, will open today. The other two will start June 18. Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark in Tannersville opens for its 14th season at 11 a.m. today. To pay tribute to Memorial Day, the park is offering free, preferred parking for all veterans today. A valid military ID will need to be shown. As part of the tribute, all operations will be suspended in the park at noon for posting of colors by the Tobyhanna Army Depot Color Guard and the playing of The Star Spangled Banner. That will be followed by a 45-second moment of silence and taps played by a local Eagle Scout. Camelbeach will be open from 11a.m. to 6 p.m. today, Sunday and Monday, June 4, 5, 11, and 12. Friday, June 17 marks the beginning of the waterpark’s daily operations, which runs through Sept. 5. Camelbeach is working on a $3 million expansion this summer with two new slides that are scheduled to open for the July 4th weekend. The park’s 35 slides and attractions make Camelbeach the largest waterpark in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Bluefin tuna stays off list Federal officials have decided to keep bluefin tuna off the endangered species list. Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is turning down a petition from the Center For Biological Diversity seeking an endangered status for the giant, highly migratory fish. NOAA officials were holding a news conference late Friday morning to discuss the decision. The Arizona-based based Center for Biological Diversity claimed bluefin tuna is facing possible extinction because of overfishing. But fishermen say the western Atlantic population is being fished at sustainable levels.

G-8 will fund democracies Officials say that rich countries and international lenders are aiming to provide $40 billion in funding for Arab countries trying to establish free democracies.

A French official says $40 billion is the overall goal, but that breakdowns by country and timetables are still under discussion. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to his office policy.

Damage won’t hurt economy By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER and JEANNINE AVERSA AP Economics Writers

ASHINGTON — The tornadoes and floods that have devastated parts of the South and Midwest have also hammered the local economies — flooding farmlands, suspending factory work and disrupting energy production. Yet for the U.S. economy overall, the damage will likely be scant. At most, the disasters might knock one-tenth of1percentage point off national economic growth in the April-June quarter, Wells Fargo economist Mark Vitner estimates. “It’s so small, you aren’t going to notice it,” said Patrick Newport, an economist at IHS Global Insight. Others caution, though, that the tornado season hasn’t ended yet, and the hurricane season has yet to arrive. Further major disasters could begin to weigh on the U.S. economy. Early forecasts estimate that the economy will have grown at a 2.5 percent to 3 percent annual rate in the current AprilJune quarter. That’s a relatively weak pace that wouldn’t spur robust job growth. Still, it’s above the 1.8 percent growth the government reported Thursday for the January-March period. The

Several homes sit destroyed by a tornado strike near Seneca, Mo. At most, the disasters might knock one-tenth of 1 percentage point off national economic growth in the April-June quarter.

natural disasters haven’t led economists to reduce their estimates for April-June quarter. “This is a very extreme year,” said Tom Larsen, a senior vice president at Eqecat, a firm that estimates the impact of catastrophes for insurance companies and government agencies. “If it were to stop right now, it would be a once every 25 years’ or every 50 years’ occurrence.” But Larsen doesn’t expect it to stop. “There will be more tornadoes and more property damage,” he said. Typically, damage caused by tornadoes is more concentrated than damage from powerful hurricanes, such as Katri-

na, economists say. The tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo., on Sunday probably won’t slow the overall state’s economy very much, said Ben Kanigel, an associate economist at Moody’s Analytics. That’s because Joplin accounts for only about 2 percent of Missouri’s economic output. Larsen estimates that the Joplin twister, the deadliest in the United States in more than six decades, and the tornadoes in late April that damaged parts of Alabama and six other Southern states could cause more than $8 billion in losses. His firm hasn’t yet made a similar estimate for the Mississippi flood.

LONDON — French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde said Friday that nationality shouldn’t be a decisive factor in appointing the new chief of the International Monetary Fund, but argued that a sound underLagarde standing of Europe was needed. Lagarde, who has put herself forward as a candidate for the post, told BBC radio that the “country of origin should not be a criteria,” in deciding on a successor to Dominique StraussKahn. Though she has strong backing in Europe, which has traditionally named the IMF chief, developing nations argue someone from another region should be given the job this time. The so-called BRICS — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — issued a joint statement earlier this week expressing support for “abandoning the obsolete unwritten practice of convention that requires that the head of the IMF be necessarily from Europe.” India, Russia, and China have yet to decide who to support for the post, while South Africa has insisted the next IMF leader should be from an emerging economy. “I honestly think that the nationality, the origin, is something that doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. What matters is the skills, the expertise, the experience, the willingness, the enthusiasm, the leadership, the background. All of that counts,” Lagarde told the BBC. But Lagarde also suggested it would be an advantage for the next chief to have an understanding of Europe’s debtwracked economies and “the political circumstances and background” of European leaders. The IMF is closely involved in a half dozen emergency lending programs across Europe.

Fiat will buy stake in Chrysler

Google in legal battle with PayPal

The price will be negotiated within 10 business days, or by around June 10.

By MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP Technology Writer

By TOM KRISHER AP Auto Writer

DETROIT — Italian automaker Fiat SpA said Friday that it will buy the Treasury’s remaining stake in Chrysler Group LLC, freeing the automaker of U.S. government ownership. The Turin, Italy-based company notified the U.S. Treasury that it will exercise an option to buy the government’s 6 percent stake. The price will be negotiated within 10 business days, or by around June 10. When the sale would happen remains unclear. But Fiat is moving quickly to take a controlling stake in Chrysler, which

it has run since the company left bankruptcy protection in June of 2009. Chrysler has made a remarkable turnaround. Before bankruptcy, the automaker was nearly out of cash and needed $10.5 billion in U.S. government money to survive. The company made a first-quarter net profit of $116 million and is forecasting 2011 earnings of $200 million to $500 million. Under the leadership of Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, the company has cut costs and revived its sales by refurbishing most of its lineup of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram vehicles. Buying out the government would give Fiat 52 percent ownership of Chrysler. That’s likely to rise to 57 percent before the end of the year when Chrysler begins producing a 40 mpg small car in the U.S.

SAN FRANCISCO — Google Inc.’s ambitious plan to supplant credit cards with smartphones has thrust the Internet search leader into a legal tussle with online payment pioneer PayPal, which contends Google stole its ideas by hiring away two key executives. PayPal painted a picture of betrayal and corporate espionage in a lawsuit filed late Thursday in a California state court, just hours after the unveiling of the “Google Wallet” payment service in New York. The 28-page complaint alleges the service evolved from research that eBay Inc.’s PayPal had been working on for the past decade. PayPal fingers two central culprits in the intellectual

Google says it will fight allegations that it stole PayPal’s trade secrets to develop a service that allows people to use their smartphones like credit cards.

heist — one of its former executives, Osama Bedier, and former eBay executive Stephanie Tilenius. In its response Friday, Google contends it merely identified talented candidates to run its mobile payments service and then made them of-

fers that proved too tempting to refuse. “Silicon Valley was built on the ability of individuals to use their knowledge and expertise to seek better employment opportunities, a principle recognized by both California law and public policy,” Google spokesman Aaron Zamost said. "We respect trade secrets, and will defend ourselves against these claims.” The civil complaint alleges Google spent more than two years discussing a partnership that would have relied on PayPal to process payments for an application market set up for Google’s mobile phone software, Android. Google cut off the Android talks earlier this year after it had poached enough PayPal employees to set up its own mobile payments service, according to the suit.

Since March 1, I've measured 21.2 inches of rain here in Luzerne county. That's close to 14 inches more than what fell last spring and ranks in the top three wettest springs in over 100 years. The preliminary U.S tornado count since April 1 is now up to 1,148. There have been so many deep troughs of low pressure in the westerly wind belt crossing the county this spring spawning severe weather and tons of rain. Many meteorologists point the finger at an episode of colder than normal water in the Paciﬁc, a La Nina. But that is now weakening, and so I remain optimistic that our weather will improve for a nice summer ahead. - Tom Clark

Home buyers scoff at big fixes

In this day and age, an ‘as is’ property is becoming an ‘as if.’ By KATHLEEN LYNN The Record (Hackensack N.J.)

Why not get by with a little help from the sun?

By KIM COOK

For The Associated Press

ew things are prettier in a night garden than soft pools of light illuminating interesting trees, accent rocks and plants or pathways. • Whether on a small terrace or in a sweeping landscape, lighting creates a welcoming and often dramatic atmosphere. • But in some cases, buried-wire electric lighting can be costly and impracticable. The answer might be solar lighting. • The technology of solar lighting has been refined in recent years to include new batteries that take and hold a charge better — typically 1,000 nights per unit. LED bulbs, too, have become more efficient: They can stay outside in any weather and are available in various watts and colors.

An outdoor space designed by HGTV’s Jamie Durie, host of ’The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie,’ uses solar lighting.

Jamie Durie, author and host of HGTV’s The Outdoor Room, suggests three ways to use solar lighting: “First, light your perimeter. It gives some perspective, and is a creative way to show the boundaries of your property,” Durie says. “Next, mark out your walks and pathways. Lastly, feature trees and other features with up-lighting, or even by attaching solar lights to walls and fences.”

Durie’s not a fan of “clinical” white LEDs, preferring those with amber light. Make sure when buying solar lights that they’re all the same tone. And for areas where you want greater intensity, look for lights with more than two and preferably four LEDs in them. In his projects, Durie often combines low-voltage electrical lights with solar. See SOLAR, Page 2C

Plow and Hearth and other online and catalog retailers offer lightbulb solar lights.

HGTV’s Jamie Durie also incorporated solar lighting into this outdoor space.

HACKENSACK, N.J. — In the overheated housing market of five years ago, buyers often felt they had to accept homes in woeful condition. But these days, most look at “as-is” properties and say, “No thanks.” “I try to stay away from things that need a lot of work,” said Michael Lisa of Chestnut Ridge, N.Y., who is searching for a home in northern Bergen County, N.J. “Buyers will tolerate nothing,” said Maria Rini, a Re/Max agent in Oradell, N.J. A recent Coldwell banker survey found that 87 percent of firsttime buyers said a move-in-ready home is important to them. “This is absolutely the story of this market. It seems buyers will pay a premium, engage in a bidding war and even overpay just to avoid buying a ‘project’ house,” said Beth Freed of Terrie O’Connor Realtors in Ridgewood, N.J. As a result, real-estate agents strongly advise sellers to fix up their homesforquickerandmoreprofitable sales. For example, when Kate Conover recently listed a Franklin Lakes, N.J., colonial, she encouraged the seller to replace the roof and driveway, repair ceilings, rip up carpets and paint interiors. Paying contractors to do the work cost almost $40,000, but Conover estimated it added well over $100,000 to the asking price. “There is no question homes that have been spruced up for the market sell quicker,” said Conover, a Re/Max agent in Saddle River, N.J. But she recommended against major renovations — such as replacing the kitchen and baths — in the Most agents Franklin Lakes agree with that home. Most philosophy, agents agree with that philos- saying sellers ophy, saying sell- shouldn’t risk ers shouldn’t risk spending more spending more than they’ll get than they’ll get back in the sale back in the sale price.

On the other hand, agents say that major maintenance and safety issues — such as underground oil tanks and leaky roofs — must be dealt with before the home goes on the market, because buyers are unwilling to take them on. Beyond those kinds of headaches, sellers can make a big difference with simple and relatively inexpensive fixes: painting the walls, getting rid of clutter and pulling up carpets to show the hardwood floors that buyers crave. Andspruceupthefrontyardandentryway to make a good first impression, recommended Pat Sudal, a Weichert agent in Ramsey “Freshen the flowerpots, trim the bushes and mulch,” she said. In the same vein, Gangi recommends painting the front door if it’s looking tired. “Curb appeal is very important, and the front door is the first thing you see,” Gangi said. Getting rid of clutter (as part of an overall deep cleaning) is probably the most cost-effective step, agents say. When sellers resist this advice, Rini reminds them they’ll have to pack up their stuff when they move anyway. “You’ve got to clean it out sometime; if you do it now, it’s going to benefit you financially,” she said.

calls this “pre-packing.” “You want to depersonalize the home so that prospective buyers can see their lifestyle happening there,” said Ferraro. Buyers may not even consciously notice that a room is cluttered or crowded with awkwardly arranged furniture, she said, “but they experience it nonetheless.” “Get everything off the floor,” advised Cynthia Harkins, an agent with Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty in Franklin Lakes. Harkins, who self-published a book called “The Savvy Seller,” says sellers can make rooms (and closets) seem more spacious by clearing the floor of boots, magazines, gym bags and backpacks. Anne Landesman, who is moving to Austin, Texas, packed up books and artwork before putting her family’s Park Ridge, N.J., home on the market recently. She and her husband, Roy, also put a lot of furniture, including three sofas, into storage. “I think it made a huge difference,” Landesman said. “People could get a good idea of the size of the rooms.” Dawn Cox, a Weichert agent in Wayne, N.J., often counsels sellers to go beyond decluttering, by replacing outdated kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures and installing granite countertops. Alan and Mary Chris Bassman did a bathroom upgrade rather

This, in turn, can offer an opportunity for buyers who are willing to give up the search for HGTV-ready homes and look at properties that need “some love,” in the words of Tom Mikalouskas, a Re/Max agent in Montvale, N.J. “I tell my buyers to look for the best bones or the best bang for your buck,” he said. “Basically, if you are able to get the worst home in a great neighborhood, you can only improve on your investment. You simply have to focus on potential in a down market like this.” “Buyers who can look beyond the cosmetic issues usually can find treasures in this market,” Falco agreed.

Checking out cracks and leaks in a new home Q: My husband and I bought new construction last year. We had a 30-day inspection by the builder and are approaching a 330-day inspection. During this last year, we have had numerous settlement cracks and two roof leaks. I would like to know if there is a company that would do an inspection for us before the construction company comes in to do its inspection, because I have little confidence in our builder’s workmanship. I would be willing to pay for this. A: It is your house, so you can hire anyone you want to check out these problems. By hiring, I mean pay someone to investigate. If there are structural issues, I’d contact a reputable engineering firm. You don’t offer much information about these cracks. Are they foundation cracks? How big are they? Do they appear to be getting larger? What does the builder say about them? The roof leaks? Well, I’d hire a reputable roofer to determine if there are bigger problems behind the leaks: If they occurred in the winter and were the result of snow and ice freezing and thawing on the roof, those things happen and can be corrected. If the roof was badly done to begin with, however, these leaks might be the start of something bigger. But before hiring anyone, communicate your unhappiness to the builder. In the years I’ve been writing about real estate, I’ve discovered that the root of these problems was in the inability of the parties to

YOUR PLACE ALAN J. HEAVENS communicate. In many cases, when I would call the builder about the complaints, I’d discover that the homeowners had never talked with anyone other than me, hoping that I would intercede for them. Many people buy new construction believing that what they are getting is perfect. It doesn’t work that way. New homes are subject to the same man-made and weather issues that affect older homes. Ask the builder for a meeting. Insist on one, actually, but be polite as well as firm. Bring a list of the problems, with photos. Ask for explanations, and determine whether these issues can or will be corrected by the builder. If you are unhappy with the answers, then hire the structural engineer and the roofer to explore these issues. If they agree with your assessment, return to the builder with the evidence. If the builder still won’t do anything about these problems, even in the face of evidence that your concerns are valid, look at the contract you signed for the house and see if there is some sort of third-party mediation guarantee. If there isn’t such a provision, the next step should be to contact a lawyer. And expect to pay. ••• Q: The section of hardwood floor that

connects my mother’s living room and dining room slopes downward. The slant, which has been there for many years, is not pronounced, and the floors are not a hazard. But she now wants the problem corrected, if possible. I don’t know what kind of contractor she should call for the repair: a structural engineer, a flooring expert or general contractor? Do you have an idea what a project like this might entail and cost? Her house is small and more than 60 years old. A: It is difficult for me to answer this without seeing how much of a slope is involved. I suppose that she should start with a flooring contractor to determine if it is just one small section that needs to be shimmed or reinforced to level the floor out. If the contractor determines that there is something more serious at work here, that’s where a structural engineer would get involved. I couldn’t begin to estimate costs. All I can say is that the more-than-100-year-old house of a former colleague had a serious sloping problem, and this individual spent thousands to straighten it out. In that case, I believe the sloping was caused by poor drainage that, over years, undermined a portion of the foundation, causing it to sag. Your mother’s problem may not be as serious. Let’s hope not, anyway. Questions? E-mail Alan J. Heavens at aheavens@phillynews.com or write to him at The Inquirer, Box 8263, Philadelphia, PA 19101. Volume prohibits individual replies.

From choosing an agent to choosing a house, the Internet is big By ALAN HEAVENS The Philadelphia Inquirer

What would real estate do without the Internet? If I had asked that question a few years ago, the reply would have been, “Inter-what?” But these days, the real-estate agent who hasn’t latched onto the pos-

sibilities offered by the World Wide Web is rare. A recent survey commissioned by Prudential Fox & Roach supports the overwhelming importance of the Internet — to home buyers especially. Results of the survey, conducted by the Reed Organiza-

tion and based on 284 responses to questionnaires e-mailed to several thousand Philadelphiaarea buyers and sellers, show that the Internet plays an oversize role. That starts with choosing an agent, according to the survey results.

Among the 43 percent of buyers who reported using Internet resources for agent selection, the most important resources were the website of the real-estate broker the agent represented, a real estate website See INTERNET, Page 7C

Freshman girl needs advice for navigating the teenage social system Dear Abby: I’m a 14-year-old girl in my first year of high school. I’m not sure what to do about boys or how to make friends. All I ever learned at home was what NOT to do. I’m not allowed to date until I’m 16, but I really like this boy in my math class. What should I do? I’m so confused. My parents have protected me against things for so long, and I’ve had to learn from my friends’ and my mistakes. I wonder sometimes if I have to be obedient to my parents or if I should make my own choices. Help! — Dateless and Clueless in Nevada

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Dateless: At 14 it’s normal to have a crush on a classmate. It’s also normal for your parents to want to protect you. You say you have had to learn from your friends’ and your own mistakes. That’s normal, too. It’s how we all learn about life. Until you’re old enough to date, become active in events at school. It’s a healthy way to make friends and learn social skills. And continue being obedient to your parents. That’s how teens build enough trust so that their parents gain the confidence to give them more freedom.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

Dear Abby: “Carl” and I have been married 23 happy years. He’s a great guy, an awesome dad to our teenage girls and an excellent provider. There’s only one problem. Lately he’s boring. Carl doesn’t have a physically demanding job, so he can’t blame it on being tired. I always make the plans for entertainment because if I didn’t, we’d never go anywhere or do anything. When we go out, I feel like he’s just along for the ride and would rather be home in front of the TV. I can see he tries to enjoy himself when we’re with friends, but when I ask him afterward, he says, “It was OK,” or, “They’re not my favorite people.” When I ask if he’d like to plan the next outing, he says he’s

CRYPTOQUOTE

happy just staying home. I work, go to school and have a busy life, but I need more in it and I’d like to include my husband. My friends are all couples so, naturally, I’d like to have Carl at my side. Whatever I suggest for fun, he’s never enthusiastic about any of it. If I have to stay home one more Friday night and watch a movie on pay-per-view, I’ll scream! Please help. — Tired of Friday Night Blues Dear Tired: You say “lately” your husband is boring. What was he like before that? A man who is listless, lethargic and disengaged should see his doctor to make sure there is nothing physically wrong and if he could be suffering from a mild

depression. Suggest he have a physical and, if possible, go with him so you can voice your concerns. If nothing is wrong with Carl, you two need to find some activity you can do together that you both will enjoy — something that doesn’t involve either television or people your husband doesn’t particularly relate to.

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

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You might not think that what you have to say is particularly profound, but it needs to be said and is, therefore, important. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Objects and people can’t bring you happiness, though you will have a great time pursuing a certain prize with others. Just don’t forget that the happiness comes from you, not the game you’re playing. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everyone needs a platonic friend who will stick by them through good times and bad. If you’ve let such a person drift out of touch, reel him or her back into your life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You care tremendously about your interactions with others, and that sometimes wears you out and makes you dread social functions. Relax and enjoy solitude. Rest up, and you’ll be more in the mood to mingle next week. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When loved ones want to help you, let them do it. Pride could get in the way of some assistance this weekend, and that would be a shame. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re more remarkable than you realize. Don’t shrink yourself to fit in with a small-minded group. Instead, find the people who are thinking and living on the same scale as you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a part of a group and a partner in work, friendship, love or all of the above. But you are not defined by these roles. It’s what you do on your own to fulfill your soul’s purpose that you’ll be most proud of now.

MINUTE MAZE JUMBLE BY MICHEAL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

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

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll take on a task that many have taken on before you. The predictability factor will work against you. So take control of the situation and execute the job in a way that is uniquely you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be dealing with shrewd players in a challenging game. You need an edge. Never let the others know fully what you’re up to. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The clubs, leagues and organizations you belong to are sometimes more work than fun. Right now they’re all worthwhile, though, and you’ll be glad you made the choice to be a part of these groups. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have the right to be happy, not because you’ve earned it but because you were born with it, just like everyone else. You’ll enjoy life and share that enjoyment with others. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be stirred by an exciting wonder. The best part of this is that you don’t have to go to the Grand Canyon or the Egyptian pyramids to experience this wonder. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 28). You make highly original choices this year, which is why you repeatedly land in new and novel situations. Family makes you proud in the next six weeks. August features improvements and additions to your team and exciting news, too. You’ll glide into an exclusive situation in September. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 1, 26, 48 and 9.

Dodge Durango stages a comeback NUTS AND BOLTS

SCOTT WASSER WHEELS

WHAT IS IT?

If you’ve been paying any attention to the automotive world, you probably noticed that the Dodge Durango hasn’t been around the past couple of model years. At least I did. That might be because I spent over eight years living in Delaware, during which time the Durango was being built in Newark just across the street from the University of Delaware’s athletic facilities. I’m not sure how many thousands of workers Chrysler employed at that factory, but it seemed like nearly all of them drove Durangos. Chrysler offered great employee discounts, and the Durango was regularly rated one of the best SUVs you could buy. Since SUVs were all anybody wanted to drive at the time, it seemed like most of Delaware drove a Durango. But times changed.
