WILKES-BARRE – The city claims the state Department of Community and Economic Development approved the transfer of $3 million earmarked for the Sterling Hotel project to the Intermodal Transportation Center in 2009 because “CityVest failed to meet conditions of the grant agreement.” CityVest on Wednesday issued a statement in response that said a developer pulled out of the Sterling Hotel project in early 2010 when it was learned the $3 million was redirected. CityVest disputes the city’s

claim that certain conditions were not met. According to Drew McLaughlin, administrative coordinator for Mayor Tom Leighton, the city made the request to DCED in November 2009 to redirect the $3 million, and the state agency approved it. The $3 million was allocated through the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which is administered by the state Office of the Budget. “CityVest did not meet the special conditions of the grant agreement, and the state was not going to give CityVest the $3 million,” McLaughlin said. “The city was going

to lose the money entirely.” To avoid losing the funding, McLaughlin said, the city requested it be redirected to the Intermodal project, which through the years had grown from a project of $12 million to one totaling $27 million. McLaughlin said the state agreed to the transfer of the funding to help pay for “unforeseen site conditions, scope changes, and anticipated construction cost increases due to initial delays which were out of the city’s control.” He said examples of the unforeseen

Lemonade stand targets school cuts

WRIGHT TWP. – A group of parents from the Crestwood School District took the “lemons” of School Board budget cuts and decided to make lemonade. The group, led by parents Kristin Joseph, Peter Strecker, Shannon Williams and Daisha Medvetz, opened a small lemonade stand outside the Subway restaurant on Route 309 on Wednesday morning in a symbolic effort to alert the School Board to their opposition to the looming 2011-12 budget cuts, especially to the elimination of full-day kindergarten.

“By this little venture, we’re asking the School Board, ‘Is this what we have to do to save our children’s kindergarten?’ ” said Joseph. “We have a petition with over 400 signatures,” she added. “We want to send a clear message to the board that we don’t want them to cut our educational programs, especially kindergarten.” The group members said they plan to present the petition at tonight’s School Board meeting, along with other data they’ve gathered to support their cause. “I’ve done a lot of research on the proposed

Commissioners to appeal order to rehire 36 Union employees were cut from payroll when their department was outsourced.

By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES jandes@timesleader.com

Luzerne County commissioners voted Wednesday to appeal a state order forcing the county to reinstate 36 union employees who were cut from the county payroll when their department was outsourced nearly a year ago. A state hearing examiner recently ordered the county to rehire the workers and pay all their lost wages and benefits. The county appeal would be heard by the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board, commissioners said. A year’s worth of pay for the impacted former employees would total more than $1million, according to payroll records from 2010.

The estimated cost of health insurance and other benefits for the employees was not available. Commissioner Thomas Cooney said after Wednesday’s onthe-road meeting in Butler Township that complicated analysis would be required to determine the order’s financial impact because it says the county must make the employees “whole.” Unemployment that has been paid to the furloughed workers would have to be deducted from the payroll amounts owed, he said. The order would also require the county to reimburse payments some of the workers made to keep health insurance under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, he said. Commissioners do not know if the expense would have to come out of the county’s strapped general fund operating budget or state and federal funding earmarked for

the employment programs that had been provided by the impacted workers, he said. The ruling stemmed from an unfair labor practices claim filed against the county last May by unionized employees of the county’s Workforce Investment Development Agency, which no longer exists. The union – the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, or AFSCME – argued that the county played a role in the outsourcing of employment programs for adults and underprivileged youths and failed to negotiate the contracting out of jobs with union workers as required by their collective bargaining agreement. Commissioners maintain the outsourcing was beyond their control because it was initiated and executed by the autonomous Luzerne-Schuylkill Workforce Investment Board.

The order, issued by hearing examiner Thomas Leonard, also instructs the county to immediately rescind contracts with three private companies that had been hired to handle the outsourced employment programs. Commissioners also unanimously voted Wednesday to grant the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry’s request to postpone $4.7 million in loan repayments until the economy improves. Chamber officials asked for the deferral months ago, arguing the organization is broke and must sell land to come up with the money to repay the loans. Commissioners said they did not want to force the chamber to unload land in a fire sale to pay the loans because the county may not receive all the money owed. The money came out of a community development business loan fund.

County officials also voted to create a new assistant solicitor position at a salary of $39,884 to represent the county in mental health commitment hearings. The new position, which includes benefits, will be funded by the state and save roughly $40,000 because the county won’t renew contracts with two attorneys who previously handled these hearings -- Edward Ciarimboli and Michael Butera, said county Solicitor Vito DeLuca. Contracts with both attorneys expire at the end of the month, he said. Those one-year contracts totaled $46,500 for Ciarimboli and $48,500 for Butera, he said. DeLuca said there were about 420 mental health hearings in the past year, and about 270 were handled by the two attorneys.

Surplus whittled down Hazleton rental rules mulled by school health trust

The cooperative body’s cash reserve has drawn criticism from area districts. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

WYOMING – The Northeast Pennsylvania School District Health Trust has spent nearly $2 million more than it took in during the past 10 months, but that was by design, Trust Board CoChairman Ralph Scoda said. “It is part of an effort at surplus management,” Scoda said, after the board met Wednesday. The trust is a consortium of local school districts formed in 1999 to pool resources and lower health insurance costs. Scoda noted the board had decided to reduce the surplus by $2.4 million this fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30. The surplus, which once hovered around $20 million, is about $14.8 million now, Scoda added. The surplus became a bone of contention with several districts when it was near its peak, with two districts – Dallas and Pittston Area – withdrawing from the trust because they felt the trust should

have lowered premiums rather than amass so much money. Trust officials have countered that a healthy surplus is necessary because a few large claims can rapidly drain such reserves. Dallas and Pittston Area sued the trust in an effort to get what they claim is their share of the surplus. Court-mandated accounting shows the two districts paid $4.3 million more into the trust than they received in benefit payments or owed for administrative overhead. Both districts have said they want the money to be put into a separate reserve that would be tapped solely for health insurance coverage. The trust argues that all members agreed any money paid into the trust stays with it unless the trust itself dissolves. A non-jury trial was heard the first week of this month and both sides await a ruling by Luzerne County Judge Lewis Wetzel. Scoda, the former business administrator for Wilkes-Barre Area School District, said the lawsuit prompted the trust’s board to vote previously on a “floor” below which the surplus will not go: $6.7 million.

Religious issues eyed in gay marriage bill The Associated Press

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s three top political leaders said Wednesday they supported several additional religious exceptions to a gay marriage bill and were in critical negotiations over wording. Even if the exceptions are approved, however, the bill must be sent to the Senate floor for a vote by the Republican conference, most of whose members

oppose gay marriage. Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos and Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said that while there was no deal on the religious exceptions, talks were encouraging. “We’re going back and forth on language,” Cuomo said Wednesday. “But we have not hit any obstacles.”

Ordinance would set more inspections and registration fees for landlords By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent

HAZLETON -- The Rental Registration Ordinance and maintenance of properties were topics of heated discussion at Wednesday night’s City Council meeting. Residents cited problems with bug infestation, fire hazards and increased criminal activity as reasons to pass ordinance 201113, which mandates increased inspections and registration fees charged to landlords. “People are afraid to go to sleep at night,” said resident Jeanie Mope, who is running for City Council. “Recently, one of our neighbors had a bullet come into his living room.” Antonio Rodriguez, a member

of the City Planning Committee, pointed to other cities that have made efforts to maintain the appearance of the community. “Such cities as Bloomsburg and Carlisle, Pa., are a pleasure to look at,” Rodriguez said, indicating that he hopes Hazleton could also improve the maintenance of its properties and its general appearance. “I don’t want the city of Hazleton to look like a dump or a ghetto,” he said. “We need to save Hazleton.” But, Justine Crego, representing HALO, an alliance of city landlords, cautioned that the ordinance, if enacted, might penalize compliant landlords by assessing them additional fees, while out-of-state landlords have failed to comply with existing regulations. She said city landlords would closely review the ordinance before the final vote on it in late July.

Council member Jack Mundee said landlords who resided locally tended to take good care of their properties, but out-ofstate landlords often had limited contact with their tenants and did not maintain their properties. He said the ordinance was drafted to address the issue of absentee landlords. Council member Karin Cabell said the ordinance would not only provide regulations in regard to rental properties, but also the fees dictated by the ordinance would make enforcement possible. “At this time, we just don’t have the manpower,” said Cabell, “but if the ordinance is passed, the city will have an additional tool available to it to improve the maintenance and appearance of city properties.” The ordinance will have its second reading at council’s next meeting on July 20, and a final vote will occur at the time.

Ad OK’d for new county manager But Home Rule Transition group decides to hold off advertising for the post. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – With the minimum of members present, the Luzerne County Home Rule Transition Committee on Wednesday approved an advertisement for the new county manager, but held off advertising the position. Only six of the committee members participated in the vote that sparked debate about revealing the identities of the applicants for the job of running the county when the Home Rule Charter takes effect next year. Members raised concerns that the release of the names from the start would deter the most qualified from applying, fearing that their employers would find out they were looking for another job. By a vote of 4-2 the committee

approved the inclusion of a sentence proposed by committee treasurer Susan Shoval that said, “Position finalists must be willing to allow public disclosure of their resumes in order to move forward in the process.” Shoval, committee vice chairman Rob Bakewell, Veronica Ciaruffoli and Rick Heffron supported the language. Attorney Jim Bobeck, committee chairman, and Rick Morelli opposed it. Bakewell participated by telephone. Morelli, whose subcommittee worked on the advertisement, presented a few options on the release of the names. He said the ad could say nothing about releasing the names; it could say the names will be released; or it could say the names may be released. “I think we need to play it safe because we don’t know what the (county) council will do,” he said. The 11-member council will be elected in November and can decide to disregard anything the transition committee has done, committee members said.

Shoval acknowledged that such an important vote was taken with the quorum of six members needed for the committee to conduct business. “I’m a little uncomfortable that only four of us voted on it,” she said. Bobeck noted that he too would consider discussing the issue with more members. The committee next meets on July13. Bobeck added that another look at the issue would not affect the proposed deadline of Sept. 15 for applications. If the ad was released by July 15, there would be two full months of response time. Before the advertisement vote, the committee also voted 5-1 to approve the job description for the manager. Heffron cast the sole vote in opposition, saying the charter contains the job description. Commissioner Steve Urban arrived after the votes. The commissioners held a meeting in Butler Township while the transition committee met.

Northwest OKs $17.4M budget with no tax hike By TOM HUNTINGTON Times Leader Correspondent

UNION TWP. – The Northwest Area School Board voted 5-4 Wednesday night to enact a 2011-2012 budget of about $17.4 million without any real estate tax increases after voting down a plan that would have raised property taxes by 2 percent. The millage rate would have gone from 9.1986 to 9.2835. A mill is $1in tax for every $1,000 in assessed property valuation. Before the vote, director Randy Tomassacci said he felt the residents of the district, under current economic conditions, “can’t afford even a $20 increase in their taxes and accordingly I have to vote no.” Tomassacci’s comments came

after Albert Melone Jr. of Albert B. Melone Co., financial adviser to the district, had outlined a spending plan that would have raised taxes by what he said is an average of $17.42 per household. Melone had described a series of cuts in transportation, personnel and supplies that resulted in the $17,378,000 plan he submitted. Directors Peter Lanza, Michael Pegarella, Daryl Morgan, Albert Gordon voted with Tomassacci in rejecting increased tax. Gina Schwartz, Alton Farver, Gerald Conyer and board president Charles Brace voted for Melone’s plan that would have raised millage rates. A second vote on a plan without a tax increase passed 5-4.

Melone also noted that junior high school sports for the 20112012 year had been reinstated. It was stated the revenue shortfall that will occur because of sustaining tax rates will be absorbed in a current fund balance of $1,032.94. Also, the board voted 7-2 to retain Gary Powlus, recently retired superintendent of the Benton Area School District, as acting superintendent, on parttime, per diem basis effective with Tkatch’s June 30 resignation. Tkatch has accepted the administrative director post at the West Side Career and Technical School. Brace said interviews had been conducted last week to find a fulltime replacement for Tkatch.

LOCAL Riccardi nervous, witness says Karen Kelly says she gave a ride to a suspect in the death of Donald Skiff. By SHEENA DELAZIO sdelazio@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Elvis Riccardi and Michael Simonson went to Karen Kelly’s house early in the morning on April 28, 2009, and asked for a ride to Shickshinny, Kelly testified Wednesday. Riccardi paced, Kelly testified, while Simonson sat on a couch with his head in his hands. “(Riccardi kept saying) he didn’t want to go to the penitentiary … that he did something bad,” Kelly said in the third day of testimony at Riccardi’s capital murder trial. Riccardi, 33, is charged in the death of

34-year-old Donald Skiff. Police say Skiff went missing on April 27, 2009, and his body was found on June 4, 2009, in a wooded area of Suscon Road in Jenkins Township. Riccardi Simonson has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison in August. Testimony will continue this morning before a jury of 10 women and five men. Kelly, of Wilkes-Barre, testified the two men gave her $20 for the ride to Riccardi’s mother’s home on Main Street in Shickshinny and that there was no conversation during the 30-minute ride. Kelly said that Riccardi and Simonson would slide down in the seat when a police

car would drive by. The men thanked her, she testified, and Riccardi asked for a ride back to WilkesBarre. Riccardi seemed edgy, Kelly said, and came by her home several times that week, including on May 1 when, Kelly said, she was reading the newspaper about the missing Donald Skiff, whose Ford Ranger truck was found burned in the Plymouth Flats area just days before. “I said, ‘This is what you did, Elvis?’ ” and he said, ‘Pretty face ain’t pretty no more,’ ” Kelly testified. Riccardi then went upstairs with Kelly’s then-boyfriend. Kelly went to see why the two men were locked in her bedroom for so long when she heard Riccardi detailing how Skiff was killed. “He said he (Skiff) was on his knees

Strong hearing continued

sentencing hearing scheduled Wednesday for convicted murA derer James Strong was continued at

the request of attorneys. Strong, 59, was found guilty earlier this month by a Luzerne County jury of first-degree murder in the 1983 shooting death of John Strock in Dorrance Township. That jury was tasked with sentencing Strong to either life in prison or the death penalty. After being unable to reach a decision, Judge Thomas Burke is now required to sentence Strong to life in prison. Strong’s sentencing was delayed Wednesday until June 29 due to conflicts with sentencing guidelines that attorneys for Strong and prosecutors agreed needed to be sorted out. The attorneys said they are unsure if guidelines from 1983 – when the crime occurred – or more recent guidelines apply to the case.

Jim Brozena met with residents in Port Blanchard to discuss flooding issues. Brozena is flanked by John Romanuski and Rory Shaver.

JENKINS TWP. – Every time relentless rain inundates the Wyoming Valley and the Susquehanna River rises as it did this spring, a bowl of land off River Street near the Eighth Street bridge fills with water, soaking the yards and basements of area residents. On Wednesday, Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority Director Jim Brozena met with Jenkins Township officials and residents of the Port Blanchard section of the township and toured Miller Street, where the flooding is centered, to identify the problem and discuss possible solutions. Residents said water begins seeping from the ground on a piece of vacant land behind Miller Street after periods of heavy rain. Fire Chief Dan Kosisky said the fire department pumped water out of the area for about two months this spring, when the region saw near-record rainfall. John Romanuski, of Miller Street, said his basement filled with water this spring, and before that three years ago, when the spring rains also were heavy. “If it rains good every other month, it’ll be here every other month,” he said. Brozena said homes in the area appear to sit in a bowl bordered by higher ground and elevated railroad tracks. As the river rises, groundwater cannot drain into the river. A pumping station and drainage canal could provide a possible solution to mitigate the problem most of the time, he said. “The question becomes, is this a viable solution or is it a stop-gap measure,” Brozena said. “What we’re trying to do with mitigation is to solve the problem completely. … I think everyone needs to be cognizant of the fact that it will work up to a certain point.” To build the pumping station, the project needs to be added to the Wyoming Valley Levee System Mitigation Board’s project list, and to do that, further study identifying the source of the water and the extent of the area affected is needed, he said.

Arena attracts conventions, boosts area economy Up to 14,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses coming over three weekends could bring in as much as $2 million a day. By MATT HUGHES mhughes@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – The Jehovah’s Witnesses are coming. Starting Friday, the religious sect will host a series of three-day conventions at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza during the next three weekends, attracting an estimated 12,000 to 14,000 total attendees. The Witnesses will host two “Let God’s Kingdom Come!” conventions for

English speakers Friday through Sunday and July 1-3, and a third for Spanish speakers July 8-10. Larry Andrews, news coordinator for the first convention, said organizers expect about 4,000 to attend each of the three, free weekend events. There are about 800 to 900 Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, and more in outlying regions, Andrews said, but congregation members from as far afield as State College, Williamsport and Wellsboro, and Elmira and Binghamton, N.Y., will attend. The conference should provide a welcome economic boost for area hotels, restaurants and retailers. The Luzerne County Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates visitors stay-

ing overnight in the county spend about $150 per day, so if all projected to attend show up, that’s a potential $2 million daily economic boost for area hotels, restaurants, gas stations, tourist venues and other businesses. “I think that what we see is there is absolute economic impact from conventions and conferences and it’s good to see that the community’s investment in the infrastructure improvements to allow those kinds of events has paid off,” said Larry Newman, vice president of economic and community development for the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce.

Naomi Simms, of Haverford Drive, filed a private complaint charging her neighbor, David Rowlands, with harassment after repeated disputes involving her 10-year-old daughter playing outside. Simms alleges Rowlands has yelled and cursed at her daughter for playing in areas designated as “common ground,” which includes the parking lot

and grassy open areas near the townhouses. “Children have rights and one of those rights is to play outside,” Simms said. “Mr. Rowlands has repeatedly yelled at my daughter and other children that they are not allowed to play on common ground.” Rowlands did not return messages left at his residence on Tuesday and Wednesday. A summary trial on Simms’ complaint is scheduled on June 30 before District Judge Diana Malast. Simms attached a six-page handwritten letter to her complaint detailing her alleged encounters with Rowlands since September. “I’ve been living here for 10 years and love it. I’ve never had a problem until Mr. Rowlands was elected president of the association,” Simms said.

Simms said Rowlands was electedassociationpresidentin May 2010. Shortly thereafter, Simms said,residentsinthetownhouses received notification that children are prohibited from playing on common ground. Theonlyareawherechildren are permitted to play is a tiny yard immediately in front of their individual townhouses, Simms said. “My daughter was playing with sidewalk chalk and Mr. Rowlands came out of his house and started yelling at her that the sidewalk is common ground,” Simms said. “If he has a problem, he shouldn’t be yelling at children that way but address the problem with the parents.” Simms said the association dues of $50 per month is used for ground maintenance, legal fees and taxes on common

ground, which should give her the right to allow her daughter to play outside. “There are a lot of elderly that live in the townhouses and Mr. Rowlands wants to turn this into a retirement community,” Simms said. “But there are a lot of families with children here, too.”

Gov. Tom Corbett has asked the Obama administration to provide federal disaster aid that will help governments and certain nonprofit organizations in Bradford, Lycoming, Sullivan, Tioga and Wyoming counties recover from a devastating storm that moved through the region in April. Corbett said federal assistance is necessary because Corbett the magnitude of the damage is beyond the response capabilities of the state and local governments. If approved, state government and local governments, as well as certain nonprofit organizations in these counties, could apply for federal aid to pay 75 percent of the approved cost of debris removal, emergency services related to the disaster and repairing or replacing damaged public facilities.

State high court gets case

The state Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a Superior Court ruling that significantly reduced the sentence of a man convicted of homicide by motor vehicle while driving drunk for killing a motorcyclist. The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office filed an appeal in March in the case of Jeffrey Borrin of Hazleton, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to causing the crash that killed William “Butch” Delaney of Plymouth and seriously injured his wife, Linda. Borrin was sentenced on May 18, 2006, to 107 to 214 months in prison, but the sentence was overturned in January based on a legal technicality involving the wording of a verbal order Judge Chester Muroski made in imposing the sentence. Muroski imposed a term of 36 to 72 months on the homicide charge. He then imposed several terms of imprisonment on six other charges and directed they be served “consecutive to count one,” the homicide charge. By law, Muroski should have ordered each sentence on each charge to be served consecutive to the prior count, not to count one, as he stated. By failing to do so, the other sentences were considered to run concurrent, or simultaneously, and not consecutive to each other.

LIU budget cuts exceed $754,000 By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

KINGSTON -- The Board of Directors of the Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 on Wednesday discussed the 2011-2012 General Operating Budget, which includes cuts totaling more than $754,000. LIU Director Hal Bloss said the Pennsylvania Department of Education-approved cuts include administration and personnel contract salary freezes, program cuts and furloughs. Bloss said the 15 furloughed positions included nine non-professional clerical employees and five teachers under contract with LIU. He also said one retirementrelated opening would not be filled and one “professional employee” was terminated for just cause. “I understand that a lot of districts are having a difficult time with budgetary issues in the current environment,” said Bloss. “But honestly, our proposed budget shows a 7.9 percent decrease from 2010. “We’re doing our part to keep costs down.”

The executive director’s report for June stated the following districts voted to approve the 20112012 LIU General Operating Budget: Wilkes-Barre Area, Pittston Area, Wyoming Area, Old Forge and Hanover Area. The report also noted the Crestwood School Board voted down LIU budget by a 4-2 vote at its April 21 meeting. The total amount to be paid by participating school districts for 2011-2012 contracted services for special education programs and services at LIU is about $11.4 million.

The board approved the federal grant application for the Individuals with Disabilities Act for the upcoming year in the amount of $8.6 million. School year 2011-12 transportation contracts were approved for the following providers: Art Spencer Transport, Dallas; Ben Leggier Transportation, Edwardsville; Cragle Bus Service, Shickshinny; Reliable Transportation, Pittston; T&M Transit, Plymouth; and Pace Transportation, Pittston (community access trips).

HARRISBURG — The core issues of wages and benefits remained unsettled Wednesday as negotiations between the Corbett administration and the two largest state-employee unions stretched into a third straight day. Contracts with 17 unions

Marines go through a fast roping exercise Wednesday onto the grounds of Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park in East St. Louis, Ill. The techniques they will demonstrate for shows this week are designed for inserting and extracting a team from a landing zone that a helicopter could not normally fly into, such as a heavily wooded area.

WASHINGTON—TheFederal Reserve on Wednesday again dialed back its projections for U.S. economic growth, foreseeing slower growth this year and next than it had forecast previously, and Chairman Ben Bernanke implored Congress to avoid steep spending cuts anytime soon that would further slow recovery. The projections came after a meeting of the policy-making Federal Open Market Committee,wherememberslefttheFed’s benchmark short-term interest rate where it’s been since Decem-

$600 billion in purchases of Treasury securities this month as expected. Those purchases were an unprecedented move intended to spur investors to take riskier choices than government bonds bydrivingdownthebonds’price, but some critics blame them for helping to push up prices of oil and other commodities. Bernanke made it clear that the U.S. economy’s recovery continues, albeit at a slower pace than desired. The Fed chief cautioned that there’s still great uncertainty. Bernanke pointed to declining oil prices and global auto parts shortages that followed Japan’s recent earthquake and tsunami as temporary factors.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s news conference is seen on TV on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday.

The Fed chief warned that steep near-term cuts in government spending would slow the economy and cost jobs. Bernanke’s views conflict with

House Speaker John Boehner, ROhio, who has railed against government spending and insists that cutting it deeply will create jobs.

Mired in economic worry, Americans are growing gloomier about where the country is headed and the way President Barack Obama is leading it. Opinions of the economy are at the lowest of the year as high gas prices, anemic hiring and financial turmoil abroad shake a nation’s confidence. Obama has hit new highs he’d like to avoid — in public disapproval over his handling of the economy in general and unemployment in particular — according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. In addition, more disapprove of his handling of health care and the federal budget deficit than in the past. The poll shows that four out of five people now believe the economy is in poor shape.

Al-Qaida militants escape

early 60 suspected al-Qaida militants tunneled their way out of a N Yemeni prison in the lawless south on

Wednesday, deepening the chaos of a nation where protesters are trying to topple the autocratic regime. The escape from the Mukalla prison in Hadramout province is the latest sign that Islamic militants are seizing on the mayhem to operate more freely, something the U.S. fears will become an increasing international threat if the impoverished nation grows even more unstable. Hundreds of Islamic militants have also taken control of two southern towns in recent weeks. Much of Yemen has been paralyzed by months of massive protests demanding the ouster of longtime leader Ali Abdullah Saleh. The crisis shifted to armed street conflict between troops loyal to Saleh and rival tribal fighters.

Anthony trial eyes trunk

A chemist who collected and tested air samples from the trunk of Casey Anthony’s car testified Wednesday that he couldn’t say for sure there was ever a body inside of it, statements that conflict with prosecutors’ experts. Defense witness Michael Sigman pulled the samples from Anthony’s trunk six days after the skeletal remains of Anthony’s 2-year-old daughter Caylee were discovered in a wooded area in December 2008. He was one of five witnesses to take the stand as the defense continued to attack the prosecution’s contentions that the toddler was suffocated by duct tape and then spent at least some time in the trunk. Anthony is charged with first-degree murder in her child’s death. She has pleaded not guilty and faces a possible death sentence if convicted. The defense says the toddler drowned in her grandparents’ swimming pool. PHILADELPHIA

The report says Dunn’s blood-alcohol level was 0.196 at the time of the crash early Monday morning. The report was released Wednesday by West Goshen Township Police. The legal limit for drivers in the state is .08. Police say Dunn may have been going as fast as 140 mph when his Porsche veered off the roadway.

MINOT, N.D. — Sirens wailed across Minot Wednesday as the swollen Souris River overtopped levees five hours ahead of a looming evacuation deadline, setting in motion what is expected to be the worst flooding to hit the North Dakota city in four decades. The warning was followed by an announcement saying, “All residents must evacuate, Zones 1 through 9,” prompting

main north-south thoroughfare through Minot. The road was bumper-to-bumper with furniture-loaded pickup trucks and cars pulling U-Hauls trying to get out of town. Nessler pointed to a side street that had become inundated in the hour since she arrived. “That didn’t have any water when I got here, and now it’s filling up,” Nessler said. The mayor said the city has just been buying time, and he urged people to be safe as they leave. “Be cautious and be courteous, I guess,” he told KXMC. “Everybody’s trying to do the same thing. If we work together, the result’s probably going to be the best.”

The Associated Press

The Syrian regime, besieged by street protests at home and condemnation abroad, on Wednesday lashed out at European governments for threatening a new round of sanctions and accused the West of trying to sow chaos and conflict in the Arab nation. But Foreign Minister Walid Moallem also reiterated the president’s call for national dialogue and spoke of democracy over the horizon — a bold assertion after more than four decades of iron-fisted rule by the Assad family and months of bloody reprisals. It was the regime’s latest attempt to blunt three months of widespread demonstrations, a movement that was inspired by pro-democracy upheavals elsewhere in the Mideast.

CONNERSVILLE, Ind. — An Amish man who sent more than 600 text messages that included lewd images to a 12-year-old girl he randomly dialed was arrested when he arrived in his horse and buggy for what he thought was a meeting for sex, police said. Willard Yoder, 26, faces four counts of child solicitation after being arrested June 15 in his hometown of Milroy, about 45 miles southeast of Indianapolis. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf during his initial hearing Friday. Connersville police Detective Craig Pennington said authorities set up the meet-

The Souris River, which loops down from Canada through north central North Dakota, has been bloated by heavy spring snowmelt and rain on both sides of the border. The resulting deluge is expected to dwarf a historic flood of 1969, when the Souris reached 1,555.4 feet above sea lev-

el. The river is expected to hit nearly 1,563 feet this weekend — eventually topping the historical record of 1,558 feet set in 1881. Minot Mayor Curt Zimbelman warned Wednesday morning that the river would top the levees earlier than expected and said residents still moving their belongings from the evacuation zone should “do their last-minute thing and be prepared to move quickly.” The National Weather Service in Bismarck also issued a flash-flood warning along the Souris River from Burlington through Minot and Logan to Sawyer.

Pennington said the messages started out innocent, but eventually the man texting wrote that he was a 21-yearold Amish man named Willard and asked the girl if she were horny, to send naked pictures of herself and asked if she wanted to “make out.” Pennington said the man continued to send texts and the mother turned the cellphone over to police. He said the cellphone was turned over to Indiana State Police who found at least 600 text

messages were sent, including requests for nude photos and asking if she wanted to meet to have sex. Pennington said Yoder also sent five pictures and two videos to the girl’s cellphone, some of which included naked photos of him.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama lacks the support of the House for authorizing the U.S. military operation in Libya, Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday, as Congress sent conflicting messages about America’s role in the NATO-led mission against Moammar Gadhafi. Leading Republicans and Democrats in the Senate are pushing a resolution to give Obama limited authority in the 3-month-old war, with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., calling it a “clear statement to our allies, to the world, to the Libyan people and to

in both parties. Boehner was asked about the Senate effort led by Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., and Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the top Republican on the Armed Services Committee. “They’re pushing for an authorization in Libya and I don’t think that is where the House is,” Boehner said. “The fact is the president has not made his case to the members of Congress. He’s not made his case to the American people. We’ve been in this conflict for 90 days and the president hasn’t talked to the American people for four or five weeks about why we’re there, what our national interest is and why we should continue.”

Scranton lawyer advances toward federal judgeship By JONATHAN RISKIND Washington Bureau Correspondent

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Following the letter of the law and adhering to higher court precedents would guide his actions on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, not his years as a labor lawyer, Scranton attorney Robert Mariani told a Senate committee Wednesday. Mariani was one of three Pennsylvania U.S. District Court nominees to receive a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top Republican said in an interview after the hearing that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of them will have a problem being confirmed for the lifetime judicial appointment. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican and the only member of his party present at the hearing for Mariani, West-

ern District nominees Cathy Bissoon and Mark Hornak and a nominee for the district court bench in Florida, spent some time probing Marianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views on labor law issues such as collective bargaining rights and at-will employment. The hearing was chaired by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, the only Democrat present. The committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judicial nominee questionnaire Mariani filled out says he is a labor and employment law attorney who primarily has represented unions, employee benefit and public sector trust funds and individual employees, as well as some employers, including the University of Scranton. Asked by Grassley about his past criticism of at-will employment laws, Mariani responded that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not view employment as a right or an entitlement.â&#x20AC;? And whatever his views of atwill employment law, it is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;bedrockâ&#x20AC;? of Pennsylvania labor law and those precedents would govern his actions on the bench, Mariani said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not view employment as a right or an entitlement.â&#x20AC;?

His guidelines as a federal judge would be precedents handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court and the 3rd Circuit Court of Robert Mariani Appeals, which Judge nominee includes Pennsylvania, Mariani said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not come to the bench with any predisposition whatsoeverâ&#x20AC;? when it comes to labor/management issues, Mariani said. In the interview after the hearing, Grassley said that unless something unexpected comes up, approval by the committee and confirmation by the full Senate should occur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this point, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think any of them (Mariani and the other nominees at Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing) â&#x20AC;Ś will have trouble based on what I heard today,â&#x20AC;? Grassley said. In another sign that his nomination is not controversial, Marianiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

nomination has bipartisan support from Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Scranton and Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Zionsville. Toomey appeared along with Casey at Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hearing to introduce Mariani and the other Pennsylvania nominees and laud their nominations. Toomey said Mariani and the other two Pennsylvania nominees all have the necessary experience and skill to be fair and impartial judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These attributes will serve them very well if they are confirmed for the bench, and I hope that the committee favorably reports all three nominees to the full Senate, which I hope will then promptly confirm them,â&#x20AC;? Toomey said. Casey said he has known Mariani for years, practicing law in the same city, and noted Mariani is a sole proprietor lawyer, which also means running his own business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough about his ability, his integrity, and his commitment to do justice,â&#x20AC;? Casey said. Toomey called Mariani a litigator

with more than three decades of experience, â&#x20AC;&#x153;expert in his fieldâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the top lawyers in the Scranton area.â&#x20AC;? Mariani could receive a Judici-

Keystone Research Center director answers criticism Stephen Herzenberg responds to Marcellus Shale Coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knock on jobs report. Times Leader staff

The director of the Keystone Research Center said on Wednesday that while the director of the Marcellus Shale Coalition called his policy brief on job creation by the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania a â&#x20AC;&#x153;political attack,â&#x20AC;? she did not dispute his assertions. The brief cites a state Department of Labor and Industry report showing that Marcellus-related industries have created less than 10,000 jobs in recent years, not the 48,000 jobs claimed in recent press reports, noted research center Executive Director Stephen Herzenberg.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The exaggerated claims of Marcellus-related job creation stem from a confusion between â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new hiresâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;job growth.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Job growth, by definition, equals new hires minus â&#x20AC;Ś quits, firings and retirements,â&#x20AC;? he said. Herzenberg said that rather than contest the main point of the brief, coalition President and Executive Director Kathryn Klaber in response to the brief combined information on employment

changes in Marcellus-related industries that were addressed in the brief with other information on Marcellus industries that do not relate to the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impact on employment in the state. Klaber also referred to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ancillary employment impacts cascading through businesses across the commonwealth.â&#x20AC;? No source or data are presented to support the claim of these â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ancillary employment impacts,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Lancaster area ordinance to deal with nuisance is proposed as solution. By EILEEN GODIN Times Leader Correspondent

HARVEYS LAKE -- Random safety checks may help limit the number of excessively loud motorcycles, said borough attorney Charles McCormick. The proposal came in response to complaints voiced by residents at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting. At Tuesday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, Rob Weaver said he and several neighbors are getting tried of the loud rumble from bikes with altered exhaust systems. Weaver supplied the council with a copy of a noise ordinance from the Lancaster area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has stood the test of time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five other municipalities in the Lancaster area have passed the ordinance.â&#x20AC;? McCormick said he reviewed the ordinance and found its coverage to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;very broad.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would cover items like noise from construction and motorboats,â&#x20AC;? McCormick said.

W H AT â&#x20AC;&#x2122; S N E X T

The next borough meeting will be at 7 p.m. July 19, in the municipal building.

A better solution, McCormick said, would be for police to look for motorcycles with exhaust systems that may have not passed state vehicle inspections and those not displaying current registration stickers. Police Chief Charles Musial agreed. Last month, Weaver told council he had done some research and found Harley-Davidson, a popular motorcycle manufacturer, has a warning not to alter its bikesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exhaust systems due to potential inspection violations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This does not stop people from spending $1,000 to $1,600 for kits with the straight line exhaust systems,â&#x20AC;? he said. In other business, an amendment to the zoning ordinance was made to allow for the residential use of townhouses in a commercial district. When the zoning ordinance was updated about two years ago, this use was omitted.

And even as there will be dark days ahead in Afghanistan, the light of a secure peace can be seen in the distance. These long wars will come to a responsible end.” Obama said he will withdraw 10,000 troops by the end of this year, with another 23,000 out by September of next year — at the latest. Most will return to their home bases — the vast majority of those in the U.S. That would end the surge of 33,000 troops he announced in December 2009, and leave about 68,000 U.S. troops there. Obama will meet with NATO allies next May in Chicago to plot the final drawdown of those and other allied troops by 2014, when they hope Afghan forces

Newman said that without the county’s investment in facilities such as the arena, hosting a convention as large as the Jehovah’s Witnesses event would have been impossible. “What facilities like the arena allow us to do is to compete for and win conferences that are statewide and regional Mid-Atlantic; conferences that

we could never attract before, and that translates into economic impact,” he said. Andrews said the area’s amenities were what attracted the Jehovah’s Witnesses to the arena for their first local conference three years ago. “Wilkes-Barre works out to be an excellent place for us to have our conventions, with all the restaurants and places to stay,” he said.

KINGSTON – Once the highest point in the town, the steeple at St. Ignatius Church is being repaired. Built in 1885, the Roman Catholic Church at the corner of North Maple Avenue and Pringle Street is the house of worship to about 2,400 households. The Rev. John Lapera, pastor, said the steeple was S T. I G N AT I U S in need of repairs. BAZAAR “We’re When: Tonight, preserving Friday and Satit for the inurday, 6-11 p.m. tegrity of Where: St. Ann’s the church Chapel grounds, Loveland Ave. and structure Hoyt St., Kingston. and for a visProceeds: Will ible sign of help pay for the the church steeple repairs at in the comSt. Ignatius munity,” he Church. said. “It has been a part of Kingston’s skyline for a long time.” When the church was built about 126 years ago, the steeple towered over the West Side town. The top of the steeple – the spire – is adorned with a cross that stands 165 feet above ground. “The steeple evolved through history,” said Lapera, 55. “Earlier in history they were built to house bell towers, and the bells were rung to call people to worship for prayer services and Masses. The spires were built with a cross on top to give the presence of God in the community.” Lapera said the spire was repaired about 12 or 15 years ago. He said the area below the spire was not repaired and that is the focus of the current project. Walsh Sheet Metal Co., Scranton, is the contractor hired to repair the steeple at a cost of between $280,000 and $300,000, Lapera said. He said a large part of the cost was for the massive scaffolding system needed to do the job. Lapera said the project should take three or four months to complete and it should be finished by September or October. He said 75 percent of the money used to fix the steeple has been raised at the annual St. Ignatius

will be able to guard against any comeback by al-Qaida terrorists or the Taliban regime that had protected them. It’s possible to draw down the troops now, he said, because the long war and surge of extra forces has achieved its goal: denying a haven to the al-Qaida terror network, which used Afghanistan as its base while planning its 2001 attacks on the U.S. “We are starting this drawdown from a position of strength,” Obama said. “Al-Qaida is under more pressure than at any time since 9/11. Together with the Pakistanis, we have taken out more than half of al-Qaida’s leadership. And thanks to our intelligence professionals and Special Forces, we killed Osama bin Laden, the only leader that al-Qaida had ever known.” After weeks of internal debates, Obama settled on a middle-of-the-road approach between the military’s recommendations of a slower drawdown and the push for a faster withdrawal coming from members of both major political parties, including Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., a top member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Administration officials stressed that the 33,000 troops could be withdrawn even faster, but left no room for a slower withdrawal. lations Committee. “If the military leaders on the ground say that this is the right thing to do, then I will accept that,” he said. “But I don’t think that’s the case, especially after having spent time with the troops and military leadersjustafewmonthsago.Isaw the success our surge forces have made and the progress our troops have made in training the Afghan forces. But it will all be for naught if we pull out our troops prematurely.” Barletta said that, “Obviously, I’d like to see American troops come home. But the generals on the ground know more about the situation in Afghanistan than anyone in Washington.” In a statement after the speech, Barletta said that, “The president needs to listen to what they say theyneedintermsoftrooplevelsin order to do the job. I have faith in our commanders in Afghanistan, so if Gen.

County hotel tax revenues rose 9 percent between 2009 and 2010, and the bureau anticipates a gain of at least 5 percent this year as well.

Pa. GOP officials huddle on budget

Senate majority leader says handshake agreement is needed soon. By MARC LEVY Associated Press

HARRISBURG — Gov. Tom Corbett and top Republican state lawmakers closeted themselves in private meetings Wednesday in an attempt to sort out their remaining differences on a state budget ahead of the June 30 end of the state’s fiscal year. They gave little detail about what, if any, progress they made. Morning and evening meetings in the Republican governor’s offices broke up without negotiators announcing any agreement or revealing where their differences remain in a spending plan that is expected to tally about 3 percent less than this year’s budget and deliver deep cuts to spending on education. “I feel confident that we’ll have a budget done on time,” Corbett said after emerging from Wednesday evening’s hour-plus meeting. The meetings were held on the eve of what Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, said is the deadline to get a handshake agreement in time to write bills and hold votes to enact a budget before the new budget year starts July 1. After a Wednesday morning meeting, he warned that time was ticking down. “We reminded everyone that certainly, looking at the calendar, that the time for legislation is tightening, so it introduces a certain increased level of urgency,” Pileggi said. “Bills need to be drafted. They need to be moved. There needs to be floor action. There needs to be committee action. ... (A handshake agreement) really needs to happen by tomorrow.” Corbett and his fellow Republicans who control the Legislature have repeatedly said they are focused on producing a budget that spends less than this year’s, does not raise taxes and is signed before July 1. More talks were expected today. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, indicated differences remain in the amount of spending the parties — Senate leaders, House leaders and the governor — are discussing. In general, negotiations are said to revolve around the level of aid for public schools, universities, hospital care for the poor and social services. The spending package is expected to be $27.3 billion or less — this year’s budget is $28 billion — as Corbett insists on cuts in state government and no tax increases to balance a projected multibillion-dollar deficit driven by lackluster tax collections. Also, Corbett is pressing thusfar reluctant lawmakers to pass a school-vouchers bill by June 30, and Senate Republicans are pressing for passage of a levy on Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling, despite Corbett’s preference to wait until after his task force makes a recommendation, expected next month. In the eight years under Corbett’s predecessor, Democratic Gov. Ed Rendell, no budget was signed and completed before July 1.

Zola was charged in the December 2009 stabbing death of 35-year-old Rosemarie Cave. Prosecutors said Zola should receive the maximum sentence because of the nature of the crime and the impact it has on family members.

Zola is scheduled to be sentenced on the charge on July 6 by Judge Joseph Cosgrove.

Child porn guilty plea brings jail term Times Leader staff

SCRANTON – A former Hazle Township man received an eightyear federal prison sentence Wednesday for his guilty plea to receiving and distributing child pornography. Federal authorities said Leonard Schweitzer, 39, downloaded the pornography during November and December 2009. A federal grand jury indicted him in March 2010 and he later pleaded guilty. As part of the sentence, Senior

U.S. District Judge Richard P. Conaboy ordered that Schweitzer be placedonsupervisedreleaseforlife after his release from prison. The case was part of the Project Safe Childhood initiative begun in May 2006 by the U.S. Department of Justice. Federal, state and local agencies cooperate to prosecute people who exploit children through the use of the Internet. In addition, the agencies use their resources to identify and rescue victims.

POLICE BLOTTER WILKES-BARRE -- Two brothers were arraigned Wednesday in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on charges they stole a woman’s purse. John Hayden Calk, 36, and Jeremiah Corey Calk, 24, both of Pulaski Street, Edwardsville, were charged with robbery. John Calk was further charged with criminal conspiracy. They were jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $5,000 bail.

Tornado rips Kentucky Derby site By BRUCE SCHREINER Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The famed Churchill Downs horse race track, longtime home to the Kentucky Derby, was hit by a possible tornado Wednesday, knocking down parts of barns and chasing out horses that ran loose before being corralled, officials said. Hours after the storm hit, officials had no reports of injuries to humans or horses at the track on the southwestern side of Louisville. Elsewhere in the city, high

water from torrential rains trapped a couple of people in their cars, a mayor’s spokesman said, and a hospital reported that it treated two patients hit by falling trees. The National Weather Service said radar was tracking a confirmed tornado near the track and the University of Louisville campus about 8:10 p.m. Though no races are run on Wednesdays, a simulcast of races elsewhere was being shown in the theater, and a Texas Hold ’em poker tournament was being held, officials said. At least nine barns were damaged, as was the chapel. The barn damage was on the backside of the track where workers live in the dorms, said track President

Kevin Flanery. “It’s a hell of a mess back here,” track spokesman John Asher said of the barn area where the damage was concentrated. The iconic twin spires above the clubhouse overlooking the finish line were not apparently damaged, Flanery said. “Clearly we’ve got several barns with significant damage and we’re just trying to make sure people and the animals are safe first,” Flanery said. Some horses had gotten loose for a time, but were later caught, Asher said. At least 1,300 horses were stabled at Churchill, said vice president of racing Donnie Richardson.

OTHER OPINION: STATE BUDGET

Despite surplus, Corbett defiant

HE PRESSURE is on to enact a new state budget by July 1. But we think Gov. Tom Corbett should chill. On Monday he showed inflexibility toward differences with lawmakers and a deafness to concerns expressed by many Pennsylvanians. One involves the size of the budget, which Corbett insisted must be no more than $27.3 billion, the figure he proposed in March . Three months ago the state did not appear headed for a half-billion-dollar surplus, which it has accumulated. That surplus argues for easing up on deep spending cuts, which will hit education and medical programs particularly hard. But a week before the budget deadline, the governor is not governing based on current fiscal reality, but on inac-

curate financial projections that are months old. The other quasi-ultimatum issued by Corbett was for the Legislature to put off action on a new gas drilling fee until his Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission reports in July. Last time we checked, the commission didn’t have a vote on the state budget, so if the governor wants a 2011-12 spending plan on time, he should let the Legislature settle the question. While spending cuts were inevitable, Mr. Corbett’s insistence on sticking to his magic budget number, despite a $506 million windfall, and shielding the drilling industry from an impact fee does not bode well for the state. For such obstinacy in high office, Pennsylvanians will surely suffer. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

rallies at the site every Friday and Saturday since March 25. We are the ones who hear the comments of the people as they walk and drive by the building. An overwhelming majority wants to preserve the hotel. Their feedback is enthusiastic and encouraging; many people have offered ideas about how to save the Sterling. We have heard from several local construction companies who want to be involved, and some have offered to donate materials. The question most people ask is why wasn’t the structure sealed and secured years ago? We can’t undo what’s been done. The Stegmaier building was in hor-

rendous shape at one time and was brought back to reflect the gem that it is. This can happen to the Hotel Sterling. And, by the way, what a novel idea: a hotel on the river! No wonder it was built there in the first place! We appeal to the county commissioners: instead of allocating $1 million to obliterate a cornerstone of our city, why not allocate the money to seal the building? A public meeting should be organized by county officials so that the community’s voice can be heard. The voice of the people should be instrumental in deciding the fate of the Sterling. The hotel has looked out over the Susquehanna for many years and has served the people well. So, let us not rush to judgment. Let’s come together as a community and offer new dialogue and new viewpoints. Let’s not ruin another chance to restore a building that has been a part of people’s lives for more than a century.

site conditions included excavation work and utility line repairs or relocation that were necessary. “Scope changes would include additional concrete that was installed in the bus terminal area and a temporary road that was added to the project for Provincial Tower residents to have a route to their garage outside of the construction zone,” McLaughlin said. The CityVest statement read: “CityVest respectfully has a fundamental disagreement with the city’s recollection of the facts relating to the state funding in

the fall of 2009. “At that time, CityVest made a written submission to the state regarding the $3 million grant and consulted with state officials about progress with the project and imminent prospects of finding a developer. “Shortly after submitting that information to the state, CityVest signed a letter of intent with a developer who specifically identified the state funding as an important component to the project. “In early 2010, that developer informed CityVest of its intent not to pursue the Sterling and indicated the change in status of the (RACP) funding was a significant deterrent to pursue the project. “This is a site that needs coop-

eration and teamwork at all levels of government and the county has been a tremendous supporter of the project and we hope the city will become one as well.” Requests of CityVest officials to expand on the statement were declined. Susan Hooper, press secretary at the state Office of the Budget in Harrisburg, explained the sequence of events: • The $3 million in RACP funding was released on Aug. 31, 2004, by then-Gov. Ed Rendell. The RACP application was received in April 2005, and a grant agreement was executed in November 2005. The project did not materialize, and in November 2009, Leighton asked the governor to approve a transfer of the $3 million from the Hotel Sterling

project to the South Washington Street Intermodal Transportation Center. Gov. Rendell approved the reallocation, and the funding was incorporated into the Intermodal Transportation Center project via an amendment to its grant agreement in January 2010. Hooper explained that the term “released” means Rendell approved the use of RACP funds for the Sterling project. “It does not mean that the funds themselves were given to the applicant,” Hooper said. “The RACP program is a reimbursement program; grantees receive the funds incrementally as reimbursement as they incur and pay construction costs on their project. In other words, no RACP funds go to the grantee ahead of

Professor: Verdict supports accountability

A political scientist sees the Munchak and Cordaro trial decisions as good for area. By CHRISTOPHER J. HUGHES chughes@golackawanna.com

SCRANTON – The guilty verdict on public corruption charges against resigned Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak and former Commissioner Robert Cordaro shows that public officials will be held accountable for their actions in office. That can mean good things for residents of Lackawanna County, along with some potential changes to the political scene, according to Keystone College associate professor of political science Jeff Brauer, of Dalton. “In order for democracy to work, you need to have a system in place to make sure that these elected officials are held accountable, and we do have a lot of those checks in places. This is one great example of it,” Brauer said Wednesday, one day after Cordaro was convicted of 18 counts including extortion and racketeering and Munchak was found guilty of eight counts including tax fraud and bribery. “It definitely makes public officials who are in office much more careful about what they do,” he added. Changes predicted After Tuesday’s verdict, Brauer believes more women will seek elected office and find success in the political arena. He cited the near political upset of Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O’Brien by candidate Elizabeth Randol in the May 2011 primary election as a key example. “Women are seen as not being part of the old boys’ network. … They’re going to become strong candidates in Northeastern Pennsylvania.”

bribery, extortion, conspiracy to commit extortion and tax evasion, but he was found not guilty of racketeering and racketeering conspiracy. He did not face money laundering charges. Part of the government’s racketeering case against the men centered on them using the commissioners’ office as an enterprise for personal gain through racketeering activities, which included extortion and bribery. So how could Cordaro be convicted on racketeering conspiracy if Munchak didn’t conspire

Robert Cordaro, left, was found guilty on corruption charges Tuesday. Defense attorney William Costopoulos discusses the case.

It may also have implications on the form of county government Lackawanna County uses. While the commissioner style of government is typical in about half of the counties across the nation, according to Brauer, it is also “probably the most prone to be corrupt than any other type of government in the United States.” That’s because of the lack of separation between the executive and legislative branches of government. “A lot of this stuff would have never happened if you had a separate legislative branch versus an executive branch,” he said. In Luzerne County, a home rule transition committee is working to complete its recommendations on a new form of government that will see 11 county council members elected in November. Voters opted for the change after a number of public corruption cases in the ongoing federal investigation. “Being our neighboring county, we’re definitely going to watch and see what happens and see if they can clean up some of the mess down there,” Brauer said.

Knowing the players Brauer said his classes on state and local government have played host to a variety of elected officials over the years. “Cordaro has come to my class a million times,” he said. “I’ve known these guys for years.” Having worked with Cordaro to illustrate government at work, Brauer was surprised when charges were first levied against the former Republican majority leader in March 2010. But Brauer also knows a key member of the prosecution team that worked to prove Cordaro and Munchak’s guilt in accepting bribes and kickbacks in a pay-toplay scheme involving county contracts. He was an intern with Assistant U.S. Attorney Lorna Graham while he studied pre-law at The University of Scranton before turning to political science. “She was very professional and a very strong woman. She was very much all business,” Brauer said. He said U.S. attorneys have numerous resources and a light caseload that allows them to

with him? One of the principal attorneys in the case and the U.S. Attorney’s Office as well as some former U.S. attorneys weighed in with their opinions. Peter Vaira, a Philadelphia attorney who formerly served as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, noted that while the verdicts appear incongruous, courts of appeal have overlooked inconsistent verdicts if judges decide that a jury employed “lenity” or leniency toward a defendant in their decision. “But if it’s so complex and goes to the integrity of the verdict, that could cause the verdict to be tossed,” Vaira said. David Debold, a Washington,

D.C., attorney who specializes in federal criminal law defense and a former federal prosecutor, said it’s possible that the jury decided Cordaro and Munchak did not conspire with each other on racketeering charges, but rather that Cordaro conspired with an unindicted co-conspirator. Heidi Havens, spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, pointed out in an emailed response that the indictment charged that the men “conspired with each other AND others both known and unknown to the grand jury.” One of the “other” conspirators could have been Scranton funeral director Al Hughes, whom the jury believed passed

prosecute each trial effectively. Brauer said he was surprised that jurors didn’t put more weight into cases built by defense attorneys William Costopoulos, representing Cordaro, and Chris Powell, defending Munchak. “I think the defense did a good job in this case. I’m not surprised with the verdict and how split it was. I’m surprised that they were convicted of as many charges that they were,” Brauer said. A strong case on behalf of the convicted commissioners may have been overshadowed by a need for accountability, though. “Juries at this point and time, especially in this atmosphere at this time in Northeastern Pennsylvania, might be out to get any public official that is seen as corrupt. I think the charges were trumped up, and I think the convictions were trumped up based on that,” Brauer said. Looking ahead While the guilty verdict brings a close to one chapter of Lackawanna County’s past, despite appeals promised by the defense, Brauer said it will continue to impact politics in ways many may not see. “All elected officials are going to be extremely paranoid about what they do and what they’ve done and what they’re going to do in the future,” Brauer said. Even O’Brien, Brauer said, has stepped cautiously when making decisions from his seat on the sixth floor of the county administration building while touting an agenda of reform, honorable government and wise spending. “I’ve worked with Corey O’Brien quite a bit, and I know over the last couple of years he’s been paranoid about anything he does to make sure that he can never be brought up on any similar type of charges,” he said. along bribes from former Acker Associates official P.J. McLaine to Cordaro. However, the prosecution presented no evidence that anyone acted as an intermediary for bribes that Munchak received. Chris Powell, Munchak’s attorney, agreed the jury could have perceived Hughes as a coconspirator, and he also presented a different perspective on the racketeering charges against Munchak. According to the law, the jury would have to find that Munchak committed “two independent predicated acts to be convicted of racketeering.” However, the jury found Munchak guilty only of accepting bribes from Don Kalina, of

THE TIMES LEADER time.” Later Wednesday, McLaughlin sent an updated statement from the city regarding the RACP funding. “There were outstanding conditions that had not been met and the state intended to relocate the $3 million RACP funds to another community,” McLaughlin said. “The city’s decision, with state approval, to re-program the money was driven by the current status, at that time, of the Hotel Sterling development, not the construction of the Intermodal, and primarily, the state’s intent to redirect millions of dollars of development funds out of the city.” Luzerne County has a claim on the property because it loaned CityVest $6 million in community development funding to ac-

on Tuesday. The letter, dated June 22, said his resignation would be effective at midnight Wednesday. The Lackawanna County Home Rule Charter states that “any elected officer shall forfeit their office… upon conviction in a court of record of competent jurisdiction of any criminal offense where the maximum sentence shall be 5 years imprisonment or more.” At a maximum, Munchak faces up to 93 years in prison and $2 million in fines for his crimes. Although his legal team is considering an appeal, “it is in the best interests of the taxpayers that I take this action immediately,” Munchak wrote. “The jury’s verdicts begin to bring closure to a difficult period in the history of Lackawanna County government,” O’Brien said. “The actions described in this trial were our county’s past. They are not our county’s present, and they will not define our county’s future. “The good old days are over, and anyone wishing to bring those days back will be thwarted at every turn.” Washo said Tuesday was a “miserable evening” and that citizens are tired of good intentions without actions to support them. “Cleaning up pigeon dung is not a professional service. I said that from that seat over there at least 30 times over a two-year period,” Washo said, referring to the lucrative contract Munchak and former Commissioner Robert Cordaro gave to Alicon Environmental for the cleanup of such waste from the rafters of the Lackawanna County Courthouse. Cordaro was convicted of bribery, extortion, racketeering and more among a total of 18 Highland Associates. They found him not guilty of extorting money from Lou Costanzo, principal of L.R. Costanzo, Powell said. Powell noted the prosecution didn’t list a charge that Munchak accepted $500 for a seat on the Lackawanna County MultiPurpose Stadium Authority from John Grow, known in radio advertisements as “the guy from Gibbons (Ford),” on the verdict sheets. “I’d like to think they removed him after we proved it was ridiculous,” he said. Powell said one of Munchak’s bases for appeal is that Judge A. Richard Caputo erred in denying his motion for a separate trial for his client. “There were a lot of accusa-

quire and preserve the building. That money is gone and was largely spent to make the parcel larger and demolish a 14-story high-rise and connector building at the rear of the 113-year-old hotel. CityVest officials have asked the county to take over the project and determine whether the structure will be fully or partially saved or demolished. All three commissioners have said CityVest should make the call to tear down the structure and find the money to pay for demolition, though they may assist in obtaining a $1 million U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development demolition grant.

counts on Tuesday. “I’m not here to say ‘I told you so,’ but I’m here to say that we knew some of these things well in advance of the horrific, horrific borrowings in order to fund those matters.” According to the home rule charter, “the executive committee of the political party of the person elected to the office in question shall submit a list of three persons to the judges of the court en banc within five days of the vacancy. The court shall appoint one of the three persons recommended to temporarily fill the vacancy.” Lackawanna County Republican Party Chairman Lance Stange Jr. said that five minutes after the verdict was handed down his phone rang consistently for “about three or four hours.” Stange said the GOP is accepting letters of intent and phone calls from interested party members who wish to be interviewed for a nomination to the seat. Party members can email their letter to lackawannagop@gmail.com or call (570) 346-7729. The party will then conduct interviews with candidates from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ramada Clarks Summit Hotel, 820 Northern Blvd., South Abington Township, on Saturday in order to select the top three individuals. Stange said he does not believe the conviction of the first Republican majority commissioners in nearly 20 years will affect the outcome of the November general election. “The Republican Party is against corruption,” Stange said. “I think it’s unfair to paint everyone with a broad brush based on the actions of two individuals out of the 213,000 people in Lackawanna County. “I don’t believe it’s a problem with a particular political party. It’s a problem of power. For too long, too much power has been placed in the hands of too few people.” tions against Cordaro that didn’t have any implications on Munchak. Even though it would have cost more money, I think it would have been more just to have separate trials,” Powell said. He said he will file standard post-trial motions that will include a request for a new trial as well as a judgment not withstanding the jury verdict. The 30-day clock to file an appeal to a higher court starts ticking after the defendants’ sentencing, which is scheduled for Sept. 28. Cordaro’s attorney, William Costopolous, said on Tuesday that Cordaro also planned to appeal. He did not return a call for this story.

Five-time champion survives big scare By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Time and again after losing a point, Venus Williams rolled her eyes, slumped her shoulders and let out a shriek of dismay that echoed through Centre Court, reverberating off its roof. Facing the most, uh, experienced woman in the Wimbledon field — 40year-old Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan — Williams was mired in a three-set struggle that lasted nearly three hours Wednesday, a tight, high-quality contest brimming with the sort of at-thenet, classic grass-court play seen so

rarely nowadays. “She doesn’t play anywhere near her age,” Williams said. In the end, Williams, a five-time champion at the All England Club, mustered every bit of her competitive drive and considerable talent to pull out a 6-7 (6), 6-3, 8-6 comeback victory over Date-Krumm and reach the third round. “She played unbelievable today. I thought she had some luck on her side, too, with net cords, balls hitting lines. I just thought today was a perfect storm for her to try to get a win,” said Williams, who again wore her decidedly

original lace romper, featuring draped sleeves, deep “V” neckline, gold belt and gold zipper. “Thankfully,” Williams added, “I had some answers.” None more effective than her serve, in the late-going, anyway. That stroke delivered 12 aces, helped Williams escape several jams and was clocked at 120 mph even in her final service game. Contrast that with Date-Krumm’s serves, mostly about 80 mph. One was 65 mph. Date-Krumm, who reached the See VENUS, Page 5B

That stat includes nine hits for the Yankees on Wednesday night, but they still fell to Norfolk 5-3. The offense hasn’t scored more than five runs and the Yanks haven’t won at

W-B Triathlon needs people to follow lead

to the fact that many of the team’s top hitters are injured or in the majors. The disabled list includes Jorge Vazquez, who leads the International League in home runs, and Justin Maxwell, who is second in the league in homers. Chris Dickerson, who started the season in the SWB outfield, is now a TIDES YANKEES backup outfielder for New York. Manager Dave Miley even shook up home since a 10-run outburst on June 9 the lineup a little on Wednesday to try to against Charlotte. SWB is 2-5 on the cur- get more support with Jordan Parrent homestand. A lot of the offensive troubles are due See YANKEES, Page 3B

Looking Ahead Next Game: 1:05 p.m. today vs. Norfolk at PNC Field Probable Pitchers: Tides RHP Chris Tillman (1-1, 3.32) vs. Yankees LHP Greg Smith (1-0, 0.00) On Deck: The Yankees begin an 11-game, 10-day, three-city road trip on Friday when they travel to face Hazleton Area grad Russ Canzler and the Durham Bulls for four games.

t has not only survived but thrived for 30 years running now. The Wilkes-Barre Triathlon always runs smoothly because of goodhearted volunteers who typically reflect the spirit of race director Joanne Gensel. But those people who made the annual event special for 30 years aren’t going to be doing it forever. And if the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon is going to keep running for the next 30 years, it’s going to was built on consistency and longevity. And the people who made it the special event it has grown into aren’t going to be at the job forever. It’s going to take new blood to keep the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon flowing. That’s what John and Tracey McGurk figured when they signed on to help run the show. The husband and wife duo who reside in Dallas had done this triathlon deal from the field. John joined the Wilkes-Barre fray of triathletes in 1988 and captured the men’s amateur field in 1996. Tracey not only won, she kept winning. Back when she was still known by her maiden name of Tracey Polliard, she captured the amateur women’s portion of the race three straight times in the mid-90s, when pros were still storming the Back Mountain and using Wilkes-Barre as a USTA qualifying and championship race. Now, both of them are more interested in helping to run it rather than actually running in it. “I wanted to be involved. It was a logical progression,” John McGurk said. It was more of an evolution that sent his wife to the other side of hillsides. “When I was pregnant with my first child, I volunteered that year,” Tracey said. “I started getting involved with the kids’ race.” They’re still caught up in the excitement of the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon, just from a different perspective now. John McGurk serves as a swim course coordinator and Tracey is the triathlon’s future triathletes run coordinator. But it’s going to take more like them to keep the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon running through three more decades. “It wouldn’t be the 30th without the community,” Gensel said. The work is never easy, and the job sometimes seems thankless. “As much as I have my trying times,” said Gensel, whose been directing the race for more than 20 years and threatened to retire from the post after nearly as many of those summers, “there’s always a solution to the problem. It’s just a matter of finding it.” The McGurks found the whole process of performing as a triathlon volunteer simply amazing. “You see a side of it you probably don’t appreciate as an athlete,” John McGurk said. Are we seeing the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon’s future? The McGurks hope they’ll inspire more triathletes who may not have the time to train as participants but don’t feel it’s time to leave the sport behind. But it takes a big commitment to help run a big event such as the WilkesBarre Triathlon. “Local athletes want to be involved,” Gensel said. “The problem is they want to race.” There will come a time when they won’t. And that’s when it’d be neat to see former competitors follow the example set by the McGurks and remain involved as volunteers. Once they are finished running the race, it’s time for today’s triathletes to help keep it running.

Former Wilkes star gets Redeemer post By VAN ROSE vrose@timesleader.com

Former Wilkes University standout Chris Parker has been named the new Holy Redeemer girls basketball coach. He replaces former coach Rich Nemetz, who stepped down in April to pursue other interests. Parker played at Wilkes from 1993-1996, A shooting guard, Parker led the Colonels to a 28-2 record during his senior year. For the past two years, Parker served as the girls basketball coach at GAR. The Grenadiers finished with a 4-10 record last season. “I’m just excited to have the opportunity to coach one of the premier girls basketball programs in the area,” said Parker, 38. “I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for some time. I’m extremely happy.” Holy Redeemer captured the Wyoming Valley Conference Division II championship last season and advanced to the PIAA Class 3A state tournament. The Royals lost to eventual state champion Archbishop Wood in second-round play.

Parker said he’s well aware of his responsibility to keep Holy Redeemer’s winning tradition intact. “Redeemer has won two championships back-to-back, so I’m looking forward to the challenge. The players will have an opportunity to keep it going.” The Royals lost four starters from last season’s team, including leading scorer Olivia Francisco. However, senior guard Julia Wignot returns as will 5-foot-11 junior center Sydney Myers, who is expected to be one of the premier players in the Wyoming Valley Conference. Parker expects big things from Myers. “She’s extremely physical and aggressive. Anytime you have a player who gets most of her shots from two or three feet from the basket, you have something special.” Parker had his first team meeting Wednesday and it afforded him a chance to get acclimated to the players. “It’s going to be a challenge, but I’m up to it.”

MAJOR LEAGUE ROUNDUP

Lee hurls gem as Phillies win The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Cliff Lee threw a six-hitter for his second straight shutout and the Philadelphia Phillies got homers from Jimmy Rollins and Ryan Howard in the fourth inning of a 4-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night. The Cardinals have totaled two runs on 11 hits in their first two games without injured Albert Pujols, expected to miss six weeks with a fractured left wrist. It didn’t help that they’ve faced two of the game’s best, with Roy Halladay giving up four hits in six innings on Tuesday. Yankees 4, Reds 2 Reds 10, Yankees 2

CINCINNATI — Leadoff hitter Chris Heisey homered three times, getting Cincinnati’s slumping lineup going, and Johnny Cueto allowed only two hits in seven innings, leading the Reds to a win and a doubleheader split with the New York Yankees. In the opener, Jorge Posada ended the second-longest homer drought of his career with a two-run shot, sending the Yankees to a 4-2 win. Heisey started the second game with his first career leadoff homer. He also had two-run shots off Brian Gordon (0-1) and Hector Noesi in his first multihomer game. Padres 5, Red Sox 1

BOSTON — Will Venable hit a leadoff home run and Clayton Richard some support for a change, lifting the San Diego Padres over the Boston Red Sox in a game delayed by rain four times before it was called after 71⁄2 innings. It was the second straight win for San Diego after a season-worst six-game losing streak. The Padres finished their road trip at 3-6. Rays 6, Brewers 3

MILWAUKEE — Kelly Shoppach hit a two-run home run in the second and Elliot Johnson added a three-run shot in the seventh. Rays starter David Price (8-6) struck out 10 in eight innings, giving up two runs, five hits and a walk. Price threw 120 pitches and still was hitting 96 mph on Miller Park’s radar gun in the eighth. B.J. Upton’s RBI single gave Tampa Bay the lead in the sixth inning. Braves 5, Blue Jays 1

ATLANTA — Brandon Beachy had a career-high 11 strikeouts in his return from the disabled list, Dan Uggla and Brian McCann hit two-run homers, and Atlanta completed a sweep of Toronto. Beachy had been on the disabled list since May 14 with a strained left oblique. After one rehab appearance in the minors, the rookie right-hander returned to the Braves with a flourish, eclipsing his previous best of nine strikeouts in two other starts. He had the Blue Jays completely baffled over his sixinning stint, getting all but one of his Ks on swinging strikes. Toronto managed just four hits off Beachy (2-1), including a third-inning homer by Jose Bautista. Tigers 7, Dodgers 5

LOS ANGELES — Casper Wells opened the game with one of four home runs by De-

YANKEES Continued from Page 1B

raz hitting third, Greg Golson sixth and Kevin Russo seventh. “Hits haven’t come in an overabundance for us so we tried to mix it up and get some runs across the board,” Miley said. A bright spot for the Yankees was that the bullpen continued to post solid numbers. Eric Wordekemper and Josh

troit and defensive replacement Austin Jackson made an over-the-shoulder catch on Dioner Navarro’s bases-loaded drive for the final out. Miguel Cabrera and Magglio Ordonez also homered. So did Don Kelly, who connected as a pinch-hitter for Ordonez in the eighth inning. Jose Valverde struck out pinch-hitter Casey Blake and retired Navarro on the fly ball for his 17th straight save. Pirates 5, Orioles 4

PITTSBURGH — The Orioles’ Blake Davis made an error in his major league debut, allowing Pittsburgh to score the tying and go-ahead runs. Josh Harrison’s ground ball to second with two outs and runners on second and third in the fifth went through Davis’ legs, and Brandon Wood and Michael McKenry scored on the error. Indians 4, Rockies 3

CLEVELAND — Josh Tomlin came through with another quality outing and designated hitter Travis Hafner hit a tworun homer in his last start for a while, leading Cleveland to a win over the Colorado Rockies before the Indians leave for three NL cities. Tomlin (9-4) allowed three runs and five hits in 6 1-3 innings. He has gone at least six innings in 14 of 15 starts, and a minimum of five in all 27 as a major leaguer. Nationals 2, Mariners 1

WASHINGTON — The Washington Nationals found yet another novel way to keep their winning ways going, beating the Seattle Mariners with a pair of unearned runs off Erik Bedard. The Nationals scored in the first and fourth with the help of errors against the game’s top interleague pitcher to win for the 10th time in 11 games. Just 24 hours earlier, they opened the series by overcoming a 5-1 ninth-inning deficit capped by Wilson Ramos’ improbable walk-off homer. Angels 6, Marlins 5

MIAMI — Mark Trumbo hit a two-out RBI single in the 10th inning, and an uncharacteristic succession of clutch hits helped the Los Angeles Angels beat the Florida Marlins. The Angels went 5 for 14 with runners in scoring position after going 2 for 26 in those situations in the first two games of the series. Diamondbacks 3, Royals 2

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ian Kennedy pitched six strong innings and Xavier Nady hit an RBI double, helping the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Kansas City Royals. Astros 5, Rangers 3

ARLINGTON, Texas — Matt Downs had a pinch-hit, tworun homer in the ninth when the Houston Astros scored four times off Texas Rangers closer Neftali Feliz for a victory. White Sox 4, Cubs 3

CHICAGO — Jake Peavy returned from the disabled list to get the victory, A.J. Pierzynski had a two-run triple and the Chicago White Sox beat the Cubs 4-3 on Wednesday night to win two of three in their first series this season. Schmidt combined to throw three scoreless innings. In its last nine games, the pen has only given up two runs in 282⁄3 innings. A problem was that starter D.J. Mitchell (4-7) allowed five runs on nine hits in six innings. Mitchell wasn’t hit hard, but got in the most trouble in the sixth when he gave up three runs after a bunt was popped up and he appeared to catch it. But he slipped and the ball fell. The Tides went on to push their lead

Laird (3-for-4, 3 RBI) came through again in the sixth.

The Yankees also had an opportunity in the eighth after Jesus Montero and Laird punched back-to-back, two-out singles to center field. Golson then knocked a hit to right. But Montero tried to score and was nailed at the plate by right fielder Tyler Henson to end the inning.

WB Triathlon steeped in tradition By MATTHEW SHUTT For The Times Leader

SHAVERTOWN – For the past 30 years the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon has seen athletes swim through Harveys Lake, navigate the thin wheels of racing bikes in and out of sections of almost the entire back mountain region and finally race six miles on foot to the finish line, found for the past 10 years in the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus. The Triathlon has welcomed competitors from both its backyard and as far away as Australia, along the way testing the likes of Paula Newby-Fraser, an eighttime Hawaii Ironman Champion, Hunter Kemper, the top U.S. Men’s qualifier in the 2000 Olympics, and, in 1988, an asyet-unproven young man by the name of Lance Armstrong.

shortage of people who want to come out and help all weekend long.” This year’s race will offer no shortage of time or location for all those interested to come out and either volunteer or see for their selves what a triathlon is all about. Registration entries are still currently being accepted and will be until August 10. Then, starting on Saturday, August 13, there will be a future triathletes run for athletes up to the age of 13. All those participating will come together for a meeting in the Athletics and Recreation building on Penn State WilkesBarre’s campus and the course will be finalized for the following day’s main event, set to begin at 5:30 a.m. with athlete check ins and to run until any-

But though the Wilkes-Barre Triathlon certainly is a draw for triathletes local and otherwise, and while the course can be just as challenging as any other, it’s not just the competitive side of the contest that keeps both entrants and organizers coming back year after year, always looking forward to the next one. “No matter what, I can find volunteers who will pitch in or local business who will lend support and it’s great to see that,” said race director Joanne Gensel, echoing a statement expressed by others at a gathering of supporters held Wednesday night by the race committee. “That means the people around here are supporting the event, which is fantastic because we’re basically a committee of volunteers and every year there’s no

time around one in the afternoon, give or take the number of competitors. And while the race itself typically runs from 7:30 a.m. until roughly 1 p.m., give or take the number of entrants, last year’s event needed a 40-member committee plus members of the surrounding community’s Fire, Police and Ambulance squads to set up the course, maintain it during the day and take it down once the day’s event is complete. “Whatever the race committee needs from someone, we all just jump into it,” said Tom Wilkie, a former race director and now self-proclaimed “jack of all trades”. “It’s a good, tight-knit group that just backs each other up the whole time. It’s one of – if not the – biggest reason why I come back every year.”

Fox Hill ready for 65th annual Allan tourney EXETER – While the country was recovering from the worst economic period in its history, Fox Hill Country Club President John Allan shouldered the major financial burden of supporting his country club in the aftermath of the Great Depression. Nearly 75 years after he held his position from 1935-37, Fox Hill continues to honor Allan with its most coveted event. More than 100 teams will compete in the 65th annual John A. Allan Tournament, which begins with a better-ball stroke play format at 7 a.m. Friday. The twomember teams will be vying for one of the spots in the 16-team championship flight held Satur-

day and Sunday. “This is (our) biggest tournament of the year, every year,” said Fox Hill’s head golf pro Frances Hayes. Hayes and his staff has had their hands full this week in keeping the par-71, 6,558-yard course well maintained for the 208 golfers. “About 80 hours of work this week,” he said. “A lot of work goes into it for me and my staff.” Last year’s championship duo of Brian Corbett and Bob Gill, who have won the tournament three times, bested the team of Don Crossin and Bill Briggs – four-time winners since 2002. The final round turned into a 21-hole match, thanks to three

dential. Both sides seemed optimistic about reaching an agreement after owners were briefed on a new CBA that would net the players just under 50 percent of total revenues. An NFL-imposed lockout has been in place since March 12. Training camps are scheduled to open in late July. The owners spent five hours

explain why my shoulder was beat up, too.” Roddick skipped the French Open because his right shoulder was bothering him. “If you change something, are hitting something different than a way you have before, even without knowing, sometimes you have to go back to basics. I never had to do that on my serve before,” said Roddick, who plays 44th-ranked Feliciano Lopez of Spain next. “But is that all it was? I don’t know. But I feel good with where it’s at right now.” BOGOMOLOV KEEPS GOING: Never before in Wimbledon’s main draw, Alex Bogomolov Jr. is now in the third round. “I think maturity-wise, some people just peak at later times in their careers,” the 28-year-old American said Wednesday after beating 25th-seeded Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina 6-0, 6-3, 6-4. “I always had the faith that I would accomplish some things that I always dreamed about. I’m just so blessed it’s here, and I’m taking every opportunity I have.” Bogomolov, 1-10 at the other Grand Slam tournaments, admitted some key events probably were factors in his lack of success on court in the past: his marriage to, and divorce from, tennis play-

er Ashley Harkleroad; his month-and-a-half suspension in 2005 for failing to file paperwork for his asthma inhalator, which no longer is a banned substance; and left wrist surgery in 2008. He and his longtime girlfriend, Luana, have an 18-monthold son. They’re in the process of moving from New Jersey to Florida, where he grew up after moving from Russia at age 11. “I feel like tennis-wise everything is coming together at the right time,” Bogomolov said. “Personal-wise, I’m happy. It

took me a while to get over things that happened. But now I have a clear mind and it’s all about my tennis.” Bogomolov feels the turning point came this year when he beat Andy Murray in the second round at Key Biscayne, Fla. Heading into Wimbledon, he reached the quarterfinals at the grass-court tuneup tournament at Den Bosch, Netherlands. His next challenge at Wimbledon will be far tougher: 2010 runner-up Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic.

Tuesday listening to updates on various CBA issues. Afterward, the league’s chief negotiator Jeff Pash said “we’re eager to accelerate the pace of the negotiations.” “We have a lot of work to do and we’ve got to do it right,” Goodell added. “The agreement has to focus on several issues and the issues are complex. It must be done in a way that is fair to the players and a way that is fair to the clubs.” One person told the AP that the players’ share would approach the 50 percent the NFLPA has said it has received throughout the last decade. But the expense credits

— about $1billion last year — that the league takes off the top would disappear. Also, there would no longer be “designated revenues” from which the players would share, the person said. Instead, the players would share from the entire pie, which they project will grow significantly over the course of the new CBA, which is expected to run anywhere from six to10 years. So if they are taking 48 percent or more of a much higher revenue stream — without the initial NFL deduction for operating expenses — the players still would receive

far more money than they got under the previous agreement. A salary floor keeping teams within 90 percent of the cap also would be included. The players have been concerned that some teams whose revenue streams don’t match up with the richer clubs would try to hold down salary spending.

States 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, compiling 38 winners and only seven unforced errors. In the third round, Nadal will face Gilles Muller of Luxembourg — the only man other than Roger Federer to beat him at Wimbledon in the past six years. Since losing to Muller in the second round in 2005, Nadal is 28-2 at the All England Club; that includes defeats against Federer in the 2006 and 2007 finals, titles in 2008 and 2010, and missing the 2009 tournament with bad knees. “Will be a big, big test for me,” Nadal said. Roddick’s strong serve was clicking again in a 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 victory over Victor Hanescu of Romania. The No. 8-seeded American hit 15 aces, saved the only break point he faced and limited his unforced errors to six — all with a special pair of fans sitting at Centre Court: his parents. “This is the first time they’ve seen me play here. ... I think today was the first time they ever sat in a box in my entire career,” said Roddick, who won the 2003 U.S. Open. “They picked a good court to debut that on. I think they’re having fun.” Other winners included No. 4 Andy Murray, No. 9 Gael Monfils and 72nd-ranked Alex Bogomolov Jr. of the United States, who reached the third round in his first trip to Wimbledon by knocking off No. 25 Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina 6-0, 6-3, 6-4.

When Mattek-Sands arrived at the court, she noticed a tour official scrutinizing her getup. So Mattek-Sands made clear her unusual accessory would be removed before warmup time. “I’m not hitting any balls in it,” Mattek-Sands said. “Don’t worry.”

Wimbledon semifinals in 1996, quit tennis later that year, then came out of retirement in 2008, marveled at Williams’ serve afterward, saying: “Not only speed — it’s on the corner. So it was very, very difficult to break her.” Not at the outset, actually. Date-Krumm won 13 of the first 16 points Williams served, breaking three times en route to a 5-1 lead. The 23rd-seeded Williams turned things around, taking five consecutive games to go ahead 6-5. Williams then wasted a set point, and Date-Krumm eventually won the tiebreaker. In the second and third sets, though, Williams played much more cleanly, and she wound up winning by breaking in the final game. It was hardly easy. “Venus came out slow, and that girl took off like a brand new motor,” said Williams’ father and coach, Richard. His daughter missed time with a bum hip and is playing only her fourth tournament since Wimbledon in 2010. On Tuesday, his other daughter, Serena, needed three sets to win, too. After ambling out of Centre Court this time, Dad tapped his umbrella’s wooden handle on his chest and said, referring to those matches: “They’re tough on the heart. The heart’s not as young as it once was.” He wasn’t the only one toting an umbrella around the grounds Wednesday, when rain prevented any action until after 3 p.m., other than under the retractable roof at the main stadium. After Williams managed to sneak through, fans with Centre Court tickets had a chance to see easy wins for two-time champion Rafael Nadal, then three-time runner-up Andy Roddick.

WIMBLEDON, England — Andy Roddick is holding his racket a new way on his serve — and he had some new guests in his Centre Court box Wednesday. “Just a slight little grip change,” the eighth-seeded Roddick explained after beating Victor Hanescu of Romania 6-4, 6-3, 6-4 to reach the third round at Wimbledon. “I was having to kind of force my serve a little bit. Went home with a shoulder injury, came back, and kind of fiddled a little bit.” It’s certainly working. The 2003 U.S. Open champion has 45 aces through two matches this year at the All England Club, where he’s been the runner-up three times. Roddick saved the only break point he faced and finished with six unforced errors. All with his parents watching from up-close. “This is the first time they’ve seen me play here,” the 28-yearold American said. “I think today was the first time they ever sat in a box in my entire career. They picked a good court to debut that on. I think they’re having fun.” His serve, he said, is “back to where it was as, opposed to me changing anything I’ve done for a decade. That would probably

Travelers Championship kind to young golfers Three of last five tournament titles went to initial winners, including Watson and Mahan. By PAT EATON-ROBB Associated Press

CROMWELL, Conn. — Bubba Watson won his first PGA Tour event at last year’s Travelers Championship, becoming the third golfer in five seasons to break through at the Connecticut event. J.J. Henry, a Connecticut native, won in 2006 and Hunter Mahan took the first of his three career PGA Tour wins on the course in 2007. Mahan said he doesn’t think that’s just coincidence. The tournament starting today, a week after the U.S. Open, sets up well for more inexperienced golfers. “This is an opportunity for a lot of young guys to play well, like me and J.J. and Bubba,” he said. “You’re going to make a lot of birdies out here. It’s not like an Augusta-type golf course where you have to learn it over time. You can come out here right off the get-go and play well.” It also doesn’t hurt that the Travelers comes when many of

the top players are home resting, and others aren’t mentally at the top of their game. “There is such a buildup to (the Open) like no other tournament has, so the week after that you kind of get a bit flat in the middle of the week,” said Geoff Ogilvy, who will be playing the TPC River Highlands for the first time in 10 years. “You really want to be intense, but it’s hard.” Watson acknowledged that gave him an advantage last year, when he came into Connecticut after missing the Open. “I got here mad that I wasn’t in the Open and then I somehow won,” he said. “So yeah, that might have some effect on it that you’re energized and you’re ready to go and you’re mad that you weren’t in a major, so now you’re ready to go at the Travelers.” Watson overcame a six-stroke deficit during the final round to force a playoff with Corey Pavin

Woods to miss next week’s AT&T National ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiger Woods will miss another golf tournament as his left leg recovers from injuries. Woods said on his Twitter feed that he will not be playing in next week’s AT&T National outside Philadelphia. The tournament supports Woods’ foundation. Woods tweeted: “doctor’s orders.” He says he will be at the tournament to support the event, and that he’s feeling stronger but not ready to Woods get back to golf. Woods now has missed three straight tournaments he usually plays since withdrawing after nine holes at last month’s Players Championship. The British Open starts July 14, and there was no mention by Woods on his status for the next major.

and Scott Verplank and won on the second playoff hole. Watson is hoping to become the first back-to-back champion in Connecticut since Phil Mickelson won in 2001 and 2002. Since that victory, Watson has won twice more: at Torrey Pines in January, and at the Zurich Classic in April. He is second in the FedEx cup standings, and credits his recent success to the confidence that came with winning in Connecticut. “It showed me that I can play the game of golf,” he said. “It showed me that by winning here I can play with the guys. I belonged out here, I guess. It just gave me confidence, going

forward the rest of my career, no matter how long or how short.” Mickelson isn’t here this year, nor is U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy or the injured Tiger Woods, who has never played in the tournament. But tournament director Nathan Grube said the field includes Padraig Harrington, Zach Johnson, Anthony Kim and Rickie Fowler. “There’s nothing like accomplishing a big goal, and that’s the goal of every PGA Tour player is to win, especially when you’re just coming out of college or the Nationwide Tour,” Mahan said. “There is no better feeling.”

Kerr seeks to defend LPGA tourney crown The Associated Press

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Cristie Kerr’s dream turned into reality last year, winning the LPGA Championship in near-record fashion. She’s ready to see if her sweet swing can do it again. “In so many ways, it was a perfect tournament,” Kerr said of her magnificent performance last June at Locust Hill Country Club. “I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to top that, but I’ll try. You’ve got to try.” On a course that had been lengthened and narrowed to make it worthy of a major championship, Kerr was the leader after every round and shot 19-under 269 to match the lowest score in relation to par in a women’s major. Kerr, the 2007 U.S. Women’s Open champion, closed with a 6under 66, giving her a 12-shot margin of victory over Song-Hee Kim, tied for the second-largest in the history of major championships. “I had imagined it,” Kerr said. “We all saw Tiger Woods win by 15 at Pebble Beach. I watched

that and said, ’Well, why not?’ You always think about it, but that and imagining it would happen are probably two different things, but you always kind of wish for it. I guess I wished for it because it happened.” Today, she begins the quest to make it happen again. “I would like to defend,” Kerr said. “That’s a fun goal to be able to go and try and accomplish. I’m going to try and follow what I did last year, not put pressure on myself, try to see if I can duplicate some kind of performance that I did last year.” As commissioner Mike Whan strives to make the LPGA a global circuit in this difficult economic climate, the 2011 schedule has made it troublesome for players to stay as sharp as they’d like. There are only 24 official events this year, and the schedule certainly isn’t steady. Only six tournaments were held in the first four months of the year and the two in May were limited — the Sybase Match Play Championship featured just 16 players and the Brazil Cup had 30.

NASCAR

NHL

Ambrose no longer looking back Petty driver returns to road course where late problem cost him a victory in 2010.

Marcos Ambrose has had a year to think about the mistake that cost him his first NASCAR Sprint Cup victory. Now, he’s a bit tired of rehashing it. “I’m trying to forget about it to be honest with you,” Ambrose said. “Races come and you make split-second decisions out there. It’s the closest I’ve been to winning a race so far and clearly it’s on people’s mind this weekend, but it doesn’t matter.” Ambrose was closing in on that elusive win at Infineon Raceway last June when he stalled his engine while trying to conserve gas under a late caution. His car came to a stop, and although he eventually restarted and tried to move to his spot at the front of the field, NASCAR ordered him back to seventh place for failing to “maintain reasonable speed” — he finished sixth. He returns to Sonoma, Calif., the site of that gaffe, still winless on the circuit. No matter how much he tries to put that unpleasant finish behind him, the affable Australian knows the questions are unavoidable this week. “We were doing great in the race, we had a good strategy although the way it was running down, I was running out of tires, running out of fuel, and getting ready for a late restart,” he said. “I don’t need to look back on what happened last year. It is what it is. I couldn’t get the motor refired for whatever reason. This year we have a brand new team, brand new chief, brand new sponsor and brand new carburetor, so I should have no issues. Just looking forward to get-

ting out there and trying to win it.” Not long after his Sonoma mishap, Ambrose said he would leave Ambrose JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of the season. He’s now the driver of the No. 9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports. He enters Sunday’s race 21st in the points standings, up five spots from his finish last season, but he still hasn’t won. This weekend could be one of his best chances. Long considered one of the top road course drivers in the series, he finished third at Infineon in 2009 to go along with last year’s sixth-place showing. That 2009 finish was remarkable considering he blew a motor in practice and had to start at the back of the field and forfeit his third-place qualifying position. Although he describes oval racing as “the pure form of NASCAR,” he’s not about to shy away from his area of expertise. Courses like Infineon are where he has a chance to shine. “There’s a lot going on behind the wheel. You’re obviously changing gears, you’re turning left and right, you’re managing front and left brake pressure, sometimes you’re doing it together. The track is undulating and there’s a lot of dust that’s thrown off by other cars that run across the track,” he said. “There’s just a lot going on on a road course. You really have to stay very focused on your own car and not really worry about whether a guy is pulling away for a lap or two. It normally balances out.” Ambrose’s best finish of 2010 was on another road course at Watkins Glen. He finished third and might have won, but the handling on the last set of tires

was off. Now he’s hoping for a breakthrough at Sonoma, and he won’t be the only one who benefits from a victory. Stanley Black & Decker, one of RPM’s sponsors, will donate $1 million to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals if Ambrose wins. “And if I really mess it up and come dead last, we are still going to donate $100,000,” Ambrose said. History suggests Ambrose will probably be closer to first than last. Of course, as he learned a year ago, coming close can make defeat even more agonizing. “Just when you think you’ve seen the most of what NASCAR can throw you, something else pops up,” he said. “I’m pretty sure my car parked on the side of the hill last year trying to get restarted is one of those moments. Unfortunately, I was the one in that car, but it was a fairly surreal moment.”

or another from the lengthy list of Europeans available, if they selected Irving first. They were still weighing their options as of Wednesday afternoon with their first No. 1 pick since taking James in 2003. “They’re keeping their cards closely, as they should, and we’ll see how it goes tomorrow night,” Irving said. Minnesota holds the No. 2 pick and seems open to dealing it. Utah has Nos. 3 and 12, the latter potentially putting the Jazz in the difficult position of deciding whether they want to keep BYU star Jimmer Fredette in state.

Fredette led the nation with 28.9 points per game and was honored by The Associated Press and nearly other organization that gives out a player of the year award. But he is perhaps the most scrutinized player in this draft full of question marks, with doubts over whether he has the quickness to get his shot off in the NBA or defend the much quicker guards he will face on a nightly basis. Not to worry. Fredette says during his carefully devised workout schedule — he performed for only Utah, Sacramento, Indiana, New York and Phoenix — he gained confidence that his

game will translate. “I learned that I’m a very confident guy and that I can play against anyone,” Fredette said. “I feel like I can play all the guys out there, played against some of the toughest athletes and players that are guards in this draft. So it took away confidence and knowing that I can play in this league.” The criticism of the draft’s strength is due largely to the NBA’s uncertain labor situation. With the collective bargaining agreement set to expire June 30 and owners and players far apart on a new deal, the possibility of a lockout and a shortened or canceled 2011-12 season remains.

Ducks’ Perry wins MVP award By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press

LAS VEGAS — Corey Perry crashed the Sedins’ NHL MVP party. The Anaheim Ducks forward, who scored a league-best 50 goals, won the Hart Trophy on Wednesday night. His surprise win came at the expense of scoring champion Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks, who was trying to complete an unprecedented MVP double dip after his twin brother and teammate Henrik took the honors last year. Perry’s win capped the twohour NHL Awards ceremony. Even he said he didn’t expect to take home the trophy. Tampa Bay’s Martin St. Louis, who won the Lady Byng Trophy for gentlemanly and excellent play, was the third MVP finalist. Perry surged to the goal title, scoring 19 in his final 16 games. During that stretch, Anaheim moved from 11th to fourth in the Western Conference. The Sedins didn’t pull off the back-to-back MVP wins, but

make an impact,” Williams said. Even in what’s considered a less-than-stellar NBA draft, the Cavaliers have plenty of options tonight at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., when they become the first team since the 1983 Houston Rockets with two picks in the top four. They’re expected to start with Irving, considered the favorite since the Cavaliers won the lottery last month. Though the Duke point guard played just 11

they do own the past two scoring titles. Daniel won it this season with 104 points — including 41 goals. He was second in the league with a plus-30 rating. St. Louis had 68 assists, second to Henrik Sedin’s 75, and was second to Daniel Sedin with 99 points. Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom returned to the awards platform by winning his seventh Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenseman, beating out Nashville’s Shea Weber and Boston’s Zdeno Chara. Lidstrom tied Doug Harvey as a seven-time winner, one behind record-holder Bobby Orr. Lidstrom won the award for the first time since 2008, the last of his second three-peat. His win came at the start of a glammedup show in Sin City, where the league honored its brightest stars from the 2010-11 season. Tim Thomas added his second Vezina Trophy to go with his recent Stanley Cup title. The Boston Bruins goalie earned top NHL honors after a stellar season that culminated in his first games during his freshman season because of a toe injury on his right foot, the numbers he put in his limited time seem too good to pass up. “It definitely feels good, you know, knowing that I’m still projected to go No. 1,” Irving said. “We’ll see how it goes tomorrow, but it’s an honor to be at the No. 1 spot right now.” The 6-foot-2 guard averaged 17.5 points while shooting 53 percent from the floor, 46 percent from 3-point range and 90 percent from the foul line. He returned from his injury in time to play in the NCAA tournament — where his Blue Devils were over-

championship. Thomas set an NHL record for save percentage when he finished at .938, surpassing Dominik Hasek’s .937 set in the 1998-89 season. He also had a league-low 2.00 goals-against average and nine shutouts. Those imposing figures lifted him over fellow Vezina finalists Roberto Luongo of the Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks and Nashville’s Pekka Rinne in voting by the league’s 40 general managers. Rinne had 25 wins in 42 starts, ranking second in save percentage. Dan Bylsma of the Pittsburgh Penguins picked up the Jack Adams Award as coach of the year, and Ryan Kesler of the Vancouver Canucks ended Pavel Datsyuk’s three-year run as Selke Trophy winner, honoring the best defensive forward. Bylsma was recognized for the job he did in leading the Penguins to the playoffs, despite being without star forwards Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin for much of the season. whelmed by Williams in Arizona’s round of 16 victory — and he said that proves there should be no question about his health. “Playing in the NCAA tournament was the deciding factor for me,” Irving said. “If I didn’t play in the NCAA tournament, I would have been back at Duke for my sophomore season. I just wanted to kind of limit all the questions on my health and durability.” The Cavaliers also pick fourth — the No. 1 pick was acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers last season in the Baron Davis trade — giving them the ability to add a big man, perhaps Kanter

Once again today, very humid air will remain in place over our region, and with a shallow trough of low pressure nearby we can expect showers to form along with scattered storms. The chance of rain starts this morning lasting up until around 10 this evening. Tomorrow, the wind will shift more toward the west, and this will pave the way for less humid weather to move in over the weekend. There is still the chance for a storm tomorrow, but Saturday should remain dry and Sunday is looking nice as well. Our longrange forecast for late next week into the Fourth of July is showing above normal temperatures. - Tom Clark

‘Elderly?’ Don’t you dare

As first baby boomers reach 65, the term ‘senior center’ is the only thing actually getting old By KIM HONE-MCMAHAN Akron Beacon Journal

AKRON, Ohio — Don’t call them “old.” Don’t call them “seniors.” And heaven help anyone who calls them “elderly.” The oldest of the baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, turn 65 this year. But you won’t find them in many senior centers. Most think they are far too young to be old. In Stark County, Ohio, for in-

stance, the Lake Senior Center, also known as the Lake Adult Community Center, is closing on Sept. 30 because of funding problems — and lack of participation. “It’s just like a church that dies because there are no new members coming in,” said Christine Thompson, a volunteer at the center. Sometimes called the Me Generation, the now 47- to 65-yearolds grew up in a time of sex,

drugs and rock-’n’-roll. Older boomers burned their bras, protested and grew their hair long. They’ve been blamed for all kinds of social ills, including an increased divorce rate. Thousands died in the Vietnam War, and they pushed the country forward by demanding equal rights for women and minorities and lobbying for cleaner air and water. Now, some worry that with 80 million boomers in the United

States retiring at the rate of 300 an hour, the strain will be too much for Social Security. And socially, they are redefining old age. “How many 55-year-olds do you look at and say, ‘They are old?’ ” asked Thompson, 47. “Most are not like our parents, who worked in the fields and factories and were physically abused (by their jobs). “A lot of baby boomers do things like bleach their teeth, dye

their hair and wear acrylic nails. Of those who have held whitecollar jobs, you can’t tell their age — and never will.” According to a 2009 Pew Research survey, the typical boomer believes old age doesn’t begin until 72. And when asked whether today’s 65-year-olds are the same as 65-year-olds from a couple of decSee YOUNG, Page 2C

Back in the summer of 1949, when Heidi Selecky and Paul Jarecki were both infants in the close-knit community of Glen Lyon, their mothers ran into each other and compared notes on the newborns. Now, if either of the two women suggested – as people often do – that the little boy in this baby carriage and the little girl in that baby carriage might grow up to marry each other someday, they probably just had a good chuckle about it. But that’s exactly what happened. Heidi and Paul exchanged vows in St. Adalbert’s Church, on Oct. 16, 2010, with Heidi’s cousin the Rev. Adrian Tirpak officiating. If you’ve done the math, you realize Heidi and Paul were 61 years young at the time. Beaming as they shared their story earlier this week, the couple said the right person is worth the wait. They know they’ve entered their marriage – a first wedding for both – a bit later than most people do, and they cheerfully acknowledged that fact by choosing Paul McCartney’s “The Long and Winding Road” as the music for their first dance as husband and wife. So where did the winding roads of their lives take them? For a few early “miles,” or years, the roads actually coincided, with Heidi and Paul attending classes together in junior and senior high school. As ninth-grade students, they were even paired for the 1964 graduation march from the former Pulaski Junior High School. But after graduating from the former Newport Township High School in 1967, their paths diverged. Heidi enrolled at what was then Marywood College, graduating with a bachelor of arts in English in 1971. Then she went to graduate school at Villanova University to prepare for a career as a librarian. Paul enrolled at what was then Wilkes College and graduSee WAIT, Page 6C

There are hundreds of bricks in King’s College’s mid-campus Monarch Court, both plain and inscribed for those who support the college, but Vicki Weaver knows exactly where hers is. She’s all smiles as she stands before it and reads the inscription: “Finally, after 40 years.” Weaver is a 57-year-old Tunkhannock woman who, in 2007, decided it was about time to get her bachelor’s degree. This spring, 40 years after her graduation from Montclair High School in Montclair, Weaver Calif., she finally achieved her goal and so much more. The wife and mother – she and her husband, William, have a daughter Erin, 35 – graduated with a degree in English literature, an academic area that came up by chance. Her adviser told her that, based on her transcripts, the best major choices that would allow her to get a degree in the least amount of classes were English literature and criminal justice. Weaver had no interest in the latter and no experience with the former. “I picked English lit knowing full well that I’m not much of a reader,” she said. “It forced me to learn how to read properly and how to critique writing, analyze and really understand what the author is trying to say. It was a big challenge.” Another challenge she faced was learning among much younger students. “The thought of walking into a class filled with kids in their 20s made me a little uneasy,” she said, “but after the first day I became comfortable. I found that they were all very kind and actually relied on my experience to help them. I mean, after all, they weren’t even born

Don’t stifle our vibrancy

BIRTHDAYS ARE ANNUAL milestones that mark our progression, I guess, on the road from dust to dust. Before this dust settles, I’d like to have lived a fulfilled life with few regrets. That’s not likely, however. Truth is, none of us ever has enough birthdays to complete our bucket lists so that when we close our eyes for the final time we can feel satisfied – that we have been in the game for X number of years, did our best and accomplished everything we set out to accomplish. It just isn’t possible. Life, they say, is short at its longest. But we all have choices along the way: choices to either sit on the sidelines and cheer on our contemporaries as life parades by, or throw off our warm-ups and run onto the field. This, I suspect, is how AARP and others measure the “vibrancy” of us older folks – those of us older than 50, 60 or – gasp – even older. As I approach another birthday, I can say I sure don’t feel old. I enjoy an active life, and my mind still functions in a contemporary mode that would not embarrass my kids or grandkids if I had any, which I don’t. Now, that is a regret I will carry to the grave. I still ride a bike, play basketball, fish, dance and swim. I don’t do any of these things better than I did 10 or 20 or 50 years ago. Except for the fishing. But the important thing here is that I can still do them and do them reasonably well. However, activity is not the only definition of vibrancy. To me, a vibrant person is not only physcially active, but also spiritual, compassionate and a humanitarian. The process of maturation is much slower in men than women, for sure. Most men I know have never matured, while most

ades ago, Inese Alvarez, director of the Akron-based Retired & Senior Volunteer Program, emitted a long sigh. “No, they are different,” said Alvarez, 59. “We’ve grown up with youth, health and fitness. The older folks didn’t grow up with health clubs.” In Springfield Township, Ohio, Bobby Dinkins, director of the community’s Boyd Esler Senior/Community Center, said the word “community” was added to attract more people. “Senior centers are traditionally looked at as a social gathering place, a place to meet with friends on a weekly basis. Activities tend to be passive in nature. Playing cards, bingo, ceramics, board games. ... That’s what senior centers have traditionally offered. Today’s seniors want to be more active. Also, people are working longer and have less time, so they don’t have as much time to spend at the center.” As a result, Dinkins said, the center is offering programming such as ballroom-dance lessons,

Zumba classes and something that’s certain to make boomers feel like kids again: “We’re waiting on funding to be finalized, but we’ve been awarded a grant to establish a senior playground at our lakefront park.” Alvarez is quick to boast about the older adults she works with who volunteer in Akron and surrounding communities. “The average age is something like 74 or 75, and they are busier than anyone I know,” she said. “I also have the challenge of recruiting 55- to 64-year-olds.” But there may be some good news for Alvarez. According to a study conducted for Merrill Advertisement

Lynch by Harris Interactive, there has been a transformation of the Me Generation into the “We” Generation. The boomer generation “has grown up — now with deep concerns for the well-being of their children, their parents and their communities,” the study reads. Ten times more respondents to the survey said they put others first as opposed to putting themselves first. And for Alvarez, the report indicates it’s probably women she will have to draw upon. That’s because boomer men and women apparently have different ideas of retirement. “Boomer men are looking forward to working less, relaxing more and spending more time with their spouse, while boomer women view the dual liberations of empty nesting and retirement as providing new opportunities for career development, community involvement and continued personal growth,” the study found. Dinkins, 45, doesn’t think baby boomers are in denial that they are getting old; rather they’re looking at it as a challenge. And that’s all fine and good — as long as you don’t call them “seniors.”

Golden Boomers stay active Groups, volunteer opportunities and hobbies abound for seniors By MICHELE HARRIS

mharris@timesleader.com

rowing old and entering the period known as retirement is a starting, not an ending, point. If you fall under the category of Golden Boomer – retired or soon to retire – rest assured hope lives on. Today, the stereotypical view of aging adults moving from a vibrant work force and caring for children to sitting in rocking chairs, eating Jell-O and watching television all day, has fallen by the wayside along with Red Dye No. 2 and corded telephones. Numerous experts say the key to growing old gracefully is to remain active. So as you enter or explore the “springtime” of your life, here are a few suggestions to help keep things blooming.

Explore a new hobby • The Northeast Pennsylvania Bonsai Society, which practices the ancient Asian art of growing miniature versions of life-size bushes and trees, meets at 7 p.m. the last Wednesday of each month at the Midway Garden Center, 1865 State Route 315, Pittston. Membership is $15 per person or $22 for families. Just curious? An open house is planned for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Midway Garden Center. Members will demonstrate the craft, and a Japanese Shakuhachi flute player will entertain. For more information call 654-6194. • The Northeast Photography Club has a membership representing varied ages and skill levels. The group has monthly competitions and organizes juried shows. The next meeting is at 7 p.m. Aug. 3 in the board room at Prime Med, 5 Morgan Highway, Scranton. Dues are $25 per year. Visit www.northeastphotographyclub.org.

Volunteer Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions may sound like a law firm to some whippersnapper, but these time-honored international service organizations were established to improve communities across the globe. The Wyoming Valley alone has dozens of clubs. Each meets monthly or bimonthly and has a specific focus. Each also has a branch for youths and offers a great way to spend time with the grandkids. Membership fees vary. Search for contact information as well as a club near you through each club’s website. • The world’s first club of this type is Rotary International. It boasts more than 1.2 million members in 33,000 clubs worldwide, according to the website www.rotary.org. Volunteers work to eliminate hunger, improve health and sanitation, promote peace and eradicate polio under the motto See ACTIVE, Page 4C

“Service Above Self.” • Kiwanis International is dedicated to “Changing the World One Child and One Community at a Time.” Kiwanians foster leadership skills in youths, build playgrounds, raise money for pediatric research, feed the hungry and aid the homeless and children and adults with disabilities. Visit www.kiwanis.org. • The largest service organization in the world is Lions International, which has 45,000 clubs and 1.35 million members, according to the website www.lionsclubs.org. Members sponsor international exchanges for young people, ensure isolated villages have clean drinking water and work to prevent blindness, restore eyesight and improve eye care near and far. • Another way to lend your time and talents is through the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program sponsored locally by the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming Counties. RSVP is the nation’s largest volunteer network for individuals 55 years of age and older, says Helene Flannery, RSVP volunteer director. Supplemental insurance is provided while on duty. RSVP volunteers can be found at senior centers, environmental educational and protection sites, blood drives, hospitals, hospices, elementary schools and more. Contact Flannery at (570) 822-1158 or hflannery@aging.luzernewyoming.org. Socialize and have fun • For the ladies, The Red Hat Society is always a good option. The Red Hot Divas and The Young at Heart are two of the more than four dozen active local chapters of this global society

that supports and encourages women in their “pursuit of fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness,” according to www.redhatsociety.com. Women older 50 are known as “Red Hatters,” and ladies younger than 50 are “Pink Hatters.” Each chapter sponsors excursions, service projects, conventions, luncheons and guest speakers at monthly meetings. The NEPA Queens Council can put you in touch with a chapter. Call Romaine Stout, council vice president, at (570) 829-3810. • For guys, the Wyoming Valley Motorcycle Club may fit the bill. The group comprises motorcycle enthusiasts who have big hearts. Rides are scheduled at least once a month for fun and to raise money for charity or someone in need. This month alone through two events, the club raised more than $11,000 for the Wyoming Valley Children’s Association and the SPCA of Luzerne County. Club members meet the first Tuesday of each month. Visit www.wyomingvalleymotorcycleclub.org. • Senior centers today are nothing to scoff at. Each offers a nutritious lunch daily and so much more. For less than $10 you can pay the annual membership fee and dine for two days or more. Programs are designed to nourish mind, body and soul through guest speakers, education, crafts, golf leagues and yoga and Zumba classes. To find a center sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging for Luzerne and Wyoming Counties visit http://www.aginglw.org or search by other counties at http://www.paseniorcenters.org/community/ county/index.htm. If none of the above entices you, check out your neighborhood library for book clubs and area churches for quilting and knitting groups. When in doubt, start your own club or organization. Hey, you finally have the time.

be finding a moment to figure out the future. “I had to sign up for Medicare,” Appel, a widow whose husband, Paul, died two years ago, notes. The system penalizes those of her age who wait, she explains. But “I don’t want to retire.” That could be because of the close friendships she’s formed everywhere she’s ever worked, including HarperCollins, a physics lab and, back in the day, even the JCPenney photography studio – “the hardest job in the whole world” – or it could be because, in a sense, she’s only just begun the most recent chapter of her professional life. Appel, who studied math and physics at Marywood College (now Marywood University), at a traditional age, later went back to earn a second bachelor’s degree in management information systems, then continued on for a master’s degree in software engineering at the University of Scranton, which she earned at age 50. “I was 40 when I first started working on computers,” she notes. Plenty of folks, women especially, are loathe to throw those kinds of numbers around openly, but as for her own age and the age at which she took on so

Get Jazzy

many of her life’s challenges, Appel pointedly says, “I don’t care.” In fact, the looming 65 surprises her. “The years go by so quickly,” she says. “I don’t feel any different now than when I was 35,” in terms of socializing, working, whatever. At HarperCollins, she’s “the old lady of the group,” but the group’s a close-knit one that hardly holds her years against her. She supervises all men and two women but regularly has lunch with the same handful of women, with whom she also enjoys plentiful post-work happy hours and has entertained inside her meticulously kept home. Her social circle also includes former co-workers ranging in age from their 40s to 50s who regularly gather for coveted girls’ nights out. These don’t happen perhaps as frequently as she’d like, but blame lack of time, not desire. Appel is also a league bowler and an accomplished one at that. In 2008, she was part of a state-championship team and has the $33 earnings check to prove it. The former confirmationclass teacher and assistant choir director at St. John the Evangelist Church in Pittston also would consider taking up such roles at her current church, St. Maria Goretti in Laflin, except choir nights conflict with league nights on Wednesdays. Then there’s the teaching gig. Appel is an adjunct faculty mem-

ber, in management information systems and computers, at Misericordia University in Dallas Township. On top of that, she makes a work trip to New York City every few weeks. And, yes, she drives, unintimidated by any bridge, tunnel or traffic jam. Extra days often get tacked on to the trips because, after all, it’s New York City, home of Broadway and the Metropolitan Opera, which are favorite haunts. “I love it. I would live there if I could,” she says, explaining there are two great things about her job: “One is books, and the other is New York City.” The passion for the Big Apple and the stage might be explained by her own dalliance with the theater in a previous life, when she worked with the Wilkes-Barre Artistic Theatre Ensemble. She started by selling tickets, then moved on to lights and sound and eventually got “connived into some acting.” Her big role came in a production of Alfred Uhry’s “Last Night of Ballyhoo,” in which she played Boo Levy, a social-climbing Jewish mother obsessed with marrying off her daughter. The passion for books, on the other hand, has an obvious source, considering her latest line of work. A home office is filled with hardcovers and paperbacks, mysteries prominent among them, and a closet has even been converted into bookshelves. What’s the last book she read? This should come as no sur-

prise, considering her disregard for age parameters: “Twilight 3.” (“Twilight 4” is on order.) Sure, it’s considered a “teen series,” but a friend lent her a copy, and she quickly got hooked, noting she was surprised by the sensuality as well as the quality of the writing. Television and movies are other preferred forms of entertainment. Appel recently saw (and loved) the raunchy rom-com “Bridesmaids” and enjoys film festivals at the Dietrich Theater in Tunkhannock. At a recent showing of the Oscar-nominated “The Kids Are All Right,” she remembered how some of the “older” folks in attendance audibly gasped at some of the content. It didn’t faze her. She also has an almost-full digital video recorder at home holding programs she loves – notably “Hot In Cleveland” with the “crazy ladies” and the “unbelievable” Betty White and at least 40 unwatched installments of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” Someday those will get viewed certainly. Perhaps if and when this thing called retirement actually does happen. For now, however, Appel would like to do two things sooner rather than later: start a card club and a book club. Players and readers are welcome to apply.

40 years ago, so I had a lot to offer.” She came to find she was fully accepted in no time. “I took an acting class, and students were actually telling the professor, ‘We want Vicki on our team.’ ” Already on the path to achieving one goal, Weaver decided to set another. “I really wanted to graduate with honors because I missed it in high school by a small fraction,” she said. “I thought that maybe I could graduate magna cum laude. And then I said well, maybe I could graduate summa cum laude.” Weaver did just that, ending her college career with a 3.815 grade point average. During the past four years she continued to push herself, volunteering to present papers and submit her work to conventions, where she would read what she wrote. “I went completely outside my comfort zone,” she said. “Like I tell my daughter, it’s an automatic no if you don’t ask or try, so why not go for it?” Weaver took a special interest in poetry and has become a published poet in the Taj Ma-

hal Review, a literary journal. She is an administrative secretary at King’s College, but even if she was not working in an academic setting, she would have pushed herself to get a degree, she said. “Somehow, I would have found grants,” she said. “I had a burning desire to earn that diploma, and I would have worked really hard to find a way to get back into classes.” Before moving to the area in 2000, Weaver worked at a university in California for 15 years. “I love academia, and I love students. They keep you young, and it’s fun to watch them grow and go through all four years and graduate.” She would like to use her degree to help educate the students she loves so dearly. “I’m going to take a bit of a break now, but then I’m going to go for my master’s in reading,” she said. “I would like to become part of a program where I could help youngsters enjoy reading, maybe not analyze or look at it critically but just enjoy it. It seems like that’s a dying art. If a child has a chance to read Huckleberry Finn or play a computer game, what do you think most would choose?” “By the time I finish my master’s and settle into that, I might be 67, but who cares?” she said. “I never want to stop learning.”

ated with a bachelor of science in biology in 1971. Then he headed to Auburn University in Alabama for a master’s in microbiology. After Tropical Storm Agnes devastated the Wyoming Valley in 1972, Heidi volunteered to help the recovery efforts at Wilkes College Library, where she soon became an employee. She is still there, nearly 40 years later. Paul lived away from Glen Lyon for years but said he always hoped to return to his hometown. On a return visit in 1981, he ran into Heidi at the Glen Lyon Bank. They hadn’t seen each other for 15 years, Heidi recalled. “We struck up a conversation and became friends from that point on. He had jobs in Philadelphia and later Harrisburg and would come to Glen Lyon occasionally on weekends. We would go to a movie or a baseball game or for pizza.” The courtship was a slow one, perhaps because Heidi was caring for her elderly mother, Helen, who died in 2003 at age 91. Then Paul’s mother, Wanda, fell ill, and Paul, by then having moved back to Glen Lyon, helped

his brother, John, care for her at home, with Heidi pitching in whenever she could. After Paul’s mother died in 2007, Paul and Heidi found themselves volunteering for the Newport Township Community Organization, gathering and compiling historic photos for a fundraiser calendar and two DVDs. That in itself was a long and arduous road of effort. “If we were still speaking to each other after that,” Heidi said, “we were meant to be together.” “We were watching TV one night, and I said, ‘Do you want to get married?’ ” Paul remembered. “She said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Do you want to elope?’ and she said ‘No.’ ” So the couple planned a church wedding, one in which Heidi’s sister Mary and Paul’s brother John would stand up for them. It would be a time for Heidi’s “dear-

est friend, Mary Sheehy” from Dundee Gardens to prepare the floral arrangements and for Heidi to fulfill some age-old traditions. In keeping with the Slovak custom of a “babushka dance,” the bride danced with all the guests at her wedding. But instead of simply adding a babushka to her wedding attire, she changed into a full ethnic costume, complete with apron, embroidery and a vest. “My uncle brought it from Slovakia 70 years ago,” she said. After a wedding trip to Vermont, the couple settled in their Glen Lyon hometown. Heidi continues to work at the library at Wilkes University, and Paul is an environmental chemist for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. They enjoy Phillies baseball and the occasional Penn State football game. And they’re still community-minded volunteers. “Even if they go for a walk on the trails,” their friend Tom Kashatus said, “They’re picking up aluminum cans.” They’re also considerate of each other, and Heidi said she really appreciates Paul’s thoughtfulness, in gestures both great and small. “It never fails, but he always opens the car door for me,” she said with a smile.

ond career. A second career was Douaihy’s plan, incidentally, when she retired in 2004 after teaching for 34 years in the Scranton School District. “Now it’s my turn,” she said, smiling as she sorted through photos from England in her art studio in the Downtown Arts building on North Franklin Street. Images from her recent trip will be on exhibit from 5 to 8 p.m. July 15 during downtown Wilkes-Barre’s Third Friday Art Walk. “I see beauty everywhere,” Douaihy said, as she admired a photo of a crusader’s tomb she shot at Salisbury Cathedral. The tomb included a statue of the ancient warrior, in full armor. “At the edge of his feet is his trusty dog,” she pointed out. In another favorite photo, she captured the image of a second photographer who seemed to be taking a picture of her, just as she shot of photo of him, framed by the massive boulders of Stonehenge. As many travelers know, any kind of journey can be tiring. But improving your fitness level – through exercise – can give you more stamina. “It’s become part of my life,” 74-year-old JoAnne Rygiel of Wyoming said Tuesday morning after taking part in a yoga class led by instructor Geeta Prasad at the Odyssey Fitness Center in Wilkes-Barre. Rygiel credits the deep breathing and stretches of the Eastern discipline, which she has studied for three years, with bringing her blood pressure down to 116/80 and helping her feel good all over. “Mainly to reduce stress,” David Zeveney, 68, of the Hanover section of Nanticoke said, explaining why he takes the class. “It’s a great way to stretch your hamstrings and everything else.” “It’s very good for you,” confirmed Prasad, the instructor, who is 67 and lives in Pittston. She credits yoga with keeping

her asthma under control – “I only use the inhaler when I’m around a dog or dust.” – as well as sparing her the need for surgery to remove varicose veins. “I just wish more young people would come to the class,” she said. “Sometimes they think you have to jump up and down and sweat buckets to do any good.” The deep, controlled breathing of yoga brings more oxygen into your bloodstream, which helps rid the body of toxins, Prasad explained. But to get benefits from yoga, she said, you must practice regularly, not just once in awhile. The oldest student in her Tuesday-morning class, 91-yearold Mary Misewich of WilkesBarre, takes that advice to heart, attending yoga several times a week, along with other classes at the Odyssey. In fact, immediately after yoga ended, Misewich rushed off to the “Silver and Fit” class that combined aerobics, handheld weights and “zigzagging through a ladder” that was actually a mat on the floor that looked like a ladder. “It’s all designed to keep their minds sharp,” said instructor Mary Majikes of Wilkes-Barre, who just turned 50 herself and knows the benefits of staying active. “Flexibility is key to that age group,” said Pat Reilly of Downtown Dojo in Wilkes-Barre, who has taught martial arts to individuals well into their 60s. “It keeps

your muscles strong, and you’re less likely to be injured.” Older people needn’t worry they’ll be expected to throw opponents to the ground, or be thrown themselves, when they sign up for a martial arts. “If you’re 16, you can fall and bounce back up. Not so much when you’re 60,” said Reilly, 43, who designs more gentle workouts for older students. A gentle and artistic time is just what Essy Davidowitz, 77, of Kingston, is looking for when she has twice-weekly private ballroom dance lessons with Raphael and Lauren Cooper from Arts YOUniverse – sometimes on the same day she has a harp lesson with Peabody Conservatory graduate Megan Davis. “They have such beautiful souls,” she said of her three young teachers. On a recent afternoon, Raphael and Lauren Cooper demonstrated a waltz; then Raphael danced with Davidowitz, who said the exercise helps combat some difficulties she has with balance. “We learn from Essy, too,” said Lauren Cooper, 28. “She’ll give us advice about life and marriage and loving what you do. We always leave feeling good.” Davidowitz returned the compliment. “They are so full of positive energy and so enthused about life, you just want to emulate them,” she said, sounding very enthusiastic herself. “They make you feel more alive.”

Make your bucket-list dreams come true By ROBERT POWELL MarketWatch

BOSTON — I don’t, I am somewhat embarrassed to admit, have a bucket list. And I am reminded of this every day in some form or fashion. A former colleague — whom I admired greatly — dies at the age of 63. A friend posts a notice on Facebook that’s he’s leaving for a three-week trip to Africa. Amid those two extreme examples, I toil, finger to keyboard writing for the masses; hands on a steering wheel, driving children hither and yon to wrestling, basketball and track practices. Should I create a wish list of to-dos before dying as did the characters Edward and Carter in the movie “The Bucket List?” And assuming the answer is yes (not sure why it wouldn’t be), what’s the best way to do that? The best way to approach it is to answer a few questions. In fact, almost everything about a bucket list can be boiled

down to these questions: What makes you happy? What are your interests? How much do your interests cost, and do you have the money and time to pursue the things you are interested in and that make you happy? That’s pretty much it, according to the experts. “We create a bucket list because we want to be happy,” said John Nelson, author of “What Color is Your Parachute? For Retirement.” “Some of the latest research on happiness suggests we need to pay attention to two very different kinds of happiness: ‘experiencing’ and ‘evaluating,’ ” he said. The experiencing part, he added, relates to happiness in the moment and includes the kinds of positive emotions we get from doing fun or engaging activities. “Those would be the exciting adventures or fun episodes from the movie,” Nelson said. The evaluating part, meanwhile, relates to happiness in reflecting on our

As for going back to school, Koff suggests that you enroll in courses that you’ve always wanted to take or pursue an advanced degree. (I have a friend who is retired and presently enrolled in a French literature course at Boston University and reading the works of Marguerite de Navarre, including “The Heptameron.”) Spending time with family and friends is among the most common items on the bucket list. Timothy Harris, a principal with principal at the consulting firm Milliman and the author of “Living to 100 and Beyond,” says, “social connections including family and friends are important and have been shown to add to longevity. This isn’t restricted to Facebook connections, although that can be a start. Spend, instead, face time with family and friends.” Creating the items for your bucket list also will require talking with your spouse and family, according to Koff.

life as a whole, and includes the kinds of fulfillment we get from meaning or purpose. “Those would be the sense of accomplishment and deep personal connections from the movie,” Nelson said. The key to creating a bucket list is to make sure it addresses both the experiencing and evaluating sides of happiness, he said. For his part, Art Koff, founder and CEO of RetiredBrains.com, said identifying your passions and interests is the key ingredient of building a bucket list. “What you read and what you research as well as whom you should consult with depends on their identifying areas of interest,” Koff said. “Once any item on the actual list is identified, Internet research will provide more information on the specific activity.” For instance, if you want to travel, you might have to read “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” or “101 Things To Do Before You Die” for some ideas.

Building a list without letting your loved ones in on the secret could spell trouble later on. By the way, Koff also noted that there’s a foundation — called Never Too Late — that specializes in making the aspirations of senior citizens and terminally ill adults come true. Visit this site to learn more about Never Too Late. http:// www.nevertoolate.org/ Identifying your interests — be it travel or gardening or playing a musical instrument — and what makes you happy are, of course, important. But unless you have a plan and the money to pursue your interests, this bucket list might as well be a sieve. For instance, Harris said, you might need to consider a phased retirement or delayed retirement. In addition, you’ll need a realistic projection of post-retirement income and expenses. “Financial planning is the key to being able to accomplish the bucket list,” Harris said.

You can put lots of things on a bucket list, sure. But when we spoke to some area folks about what they would like to do before they die, the running theme seemed to be travel. For fun, for family, from Morocco to Poland, this group of locals has been bitten by the travel bug. SARA POKORNY PHOTOS/FOR THE TIMES LEADER

“Roseann and I just got married, and we’d love to do some traveling. I’ve never been out of the country and would love to go to Italy.”

Thoughtful suggestions ease hard times of living under one roof Dear Abby: With so many families moving in with relatives because of personal struggles in their lives, I thought it might be helpful to offer a few suggestions. If you move in with relatives: 1. Do not assume they won’t mind if you store everything you own in their garage. Get rid of it or pay for a storage unit. 2. Help with the housework, even if they say, “Oh, don’t bother.” And keep your space clean and orderly. 3. Show you appreciate having a place to stay. Feed pets, carry out the trash, rake leaves or shovel snow. 4. Do your own laundry. Ask when is the most convenient time to do it.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE 5. If you are paying something toward your stay, don’t think that precludes your helping in the home. 6. Work out the food arrangements. Maybe you have a shelf or drawer in the fridge for your food. 7. If you don’t have a job, keep looking. Don’t lie around watching TV, sleeping or playing on the computer. 8. Never gossip about the household. You owe it to the family who took you in. 9. Do try to set a departure date. If things change, discuss it. When in doubt, talk it out.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

To those who are going through this, I wish you luck and better times ahead. — Loving Family Member Dear Family Member: Your letter is timely because, for various reasons, millions of Americans now live in multifamily and intergenerational households. For some of them, the arrangement will be temporary. For others, it is cultural, practical and will be permanent. Whatever the reasons for cohabiting, the suggestions you submitted are thought-provoking and worth space in my column. Thank you for raising the subject. Dear Abby: I was married for nine years to an outwardly sweet, but deceptive woman who cheated and left

me. We have two children. A custody battle is waging, and the divorce has not been finalized due to financial disputes. I have found myself with a dilemma. I am not a bad-looking guy, and women come on to me during social events. On the occasion that I find myself attracted and ask a woman out, I end up telling her the whole divorce/custody story no matter how hard I try to avoid it or change the subject. After the date, I regret the conversation. How should these issues be discussed with a potential lover? I have avoided commitment because of all the “baby mama drama” some of the women had, but I’m now seriously interested in someone and she’s receptive to seeing me. I’m a free-spirited

person and this problem is weighing me down. Please advise, Abby. — “Stuck” in South Carolina Dear “Stuck”: Because you are seriously interested, do the honorable thing and let her know in advance that a relationship with you may be complicated because your divorce isn’t final, and the reasons why. If she’s as interested in you as you are in her, she will respect you for it.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe this is not exactly the life of your dreams, but when you assess your experiences with the people you love, look around at all you have acquired. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of struggling with your inner critical voice (which, by the way, will be especially loud now), try to befriend it. Listen to what it has to say and respond, “I see your point, but I respectfully disagree.” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can expand your intellectual horizons by simply avoiding mindnumbing activities such as losing yourself in entertainment you’ve already seen or in an ocean of Internet correspondence. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you feel distant from a person, you are less likely to care about whether or not your actions please that person. Create a closeness with loved ones that will make your relationship impervious to apathy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will be uplifted by the camaraderie of music. Go where you can listen to music with others. A song passes through you like an invisible thread, connecting you to your fellow music lovers. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a rivalry going on. Emotions are high, alliances are clear, and everyone wants his own side to win. Acknowledge how important this is to those around you, even though you may be ambivalent about the outcome. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The correct answer is obvious, though many people around you will

choose the incorrect response. Some will cave to the social pressure. Stand strong for what is right. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The truth sometimes makes you cry, and you can move others to tears by stating the truth through your various means of self-expression. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You do what you do because you want to love and be loved. Others may not respond in the manner you would prefer, but they still feel your intention and return the feelings. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Through routine activities, you connect with loved ones in a meaningful way. There is something sacred about the way you give your friendship, and others will honor it as such. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In a group situation, there is a diffusion of responsibility. Because of the number of people involved, many won’t be inclined to try as hard. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have to be exposed to an idea repeatedly before it will take hold and seem like an excellent idea. That’s why repeatedly seeing people make a healthy choice will prompt you to do the same. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 23). You’ll have specific tasks to accomplish this year. List them. You’ll exist in your peak performance zone in July, so challenge yourself. Develop your talent in October. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 17, 30 and 16.

The second-quarter earnings for Discover Financial Service will give a snapshot of how consumer spending is being affected by higher gas and food prices, and by concerns about the slowing economy. The credit card company has been reporting fewer defaults, a sign that fewer consumers are in trouble. So the focus now will be on whether people are using their credit cards less because their budgets are strained, or because they’re worried.

Spill rig owner blames BP The owner of the rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico last year largely blames oil giant BP for the disaster in an internal investigation report released Wednesday that bolsters the Swiss firm’s arguments in the face of lawsuits and expected government fines. The report from Transocean Ltd. said the April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon explosion and resulting oil spill was sparked by a succession of well design, construction, and temporary abandonment decisions that compromised the integrity of the well and compounded the risk of its failure. Transocean said many of the decisions were made by well owner BP in the two weeks before the incident. BP’s own internal report on the disaster blamed a cascade of failures by multiple companies. Government investigations also have spread around the blame.

Cooking oil powers planes Dutch airline KLM plans to use recycled cooking oil as biofuel to power flights to and from France in a move aimed at cutting carbon emissions. Starting in September, KLM will begin more than 200 flights between Paris and Amsterdam using biofuel made from used cooking oil, the company said Wednesday. KLM managing director Camiel Eurlings said in a statement the airline does not have to make any changes to its aircraft engines to use the new biofuel. The biofuel flights are intended to help reduce KLM’s carbon emissions while having a “minimum negative impact on biodiversity and food supply.”

House mulls patent-system overhaul bill By JIM ABRAMS Associated Press

Stocks closed lower Wednesday after the Federal Reserve brought down its estimates for U.S. economic growth. The Fed now expects the economy to grow between 2.7 percent and 2.9 percent this year. That’s down from its previous estimate of 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said at a press conference that some of the problems plaguing the economy “may be stronger and more persistent than we thought.” “Maybe some of the headwinds that are concerning us, like weakness in the financial sector, problems in the housing sector ... some of these headwinds may be stronger and more persistent that we thought,” Bernanke said.

The big food maker’s fiscal fourth-quarter results are expected to show how much it’s passing higher prices for ingredients like corn and wheat on to customers. All food makers have been contending with higher costs. And as the economy has improved, they’ve had more freedom to charge more for their products. ConAgra’s third-quarter earnings fell because of higher costs — although it did raise prices.

A better unemployment trend?

Applications for unemployment benefits have fallen for two weeks out of three. That has heartened economists and investors who were surprised by the government’s report of a surprisingly low number of new jobs in May. When applications fall, it’s a sign that layoffs are slowing. Today’s Labor Department report on applications for benefits last week will show whether the positive trend is continuing – or if more people are losing their jobs.

olours Inc. began with one Wilkes-Barre store in 1986. Slowly but surely the automotive paint distributor owned by city native Tim Evans has grown to 19 locations in three states. “We’re an overnight success story 26 years later,” Evans said. The company is one of four recipients of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce’s annual Pride of Place awards. The awards were given out Wednesday at the chamber’s annual awards luncheon, held at the Genetti Hotel & Conference Center in WilkesBarre. Colours earned recognition in the restoration/renovation/remodeling category. Through the conversion of a 4,000square-foot former funeral home, the company created a new corporate office, which allowed it to retain and add jobs in downtown Wilkes-Barre. The office, along South Washington Street between Ross and South streets, was previously the Lisman Funeral Home. The two-story, uninsulated brick building had the funeral parlor on the first floor and a residence on the second.

Evans, 54, and a 1979 Wilkes University graduate, said the location made sense for him as a way to benefit employees and to make a statement that the city is a good place to be in business. “We wanted a presence in downtown Wilkes-Barre,” Evans said, adding that employees were consolidated from other offices to the new corporate center for a more centralized location for accounts payables, accounts receivables and executives. The employees can now walk to get their lunch, do shopping and enjoy city See PRIDE, Page 2D

THE HONORED In addition to Colours Inc., three other businesses received Pride of Place awards: The Stegmaier Mansion and GWC Warranty, both in WilkesBarre, and the Hildebrandt Learning Center Corporate Office in Dallas. Around Town Bikes in WilkesBarre received the chamber’s “I Believe” award and Catherine D. Shafer, president of cds creative, inc., Edwardsville, was presented with the Athena Award, which honors exceptional women leaders in business.

WASHINGTON — The House on Wednesday took up the most far-reaching overhaul of the patent system in 60 years, a bill that leaders in both parties said would make it easier for inventors to get their innovations to market and help put people back to work. The legislation, supported by the Obama administration and a broad range of business groups and high tech companies, aims to ease the lengthy backlog in patent applications, clean up some of the procedures that can lead to costly litigation and puttheUnitedStatesunderthesamefiling system as the rest of the industrialized world. The Senate passed a similar bill last March on a 95-5 vote. If the bill makes it to the White House for the president’s signature, it could be one of the first congressional actions this year to have a concrete effectonbusinessaftermonthsoftheGOPledHousevotingonbillsthatheadstraight forthepoliticalgraveyardoftheDemocratic-controlled and slow-moving Senate. A final vote is expected later in the week. The first major overhaul of the patent system since 1952 has faced resistance. A planned vote last week was put off after the Republican chairmen of the Budget and Appropriations committees objected to a critical element that would allow the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to keep all the user fees it collects. The legislation would switch the United States from the “first-to-invent” system now in effect to the “first-inventor-to-file” system for patent applications used by all other industrialized countries. Former Judiciary Committee chairmen Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., and John Conyers, D-Mich., question the constitutionality of the change and some colleges and small-scaleinventorssaythechangewould favor large corporations and stifle academic cooperation. Alexander Poltorak, head of the American Innovators for Patent Reform, representing independent inventors, university researchers and small companies, said the bill gives big corporations an advantage by weakening the one-year grace period under which an inventor can develop his productbeforefilingforapatentandgiving corporations more post-grant challenging rights. Another contested provision in the bill allows for the review of patents for business-method innovations such as check processing. Critics argue the provision rewards large banks by giving them a way to challenge the validity of such patents, but supporters say it merely addresses mistakes when business-method patents were first issued in the late1990s. They say good patents that pass re-examination will have even stronger legal integrity.

New camera technology on target to end out-of-focus photos IF YOU THOUGHT digital cameras were an amazing leap forward from film, you’d better hold on to your hat, because a company called Lytro has developed a camera that it says has the potential to forever change the photographic scene What’s different about it? “Shoot first, focus later,” is the bold proclamation on the Lytro website. And after looking at some of the photographs, I think they might be onto something. A modern digital camera uses a light sensor to capture images, but the optics work much the same as those of conventional film cameras. You still need to zoom, you still need to focus, and you still need to adjust the settings. Lytro’s camera is different. It utilizes a light field sensor – a sensor that cap-

Lytro’s camera also introduces powerful software algorithms that replace mirrors, lenses and the like to produce more rapid capture of images and better control over the result. So what’s the difference in the photograph? You take a picture with Lytro’s camera, and then you decide where you want the focus to be. And you can do it again, and again, and again, producing multiple images that are focused on different subjects – all from the same photograph. Moreover, most of us know

that from the time you press the shutter button on a camera, it can take one or more seconds to actually capture the image.

Thom Greco, owner of the building at the corner of North Main and Union streets, said the bar/restaurant will remain closed until Aug. 3, at which time it will reopen, but the format may change. “I’m not sure if we will reopen as Mr. Tony’s or change the name and the format,” Greco said Wednesday. “We could decide to change the concept. We’ll decide that over the next month.” Greco said the bar will open once every 10 days to comply with state liquor laws so he doesn’t forfeit his license. He said the employees will use the time to take their vacations. Greco said he will manage the restaurant when it reopens.

On June 10, Greco and former operator Tony (Mr. Tony) Stella had a dispute over management of the bar/restaurant and Stella left the business. The restaurant continued operating with the staff that was already in place, including the chef, Peter Adams. Mr. Tony’s opened in late February. The building housing the restaurant has played home to a number of restaurants in the past, including the Gage Bar and Restaurant, Martini’s Ristorante & Bar, and most recently before Mr. Tony’s, a pizza buffet.

In addition, a courtyard for employees, off-street parking and a welcoming front porch make the

RALEIGH, N.C. — It takes up enough space to cover a billiards table, but next year it will fit inside a backpack. The electronic contraption, only in its first generation, was named this year by experts at Massachusetts Institute of Technology as one of the 10 most important technology innovations of 2010. MIT ranked the “smart transformer,” created by the FREEDM Systems Center in Raleigh, alongside recent advances in cancer genomics and synthetic cells. The digital transformer will form the electronic guts of the vaunted Smart Grid, the automated power network that is expected to replace the nation’s aging mechanical power grid in the coming decade. Relying on semibuilding stand out for employees and visitors alike. “It’s a first-class facility,” Evans said. “He’s done a spectacular job,” said Todd Vonderheid, the chamber’s president. “It just looks great. It has a unique style.” Chamber Vice President Donna Sedor said the efforts to redesign the 1941 building took parts of the city’s past and renovated them so the building and the business it houses “becomes part of the city’s future.”

conductors rather than brainless mechanisms, the device controls energy flow in both directions, managing interconnections with solar-powered rooftops and plugin electric cars, while minimizing energy waste. “Think of it as an Internet router for the electrical grid,” said Stephen Cass, special projects

editor at MIT’s Technology Review. “This contribution fits into that transformational ideal in that it will enable other changes.” While devices like the smart transformer work in a laboratory setting, it may take years before electricity providers are ready to buy the costly equipment. One hurdle for solid state components is that they last about 20 years in the field, compared to the 40-year life span of a conventional transformer. The bucketshaped device attached to neighborhood utility poles is limited to one function: It lowers voltage as electrical current passes through it. “The old-fashioned transformer is very dumb, but also very reliable,” said Alex Huang, the N.C. State professor of electrical and computer engineering who

directs the FREEDM Center. Chad Eckhardt, an independent industry consultant in Raleigh, said the FREEDM center can build all the prototypes it wants, but mass production will require engagement with a global contractor like ABB, Eaton, Siemens or General Electric. To get companies on that scale interested, utility companies will first have to commit to field-testing the smart components. Eventually the Smart Grid will be used to manage thousands of solar homes and electric cars in which power flows in multiple directions, Huang said, as opposed to the current system in which electricity originates at several large power plants and moves one way along transmission lines and down distribution lines into neighborhoods.

Lovin’ McDonald’s The economy and the stock market have hit a soft patch the last couple of months. Expect diners and investors to head to McDonald’s. McDonald’s is up about 6 percent since the stock market reached a 2011 high April 29. The S&P 500 has fallen about 6 percent. The stock has soared 148 percent in the last five years. The S&P 500 is up about 3 percent. Consumers turn to McDonald’s when the economy is uncertain. But it has a game plan to help it keep new customers when the economy improves. It’s remodeling restaurants and offering wireless access. It serves fancy coffee, smoothies and oatmeal. Its strategy works: McDonald’s serves 64 million people a day, up from 60 million two years ago. Overseas, McDonald’s is expanding in fast-

growing markets like China. Revenue in the first quarter rose 9 percent in Europe and 18 percent in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, or APMEA. Its U.S. revenue grew 3 percent. McDonald’s gets about 23 percent of its revenue from APMEA, up from 14 percent five years ago. The largest chunk of revenue, 40 percent, comes from Europe, up from 32 percent five years ago. The U.S. accounts for about 32 percent, down from 34 percent five years ago. Investors like those numbers. They also like the fact that McDonald’s raised its dividend during the recession while many companies slashed theirs. Many financial analysts think the stock has room to rise. Thirteen of the 19 analysts surveyed by FactSet rate McDonald’s a “buy” or the equivalent.
