LUZERNE COUNTY CORRUPTION SCANDAL

Two court workers won’t be disciplined

Defense: Toole deserves a break

Ex-judge seeking less jail

The court system will create new policies to head off future problems.

The Luzerne County Court system won’t take disciplinary action against two employees prominently mentioned in the recent federal corruption trial of former county Judge Mark Ciavarella, according to county President Judge Thomas Burke. However, the court system will revise court personnel policies to prevent the potential for problems in the future, Burke said. Court stenographer Angela Sallemi and tipstaff Nicholas Callen were mentioned during Ciavarella’s trial. In a media announcement in his chambers Friday afternoon, Burke said he received a report late last week from out-of-county Senior Judge Brendan Vanston, who was asked by the court to conduct an independent inquiry of the matter See WORKERS, Page 14A

Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas President Judge Thomas F. Burke says court policies will be revised.

SCRANTON – Attorneys for Mark Ciavarella aimed to hold a federal prosecutor to his words when he said the money paid the former Luzerne County judge by a developer was “not a kickback or a bribe.” The statement figured prominently in the brief filed Friday supporting the appeal of the guilty verdicts a jury in U.S. District Court, Scranton returned See CIAVARELLA, Page 14A

TOKYO — Two weeks after an earthquake and tsunami triggered a crisis at a nuclear plant, the government said Friday there is a suspected breach at a reactor — another setback that would mean radioactive contamination at the facility is more serious than once thought. Japanese leaders defended their decision not to evacuate people from a wider area around the plant, insisting they are safe if they stay indoors. But officials also said residents may want to voluntarily move to areas with better facilities, since supplies in the tsunami-devastated region are running short. The escalation in the nuclear plant crisis came as the death toll from the quake and tsunami passed the grim milestone of 10,000 on Friday. Across the

The hearing was originally set to sentence Toole, who entered a guilty plea Nov. 3 to charges he accepted gratuities from an attorney after helping the attorney win an uninsured motorist arbitration. But citing the complexity of the case, U.S District Judge Richard Conaboy turned Friday’s hearing into a chance for both sides to argue the proposed reductions.

HARRISBURG – About an hour after hearing a researcher testify that residents of Arkansas, where heavy natural gas drilling has been going on for

years, want a larger severance tax and a greater percentage of it to go to towns impacted by drilling, Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley said there would be no such tax levied in Pennsylvania. “A severance tax is off the table. It is not something that is going to be considered by us,”

Cawley said at a press conference following the first meeting of Gov. Tom Corbett’s Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission on Friday. However, Cawley said, if “identifiable impacts” to local governments can be enumerated and hard numbers to back up those impacts are provided, the commission has been charged See GAS, Page 10A

Back home following a nearly week-long trip to war-torn Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-Cogan Station, made it clear he has no doubts that the missions by American troops in the two nations are worthy ones. The freshman congressman was at the Lycoming U.S. Army Memorial Reserve Center, Williamsport, to share with military personnel and others what he learned during his time overseas. “I feel confident that what we

are sending in the way of aid is worthwhile,” he said. “There are no words to adequately explain what men and women are doing over there.” Marino visited the two nations as part of a Congressional Oversight Delegation to speak to troops and learn a bit more of the U.S. presence in the two nations. “It’s clear they (Iraqi people) do not want us to leave,” he said, noting that troops are set to withdraw later this year. Although the Iraqis desire to govern themselves, they would like U.S. troops to remain to help the nation in its continued transition as a democracy. “They have the deepest regard for our military forces,” he said. Marino was asked if Amer-

ican troops are necessary in Afghanistan, given that al-Qaida is believed to be much more of a presence in Pakistan. He said the U.S. is working with Pakistan toward resolving that problem. “We belong in Afghanistan,” he added. “They want us there.” The U.S. is successfully working to help educate much of the Afghan population in a country rich with mineral resources that could eventually yield new opportunity there, he said. He said he is behind the U.S. military intervention in Libya, but has reservations about how it was done. President Obama, he said, should have gone first to Congress before sending war planes there. “NATO needs to be the lead in Libya at this point,” he said.

OBITUARIES

By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

Give me some original titles, Marvin Hamlisch said, and I’ll compose a song. Right here. Right now. The near-capacity crowd at the F.M. Kirby Center in WilkesBarre couldn’t refuse that offer. “Two New Little Puppies,” someone called out Friday evening. “Touched By You,” shouted another. “Full Speed to Nowhere,” a third contributed. Within moments, Hamlisch was at the Steinway, fingers flying over the keys as he sang, “It feels like since you touched me, I’ve been going full speed to nowhere.” The little puppies may not have made it into the song, but nobody at the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic pops concert seemed to mind. The packed audience applauded thunderously, acknowledging it was in the presence of a master entertainer, the kind with “snappy patter and jokes” who “knows what pleases the folks.” OK, I’ll admit those lyrics weren’t part of Friday’s concert, but you’ll find them if you look for the words to “The Entertainer,” the Scott Joplin rag Hamlisch adapted for the movie “The Sting.” And they fit Hamlisch so well. He may be a musical genius, but his somewhat self-deprecating patter is as engaging as if he was everybody’s favorite Cousin Mar“We are not in a position where we can be optimistic. We must treat every development with the utmost care.” The possible breach in the plant’s Unit 3 might be a crack or a hole in the stainless steel chamber of the reactor core or in the spent fuel pool that’s lined with several feet of reinforced concrete. The temperature and pressure inside the core, which holds the fuel rods, remained stable and was far lower than what would further melt the core. Suspicions of a possible breach were raised when two workers suffered skin burns after wading into water 10,000 times more radioactive than levels normally found in water in or around a reactor, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said. Water with equally high radiation levels was found in the Unit 1 reactor building, Tokyo Electric officials said. Water was also discovered in Units 2 and 4, and the company said it suspects that, too, is radioactive. It was not clear whether the water in each unit came from the same source, officials said, but acknowledged the discovery would delay work inside the plant. Friday marked two weeks to the day since the magnitude-9.0 quake triggered a tsunami that flattened cities along the northeastern coast. With the cleanup and recovery operations continuing and more than 17,400 listed as missing, the final number of dead was expected to surpass 18,000. Kan apologized to farmers and

vin, home for a visit. On Friday he gave the Kirby crowd “songs I wish I had written,” including “Send In the Clowns” from “A Little Night Music” and “Somewhere (A Place For Us)” from “West Side Story.” He also played Oscar-nominated songs that didn’t win, joked about being a body double for both Paul Newman and Robert Redford in “The Sting,” and warned guest conductor Bobby Soper, CEO of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, “My career is resting on your shoulders.” No worries about that last bit. Though Soper admitted “I don’t know the first thing about music,” he inspired a rousing Sousa march from the orchestra, complete with a beautifully perky pic-

colo solo. All in all, the entire concert was musically marvelous and marvelously fun. And Hamlisch wasn’t the only hero of the evening. Only a few people high in the balcony were likely to notice this, but David Vaughan of Harveys Lake, on crutches and with his leg in a cast, bravely climbed step after step after step to one of the topmost rows just so he could sit with Molly Noone of Dallas. The orchestra section would have been easier, but he couldn’t find two seats together there. “And she just can’t live without me,” Vaughan said with a laugh. The concert will be repeated at 7 tonight at the Scranton Cultural Center. For tickets call 341-1568.

business owners for the toll the radiation has had on their livelihoods: Several countries have halted some food imports from areas near the plant after elevated levels of radiation were found in raw milk, seawater and 11 kinds of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower and turnips. He also thanked utility workers, firefighters and military personnel for “risking their lives” to cool the overheated facility. The nuclear crisis has compounded the challenges faced by a nation already saddled with a humanitarian disaster. Much of the frigid northeast remains a scene of despair and devastation, with Japan struggling to feed and house hundreds of thousands of homeless survivors, clear away debris and bury the dead. “It’s still like I’m in a dream,” said Tomohiko Abe, a 45-year-old machinist who was in the devas-

tated coastal town of Onagawa trying to salvage any belongings he could from his ruined car. “People say it’s like a movie, but it’s been worse than any movie I’ve ever seen.” Officials have evacuated residents within 12 miles (20 kilometers) of the plant and advised those up to 19 miles (30 kilometers) away to stay indoors to minimize exposure. The U.S. has recommended that people stay 50 miles (80 kilometers) away from the plant. Government spokesman Yukio Edano insisted that people living 12 to 20 miles (20 to 30 kilometers) from the plant should still be safe from radiation as long as they stay indoors. But since supplies are not being delivered to the area fast enough, he said it may be better for residents to voluntarily evacuate to places with better facilities.

State police expect more calls after termination of Ashley chief

Cerski turns in badge and weapon By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

ASHLEY – A state police spokesman said troopers anticipate more calls and responses within the borough after council terminated David Cerski as police chief. Council unanimously voted 6-0 Thursday night to cease employing Cerski, 48, after his pregnant ex-girlfriend obtained a protection from abuse order against him earlier in the week. Cerski was named police chief in February 2001. Council ordered Cerski to surrender his badge and borough-issued equipment, including his service revolver. He did Friday afternoon while under guard by two Luzerne County deputy sheriffs.

Cerski spent about an hour in his former office, located on the second floor of the municipal building on Main Street. The firing has left the borough of 2,790 Cerski with a police force of one, Sgt. Joseph McGlynn. Solicitor Charles McCormick said Friday he expects council to add staff to the police force. When that takes place, McCormick said he did not know. “We don’t know yet. It is my assumption council will add staff,” McCormick said. “Whether it is full time or part time, council will have to meet and vote

to hire and retain officers.” Council has relied heavily on state police for services since cutting its police force in 2010 in an attempt to balance their adopted budget. Full-time patrolman Brian Kalish was furloughed in September, and part-time officers have not been scheduled to work since July. At Thursday night’s council meeting, Councilman Joe Gorham said state police “have aided and assisted us in the past, and obviously we will look to them to fill an immediate need.” Gorham could not be reached for comment on Friday. Trooper Tom Kelly, spokesman for the state police at Wyoming, said Friday he was not aware that anyone from Ash-

ley has requested more patrols or services from the state police. Kelly did note that responses to emergency calls will likely increase now that Ashley is down a police officer. Cerski was served with a PFA that was filed by Heather Doty, 39, on March 14. Doty accused Cerski of arriving at her house while he was on duty, began to argue with her about her demand to end their off-and-on relationship and took her diamond ring, according to the PFA. “David is violent, both physically and verbally. Because of the abuse in the past, I am very afraid of him,” Doty wrote in the PFA petition. A Luzerne County judge on Tuesday granted the PFA for one-year directing Cerski to stay away from Doty.

Trying to save a city landmark County residents picket in front of historic Wilkes-Barre building to keep it from demolition. By JERRY LYNOTT jlynott@timesleader.com

WILKES-BARRE – Saving the Hotel Sterling will take make more than a few people picketing against its demolition, but that’s where Sally Healey started. She and a half dozen others Friday afternoon held hand-lettered signs in front of the building on West Market Street, drawing honks and beeps from motorists. “Don’t Bulldoze A Landmark,” read one sign. “Save Our Sterling,” read another.” “I’d like to see that done,” said Healey, a former city employee who is an

adjunct English professor at Luzerne County Community College. She recalled the hotel when it was the place to go in the Wyoming Valley. “The Sterling was the gem of the city.” But the landmark has become an eyesore with shredded plastic in its windows, boarded up doors and fenced off sidewalk. The nonprofit owner CityVest, which acquired the building in 2002, has been unable to attract a developer after spending millions of public funds on the project and have notified state and Luzerne County officials the 113year-old hotel will have to be razed. The prospect of a wrecking ball crashing into the walls brought out Ron Mrochko of Kingston. “My father (George) used to own the Old Fell House,” said Mrochko. His father tried to get help to preserve it as a historical landmark, “but nobody seemed interested in it,” he said.

It had historical significance because Jesse Fell developed a grate to burn anthracite coal which was mined throughout the region. Anthracite mining had been the leading industry in Northeastern Pennsylvania. A state historical marker stands on the site at the corner of East Northampton and South Washington streets. The building was torn down and the property made into a parking lot. The loss of the building would make it difficult for Wilkes-Barre to grow and attract new residents and businesses, said picketer Wendy Atkinson. “You can’t do that without culturally significant buildings,” said Atkinson who works for the Independent NEPA Magazine in Kingston. Allen Bredbenner picked up a sign and joined Atkinson and the others in the picket. Originally from Hazleton, he said he lives in Wilkes-Barre and works as a chef in Edwardsville.

James Herron said he didn’t remember robbing Turkey Hill because he ingested pills. By EDWARD LEWIS elewis@timesleader.com

PLAINS TWP. – A juvenile who blacked out after ingesting pills did not remember robbing a store until he noticed his sneaker and a pellet gun on a newscast, according to charges filed. Township police charged James Herron, 17, of Center Street, Pittston, with robbery, criminal attempt to commit theft and simple assault after he allegedly admitted to robbing the Turkey Hill on Maffett Street early Monday morning. Herron, who is charged as an adult, was arraigned late Thursday afternoon by District Judge Diana Malast in Plains Township. He was jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $10,000 bail. A clerk was injured during the robbery, police said. According to the criminal complaint: Police said they found the clerk bleeding from his nose and blood spatter behind the counter of the store around 4:30 a.m. Monday. A pellet gun, sunglasses, socks, a plastic bag and a hat were also found behind the counter, suggesting the clerk struggled with the robber. Police were assisted by a Wilkes-Barre police canine, which tracked a scent on South Main Street, zigzagging through yards, a road leading to Leo E. SolomonPlains Memorial Junior High School and over a fence near East Charles Street. The canine lost the scent between two homes on East Charles Street. Pittston Police Chief Robert Powers called township police on Thursday with information that a juvenile admitted to the Turkey Hill robbery. Herron allegedly told police he left his home Sunday night with his pellet gun to buy cigarettes. While he was out, he purchased five unknown type pills from a guy he knows only as “Larry,” the criminal complaint says. Police said in the criminal complaint that Herron claimed he blacked out after ingesting the unknown pills. When he awoke, Herron said he was wet and was not wearing socks or shoes. He also claimed he had an injury on his forehead. After seeing a newscast of the robbery, Herron told police he recognized his sneaker and pellet gun inside the store.

Leadership W-B leaves a legacy after 30 years By KIM ROLLMAN Times Leader Correspondent

A local dog park; handicap ramps for the elderly; signs welcoming visitors to WilkesBarre and spring flowers on the Market Street Bridge – when people look around the Wyoming Valley, they can see physical evidence of Leadership Wilkes-Barre’s impact on the local community. The program, currently celebrating its 30th anniversary in the community, has trained thousands of high school students, college students and professionals to fill leadership roles within the community . “A group of us who were active in community service, on local boards, thought that

there needed to be a way to train new leaders in this community,” said Sue Kluger, a member of Leadership Wilkes-Barre’s founding board who served as the organization’s executive director for more than 20 years. In 1981, after nine months of planning, Leadership WilkesBarre was born. Today, Leadership encompasses five programs for individuals, ranging from high school juniors to college students, adult professionals, business executives and senior citizens. All of the programs expose participants to the issues facing the local community and teach them how to work with others to solve those issues. According to Kluger, Leadership Wilkes-Barre’s participants learn of the importance of giving back to the community. She said that graduates often go on to serve on boards and in leading roles at

For attorney Joe Persico, a 1984 Leadership graduate and former member of the organization’s board, the networking opportunity provided was just as important as the training. Judge Mark Ciavarella should have recused himself based on a personal and financial relationship he had with Robert Powell, Slusser’s attorney. Luzerne County judges were previously recused from handling the case, but in a court order filed Friday, Van Jura was appointed

Rosen applied a mean of 12 percent to the $4.7 million, reducing the property’s value to $4.136 million, Gibbons said. The law requires the county to seek the appraised value. If there are no offers at that amount, a prospective buyer would have to obtain an appraisal and then work with the county appraiser on a compromise, Gibbons said.

Scranton are aging, according to Mayor Chris Doherty. As the city looks to maintain infrastructure, it must also improve it. “I think our challenges are twofold. One is how we are able to move people, whether it’s from Scranton or Northeastern Pennsylvania, to major metropolitan areas,” Doherty said, alluding to a passenger rail system. “The other challenge is the movement of goods and services throughout our state.” Thomas Lawson, executive vice president of the WilkesBarre-based engineering firm Borton-Lawson, said states and municipalities have been doing more with less for the last several years, but that hasn’t slowed the

increased cost of materials and labor. He supported research for new materials, saying, “There’s going to come a day when we can’t afford (cement) for our roads. We face global forces for our materials that dramatically impact our ability to spread our dollars further. “We can’t underfund research,” he added. Lawson said intelligent transportation systems to recognize live traffic patterns will improve road maintenance and infrastructure. Value-based bidding, he said, will allow municipalities and states to get a lower bid that offers the best level of services, as opposed to simply choosing the cheapest alternative. Local PennDOT District Executive George Roberts said the organization is anxiously awaiting a new highway and infrastructure

That’s very challenging right now,” he said. The district, which covers Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming counties, has suffered an annual $135 million shortfall in recent years, according to Roberts. “We still believe that is a way to look at fixing our existing system first,” he said. Following the hearing, Barletta said, “I’m very happy with the panelists who were very passionate in their effort to convince Washington to look at new ways, streamline regulations and do all the things that the common person knows Washington needs to do.”

happen,” he said following the hearing. “Thirty thousand people commute into New York each day, so my message to Washington isn’t ‘If you build it, they will come.’ It is that they’re already waiting at the train station.

Those arrested Friday include commercial operators and four Metropolitan Transportation Authority employees. A day earlier, two bus drivers and a cab driver were rounded up. The crackdown comes after officials said the driver of the Bronx crash had violations under an alias and his driving privileges were suspended under another name. State investigators are using facial recognition technology to identify individuals with a valid commercial driver’s license in one name and additional licenses in another.

“Qatar has been a great ally from Day One,” said Mustafa Gheriani, spokesman for opposition Benghazi city council. “It’s an Arab country to be proud of.” The United States has provided millions of dollars in equipment to many of the league’s countries, including Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Qatar has close ties to the U.S. military, a reputation for international mediation, and hosts the pan-Arab Al-Jazeera network. “Having our first Arab nation join and

start flying with us emphasizes that the world wants the innocent Libyan people protected from the atrocities perpetrated by pro-regime forces,” U.S. Air Forces Africa Commander Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward said. The international coalition confronting Gadhafi agreed to put NATO in charge of enforcing the no-fly zone, with Canadian Lt. Gen. Charles Bouchard at the helm, and hammered out a unified command structure.

More killed during protests The most widespread protests in Syria in decades erupted across multiple cities and towns Friday, prompting a brutal reaction by government security forces in which dozens of people were killed, witnesses said. “The demonstrations are spread across various points in the country,” said Najib Gadban, a Syrian human rights activist with a network of contacts throughout the country. “At least 40 people were killed, and the number is rising.” In Dara, the southern city that has served as the epicenter of the weeklong uprising, demonstrators burned a picture of President Bashar Assad and attempted to torch a statue of his father and predecessor, the late Hafez Assad, eyewitnesses said. Government forces fired on them, killing between two and 20 people, according to most accounts. “They were shooting people randomly,” a witness said. TORONTO

Poll: Conservatives will win Canadian opposition parties brought down the Conservative government in a no confidence vote Friday, triggering an election that polls show the Conservatives will win. The opposition parties held Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government in contempt of Parliament in a 156-145 vote for failing to disclose the full financial details of his tougher crime legislation, corporate tax cuts and plans to purchase stealth fighter jets. Opinion polls expect Harper’s Conservative Party to win re-election but not a majority, meaning he likely will continue to govern with a minority in Parliament, dependent on opposition votes to stay afloat. The opposition parties combined hold the majority of the seats in Parliament with 160, while the Conservatives have 143. CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C.

A North Carolina wildfire that’s burned 4,000 acres in a sprawling military base and the surrounding county started last weekend when Marines were testing weapons on a firing range, a state forestry official said Friday. High winds and low humidity have helped the fire spread since it started on Camp Lejeune on March 19, said Bill Swartley, of the N.C. Division of Forest Services. He didn’t have specifics about what kind of weapon sparked the blaze. So far, no structure damage or injuries have been reported. More than 2,000 acres have burned on the 126,000-acre Marine base.

With trust fund, Baby Jessica hits 25th birthday Girl who fell into well is now married mom who has access to $800K given by strangers following 1987 accident. By BETSY BLANEY Associated Press

MIDLAND, Texas — Baby Jessica is all grown up. She’s Momma Jessica now. A toddler who tumbled down an abandoned water well and got trapped more than two decades ago turns 25 today, a milestone that gives her access to a trust fund of up to $800,000 donated by thousands of sympathetic strangers who spent 21⁄2 days glued to the television until she was free. Jessica McClure Morales is now a contented stay-at-home mother of two, and her youngest is 18 months old — the same age she was when her accident drew the eyes of the world to this oilpatch city. She lives less than two miles from the site of the 1987 rescue. "That’s all Jessica has ever wanted was to be a mom and have a family," said her father, Chip McClure. "She’s a good mom and keeps her eyes on her kids. She’s certainly a doting mother."

Jessica McClure, 18 months, is carried to safety in October 1987.

McClure Morales has no memory of being wedged in the pipe or of the 15 operations that followed her ordeal, according to her father. A scar from her hairline to the bridge of her nose is still visible where her head rubbed against the wall of the well. She also lost a toe to gangrene because one leg was pinned

above her head in the underground shaft. These days, she and her husband run a mobile car- and truck-washing business out of their home, according to a recent interview she gave to the Dallas Morning News. In October 1987, Chip and Cissy McClure were poor teenagers struggling to make ends meet during the depths of the oil bust. While visiting her sister, Jessica’s mother left her in the yard while she went to answer the phone. Moments later, Jessica came upon the 8-inch well opening and fell inside. Her plight captivated an immense television audience. Alone and 22 feet below ground, Baby Jessica sang about Winnie the Pooh. It was "a nightmare that got worse and worse," recalled her father, now 42, who makes his living selling aircraft in Tyler. When rescuers finally brought her to the surface, her head was bandaged. She was covered with dirt and bruises, and her right palm was immobilized to her face. The image was ingrained in millions of people’s memories and won a Pulitzer Prize for Odessa American photographer Scott Shaw.

The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Police and sheriff’s departments in some states ravaged by methamphetamine may have to scale back efforts to bust manufacturers because federal funds dedicated solely to cleaning up the toxic sites have dried up and departments won’t want to get stuck footing the bill, several law enforcement officials predict. The Drug Enforcement Administration announced last month that Congressional funding for its Community Oriented Policing Services Methamphetamine Program has been exhausted, and that renewed funding in the next few years was unlikely. The COPS program provided $19.2 million for meth lab cleanup in the current fiscal year. The announcement left the states most reliant on the funding, including Tennessee, Alabama, Michigan, Mississippi and Arkansas, scrambling to squeeze money out of already stretched budgets to pay cleanup costs that average about $2,000 per lab but can cost as much as $10,000 per instance. The term lab is used to refer to any place meth is made, including in soda bottles inside cars.

Luzerne candidate wants council cut

Kathleen Pajor holds a public meeting to go over the issue, which one member opposes. By STEVEN FONDO Times Leader Correspondent

LUZERNE – Resident and borough council candidate Kathleen Pajor called a citizens’ meeting Thursday to discuss her petition to reduce the number of council members from its current seven members to five over the next two election cycles. “The primary reason for this effort is to save money,” Pajor stated. “Other local communities of this size govern with five members, so there’s no reason we need seven on council.” Pajor said she recently spoke with Luzerne County Bureau of Elections Director Len Piazza to gather information about getting her petition initiative on the ballot for the upcoming election. “I just wanted the residents to know what I’m doing. As a matter of fact, Dallas just went through a similar process to reduce their council,” Pajor added. A number of Luzerne residents were on hand to question Pajor’s intent.

COURT BRIEF WILKES-BARRE – A Sugarloaf Township man charged with abusing a boy withdrew his guilty plea to a related charge Wednesday. James A. Antonelli 66, of West County Road, appeared before Luzerne County Judge David Lupas, where he said he wished to withdraw his guilty plea to a charge of criminal conspiracy to commit indecent assault and stand trial. Lupas granted Antonelli’s request, and did not set a specific date for Antonelli to face a jury of his peers. According to court records,

“I understand that you want to save money,” said borough resident, Ray Martin, “but no one’s answered how this changes the way things are governed in this town.” Several Luzerne council members were in attendance at the meeting, as well, and were vocal in their respective support of or opposition to Pajor’s proposal. “This is a personal vendetta against the council,” council member Mary Ellen Schell said. “You’ve had an agenda ever since the police department issue.” She was alluding to the council’s decision last summer to reinstate the borough’s oncedefunct police force. The new police force began patrolling July 1. “People don’t want to run for office in this town. It’s the same faces,” said Councilman Kurt Santayana. “Most of us run unopposed. “Reducing the number of council members means we have a chance for new blood and new ideas with each election,” Santayana added. According to Pajor, once she collects 150 signatures, she will present her petition to the Luzerne County Court to schedule an open hearing on the matter. a teen boy told state police troopers in June 2010 that he was abused by Antonelli and Jennie Marie Moore in April 2007. The boy said on a day when it was cold and rainy, he was intentionally locked out of the residence. State police allege the boy claimed he was forced by Antonelli to perform a sex act on Moore, and was assaulted if the act was unsatisfactory. Luzerne County Children and Youth Services obtained letters written by Moore stating how the child was instructed to touch her nude body, according to court papers. Moore is also awaiting trial on similar charges.

Joseph M. Bartoletti

Clemence R. Skovronski

March 24, 2011

oseph M. Bartoletti, 80, of Wyoming, entered into eternal life on Thursday, March 24, 2011, at Little Flower Manor under the care of Hospice of the Sacred Heart. Born in Parsons, Joseph was a son of the late Salvatore and Philomena Chevilli Bartoletti. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by brothers, Michael, Samuel, Guido, James, and Anthony; infant twin sister, Claire; and mother and father-in-law, Blanche and Angelo Gatrone. Joseph is survived by his wife of 57 years, the former Jean Ann Gatrone; son Joseph, West Pittston; daughter Karen and husband, Frank W. Schall, of Wyoming; grandchildren, Ryan Bartoletti, Ashley Bartoletti, and Jonathan Schall; sister, Anne Giardina of Wyoming; brother, Albert and wife, Joanne, of Parsons; and several nieces and nephews. He was a graduate of James M. Coughlin High School, class of 1949. Joseph was a member of the National Guard during high school, enlisting in the 109th Field Artillery, Battalion 28, afterward. He served as a sergeant First Class in the U.S. Army in Germany during the time of the Korean War. He often recounted his story of the 109th’s tragic train wreck of September 11, 1950, en route to Atterbury, Ind. Joseph was originally scheduled to ride that train but was ordered to drive a truck to Indiana instead. Joe, wanting to be with his friends on the train, resisted, but his commander insisted that he drive. He followed his orders that day and never forgot his fallen comrades in the years to come. Joseph was employed by Westinghouse for 30 years as a machinist/ repairman and truck driver. He was a member of the Golden Years of St. Anthony’s, Exeter, enjoying many trips with his wife and friends. He was also a Past Commander of the Society of the 28th Division AEF. Joseph, a kind-hearted gentle-

man, was often nicknamed “the Mayor” for the many friends he encountered everywhere he went. He had a great love of history and flower-gardening, and would always lend a helping hand to a stranded driver, often offering words of wit and wisdom both solicited and unsolicited to family and friends. Most importantly, his love, admiration, and pride for his family will remain. He loved his wife, Jean, dearly and often praised her cooking and baking talents. Joseph was especially proud of the three beautiful grandchildren that his son and daughter blessed him with, often bragging excessively. A special note of thanks goes to his many caregivers at Little Flower Manor, Hospice of the Sacred Heart, Home Sweet Home, Comfort Care, Dr. Joseph Radzwilka, and Dr. Patrick J. Kerrigan, and the Wyoming Ambulance. You are all angels sent by God.

Stanley Knick Jr. announces candidacy for county council

GAS Continued from Page 1A

with finding ways “to help local governments meet those impacts.” Cawley acknowledged that there has been discussion in the Senate about assessing gas companies “impact fees” that would go directly to local municipalities adversely affected by drilling activities. He believes much data had been gathered on the cost of local impacts last year when the legislature was considering a severance tax, and he hopes legislators delay legislation on impact fees until the commission can analyze the data and make a recommendation to Corbett. The governor has given the commission four months to study all aspects of Marcellus Shale drilling in the commonwealth and present him with a report and recommendations. Cawley said Corbett charged the commission, which is comprised of key state department heads, oil and gas industry representatives, environmental group leaders and representatives of local governments, with creating a roadmap “to create jobs, preserve and protect our air, land and water and make Pennsylvania a national model for energy independence. To help achieve those goals, he appointed commission members to chair work groups that will focus on public health, safety and environmental protection; economic and workforce development; infrastructure; and local impact and emergency management. Cawley said the commission “got off to a very good start” during Friday’s hearing, which included testimony from three scheduled speakers and several members of the public. First to testify was Scott Perry, director of the state Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Oil & Gas Management. Perry detailed the exponential growth in drilling over the last five years and outlined the laws that regulate the industry and

DEP’s own regulations for drillers, including new stricter standards for well construction and the discharge of treated drilling wastewater into rivers. Perry said his bureau has 78 well inspectors and six supervisors – a 50-percent increase from 2005. And if more staffing is needed, the department can fund additional inspectors through the permit fees drillers pay. When the hearing broke for lunch, Lee Ann Murray, staff attorney for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, said she was surprised and happy to hear the background of some of the commission members and that the DEP has “a good starting point.” “Hopefully through these discussions, we’re going to build upon that and tighten up some of the areas that we’re concerned about, particularly in water quality,” said Murray, who was representing commission member Matthew Ehrhart, director of the foundation’s Pennsylvania office. When the hearing resumed, Tom Murphy, co-director of the Penn State Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research, provided data on economic impacts of gas drilling and projections for what could be expected in the future. Murphy suggested several areas the commission should to consider to best exploit the positive economic impacts, such as workforce training, as well as

possible negative results that could occur decades from now, such as a sharp drop in demand for workers and housing. Teri Ooms, executive director of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barrebased Institute for Public Policy and Economic Development, shared with the commission the results of socio-economic data collected in drilling states between 1997 and 2007 and the results of surveys of people in those states and in Pennsylvania. Ooms shared the attitudes of residents of the Banett and Fayetteville shale plays in Texas and Arkansas, respectively, about gas drilling there. She said most Pennsylvania residents in northeast drilling areas and the adjacent counties of Lackawanna and Luzerne have not made active efforts to educate themselves on gas drilling. She said most Pennsylvanians were distrustful of information provided by the drilling industry, researchers and state officials, and, while they believed gas drilling would improve the economy, it would have some negative effect on the environment. During public comment, some people extolled the positive impacts of drilling in Pennsylvania, others expressed concerns about it, and still others vilified it, claiming it has ruined their way of life. The commission will next meet on April 27 at a time and place to be arranged.

Democrat Stanley Knick Jr., 51, of Dupont, has announced his candidacy for Luzerne County Council. Knick attended Pittston Area High School, Keystone Junior College and Indiana University of PA, where he studied criminology and played football. He is self-employed and owns Knick Fence Co. Knick is also a sewer inspection officer and assistant code enforcement officer for Dupont. Serving his fourth year as Dupont Council President, Knick is also a member of the Luzerne County Democratic Committee, representing Dupont in the third dis-

trict. Knick is active in several community organizations. He is president of the Dupont Knick Lion’s Club and co-chairman for the surplus food bank. He is past financial secretary and past steward of the Polish American Citizen’s Club in Dupont. He is also a member of the Masonic Lodge and the YMSofR of Holy Mother of Sorrows Parish. Knick said he looks forward to the challenge of using his governmental and business skills to solve prob-

lems in county government, his release says. “He knows that an efficient county government can help improve the economy and enhance job creation. He believes that we cannot put the burden on the taxpayers to balance our budget any longer,” the release said. If elected, Knick said he will find “innovative ways” to make the county financially stable, the release said. He said he is willing to work with all county employees to accomplish this task and make Luzerne County a better place to live. He and his wife, Maureen, have been married 22 years. The couple has three children.

dicial system, but that he’s up to the task and his background proves he’s ready for the job. Sklarosky said his 16 years as an attorney and large amount of time spent in the courtroom is the experience that makes him the right choice. “I can’t imagine a better training background,” Sklarosky said. Though Sklarosky said he does not have an extensive background in civil matters, he has represented clients in civil lawsuits, wills and other aspects. His work as a defense lawyer, Sklarosky said, as an assistant public defender is what’s important. “I know the courtroom because I’ve been there practically every day since I started practicing law,” Sklarosky said when he announced his candidacy in February. If elected, Sklarosky said he would ensure there is transparency in the court system because that is “the chief way we will begin to rebuild the trust of the people.” Sklarosky said his father, attorney Joseph Sklarosky Sr., taught him morals and values essential to life, and that “just because you’re a lawyer, does not mean you’re in the system.

in the system if you have connection to the political machine.” Sklarosky, he said, is not a politically connected last name. Sklarosky said in the 2009 election, he spent between $170,000 and $180,000 on his campaign. This year, he said, he will spend significantly less – about $50,000 to $60,000. He’ll take campaign contributions from anyone willing to donate, he said, except those with criminal charges pending or a criminal background. There is a $500 maximum donation allowed to contributors who are nonfamily members, he said. “I call it the way I see it. I got that from my father and my grandfather,” Sklarosky said. “At least according to my mother.”

OTHER OPINION: TRIBUTE

Liz’s legacy goes beyond big screen

LIZABETH TAYLOR defined what it meant to be a film legend for much of her Hollywood career. The two-time Oscar winner, philanthropist, AIDS activist and lover of men died Wednesday at 79 from congestive heart failure. Plenty of screen goddesses existed before the 12-year-old Taylor took Hollywood by storm in “National Velvet.” No actress since has occupied that category of celebrity as dramatically as she did. For decades, Elizabeth Taylor was considered one of the world’s most beautiful women. The jewelry she wore, the perfume she promoted, the causes she headlined and the seven men she married were evi-

dence of her passion for life. Somewhere between the emotionally charged “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and “Butterfield 8,” for which she won Academy Awards, and the big-budget spectacle “Cleopatra,” in which she established a new standard of exotic radiance, Taylor became a bigger draw than her films. Elizabeth Taylor was more than the sum of her celebrity, philanthropy and renown as an artist. She was a genuinely thoughtful and loving human being who was adored by millions around the world. She might have started out as a glamorous actress, but she left this world with a more precious legacy – a beautiful soul. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

n reading the account by Times Leader reporter Matt Hughes of the recovery of the body of Lillian Calabro from the Susquehanna River on March 22, I am appalled at the verbiage. This victim was not “hauled” from the river; “recovered” is the best and only word your newspaper can use. Also, in the United States we do not use the metric system, so most of your readers have no clue what “a few hundred meters” means! Jon Hess Wilkes-Barre

Wayne, Pike counties target job development

egarding Times Leader reporter Bill O’Boyle’s coverage of U.S. Rep Barletta’s field hearing at Wilkes University this week (“Education system criticized”): The solution for job creation is the collaborative model of work force development that is taking shape in Wayne and Pike counties. We are “building talent together,” and Workforce Wayne is the nonprofit group that is connecting local leaders in business, education, economic development, employment services, community and government – with the goal of an improved work force delivery system. The problem these counties face is similar to other rural areas in the United States. Students leave for opportunities elsewhere, the remaining work force is not trained and we don’t have responsive systems in place for business to interact with schools. The leaders in the collaborative Wayne/Pike model have identified the creation of a Career and Technical Education center as a primary need. Formerly called “vo-tech,” the CTE center would prepare students and adults in initial programs such as building/construction, pre-engineering tech, health occupations and welding. Entrepreneurship also is part of the jobs solution for rural areas in particular, and it should be a focus of the CTE center and kindergarten through 12th-grade programs. Looking abroad, we see how the CTE model can work. The Harvard Graduate School of Education’s “Pathways to Prosperity” study, released in February, illustrated that between 40 percent and 70 percent of students in north and central Europe take a vocational education path combining classroom and on-the-job learn-

ing. The point of Rep. Barletta’s hearing was to learn about policies that might be hampering job development. For Wayne and Pike counties, the barriers are the lack of funding for the two things that we know work: keeping employers at the table and focusing a CTE center on programs including entrepreneurship. Workforce Wayne is positioned to do both and transform this region. Jennifer Porter Director of workforce initiatives Workforce Wayne Honesdale

Plymouth government does not work for people

previously wrote a letter to the editor concerning “our secret Plymouth borough government.” Several days later, borough Coordinator Joseph Mazur criticized my opinion and stated there were no secrets in Plymouth. In 2009 borough taxes were increased 12 percent. In 2010 taxes were again increased (43 percent). In 2011 our taxes were again increased (67 percent), for a total property tax increase of 112 percent in three years. On Dec. 30, 2010, at 11 a.m., council again raised taxes. The 10-minute meeting was attended by three taxpayers. Council President Charles Lasinski stated it was “a bare-bones budget.” When a taxpayer asked why it contained so much of an increase, one councilman replied, “Do you want us to lay off a police officer?” This meeting was concluded without a full response to the question or allowancefor further discussion. Council voted “yes” on the matter, and the meeting was adjourned. Plymouth’s council is a herd of sheep led by Mazur. It’s amazing that one guy can tell five others what to do. Plymouth Borough Council needs independent-thinking individuals who can do the people’s business. We need to take the government to the public and have an open and transparent government. Most people became aware of the tax increase after they received their

tax notices in the mail. We need the residents’ input and opinions before developing a course of action. The day of the 10-minute meetings should be over. Clif Madrack Plymouth

Use the power of voting to get good government

n May 17 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. you have a date with destiny. Your future is at stake on this day, because it involves voting for candidates who will help to manage many facets of your life and especially your taxes. May 17 is Primary Election Day, and everyone 18 years old and older shouldn’t miss getting to their voting places. If you are not registered to vote, you have until Monday, April 18, to do so. You can contact Luzerne County Voter Services at 825-1715 for a registration form or go online and download the form. I urge you to get registered to vote, get informed about the issues and about the candidates who desire to represent you. Contrary to what some people might like you to believe, the primary election is just as important as the November election. The results of the primary election determine which candidates will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. If you cannot get to your polling place on any election day, you can vote by what’s called an absentee ballot from where you are, whether it be from home, a facility, out of town and even overseas. Whether you rent or own a home, you are a taxpayer. Voting gives you the power to help manage the taxes you are paying on your property or the items we purchase at retail stores. In Pennsylvania we pay 6 cents in taxes on every dollar on many items. Your 6 cents and other taxes are supporting numerous local and state needs as well as the education of our children. Think about what you are supporting or not supporting, and vote for candidates who will respect not only your desires but every cent of your taxes. Our government and other social systems are only as good as the voters want them to be, which is often exhibited by voter turnout. The general conditions of our neighborhoods, or quality of services, is a reflection of voter turnout numbers. Simply stated, we are what we vote for. It is up to each of us to be the managers of our government and that is only accomplished by voting for the most ethical and qualified candidates. Linda J. Urban Wilkes-Barre

Move begins to keep Skrep, others in kids suit Attorneys for parents and children are seeking more time to file their complaint. By MARK GUYDISH mguydish@timesleader.com

SCRANTON – Attorneys representing juveniles and parents suing ex-Judge Mark Ciavarella and others filed federal court papers Friday arguing a judge should not dismiss Luzerne County and various county officials – including former Commissioner Greg Skrepe-

to determine what, if any, disciplinary action was warranted. Vanston concluded that Callen and Sallemi did not violate any provision of the county court human resource policy and procedure manual. Sallemi and Callen were interviewed by Vanston and fully cooperated with his inquiry, Burke said. The senior judge also advised the court to amend its personnel manual to prohibit all gifts and gratuities, loans and other businesses or financial transactions,

The filing includes a letter from the county attorney, Timothy Myers, to the judge in which Myers argues the efforts to prevent dismissal of county defendants are “a desperate attempt to plead around” the motion to dismiss. The filing also includes 64 pages of the final report from the Interbranch Commission on Juvenile Justice, a board set up to review what happened in Luzerne County’s juvenile courts and recommend changes to avoid a recurrence. The commission called the fail-

except those of a nominal value, between or among all court employees, including supervisors and judges. Vanston also recommended deletion of a policy provision that permits a judge to exempt his or her personal staff from the policy, Burke said. Burke said these changes will be implemented in the “very near future.” During his opening statement in the Ciavarella trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod said several people inside the county courthouse delivered packages to former president judge Michael T. Conahan, including Conahan’s tipstaff, Callen.

Zubrod said the packages contained cash payments from attorney Robert Powell regarding the placement of juvenile offenders at a private detention center in Pittston Township. Internal Revenue Service agent Ben Wylam testified during the trial that Sallemi received a wire transfer from a company owned by Conahan. In October 2009, The Times Leader reported Sallemi had been among the guests who went on a 2005 trip to the luxury Florida condominium owned by the wives of Conahan and Ciavarella. Sallemi was promoted to chief stenographer by Ciavarella in January 2009 and was given a

$21,000 raise, according to court records. About half of that raise was later cut by the next administration when Ciavarella vacated his judgeship, reducing her salary to $67,150. Burke said the current court personnel policy does not deal with “certain interactions” between a supervisor – including a judge – and their subordinates. For example, an interest-free loan to a subordinate is not prohibited, CLARK VAN ORDEN/THE TIMES LEADER he said.

– free use of a New Jersey beach home owned by the attorney, Harry Cardoni – should legally count toward sentencing even though Toole had used the home three separate times. Either proposal could shorten the sentence because federal guidelines call for more time in prison if the gratuity tops $10,000. Nocito also argued Toole had shown remarkable rehabilitation from severe alcohol and gambling addictions, thus deserving a “downward departure” in the sentencing guidelines. In making that case, Nocito said Toole began drinking in high school, increasing to daily consumption through his time on the bench, downing as much as a “30 pack” of beer in a night. The addictions strained relationships with Toole’s wife and children. Went into rehab Yet after his conviction, Toole voluntarily entered rehabilitation as an in-patient at the Marworth treatment facility in Waverly for nearly two months, Nocito said, and now attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings daily, reconciling with his fam-

tention centers and the placement of youths in the facilities. Conahan pleaded guilty to a racketeering conspiracy charge in July and is awaiting sentencing. A jury convicted Ciavarella of taking a total of $997,000 in 2003 from developer Robert Mericle who built the PA Child Care Center in Pittston Township and the Western PA Child Care Center in

treatment facilities owned by Attorney Robert Powell. Those centers were at the hub of charges against Ciavarella’s charges. Prosecutors argued Ciavarella accepted money from Powell and Mericle in exchange for actions from the bench that helped the facilities. A jury found Ciavarella guilty of charges related to some payments from Mericle but acquitted him on charges related to money from Powell. Powell and Mericle both pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing.

county defendants seeking dismissal from the suit have ignored “the compelling facts put forward by the plaintiffs, especially those relating to Defendant Gregory Skrepenak’s conduct, and instead repeatedly attack the plaintiffs’ counsel, claiming that they are playing ‘fast and loose’ with the facts, have pushed the ‘ethical envelope’, and have engaged in ‘bad faith pleading’.” The paperwork rejects those claims, insisting that, given more time, they can prove their argument is legitimate.

ures systemic, saying in the introduction that “it is plain ... that corruption in the Luzerne County Courthouse has been deeply ingrained for many years.” Skrepenak’s agreement to plead guilty to corruption charges is included in the filing, as is a transcript from the trial of former county judge Mark Ciavarella in February. The transcript includes testimony by Robert Mericle, the developer who built PA Child Care and Western PA Child Care, the two private juvenile detention and

nak – from the suit. The attorneys want to file an “amended complaint” that they insist will give good reason not Powell to dismiss what they call “Luzerne County defendants” from the case, but they are seeking more time to file that complaint. Friday’s paperwork was a lengthy argument justifying that delay. In it, the attorneys contend that

ily in the process. This “extraordinary rehabilitation” came despite the fact that Toole had been forced to resign as a judge and couldn’t get a job, applying to “literally hundreds” of places, Nocito said. Toole finally got hired as a cashier and “stock boy” for a business in State College, and lives on weekdays in a Bellefonte hotel owned by his boss, doing maintenance work there in lieu of rent. “No work was below him,” Nocito said. Yet despite these setbacks and surgery for a herniated disk, Toole remained sober. Nocito cited letters from Toole’s State College employer and abuse rehabilitation counselor that praised the former judge’s recovery. But U.S. Assistant Attorney Michael Consiglio recounted three instances – one each in November and December 2009, another on New Year’s Day 2010 – when Cardoni was driving away from his office and spotted Toole in another car. Each time was more alarming, Consiglio said, but the New Year’s Day event caused Cardoni to fear for his life when he spotted Toole at 8:15 a.m. and Toole followed him for more than a mile. Cardoni “became the victim,” Consiglio said, noting such behavior likely violated terms of Toole’s release pending sentencing, which called for Toole to

Butler County. Mericle pleaded guilty on Sept. 2, 2009 to failing to disclose to the Internal Revenue Service that he knew the money was going to Ciavarella and Conahan. Attorneys William Ruzzo and Al Flora included a portion of the transcript of that hearing in arguing for a new trial or acquittal for Ciavarella. They focused on statements made by Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Zubrod, who also prosecuted Ciavarella, about the money Mericle paid Ciavarella.

steer clear of people involved in the case. Such a violation could arguably be used to increase Toole’s sentence, Consiglio said. Nocito countered that Toole was returning from a morning AA meeting, to which Conaboy quipped “It might be fair to say it didn’t work.” Cardoni takes stand Cardoni, who had his law license suspended, testified at length prior to the discussion of Toole’s alcoholism. Cardoni owns a home in Long Beach Island, N.J. as an investment property and rents it out. He testified that Toole used the house in 2005, 2006 and 2008 without charge; though prosecution and defense both agreed the 2005 use should not be considered in sentencing because Toole revealed it after being charged. Records showed that, in 2008, the house never rented for more than $6,800 a week, and usually for about $6,000, a point Nocito stressed. Nocito also had Toole’s son testify that he recalled only using the house two nights both years.

“This is not a kickback or a bribe in any sense. It is a common practice,” Zubrod said, explaining the reason the government entered into plea agreement with Mericle. Zubrod added that the money was a “finder’s fee” similar to what Mericle paid “hundreds of times before and was not related to the office that the judges held or any decision by the judges.” The attorneys maintained that U.S. District Judge Edwin Kosik was wrong when he did not allow them to include Zubrod’s statements as part of their de-

They also argued that because Mericle, who testified against Ciavarella, said the money paid the former judge was a finder’s fee, it should favor the defense and the verdicts should be overturned on racketeering, conspiracy to conduct racketeering and money laundering conspiracy.

summer and did not check on how often a person uses the facility. He also said he had no lease signed by Toole. Cardoni also testified that, in 2008, after hearing of a federal corruption probe, he suggested to Toole that the two create a “paper trail” to make it appear as though Toole paid for the house. Toole agreed. Cardoni said he estimated the rental value at $7,500 plus the $900 for a property management company that took care of the place, and that he gave that much to Toole. Toole later met Cardoni in a parking lot and gave him a check for $7,500 and a bank envelope containing $900 in cash. Nocito argued the $7,500 was meaningless in determining the value of the gratuity because it was a number Cardoni pulled out of the air. “He could have come up with any number,” Nocito said. But Conaboy countered that the money “doesn’t just represent what Cardoni said; that represents what Mr. Toole did.”

sentencing. Ciavarella was convicted on several counts and has appealed. And Cardoni testified he annually gave gifts to Toole and several other judges, including lobster tail and kielbasa – “crustaceans and kielbasa,” as Nocito put it. Nocito argued those gifts were likely worth less than $250, the threshold at which a judge would have to report the income. Consiglio countered that it added to the total amount of gratuities, and showed a pattern of Toole accepting gifts. Nocito also argued that, by case law, only one of the free uses of the beach house should figure into the sentencing because Toole was charged with only one official act that benefited Cardoni. Cardoni had testified that, prior to Toole’s appointment of a “neutral arbitrator” in an arbitration case, Toole’s tipstaff had approached Cardoni and asked “Who do you want appointed?” Consiglio said the case cited by Nocito applied to “bribes” – money given before the action – not “gratuities” which are given after the action. He said the federal sentencing guidelines clearly say the number of gratuities should be considered, not the number of acts. Conaboy said he will try to rule on Nocito’s objections by the end of next week. He has reset Toole’s sentencing to April 8 at 10 a.m. in Scranton.

fraud should not stand because of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, according to the defense attorneys. The ruling limited the criminal statute to bribes and kickbacks and Ciavarella’s conduct was outside of those actions, his attorneys said. Ciavarella filed false financial statements with the state for the years 2004 through 2007 and his attorney said at worst it could be “undisclosed self-dealing to further his own financial interest.” The defense attorneys asked for an acquittal or that the ver-

dicts on the racketeering, racketeering conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy be overturned on the grounds that the charges were filed after the 5year statute of limitations expired. In further arguing for a new trial the defense said Kosik abused his discretion when he allowed the government to present evidence that Ciavarella presided over cases involving Mericle and Robert Powell, who was coowner of the juvenile detention centers at the center of the kickback scheme.

The rout to victory

WBS is 0-4 at Binghamton this season. N.Y. team wins 5 of 8 games in season series. By TOM VENESKY tvenesky@timesleader.com

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – It’s tough to put a finger on why the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins had yet to win on the road against the Binghamton Senators this season. Entering Friday’s contest, the Penguins came in 0-3 in Binghamton. They left 0-4. Behind the play of 19-yearold goaltender Robin Lehner – who stopped all 31shots he faced – the Penguins SENATORS fell to the Senators 3-0, the third time they have been shut PENGUINS out this season. The Penguins finish up the season series against Binghamton with a 35-0-0 record, including a dismal 0-4 record at the Veterans Memorial Arena. “Just a tough building,” said winger Chris Collins. “The crowd is right on top of you and it’s a smaller ice surface so things happen quicker. My whole career I always thought it was a tough place to play.” The loss drops the Penguins to 51-19-0-1 on the season. While the Penguins don’t return to Binghamton again during the regular season, they could come back during the playoffs. With Friday’s win, Binghamton is only three points behind Norfolk for the fourth playoff spot in the East Division. Still, the prospect of returning to Binghamton isn’t an issue to the Penguins. “The playoffs are a whole different world. It would be a different story,” Collins said. The way things started on Friday it seemed as if the Penguins

Brady Morningstar scored 18 points and Kansas, playing like the dominant No. 1 seed in a historic NCAA regional full of underdogs, knocked off Richmond 77-57 on Friday night to move one victory from returning the Final Four for the first time since its 2008 championship. “We were trying to get past, and they were shoving us,” Kansas guard Mario Little said of the pregame encoun-

years. “I looked up at the clock and it was 10-8 their favor, and the next time I looked at the clock is when I went off at halftime and it was 40-15,” North Carolina coach Roy Williams said. “I knew we were doing very well to say the least.” Those 15 first-half points were the second-fewest allowed by North Carolina in a half in 144 NCAA tournament

Dunmore crushed in 2A title game Laird up by 1 at Bay Hill; District 2 champion falls hard to Villa Maria Academy, which wins its third straight crown. By GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

STATE COLLEGE — Just before the Class 2A girls title game tipped off Friday, Villa Maria Academy’s fans were already shrieking with delight and yelling in unison "Three-peat!" The aptly named Victors needed four minutes to get going before using a 21-0 spurt to run away from Dunmore to earn a third consecutive PIAA crown. Abbey Steudler scored 17 points and defensive-minded Villa Maria held its opponents without a field goal for more than 12 minutes in the 62-39 rout to tip off state championship weekend at the Jordan Center.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Martin Laird loves when he can smash a driver, and that carried him a long way Friday at Bay Hill. Laird reached three of the par 5s in two shots, converted one of them into an eagle and wound up with a 7-under 65 for a one-shot lead over K.J. Choi and Spencer Levin in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It wasn’t just the par 5s. Even without any wind in the afternoon, Laird hit driver on the 384-yard fifth hole to set up a simple pitch and anoth-

Yankees need more than logic

THERE AREN’T many talent evaluators who believe the Yankees are good enough to get to the World Series not now, not yet, not unless Brian Cashman can pull off some monster trade to close the talent gap with the Red Sox. But don’t try running that logic by the core of loyalists who like what they see in spring training. And for whatever remains unseen, there’s always faith. Faith, as in the belief that Derek Jeter has a rebound year left in him, or that pitching coach Larry Rothschild can turn A.J. Burnett into a thinking man’s pitcher. Or most importantly, clinging to the axiom that nothing is as impressive as it seems from afar — not even the Red Sox, despite their on-paper weaponry. You can call it optimism or nonsense; spin it any way you like. But to deliver the Yankees right to the Fall Classic’s doorstep, you’re going to need more than logic. It’s going to take a leap of faith — possibly five of them.

1: Mariano Rivera won’t get hurt or begin his decline phase. At 41, the great closer’s age is very much on ownership’s mind it sparked the front-office feud that led to the signing (and overpayment) of Rafael Soriano. “God forbid anything ever happens to Mo, at least we’ve got a backup plan,” said one team elder. That’s theoretically true, but Soriano doesn’t come close to intimidating hitters the way Rivera does, despite his superior radar-gun readings. Rivera is as fit and athletically gifted as anyone on the Yankees’ roster. If anyone could pitch forever, it would be him. But he can’t: In the past, almost every reliever Rivera’s age had retired or was in serious decline, and that includes Lee Smith, the all-time saves leader (done by 39), and Hall of Famer Bruce Sutter (retired by 35). Trevor Hoffman was effective until his age-41 season, then turned to vapor during the 2009-2010 offseason, losing 5 mph off his fastball. Rivera has seen his gun-readings erode, from 94 to 91 mph, which explains his strikeout ratio falling to 6.8 per nine innings last year, his lowest in four seasons. Scouts say Rivera still can thrive at 91, but his location has to be perfect. “His margin for error is much smaller than it used to be,” a team source said. 2: Derek Jeter still can hit .300 (or close to it). There’s been no end to the speculation about Jeter’s 2010 slump. Was it an aberration, or the start of an ugly, unraveling of a Hall of Fame career? Age is a huge factor here, too, as the captain will turn 37 in June. Significant? You bet. Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar hit just .262 after turning 34. Barry Larkin, a career .300 through his age-36 season, batted only .266 in his twilight. Jeter has a new swing now,

WILKES-BARRE TWP. – For more than a thousand families, this weekend might be considered a mini vacation or muchneeded time away from home while lodging in the WilkesBarre area for the Pennsylvania Junior Wrestling Championships. For some who live in Luzerne To see additional County, the threephotos, visit day experience is www.times anything but a valeader.com cation. Nearly 500 volunteers at Mohegan Sun Arena have worked relentlessly since Thursday, some of the workers amassing more than 15 hours a day. One of the volunteers is Wyoming Area High School varsity coach John Ratajczak, who was a big reason why the event featuring more than 1,100 wrestlers ages 7 to 14 came to the area each of the last two years. He is the floor manager for the tournament and is a member of the board’s committee. His work weekend started Thursday when he helped organize and set up during an eight-hour shift. On Friday, he spent about 16 hours at the arena arriving at 6 in the morning and not heading home until the event’s conclusion around 10 p.m. Ratajczak is also involved in the Penn Elementary League, which is supporting the tournament, and most of the volunteers are from the local wrestling organization. Other workers represent other area clubs. The volunteers are donned in four different-colored T-shirts and are taking care of such tasks as working clocks by each of the 10 mats, hospitality assignments, helping youngsters get ready for their matches or by working security. The volunteers did such a stellar job on Friday, said Tourna-

ment Director Schuyler Frey, that an unscheduled break occurred in the early evening hours because the event was ahead of schedule. “It’s definitely a great group of people,” Frey said about the volunteers. “They know what they’re doing. They’re enthusiastic and do a great job.” The hours have been piling up for Frey this week at Mohegan Sun Arena, but he says it all pays off in the end. “Feels like this is home,” he said. “It is a lot of time, but as we get going with this and we get all the good feedback and we get a lot of good wrestling it’s just all worth it. The enjoyment of wrestling and that it’s a good sport and we’re doing a good thing for the sport.” Several area wrestling clubs are seeing dividends from this weekend’s event, including learning how to put on a major tournament, along with potential financial benefits, but that’s not all.

For the next three years, the tourney will be held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center in Harrisburg. “I don’t think people realized

how much we brought in last year,” he said. “It was great for the whole area, not just wrestling.” Action wraps up today with wrestling beginning at 8 a.m. and ending after the conclusion of the 13-and-14-year-old finals, which are slated to begin at 8:30 p.m.

waited out the first period before going to work in the second. After both teams hit posts – David Marshall for the Penguins and Jim O’Brien for the Senators – Binghamton got the puck past Curry during a power play when Andre Benoit one-timed a pass inside the far post at 14:18. Minutes later, the work of Binghamton’s Roman Wick put the Senators up 2-0 when he skated into the Penguins zone, stickhandled through the legs of Corey Potter and slid the puck in on Curry, who made the save but left it on the doorstep for O’Brien to put

PLAINS TWP.—Live racing returned to Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on Friday night, two days after the track canceled its card for only the fourth time in its 32-year history. Wednesday night’s program was called off because of a weather forecast that included snow and sleet, according to Director of Racing Dale Rapson. “We were concerned about the safety of the horsemen that were shipping in to race. We had a substantial amount of horses coming in from Delaware and New Jersey, and we didn’t know about road conditions.” The racing season began Tuesday night, but there are less than 300 horses stabled at the track this time of year, Rapson added. “Sixty to 70 percent of our horses are shippers right now. If we had to rely on just the horses we have on the grounds, there would be a lot of three- and four-

horse fields.” The decision to cancel was made Wednesday morning. Even though Pocono Downs has an excellent track surface, the icy conditions might have proved disruptive if racing wasn’t canceled, Rapson said. “We didn’t receive any complaints from horsemen or the fans. In fact, a lot of them thanked me.” All four of the track’s racing cancellations were weather-related. Before Wednesday, the most recent was in the summer of 2008, due to a heat wave. “We were conducting day racing, and the heat index was over 100,” said Rapson. “The racing commission has guidelines pertaining to heat that we have to abide by.” Safety is always the track’s main concern. “We put the safety of drivers, horses and fans first and foremost,” Rapson added. “We hate to cancel, but in Wednesday’s kind of conditions, we had to.” Racing is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday throughout the 2011 season, which concludes Nov. 12. Post time is 6:30 p.m.

home. The Senators put the game out of reach early in the third period when a turnover in the neutral zone led to a Binghamton 3-on-0 breakaway. Ryan Keller skated down the slot and slid the puck through Curry’s legs for a 3-0 lead in the period’s first five minutes. After that, Binghamton was content to focus on defense and let Lehner continue to ride his hot streak as the Penguins outshot them 14-4. But even with Curry pulled for the extra attacker during a power play with just under four minutes remaining,

the Penguins still couldn’t get anything past Lehner. Penguins coach John Hynes said despite the 0-4 record in Binghamton, the building had nothing to do with Friday’s loss. “It had nothing to do with the rink. We lost the special teams battle, that’s the number one thing,” Hynes said.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Brad Lidge, who has been slowed this spring by shoulder soreness, is expected to start the season on the disabled list. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES

DL likely for Lidge

he Phillies shut down closer Brad Lidge on Friday with shoulder T soreness and say he is likely to begin

the season on the disabled list. The 34-year-old right-hander made his first appearance in nearly two weeks Thursday. He started the ninth inning against the Minnesota Twins with two outs, but was pulled after giving up a home run and back-to-back walks. “Opening day — I won’t be ready based on what they’re telling me,” Lidge said Friday. “We’re going to have to rest it for a while, and it’s up to them how long they want to rest it for.” Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. confirmed that Lidge would be shut down and likely begin the season on the DL.

NEW YORK YANKEES

Report: Millwood signs deal

A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that right-hander Kevin Millwood has agreed to a minor league contract with the New York Yankees. Millwood would get a $1.5 million, one-year contract if added to the 40man roster, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal had not yet been announced. He would have the chance to earn $3.5 million more in performance bonuses: $500,000 each for five, 10, 15, 20 and 25 starts. He would get an additional $1 million for 30 starts. If Millwood is not added to the major league roster by May 1, he can opt out of the deal. NEW YORK METS

Beltran to play OF today

Carlos Beltran plans to play the field for the first time this spring in a minor league game today. The New York Mets right fielder hopes to play five full innings in the game coming off a 5-for-11 performance in a minor league intrasquad scrimmage Friday. He served as a designated hitter March 6 in his only Grapefruit League game before being shut down for more than a week with the tendinitis that resulted from overcompensating for a right knee he had surgery on in January 2010. Beltran participated in a simulated game Thursday that included baserunning and outfield work. SAN DIEGO PADRES

Ailing Latos to miss start

San Diego Padres pitcher Mat Latos won’t make his next scheduled start today because of a sore right shoulder. Padres manager Bud Black said Friday that Latos complained of a sore shoulder and skipped Wednesday’s bullpen session, two days after making his last start. Latos threw 90 pitches in four-plus innings against the Chicago White Sox on Monday, allowing three earned runs on eight hits and three walks. Latos had been in line to pitch the season opener at St. Louis on Thursday. The right-hander was 14-10 with a 2.92 ERA in 31 starts last season. PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Beimel to miss opener

Pittsburgh left-hander Joe Beimel won’t be ready for opening day, leaving the Pirates without their main offseason bullpen acquisition. Beimel has been hampered much of spring training by injuries to his forearm and elbow. The 33-year-old is healthy and has resumed throwing off a mound, but said Friday that he needs time to get into game shape.

Blanton bears down, blanks Braves The Associated Press

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Joe Blanton blanked an Atlanta Braves split squad for six innings en route to a 3-1 win on Friday. Jimmy Rollins hit a two-run homer in the first to give Blanton all the offense he would need. Philadelphia third baseman Placido Polanco was 0 for 2 with a pair of groundouts in his first game since hyperextending his left elbow March 15. He said afterward that he still wasn’t 100 percent but didn’t believe the injury would hold him back any longer. Blanton, the fifth starter in Philadelphia’s ace-stacked rotation, retired his first eight batters, three by strikeout, and limited Atlanta to five hits. He struck out four and didn’t issue any walks. Twins 6, Orioles 5 FORT MYERS, Fla. — Delmon Young hit a two-run homer and Scott Baker pitched six solid innings to help the Minnesota Twins beat the Baltimore Orioles. Jake Fox hit his ninth home run of the spring and Adam Jones his fifth for Baltimore. Nolan Reimold also went deep. Orioles starter Brad Bergesen was hit on the right forearm by Denard Span’s line drive in the first inning. Bergesen left the game after throwing only four pitches, but X-rays were negative and the injury was determined to be a bruise. Young, limited early in camp with a

turf toe injury, homered in the second off minor leaguer Mike Ballard, who allowed six runs and six hits in one inning. Rays 9, Pirates 5 PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — Justin Ruggiano drove in three runs to lift Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh. Ruggiano’s two-run single off Joel Hanrahan snapped a sixth-inning tie. He added an RBI in the eighth as the Rays won their fifth straight spring training game. Rays starter Jeff Niemann allowed five runs and nine hits while striking out six in six innings. Pirates starter Charlie Morton yielded five runs, five hits and walked three in five innings. Marlins 6, Mets 5 JUPITER, Fla. — Anibal Sanchez threw three-hit ball for 5 1-3 scoreless innings in his longest outing of the spring for Florida. Mike Stanton had two more RBIs, one each on a double and a sacrifice fly. He has nine RBIs in two games since he made his Grapefruit League debut Thursday after missing most of the spring with a right quadriceps strain. Chris Coghlan played center field for the first time since March 16. He entered as a defensive replacement in the sixth inning. Ike Davis homered for New York. Angels 10, Athletics 3 PHOENIX — Jeff Mathis hit a tworun homer and Matt Palmer pitched six strong innings as Los Angeles beat

Oakland. Mathis’ homer, his first of the spring, highlighted a four-run third against Brandon McCarthy. A one-out single by Mathis in the fifth drove in Alberto Callaspo, who led off the inning with a double. Howie Kendrick added three hits and two RBIs for the Angels. Padres 10, Reds 4 GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Reds righthander Edinson Volquez pitched five shaky innings in a tuneup for his start on opening day. Volquez allowed three runs on nine hits and four walks in his final outing before facing Milwaukee next week. Ryan Ludwick homered and Jorge Cantu had three hits for the Padres. Brewers 7, Indians 4 PHOENIX — Carlos Gomez hit a grand slam to lead Milwaukee over Cleveland. George Kottaras also homered and Rickie Weeks had three hits for the Brewers. Travis Hafner hit his first home run of the spring for the Indians, who had their six-game winning streak snapped. Cubs 6, Mariners (ss) 3 MESA, Ariz. — Randy Wells tossed 5 2-3 solid innings after manager Mike Quade announced he had earned the No. 4 spot in Chicago’s rotation. Wells gave up five hits and three runs while striking out eight as the Cubs won their third straight. Starlin Castro hit a three-run double in the

seventh to rally Chicago from a 3-2 deficit. Diamondbacks (ss) 6, Dodgers (ss) 3 TUCSON, Ariz. — Armando Galarraga went six innings and Arizona beat Los Angeles in a split-squad game that benefited victims of the January shooting that killed six and injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Dallas Green, brother of victim Christina-Taylor Green and grandson of former major league manager Dallas Green, threw out a first pitch. So did Ken Dorushka, who was injured in the shooting. Galarraga allowed three runs and five hits. Nationals 3, Cardinals 2 VIERA, Fla. — Tom Gorzelanny and Kyle Lohse both pitched well for six innings as Washington beat St. Louis. Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman played for the first time since March 14. After missing 10 games with a strained left groin, he went 0 for 3 and played six innings in the field. Braves (ss) 5, Tigers 3 KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Rookie pitcher Brandon Beachy allowed two hits in six scoreless innings, Chipper Jones hit his fourth homer of the spring and Atlanta beat Detroit. Beachy, who found out a day earlier he had won a spot in the Braves’ rotation, struck out six and walked one while lowering his ERA to 1.13. Jones has 15 RBIs and is batting .411 in Grapefruit League games.

ready for major league duty last year. “We had to get a young starter back, which was Scherzer, and a young center fielder,” Dombrowski said. “Those were necessities if we were going to make that type of deal, and then the other players we’d try to fit around that.” Austin Jackson was given the difficult task of replacing Granderson, and he stepped into the center field spot and performed well, hitting .293 with 27 stolen bases and finishing second in the AL Rookie of the Year vote. And he might not even be Detroit’s best acquisition from the trade. Scherzer struggled at the beginning of last season, but he went 11-7 with a 2.46 ERA from May 30 on, averaging more than a strikeout an inning during that span. The 26-year-old Scherzer will team with ace Justin Verlander to form what could be one of the

league’s best 1-2 starting tandems. “Last year, I tried to dial it up too much. This year I am settling down and doing things different,” Scherzer said. “ I worked on things and it got better after I made some adjustments.” Coke and Schlereth, a pair of lefthanders, pitched out of the bullpen last season, but Coke is now joining the rotation, where he once pitched for the SWB Yankees and could be more valuable.

PITTSBURGH — James Neal scored in the third round of a shootout and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the New Jersey Devils 1-0 on Friday night in a game dominated by goalies Marc-Andre Fleury and Martin Brodeur. Fleury made 21 saves for his third shutout of the season and 19th of his career. He also stopped Brian Rolston, Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias in the shootout. Brodeur extended his NHL shutout record to 116 with his sixth of the season. He made 26 saves and stopped Alexei Kovalev in the shootout. Kris Letang missed the net leading off the tiebreaker.

“I’m so proud of our all my teammates because ... we all set the tempo for the game,’’ the junior said, a shiny new gold medal dangling around her neck. Lisa Mifsud added 16 points and Karlee McBride had 12 and seven rebounds for the Victors (28-2), who led by as much as 20 midway through the third quarter after starting the game 0-for-4 shooting. Ashley Murray had 10 points for District 2 champion Dunmore (26-6), the first girls team from the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area to play for a PIAA crown since Bishop Hoban won in 1999. The Lady Bucks got off to a promising start, hitting their first three from the field and taking advantage of misfiring Villa Maria to lead 6-2 with 3:52 left. But the Victors turned up their trademark defensive pressure, harassing ball handlers in the backcourt and tipping away passes all over the floor. Dunmore was held to a foul shot in a onepoint second quarter — on a foul at the buzzer, no less — to go into

Maybe Jeter can defy history, which reminds us, only two shortstops 37 or older have hit .300 Luke Appling (three times) and Honus Wagner (twice). If hitting instructor Kevin Long truly has restored Jeter’s linedrive capability, Jeter will serve capably as the No. 2 hitter. If not, Joe Girardi is facing the inevitable (and unenviable) task of dropping Jeter to No. 7.

the locker room trailing 23-7. The Lady Bucks didn’t hit their next field goal until early in the third quarter. “I think Villa Maria tightened up a bit defensively and got some easy baskets and that sort of gave them some more momentum,’’ Dunmore coach Ben O’Brien said. It has been Villa Maria’s recipe for success all season. “That’s all we practice,’’ said McBride, whose older sister, Kayla, graduated after last seapredecessor Dave Eiland couldn’t. That gives the team’s hierarchy reason to believe that Burnett, whose 10-15, 5.25 ERA performance in 2010 was the worst by a starter with at least 180 innings in Yankee history, will be much, much better in 2011. Burnett has trimmed away some of the overflow in his delivery, stepping directly toward the plate instead of fractionally toward first base. His arm angle is slightly higher, too, giving his slider much-needed downward tilt hence, the healthy 2.77 ERA in March. We’ll see, however, if Burnett sticks to his reeducation in Fenway next month. If he’s back to bouncing his breaking pitches in the dirt, all of Rothschild’s therapy will be as good as vapor.

Those were Rodriguez’s worst numbers since he became a regular in 1996. But the slugger showed up to camp lighter and more flexible, and has hit the ball with such authority during spring training, one major league executive said, “ARod worries me, and I mean that in a bad way for my team, good way for the Yankees.” One caveat, though: A-Rod can thrive only to the extent he’s being protected by Robinson Cano in the No. 5 spot.

Against a zone, Villa Maria missed three 3-pointers and managed just two foul shots by Mifsud during the first four-plus minutes to fall behind 6-2. It was the high point of the game for the Lady Bucks, outscored 16-1 in the second quarter. “I thought our players played hard, Villa Maria is a very good team. They played very good defense.

Mifsud found Adrienne Kloecker, who missed a transition layup but hit two fouls shots to make it16-6 with 3:41left in the second quarter. McBride followed with a jumper, then Mifsud hit a deep threepointer from the right wing after an exchange of turnovers for a 21-6 lead with 1:08 left in the second.

Crazy? Probably. But faith requires that kind of stretch. Remember, Beckett is coming off a hugely disappointing season, pockmarked by a 5.78 ERA, 151 hits in127 innings and a team-high 20 home runs. Terry Francona bluntly called his former ace’s performance a “disaster.” John Lackey was just as much of an enigma, with a 4.40 ERA that was his highest since 2004, and a 1.42 WHIP that was the worst of his career. The Sox are placing their faith in the two right-handers, crossing their fingers for bounce-back years, not just from one, but both.

Semyon Varlamov stopped 21 shots for Washington, which played its second straight game without captain Alexander Ovechkin, shut down Monday for seven to 10 days with an undisclosed injury. The Capitals, first in the Southeast Division with 96 points, won in Philadelphia on Tuesday night for their 11th victory in 12 games. Sabres 4, Panthers 2 BUFFALO, N.Y. — Jordan Leopold and Drew Stafford scored 13 seconds apart in the third period and Buffalo moved closer to securing a playoff spot. Stafford had two goals and an assist, while Pominville had a goal and assist for Buffalo, which won back-to-back games for the first time in three weeks. Ryan Miller was sharp in making 22 saves as the eighth-place Sabres (37-28-9) moved within two points of the idle New York Rangers.

er birdie. He closed his round with a 321-yard tee shot on the ninth and a 12-foot birdie. Choi put in three hybrids to go with his driver and two fairway metals, all to get ready for the Masters. It paid dividends at Bay Hill with a tournament-best 64. Levin didn’t play his best in the morning, but his putting carried him to a 70. Levin made all four of his birdie putts outside 15 feet to stay atop the leaderboard until Laird’s late surge. Tiger Woods is still in the game, too. Woods raised his arm on the ninth green as his 20-foot birdie putt rolled in for a 4-under 68, leaving him six shots behind going into the weekend. Considering how so much of his year has gone, this would be considered progress for the six-time winner at Bay Hill. Laird was at 9-under 135. “I’m driving well and putting well,” Laird said. “That’s a pretty good combination, especially on a golf course this long.” Temperatures are expected to soar on the weekend, and today figures to sort out several players still in the mix. Charles Howell III, who needs a win to play his hometown tournament in two weeks at Augusta National, had a 65 and was three shots behind with Hunter Mahan

and Steve Marino. Mahan turned his fortunes around quickly. He went out in 38 to fall seven shots behind, then ran off four straight birdies to start the back nine, and finished with a shot that hit the pin on the 18th for his seventh birdie in a round of 69. Choi has never shot better than 67 at Bay Hill, and he wasn’t expecting a low one Friday. Along with changing his bag to include the three hybrids — his irons begin with the 7-iron — he saw Pat O’Brien last month to help with his putting and realized his posture was off. Choi then went back to his old putter, and it was a happy reunion. For a short time, it didn’t seem as though so many players would be in the mix. Levin walked off the sixth green during his morning round and noticed that he already had a six-shot lead. He didn’t make his first bogey of the tournament until the 14th hole of the second round, then dropped another shot on the 17th. He wound up with a 70 and had a two-shot lead when he finished, then fell one behind to Laird. Marino played with Levin and was far more crisp, especially a series of iron shots around the turn that left him easy birdie putts. Marino had a 67, giving him yet another chance to earn his first PGA Tour title. Already this year he had a chance in the Sony Open and the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.

Butler doesn’t want to remove glass slipper

But second-seeded Florida’s aiming to Southeastern Conference in Saturday evemake clock strike midnight on tourney ning’s Southeast regional final. If Butler succeeds, the Bulldogs will be Cinderella, coming off two upsets. back in the Final Four for a second-straight By BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS — Butler’s Brad Stevens likes being the young coach from the small school whose second straight run deep into the NCAA tournament is capturing the imagination of the basketball-loving public. More important to him, though, is how his players see it. “The cool part is — our guys — it’s not above their imagination,” Stevens said of upsetting one higher seed after another. “It’s just what they think that we have to do next.” After knocking off a pair of major conference powers in their last two tournament games — top-seeded Pittsburgh of the Big East and fourth-seeded Wisconsin of the Big Ten — Butler (26-9) will try to send home second-seed Florida (29-7) of the

season. Gators coach Billy Donovan made it clear he’s the last person who needs to be convinced of what a threat the feisty Bulldogs are to the big-money, big-school programs that entered the tournament as higher seeds and with higher expectations. And Donovan’s reasons have to do with more than just what Butler has done. “You’re starting to see the teams that maybe are non-BCS teams moving on and advancing in this tournament,” Donovan said, referring to George Mason’s Final Four appearance in 2006 and Butler’s national title game appearance last year, not to mention the exploits of VCU and Richmond, who were playing in regional semifinal games on Friday night. “Butler has proven that they’re as good as any program in the country,” Donovan said. “You don’t get to a national championship game or the amount of sweet 16s

they’ve gotten to by just being a Cinderella story. That doesn’t happen year after year.” One subplot to this matchup is Florida’s history of ending Butler’s season. None of the current regulars on either team were a part of that, but most remember when the Gators ousted Butler in the 2007 regional semifinals and most have been told about the Gators’ dramatic 69-68 overtime victo-

ry over Butler in the first round in 2000 — a game that ended on Mike Miller’s running jumper as time expired. “Everyone in the program is pretty aware of what’s taken place,” said Butler guard Ronald Nored, adding that he’d received encouraging text messages from members of both the 2000 and 2007 Butler teams. “We want to just do what we can for those guys.”

KANSAS Continued from Page 1B

ter. “But we tried to let our play do the talking, and I think we did a good job in the first half.” There was no doubt about that. The Spiders passed up open shots, bounced balls into the Kansas bench and found themselves down 31-9 with more than six minutes left before halftime. The Spiders looked jittery in the what was only the school’s second round-of-16 appearance. The Jayhawks, meanwhile, were calm and confident in reaching a fourth regional final under coach Bill Self. Justin Harper led Richmond with 22 points. “We weren’t able to slow them down in any way,” Richmond coach Chris Mooney said. Thomas Robinson had 12 points and 14 rebounds, and Marcus Morris scored 13 for Kansas. The Jayhawks have yet to be tested so far this tournament, winning by an average of nearly 18 points. The Southwest regional is the first in NCAA history with three double-digit seeded teams. Kansas awaited the winner of 11thseeded Virginia Commonwealth and 10th-seeded Florida State. It’s given the Jayhawks what appears — at least on paper — to be an easy-looking path toward the Final Four. The Jayhawks can make it to Houston next week without having beaten a seed higher than ninth-seeded Illinois. If that happens, Kansas will join Michigan State in 2001 and North Carolina in1991as the only schools to get that far without having to beat a seed higher than nine. And only five teams have reached the Final Four by feasting on teams seeded eighth or lower, according to STATS LLC. One of those schools? The 2008 Jayhawks. That run ended in the Alamodome with Self winning his first title at Kansas. Three years later, the Jayhawks looked every bit at home in San Antonio. Self downplayed the pregame tunnel dustup as “typical stuff, but it wasn’t anything.” Spiders guard Kevin Anderson, who had 14 points, said both teams were just eager to play and chalked it up to usual aggression. Still, Self waited for Richmond to exit through the tunnel at halftime before letting his players walk down the same tunnel toward the locker room. Kansas was already ahead 41-22. The Jayhawks shot 48 percent from the floor and made 9 of 19 3-pointers. Morningstar was 7 for 11 from the floor, including four 3-pointers. Josh Selby added nine points. Anderson and Harper were the only Richmond players in double figures. Anderson, who hit the winning shot to upset Vanderbilt in the tournament opener, averaged 26.2 points in Richmond’s previous five wins over ranked teams. But the senior was 5 of 17 from the floor in his final game and missed all six of his 3-pointers. “We didn’t really play that well tonight, so finishing like that is tough,” Richmond center Dan Geriot said. “There was a lot left in there for us to have competed a little better.”

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Lamont Jones spent his last spring break staring at his dorm room walls in Tucson, fuming over Arizona’s failure to make the NCAA tournament after 25 straight trips. Kemba Walker had a few similarly sleepless nights in Storrs when Connecticut also missed the tournament last spring. “It happens to all great programs from time to time, but I just decided I wouldn’t go through that again,” Walker said. So did Jones, Walker’s friend since junior high. Two dynamic guards from New York have played major roles in getting two perennial powers back to the brink of the Final Four just one year after they fell out of the field. Arizona (30-7) and UConn

games, and the Marquette’s 20 percent shooting from the field came on 6-of-30 shooting that was the second lowest by an opponent in an NCAA tournament game. Just a year after missing the NCAA party, the kids from Chapel Hill are ready to steal the show. Tyler Zeller had 27 points and 15 rebounds, while John Henson added 14 points and 12 rebounds for the second-seeded Tar Heels in the rout at the Prudential Center. Harrison Barnes added 20 points and six rebounds. North Carolina (29-7) will face Kentucky on Sunday for a spot in

(29-9) will meet in the West regional final today at Honda Center, ending one perennial power’s spring resurgence and sending the other to Houston. “This is the kind of game you expect to play when you go to a school like Arizona or UConn,” said Jones, known to everybody as MoMo. “These are the teams that play for championships, and it’s good to get Arizona back on top.” Redemption was a recurring topic of conversation in Orange County on Friday as both teams prepared for the final 40 minutes before the Final Four. The Wildcats are back in the national title hunt and on top of West Coast hoops after missing the tournament in coach Sean Miller’s debut season. With a roster built around California talent with an East Coast pugnacity, Arizona won the regularseason Pac-10 title before taking apart defending national champion Duke in Thursday’s regional semifinals. “I didn’t expect the dramatic change to happen so fast,” said Kevin Parrom, a Bronx native

and Arizona’s top bench scorer. “It feels good that we’re making our own mark Lamont Jones in the history Arizona player books.” Derrick Williams believes Arizona grew into its talent down the stretch, and nobody did it better than the high-flying forward from nearby La Mirada, Calif., himself, scoring a career-high 32 points during the Wildcats’ evisceration of Duke. Williams knew Arizona’s history when he decommitted from Southern California along with Jones and Solomon Hill to join the Wildcats two years ago — and he’s also talked to fans hungry for another title because their T-shirts from Arizona’s 1997 championship are getting a bit tight. “It was only a matter of time before we bought into what the coaches were selling us,” Williams said. “It’s a chain reaction, and you can believe in what they’re saying when

Houston. “It means a great deal to all of us,” Zeller said. “We’ve been working for this all year and finally put ourselves in a situation and we have to go out and play Sunday.” The Tar Heels looked scary against Marquette. Everyone knew they could run up and down the court with the best in college basketball. Friday’s dominating defensive performance was an eye-opener. “I still think we can play better,’’ Carolina guard Dexter Strickland said. “We haven’t played to our potential.” Marquette’s miserable game meant the Big East’s contingent of 11 teams has dipped to one — Connecticut. “We just couldn’t do anything right in the first half, and that’s just not the way we play,” said

Davante Gardner who led the Golden Eagles with 16 points and six rebounds. “It was uncharacteristic of us, and actually, it was pretty embarrassing.” Marquette had only two bad games down the stretch, and both came in this building. Three weeks ago, they were blown out by a sub .500 Seton Hall team in a game that seemingly put the Golden Eagles out of the NCAA tournament. Marquette, however, played well enough in the Big East Conference tournament to make the show then knocked off Xavier and fourth-seeded Syracuse. Going against North Carolina was a mismatch.

you’re at a winning program like ours.” Miller humbly gives much of the credit for Arizona’s resurgence to the culture of winning built by retired coach Lute Olson, whose brief appearance on the overhead scoreboard prompted loud chants of “Luuuute!” from the Wildcats fans who are expected to dominate the building again Saturday. Miller knows programs build a generational momentum that one down season can’t kill. The Huskies also stayed home last year, but it was just one disappointment in a few years of trouble for veteran coach Jim Calhoun, who dealt with punishment for recruiting violations and what the NCAA labeled “failing to create an atmosphere of compliance.” UConn scuffled through a .500 regular season in Big East play this winter before winning five games in five days to take the conference tourney, followed by this remarkable crosscountry NCAA run. “It’s never unexpected to me. It’s joyous to me,” Calhoun said.

with 5 seconds remaining as the fourth-seeded Wildcats stunned top-seeded Ohio State in the East regional semifinals. Senior center Josh Harrellson held his own against Ohio State super freshman Jared Sullinger, scoring 17 points and grabbing 10 rebounds as the Wildcats (28-8) advanced to play North Carolina on Sunday for a trip to the Final Four. DeAndre Liggins added 15 points for the Wildcats, who beat Ohio State for the first time in the NCAA tournament behind a suffocating defense that limited the Buckeyes to 32 percent shooting. Sullinger led Ohio State (34-3) with 21 points and 16 rebounds, Kentucky 62, Ohio State 60 but the Buckeyes fell in the reNEWARK, N.J. — Brandon gional semifinals for a second Knight knocked down a jumper straight season.

TODAY’S GAMES

NO. 2 FLORIDA VS. NO. 8 BUTLER WHERE: New Orleans Arena TIME: 4:30 p.m. TV: CBS, WYOU-22 THE SPREAD: Florida by 3. ENROLLMENTS: Florida 52,112; Butler 4,200 ELITE EIGHT APPEARANCES: This is Florida’s fifth; the Gators are 4-0. This is Butler’s second; the Bulldogs are 1-0. RECORDS: Florida 29-7, Butler 26-9 HOW THEY GOT HERE: Florida d. No. 15 UC Santa Barbara 79-51, d. No. 7 UCLA 73-65, d. No. 3 BYU 83-74 (OT); Butler d. No. 9 ODU 60-58, d. No. 1 Pittsburgh 71-70, d. No. 4 Wisconsin 61-54. KEY STAT: Butler shoots 73.1 percent from the free throw line; Florida is at 66.5 percent. THE BUZZ: Florida can’t be as sloppy offensively as it was against BYU if it wants to beat Butler. The Gators need to be patient against a smart Butler team on both ends of the court. Offensively, the Gators have more size up front and need to take advantage, not jack up 3-pointers. Defensively, Butler runs a lot of screens, and Florida especially has to worry about Bulldogs G Shelvin Mack from beyond the arc. Look for Butler’s guards to have success applying defensive pressure against Florida’s backcourt. Mack, Ronald Nored and Shawn Vanzant, a Florida native (from Tampa), should be able to force some turnovers from Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton. Walker, especially, has to play smart basketball; he makes too many ill-advised trips into the paint and can be prone to wild passes. When he plays under control, Florida is difficult to beat. Keep an eye on the boards. Florida’s size helps it outrebound opponents by 5.8 per game, and the Gators need that type of advantage in this one. But Butler’s Matt Howard, who is 6-8, always seems to find a way to neutralize bigger opponents, and he has cut way down on his fouls this season. As for those who say Butler prefers a slow pace, each team averages 72.1 points per game. Still, Butler probably wouldn’t care if this game were in the low 60s because the Bulldogs generally are more patient on offense than Florida.

NO. 3 CONNECTICUT VS. NO. 5 ARIZONA WHERE: Honda Center, Anaheim, Calif. TIME: 7:05 p.m. TV: CBS, WYOU-22 ELITE EIGHT APPEARANCES: This is UConn’s 10th; the Huskies are 3-6. This is Arizona’s ninth; the Wildcats are 4-4. RECORDS: UConn 29-9, Arizona 30-7 HOW THEY GOT HERE: UConn d. No. 14 Bucknell 81-52, d. No. 6 Cincinnati 69-58, d. No. 2 San Diego State 74-67; Arizona d. No. 12 Memphis 77-75, d. No. 4 Texas 70-69, d. No. 1 Duke 93-77. KEY STAT: Arizona shoots 40.3 percent from 3-point range; UConn is at 33.8 percent. THE BUZZ: Both rely heavily on one player UConn on junior G Kemba Walker and Arizona on sophomore F Derrick Williams. Williams is the only Arizona player who averages in doublefigures, while Walker and freshman swingman Jeremy Lamb are the only Huskies who average more than 10.0 points. Thus, it’s important for both teams to limit the complementary players. The Wildcats love to get the ball inside to Williams, who is proficient at getting the ball back to open shooters on the perimeter. Arizona is coming in off a dominating second-half performance in its victory over Duke, and if the Wildcats can carry that over, they will win this. But playing at that high a level for a second game in a row is going to be difficult. UConn shoots just 43.5 percent from the field, but the Huskies also average 14.1 offensive rebounds per game, which enables them to get off 60 field-goal attempts per game; Arizona averages 54 field-goal attempts. The Wildcats allow 9.8 offensive rebounds per game, and keeping the Huskies off the offensive boards is going to be vital for Arizona. Both teams will be comfortable with a fast pace, and while Arizona certainly looked tough in beating Duke, the Huskies are the more physical team. In addition, in Walker, UConn has a player who can create his own shots when the offense bogs down.

Bank looking to expand in county

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Luzerne National Bank Corp. has announced an agreement to purchase the First Columbia Bank & Trust Co. branch at 10 Dessen Drive in Hazle Township. Luzerne Bank’s president said the bank is already eyeing other expansion possibilities in the county. Robert C. Snyder, president and chief executive officer of Luzerne National Bank, the parent company of Luzerne Bank, said the Hazleton-area branch gives

the bank a presence in Southern Luzerne County. That is the only area in the county where Luzerne Bank doesn’t have a branch. “For us, it’s a logical extension of what we are, and who we are and what we’re about,” Snyder said. “We are Luzerne County’s bank and Hazleton is part of Luzerne County.” The bank has seven branches currently with the one on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre being the closest geographically to Hazleton. That’s a 25-mile drive. Snyder

said “that area has been in our strategic plan for some time.” In a fortuitous twist, CCFNB Bancorp, Inc., the parent company of First Columbia Bank & Trust Co., put its only Luzerne County branch up for sale earlier this year. The two sides have been in negotiations for the past three months and on Friday announced an agreement that would allow Luzerne Bank to acquire the Hazle Township branch office of First Columbia with approximately $17.1 million in deposits.

Snyder said that while there is no timesleader.com guarantee all customers would keep their deposits with Luzerne, he said it would be up to the customer to close their accounts and move them elsewhere. The bank’s four tellers, branch manager and customer service representative will be offered to retain their positions, Snyder said. The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including the receipt of approval by regulatory authorities. It is anticipated to close in First reported at

Snyder said that the Hazle Township branch acquisition might not be the last announcement Luzerne makes. “There are other branches (we’re looking at acquiring),” Snyder said. “Our goal is to continue to grow. We’re looking for other opportunities.” In addition to the WilkesBarre office, Luzerne Bank has branches in Luzerne, Harveys Lake, Plains Township, Swoyersville, Wyoming and Dallas. It also opened a loan production office in Scranton three weeks ago.

Europeans seal crisis plan

Rodano’s opens party room

BRUSSELS — Portugal’s slide toward a financial rescue vexed the European Union’s efforts Friday to stamp out its government debt crisis with deals on a permanent bailout fund and new rules on how euro countries run their economies. EU leaders praised their “comprehensive package” aimed at calming markets and fixing some of the euro’s vulnerabilities, but even as they did Portugal’s 10year bond yields rose to 7.80 percent, a record high that shows investors fear the country might not be able to pay off debts that are coming due.

Wilkes-Barre Mayor Thomas Leighton and Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce officials participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday evening for the new private party room at Rodano’s on Public Square. The room seats up to 90 and can be rented out for functions or used as overflow for busy nights.

PNC ends flower show ties

Portuguese officials have said those rates make it too expensive for them to borrow — and they will need to tap bond markets soon. A top European Union official said the EU had the financial muscle to rescue Portugal. It has already bailed out Greece and Ireland, where troubled government finances led to their governments being effectively cut off from further bond borrowing and needing help to avoid default. “If Portugal asks for help, then it would be assumed that this would happen shortly, and in that case the rescue shield would be enough,” said JeanClaude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg and the main spokesman

for the group of countries that use the euro. Portugal’s crisis took some of the shine off a two-day EU summit where leaders put the final touches on an agreement to set up a permanent, 500 billion ($706 million) bailout fund to replace the temporary one that expires in 2013. They also signed off on new rules for closer economic cooperation to limit debt, improve growth and prevent more crises and boosted the temporary bailout fund so it can lend its full 440 billion ($622 billion) allotment, instead of keeping some of that as reserves to ensure a top bond rating. Countries bailed out after 2013, meanwhile, will get lower interest rates on emergency loans.

3 area Walmart stores to get wine kiosks

By ANDREW M. SEDER aseder@timesleader.com

Three area Walmarts are on the state Liquor Control Board’s approved list to get wine kiosks this summer. The contract between the state and Simple Brands to have Pronto Wine Kiosks installed in those Walmarts still needs the approval of the state Attorney General’s office. Stacy Kriedeman, spokeswoman for the LCB, said the

Walmarts along Route 315 in 2:19 p.m. Pittston Township, Main Avenue in Taylor and Airport Road in Hazle Township are among the nearly two dozen locations approved by the board. The new machines would increase the number of wine kiosks in the state to 55. They’re currently in grocery stores across the state, including the Wegmans stores in First reported at

Dickson City and WilkesBarre Township. The kiosks debuted last fall locally but after hundreds of glitches and malfunctions across the state, they were taken off line Dec. 21 for mechanical and technological upgrades. Simple Brands of Conshohocken made the repairs and the machines went back into service Feb. 1. The kiosks offer limited varieties and charge a $1 service

fee. A customer selects with a touch-screen monitor, inserts a driver’s license, blows into a breathalyzer and swipes a credit card. A state employee in Harrisburg watches a monitor to verify the info. Then the machine illuminates the row where the selection is located, unlocks a door and rotates the plastic guard around the bottle to allow the customer to remove it.

In suburban Chicago, it’s paradise to be a homebuyer. At the Millbrook Pointe development in quaint and pristine Wheeling, a $269,000, brick-andstone townhouse comes with $25,000 in free upgrades, including wood-burning fireplaces, allstainless steel kitchens and marbled bathrooms tricked out with double-bowl vanities and whirlpool soaker tubs. Down the highway at the Patriot Place golf course villas in Bolingbrook, buyers are lavished with lawns sodded to perfection, absurdly low seller financing and a year of free insurance that will pay the mortgage if you lose your job. At the Sunset Ridge estates, the amenity bonanza gets even more surreal: Buy a customizable colonial for as little as $170,000 and get a brand new, $17,000 Chevy Cruze. The 2011 model. For free. Spring for home-sellers is like Christmas for retailers — peak season. Normally, that might mean a few giveaways. A better brand of siding here. An expanded choice of tile color there. But a new car? “Obviously, business has been soft,” says Kim Meier, president of KLM Homebuilders, the company offering the promotion. The festival of upgrades on new homes — especially in the housing markets that were savaged by the subprime meltdown — is queasy confirmation of just how much the housing market remains the sickest part of the U.S. economy. Existing home sales plunged nearly 10 percent in February to their lowest level in nine years. It was the largest drop since July. Forty percent of those sales were on distressed properties. And new home sales are on track to come in at just 250,000 this year, the fewest since the Kennedy administration, when there were 120 million fewer people in the United States.

The sun's rays are now as strong as they are on September 16, and so when the wind dies down at times today it'll feel rather nice. However, temperatures will remain only in the 30s this afternoon; nearly 20 degrees below normal. Indeed, this is a very cold air mass, and since the polar jet stream is firmly in control of our weather, the cold will last into next week. Expect more sunshine tomorrow despite having a close call with a storm to our south. A storm could bring some ice and rain on Wednesday next week with only a slight warm-up through Thursday. - Tom Clark

fter a long winter, homeowners naturally start to look outside their cozy walls. What does the yard need? A border of trees? A low-maintenance rose hedge? A footpath through the garden? Maybe it needs a pond, which could change your life in ways you don’t expect, especially if you buy some goldfish or shubunkers to live in it. “It becomes a serious hobby, and the fish become part of the family,” said Mark Van Tuyle, who works at Edward’s Landscaping

louds of dust popped up with each chunk of plaster that hit the floor. Mike Sciandra, 27, of West Pittston stood by and watched his girlfriend, Kelley Mercavitch, 24, take a crowbar to the walls of their master bedroom. He looked impressed. “Well, I was going to do it, too,” Sciandra said, DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER “but now I think I’m going to have her rip all of it out Kelley Mercavitch takes a crowbar to the plaster and lattice of the herself. She’s enjoying this way too much.” wall in her West Pittston home.

The couple, who moved into the home in February of last year, are in the middle of some major remodels. They’re working in the living and dining rooms, master bedroom and kitchen. The biggest job, and one that will go on for a while, is remedying the sloping kitchen. “When we first moved in, if you spilled something in the doorway of the kitchen it would roll down and to the right, into the bathroom,” Mercavitch said. “Whoever lived here before took out

the main supporting beams in the basement in order to make room for a heating unit,” Sciandra said. “The kitchen sunk about six inches.” The floor slant wreaked havoc in other rooms. “We’ve got two cracks to the bathroom walls,” Sciandra said, “and the door to the pantry can’t be closed. The frame is now a lot lower than the door, so I’m going to have to shave the top of the door to make it fit again.” To lift the kitchen, Sciandra replaced See ROOM, Page 4C

in Forty Fort. “For entertaining, it’s magnificent.” Just about any improvement you make to your landscape can help with entertaining – becoming at least a conversation piece, if not the focal point when friends come over for a barbecue. Visitors will be sure to admire, for example, the patio Sweet Valley Landscaping recently installed at a Butler Township residence, where four different shades of laser-cut stone lend an inviting look. “It’s visually interesting, more welcoming and more cohesive,” Sweet Valley owner Ed Frey said. “Just compare it to a large expanse of concrete.” At that home, a fire pit is surrounded with a circle of rose-colored stone, 18 feet in diameter, which is large enough for tables and chairs. The customer also chose a copper liner for the inside of the fire pit, Frey said, “simply for aesthetics.” Another way to beautify your landscape is with trees, which can offer shade, privacy, a wind buffer and a host of other benefits. Many customers opt for a row of arbor vitae, which are tall and slender and need very little maintenance, Ed Kopec of Edward’s Landscaping said. He has plenty of evergreens in stock, including Pennsylvania’s state tree, the Eastern hemlock, which is stately and sweet-smelling but may require some vigi-

lance. It’s best to “keep a close eye on them,” Kopec said, noting the species is susceptible to an insect called the woolly adelgid. An oilbased spray can be applied to the branches when the tree is dormant to keep the adelgid at bay. “Timing is essential,” he said. “May and June and September and October.” His hemlocks, as well as blue spruce, Fraser firs and other evergreens, looked very healthy on a recent early-spring day. They stood out on a lot where deciduous trees and plants, including a row of tall hedge roses, had yet to burst forth. In just a few weeks, Kopec said, many flowers will start to bloom, turning his lot in Forty Fort into a sea of color and spiking homeowners’ interest. “If azaleas are blooming,” he said, “everybody wants azaleas.” So let’s say you have azaleas, rhododendrons and roses in your garden. Or sedums, hostas and lilies. How will you walk among them as you lead your friends on a tour? Maybe you need a footpath – perhaps one with a weathered sort of look. Some of the most popular stone, landscapers say, has a natural appearance to it. “Tumbled” stone, for example, has gone a few rounds in a drum that acts like a cement mixer. As he spoke, Kopec walked past wire bins of all sorts of rock, which he can send out his own crew to install, sell to other landscapers or to the home do-it-yourselfers. For that last group of hands-on people, he can even offer a kit for building a pond in the backyard.

Ed Kopec of Edward’s Landscaping talks about the different types of stone available.

The copper lining inside this fire pit was added for purely aesthetic purposes, contractor Ed Frey of Sweet Valley Landscaping in Hanover Township said.

It has everything you’d need, right down to the glue. Most of his customers don’t take that option, he said. They prefer to leave it to the pros. Then there are homeowners who make a brave start on a landscaping project, only to throw up their hands. Robin Stredny of Green Tree Landscaping in Dallas reflected on that during a recent phone inS. JOHN WILKIN/THE TIMES LEADER terview: “They say, ‘Hey, we started this. Can you come and Add some fish to a waterscape like this pond at Edward’s Landscaping Service in Forty Fort, and finish it?’ ” you’ll soon find they’re part of the family.

Fences, sheds add versatility

Local merchants talk outdoor trends

o you remember when you had a garage and you parked your car in it? Then you wheeled in your gas grill and lawn equipment and stacked all those old clay flower pots on top of each other. It seemed like a good place to store the kayak and skis, the archery target and wheelbarrow, some bags of mulch and fertilizer and a few other odds and ends. The next thing you knew, you were raising the immortal cry: “I want my garage back.” “That’s what everybody says,” said Dean Herrmann, manager of Pine Creek Structures in Drums. Herrmann believes the answer to your space needs could well be a shed, fashioned with pride by Amish craftsmen. Leading the way past barnlike sheds, glass-enclosed gazebos

and roomy playhouses that look like small-scale Swiss chalets, Herrmann said some of his customers plan to use backyard structures for purposes as diverse as artist’s studio, carpenter’s workroom or poolside cabana. “Some people want a ‘man cave,’ or as they say down

South, ‘papa’s sanctuary,’ ” he said with a chuckle. Customers Thomas and Michelle Mulligan of Drums recently visited Pine Creek Structures because they’re looking for a shed in which they’d store a motorcycle, quad vehicles and a See VERSATILITY, Page 11C

“When we first moved in, if you spilled something in the doorway of the kitchen it would roll down and to the right, into the bathroom.” Kelley Mercavitch

the small, 2-inch poles that served as support beams. “Iusedfourmetalfloorjacksforthenew beams,” Sciandra said. “The beams are made of two 6-by-12 boards with plywood between them.” EveryweekSciandraadjuststhebeams. “You have to do it gradually,” he said. “You’re supposed to do a quarter turn every week, but I do a half-turn.” Although they’re unsightly, the cracks caused by the slumped floor couldn’t have happened in a better room. “This is the only room in the house that’s studded,” Sciandra said, referring to the drywall, which easily can be plastered and patched. “This whole house is plank board.” The downfall of plank board is that it lacks insulation, which is why they’re ripping up the walls in the master bedroom and putting up drywall. When they began to break into them, they found odd insulation. “We’ve got a stack of newspapers from 1982 that we just keep pulling out as we go,” Mercavitch said. To switch over from the plank board, the room has to be studded out. Then insulation can be added, and the drywall can

be put up. Mercavitch and Sciandra didn’t stop there with the projects. The carpet from the front and middle rooms in the downstairs, both of which measure12 by16 feet, has been ripped up. “This green rug was hideous,” Mercavitch said. “Hardwood is so much more attractive. I love the pillars in the front room, and I wanted the floor to match that.” Upon ripping up the carpet, they found a hardwood floor that was in good shape with one hitch. “We aren’t really sure why, but there’s a random square of plywood in the middle of each room,” Mercavitch said. They plan to cover over it with Swiftlock Plus laminate flooring. The planks use a clicking and locking system that needs no glue and creates a “floating floor.” “Not only is it less expensive,” Mercavitch said, “but the installation is easy.” A foam underlay is laid out to make the floor more comfortable for walking. Each board is held at a 45-degree angle, with the tongue-and-groove connectors lined up. The tongue is slid into the groove, and then the boards can be gently tapped together so that they fit securely. Both are eager to finish the projects, but most determined is Mercavitch, who Sciandra said is all over the place. “She wants to do everything at once.

Fresh new spot to start a day Couple’s bath joins list of renovated rooms

By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

oe and Peg Canfield, both 82, pick a new home-improvement project each year. Well, more accurately, Peg does. “She’s the project manager,” Joe said. The Dallas house, which the Canfields have lived in since 1967, was due for a major bathroom upgrade this time around. “The bathroom was pretty much all tile when we moved in,” Joe said. “I’d say it was about five feet high, all around, on the walls and in the shower.”

We asked Bob Belles of Belles Construction in Wilkes-Barre for the basics about a typical bath renovation: • What’s the average cost of today’s bath remodel? “Typically, the cost is around $11,000.” • What’s hands-down the most expensive part of a typical project? “Replacing the actual tub or shower is the most expensive part, as well as the fixtures that go along with them.” • What’s a good way to save on costs? “I wouldn’t say to skimp when it comes to products, like trying to buy a cheaper brand. I always suggest the premium products because you get what you pay for, and they’ll last longer and be of better quality. The best thing to do is shop around for premium products that are on sale.” • How long does the average project take? “It should take around nine days.” • What’s especially popular in bath remodels right now? “People are really looking to the fancy showerheads, some of which are expensive.

The tile was the main reason for the remodel. “It’s been there for 44 years. It was starting to crack in a big way, so it was time to get rid of it.” The only tile in the bathroom now is on the floor. “They decided to go with a nice ceramic tile,” said Bob Belles, of Belles Construction in Wilkes-Barre, who remodeled the Canfields’ bathroom. “We had smaller, 4-inch tiles, but we changed over to 12inch,” Joe said. Larger tiles have bigger benefits. “Not only are they in style, there’s a lot less cracking, and the selection in bigger tiles has more of a variety,” Belles said. Belles gutted the entire room, so every aspect of it is brand new. Wainscoting now covers the bottom half of the walls, and the tub, no longer tiled, has been completely redone. But Joe’s favorite part of the remodel is the vanity. “When you shut a door in the vanity it doesn’t close all the way,” he said. “There are hy-

draulics to it so that no matter how hard you shut it, it doesn’t slam. It stops, then slowly eases the drawer or door shut completely.” The Canfields also decided to replace the bathroom window with a triple-pane window. They already had done that with the

rest of the windows in the house. “They’re energy-efficient, and we can definitely tell the difference,” Joe said. “The house holds in the heat or the cold better during each season.” The windows help to preserve other parts of the home. “They’re particularly helpful in our living room, which gets a lot of sun,” Joe said. “Our carpets won’t fade.” Peg is happy to have the windows, which save her curtains from discoloring.

THE TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com

“They increase the UV protection, mostly by 50 percent,” Belles said. “They also help save hardwood floors, in addition to carpeting, drapes and even furniture that may be in the path of the sun’s rays.” “The triple panes also have sound-deadening qualities,” Belles said. “If you live on a busy street, they make a considerable difference in cutting down traffic noise.” In addition to the new fixtures, flooring and walls, the Canfields

adopted a new color scheme. “Everything used to be beige,” Joe said. “We decided to not be entirely different with the color, but just so. We have a cream color with a light green accent now.” They chose green because it’s one of Peg’s favorite colors, as apparent by the green front door that adorns the house. “I left picking the color up to her,” Joe said. After all, what the project manager says goes.

See KITCHEN, Page 15C

Kitchens are moving away from ornate looks such as Tuscan and French country in favor of more transitional design, a trend Betty Nairn of Cabinet-S-Top in Granger Township, Ohio, calls “simplistic luxury.” The move toward clean lines and less ornamentation is due at least in part to homeowners thinking ahead, said Debra Shababy of Studio 76 Kitchens and Baths in Twinsburg, Ohio. Many are looking toward selling their homes as the economy improves, and they want their kitchens to appeal to a broad range of buyers, she said. Contemporary design is gaining interest, too — even in the Midwest, a region long tied to the traditional. Barbara Dillick of Kitchen Design Group in Bath Township, Ohio, figures people have become more comfortable with the spare, sleek look because they’ve been exposed to it through shelter magazines, TV shows and upscale hotels.

Built-in dining Eat-in kitchens are still in demand, but where we do that eating has changed. The bar-style counter is still popular, but it’s giving way in many new kitchens to an extension of the counter that looks more like a table. Sometimes the extension is counter height; sometime it’s higher or lower. What sets it apart from bar seating is that it’s designed so the diners sit around the edge and face one another, rather than sitting in a line. The idea of trading a table for a counter extension makes some homeowners nervous initially, Kitchen Design Group’s Deanna Carleton said. But the setup has advantages: It saves space, the extension can do double duty as an extra buffet surface and the deep base that holds the countertop provides a good amount of storage. Safety, sustainability More than ever, consumers are paying attention to the materials that go into their kitchens, Shababy said. She said many respond positively when she suggests cabinet finishes with low levels of volatile organic compounds, vapors that contribute to indoor air pollution. They also like cabinets that are joined with dowels instead of glues containing formaldehyde. Safety features are popular, such as lockouts that prevent stove burners from being turned on accidentally and mechanisms that keep drawers and cabinet doors from slamming on little fingers, Shababy said. And people are leaning toward energy-saving features such as LED lights, as well as natural products such as wood floors and stone countertops, she said. Granite is still the top choice for countertops, especially since

lawnmower. They want whatever they might buy to be sturdy and longlasting, Michelle Mulligan said. They came to the right place, Herrmann said, noting the Amish workers are dedicated to ensuring high quality. Customized structures can be ordered, he said, and the Pine Creek lot, near the intersection of Route 309 and Interstate 80, is filled with a variety of readymade creations. Among the more unusual are a hunter’s stand, a rabbit hutch and a rustic outhouse. You can use it for storing rakes and hoes or have it outfitted with a toilet, Hermann said A chicken coop comes complete with little doors through which you’d get the eggs. “They’re all about ingenuity,” Herrmann said of the Amish designers. For the younger set there are elaborate swingsets that would make it easy to pretend you were sailing the sea, thanks to a ship’s steering wheel and telescope. Equally charming are playhouses with lofts on the inside and Dutch doors on the outside – and yes, your average adult

can enter, if stooping. While you’re thinking of additions to your yard this year, you might be considering a fence – perhaps for privacy, for security or because you have a swimming pool and a fence is mandated by the municipality where you live. There are two popular trends for fencing, Ed Frey of Sweet Valley Landscaping in Hanover Township has noticed. One is for a type of aluminum fencing that looks like wrought iron. “It’s old-world elegance,” he said. “Very classy.” One of the advantages is the

space between each post, which helps the fence blend in with its natural surroundings. “Imagine if you had a 6-foot vinyl fence that was opaque,” he said. “That could make you feel claustrophobic. But these fences come in colors – bronze or kelly green can really be unobtrusive and blend into the background.” That said, the other trend Frey has noticed is for vinyl fencing. The kind he recommends is reinforced with aluminum on the inside, which greatly adds to its strength. Nowadays vinyl fencing is also available in color. “It doesn’t have to be stark white,” he said.

Hot new helpers lessen the grunt work of cleaning By HEIDI STEVENS Chicago Tribune

No spring home-improvement project can go off successfully without a good household spring cleaning first. Here are some helpful new products to consider to get the job done better: Petite but powerful Some people swear by Dysons — the suction, the sleek design, the no-bag thing. If you’re a devotee, you’ll want to check out the new Dyson City, which, we can attest, cleans as powerfully as a full upright Dyson but is a lot easier to lug up and down stairs and store in a tight space. Cost: $399.99 at dyson.com One and done If sweeping and then mopping strikes you as insult and then in-

jury, consider Bissell’s Steam and Sweep for hard floors. In one swoop, it vacuums the dirt and steam cleans the gunk from your floor. We love how it leaves floors shiny without the residue of some mop-and-shine cleaners. Cost: $129.99 at bissell.com Byo water One bottle of Replenish becomes four bottles of Replenish when you mix the accompanying 98 percent plant-derived concentrate with water. Saves you from purchasing and tossing bottle after bottle of premixed cleaner. Cost: $7.99 for 64-ounce bottle at myreplenish.com

Discards bypassing the dump these days Old materials are finding new life as salvaging grows in popularity. By KATHLEEN LYNN The Record (Hackensack, N.J.)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — Renovating? You could just rip up the old room and sweep everything into the trash bin. But more homeowners, architects and builders are trying to reuse or recycle construction materials for reasons both environmental and aesthetic. Architect Anthony Garrett went this route with the gut renovation of a Hoboken, N.J., building. Its wooden floor joists, more than a century old, were reclaimed and trucked to Montville Township, N.J., to be reused as flooring and exposed beams in a planned mixed-use development. “It’s dismantling, as opposed to demolition,” said Garrett, of the Bilow Garrett Group in Ridgefield Park, N.J. “I can’t think of anything more sustainable than that.” With construction waste making up as much as 25 percent to 50 percent of the junk in landfills, the push to salvage building materials is “gaining a huge amount of momentum,” said Anne Nicklin, executive director of the Building Materials Reuse Association, an Oregon trade group. Reused materials are not just better for the environment; they also can be higher quality. “You can’t buy old-growth timber at Home Depot, but you can find it in a building that’s coming down,” Nicklin said. Municipalities, worried about scarce landfill space, are offering cheaper or faster permits for deconstruction, rather than demolition, Nicklin said. And federal agencies offer training to workers on how to salvage building materials. She estimates that 75 percent or more of most buildings can be reused or recycled. A number of nonprofit retail outlets offer a marketplace for old building materials. They include Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, which has locations all over the country. Green Demolitions targets affluent homeowners who decide their kitchens aren’t quite right but who feel guilty dumping cabinets and appliances sometimes only a few years old. It might be hard to believe homeowners would replace kitchens in good shape, but “they want the kitchen they want,” said Green Demolitions founder Steve Feldman. His pitch: By donating the old kitchen to his company, homeowners can save the disposal costs, plus get a tax deduction because Green Demolitions’ profits support addiction treatment. “Why throw out something that’s perfectly good and totally usable?” asked Alan Asarnow, sales manager at Ulrich Inc. in Ridgewood, N.J., a home renovation company. Those who buy the old kitchens and other materials at Green Demolitions or the ReStores find discounts of 50 to 80 percent. Reusing or recycling materials can help builders get the environmental stamp of approval known as LEED, for Leadership in Energy and Environmental design. The certification is awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council.

Head off toxic terror Beat back three formidable foes inside your house By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com

efore you take a hammer to walls or rip up floor tiles and carpeting, consider what might be hiding beneath. “In ripping things apart, you just might be exposing yourself to not one, but possibly three, very nasty elements,” said Jeff Miller, president of JMSI Environmental Corp. in Swoyersville, a company that has provided environmental consulting and testing services for residential and commercial areas for more than 20 years.

The nastiness of which Miller speaks is asbestos, mold and lead-based paint, all of which can release harmful toxins into the air if not handled properly. “This isn’t to say homeowners can’t do their own work,” Miller said. “It’s just the idea that they should be prepared for what they may find.” Tests done by a licensed environmental expert are the first step. “An air-sample test which measures the number of spores in a particular area might need to be taken,” said Kristi Layland, marketing and service manager of Disaster Blaster, an indoor-environment restoration firm in Avoca, “as well as a sample of the outdoor air taken as a control, in order to compare the two.” So, where can you find this stuff? Hunt down humidity As far as mold is concerned, moisture is key. Areas high in humidity, such as bathrooms and basements, or that have water damage are prime spots. “The most important thing to do to prevent this is correct what’s at the root of the problem,” Miller said, meaning “where the moisture is coming from. It might be missing rain gutters or a foundation with cracks or leaks.” Layland said two types of mold exist. “Allergenic mold will cause an allergic reaction,” she said, “such as itchy eyes or a runny nose. Toxigenic mold is a mold you don’t have to be allergic to; it emits chemicals that might affect you.” Mold is quick to spread. “If you disturb it, it disperses spores into the air that fly around,” Miller said.

Asbestos was once used as pipe insulation and is still present in many houses today.

Black mold clings to the corner of a wall that has a leak behind it, causing moisture to make the perfect mold habitat.

“Mold can grow in a matter of three days and, in some cases, as little as 24 hours,” Layland said. Removal of mold, whether a large or small amount, requires caution. “You can’t just rip it out and throw it in a garbage bag,” Layland said. “Bleach is not the recommended solution to remove or clean mold.” “An air-scrubber is used to create negative pressure in the remediation area to prevent crosscontamination while removing the airborne mold spores,” Layland said of the removal process. “The people that go in to remove it have to be suited up and have respirators,” Miller said. “The same thing goes for asbestos removal.” Another toxic foe Asbestos is commonly found as insulation on hot or cold water pipes, as well as plaster and drywall joint compound and floor tiles. “Nine-by-nine tiles are gener-

ally presumed to be tiles that contain asbestos,” Layland said. As with mold, it’s when asbestos-containing areas are disturbed that the problem starts. “A tile that’s in good condition isn’t as much of a problem as a tile that’s cracked and damaged,” Layland said. Widespread problem Lead-based paint, which can be found on everything from the trim of windows and doors to certain types of ceramic tiles, may be the simplest to take care of but is the most rampant in this area. Based on dates of construction, Miller said, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Environmental Protection Agency estimate that in Luzerne County more than 100,000 housing units contain lead-based paint. Houses built or remodeled be-

fore 1987 are more likely to have lead-based paint and asbestos containing materials. Lead-based paint products can be taken care of by simply removing the entire item, intact. As with mold and asbestos, the key is to not disturb it by breaking apart the infested area, which releases toxins. How do you know? The effects of some of these toxins are not immediate. “The effects of asbestos aren’t going to reach you for 10 to 30 years,” Miller said. “Lead-based paint is the same way. It takes a while to build up in your system, and you won’t notice the symptoms of lead poisoning right away.” Removal cost depends on how much of an area is affected and what the surface of the area is. “For mold remediation, semiporous materials, like wood and

cement, need detailed cleaning with a HEPA vacuum,” Layland said, “then wiping with mild disinfectant and using a HEPA Vacuum again.” Some projects require demolition. “Porous materials, like carpet, insulation and drywall, need to be removed totally,” Layland said. Not every problem requires a professional. “As far as mold is concerned, anything less than five or six square feet can be handled by the homeowner with basic knowledge, skills and equipment,” Miller said. “They would need an exhaust fan, some plastic sheeting, a respirator (which can be picked up in Home Depot or Lowes) and some basic instruction on how not to contaminate the whole house by removing a small patch.”

example, a ceiling fixture combined with under-counter task lighting and ambient lights behind a glass-front door. But gimmicky lighting schemes such as lighted toe kicks aren’t so popular, Dillick said. LEDs are finding their way into the kitchen, mainly in undercounter lighting but also in recessed ceiling lights. They’re available in both cool and warm lights to fit different decors and preferences. Nairn has also seen a big preference for natural lighting via windows, skylights or reflective

room. Counter-depth refrigerators are easier to fit into a kitchen because they don’t jut out into the room. But even though they’re often taller, they typically have less storage space, Nairn said. So some designers are dealing with that space shortage by incorporating drawer refrigerators or freezers into the cabinets to hold additional food. Shababy said that kind of arrangement makes sense only when the drawer holds foods that are used mostly in a particular part of the kitchen — for example, a drawer for vegetables next to the sink where they’re cleaned and prepared.

Refrigerator options The depth of the typical refrigerator poses a design challenge, particularly in smaller kitchens. Manufacturers have responded with shallower appliances and drawer models, which are often Bars Bars are coming out of the used in combination in the same

great room and into the kitchen. Dillick said many of her company’s clients are requesting bar areas in the kitchen where they can store both the booze and the barware in one convenient spot. Often, they’re taking out kitchen desks to free the space. Bar cabinets that look like pantries are popular, she said. Often they’re outfitted with a wine or beverage refrigerator; storage space for glassware, knives and a cutting board, and sometimes a sink. Color Most homeowners still tend toward the safe and neutral in their kitchen’s more permanent items — cupboards, countertops and flooring. But that doesn’t mean kitchens can’t be colorful.

SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2011 PAGE 15C● softness, which are often lacking in a room filled mostly with hard surfaces, she said.

Walls are sporting bold hues such as persimmon or pomegranate, Dillick said. Accessories and appliances bring spots of color, such as a Wolf range with red knobs and a cobalt oven interior that “people fall in love with,” she said. It’s also popular to work a colorful painted cabinet or two in among white or natural wood cabinets to add a bit of interest. Dillick also has seen the comeback of window seats, which provide the opportunity to add color in the form of fabric. Upholstered seats, pillows and window valances all add a bit of color and

Individualism All of the kitchen designers were hesitant to talk in terms of trends, because they believe a kitchen’s design should suit the individual. Kitchens are places where we spend a lot of time, so it’s more important to have what you like, not what’s popular, they said. “Really, it’s up to you,” Shababy said. “It’s whatever makes you happy being in your kitchen.”

An everyday hinged door takes up 9 square feet, eating up precious floor space in a hallway or square-footcrunched space, points out Jeremy Crowder, vice president of KNC, a third-generation door hardware business in Canada. “Not only are sliding doors efficient for the homeowner, they’re good for condo developers,” Crowder says. However, extra wall space is required to the left or right of an urban barn door to accommodate its large size. Ideally, the door should be at least 6 inches wider than the opening. Still, it’s more efficient than a 36-inch swinging door or sets of them. Hardware is often the priciest part of the indoor sliders, usually starting at about $1,000. A few months ago, KNC introduced the Crowder Round Track, exposed European-style stainless steel with nylon wheels at the top. A barely visible guide-block in the floor helps keep the door on track. All it takes is two fingers to silently and smoothly glide 400 pounds of wood, metal, glass or other material. The hardware is shock-absorbing to keep a residential door from sounding like an authentic hay-holding barn door. “If you’re entertaining, you want people to remember the party and not the rickety door,” says furniture and product designer Joe Munson of Leawood, Kan., who has created largescale sliding doors for local clients and others in New York. Lee Norman of Kansas City, Mo., recently bought the neighboring unit to his River Market condo. The wall between the two loft spaces was removed. Norman wanted the space to be open sometimes, closed others. “ ‘Shut’ is important,” says Norman, chief medical officer at the University of Kansas Hospital. His 28-year-old son, Alex, an architectural designer

for solar energy systems, relocated from Southern California to Kansas City and is temporarily living with him. Norman wants him to have privacy. “But he knows they’re both my sides.” Norman considered pivoting doors and other options. But Rees Michael of North Star Remodel in Kansas City suggested the urban barn door because it acts like a movable wall. Instead of buying a pre-made door, Norman hired Ryan Bennett and Reid Benson of Dead Leaf Designs in Kansas City to construct a 6-by-8-1/2-foot door. The custom 250-pound door has an industrial plywoodcomposite core with a zebrawood and wenge veneer. A

Beth Stedry decided to use wooden barn doors for the bedroom of her son Ben Stedry in Leawood, Kan. ‘Urban barn doors’ are becoming more popular in homes because of their space-saving attributes.

It’s a design opportunity that’s easilymissed:Eventhemoststylishly decorated rooms often have bland wooden doors with cheap hardware. High-end designers have always made doors a priority, says Brian Patrick Flynn, an interior designer and founder of decordemon.com. But many of us ignore the doors in our homes, not realizing what a difference they can make to the look of a room. Interior designer Emily Henderson, host of HGTV’s “Secrets from a Stylist,” uses doors as a canvas for anything from wallpaper or stenciling to textured paint or artfully applied gold leaf. Painting with bold or contrasting colors can quickly make a door the star of a space, Flynn says. Try painting an entire door whiteandlettingitdryforatleast one day. Then put painters’ tape over the areas you’d like to keep as white accents, and paint the entire door another color (glossy black is great, he says). After removing the tape, touch up any imperfectspotswithatinybrush. Another option Flynn loves: Have doors upholstered with leather or geometric print fabric to add softness and style. Leather is easy to wipe clean, he says, and “if it ages over time, that only adds to the look.” Bring the door to an upholsterer or do it yourself by wrapping the door in cotton batting and attaching fabric with a staple gun along the sides. Tap the staples with a hammer to recess them, then paint over them in a color that matches the fabric. You can glue ribbon over the staples to hide them. Front doors can be a great place to express your style. A custom-designed door with nice hardware can have a huge impact and be worth the investment. Oneoptionistokeepthehouse neutral and do a pop of color at the front door. Inside your home, you can use doorknobs and other hardware like jewelry. Try crystal or chinoiserie knobs, oiled bronze metal hardware or shiny chrome, depending on your style. Flynn has merged fun and function by putting elaborate door knockers on bedroom doors. If you want to highlight your home’s history or bring rooms a vintage look, use doors reclaimed from older buildings.

about $2,200, and the door and installation were another $4,400. “I’ve never been far from barn doors,” says Norman, who grew up in Adel, Iowa. “Now I live with one.”

Three may be right number for girl to agree to attend school prom Dear Abby: I am a female high school junior with many friends I love and a boyfriend I care for. A number of my friends are gay. One girl, “Belinda,” is a year older than I am. She told me a couple of years ago that she is a lesbian. I have done everything I can to help her and support her. Last year, Belinda shared that she loves me more than as a friend. She would like to take me to the prom this year, and I would like to go with her. Because I am already involved in a relationship with a boy, should I not be Belinda’s escort? If I go, how do I tell my parents? — Loyal Friend in Ohio

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Loyal Friend: It’s time you have another talk with Belinda and explain to her that you like her very much as a friend, but not in the same way that she feels about you. Because you are already involved in a relationship, you and your boyfriend could (possibly) attend the prom with Belinda as a threesome — but you should not be her “date.” If this turns out to be the solution to your problem, I’m sure your parents would have no objection to it. Dear Abby: I am a widow. My hus-

band and I enjoyed traveling all the years we were married. Since his death I’ve taken one trip to Florida alone. It was OK, but not the same, of course, without a loved one to share the experience. I really miss going places and seeing things. My son and his family take lots of mini-weekend trips. I would love to be asked to go along occasionally. I am not sure if they don’t ask me because they can’t afford the extra expense of an additional person, or because they want privacy. I can afford to pay my own way. I don’t know how to let them know I’d love to be included once in a while. I know there are trips for seniors, but I’m not good at mingling with new people. I have always been family-oriented. The discomfort of

CRYPTOQUOTE

traveling with a group of new people would outweigh the fun for me. What do you suggest? — Little Bit Lonely Dear Little Bit Lonely: Mention ONCE to your son and his wife that you’d love to be invited to go with them on an occasional mini-weekend getaway — and that you’d be glad to pay your way. They may take you up on it. However, if they don’t, do not bring it up again. I strongly urge you not to restrict yourself in making new acquaintances. Find new interests now that you are alone. Fight the instinct to isolate yourself. If you don’t want to travel with a group of strangers, ask some of your women friends if they would be interested in traveling with you.

HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

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

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel compelled to open your heart to those who are very different from you. That’s why you have friends from all over the world. You are an unofficial ambassador for global peace. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You experience time differently from the way another person experiences it. Regardless of the misunderstandings you may have had in the past, you’ll sync up once again today and start fresh. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You matter in your community, and you’ll have a real sense of your importance to others now. It may even seem that the outside world appreciates you more than your inner circle does. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your respect and admiration are the prizes another person will work for. Your compassion won’t allow you to make this person work too hard, but some degree of effort will be good for all involved. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to have much in common with others in order to be comfortable. If you’re very different from the rest, it only means that they need you all the more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are such a giver that sometimes you forget to be a good receiver. It will be essential to your happiness and to the well-being of a special relationship that you receive as graciously as you give. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you bottle up volatile feelings, they will likely come out in one gigantic emotional release — not pretty. So defuse strong feelings

through exercise, writing in a diary, meditating or talking to friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll get someone to open up by making it feel safe for him or her to do so. Stay pleasantly neutral, and make it known that you won’t judge. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your compliments are genuine and unselfish. Though you have no ulterior motive, some who are not used to such niceties may be skeptical. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Celebrate your assets. A quiet acknowledgment of your considerable talents and accomplishments will boost your self-esteem. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a basic human need to be listened to and understood. You focus intently on your loved ones as they express themselves freely. The level of attention you give is a gift to be treasured. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People are not perfect, as much as you would like to believe that some are. The one you put on a pedestal will eventually have to come down. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 26). This year you’ll feel like you’re starring in your own movie, and the other characters are playing their roles much to your satisfaction. The personal gain that befalls you this month is well deserved. June brings mental expansion. There’s financial luck in August. Gemini and Scorpio people are your adoring fans. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 43, 24, 2 and 35.

A wing and a prayer: STI a racer that can haul the family SCOTT WASSER

NUTS AND BOLTS

WHEELS

WHAT IS IT? 2011 WRX STI, a surprisingly practical four-door sedan spawned by a racecar.

Sweeping curves. Chicanes. And an occasional hairpin turn. Those are all things one might expect to encounter while driving a racecar. But few racecar drivers have to deal with a hockey bag. …A huge

WHAT DOES IT COST?: WRX STI sedan starts at $33,995, about $8,500 more than the tamer and wingless WRX and $2,00 less than the wing-less WRX STI hatchback. The leather-upholstered WRX STI Limited model starts at $37,345.

hockey bag. That was my challenge while testing the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, which is about as close to a racecar as anything the average consumer can find in a new-car showroom. The WRX STI that consumers can purchase for around $34,000 traces its ancestry to the cars that won several World Rally Championships beginning in the mid-1990s. The current model is based on the velociraptors that chew up competitors in U.S. RallyCar racing. That's the racing series in which drivers beat the snot out of their vehicles on logging roads, rock-strewn hillsides and snowbound trails. The WRX STI (which stands for World Rally Cross Subaru Technica International) available to consumers is more civilized and has fewer horses under the hood than its racing brethren. But that’s not to say that Subaru has drained the spirit out of it. With 305 horsepower produced by a tricked-out 2.5-liter, intercooled, turbocharged fourcylinder engine, the STI is capable of being launched from a standstill to 60 mph in under 5 seconds. Because it has a sophisticated allwheel drive system with three automatic and six manual settings for front-torear torque distribution, it launches with absolutely no wheelspin and maximum grip. Although the STI has the same blastoff chops as some exotic sports cars, it can beat just about any exotic when it comes to transporting more than just a pilot and co-pilot. In my case, the “more” was a kid and his hockey bag. If you don’t know what a hockey bag is, think gym bag on steroids. My son, Brandon, is a goalie, so his bag is bigger than some of his

WHAT I LIKED BEST: It’s about as close as you can get to a racecar that can carry cargo and passengers. WHO’S IT FOR?: Attention-seekers who crave performance and practicality. IMPORTANT NUMBERS:

Subaru’s WRX STI never really left us, but the four-d door sedan with the gregarious rear wing has been on hiatus the past few years and has been much less conspicuous in its hatchback configuration. The winged version is back for 2011 with more flash and dash than ever.

Pee Wee-level teammates. The big bag is needed to fit all the heavily padded gear he wears to keep hard rubber discs from breaking his bones. The radiant metallic blue 2011 WRX STI arrived for testing two days before we were heading out of town for a weekend tournament, so the first thing we did was check its trunk. Whoa! It was much bigger than expected. Subaru says you’ll find 11.3 cubic feet of trunk space beneath the rear spoiler, which may be the biggest wing on earth now that pterodactyls are extinct. I’m not sure how to translate 11.3 cubic feet. Is that the equivalent of 11 beachballs? Eight milk crates? Five pairs of NFL lineman Albert Haynesworth’s underwear? All I know is that the STI’s trunk swallowed two gym bags, one goalie hockey bag, one full-size digital camera bag and a small, insulated cooler. Try cramming that in your Ferrari F430 without first removing the passenger seat. Not that I’m comparing the WRX STI to a Ferrari. You’d be hard-pressed

to find any room behind the front seats of an F430, let alone enough for the two adults or three kids who could ride pretty comfortably in the WRX STI’s rear seat. Comfort is not the STI’s forte, but it proved more than tolerable for the fivehour roundtrip highway journey to our hockey tournament. After a couple of hours on the road, the drone of the freebreathing exhaust became somewhat tiresome. But it seemed an acceptable price for being able to pass slower traffic at will. The throaty, full-throttle snarl that interrupted the drone was a bonus. An unexpected bonus: The STI was more comfortable than anticipated. Its low-profile tires and firm suspension notify driver and passengers of every bump and rut. But the road rubbish is never jarring. And unlike the last WRX STI I tested, the 2011 doesn’t get jostled easily by big lumps or gaping potholes. Credit probably goes to the extensive suspension alchemy performed by Subaru engineers for the 2011 edition

of the STI. In their quest to reduce body roll, increase cornering capability and deliver more neutral handling, the engineers lowered the STI’s ride height, upgraded front and rear bushings, and gave it lighter 18-inch aluminum wheels, higher-rate springs and brawnier roll bars. It’s not a ride for everyone, and certainly not for the shy or demure. Its unabashedly bulging fenders and massive wing – which returns along with the sedan for the first time since Subaru began offering only a hatchback STI for the 2008 model year – but the WRX STI is about as inconspicuous as Justin Bieber at a junior high school talent show. But if you don’t mind – and especially if you enjoy – the attention, and want a car that turns quick quartermiles as easily as it turns heads, handles crisply, and is fun to drive, the WRX STI is definitely for you. Especially if you’re looking for all that in a vehicle that can accommodate a very large hockey bag.

2.5-liter, 16-valve, intercooled, turbocharged 4-cyl boxer engine produces 305 hp, 290 lbs-ft of torque. 6speed manual. 103-inch wheelbase. 3,384-lb. curb weight. 17 city/23 highway mpg (EPA). 11.3 cu. ft. cargo space. 0-60 in 4.7 seconds

Are we losing the

AMERICAN DREAM? Samuel “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher actually made far less than that — $40,000 in 2006, according to the Toledo Blade newspaper. But he said he wanted to buy a plumbing business and move up. That, Republicans said, was what the American dream was all about. Anyone could move up and make more, so everyone had a stake in keeping taxes low on the wealthy. It was that way, once. For decades after World War II, middle-class incomes rose rapidly, and the gap between rich and poor narrowed. “The United States witnessed a period of strong and sustained economic growth, creating a rising tide that lifted all boats and ushering in an era of unprecedented prosperity,” said a report from the Economic Mobility Project at the Pew Charitable Trust. “In the last generation, however, an increasingly competitive global economy has caused the growth of median family income to slow notably.” By one measure, working Americans continue to do better. Eight out of 10 Americans make more in inflation-adjusted dollars than their parents did, Pew found. But they’re not upwardly mobile like their parents were in the 1950s and 1960s. Pew found that 42 percent of people in the bottom fifth of income now will stay in the bottom fifth, unable to move up the ladder even from one generation to the next. “If America really is a country

said John Kenneth White, a professor of politics at Catholic University in Washington. “People feel their rights are being taken away. People feel they’re losing the American Dream.” Consider the case of the Ohio laborer who said during the 2008 presidential campaign that he feared Democratic candidate Barack Obama’s proposed tax increases on incomes beyond $250,000.

GI retirement law leaves many frustrated Editor’s note: An occasional look at government promises and how well they are kept.

ONLINE

By KIMBERLY HEFLING Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A law meant to provide early retirement as a reward for National Guard and Reserve members who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan is instead leaving many of them perplexed and frustrated. When Congress wrote the law three years ago, it said Guard and Reserve members called up for 90 days or more for war service or other federal duty would be credited for work “in any fiscal year” toward early retirement for each day they were mobilized. Earning the credit would allow them to retire before age 60 if they had 20 years of service. But the Pentagon has interpreted

that to mean a 90-day period of service had to be completely served within a single fiscal year. The federal fiscal year goes from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30. So if a Guard member were to be deployed for three months beginning in September, the time

JOHN KASS

PRESIDENT Barack Obama unmasked himself Tuesday. He was in El Salvador, standing with Salvadoran President Mauricio Funes, when reporters asked him about his war in Libya. It is indeed his war. He started it. He gave the order to launch the missiles over the weekend. And now the man who ran for president as an anti-war candidate owns his very own war. But there has been confusion over which member of his coalition will command the war. Will Obama ask a foreign general to direct American troops? Will President Nicolas Sarkozy of France take the coalition lead? On Tuesday, Obama was asked about these command issues. It wasn’t a trick. It should have been expected. He stood there, and he opened his mouth. “I would expect that over the next several days you will have clarity and a meeting of the minds of all those who are participating in the process,” Obama said. We’ll have clarity in a few days? Clarity in a few days, Mr. President? You don’t wait to find clarity a few days after you begin a war. You’d better have complete clarity before you ever give the order to fire in the first place. Days after ordering the launch of cruise missiles at around $1 million a pop isn’t the time to find clarity, Mr. President. Days after you bomb a country — even one run by a murderous psychopath like Moammar Gadhafi — isn’t the time to begin searching for clarity. The president must find clarity before beginning such an enterprise. To do otherwise is to risk not only American lives and his own presidency and political fortunes, but to risk America’s future security and its place among nations. There wasn’t much drama in that quote in El Salvador, so I wonder whether Mr. Obama’s Search for Clarity will remain in the news cycle or will drop mercifully from public notice. Given the free pass he’s had on this Libya business, I doubt whether it will become a slogan. But he did say it — in front of TV cameras. And it would be laughably ridiculous, except that lives are at stake. I suspect that every world leader saw it, and their generals saw it, from China to Russia and beyond, and they all took his measure and saw what was in him. His enemies, the Republicans, say that if you take away his teleprompter, he’s quite vulnerable. He’s misspoken many times, but so has every president. If this were merely a matter of rhetoric or misspeaking, I wouldn’t mention it. But that passive discussion about clarity, coming from the mouth of the president, underscores another problem that’s been noticed by Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate. He hasn’t been clear on the war at all. Before he ordered the strikes against Gadhafi, he’d argued that the Libyan dictator had to go, that driving him from power was the important thing. Then that argument changed, and Obama and his advisers said we had to save the people of Libya from a bloody civil war. So it became a humanitarian mission. Sort of. Naturally, members of Congress are shrieking, since he attacked without asking their permission. Liberal U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, the Ohio Democrat, brought up a quote from the past: “The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.” And who said it? Barack Obama, to The Boston Globe in 2007. Early polls show that only 50 percent of the American people are in support of Obama’s attack on Libya.

Protesters flood the streets around the Wisconsin State Capitol on March 12 to protest Governor Scott Walker’s elimination of union bargaining rights for state and public employees. A group of farmers also brought their tractors to the protest rally.

WASHINGTON — The bitter fight over union pay and benefits in states such as Ohio and Wisconsin is more than a clash over an annual budget. It’s a sign of a country wrestling with fundamental change as it leaves the familiar moorings of the 20th century and struggles to forge a new economic and political order. Working people have been watching their paychecks stagnate or shrink since the 1980s. Health care costs have been rising steadily. Jobs have been migrating overseas. The dream of upward mobility has slipped from many people’s grasp. The rules seem to be changing. Politicians from both major parties have responded with partisan solutions on party-line votes, unwilling or unable to forge consensus, leaving anxiety and bitterness in their wake. They’ve borrowed trillions to pay for wars and health care benefits, bailed out Wall Street and auto companies, even as they cut taxes. As a result, debt has skyrocketed. Amidst that shifting landscape, Americans have reacted at times with rage — in town hall meetings in 2009, outside the U.S. Capitol as Congress passed a health care law in 2010, and in state capitols in 2011, as governors and legislators push cuts in pay and benefits for teachers and other public workers. But there’s more to the angst than the day’s headlines. “What’s going on is something deeper within the electorate itself,”

“What’s going on is something deeper within the electorate itself. People feel their rights are being taken away. People feel they’re losing the American Dream.”

Raze Sterling, then protect hallowed legacy WEST MARKET and River streets in downtown Wilkes-Barre intersect with such mouth-watering potential that entrepreneur after creative entrepreneur has attempted to make a going and growing concern out of the imposing and historic gem known to all as the Hotel Sterling. This grand lady, born in 1898, has lived a most noble and exciting life. Often the center of attention, the glamorous Sterling for decades was the crown jewel in the evening skyline. But at 113, the years have taken their toll. While we still sense an enduring spirit, her perspicacity and physical anatomy have ceased to function. The Sterling and its decaying skeleton, aging organs and deteriorated tissue, intermittently supported by artificial means and well-intentioned admirers in desperate search of a miracle, must soon be laid to rest. Regrettably, it is the right thing to do. It seems CityVest, the local nonprofit economic development group that owns the Sterling, has grudgingly determined that any further efforts to resuscitate the once-bustling edifice would prove fruitless. Due to the Sterling’s most honorable past, a deliberative process, respectful of its unique place in history, is being followed before any plans to raze her might be initiated. However, once the final report by CityVest is completed, the end should quickly come. People should not see her like this. Only then might the Hotel Sterling bequeath to posterity the precious land upon which she proudly stood for more than a century. From what we know of her strong will and exemplary character, it is not inconceivable to believe that relinquishing her parcel to future generations was a pre-eminent piece of the Sterling’s dying wish. CityVest has a large responsibility. It must protect the integrity of the Sterling property. This hallowed ground dominates the city’s western gateway where thousands are presented each day via the majestic Market Street Bridge. Search the region, there is nothing comparable. They must be vigilant. Luzerne County government already is licking its chops. CityVest will need $1 million from the county’s Office of Community Development if it is to bring down the structure and free up her land. One county official already has suggested the county should then take ownership of the site. Scary, I know. County control of the Sterling site conjures up all sorts of nightmare scenarios involving low-budget motels, superduper gas pumps, big signs touting corn dogs, fries, many things pickled and microwaved, days-old sandwiches, 24/7. It’s frightening. Above all, the dignity of the Sterling grounds must be maintained. While such careful decisions might be transferred to a newly appointed, professional county executive in 2012, not a Sterling stone need be conferred to the current lame-duck commissioners on North River Street. CityVest board members attorney Richard Goldberg, King’s College President Thomas O’Hara, businessman Judd Shoval and Executive Director Alex Rogers are more than capable of steering the ship during the forthcoming interregnum. Successful development at the prestigious intersection of West Market and River streets requires activity, people, money and commerce. Nothing less will do. The once-prominent Sterling address faces the attractive River Common. Yet few people venture there, and it is regularly devoid of pleasure boats, families, fun and commerce. The Sterling acreage is inextricably linked to the banks of the Susquehanna River and the liquid treasure that every day rushes by us. Success will demand intelligence, imagination and more daring. Albert Einstein once defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” The great legacy of the Hotel Sterling deserves better.

QUOTE OF THE DAY “There’s too many of these projects sitting idle. They’re bought and they just sit there.” Stephen A. Urban The Luzerne County commissioner wants to ensure the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Business and Industry has a solid plan for buildings such as the Sterling Annex before the county agrees to delay loan repayments. The chamber used county community development money to acquire that property.

On money, municipal golf courses and materialism RANDOM THOUGHTS on the passing scene: They say that records are made to be broken. President George W. Bush set a record by adding $3.2 trillion to the national debt over the course of his eight years in office. But Barack Obama already has beaten that record with $4.4 trillion in just his first three years in office. People who thoughtlessly give money to panhandlers on the street seem not to realize that this is making installment payments on the degeneration of America. Don’t mention “municipal golf courses” to me. It sends my blood pressure up through the roof. What earthly excuse is there for spending the taxpayers’ money subsidizing a golf course? Politicians can’t even invoke “the poor,” as they do when trying to justify other government boondoggles. The vocabulary of the political left is fascinating. For example, it is considered to be “materialistic” and “greedy” to want to keep what you have earned. But it is “idealistic” to want to take away what someone else has earned and spend it for your own political benefit or to feel good about yourself. Economists are often asked to predict what the economy is going to do. But economic predictions require predicting what politicians are going to do – and nothing is

COMMENTARY THOMAS SOWELL more unpredictable. An email from a perceptive reader points out that, although congressional “earmarks” represent a very small part of federal spending, they can be used as bribes to buy the votes of members of Congress on bills involving the spending of vastly larger sums of the taxpayers’ money. When political commentators from the Fox News Channel had books whose sales would normally make the New York Times’ nonfiction best-seller list, the New York Times changed the rules for putting books on that list. Thus best-selling political books by Mike Huckabee and Dick Morris appeared on a recent Sunday on a more obscure list of miscellaneous personal advice and how-to books, such as “Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook.” When the Federal Reserve cites statistics to claim that there is not much evidence of inflation, we need to keep in mind that the statistics they rely on exclude food and energy prices. The cost of living is no sweat if you can do without electricity and food. Even if it could be proved that judges who are making rulings that go counter to the

written law produce better results in those particular cases than following the letter of the law would have, that does not make society better off. When laws become unreliable and judges unpredictable, lawsuits become a bonanza for charlatans, who can force honest people to settle out of court, for fear of what some judge might do. The Obama administration seems to be following what might be called “the Detroit pattern” – increasing taxes, harassing businesses and pandering to unions. In the short run, it got mayors re-elected. In the long-run, it reduced Detroit from a thriving city to an economic disaster area, whose population was cut in half, as its most productive citizens fled. The vile people who picket the funerals of American soldiers killed in action are far enough from the mourners not to be heard. It is media attention that magnifies their sick message. Intolerance might not promote progress but it can promote survival. An intolerant Islamic world might outlast the Western world that seems ready to tolerate anything, including the undermining of its own fundamental values and threats to its continued existence. Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305.

OTHER OPINION: NFL DISPUTE

Lockout sidelines Gain upper hand on nature through greater engineering football fans, too COMMENTARY

ILLIONAIRES VS. millionaires? In the National Football League labor dispute, it sure is hard to choose sides. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has taken an especially hard line even though his franchise is the NFL’s wealthiest and he got taxpayers to kick in more than $300 million for his fancy new stadium. On the other side, Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson – he of the $11 million salary – recently compared playing in the NFL to “modern-day slavery.” This month, the players’ union voted to decertify itself, paving the way for an antitrust lawsuit against the league that could reach a judge in early April. The owners have locked out the players, meaning trades, practices and free-agent signings are on hold. The lockout is the league’s first work stoppage since 1987. The 2011 season is in jeopardy. And for what? Well:

The owners want to add to the $1.3 billion they take off the top of the revenue heap so they can maintain stadiums and other infrastructure. The players get 60 percent of what remains. The players want owners to open their books and are balking at the proposed new formula. The two sides are also fighting over whether to extend the regular season by two games and how much to pay rookies. Regardless of who is right, the players and owners are taking the fun out of football. Fans don’t want to read about salary caps, they want to pore over the stats of draft picks. The only way pro football can kill its golden goose is by alienating us, the fans. To both sides: Don’t steal our diversion. There are enough outrageous celebrities and out-oftouch corporate bigwigs out there. They belong on CNN, not ESPN. Chicago Tribune

MAYBE JOHN Muir was a fool. Muir, the godfather of contemporary environmentalism, was among the first activists to proclaim the “oneness” of humans and the natural world and to insist that we seek to live in harmony with our surroundings. So convinced was he of nature’s essential goodness that once during a temblor, he ran out of his cabin at midnight crying “a noble earthquake! A noble earthquake!” But after the events of the last few weeks in Japan, it’s hard to see his point. For the last half-century, Americans have been atoning for the environmental sins of their forefathers, essentially buying into Muir’s worldview. Before the 1960s, the average person generally assumed that human culture – civilization – was an allaround force for good in the world. Indeed, few educated people would have questioned Sigmund Freud’s dictum that the “principal task of civilization, its actual raison d’etre, is to defend us against nature.” But postwar prosperity, the emergence of post-materialist values, the advent of the car culture that allowed us to visit our national parks and the publication of Rachel Carson’s anti-pesticide manifesto “Silent Spring” all converged to raise the idea of environmental protection in the public consciousness. This new environmentalism, aligned with

GREGORY RODRIGUEZ the counterculture of the 1960s and ’70s, turned the tables. The growing awareness of human mismanagement of the Earth – air pollution, endangered species, climate change – inspired people to see human civilization as more of a detriment than a blessing. The need to protect nature from humans supplanted the need to protect humans from nature. Rather than viewing ourselves as overlords of the Earth, we increasingly came to see ourselves, in the Muir-like words of environmental activist Howard Zahniser, “as part of the system of nature, not demigods above or outside it.” One might think that the Japanese earthquake and tsunami would further our sense of humility in the face of nature. But the earthquake and the tsunami – as well as Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean tsunami and tragic earthquakes in Pakistan, Haiti and New Zealand – might also have the opposite effect. In the wake of these catastrophes, Americans could revert to the oldfashioned impulse to master nature. “When you encounter large-scale natural disasters, you recognize how much of our security and well-being is secured by competent engineering,” a liberal Washington

journalist tweeted and told me recently. That sentiment was expressed last January during Australia’s devastating floods. Columnist Chris Gardiner, who contributes to a News Corp. commentary site called The Punch, reacted to the devastation by arguing that humans “should resist the naïve nature worship” and “seek to direct and pacify its destructive outbursts.” Not surprisingly, the National Academy of Engineering would agree. In 2007, it issued a report examining social and governmental responses to recent natural disasters. It concluded that our best chance of dealing with threats from nature was tackling them head on, through “better engineering.” Ironically, the Japanese might be the ones who can lead us into this less naïve and more aggressive stance. With a long tradition of respecting nature’s majesty as well its destructive force, Japan is among the most engineered yet environmentally conscious countries in the world. Despite the death toll and the ruins, Japan’s approach no doubt saved many lives. Our response to this tragedy, then, shouldn’t be to hail the nobility of the earthquake a la John Muir but to redouble our efforts, however imperfect, to tame the Earth.

Obama’s latest ‘war’ just a waste of time PRESIDENT Obama is proud of how he put together the Libyan operation. A model of international cooperation. All the necessary paperwork. Arab League backing. A Security Council resolution. (Everything but a resolution from the Congress of the United States, a minor inconvenience for a citizen of the world.) It’s war as designed by an Ivy League professor. True, it took three weeks to put this together, during which time Moammar Gaddafi went from besieged, delusional (remember those youthful protesters on “hallucinogenic pills”) thug losing support by the hour – to resurgent tyrant who marshaled his forces, marched them to the gates of Benghazi and had the U.S. director of national intelligence predicting that “the regime will prevail.” But what is military initiative and opportunity compared with paper? Well, let’s see how that paper multilateralism is doing. The Arab League already is reversing itself, criticizing the use of force it had just authorized. Amr Moussa, secretary-general of the Arab League, is shocked – shocked! – to find that people are being killed by allied airstrikes. This reaction was dubbed mystifying by one commentator, apparently born yesterday and thus unaware that the Arab League has forever been a collection of cynical, warring, unreliable dictatorships of evershifting loyalties. A British soccer mob has more unity and moral purpose. Yet Obama deemed it a great diplomatic success that the League deigned to permit others to fight and die to save fellow Arabs for whom 19 of 21 Arab states have yet to lift a finger. And what about that brilliant U.N. resolution? • Russia’s Vladimir Putin already is calling the Libya operation a medieval crusade. • China is calling for a ceasefire in place – which would completely undermine the allied effort by leaving Gaddafi in power, his people at his mercy and the country partitioned and condemned to ongoing civil war. • Brazil joined China in that call for a cease-fire. This just hours after Obama ended his fawning two-day Brazil visit. Another triumph of presidential personal diplomacy. And how about NATO? Let’s see. As of this writing, Britain wanted the operation to be led by NATO. France adamantly disagreed, citing Arab sensibilities. Germany wanted no part of anything, going so far as to pull

ANOTHER VIEW

A photograph by Don Carey and words by Chris Ritchie

COMMENTARY CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER four of its ships from NATO command in the Mediterranean. France and Germany walked out of a NATO meeting on Monday, while Norway had planes in Crete ready to go but refused to let them fly until it had some idea who the hell is running the operation. And Turkey, whose prime minister four months ago proudly accepted the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights, has been resistant to the Libya operation from the beginning. And as for the United States, who knows what American policy is? Administration officials insist we are not trying to bring down Gaddafi, even as the president insists that he must go. Although on Tuesday Obama did add “unless he changes his approach.” Approach, mind you. In any case, for Obama, military objectives take a back seat to diplomatic appearances. The president is obsessed with pretending that we are not running the operation – a dismaying expression of Obama’s view that his country is so tainted by its various sins that it lacks the moral legitimacy to ... what? Save Third World people from massacre? Obama seems equally obsessed with handing off the lead role. Hand off to whom? NATO? Quarrelling amid Turkish resistance (see above), NATO still can’t agree on taking over command of the airstrike campaign, which is what has kept Libyan rebels alive. This confusion is purely the result of Obama’s decision to get America into the war and then immediately relinquish American command. Never modest about himself, Obama is supremely modest about his country. America should be merely “one of the partners among many,” he said Monday. No primus inter pares for him. Even the Clinton administration spoke of America as the indispensable nation. And it remains so. Yet at a time when the world is hungry for America to lead – no one has anything near our capabilities – America is led by a man determined that it should not. A man who dithers over parchment. Who starts a war from which he wants out right away. Good God. If you go to take Vienna, take Vienna. If you’re not prepared to do so, better then to stay home and do nothing.

A college rejection doesn’t mean you’ve failed DEAR HIGH School Seniors, I know you weren’t expecting a commencement address. It’s still March, and you haven’t even gotten to throw up at the prom yet. But you are at a crossroads. In a matter of days, you will get letters from colleges to which you applied. Some will be thick. You will like those. Some will be thin. You won’t like those so much. I am here to say: Don’t fret if that letter is thin. You will survive. You might even prosper. It seems incredibly hard to get into colleges these days. You wouldn’t think so, given what they charge. You can run an airport on their room and board bills. Yet last year, places such as Princeton and Brown had nearly 20 percent increases in applicants from the year before. The University of Chicago jumped 42 percent. You’d think they were giving away diplomas, instead of asking for your house, your keys and your firstborn. But even worse than the financial burden on your parents is the implied standards they are setting for you kids. Today, excellence isn’t enough. Gandhi would be put on a waiting list. When we were applying to college, you needed good grades, a decent test score and one teach-

COMMENTARY MITCH ALBOM er willing to forget the time you pulled the fire alarm and write you a recommendation. Today, you need to cure cancer. Preferably before your junior year. As an uncle to 15 nieces and nephews, I have been seeing my share of these applications. I have to say, I don’t know how you do it. First of all, when do you have the time? Your nightly homework is as much as we got the entire ninth grade. And the application itself? Some universities use the “common app,” which permits millions of kids to stuff their credentials into the same essay question. But let’s talk about those questions. They ask you to write about an experience that changed or influenced you. And instead of writing what really comes to mind (a first kiss after soccer practice), you feel compelled to write about saving manatees from extinction off the Gulf Coast. Even if you never did save manatees. Because you heard about some kid who actually did save manatees, and he also carried 100 pairs of pajamas to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and he also plays jazz bass (upright) and in his spare time finished a sequel to

“Catcher in the Rye.” Oh, and he scored 36 on his ACT. I’m not sure such uber-students really exist. But people talk about them. You hear about them getting in to Harvard, Princeton, Stanford. So much so, that good, intelligent, ambitious kids don’t even want to apply to those places, because they don’t feel “special” enough. It’s as if schools today put out a vibe: “What, you don’t know how to reconstruct a hydraulics system? You should have studied harder – in grade school.” Never too young for the fast track? So it was no surprise this month to read of a New York City woman who is suing a private preschool academy for putting her 4-year-old daughter with younger kids and therefore affecting her chances at an Ivy League education. Never mind that all 4-year-olds should be covered in orange paint. This mom is already thinking about the day you seniors are about to face. And she’s terrified. Well, relax. Because here’s the thing: When you get older, you realize college doesn’t make you; you make college. Many an Ivy Leaguer is now lying on a couch, and many a community college grad is running a profitable company. Ironically, just as elite universities have become so precious in their selection, they are being

The Internet has changed everything about information flow. Remember Matt Damon’s character in “Good Will Hunting” who taunts a Harvard student by saying in 50 years he’ll realize he “dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a (bleeping) education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library”? Of course, you don’t remember. You were 4 years old. But there was truth in those words, more today than ever. So believe in yourself. You can springboard from any decent school. Open those mailboxes. And if choice No. 1 doesn’t come through, just remember, even Michael Jordan watched two players picked ahead of him in the NBA draft. What’s that? ... Who’s Michael Jordan?

Arab dictators don’t have the Israel-Palestinian conflict to kick around anymore A WELL-KNOWN maxim from the Dictators’ Handbook advises finding an external enemy to distract the public and thus protect the ruler from his people. The prescription has seen its most successful and enduring application in the Middle East, where two dozen unelected, authoritarian rulers have spent more than half a century telling their populations to ignore their governments’ misdeeds and instead look elsewhere. Despots did all they could to cast the anger of their citizens toward a minuscule nearby state, Israel, the only place in that vast region with a functioning democracy; the only country where a government could, in fact, lose power at the ballot box, surrendering routinely to the will of the people. One of the few positive developments in today’s deeply troubled quest for peace in the Middle East is that prodemocracy movements have taken away from Arab despots, at least for now, that most pernicious of weapons. No longer can they focus their people’s attention on Israel, portray the Jewish state as their primary concern and keep the anti-Israel rage simmering just below the boiling point.

COMMENTARY FRIDA GHITIS Like a magician making the audience look at one hand while maneuvering with the other, despots kept their dungeons filled with pro-democracy activists and other opponents of the regime, cementing their rule through their security apparatus, while convincing their people that their problems could be traced to the hated Israelis and their American friends. Incredibly, many in the West bought this fiction, believing that peace between Israelis and Palestinians was the key to healing what ailed the region. But we now see clearly that their conflict is the last issue on the minds of the millions of Arabs and Iranians risking their lives to bring down oppressive regimes. Protesters in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia have said nothing about the Palestinian issue. The protests have revealed a yearning to improve life for 300 million Arabs, rather than focus on the 3 percent of them who are Palestinians. For decades, officials from Washington, London and Paris would travel to Arab capitals, sit down with dictators and hear the canard. Western officials

believed it, even though much more important problems pressed. For rulers seeking to stay in power, this is a significant loss. They won’t give up the weapon without a fight. Similarly, militants still bent on Israel’s destruction also have suffered a blow with their loss of priority in the Arab world. They, too, miss the focus on Israel. Stoking the conflict might just bring it back. That’s why a few days ago, terrorists butchered five members of a Jewish family, stabbing an 11-year-old boy and then his 4-year-old brother before murdering their parents and their baby sister. In the growing global effort to isolate Israel, reaction to the massacre, incredibly, some people sought to justify a sickening act that nothing could excuse. Iran, too, which portrays itself as a champion of the oppressed, would like nothing more than to see a sudden surge in anti-Israel sentiment. An outbreak of violence would help divert attention from the brutal way in which Tehran is suppressing its reform movement. Authorities have arrested opposition leaders, imprisoned, executed and tortured large numbers of people they view as a threat to the Islamic Republic. Iran is taking advantage of regional

turmoil to re-arm its allies and strengthen their position in the changing Arab world. Israeli forces just seized a ship carrying 50 tons of Iranian weapons from Syria, destined for Gaza’s Hamas militants. Amid calls for democratic reform, Middle Eastern dictators seeking to remain in power, and extremist groups trying to revive support for their flagging cause, might try to trigger a new

conflict with Israel. After all, the Dictators’ Handbook and the history of the region tell us that an increase in violence between Israelis and Palestinians could give a boost to the threatened fortunes of extremists and dictators.

Equip new council to do its job well

lmost all members of the Hanover Area School Board use laptops at their meetings. They can load materials needed for each meeting and archive them, too. Financial reports, budget proposals and the upcoming meeting’s agenda can be viewed in advance. They also get e-mails from both citizens and school officials as they are composed. This helps members stay focused on meeting issues and not on getting organized, pulling files, etc. The chairman of the school board is even able to make PowerPoint presentations during meetings. When the new members of the Luzerne County Council take office in 2012, they also should use laptops for their work and meetings. This would make communications from the clerk of county council and from the chairperson more efficient, by giving the members time to prepare for discussions at the meeting.

For an example of how things can go wrong, at recent Sugar Notch Council meetings a lot of confusion was created by many miscues. First, the chairman tried to call a special meeting with only one day’s notice and no advertising. This set off a chain of events that the local newspapers and TV news covered. Then they held a meeting to pass the budget, without balancing it. At the next regular meeting, they tried to balance it by raising the personal income tax above 1 percent, which is not allowed by state law. Finally, they passed a halfmill increase in the property tax, which did not close the gap completely. To say this process became a comedy of errors is kind. Several years ago, I surveyed a dozen councils in

Luzerne County to see if they would support a non-credit program of classes at Luzerne County Community College to help train new members and even upgrade skills of present council members. Only Edwardsville wanted it. Let’s try and give the new county council members the tools they might need to succeed. Mario J. Fiorucci Jr. Democratic candidate Luzerne County Council Sugar Notch

ple: I bring positive government experience to the table. We tried to go with new faces and what we perceived as “character,” thinking that good intentions were what was needed to overcome the mismanagement of county government. We all know how wrong we were. The thought that “nothing succeeds more than experience” has proven to be words to live by. Corruption and a debt of $460 million dollars was the fruit of inexperience. We had nothing on which to judge our candidates except their public personas. Now I’m convinced that we need a mixture of good intention and proven experience. We must take the time to research each of the many candidates for county council and choose wisely. This council will build the foundation of our future government, and the responsibility of the voters is nothing less than awesome. I stand on my proven ability, experience as an elected official and the strength of my family. I have learned the value of good government and seek this office with full confidence that if elected, I will

have a positive influence in our new government. Michelle Bednar Democratic candidate Luzerne County Council Wapwallopen

Balance cuts with state pay freezes

am very happy that Mark Guydish’s column (“Governor is passing pain down the line,” March 10) and the subsequent letter from Lucia Harkenreader (March 17) have said it all about where the priorities are in the government’s budget, be it state or federal. I think this budget needs some more slashing, and a return of some money that was cut from certain areas. The major question: Why do both state and federal legislators need to have a raise every year? Why can’t this money be put to better use in funding for our education systems, libraries, senior programs and many other needed agencies for the people out there who are taxpayers. It has never made sense to me why

the people at the top of the ladder still reap their benefits, bonuses and raises while those who are in the middle and lower classes get everything reduced except their taxes. To be fair, I know that some of the legislators do give their increases in pay to charities. However, why can’t there be a freeze on their pay? In regard to education, how about funding for specialized programs? Since many of the European countries are ahead of the United States in educating children, let’s study their ways of teaching. We need to at least get our children up to par with those countries. We need to make college affordable to everyone who wants a degree in whatever subject they are most interested. Why not a technical school for those people who are either not interested in college or don’t meet the grade requirements? These two avenues need to be encouraged. Maybe we would then have a better economy and less crime. Florence Mokris Wilkes-Barre

t breaks my heart to think of the loss of the Hotel Sterling and the hole that will be left in Wilkes-Barre’s skyline. But if it absolutely must come down, I believe there is no better way to fill the void than with a big city-style marketplace such as the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia or West Side Market in Cleveland. It would serve as a yearround, indoor farmers market. This would be perfect for downtown, especially for residents who have nowhere nearby to buy groceries or goods. The Reading Terminal Market has food vendors with cuisine from all over the world: Thai, Indian, Mediterranean, Amish, Mexican – anything you can imagine, all under one roof. Fishmongers, butchers, fresh flower vendors, arts and crafts vendors, spice vendors; it has it all. This would be unique to our region, be a tourist draw and be a destination that would serve the entire Valley. It would be an excellent lunch stop for all the office workers as well as the college students. It would draw people back downtown and be a major incentive for people considering moving to downtown. It also would work very well with the new River Common across the street. I think there would be no better use for that space. Bill Cook Wilkes-Barre

In times of crisis, faith also is vital

with faith, no explanation is necessary, and for those without faith, no explanation is good enough.”

n response to the letter to the editor from Justin Vacula titled “Natural disasters require our help, not our prayers” (March 17). Christians do believe that God created the universe and, yes, God has a perfect will for all of us. However, he does allow things to happen, even tragedies such as in Japan. Why this had to happen is a mystery. That is not saying God is without any feelings or emotions. The essence of God is “unconditional love.” During this Lenten season, it is a good time to reflect on the Crucifixion. God loved us so much that he allowed his son to die an ignominious, cruel death so that we might be saved. Some say there is no hell; but if that is true, why would Christ die on the cross? From what would he need to save us? Many praying Christians are led to donate their time and money to help out the cause. It is a biblical truth that God calls us to tithe and give alms. In closing, I would like to offer this quotation: “For those

Kudos to women’s agency founders

uring March while we celebrate women who have helped to shape our nation and our world, I draw attention to a few area women who arguably have done more to push for the rights and safety of women in our community than anyone in the last century. In the early 1970s a handful of women turned into a call to action their disgust for a legal, political and cultural system that did little to protect women who had been battered, raped and psychologically beaten into submission. They were tired of hearing about women who turned to a failed legal system in hopes of exercising their “inalienable rights” as human beings. They grew frustrated listening to how victims of rape had the history of their sexual activities paraded before the courts and the public or, in the case

of domestic abuse, were portrayed as dependents and incompetents who were not capable of providing for their own needs, let alone those of their spouses. In 1974, Dr. Linda Mascetti, Kate Lavery, Rozanne Ciavarella and Carol Lavery turned their concerns into reality by creating Women Organized Against Rape, which later became the Victims’ Resource Center. Over the past 37 years the agency has provided thousands of women with court accompaniment, information on rights under the law and educational programs to stem the incidence of sexual assault upon women. Often, the services were provided with compassion and a strong shoulder. Two years later, Dr. Linda Day and Carol Hussa formed the Domestic Violence Service Center, a place where battered women could escape daily torture and be provided with a safe shelter, support counseling, legal advocacy and a referral system to empower them. Each of these organizations has worked tirelessly to educate law enforcement, the medical providers and the community at large about protecting the rights and the dignity of the women in our community. Through the years, the organizations have integrated other service providers into a network of agencies that stand ready around the clock to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Links to social service systems, schools, legislators, law enforcement and the courts continue to this day.

Colorectal cancer testing saves lives

very year during March, medical professionals, patients, family members and others observe National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month – a time when concerned individuals raise awareness about the incidence of colorectal cancer. The message is straightforward: There are simple steps we all can take to prevent and diagnose this disease. According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the second-leading cancer killer in the United States, claiming almost 50,000 lives every year. What’s more, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, the state’s colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates

are higher than the national average (57.9 per 100,000 compared to the U.S. average of 52.0). Obviously, this is a disease that can’t be ignored. Fortunately, however, colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable and easily detected cancers, if screening occurs early enough. Regular colorectal screenings can detect polyps that can be removed before they become cancerous. Whether you’re male or female, follow these guidelines beginning at age 50 (age 45 if African-American): • Have a fecal occult blood test yearly, which may be combined with a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years; or ... • Have a colonoscopy every 10 years. • If you have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, colorectal polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, talk with your health care professional about earlier screening. No matter what your age, you should know colorectal cancer risk factors, symptoms and your family history. Make screening tests part of your healthy life. Talk with your doctor about the colorectal screening options available, using the above list as a guide. Colorectal cancer is highly preventable, treatable and often curable when detected early. Do the right thing for yourself and your family: Get screened early.

SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 2011 tirement, nor does the almost four years of mobilization before 2008. “I think it is sort of important for the government to help out the folks who have done multiple deployments,” said Clauss, of East Providence, R.I. “We’ve answered the call.” Little has changed in the structure of the retirement system for members of the Guard and Reserve since it was created in 1948, when Guard and Reserve troops were only expected to be called up for war service like that in World War II, said retired Army Col. Bob Norton, deputy director of government relations at the Military Officers Association of America. The Guard and Reserves were leaned on heavily in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo and then after 9/11. “The national policy changed, but the compensation system was the same at it was in 1948 when it was created,” Norton said. “We’re now imposing a lot more sacrifice on families and — think about this — on the adverse impact on a Reservist’s capability of pursuing a meaningful civilian career.” Some in Congress pushed to give members of the Guard and Reserve one year of early retirement for every two years of war service. And they wanted them to be able to use the military’s health insurance, Tricare, at retirement without having to wait until age 60. What passed the Senate in 2007 was a provision that allowed those called up after Sept. 11 to have one day of early retirement for every day they

Congress only included Guard and Reserve members deployed after the law was signed in early 2008, leaving out the 600,000 troops mobilized between the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the time the law was enacted. The combined issues could mean retirement will be delayed months or even years for thousands of Guard and Reserve members. To fix the glitches would cost an estimated $2 billion, money that would be hard to find in the current budget crisis. “It’s more than a mess,” said retired Navy Capt. Ike Puzon, director of government affairs at the Association of the United States Navy in Alexandria, Va. About 800,000 Guard and Reserve troops have mobilized for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than 1,100 have died. Others have come home from war to find their jobs downsized and little work available. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer David E. Clauss, 46, an electronics technician, is one such member looking for a job. The reservist was mobilized to do security in Groton, Conn., for almost two years after 9/11. He later did military customs duty, primarily in Kuwait, and then earned a Bronze Star for work in Afghanistan in 2008-2009 helping to train the Afghan military. About five months of his work in Afghanistan likely doesn’t count toward early re-

The situation has added insult to injury for troops already upset that Congress only included Guard and Reserve members deployed after the law was signed in early 2008, leaving out the 600,000 troops mobilized between the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the time the law was enacted. were mobilized. But when House and Senate negotiators met to hammer out annual defense spending, it was determined there wasn’t enough money to retroactively give the benefit to those who served before 2008. “It seems unfair,” said Air Force Maj. Sharon Dondlinger, 36, of Manassas Park, Va., a reservist who did more than a year of security duty in Atlanta following 9/11 and then deployed to Iraq in 2005. “It doesn’t seem fair that an arbitrary date of when the legislation was passed should make someone’s time mobilized more

valuable than mine.” Only later did the fiscal-year wording issue become apparent. At a hearing last year, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., told Assistant Defense Secretary Dennis McCarthy that Congress intended for time for early retirement “to be counted regardless of whether the active duty period occurred across fiscal years.” He said the Defense Department “somehow has implemented this that if it is across the fiscal years, that it doesn’t count at all.” McCarthy responded that he was “well aware of the anoma-

ly.” “I think everybody understands that it is not what ... the Congress intended” and “is not the right thing to do,” McCarthy said. He said wasn’t sure if it was going to take a legislative fix or a directive from the Pentagon to resolve the issue. In a statement, Lt. Col. Robert L. Ditchey II, a Defense Department spokesman, said the Defense Department is “fully committed to providing benefits to members as intended by legislation. We are working with Congress to resolve this interpretation concern and ensure that congressional intent

is met.” Reps. Tom Latham, R-Iowa, and Dan Boren, D-Okla., recently wrote a letter to House colleagues asking support for legislation they said they plan to file that would eliminate the fiscal-year glitch. Meanwhile, Navy Cmdr. Pamela Boyd Shields, 59, who would have retired from the Reserves by now if her service after 9/11 had counted, said she can’t believe Congress hasn’t already resolved the matter. “I think this is how Congress just lets things go away,” said Boyd Shields, of Alexandria, Va. “They just ignore it.”

DREAM Continued from Page 1E

where people have equality of opportunity, not outcome, we would expect to see more movement,” said Erin Currier, project manager at the Economic Mobility Project. “We would expect that people would not look so predictably like their parents.” At the same time, some are slipping downward, particularly minorities. Pew found that 16 percent of children in middle-income families will fall all the way to the bottom. Among African-Americans, 45 percent will fall to the bottom. “There is not equality of opportunity in the way we as a nation imagine there is,” Currier said. “The American dream is struggling.” It has been since the mid-to-late 1970s. One key may have been the decline of unions in the private sector, which previously had helped increase wages not only for members, but also for workers in some non-union businesses, by setting a benchmark. Bruce Western, a sociology professor at Harvard University, said that middle-class incomes started to stagnate around the time that private-sector union membership started to decline. From 1974 to 2007, private-sector union membership dropped from 34 percent to 8 percent for men, and from 16 percent to 6 percent for women, according to Western. At the same time, income at the bottom and middle of the scale started to stagnate, and the gap between rich and poor grew by 40 percent, he said. Today, fewer than 7 of 100 jobs in the private sector are unionized. About 36 of every 100 government jobs are unionized, but workers there are under heavy pressure to take pay cuts and pay more for benefits, as their neighbors in the private sector also have

done. “We actually were looking to buy a house, and we stopped doing that because we don’t know what our income is going to be,” police officer Hope Rummell of Alliance, Ohio, told The Washington Post. “We’re strong middle class. We went to college and we do okay. But we have a real fear that this will kill out a large percentage of the middle class in this state.” She was speaking about the push in Ohio to cut public-sector spending and limit collective bargaining. She could’ve been speaking for millions of Americans in similar straits. The feeling of betrayal by one’s own government appears to run within both public-employee union members angry at efforts to roll back their benefits, and tea party protesters, who rallied first against government bailouts of Wall Street bankers, then at the Democratic health care law. “There is a connection,” said Western at Harvard University. “They’re really angered by a violation of what they think is fair. ... In the tea party, it was connected to bailouts. ... There was a real sense of unfairness at a time when people were struggling economically. ’Why were those people bailed out?’ And that’s exactly what was happening in Wisconsin. They see the idea that their bargaining rights would be stripped as unfair.” Beyond unfair, people see the government as turning a deaf ear to them. “People believe they were disempowered,” said White of Catholic University. “Tea party activists felt they were shut out of power. Now people in Wisconsin feel they were locked out of the process.” At least for now, there appears to be no sign that either party has found the politically persuasive answer to the nation’s pocketbook anxiety. The country is not rallying to either political party or coa-

Historically, such numbers are much higher at the outset of a war. So expect the numbers to get worse. Sen. Mark Kirk, the Illinois Republican and U.S. naval intelligence officer, was speaking at the City Club of Chicago the other day, and I caught up to him there. “The president needs to clearly define the war aims and who is in command,” said Kirk, who supports the war in Libya. “My hope is that when he returns to the United States, he needs to speak to the nation because he’s just taken the country to war,” Kirk said. “And a presidential address from the Oval Office is necessary to out-

eteorologists might apologize, and radio talk-show hosts might grouse. But not everyone wants to scream and holler or hide when snow and ice and hail — yes, there was hail last week — prove once again that spring in Northeastern Pennsylvania can be as cold as winter. Photographer Mike Burnside sees beauty in all types of weather, in all seasons. “My mantra as a photographer is a quote from Thoreau: ‘What matters is not what you look at but what you see.’ “That’s why I love Northeastern Pennsylvania,” he continued. “We have all the extremes, not to the extent that some people do — the people who have so much more winter than summer or more summer than winter.

It looks as if someone was walking across a frozen Harveys Lake.

Photographer Burnside likes to move in close for icy pictures that will make people say ‘wow.’

Is ‘The Bachelor’ too lily white? Move over, Sheen; there’s a new talker in town By GREG BRAXTON Los Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — For fans of “The Bachelor” and its spinoff, “The Bachelorette,” who have wondered why the veteran ABC dating franchise has never spotlighted a nonwhite contestant in the title role in any of its combined 21seasons, the shows’ creator has come up with at least a partial answer: People of color apparently don’t want to be on the show. “We always want to cast for ethnic diversity,” Mike Fleiss said in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, adding, “It’s just that for whatever reason, they don’t come forward. I wish they would.” But one of television’s top

“We always want to cast for ethnic diversity. It’s just that for whatever reason, they don’t come forward. I wish they would.” Mike Fleiss Creator of ’The Bachelor’ and ’The Bachelorette’

producers had another word for the absence of minorities on “The Bachelor:” racism. “They blame minorites (sic) for ‘not coming forward.’ What a joke,” Shawn Ryan, creator of “The Shield” and Fox’s “The Chicago Code,” wrote on Twitter, discussing Fleiss’ comments. Ryan, whose dramas have included leading and prominent minority characters, maintained the absence was

indicative of “straight up racism. They just don’t think America will watch black bachelor (sic) or root for mixed-race marriage.” Fleiss, who is about to start production on the seventh edition of “The Bachelorette,” scheduled to premiere May 23, declined comment. Ryan also declined to elaborate. Still, Ryan’s blasts represent See BACHELOR, Page 5F

He also might jump up and declare, as he did in a recent interview, “It’s CRAZY good!” The 66-year-old actor is keenly aware of the perceptions about him — he knows you think he’s crazy. And he knows it has everything to do with a litany of well-publicized highs and lows that span more than three decades in Hollywood — a battle with drugs after his lead-actor Oscar nomination for 1978’s “The Buddy Holly Story,” a near-fatal motorcycle crash that caused a traumatic brain injury in 1988, an appearance as his “crazy” self on a 2007 episode of “Entourage,” a stint on VH-1’s “Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew” in 2008 and an unsolicited

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

CRYPTOGRAMS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your home environment develops to reflect your ever-changing life. With a few tasteful artistic choices and some cleaning supplies, you’ll turn your space into a place of inspiration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In one area of life, you’ve been settling for less than you deserve. You may think it can’t get better, but try anyway. Demand the best for yourself, and see how the possibilities open up. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just as your breathing, voice and physical grace can be helped through proper body alignment, your bank account can be helped by the proper alignment of your work and purpose. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You could accomplish something important today. It falls under the category of “above and beyond the call of duty,” and that is precisely what makes it the most winning use of your time. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Life is like a song. Your favorite part is when the chorus kicks in and everyone sings together. That part is coming around again. Friends will accompany you, and all will join in revelry. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You probably feel that you don’t have time to relax — a sign that you absolutely need to. As much as you resist the idea now, leisure is essential to your health and well-being. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You set up invisible personal boundaries. You make it clear what is and is not appropriate. Loved ones respect the lines you’ve drawn and appreciate the structure. Everyone will get along better as a result. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Remain vigilant for the next three days. Once you establish a rule, whether for yourself or others, keep it. If you break or change the rule, you won’t be taken seriously. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You gravitate toward healthy people and relationships that reflect a balanced level of give and take. As you continue in this manner, you will overcome the obstacles of your childhood. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Being your own person is easier for you than it is for some. You are not afraid to call things as you see them, though others around you may be too diplomatic to do so. Today, you’ll be the voice of truth. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your input will be valued and your views respected. Though it hasn’t always been this way for you, this is what you deserve. Get used to it! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Favors will be asked of you. Some are doable; others make you feel uncomfortable. It is possible to be friendly and accommodating without dropping all that you’re doing to meet an inappropriate demand. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 27). This year brings levity and love. Sometimes you have to lose your head to find your heart. Through the next 10 weeks, you’ll feel your happiness rise to a new level. June brings a significant deal to your table. There will be a reunion in August. Family additions happen in November. You have a special connection with Capricorn and Sagittarius people. Your lucky numbers are: 34, 16, 3, 29 and 4.

DEAR ABBY ADVICE

Couple can’t agree on best way to break up Dear Abby: My wife of 16 years, “Barb,” and I argue constantly. We can’t seem to agree on anything, have few common interests and don’t enjoy our time together. Our love life is nonexistent. We have gone to three marriage counselors and it hasn’t helped. We now “get along” by avoiding each other. I think it’s time we faced the fact that we’re never going to be happy together. When I bring this up with Barb, she gets angry and launches into the same old tirade, saying if I want a divorce I’ll have to get a lawyer. Divorce will be difficult and costly enough without having to drag lawyers into it. I’d like us to agree that it’s time to split and use a mediator to work out the details. It will save us a lot of money and, hopefully, make the divorce less acrimonious. I don’t understand why Barb wants to stay together when she’s so unhappy and we’re unable to make things better. How can I make her see that separating — in as kind a way as possible — will be best for us and the kids included? — “Former” Husband in Longmont, Colo.

Dear “Former” Husband: Your wife may prefer the evils she’s living with to the unknown of being a divorcee with children. However, when a marriage is over — it’s over. And when it reaches the stage that yours has, what both parties need to be most concerned about is preservation of assets, so they aren’t dissipated in attorney’s fees. I have seen both kinds of divorces — one in which the warring spouses spent so much money in litigation there was little left for each of them when it was over; and the other, in which the couple agreed their marriage was broken beyond repair and arranged their divorce with as little cost as possible. I don’t have to tell you which people are doing well now. So clip this and share it with your wife.

Asked about his experience working on the Trump series, Buseyproclaimed,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itwasasgoodasit could be at the time. It is what is, it was what it was.â&#x20AC;? The show also prompted an unexpected breakthrough. As usual, many of his teammates were caught off guard by Buseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loud talking and inability sometimes to immediately grasp words. But fellowcontestantMarleeMatlin,who is deaf, concluded that much of Buseyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressiveness was because of hearing loss, a legacy of his 1988 accident. (When the actor was fitted with a new state-of-the-art

hearing aid, his world changed, he said.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more to Gary than weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Celebrity Rehab,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? said Eden Gaha, an executive producer on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Celebrity Apprentice.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;His whole process is different.

Because of a few difficulties with myself, it caused me to retreat from my true self. After â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Buddy Holly Story,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I went over the rainbow. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to handle everything that came at me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve moved on into the light.

which also includes other celebrity sideshows such as singer LaToya Jackson, Richard Hatch (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Survivorâ&#x20AC;?) and former baseball star Jose Canseco. Busey joined the show in part to help dispel lingering negative views â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s named the Center for Head Injury Services as his charity in the celebrity contest. And his so-called Buseyisms, his lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wisdom and philosophy communicated in the breakdown of words, has found a cult following on YouTube. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know what FEAR stands for?â&#x20AC;? he asked as he held court in the Hollywood Hills home of his fianceeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;False Evidence Appearing Real.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know what FREEDOM stands for?â&#x20AC;? continued the actor, who is engaged to Steffanie Sampson, with whom he has a1-year-old ÂŽ

BACHELOR Continued from Page 1F

some of the harshest public criticisms yet of what is one of ABC’s most high-profile franchises — “The Bachelor” just completed its 15th edition. While the reality television genre and its top shows such as “American Idol,” “Dancing With the Stars,” “The Biggest Loser” and “The Amazing Race” have always put a premium on showcasing a broad range of people reflective of a diverse America, “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” have proved the exception since the series launched in 2002. And even though ABC executives maintained two years ago that the show was “exploring” the possibilities of casting a person of color in the pivotal role, insiders said producers had little interest in pursuing a more diverse cast and were unwilling to vary the chemistry of a hugely popular series and wary of a potential controversy stemming from an interracial romance. Said Fleiss in the interview, “We tell better stories, we cast more relatable people, and we’ve survived while others have fallen by the wayside.”

Brad Womack was ABC’s latest ‘Bachelor.’

A further obstacle to more diversity is the show’s structure, in which the single “star” selects from a pool of romantic interests. A familiar pattern of “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” is that the few minority singles in the initial group of participants rarely survive beyond the first elimination. One of the finalists is later chosen as the next “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette.” In the Entertainment Weekly interview, Fleiss said he believed the new “Bachelorette,” Ashley Hebert, was one-sixteenth “Cherokee Indian, but I cannot confirm. But that is my suspicion.”

“As a photographer I love to go walking in the woods, 12 months out of the year.” So Burnside, 61, who lives at Harveys Lake, can look out at an ice-covered lake, with what appears to be a line of footprints streaking across it, and reach with delight for his camera. He looks at the soft glow of the sun reflecting on a snowy field, the mystery of a snow-strewn path leading into the woods, the flash-frozen sight of a leaf encased in ice – and sees more and more photo opportunities. “It’s snowing very heavily,” Burnside said Wednesday morning as he set out to visit his dentist – and shoot more images. “The trees are just gorgeous, but I think some branches will come down. That’s the bad part.” Burnside accepts the loss with the gain, because it’s all part of

By CARL HARTMAN For The Associated Press

“The Jersey Sting: A True Story of Corrupt Pols, Money Laundering Rabbis, Black Market Kidneys, and the Informant Who Brought it All Down” (St. Martin’s Press), by Ted Sherman and Josh Margolin:

It was like a small military undertaking when the FBI deployed over 300 agentsineasternNewJerseyandtheNewYorkborough of Brooklyn early one July morning in 2009. They captured 44 people, including five rabbis. Most were accused of political bribery, money laundering and tax evasion. One rabbi was charged with trafficking in human kidneys. The story of “The Jersey Sting” is meticulously, seriously — and humorously — told by Ted Sherman and Josh Margolin, two reporters at The StarLedger in Newark, N.J. (Margolin now works for the New York Post.) Coverage of the investigation by Sherman and Margolin and The Star-Ledger staff was awarded the Jesse Laventhol Prize for Deadline News Reporting from the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and also was honored as finalists for the Pultizer Prize. The tale is complex. It centers on the career of

Solomon Dwek, the son of a rabbi. He combined the roles of an unlicensed real estate broker, school executive, money launderer, political operator with a specialty in bribes, and an FBI informant wearing a concealed camera and voice recorder. Dwek’s work for the FBI was authorized by U.S. Attorney Chris Christie, now governor of New Jersey and a not-too-dark horse for the Republican nomination in the 2012 presidential race. Christiewasalsothe firsttoannounce Dwek’sarrest following a plea agreement. Dwek pleaded guilty of trying to defraud a bank by cashing two phony checks — $25 million each. It was an attempt to shore up a Ponzi scheme in connection with his real estate business. He faces nine to 11 years in prison, remaining under “house arrest” while other cases are being decided. So it’s not light reading to undertake instead of a TV whodunit after a heavy dinner and a long day at theoffice.Thealertreaderwillalsogetanintroduction to New Jersey politics and its reputation for corruption. It’s a help that the authors have furnished a convenient cast of characters with nearly 100 names and roles.

As an international reporter, Eugene Linden got his first — and disturbing — assignment during the Vietnam War: to look into “fragging,” a form of revenge by American draftees against officers for real or imagined mistreatment. A fragmentation grenade tossed into officers’ quarters would shatter into such small pieces that identifying the perpetrator was almost impossible. Later, he specialized in remote destinations while covering the environment AP PHOTO for Time magazine. Primitive cultures with their own paths for the pursuit of happiness have collided with ideas of later centuries in ways that promoted neither of them. Such “ragged edges” often appear in his books. “The Ragged Edge of the World: Encounters at the Frontier Where Modernity, Wildlands and Indigenous Peoples Meet” describes the Penan, hunter-gatherers living in heights of the huge South Pacific island of Borneo. Elders told Linden they kept blowpipes for hunting; guns cost too much. They knew a butterfly — the yap lempuhan — whose seasonal appearance heralded the best time to hunt wild boar and gather favorite fruits. Using blowpipes, it was argued, helps keep alive the knowledge of where to find plants that furnish the best wood for them, the poisons that are its best ammunition, and antidotes in case of accidents. That may have impressed senior Penan. “Later,” Linden writes, “I was introduced to a Penan secondary school student away from the highlands for his studies. When I asked him about the butterfly, he looked at me as if I had three heads.” Linden also describes climatologists in Antarctica who are concerned with the cold weather, the inadequacies of Antarctic bathrooms and the fate of the continent’s ice masses. “... (A) large cohort of scientists,” he writes, “is monitoring Antarctica’s vast ice sheets, where any change would have global implications. ... If the WAIS (West Antarctic Ice Sheet) disintegrated and slipped into the sea, it would raise the sea level by 16 feet. (For the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, the number would be 170 feet.)” That’s almost a third of the way up the Washington Monument. When he first visited Antarctica, says Linden, there was little real anxiety about a thaw like that actually occurring “on a time scale meaningful to anyone living today. Now, 13 years later, there is genuine concern that this might happen.”

Brockmann’s ‘Breaking the Rules’ light on romance, heavy on grit By LEZLIE PATTERSON McClatchy-Tribune News Service

“Breaking the Rules” by Suzanne Brockmann; Random House (2011), 505 pages, $26 (hardcover)

Suzanne Brockmann’s books in recent years have become increasingly gritty — disturbingly so. For example, in this story the intrigue involves a gang of bad guys involved in enslaving girls and women and forcing them to prostitute themselves. This is described in detail as it regards the young girl the protagonists are trying to help. Definitely disturbing and at the tip top of the gritty scale. Like Brockmann’s recent books, “Breaking the Rules” is not an easy read. It does give you a quasi-love story of two different couples, both whom got their starts in earlier novels. Eden and Izzy, an estranged

married couple who separated after Eden’s miscarriage in “Into the Fire,” find their happily-ever-after in this book, as do Dan and Jennilyn. Dan and Jennilyn met in “Hot Pursuit,” where Dan rescued the kidnapped damsel in distress. Dan blew it, though, when Jennilyn overheard him saying some not-so-nice things to Izzy. Still, Jennilyn gave him a chance to reconcile. In “Breaking the Rules”, he does. The other interesting dynamic, which helps blend the two relationships, is that Dan is Eden’s brother. The fact that Dan despises Izzy adds a bit of interest as well.

As is the case with most of the stories in her recent series, Brockmann does promote her social causes — gay rights, in particular. In this case, that particular focus is on the teen-age brother of one of the two heroines, Eden. In “Breaking the Rules,” Eden returns to town to take care of her younger brother, whose life as a gay teen-ager has put him in a precarious situation with his stepfather. The younger brother befriends a young girl who escaped that horribly gritty situation and is hiding from the men who want her back there. Dan was injured in Afghanistan, but with his letters and devotion had convinced Jenn of his real love for her. She helps him recuperate, and is with him with Eden calls her brother for help. That puts the two couples, plus younger brother, in danger with the mean gritty

HOW IT STACKS UP Overall rating: 3-minus of 5 hearts, for those of us who would rather be simply and somewhat mindlessly entertained with real, sappy romance rather than preached to about a social agenda. There is enough romance for those who like that with their gritty suspense stories, and those who are as passionate about Brockmann’s cause as she obviously is may like the reinforcement. Hunk appeal: 10. There are two in this story, and they both get the

same grade although Izzy is closer to the plus and Dan nudges the minus. Izzy has been extremely patient and understanding to Eden, and totally devoted. Dan messed up big-time in “Hot Pursuit” and while he does make amends in this book, he is hampered by his injury. Steamy scene grade: XXXXX. No stumbles. Happily-Ever-After: Good. Both couples end up together and happy, and the bad guys get thwarted.

men. Dan and Izzy get some help from their friends (that readers will recognize from earlier books in the series) and all is well — at least until the next book in this Troubleshooters series. If you like edgy books that push a social agenda, with a mega-dose

of grit and lighter portion of romance that relies a lot on steamy scenes, read “Breaking the Rules.” If you want something lighter, not preachy, less disturbing and more focused on romance, look for some of Brockmann’s earlier works.

People brave low temperatures to take photographs of the blooming cherry-blossom trees. The date when the cherry blossoms reach their peak bloom varies from year to year, depending on the weather. The cherry trees have yet to hit their blooming peak.

BLOOMING BEAUTIES Cherry-blossom events begin in D.C.

Associated Press

ASHINGTON — The flowering trees that symbolize friendship between the United States and Japan are blooming for the 99th time in Washington in the wake of one of the world’s worst natural disasters. Before the two-week National Cherry Blossom Festival opened Saturday, organizers held a fundraising walk and vigil Thursday evening among the trees for victims of Japan’s March 11 earthquake and tsunami. An estimated 18,000 people have been killed in the disaster. Several hundred people gathered at the Washington Monument on a cold evening, some holding Japanese flags or signs of support. Japanese Ambassador Ichiro Fujisaki told the crowd that his country needs help. “Everything started on what I call 3/11 — earthquake, tsunami and nuclear incident — and we are still struggling,” he said. “This is a very tough fight, but the consolation is people around the world are trying to be with us.” Fujisaki said the United States sent one of the first rescue teams and military support. “Really, we need your assistance, and you’re giving that to us,” he said. After a gathering and moment of silence, the ambassador joined a crowd in walking to the cherry blossom trees along the Tidal Basin, holding glow sticks. Donation bins lined the sidewalk to benefit

American Red Cross relief efforts. Toshiko Saidel of Rockville, Md., brought her three daughters to support the nation where she was born. “A lot of people are suffering right now,” she said. “We just want them to know we support them.” Seven-year-old Maya Saidel said she has started a toy drive at her suburban Maryland school for students to support children in Japan. “I’m guessing there’s going to be a lot of toys,” she said, adding that she will ask for more dona-

tions Friday during morning announcements at school. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who represents the District of Columbia in Congress, said the cherry blossoms will be a reminder of Japan’s resiliency. She said the Washington festival also will rally support. “This year, the cherry blossoms will remind the world to stand for Japan,” Norton said. “It’s important that we’re taking time to reflect,” said festival director Diana Mayhew. The celebration is a symbol of spring each year and now of the rebirth and rebuilding for Japan, she said. “Our relationship with Japan is at the heart,” she said. Fujisaki told The Associated Press he is grateful for such support from U.S. residents, though

he declined to ask for further donations. It’s too soon to know how Japan will pay to rebuild the country as the government is still focused on search and rescue, basic human needs and its nuclear reactors, he said. “I am very grateful that American people are voluntarily extending their hands,” Fujisaki said. “This is really an impressive show of goodwill.” Contributions for relief efforts

have lagged behind fundraising totals in the days after Haiti’s earthquake and after Hurricane Katrina to this point, according to a tally by the Chronicle of Philanthropy. The cherry-blossom tradition began with a gift of trees from Japan in 1912. Then-first lady Helen Taft and the wife of Japan’s ambassador planted the first two trees. About 100 of the original 3,000 trees are still growing,

while thousands of others have been replaced or grown from the original trees’ genetic line. The festival draws about 1 million visitors and has become big business for Washington’s tourism industry. Nearly half the visitors travel from out of town, according to the city’s tourism bureau. A study of last year’s festival shows it generated about $126 million in hotel stays and other revenue.
