WILKES-BARRE As its
once-majestic landmark neigh-
bor sees a bleak, uncertain fu-
ture, the brick four-story build-
ing known as the Sterling Annex
just north of the Sterling Hotel
on River Street may soon have a
new lease on life with a new
owner.
Purchased in
2004 by the
Greater Wilkes-
Barre Chamber
of Business and
Industry for
$125,000, the
29,522-square-
foot structure
was built in
1912 as an Elks Lodge and was
acquired by the Hotel Sterling
owners around World War II,
when it took on its annex name,
according to Times Leader ar-
chives.
The building was used as an
ancillary ballroom and meeting
space for the hotel before serv-
ing as a Luzerne County Com-
munity College campus in the
late 1960s and 1970s. Offices
were later housed there.
The site has been pitched as a
location for a Susquehanna Riv-
er or Luzerne County Historical
Society museum in the past.
Wilkes University and Kings
College also discussed a joint
museum at one time.

SCRANTON -- Arriving in
handcuffs in federal court for
his arraignment on mail fraud,
attorney Anthony Lupas Jr.
went home
with the pros-
pect of facing
additional
charges as in-
vestigators try
to account for
millions of dol-
lars from peo-
ple who invest-
ed with him.
Assistant
U.S. Attorney
Michelle Ol-
shefski said
she was in dis-
cussion with
attorneys for
Lupas about
bringing the
case before a
grand jury.
We will in-
dict at the ap-
propriate
time, she told
Senior U.S.
District Judge
James Munley
at the arraign-
ment.
The criminal case runs paral-
lel to the civil suits already filed
against Lupas by people, many
of themfriends, who claimed to
have lost their life savings in a
longtime investment scheme
operated by the prominent at-
torney.
Prior to his arraignment, fed-
eral agents served search war-
rants and seized documents
and evidence at Lupas Plains
Township apartment and for-
mer law office on Jackson
Street in Wilkes-Barre. He was
taken into custody at his home.
The criminal complaint filed
against Lupas was under seal
and its contents were not public
at this time. The next step in
the case is a preliminary hear-
ing at which the prosecution
presents evidence to support
the charge that carries a maxi-
mumpenalty of 20 years in pris-
on and a $250,000 fine upon
conviction.
The 77-year-old Lupas, a for-
mer Wilkes-Barre Area School
District solicitor and father of
Luzerne County Judge David
Lupas, was seriously injured in
a fall last year and appeared frail
and weak in court. He was re-
peatedly asked whether he un-
derstood what was happening
at the hearing.
He carried with him a plastic
bag of personal belongings and
used a walker to move about the
courtroom and courthouse. He
declined comment and told re-
porters, Dont take it per-

WASHINGTON The argu-

beensubmitted, as Chief Justice
John Roberts says at the end of
every Supreme Court argu-

Now the justices will wrestle
with what to do with President
Barack Obamas health care
overhaul. They have a range of
options, fromupholding the law
to striking it down in its entire-
ty. The court also could avoid
deciding the laws constitution-
ality at all, although that pros-
pect seems remote after this

And while the rest of us have
to wait until June, the justices
will know the likely outcome of
the health care case by the time
they go home this weekend.
The justices will vote on the
health care lawin under an hour
this morning in a conference
room on the courts main floor.

LOS ANGELES In a further
closing of Republican ranks, for-
mer President George H.W. Bush
formally endorsed or, rather,
re-endorsed Mitt Romney on
Thursday and said it
was time for the party
to get behind the for-
mer Massachusetts
governor.
Appearing with
Romney and former
first lady Barbara Bush
at his office in Hous-
ton, the nations 41st president al-
luded to the1970s country music
hit The Gambler, by Kenny
Rogers, mangling the lyrics
somewhat. I do think its time
for the party to get behind Gov.
Romney, Bush said. Kenny
Rogers sang, Its time when to
hold em and time when to fold
em.
Praising Romneys rivals
whowent unnamedBushsaid,
Some of em waged a very good
fight. But, he went on, the cou-
ple had known Romney for a ve-
ry long time and were so con-
vinced ... that hes the man to do
this job and get on and win the
presidency.
Romney and the Bushes sat to-
gether ina set of matching brown
leather chairs imported from
the White House, the former
president said. He thanked the
couple and restated his familiar
criticisms of President
Barack Obama.
I think were on a
very dangerous path,
Romney said, and I
think its important for
us to select a nominee
and get on with a cam-
paignthat will focus on
two very different visions for
America.
Bushs backing of the Republi-
can front-runner was no surprise.
The two met at Bushs Texas
home inDecember, not longafter
the elder Bush told CNN that
Romney was a reasonable guy, a
conservative fellow and that he
would make a very good presi-
dent. Bush later told the Hous-
ton Chronicle that he thought
Romney was the best choice for
us.
Earlier this month, the Rom-
ney campaign employed a Barba-
ra Bush robocall telling Republi-
cans in Ohio and Vermont that
she and husband had known the
Romney family for years and that
she believed the former governor
was the best man to lead the
country for the next four years.
Bushs announcement was just
the latest in a series of high-pro-
file endorsements that have
helped seal the air of inevitability
around Romneys candidacy,
evenas former Pennsylvania Sen.
Rick Santorum, former House
Speaker Newt Gingrich and Tex-
as Rep. Ron Paul press on with
their campaigns. The next vote is
Tuesday, when Wisconsin, Mary-
landandthe District of Columbia
hold primaries.
I hope toget a goodnumber of
delegates from those three con-
tests and be on my way to secure
the nominationandtaking onthe
president, Romney said Thurs-
day.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio
threw his support behind Rom-
ney on Wednesday night, saying
the idea that the GOP race would
continue until the partys August
convention in Tampa was a reci-
pe to deliver four more years to
Barack Obama.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush,
thesonof theex-president, has al-
so signaled his impatience with
the drawn-out Republican race,
endorsing Romney a day after his
primary win last week in Illinois.
It is time to get behindthe nomi-
nee, the younger Bush told the
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Asked Thursday if he met dur-
inghis Texas stopwithanother of
Bushs sons, former President
George W. Bush, Romney said he
had not. We speak from time to
time, Romney said.
The nations 43rd president
has not endorsed a candidate in
the GOP contest.
Time to rally behind Romney, Bush 1 says
The former president joins
other prominent Republicans
in calling for GOP fight to end.

MILWAUKEE Newt Gin-
grich brought his faltering presi-
dential campaign to Marquette
University on Thursday night,
seeking to inspire around 300
spectators with a talk centered
on values and innovation.
In an address that sounded a
little like a college lecture, Gin-
grichtalkedabout a rangeof sub-
jects, including the fall of Com-
munism, the Founding Fathers,
the Constitution, the first flight
of the Wright brothers, the na-
tional debt and private retire-
ment accounts.
You loan
power to the
state. The
state does not
loan power to
you, Gingrich
said.
He added,
In Barack
Obamas world, we are subjects,
not citizens.
Gingrich was introduced by
his wife, Callista, a Wisconsin
native, who said, Our only op-
ponent is Barack Obama and we
are committed to removing him
from the White House.
In recent days, Gingrich has
cut staff and cut back on cam-
paign appearances. His top su-
per PAC benefactor, casino bil-
lionaire Sheldon Adelson, told
the Jewish Journal on Monday
that Gingrichis at the endof his
line in the race.
Gingrich, the former speaker
of the House, is tryingtoexecute
a bare-bones strategy to remain
in the race to the Republican
convention.
Gingrichs national spokes-
man, R.C. Hammond, saidsocial
media would be key for the cam-
paign as it tries to get voters to
influence the convention dele-
gates.

of $14,000 Thursday from a
woman who was to receive a
finders fee for locating a wallet
containing cash.
June Walsh of North Main

from her bank account so she
could give it to them in return
for the finders fee.
Instead they took the money

POLICE BLOTTER
CHICAGO Nearly two dec-
ades after John Wayne Gacys ex-
ecution, Cook County sheriffs
officials hope to excavate the
backyard of a Northwest Side
apartment building in their con-
tinuing search for additional vic-
tims of the serial killer, a spokes-
man for Sheriff Tom Dart said.
The site actuallywas previous-
ly investigated after a retired
Chicago police homicide detec-
tive tipped authorities to the fact
that he hadseenGacy inthe yard
with a shovel in his hand before
dawn one day in the 1970s. That
dig, in November 1998, turned
up a glass marble and a flattened
saucepan, but no bodies, accord-
ing to Chicago Tribune accounts
of the Chicagopolice excavation.
Dart returnedtothe Gacy case
last year when he exhumed the
skeletons of several unidentified
victims in the hopes DNA could
help identify them. The inquiry
led to the identification of one
victim, WilliamGeorge Bundy, a
Chicago man who disappeared
at age 17. At the time, Dart said
detectives assigned to the Gacy
investigation were considering a
number of other investigative
avenues.
Among them: excavating the
yard of the apartment building
where Gacys mother lived and
Gacy once worked as a mainte-
nance man.
This site was one that was al-
ways lookedat as a possibilityfor
potential victims, said Frank Bi-
lecki, a spokesman at the sher-
iffs office. Andlawenforcement
should run every lead out. This
is just another piece of the Gacy
puzzle that should be run out.
We hope to do that.
Dart had not put a timetable
on the effort, though Bilecki said
he mentioned that spring, when
the ground softens, would be a
good time. The effort has run in-
to obstacles, however. So far,
Cook County States Attorney
Anita Alvarez has denied Darts
request to seek a search warrant
for the property, saying the sher-
iffs officedoes not haveprobable
cause sufficient information
that the search will produce evi-
dence of a crime to obtain a
warrant.
Sally Daly, a spokeswoman for
Alvarez, saidthe informationthe
sheriffs office presented was the
same information as in 1998,
when the search was done with
the consent of the property own-
er and failed to turn up evidence
that Gacy had buried bodies on
the property.
There is even less probable
cause nowas a result of the nega-
tive results of the consented-to
search in 1998, said Daly, add-
ing the prosecutors in the office
wereopentoreviewinganynew
information that the Sheriffs Of-
fice may currently have or obtain
in the future.
Gacy was convicted of the
murders of 33 young men and
boys in the 1970s, all but one of
them strangled, many of them
recovered in his crawl space. He
was executed by lethal injection
at Stateville Correctional Center
in 1994.
What brought sheriffs offi-
cials back to the property was
that, during the 1998 dig, only
two spots were excavated even
thoughradar surveys of theprop-
erty reportedly detected more
than a dozen anomalies under
the ground. That raised the sus-
picions of the retired detective
who initially tipped police to the
Gacy connection, Bill Dorsch.
He provided the Tribune a letter
from the radar company saying
the initial dig was incomplete.
In a proper investigation,
the letter said, the authorities
would have been more willing to
excavate any possibility.
Dorsch, who retired in 1994
from the Chicago police after 24
years, recalled that one morning
at 3 a.m., as he came home from
work, he sawGacy with a shovel
and they chatted briefly. After
Gacys arrest, he called sheriffs
officials with the information
about him, assuming officials
would investigate the tip and po-
tentially excavate. That appar-
ently did not happen until the
1998 excavation.

FORTY FORT -- Forty Fort Cemete-
ry is gradually being revitalized after a
summer that saw nature wreak havoc
on the historic site.
Forty Fort Cemetery Board of Trust-
ees member Andy Tuzinski said pro-
jects are in the works to finish remov-
ing brush, downedlimbs andlarge tree
trunks on cemetery grounds.
The bulk of the damaged trees have
been removed, but some small wood
piles remain that still need to be re-
moved, Tuzinski said Wednesday.
Its an ongoing, everyday cleanup.
Tuzinski hopes people recognize the
long-standing, historical significance
of the burial site of United States con-
gressmen, Civil War and Revolution-
ary War veterans and a Pennsylvania
governor.
We definitely want to increase
awareness about taking care of the
cemetery, but we also want people to
be able to enjoy it and immerse them-
selves in its history, he said.
Last fall, winds from Hurricane
Irene knocked down two large trees,
anda randomlightningstrike earlier in
the summer downed a third.
Much of the brush and downed
limbs blocked the view of several gra-
vesites.
Matters grew worse as the Susque-
hanna River, swollenwithrainandrun-
off from Tropical Storm Lee, threat-
ened to overflow its banks.
Special compaction machinery was
brought in to bolster the nearby levee,
avoiding serious damage from flood-
waters but ripping up the cemetery
grounds in the process.
One crypt was damaged by trucks
carrying materials to the flood wall.
That portion has since been re-
paired; however, the Forty Fort Ceme-
tery Association does not have the
funds or the manpower to clean up the
massive downed trees. The heavy
work was done by a private, volunteer
contractor.
The rest has been carried out by the
cemeterys caretaker, David Marlowe.
The cemetery is managed by a pri-
vate, nonprofit corporation that de-
pends primarily oninvestment income
and has limited funds from which to
draw.
However, projects andspecial events
are being planned to continue the res-
toration of the site.
A project to install two gates at each
entrance is in the works to keep the
wrong people out and let the right peo-
ple in, Tuzinski said.
The gates will be installedtoencour-
age walking and deter vehicle traffic
during evening hours.
A third gate, which separates the
nearby soccer field from the cemetery,
has been replaced by the Luzerne
County Flood Protection Authority.
Tuzinski added that a cleanup event
open to the public will be held at the
cemetery on April 21 in conjunction
with Earth Day.
A lot of people that were integral in
the building of this county are buried
there, he said.
There are always things that can be
done to make it look better.

Bike law starts Monday
A law that sets new rules for state
motorists to follow when encounter-
ing a bicyclist will take effect at 12:01
a.m. Monday.
The law, designed
to improve safety and
traffic flow, was
signed by Gov. Tom
Corbett on Feb. 2.
The new law re-
quires motorists to
leave a 4-foot cush-
ion of safety when
passing a bicyclist.
To achieve this cushion, drivers
may cross a roadways center line
when passing a bicycle on the left,
but only when opposing traffic al-
lows.
Drivers trying to turn left must also
yield the right of way to bicycle riders
traveling in the opposite direction.

WILKES-BARRE A Luzerne Coun-
ty judge on Thursday granted a protec-
tion-from-abuse petition against a one-
time associate of a reputedmobboss, af-
ter his wife said he threatened her and
their children.
Judge Michael Vough put the order in
place, as well as several provisions, for a
period of 18 months after Michele Mat-
tioli-Kulick filed the original petition in
January.
Mattioli-Kulick said in the petition
her husband, Robert Kulick, threatened
her and their teenage son and daughter
shortly after Mattioli-
Kulicks father, Joseph
Mattioli, Pocono
Raceway founder and
chairman, died.
Mattioli-Kulick al-
leged Kulick threat-
ened to destroy her
and burn her posses-
sions and made repeated threatening
calls and text messages.
Kulickwas arrestedinFebruaryfor vi-
olating a temporary PFA order by alleg-
edly contacting Mattioli-Kulick.
Vough said Thursday that Kulick
must have no contact with Mattioli-Kul-
ick or their teen children, and that Mat-
tioli-Kulick has exclusive possession of
their Bear Creek Township home.
The judge said Kulick may contact
Mattioli-Kulick after 30 days from
Thursdays date, via email communica-
tion only, which is limited to issues re-
garding the welfare of the children.
Mattioli-Kulick must return a Cadil-
lac to Kulick, along with personal prop-
erty that was inside, including a com-
puter.
Contact with the children, court pa-
pers say, can be made by phone or text
and must be reasonable and appropri-
ate.
Kulick cannot contact his children
during school hours and can contact
them only if they respond to him and
agree to the contact.
Physical contact with the children,
court papers say, will happen only un-
der a mutual agreement between Kul-
ick and his children.
Mattioli-Kulick was represented by
attorney Mary Vidas. Kulick was repre-
sented by attorney Michael Beltrami.
The estranged couple filed divorce
papers in December. The divorce has
not yet been made final.

Perez said Thursday he understood he
didnt have to testify at his trial on hom-
icide charges.
He said he knew it was his right to
remain silent before he swore to tell the
truth.
I didnt know what I was doing, Pe-
rez, 25, testified in the third day of his
trial on homicide
charges in the January
2011 death of 21-year-
old Vladimir Ruiz. If I
had the intent to kill
him, I wouldve
stabbed him more
than once. I (had) no
intention to assassi-
nate anyone.
Attorneys will present closing argu-
ments this morning before a jury is in-
structed on the law by Judge David Lu-
pas and sent to deliberate Perezs fate.
Perez, with the help of an interpreter,
testified for about an hour Thursday,
telling a jury he had been drinking and
doing drugs for a number of hours at
his Wyoming Street, Hazleton, resi-
dence with friends, including Willis
Gonzalez.
At one point during the night on Jan.
15, 2011, Angel Sanchez, 21, showed up
with a gun that Perez said he put under
his mattress. Around 1:24 a.m. Gonza-
lez got up, went into the bedroom, and
then told Perez they had to go to the
nearby bar.
Perez said he saw Sanchez, who told
him to cover him in the fight he was
going to have with Ruiz in case some-
one decided to jump him.
A black man punched Gonzalez, Pe-
rez said, and the two went across the
street when he then heard gunshots. In-
vestigators say that in that altercation
Gonzalez shot and killed Juda Hope,

An explosion at a compres-
sor station in Susquehanna
County on Thursday morn-
ing had officials in Dallas
Township concerned.
The state Department of
Environmental Protection
was alerted around 11:30 a.m.
to an explosion at the Lath-
rop compressor station in
Springville
Township, Sus-
quehanna Coun-
ty. The depart-
ment said there
was a small nat-
ural gas leak
from the station but that air-
quality testing showed no
problems in the surrounding
area. Helen Humphreys, a
spokeswoman for compres-
sor station owner Williams
Partners LP, said there was a
fire.
A recently completed 33-
mile pipeline runs from the
station to the Transco inter-
state pipeline in Dallas Town-
ship.
Township officials said
they were informed Thurs-
day that the flow of gas to the
Transco had been shut down
at the compressor station
and that township EMA Co-
ordinator Alan Pugh was
monitoring the situation.
Weve got our EMA check-
ing into everything on their
end of things, township Su-
pervisor Liz Martin said.
They have a direct line in
with other EMAs in the area.
Weve got everyone alerted to
make sure that everything up
of the two pipelines.
Right now, we have no
concern at this point for the
safety of our students, Gal-
icki said at approximately 4
p.m. Thursday.
The incident also had some
breathing a sigh of relief that
there will not affect us here.
District Superintendent
Frank Galicki said school was
not let out early Thursday be-
cause Pugh informed him
that the gas flow had been
shut down and there was no
danger to the district cam-
pus, which is located about
1,800 feet from the junction

WASHINGTON The U.S.
House on Thursday approved a
$3.5 trillion Republican budget
that revamps Medicare, cuts
spending and rejects tax hikes
on the rich.
The House passed the mea-
sure on a near party-line 228-191
vote. The Democratic-run Sen-
ate is expected to block the plan.
According to an Associated
Press story, the GOP plan fea-
tures sharper deficit reduction
and starkly less government
spending than Democrats want.
It would block President Oba-
mas proposal to boost taxes on
the wealthy and would instead
lower income tax rates while
erasing many unspecified tax
breaks.
Obamas budget would raise
taxes on families making above
$250,000 and on oil and gas
companies, add funds for roads
and schools and cull modest sav-
ings from domestic programs.
Two local congressmen U.S.
Rep. Lou Barletta, R-Hazleton,
and U.S. Rep. Tom Marino, R-
Lycoming Township, voted for
the budget. U.S. Rep. Tim Hold-
en, D-St. Clair, voted against it.
Barletta said the GOP mea-
sure would balance the budget
in as little as a decade, and re-
peals the presidents health care
law, reforms the tax code, pre-
vents devastating cuts to nation-
al defense, preserves Medicare
for future generations and cuts
trillions in federal spending over
the next 10 years.
We cant keep spending mon-
ey we dont have, and we cannot
tax our way to prosperity, Bar-
letta said. Right now, our na-
tional debt is nearing $15.5 tril-
lion, yet President Obama intro-
duces budget after budget that
increase our debt by trillions
more, and Senate Democrats
have refused to introduce a bud-
get in almost 1,100 days.
Marino said
the budget he
supported
shows how se-
rious House
Republicans
are about cut-
ting the deficit.
It also dem-
onstrates our efforts to save
Medicare from bankruptcy and
preserve it for future genera-
tions, Marino said. The presi-
dents budget failed to win a sin-
gle vote in the House. Washing-
ton is broken.
Democrats accused the GOP
of writing a plan that would end
the age-old guarantee that Medi-
care would cover most of se-
niors medical bills and would
slash transportation, research
and other programs far too
deeply, even as the measure
would protect the rich from
Obamas proposed tax hikes.
Today I voted against the Re-
publican budget that would end
the Medicare guarantee and un-
dermine the retirement security
of millions of American seniors,
Holden said. It recklessly cuts
transportation funding by over
$30 billion, jeopardizing our
economy, jobs, and transporta-
tion system.
The GOP package would slice
everything from food stamps to
transportation. It envisions col-
lapsing the current six income
tax rates into just two, with a
top rate of 25 percent compared
with todays 35 percent. It would
also eliminate unspecified tax
breaks.
House passes Republican budget
The proposal contains heavy
deficit reduction cuts. It faces
Senate opposition.

HARRISBURGAgroup in-
cluding seven municipalities
Thursday sued the state of
Pennsylvania over its new law
regulating the rapid growth of
natural gas exploration, saying
among other things that it un-
constitutionally takes away the
power to control property from
towns and landowners for the
benefit of the oil and gas indus-
try.
The approximately 120-page
lawsuit was filed in state Com-
monwealth Court. Plaintiffs in-
clude townships in southwest-
ern Pennsylvania Robinson,
Peters, Cecil and Mount Pleas-
ant in Washington County, and
South Fayette in Allegheny
County where exploration of
the Marcellus
Shale is under
way, and Nocka-
mixon Township
and Yardley Bor-
ough in southeast-
ernPennsylvanias
Bucks County where officials
are worried about their inability
to control future exploration of
different natural gas formations.
Among the objectionable pro-
visions cited by the lawsuit are
requirements that drilling,
waste pits and pipelines be al-
lowed in every zoning district,
including residential districts,
as long as certain buffers are ob-
served.
A spokesman for Corbett, Er-
ic Shirk, said Thursday the gov-
ernors office hadnt yet seen the
lawsuit.

PHILADELPHIA
Rectory abuse alleged
A
witness in a landmark priest-abuse
trial in Philadelphia described
feeling helpless and trapped as a
13-year-old, because her priest was
fondling her when she worked week-
ends at the rectory.
The woman says she didnt tell any-
one for years, and later learned the
same priest had fondled her younger
sisters.
The woman testified Wednesday, the
fourth day of the child-endangerment
trial of Monsignor William Lynn, the
longtime secretary for clergy in Phila-
delphia. Lynn is the first Roman Ca-
tholic church official in the U.S.
charged with child endangerment for
allegedly leaving predators in jobs
around children.
Defense lawyers say Lynn took or-
ders from two archbishops.

Plan to frack with propane
An upstate New York landowners
group may have found a way to get
around the states de facto moratorium
on shale gas drilling by using propane
instead of water for hydraulic fractur-
ing.
Department of Environmental Con-
servation spokeswoman Emily DeSan-
tis said Thursday the agency has met
with the Tioga County landowners
group to discuss shale gas development
using the new hydraulic fracturing
technology. GasFrac Energy Services in
Calgary, Canada, uses liquid propane
rather than millions of gallons of chem-
ically treated water to stimulate a
wells production.
BRADENTON, FLA.
Police: Drugs in dentures
Bradenton, Fla., police said they
arrested a woman who is accused of
hiding drugs inside her dentures.
At about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Theresa
DeMarco, 56, was driving in Bradenton
when a deputy stopped her for a loud
muffler.
When the deputy spoke with DeMar-
co and the passenger in her car, Mary
E. Winchell, they appeared extremely
nervous, police said.
The deputy gave her a written warn-
ing for the muffler, searched the car
and found a hydromorphone pill where
Winchell was seated. She was arrested.
Winchell then told the deputy De-
Marco kept walking away from the car
to destroy some crack cocaine and she
was hiding more pills in her dentures.
When the deputy confronted DeMar-
co, she removed the pills from her
dentures and swallowed them.
LONDON
Threats worry drivers
Theres no fuel shortage, no strike
planned, no reason to panic. But wor-
ried motorists across Britain ignored
all that Thursday as they joined long
lines at gas stations, intent on stocking
up just in case any of those realities
should change.
Fuel-tanker drivers here have threat-
ened to take industrial action if their
demands for better working conditions
and wages arent met. But no strike has
actually been called.
That didnt stop the government
from jumping in and adding fuel to the
fire instead of calming the situation,
critics say. Government ministers have
been advising consumers to top off
their tanks or fill extra containers,
prompting a run at the pumps that is
now proving to be a political embar-
rassment.

MIAMI Newly released police vid-
eo of a handcuffed George Zimmerman
may be important for what it doesnt
show: No obvious cuts, scrapes, blood
or bandages. Noclearlybrokennose. No
plainly visible evidence of a life-and-
death struggle with Trayvon Martin.
As thefuror over raceandself-defense
raged on in Florida and around the U.S.
on Thursday, Martins family and sup-
porters seized on the footage to dispute
Zimmermans claim that he shot and
killed the unarmed black teenager after
the young man attacked him.
While cautioning that the video is
grainy and far fromconclusive, some le-
gal experts agreed it does raise ques-
tions about Zimmermans story. The
video was made about a half-hour after
the shooting Feb. 26.
It could be very significant, said Da-
niel Lurvey, a former Miami-Dade
County homicide prosecutor. If I were
the prosecutor, it would certainly be Ex-
hibit A that he did not suffer any major
injury as a result of a confrontation with
Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman attorney Craig Sonner
said on NBCs Today show that the
footage appears to support his clients
story in some respects.
Its a verygrainyvideo. ... However, if
you watch, youll see one of the officers,
as hes walking in, looking at something
on the back of his head, Sonner said.
Clearly the report shows he was
cleaned up before he was taken in the
squad car.
Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch
volunteer in the town of Sanford, told
police he shot the 17-year-old Martin af-
ter the young man punched him in the
nose, knocked him down and repeated-
ly slammed his head against a sidewalk.
The Sanford Police Department vid-
eobegins at 7:52p.m., about 35minutes
after the shooting, as Zimmerman ar-
rives at the station. It shows Zimmer-
mans head and face as he gets out of a
police car. There is no obvious wound
onhis heador bloodonhis clothing, and
there are noindications of a brokennose
which Zimmermans lawyer has in-
sisted he suffered.

BAGHDAD Sunni Muslim

how powerfully the sectarian split
and the rivalry with Iran define
Middle Eastern politics in the era

ter of those divisions. The one-day

LOS ANGELES Federal
health authorities have signif-
icantly raised their estimate
of the prevalence of autism in
children, concluding in a new
study of 8-year-olds that 1 in
88 has some form of the dis-
order.
The analysis, based on a re-
view of tens of thousands of
health and school records in
14 states, was released Thurs-
day by the U.S. Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion. It is the latest in a series
of studies showing autism
rates climbing dramatically
over the last decade. The pre-
vious estimate was 1 in 110.
While the new numbers are
sure to fuel debate over
whether a growing environ-
mental threat is at work, re-
searchers said the data sug-
gest that rising awareness of
the disorder, better detection
and improved access to ser-
vices can explain much of the
increase, and perhaps all of it.
Dr. Daniel Geschwind, an
autism expert at the Universi-
ty of California, Los Angeles,
said he was initially surprised
by the size of the increase
25 percent in just two years.
But when I looked at what
seems to be driving it, it
made total sense, he said.
He and other experts said
vast differences in the rates
among states included in the
study are almost certainly a
reflection of social and cultur-
al factors that influence who
gets a diagnosis.
Nobody knows what caus-
es autism, and there is no
blood test, brain scan or oth-
er biological marker. It is di-
agnosed by its symptoms
social and communication
difficulties starting in early
childhood as well as repeti-
tive behaviors or abnormally
intense interests.

Perez fled the area and even-
tually went to New York City to
his mothers home in the Bronx,
where he ultimately turned
himself in to police about nine
days later.
Prosecutors called the last of
their witnesses Thursday morn-
ing -- a Hazleton city detective,
Kenneth Zipovsky. He testified
Gonzalez has yet not been locat-
ed to face charges in Hopes
death. He said investigators
know Gonzalez boarded a plane
to the Dominican Republic
sometime after the homicide.
Sanchez, 21, pleaded guilty
earlier this week to a third-de-
gree murder charge relating to
Ruizs death and will be sen-
tenced in May.
Prosecutors also called a re-
buttal witness Thursday, Hazle-
ton police Detective Christoph-
er Orozco, who also works for
the FBI on its gang task force.
Orozco said he is familiar
with Perez, Sanchez and Gon-
zalez, and knows them to be
members of the Trinitarios
gang. He said that to his knowl-
edge he also believed Ruiz was a
member of the Bloods gang.

.Harry Haas has asked his fel-
low Luzerne County Council
members to re-examine a pro-
posed skate park on a vacant
Wilkes-Barre lot on Water Street
near the county courthouse.
UGI Penn Natural Gas Inc.
has cleaned up contamination
on the 3.3-acre parcel and is
looking for a reuse that doesnt
involve structures because the
property is affected by Susque-
hanna River flooding.
Theres a need for such a park
because a group of skateboar-
ders and bikers routinely congre-
gates at the River Common lev-
ee portal by the courthouse, said
county Flood Protection Author-
ity Executive Director Jim Bro-
zena.
Police are regularly called, but
enforcement is difficult because
they quickly disperse, Brozena
said. Grinding by skateboards
damages the sandstone finish at
the portal area, he said.
Theyre just beating it up,
he said.
Funding will be the
main hurdle, Brozena
said.
County officials
backed away from a
skate park at that site
in the past, in part be-
cause of difficulties fi-
nancing existing coun-
ty recreation facilities,
including Moon Lake
Park, he said. The
county found an out-
side operator to cover
maintenance costs at
the Forty Fort recre-
ation complex.
It didnt make sense
for us to take on anoth-
er park. I think its a
viable option, but somebody
needs to figure out how to make
it work, Brozena said.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton said everyone agrees a
skate park is a great idea, but
the city cant afford to take the
lead.
The bottom line is nobody
wants to take responsibility for
liability and maintenance,
Leighton said.
The city has 19
playgrounds, Coal
Street and Kirby
Park in addition to
athletic fields, he
said.
We cant keep up
with what we have
right now. We have
too much on our
plate as far as recre-
ation goes, he said.
Haas said he
raised the issue be-
cause it has been
discussed at meet-
ings of the Dia-
mond City Partner-
ship and Downtown
Residents Associ-
ation. Liability insurance may be
affordable if its attached to the
countys existing policy, he said.
I think this could be a very
positive project if we can find
some grants, he said. I want to
open the dialogue on the sub-
ject.
UGI had allowed courthouse
visitors to park in the largely un-
paved lot before it was secured
to remediate contamination left
when the site operated as a nat-
ural gas plant from1887 to 1969.
UGI spokesman Don Bromin-
ski said about $1 million was
spent on the remediation. The
companys environmental engi-
neer, Anthony Rymar, won the
2012 governors award for envi-
ronmental excellence, primarily
for the quality of the Water
Street project, he said. Monitor-
ing wells indicate no further
leaching, he said.
The idea of a skate park sur-
faced because concrete ramps
and other amenities dont re-
quire foundations, he said. UGI
has discussed the possibility
with both city and county offi-
cials, he said.
We want to find a beneficial
use for the site. It could be any
type of park, as long as every-
thing stays on the surface, Bro-
minski said.
Skateboard park will roll into W-B, if plan works out
Luzerne County
officials may seek
grants for a skate
park on this 3.3-
acre parcel along
the Susquehanna
River near the
courthouse. UGI
Penn Natural Gas
Inc. has removed
contamination,
and the site cant
hold structures
because it floods.
Officials backed
away from a skate
park at that site
in the past.

We want to

ficial use for
the site. It

UGI spokesman
plans to build a similar com-
pressor station in the township
did not go forward last year.
I am so thankful right now
that we were able to keep the
compressor station from the ar-
ea very near our school district
and 3,000 kids, Martin said. I
still have a chill right to my
bones about it. We remain con-
cerned about the people right
to the north of us, but we were
knowledgeable enough to
know what we were able to
ward off here.
This comes from Williams,
said Scott Cannon of the Gas
Drilling Awareness Coalition,
and Williams, whenever they
have the hearings, they say that
the percentage of something
bad happening is almost noth-
ing, and theyre selling this as
very safe technology, but the
more they build these pipelines
and compressor facilities, the
more the accidents rise and
the closer that we start build-
ing these to peoples homes,
the more problems that occur.
They should be in an industrial
area, rather than a residential
or agricultural area.
The compressor station pres-
surizes natural gas taken from
the Marcellus Shale formation
for movement along the pipe-
line system. Williams said it
would begin investigation into
the cause of the incident once
it was safe to return to the
scene.
Right now our top priority
is to ensure that everybody is
safe, making sure they stay
safe, and working with the first
responders, Humphreys said.
DEP spokeswoman Colleen
Connolly said there were no re-
ports of injuries. She said a fire
department from South Abing-
ton Township, Lackawanna
County, was called in to spray a
foaming agent onto the site.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. sold
the Lathrop station, another
compressor station and 75
miles of gathering pipelines to
Williams for $150 million in
2010.
The Williams Companies
Inc. owns a 72 percent stake in
Tulsa, Okla.-based Williams
Partners LP.

HARRISBURG The judge
overseeing former Penn State
assistant football coach Jerry
Sanduskys child sexual abuse
case on Thursday delayed the
start of the trial by three weeks
to early June, and prosecutors
filed a lengthy court document
that said the case should not be
dismissed.
Judge John Cleland said the
additional time was needed to
accommodate various logistical
contingencies that have arisen,
and the attorney generals office
supported the postponement.
The prosecutions 21-page an-
swer to a catch-all pretrial mo-
tion that Sanduskys lawyer sub-
mitted a week ago said the com-
monwealth had broad latitude
to establish the dates of allega-
tions in child sexual abuse
cases. Sandusky has asked for
more specifics about when the
alleged crimes occurred.
Defendant cannot exploit the
appalling breadth of his own
criminal conduct by claiming it
encompasses so long a period as
to hamper his defense, wrote
chief deputy at-
torney general
Frank Fina.
The 68-year-
old retired de-
fensive coordi-
nator faces 52
counts involv-
ing 10 alleged
victims over 15
years. He re-
mains confined
to his home to
await trial.
Prosecutors
have accused him of engaging in
a range of illegal behavior with
the boys, including sexual as-
saults, allegations he denies.
Fina disputed Sanduskys ar-
gument that witness Mike
McQueary will not be able to
prove the charges involving a
young boy allegedly seen by
McQueary being sexually
abused by Sandusky in the Penn
State showers in 2002.
The defense appears to ar-
gue that an eyewitness who sees
an adult man having sex with a
child cannot provide sufficient
evidence of the conduct of
crimes, Fina wrote. It is note-
worthy that the defense pro-
vides no legal support for such a
specious assertion.
Cleland said a hearing re-
mains scheduled for April 5 in
Bellefonte to argue over the pre-
trial issues.
Fina wrote that the prosecu-
tion agreed with Sanduskys re-
quest to have prospective jurors
questioned individually, and to
sequester them at trial.
In Sanduskys omnibus pre-
trial motion last week, defense
lawyer Joe Amendola argued
some allegations were not suffi-
ciently specific, others lacked
evidence and the statute of limi-
tations may have run in some
cases.
Messages seeking comment
on the prosecutions filing were
left for Amendola on Thursday
evening.
Fina noted that Sandusky
waived a preliminary hearing
that would have allowed him to
test some of the evidence
against him.
He cannot now be heard to
complain the information is in-
sufficient, having conceded the
ability of the commonwealth to
prove each count if submitted to
a fact-finder, Fina wrote.

at therequest of Castnersattorney,
Timothy Polishan.
Polishan did not return several
messages seeking comment.
RalphKates, anattorney for The
Times Leader, said Wednesday he
didnot receiveanexplanationas to
whythecasewasbeingterminated.

Property Services, filed the suit
against 21st Century Appraisals,
Sarah Garner and Timothy Barr,

21st Century Appraisals Inc. was
hired to perform the county-wide
reassessment that took effect in
2009, and previously was dismis-
sedas a defendant.
Castner had been charged with
disorderlyconduct stemmingfrom
an Aug. 25, 2008 incident at the

ship, during which the citation
states Castner used obscene lan-
guage, creating an offensive condi-

The charge was dismissed in
May 2009.

DALLAS Knowing how much his older
brother liked the land next to his house on
PineviewRoad, AndrewDuda would like to
spare it from future development.
Duda, executor of the estate of his late
brother, Paul, envisioned creating a wildlife
sanctuary on the site measuring approxi-
mately 3 acres.
The Grasonville, Md., resident said
Wednesday hes looking for help to create a
corporation and form a nonprofit organiza-
tion to maintain land.
Hes holding a meeting Saturday at the
Back Mountain Memorial Library.
Its wooded. It has a pond on it and has
open space, said Duda, who grew up in a
house next door.
His older brother had purchased a num-
ber of lots in tax sales and enjoyed keeping
the property undeveloped, Duda explained.
Its a real quiet spot, he said.
Not much would be done to the land, ex-
cept tobuildtrails andput insome benches,
Duda added.
He estimatedthe costs wouldbe minimal
and the largest outlay would be approxi-
mately $3,000 to set up a corporation and
the nonprofit organization. He said hed
welcome a benefactor who could name the
place.
Absent that donor, Duda said he has a
name in my mind: Woodland Springs Sanc-
tuary.
A timeless beauty is envisioned in Dallas
The public is invited to attend a meeting on
establishing a corporation and nonprofit
organization for a wildlife sanctuary to be
located in Dallas.

SANCTUARY STARTUP
By JERRY LYNOTT
[email protected]
SWOYERSVILLE Aman ac-
cused of setting a fire in retalia-
tion after his girlfriend left him
waivedhis right toapreliminary
hearing on Thursday.
Peter Perez-Garcia, 54,
waived three counts of arson
and one count each of reckless
burning and criminal mischief
to Luzerne County Court.
Luzerne police and state po-
lice at Wyoming withdrew 10
other counts of arsonagainst Pe-
rez-Garcia.
Authorities allege Perez-Gar-
cia used a lighter to set fire to a
T-shirt and threw the lit gar-
ment on laundry in a closet in-
side his live-in girlfriends apart-
ment at 56 Main St., Luzerne,
on Jan. 2.
The blaze forced the evacua-
tion of 10 tenants in the 15-unit
apartment building, authorities
said.
Investigators and several wit-
nesses were at the hearingready
to testify until Perez-Garcia,
though his attorney, John Sobo-
ta, opted to waive the charges.
He remains jailed at the county
prison for lack of $50,000 bail.
According to the criminal
complaint:
State police Deputy Fire Mar-
shal Trooper Tim Young deter-
mined the blaze was intention-
ally set inside an apartment
rented by Jamie Stankunas.
Perez-Garcia told investiga-
tors he moved into the apart-
ment with Stankunas shortly af-
ter theybeganarelationship. He
said they were drinking heavily
until Dec. 31, when Stankunas
left the apartment and did not
return.
Perez-Garcia said he stayed in
the apartment, continued to
drink heavily and became
heartbroken and upset when
Stankunas didnot return. Perez-
Garcia said he ignited a T-shirt
and dropped it on a pile of laun-
dry in the closet, the complaint
says.
Authorities claim Perez-Gar-
cia traveled on a bus to San Fer-
nando, Calif., after the blaze.
A formal arraignment is
scheduled in county court on
June 1.

ity, will be followedby the assign-
ment of one justice to write a ma-
jority opinion, or in a case this
complex, two or more. Occasion-
ally, votes have changed later,
swayed by draft opinions.
Here is a look at six potential
outcomes, from the simpler to
the more complicated possible
rulings:
Q. What if the Supreme Court

upholds the law and finds Con-
gress was within its authority to
require most people to have
health insurance or pay a penal-
ty?
A. Adecisioninfavor of the law
would end the legal fight and al-
low the administration to push
forward with implementing its
provisions over the next few
years, including the insurance re-
quirement, an expansion of Med-
icaid and a ban on private insure-
rs denying coverage to people
with pre-existing problems.
The political wrangling, how-
ever, probably would continue as
Republican candidates for presi-
dent and lesser offices are calling
for repeal of the law.
Q. What if, on the other hand,

the court strikes down the entire
law?
A. That would kill a costly new
federal entitlement before it has a
chance to take root and develop a
constituency of beneficiaries and
supporters, namely more than 30
million people who are supposed
to wind up with health insurance
because of the law.
In addition, some parts of the
law already are in effect and
would be rolled back. One pop-
ular provision allowing young
adults to stay on their parents in-
surance until age 26 has added
nearly 2.5 million people to the
coverage rolls, at no cost to tax-
payers.
But whether its dealing with
the federal deficit, retirement se-
curity for seniors or eventhe Pen-
tagon budget, elected officials
would still have to confront
health care at nearly every turn.
Congress would get to roll the
ball up the hill again.
Q. What happens if the court

strikes downthe individual insur-
ance requirement, but leaves the
rest of the act in place?
A. Knocking out the require-
ment that Americans carry insur-
ance wouldnot be the endof Oba-
mas health care overhaul.
Theres a lot more in the 900-plus
pages of the law.
But it would make the compli-
cated legislation a lot harder to
carry out, risking more complica-
tions for a U.S. healthcare system
already seen as wasteful, unaffor-
dable and unable to deliver con-
sistently high quality.
Ten million to 15 million unin-
sured people who would have
gotten coverage under the law
could be left out.
The cost of individually pur-
chased private health insurance
would jump. That would make it
more expensive for the govern-
ment to subsidize premiums, al-
though millions of middle-class
people would still be entitled to
such assistance under the laws
remaining provisions.
If the individual mandate is
struck, the laws Medicaid expan-
sion would still cover millions
more low-income people, mainly
childless adults.
And a host of other mandates
would stay in place. Starting in
2014, medium-sized and large
employers would be hit with
fines for not providing coverage.
Insurance companies would be
required to accept people with
pre-existing medical problems,
no longer allowed to cherry-pick
the healthy to keep costs down.
They would also be barred from
imposing higher premiums on
people in poor health, and limit-
ed in what they could charge ol-
der adults.
If that happens, premiums in
the individual health insurance
market would jump anywhere
from10 percent to 30 percent, ac-
cording to various forecasts from
economists.
Experts debate whether such a
cost spike would trigger the col-
lapse of the insurance market for
individuals and small businesses
or just make coverage even
more expensive thanit already is.
Without a mandate the law is
a lot less effective, said MIT
economist JonathanGruber, who
advised the Obama administra-
tion and, earlier on, then-Massa-
chusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who
put suchaninsurance mandate in
that states health care law. The
market will not collapse, but it
will be a ton more expensive and
cover many fewer people.
Q. What if the court strikes

down the mandate and invali-
dates the parts of the law that re-
quire insurance companies to
cover people regardless of medi-
cal problems and that limit what
they can charge older people?
A. Many fewer people would
get covered, but the health insur-
ance industry would avoid a dire
financial hit.
Insurers would be able to con-
tinue screening out people with a
history of medical problems,
such as diabetes patients or can-
cer survivors.
That would prevent a sudden
jump in premiums. But it would
leave consumers with no assur-
ance that they can get health in-
surance when they need it. Other
economically developed coun-
tries guarantee health insurance
for their citizens.
A related requirement limits
premiums charged to older
adults. Currently people in their
late 50s and early 60s can face
premiums as much as six or sev-
en times higher than those
charged to 20-year-olds. The law
says insurers may charge older
adults no more than three times
what they charge younger ones.
Administrationlawyers say the
insurancerequirement goes hand
in hand with the coverage guar-
antee and cap on premiums, and
have asked the court to get rid of
both if it finds the mandate to be
unconstitutional.

throws out only the expansion of
the Medicaid program?
A. Throwingout the expansion
would severely limit the laws im-
pact because roughly half the
more than 30 million people ex-
pected to gain health insurance
under the law would get it
through the expansion of Medi-
caid, the federal-state health in-
surance program for low-income
people.
The law would effectively
bring under Medicaid everyone
making up to 138 percent of the
federal poverty level. That works
out to about $15,400 for an indi-
vidual, $30,650 for a family of
four. Most of those who would be
added to the Medicaid rolls are
low-income adults without chil-
dren.
But a potentially sizable num-
ber of those low-income people
might still be eligible for govern-
ment-subsidized though prob-
ably more expensive private
insurance under other provisions
of the law. Private coverage will
probably be more expensive for
taxpayers to subsidize than Med-
icaid.
States suing to overturn the
federal law argue that the Medi-
caid expansion comes with so
manystrings attachedit amounts
to an unconstitutional power
grab by Washington, reaching di-
rectlyintothewallets of statetax-
payers.
The administration counters
that the federal government is
paying all of the initial cost of the
expansion, and 90 percent in per-
petuity, well above what Wash-
ington contributes for regular
Medicaid. Moreover, when Con-
gress created Medicaid in 1965 it
also served notice on the states
that program rules could change
in the future. This is only the lat-
est of many such changes.

decides that the constitutional
challenge is premature?
A. The wildcard, andleast con-
clusive outcome in the case,
probably also is the least likely,
based on what justices said dur-
ing the arguments. No justice
seemedinclinedtotake this path,
whichinvolves thecourts consid-
eration of a technical issue. The
federal appeals court in Rich-
mond, Va., held that the chal-
lenge to the insurance require-
ment has to wait until people
start paying the penalty for not
purchasing insurance.

not buy on impulse and educate them-
selves on proper rabbit care. Rabbits:
are not low maintenance;
can live 8 to 10-plus years;
are not good pets for children;
are adult responsibilities, dependent on
their caregivers 100percent;
must be spayed or neutered;
require wellness visits to rabbit-knowl-
edgeable veterinarians;
can be litter-box trained;
need timothy/grass hays at all times; .
require dark green leafy vegetables every
day;
need 3-plus hours of exercise every day;
need toys and chews to combat boredom
and help keep their teeth at the proper
length;
require a large crate or x-pen as a safe
haven;
enjoy interacting with their caregivers;
are social, curious and intelligent;
have distinct personalities.
Because of their prey statues rabbits: Do
not like to be held; need to be housed
indoors as a member of the family; need
daily monitoring of their usual routines
because they hide illness and injuries well.
Educate yourself before bringing a rabbit
into your home and always adopt from
your local animal shelter or rabbit rescue
groups. They can answer any questions.
Another great place to learn about rabbit
care is the House Rabbit Societys web site

Nothing in life is free,
including birth control
I
am not a practicing member of any
religion and have not been for many
years. I am not a member of the Repub-
lican or Democrat parties or any of their
affiliates (Libertarian, Progressive, Green
party and so on).
The current controversy occurred when
the administration required the Catholic
Church to provide birth control pills, steril-
ization, and other birth control drugs as
part of its health insurance plans against
the principles of the Churchs centuries-old
beliefs and teachings. The administration
quickly recognized this was a problem. Its
solution was to require the insurance com-
panies provide free birth control.
This did not change the requirement
that the insurance provided by the Cathol-
ic Church would still have to provide birth
control against the Churchs long-held
teachings and beliefs.
The First Amendment to the Constitu-
tion provides for freedom of religious prac-
tices. Not the 10th Amendment, nor the
15th Amendment, the First Amendment.
This should indicate to you the impor-
tance our founders placed on this right.
Any responsible person knows that there
is nothing free. There is not a free mon-
ey tree. Somehow the cost of these ser-
vices will be levied through premium in-
creases.
These costs will be born by the people
who get up every day go to work, pay taxes
and health care premiums either in con-
junction with their employer or by them-
selves.
Retirees who rely on Medicare and sup-
plemental insurance are in the same boat
as the middle class working people. There
is no free ride no matter who tells you
there is. The Catholic Church knows that
it will be paying at least indirectly.
Here are a few facts. No political party is
attempting to ban birth control. The con-
troversy is whether the Catholic Church is
required to provide insurance that includes
these services because of Obamacare.
If you dont like what the Catholic
Church is providing, go someplace else.
You have that right.
There are millions of people with seri-
ous health problems such as cancer, heart
disease, high blood pressure, high choles-
terol, diabetes, and so on. They are re-
quired to either pay for their medication or
a co-pay.
Isnt it inherently wrong for Obamacare
to provide free birth control pills for recre-
ational sex and leave the seriously ill peo-
ple out in the cold? Doesnt this say it all
about Obamacare?

Voter photo ID law
called unconstitutional
I
f you told me I wouldnt have believed it.
Pennsylvania has decided to require
photo ID to vote. Even though at least
three states that recently passed such laws
have been stopped, either by a stay from a
judge or found to be unconstitutional.
I know the claim is always to stop voter
fraud. Apparently voter fraud is rampant,
even though the government doesnt seem
to have been able to document many
cases.
The truth is they want to stop some
folks from voting. Of course the govern-
ment cant come out and say that. That
would be unseemly, not to mention illegal.
But inner city folks and the elderly often
dont have drivers licenses, own cars or
have photo IDs. So what, let them get the
photo IDs?
Well, thats a big inconvenience for many
and an cost some cant afford. And besides,
there are laws against poll taxes -- that is,
requiring people to spend money to vote.
Thats why the government claims its
because ofvoter fraud. Theres fraud al-
right. It seems to be centered in Harris-
burg.

Breast-feeding creates
strong family bonds
I
ncreasingly research identifies benefits
to mother and baby regarding breast-
feeding initiation followed by exclusive
breast-feeding in an infants early months
of life. Older siblings can be told that their
new brother or sister will be breast-fed
along with other information shared in
preparation for the new babys arrival.
Formula-fed siblings can be told how
each of them was fed and how special
those memories are for the family. In age-
appropriate language discuss with the
older child/children how the family is
learning a new infant-feeding skill, breast-
feeding. Since children are comfortable
learning to do new things they will under-
stand learning a new skill is a positive,
natural expression of growth. Breast-feed-
ing will not only offer an opportunity for
bonding with the newborn, it will provide
mom with a free hand during feedings to
share her attention and care with an older
child.
For more information on how breast-
feeding can work for you and your baby

Coalition 570-808-5534. The Coalition is
comprised of representatives from North-
eastern Pennsylvania whose mission is to
establish breast-feeding as the cultural
norm in our community by advocating the
promotion, protection, and support of
breastfeeding. Local hospitals, Lactation

Services, Pennsylvania Department of
Health, Early Head Start, Nurse Family
Partnership, and La Leche League, sit on

Coalition sent a team
to Pittsburgh this
week to seek public support for
Americas international affairs,
or foreign aid, budget.
The organizations advisory
council is headed by retired
general and former Secretary
of State Colin Powell and in-
cludes all other previous secre-
taries of state including Made-
leine Albright.
Former West Point superin-
tendent Lt. Gen. Daniel W.
Christman spoke Tuesday on
behalf of the coalition to an au-
dience of about 250.
He noted that only a small
portion of the federal budget -
1.6 percent - is devoted to inter-
national affairs. Yet that rela-
tively small amount is spent on
promotion of exports and oth-
er commercial activities, devel-
opment assistance, diplomacy
and other efforts to advance
U.S. interests overseas, making
it possible for fewer U.S. sol-
diers to be sent overseas to
fight in defense of those inter-
ests. Fewer American lives are
lost, and it is less expensive in
the long run as well.
USGLC asks Americans to
compare the costs of the Iraq
and Afghanistan wars with the
$56 billion that has been re-
quested for the international
affairs budget this year. The
value of an American life can-
not be calculated in such an
equation. Forty-sixhavediedin
Afghanistan so far this year.
Foreign aid will be under se-
vere political attack in 2012, in
Congress and during the cam-
paign season. The argument
that America should be spend-
ing its money at home instead
is easy to make.
But these needs should not
be used as a case for short-
changing Americas presence
and role overseas, particularly
since it costs a tiny sliver of the
overall budget.

especially Wilkes-
Barre City Mayor and
council members the
Hotel Sterling is not and never
was a Luzerne County govern-
ment problem.
The troubled and at this
point, almost certainly
doomed landmark is not
owned by the county. Strictly
speaking, the county
had no dog in the
fight to preserve the
Sterling until prior
commissioners opt-
ed to loan $6 million
to CityVest, the non-
profit developer of
last resort that took
control of the venerable hotel
in hopes of saving it.
That money apparently
went toward site development
acquiring additional proper-
ty and razing newer parts of
the Sterling while the oldest
section of the hotel rotted from
exposure to the elements,
courtesy of a leaky roof.
The wisdom of allowing the
most historic part of the prop-
erty to decay while focusing on
newer and more generic as-
pects of the hotel is question-
able, but its not the point here.
Wilkes-Barre has decided
the Sterling is a hazard and
must be razed. Evidence pre-
sented so far suggests that is,
sadly, the right path, but the
wisdomof that decision is also
not the point here.
The threat exists that CityV-
est will declare bankruptcy if
the county does not assume
control of the project and fork
over $1 million for demolition.
Again, CityVests financial
health is not the point.
The question before the
newly seated county council
and newly ap-
pointed County
Manager Robert
Lawton is wheth-
er or not to fulfill
the $1 million of-
fer made by Coun-
ty Commissioners
last year, one of
the last acts of an old form of
government replaced when
voters approved switching to
the county council system.
The Sterling should have
been saved. It wasnt. The
countys $6millionloanshould
have resolved this issue. It
didnt.
Pouring another million
possibly more into the Hotel
Sterling property may be the
right thing for Luzerne County
to do. But with acute budget
shortfalls sill unresolved,
County Council needs totake a
cold, hard look at any further
investment in this project.
This is first and foremost a
city issue, and County Council
needs to keep that in mind.

You never know, she said.

multistate Powerball drawing,
whose jackpot odds are 1 in

But players Thursday said
the astronomical jackpot is al-
luring enough to make taking a
chance worthwhile, even in the
face of the staggering odds.
Janet Golias of Wilkes-Barre,

You see big money and you
at least want to give it a shot,
she said. Its all about the

For the record, Mega Mil-
lions does have the lousiest
odds of any lottery game in
Pennsylvania; at 1 in 175.7 mil-
from a pool of office workers
that purchased 121 tickets at
once.
Patel predicted the jackpot
would soar even higher as to-
nights drawing approaches.
Its 540 (million) now, by to-
morrow its gonna be six and

MEGA
C M Y K
N E W S
PROVIDENCE, R.I. People
queuing up for Mega Millions
tickets arent the only ones saliva-
ting over the record $540 million
jackpot that could be won today
some state governments
struggling through lean times
knowa hometown winner would
bring a tax bonanza.
Taxes on a lump-sum payment
option to a single winner could
meantens of millions of dollars of
badly needed revenue that could
go to restore entire social service
programs on the chopping block,
pay for hundreds of low-income
housingunits, forestall newtaxes
or hire more state troopers.
So many tickets have been sold
that the jackpot climbed Thurs-
day to the largest in U.S. lottery
history, according to officials in
Rhode Island, one of 42 states
where Mega Millions is played. If
a lone winner took the lump-sum
payout on the jackpots current
amount, it wouldbe anestimated
$389.8 million.
Id love it if a Rhode Islander
wins, said Rep. Helio Melo, the
chairman of the Houses Finance
Committee.
In Rhode Island, when the tax
man comes calling for his 5.99
percent, that would mean an esti-
mated $23.3 million, forked over
in a single payment.
With it, the state could pay for
most of a $25 million bond for af-
fordable housing that voters may
be asked to approve this fall. It
could also help Rhode Island re-
ach its goal for aid to school dis-
tricts for the first time. The state,
whichhas a $7.9billionbudget, is
$22 million short.
A big lottery windfall wouldnt
solve the states fiscal woes, but it
could help chip away at the debt,
pay for one-time expenses or de-
lay budget cuts or tax increases
including on expensive cloth-
ing, pet grooming, car washes
and taxi fares at least for a
year, Melo said.
States set their own tax rates
on lottery winnings. New York,
for instance, charges 8.82 per-
cent, while several, including
California, charge none.
Ohios share of the lump-sum
payout would be $23 million,
hardly pocket change but still a
fraction of the states $56 billion
two-year budget.
Were not holding our breath
waiting for a tax windfall for the
state, but we will always root for
Ohio and Ohioans and hope lot-
tery luck comes to a Buckeye,
said Joe Testa, the states tax
commissioner.
In Montana, lawmakers al-
ready could have an excess of
$500 million to work with when
they write a budget in 2013. An-
other $50 million or so from tax
collections on an in-state Mega
Millions win would be icing on
the cake.
State Sen. Dave Lewis, a for-
mer Montana budget director
who nowleads the Finance Com-
mittee, said he would use his in-
fluence to make sure the windfall
is used for one-time spending,
such as on buildings and infras-
tructure.
I just bought a ticket, he said.
I hope its me.
Rhode Island already has a tax
windfall coming its way fromtwo
recent Powerball wins. An 81-
year-old Newport woman won
the Feb. 11 jackpot worth $336.4
million, and the winning ticket
for $60 million jackpot on March
7 was sold here.
The Rhode Island Association
of School Committees has asked
thestatetousethe$17millionfor
technology and wireless Internet
in schools. That would be in
place of a $20 million bond.
Gov. Lincoln Chafee has said
the state, which is facing a $117
million budget shortfall next fis-
cal year, cant rely on those lot-
tery winnings and, of course,
no state can. But his director of
administration recently weighed
in, saying of the tax payment:
Were happy to collect it.

Larry Newman, the cham-
bers vice president for plan-
ning, policy and develop-
ment, said there is currently
some serious interest in
the building but declined to
provide any details about the
potential buyer, what use
they see for the structure or
a potential sale price.
Its our policy not to dis-
cuss details of real estate
transactions in exploratory
stages, Newman said.
He did rule out one poten-
tial use.
If the building is going to
be purchased and restored,
its not going to be used as a
museum, Newman said. He
also said that the potential
buyer has not given any in-
dication that the fate of the
Sterling will have any impact
on the purchase of the an-
nex.
It would happen with or
without the Sterling coming
down, Newman said.
The chamber, which is tax-
able, transferred the Sterling
Annex to the tax-exempt
Wilkes-Barre City Industrial
Development Authority for
$1 at the end of 2007, records
show. The chamber contin-
ues to manage the building,
paying for the mothballing,
maintenance and insurance,
Newman has said.
He called the property an
asset for the city and its a
building with an opportunity
for reuse and its a building
with historic significance.

grade M-80s in a backpack when passing
through security at the airport around 5:30
a.m. as he was about to board a plane to San
Francisco, Calif., Chief Inspector Joseph Sulli-
van said at a news conference. The bag also
contained a water bottle filled with flash powd-
er, according to the Transportation Security
Administration.
Sullivan said Picklo was stopped after
screeners noticed an anomaly in the back-
pack. He noted Picklo never got through secu-
rity and no one was ever in danger.
He says that he has an interest in these
items professionally, Sullivan said.
Township police Chief Robert Jolley said his
department was called around 9 a.m. fromfed-
eral authorities in Philadelphia with a request
to keep the house on Harris Street under
watch.
Our only involvement was securing the
house until federal authorities got here, Jolley
said.
The 3-year-old, four-bedroom house with an
enclosedgaragesits highonahill at theendof a
steep driveway. It was built in 2008.
Jolley and several township police officers
were stationed outside the house in the drive-
way for most of the day.
A federal agent who was at the house with
township police asked that a photographer not
take his picture or those of ATF agents who ar-
rived Thursday afternoon.
It was not immediately knownif any suspect-
ed explosive devices were found in the house.
Jolley said he did not knowPicklo nor did he
knowhowlong he lived at the house located in
the Maplewood Heights section of the town-
ship.
Aneighbor across the street declinedtocom-
ment.
Luzerne County property records list Daniel
and Gayle Pieretti, of Larksville, as owners of
the property. They could not be reached for
comment.
Sullivan said Picklo is being charged with
possession of a destructive device and addi-
tional counts are likely.
Picklo indicated he forgot that the items
were in his bag, investigators said.
No flights were delayed, airport spokeswo-
man Victoria Lupica said. The checkpoint was
reopenedshortly before 6:30 a.m., according to
the TSA.
A review of court records indicates Picklo
has two traffic citations. No criminal offenses
were found.
Kingston Township police cited Picklo with
speeding in July 2009. He pleaded guilty and
paid a $155 fine.
State police at Tunkhannock cited him with
speeding in November. He was convicted after

Attorney Ernest Preate Jr. of

briefly with Lupas after the hearing.
Preate said he could not serve Lu-
pas with notice of the suits while in
the courthouse and wondered when

Lupas failed to accept service in
the past while at home, Preate
pointed out, and the new conditions
mostly confine him to his residence.
The problem with that is, is he
going to open the door when we get
there? Preate said. Well get it
done. Well get it done, one way or
the other.
he would be able to do so.
Munley placed Lupas on house ar-
rest with electronic monitoring by
the U.S. Probation Department and
ordered him to surrender his pass-
port.
The judge allowed him to leave
his Plains Township apartment to
take care of matters that are of ne-
cessity for his survival, as request-
sonally.
Olshefski, when asking for the im-
position of conditions on Lupas dur-
ing his release, said, We dont
know where millions and millions
of dollars are right now.
She estimated between $4 million
and $5 million are unaccounted for.
The figure astonished Barb Ga-
rey, who invested $125,000 with Lu-
pas in 2006 when her husband died.
He was a good friend. I had no
reason not to trust the man, she
said of Lupas.

NEW ORLEANS Looking
for those charmingunderdogsto-

This years Final Four brings
together an ensemble of big-
name schools, all saddled with
their typically big-time issues
a reminder that everything incol-
lege sports is not as pure as the
NCAA and its student-athletes
would like us to believe.
In the national semifinals Sat-
urday, Kentucky plays Louisville
and Ohio State meets Kansas. All
the schools have made headlines
for a variety of off-the-court rea-
sons over thelast several months,
including the proliferation of
one-and-done players, stories
about coaches in courtrooms and
a handful of financial misdeeds
involving recruits, players,
coaches and even ticket manag-
ers.
Andso, while there are no little
vs. big stories this year the
way tiny Butler or overlooked
VCU beat the odds last season to
make it to basketballs pinnacle
were regaled with tall tales of
redemption and resurrection:
Teams and coaches that over-
came their problems and got ev-
eryone thinking about basketball
instead of the underside of a busi-
ness driven by a $10.8 billion TV
contract.
There are a lot of good players
out there who are performing
right now, Kentucky coach John
Calipari said.
For his part, Calipari is perfect-
ing the art of luring a player for
one, maybe two seasons, to con-
tend for a championship, then
saying a guilt-free goodbye. Dur-
ing his more candid moments,
hell tell youhes nofanof the rule
that allows players to leave col-
lege after a single year. But its
out of his hands. Its the NBAthat
put in the rule stating players
must be 19 before they can enter
the draft.
It means freshman Anthony
Davis and Michael Kidd-Gil-
christ, both projected as high lot-
tery picks, probably will be gone
after this season, and its not im-
possible to think the rest of the
starting lineup all freshmen
and sophomores could leave,
as well.

Its now an annual event the
head coach whose team plays
their daughters club.
Last season, Bob Bertonis first
season at Crestwood left him in
the line of fire against his daugh-
ter, Sarah.
Sarah was an all-state pitcher
for Nanticoke who has already
authored the first no-hitter in
Millersville University history in
her first month as a collegiate
player. Needless to say, the two
father-daughter days on the
schedule last season went to the
daughter.
This season, Wednesday, April
25, will be father-daughter day,
though the Bertonis will not be
playing.
Holy Redeemer head coach
Mark Senchak will get to see his
daughter, Kelcie, in the visiting
colors of Wyoming Valley West.
Its going to be fun, Mark
Senchak said. Its a little like the
Bertoni thing. Were just as pas-
sionate about the game as they
are. And Kelcie played on the
World Series team with Sarah.
The unusual wrinkle to the
showdown is the fact that this is
Mark Senchaks second season
leading the Royals and Kelcie has
been playing softball for years.
Just not last year.
She ran track last year, Mark
Senchak said of Kelcie, a pitcher
for the Spartans. She plays soft-
ball year-round and just wanted
something different last year.
Bragging rights may be on the
line when the Senchaks teams
meet, but there likely wont be
any bragging once the family sits
down for dinner after the game.
I know how she is and I know
how I am, Mark Senchak said.
Once we cross that line, its on.
But were keeping it fun. There
will be a lot of love after the

spring in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania when horses are seen trot-
ting.
Andspringhas sprung, as Mo-
hegan Sun at Pocono Downs an-
nounced formally its racing
schedule for the year during a
press conference at the casinos
Seasons Ballroom on Thursday
afternoon.
It will be a season dotted with
excitement and history, as spe-
cial events are scheduled
throughout the year.
Ron Turcotte, the jockey up-
on Secretariat when he won the
Triple Crown, will be here, an-
nounced Dale Rapson, the vice
president of racing operations
for Pocono Downs. To have
him here the night before the
Belmont (Stakes) is quite an
honor.
Rapson, who has seen it all in
his 33 years at Pocono Downs,
showed his passion for the sport
and its legacy in making the an-
nouncement, referringtothe ac-
complishments of Turcotte and
Secretariat as one of the top
sports moments of the 20th cen-
tury while showing a clip of
their crowning moment at the
Belmont in 1973, when they
won by 31 lengths.
Turcotte, a member of seven
sports halls of fame, will be
available for autographs during
his visit on Friday, June 8. Rap-
son said there would be a nomi-
nal feefor anautograph, but that
proceeds collected will go to the

hope of finding a capable replace-

That was my first ground

What a way to return to Phila-
delphias infield.
Playing first base for the Phil-
lies for the second time this
week, Thome dove to his left to
snare a wicked hopper off the bat
of Tampa Bays Carlos Pena to
start the fifth inning. From his
knees in foul territory, Thome
made a perfect toss to pitcher
Cole Hamels covering first to

Crestwood defeats Coughlin in tennis
NEW YORK Aaron Bright
came off the bench to spark Stan-
ford to an NIT title.
The sophomore point guard
had 15 points and six assists in
Thursdays 75-51 rout of Minne-
sota to earn most outstanding
player honors, energizing the
Cardinal just as the coaches had
hoped when they took himout of
the starting lineup in mid-Febru-
ary.
I give him all the credit, be-
cause it takes a player buyinginto
something like that before it
works, and he bought into his
role, coach Johnny Dawkins
said. When he comes in, he
brings us energy. ... I think its
hard for teams to prepare for him
because hes not out there right
away. When he comes in, it gives
us a big lift, and it gives our kids
confidence in what they can do.
The victory brought Stanfords
seasonfull circle. BackinNovem-
ber, the Cardinal let a late lead
slip away in the final of the NIT
Season Tip-Off at Madison
Square Garden against a Syra-
cuse teamthat wouldearna No. 1
seed in the NCAA tournament.
We were here before in the
preseason and we fell short,
Dawkins said. And so we talked
about this experience as how
much have we grown: You know,
to show we have grown, wed
have to win this tournament.
And our kids, I think they ral-
lied around that.
The Golden Gophers arent ex-
actly the Orange, but when Stan-
ford took the lead this time, the
Cardinal never looked back.
Stanford forced two turnovers
to open the second half to take a
10-point lead and stayed up by
double figures the rest of the way.
The Golden Gophers turned it
over 22 times.
The third-seeded Cardinal (26-
11) won their second NIT title,
the first coming in 1991. Another
young Stanford guard, freshman
Chasson Randle, also scored 15
points.
The final minutes turnedintoa
celebration of 3-pointers and fast-
break layups for the Cardinal,
players on the bench jumping up
to cheer on nearly every posses-
sion.

Memorial. Thats a good thing.
Racing with Lucky Lucky Leo,
Simons was quite unlucky last
April 26. His horse went down
with John Campbells Total
Shark in a spectacular spill. Both
drivers were ejected fromtheir
rides, but both got up fromthe
wreck under their own power.
Its not like hockey or football
where youve got all that pad-
ding and equipment on, Simons
said. But you want to get right
back on. The best thing is to get
back in the next race.
Simons figured rest would
help himovercome the wreck,
and he expected to be sore when
returned to Pocono Downs the
next day. He went to the track
anyway, but decided against
racing.
After the first wreck, I got up
and thought I was fine, Simons
said. I figured Id be sore the
day is all. But the pain just got
worse. Then (a couple of days
later) I had to get reassessed,
and it turned out I had a frac-
tured spine and a concussion.
Simons, 51, was back by June
and ready to continue his win-
ning ways. But two months later,
he was in the hospital again after
an accident on the Pocono
Downs track Aug. 20.
A horse in front of Simons
ride, Eoos, went down on its
own. Suddenly it was a mad
scramble to avoid disaster.
I sawan opening to the left
and the next thing I know, the
horse flops, Simons said. The
next thing I heard was the siren.
I opened my eyes and Shawn
(Simons 18-year-old son) was
sitting on a stool over top of me.
I asked himif we were going
to the hospital. He said we were
already there. I was out 20-25
minutes, thats a lot.
Simons suffered a broken nose
and lacerations on his forearms
in the wreck.
That one was tougher on me,
though, because my son was
there and had to go through
this, Simons said.
As Simons missed more time
recovering, trainer Gail Wrubel
maintained the stable of 12
horses she shares with Simons.
Gail really buckled down and
carried the load, Simons said.
Upon his return to the track,
Simons carried the load for
Pocono Downs. He was the top
driver fromthe track in the East
Meets West Challenge, which
puts the best drivers fromPoco-
no against the best fromThe
Meadows.
Simons placed third overall,
and led the Pocono contingent
in the nine-driver competition.
That was a great event,
Simons recalled. If I had done a
couple of things differently ...
But I finished third overall and
really enjoyed the challenge.
Simons, a Kentucky native
who also has a 24-year-old
daughter, Kristen, has been a fan
favorite at Pocono Downs for
more than two decades and isnt
just admired for bringing win-
ners across the finish line. He is
willing to take time out of a
work out to actually stop on the
track and talk to fans.
I love to see the kids at the
track, on the fence watching
everything, Simons said. I
grewup in Kentucky, and when
my dad would take me to a Cin-
cinnati Reds game, it would have
meant the world to me for one of
those guys to even wave at me.
So I just try to do what I can.

Theres a lot of construction
going on, Soper said. Weve
added a patio and made changes
to the (track) apron to accommo-
date that. Weve alsobuilt a brand
new TV studio.

POCONO
ly an American League designat-
ed hitter during the past six sea-
sons and hadnt played regularly
at first base since leaving the
Phillies as a free agent following
the 2005 season.
You always make sure youre
wanting the ball hit to you,
Thome continued, and are
ready to go.
Following his toss to Hamels,
Thome alertly rolled out of the
way to give the hard-charging
Pena some space around first
base.
We got it over there, thats the
most important thing, Thome
laughed.
But how far can he go?
Even Thome doesnt know.
Hes had lower back problems
that have limited his production
the past fewyears, and this deep
into spring training, hes still try-
ing to build leg strength.
I will say there are times after
I play I get a little sore here and
there, Thome said. For the
most part, my backs been pretty
good. My legs are getting in
shape.
The Phillies signed Thome
during the offseason to help
themshape uptheir first base sit-
uation while Howard slowly re-
covers from the torn Achilles
tendonhe sufferedwhile making
the last out of Philadelphias 2011
National League playoff series
loss to St. Louis.
Thomes bat has never been a
question.
The powerful slugger has 604
career home runs (eighth on
baseballs all-time list) and1,674
RBI (26thall-time). Andwithhis
moonshot home runs and good-
natured personality, Thome was
a fan favorite and the biggest
draw in the Phillies lineup dur-
ing the early years of Citizens
Bank Park in Philadelphia.
And his two laser shots that
were gloved in deep right field
Thursday were evidence hes
still got a lot of pop in his swing.
Nowhes showingsigns he can
bring just as much excitement
playing defense.
Weve obviously had to work
to feel comfortable, Thome
said, to the point where you feel
youre not uncomfortable out
there.
Just the thought of that may
make Phillies opponents feel ed-
gy.
THOME
TAMPA, Fla. Now that Colin
Curtis had a taste of playing with
the New York Yankees, hes hun-
gry for more time with them.
But actually, anyplaceonabase-
ball field would be fine with him.
After missing the entire 2011
season while recovering from
shoulder surgery, Curtis is back
with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Yankees trying to regain the flour-
ishthat hadhiminthe runningfor
a job with the parent New York
Yankees in spring training last
year.
So while others shoot for big
home runnumbers or a better bat-
ting average, Curtis has a more
modest goal this season.
Just trying to get back and get
healthy, Curtis said.
So far, so good.
Curtis received a long look in
New Yorks major league camp
this spring, playing in17 games as
a non-roster invitee while hittinga
homer and driving home three
runs.
He was sent down to Triple-A
campto beginhis seventhpro sea-
sonMonday, andinhis first spring
game with Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre, the hard-hitting outfielder
delivered an RBI groundout in
Wednesdays victory against Le-
high Valley.
I havent been here long, just a
couple of days, but its been going
good, Curtis, 27, said.
Things may have turned better
for him, if not for an untimely in-
jury.
Curtis hit .289 with 24 doubles
and five homers for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre during the 2010 sea-
son, but impressedtheparent Yan-
kees by hitting three homers and
driving in eight runs when he was
calleduptoNewYorkfor31games
that season in his first major
league action.
He was in the running to make
the big club as a reserve outfielder
inspringtraininglast year, but suf-
fered a separated shoulder that re-
quired season-ending surgery in
early March.
Although he tried to work back
into shape playing in the Venezue-
lan Winter League, the Yankees
didnt want to take chances. They
tookCurtis off their 40-manroster
and assigned him to Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre.

for his second straight game,
covering 10 innings.
Angels 11, Royals 8
TEMPE, Ariz. Albert
Pujols had four hits and three

ond inning when Kendrys Mo-
rales, Mark Trumbo and Hank
Conger hit back-to-back-to-back
homers off Royals starter Ever-
ett Teaford, who had been

Cordes joins Vitale as an
All-American freshman.
Cordes is wrestling at 145
pounds in the freshman tour-
nament, while Vitale is a 138-
pounder. Roper is participa-
ting in the sophomore tourna-
ment at 126 pounds, while
Krasavage is in the junior

Coachs Outlook: We lost
quite a few starters from last
year, but are returning a strong
class of sophomores, many of
whom started last year, and
juniors. Were young, but will be
very competitive. We want to
start this season the way we
ended last season. Our depth
means there will be competition
for playing time all season, and
many of the players are skilled
enough to play more than one

Coachs Outlook: Defense will
be our strength. Were counting
on Snyder to lead team in RBI
and batting average. Gallagher,
a great defensive player, put a
lot of work in during the offsea-
son. Ritz is our best athlete and
had nearly 20 runs in the first
4-5 games before she got hurt
last year. Davies gave us great
starts last year as a freshman. A
player to watch will be Chrissy
Perry, a great athlete who has
gotten a lot stronger and stead-
ier at the plate.

have some very good freshmen.
Were starting with freshmen
batting 1-2-3 in the order, so I
think theyll contribute some.
Even though you have some
good young players, though,
they are still young. We ought to
be better at the end of the

ginning. This is going to be a

Coachs Outlook: Its going to
take all 24 players on the roster
to win. We have just three se-
niors with the team, so its a
young group. But they are work-
ing really hard in their second
year in the system, and they are
picking it up quickly. We have
two pitchers in Abby and Stacey
who will be key for us.

hopes here, but this feels like
2002, 2003, 2004. That group
won a state title (in 2003) and
there were eight seniors on that
team. This is a tight-knit group
like that, and very talented. Any
kid who isnt a starter on this
team could probably be a start-
er somewhere else. Those two
groups, the 2002-04 teams and
this one, are very special. Thats
why Ive stayed here 22 years.

ing to build the program back

the program in a positive direc-
tion. We have a couple of play-
ers who can step into the circle,
so were more or less just devel-
oping a few pitchers.

good players there. We did lose
three key infielders who were all
seniors last year. We are going
to bank a lot on the younger
players coming up to fill their
shoes. We do have a lot of expe-
rience despite their age. Its just
a matter of the younger players
stepping up and making their
mark.

Coachs Outlook: Were a
very young team this year with
only two seniors on the roster.
We have a lot of talent, were
just trying to find the right
combination to bring us togeth-
er as one unit. Its hard to tell
just what we have yet, but we
will stay competitive with just
about everyone.

Coachs Outlook: Its a re-
building year. What we lost in
those seniors was our offense.
Ashley (Inman) and Jamie
(Hampsey) will keep us in
games, but the biggest question
mark for us is can our young
kids come in and score runs? If I
was asked to tell you the better
of the two (pitchers) Id prob-
ably pass on that one.

brought a lot back and this is a
very talented team. Weve been

have enough offense to score
the runs, we just need to put

Battery: Kelcie Senchak and

Coachs Outlook: Weve al-
ready tied our record from last
year just with our early success
in the exhibition season. Were
young but we have some talent.
Our defense has been phenom-
enal and our batting is coming
around. This is definitely not
last years team.

Coachs Outlook: Were hop-

ment on last season. We are
looking for our returning play-
ers to step up and show some
leadership for this group. Our
infield is stronger than it has
been in the past.

Coachs Outlook: We have
nine seniors this season and
complete the roster with six
sophomores. Our goal for this
season is to get through Lake-
Lehman and Northwest and win
the conference. I have coached
some of these players since
seventh grade, so we know this
is key to have the best season
we can.

Battery: Bre Headman and

Coachs Outlook: Our pitch-
ing and our defense will carry
us. All of our players have at
least two years experience in
the field. All three of our pitch-
ers (Headman, Miller and Wan-
del) are capable of winning
games at the varsity level. Tif-
fant Oplinger has started every
game in her career, and is the
teams top hitter. Vickey Cad-
walder has over-the-fence home
run power. Bre Headman, at 9-3
with a 1.30 ERA, was among the
best pitchers in the league.

zyk, Becca Belch
Coachs Outlook: With such a
young team, the goal of every
game is to work together and
win. Captain Amy Kowalczyk,
the lone senior on the roster,
returns behind the plate. Two
junior captains this season,
Chrissy Shonk at first base and
Eilish Hoban in left field, will
take on leadership roles. Three
more underclassmen Sarah
McCann, Leah Merrick and
Brianna DiMaggio have come
back with more power this year
after working hard over the
offseason. We expect the fresh-
men to make a big impact both
offensively and defensively this
season.

Coachs Outlook: We were
young last year and lost our
pitcher and catcher from that
team. Were still very young,
with just two juniors, a handful
of sophomores and the rest are
freshmen. No seniors. But we do
have a lot of returning players
seven in all. This year should be
an exciting one.

Coachs Outlook: Were look-
ing to be a contender in the
district playoffs. We played a
good game against Old Forge
last year, but we let it slip away
(a district semifinal loss). Were
a young team, with just three
seniors again. Its going to be a
tough road, but if the girls work
hard, we have a good shot at it.

Gagliardi
Battery: Megan Bresnahan,

Coachs Outlook: Were really
hopeful of posting a .500 re-
cord this season. We have a
good group of hitters on this
team and are highly optimistic
that we can win at least six
games in a 12-game season.
Katie Marsman, the Louisville
Slugger/NFCA All-North Region
second team catcher, is a qual-
ity leader. Shes an RA in the
dorms, and will play ice hockey
and softball in college at SUNY-
Potsdam.

Plenty of coaches have had
their daughters on their rosters,
but it is unusual (normally) to
see family members face off like
the WVC has. Senchak says that,
in a way, coaching against his
daughter is easier than having
the parent-child dynamic cross
paths with the coach-player rela-
tionship.
Not everyparent feels that way.
Id hope not, Hazleton Area
coach Vince Trivelpiece said of
coaching against one of his three
daughters. Ive coached half the
Berwick team in travel league,
and I know its difficult to play
them. Id be curious what kind of
pitches he calls when shes up.
TEAMS TO WATCH
Berwick The Bulldogs, who
bring back a number of experi-
enced young players, are conten-
ders in Division 1 West after an
impressive playoff runs last sea-
son.
Hanover Area Loaded with
seniors and looking to avenge a
quick exit in last years District 2
playoffs can be a recipe for great
success for the Hawkeyes.
Hazleton Area Perennial fa-
vorites in Division 1 East, the
Cougars are embracing their
youth movement in an extreme
way, topping the batting order
with freshmen.
Nanticoke The WVCs lone
20-win team last season lost one
starter from last year, all-every-
thingSarahBertoni. Plenty of tal-
ent remains in the Trojanettes
dugout, though.
Northwest The Rangers are
looking for the playoff success
they had a couple of seasons
back, and with most everyone
back from last year, this could be
their best chance.
FIRST-YEAR FUN
There are four first-year coach-
es inthe WVC. All have ties tothe
programs they have assumed, so
they expect better seasons than
last year.
Well, Wayne Oplinger at Lake-
Lehman can be excused if he
doesnt put pressure on his team
to guarantee a better mark than
last seasons impressive 14-4.
Dave DeLuca at Pittston Area,
Stephanie Griffinat WyomingAr-
ea and Desiree Hooper at Wyom-
ing Valley West have taken over
programs that combined for nine
wins last season. They expect to
combine to top that number be-
fore the calendar hits May.

Kingston native Jim The
Kid Hettes is set to square
off against fellow MMA fight-
er Steven Siler, who will look
to keep his current run
through the UFCs feather-
weight division on the ascent.
According to MMAWeekly-
.com, the fighters have ver-
bally agreed to hold their
bout at the June 22 show in
Atlantic City, N.J. The fight
will also be aired at UFC on
FX 4.
With a perfect 10-0 record,
Hettes has been extremely
impressive in his young UFC
career. He dominated former
Ultimate Fighter cast mem-
ber Alex Bruce Leroy Ca-
ceres in his UFC debut before
defeating another UF alum in
Nam Phan at UFC 141 last De-
cember.
However, Hettes will face
some difficult competition in
Siler.
After winning an upset over
former WEC competitor Mi-
cah Miller to gain entry into
The Ultimate Fighter Season
14 house, Siler has since de-
feated Josh Clopton and Cole
Miller at UFC on FX 2.

said this is a price worth paying
for running a players-first pro-
gram with players who worry
about winning first, thenreapthe
benefits when the NBA comes
calling.
While he applauds his teams
unselfishness, the NCAA insists
it is toughening its academic
standards and isnt so concerned
with the 15 players who do leave
after one year, but rather the
5,500 who dont.
While the NCAA spins that is-
sue, its rules police have spent
plenty of time visiting Ohio
States athletic department over
the last several years. First, there
was the firing of coach Jim
OBrien, who was found to have
givenmoneytoa recruit, thenlat-
er sued the school for wrongful
termination because he got the
ax before the NCAAhad officially
determined hed done anything
wrong.
Thad Matta cleaned up that
mess and has led the Buckeyes to
the Final Four twice in the last
seven years. Though the basket-
ball program has recovered nice-
ly, the athletic department didnt
learn all its lessons: The football
team is on probation because of
violations that happened during
Jim Tressels tenure.
The takeaway quote from that
entire episode came from univer-
sity president Gordon Gee, when
asked if he was going to dismiss
Tressel while the coachs prob-
lems were still unfolding.
No, are you kidding? Gee
saidwitha laugh. Let me be very
clear. Im just hoping the coach
doesnt dismiss me.
The last year has not been the
greatest for college sports, with
child sex abuse allegations at
Penn State and Syracuse and a
number of scandals uncovered at
Miami, NorthCarolina, Southern
California, Tennessee and else-
where.
This week, of course, is sup-
posed to be a celebration of
whats right with college sports.
Yet its hard not to ignore some
tidbits that came up on the road
to the Final Four:
Louisville spent the first two
weeks of the tournament off cam-
pus, not wanting to fly back and
forth to play games scheduled by
the NCAA in Portland and Phoe-
nix.
Last years champion, Con-
necticut, isnt eligible to play in
the tournament next year be-
cause of NCAA academic sanc-
tions, though the school is ap-
pealing.
USA Today reported the four
Final Four coaches earned be-
tween $2.8 million (Matta) and
$5.4 million (Calipari). Calipari
and Pitino combine to make
$10.2 million a year.
The NCAAhasnt been as big a
player at Kansas, but thats not to
say the Jayhawks are immune to
corruption.
Last May, five athletic depart-
ment employees and consultants
got between 37 and 57 months
prison time for unlawfully selling
football and basketball season
tickets to ticket brokers and oth-
ers, then pocketing the money.
Athletic director Lew Perkins
saw his name sullied, and al-
though he wasnt accused of any
wrongdoing, he retired a year
ahead of schedule in the wake of
the scandal.
At Louisville, the NCAA didnt
get involved, but Pitino certainly
landed in the headlines for all the
wrong reasons.
His name was trending for
months while details of his extra-
marital affair and the ensuing ex-
tortion trial were aired out in
public. Pitinos reputation was
damaged, and the woman who
tried to bribe him to keep the
thing secret got a seven-year pris-
on sentence.
A lot of times the last two
years I tookalot of grief fromalot
of people saying a lot of things,
Pitino said last week after Louis-
ville beat Florida to make his
sixth Final Four. And I never
thought inmylifeI couldturnthe
other cheek and just walk on.
And I did. And some of the most
ugly things Ive heard, I just took
it inside. Andtoday, as I lookback
on it, Im real proud that you
could turn the other cheek.

This weekend the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton Penguins will
face two teams that have a lot to
play for.
Today they take on the Con-
necticut Whale, who are battling
for first place in the Northeast
Division and what could be the
difference between a third and
sixth seed in the postseason.
On Saturday the Penguins
travel to Albany to face a Devils
teamthat is four points out of the
final playoff spot.
Two days and two desperate
teams its good preparation for
what the Penguins will face in
the playoffs.
Theyre excellent games for
us, saidheadcoachJohnHynes.
We want to play in meaningful
games and every team you play
this time of year, theyre all play-
ing for something which makes
this a very competitive time.
Even the Penguins have some-
thing to gain. They all but have a
playoff spot locked up, but they
are currently one point behind
the Hershey Bears for the fourth
seed. Considering a first-round
matchup against the Bears is
likely, the Penguins would like
nothing better than to move into
the fourth spot and earn home
ice advantage against their East
Division foe.
Knowing that youre going to
be in the playoffs is a nice posi-
tion to be in, but we still have
some things to gain, said win-
ger Geoff Walker. We also need
to worry about us this week and
clean up some things to get our
game to where it needs to be for
the playoffs.
The Penguins are 1-1 against
the Whale this season and 1-2
versus the Devils. While they
want to work on their game,
beating two teams that are, at
the very least, playoff conten-
ders would give the Penguins a
boost of confidence.
These are big games because
they are really a test to let you
knowif youre going to be able to
compete in the playoffs, said
forward Nick Petersen. You
want to prove to yourself that
you can beat teams like this, and
then build off it heading into the
playoffs.
NOTES: One day after being
sent to Wheeling, rookie goal-
tender Patrick Killeen was back
with the Penguins for Thurs-
days practice. Hynes said Kil-
leen was sent to Wheeling so he
could play in Wednesdays game
against Reading. He stopped 18
of 20 shots in a 3-0 loss. With
Brent Johnson ready to assume
his backup role in Pittsburgh,
Hynes said its likely that Brad
Thiessen will join the team in
Connecticut. D Carl Sneep
(upper body) has been ruled out
for this weekend and may be on
the shelf long term.

Pens opponents this

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif.
Amy Yang shot a 6-under 66 to
take a one-stroke lead over
Lindsey Wright in the opening
round of the Kraft Nabisco
Championship on Thursday.
Yani Tseng was third at 68,
ending the top-ranked players
streak of eight consecutive
rounds with the lead. The five-
time major champion has won
two straight tournaments and
three of five this season, while
Yang and Wright have never
won on the LPGA Tour.
The 22-year-old Yang made
five birdies in seven holes
around the turn at Mission
Hills, using a steady putting
stroke to take the early lead in
the first major of the year.
Wearing oversized sunglasses
even while putting, Michelle
Wie opened with a 73. Defend-
ing champion Stacy Lewis had
four consecutive bogeys in a 74.
Wrights 67 with five birdies
on the back nine of the Dinah
Shore Tournament Course is
another positive step in the
32-year-old Australians come-
back from depression and anx-
iety. After quitting golf for the
final four months of last year,
Wright returned with a victory
in the New Zealand Womens
Open last month, followed by
this strong start at Mission
Hills.
It wasnt a great time, and I
just couldnt really get through
it, Wright said. Its hard to
explain other than from a phys-
ical standpoint. People think,
Depression, oh, just get over
it. It really impacts you phys-
ically, and playing on this tour,
grinding it out each week when
youre not sleeping and you
cant concentrate or focus, it
just gets you down, and its a bit
of a nightmare.
Yang chipped in from the
fringe for birdie on the 13th,
highlighting a strong start at
Mission Hills for the former
teen sensation. Yang has five
top-10 finishes in majors over
the previous three years after
winning on the European tour,
but the table tennis enthusiast
who idolizes fellow Korean pro
Se Ri Pak hasnt broken
through to hold an LPGA Tour
trophy.
Houston Open
HUMBLE, Texas Angel
Cabrera and Carl Pettersson
shot 7-under 65 in calm morn-
ing conditions to top the Hous-
ton Open leaderboard before
first-round play was suspended
because of a thunderstorm.
Only 51 players completed
play before the horn sounded at
1:27 p.m. Tournament director
Steve Timms said the storm
dumped about 11/4 inches of
rain, leaving shallow ponds on
many of the fairways.
Grounds crews fanned out
across the course late in the
afternoon, and Timms was
optimistic that Redstone would
be playable when the first
round was scheduled to resume
at 7:30 a.m. on Friday.
Sicilian Open
SCIACCA, Sicily Irelands
Peter Lawrie shot an 8-under 64
at Verdura Golf and Spa Resort
to take a one-stroke lead after
the first round of the Sicilian
Open.
Wales Jamie Donaldson,
Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen and
Argentinas Tano Goya were
tied for second. John Daly
opened with a 71, and Italian
teenager Matteo Manassero
had a 71.

Transportation bill passes
Congress passed a stopgap three-
month bill Thursday to keep federal
highway and transit aid flowing and
avoid a widespread shutdown of con-
struction projects. The move pushes
congressional action on a long-term
overhaul of transportation programs
deeper into an already fractious elec-
tion year.
The House acted first, passing the
extension by a mostly party-line vote of
266 to 158 after Republicans and Dem-
ocrats traded verbal jabs over how best
to prevent economic disruption.
The Senate followed just over three
hours later, passing the measure by a
voice vote over the objections of some
Democrats.
Best Buy closing stores
Best Buy Co. Inc. said Thursday it
will close 50 big box stores this year
and eliminate 400 jobs, mostly at its
corporate headquarters, in a bid to
boost profits amid declining stores
sales in the United States.
The company has not yet finalized
the list of stores to be closed, said
spokeswoman Susan Busch.
For the fourth quarter, Best Buy said
it lost about $1.7 billion, or $4.89 per
share, compared to a profit of $651
million, or $1.62 per share, during the
same period a year ago.
Exxon no longer No. 1
Exxon Mobil is no longer the worlds
biggest publicly traded producer of oil.
For the first time, that distinction be-
longs to a 13-year-old Chinese company
called PetroChina. The Beijing compa-
ny was created by the Chinese govern-
ment to secure more oil for that na-
tions booming economy.
PetroChina announced Thursday
that it pumped 2.4 million barrels a day
last year, surpassing Exxon by 100,000.
The companys output increased 3.3
percent in 2011 while Exxons fell 5
percent.
Spanish workers strike
Spanish workers protested Thursday
against labor reforms they see as fla-
grantly pro-business, blocking traffic
and forming picket lines outside whole-
sale markets and bus garages as part of
a 24-hour nationwide strike.
Unions seek to scale back the gov-
ernments changes in labor market
rules, including changes that make it
cheaper and easier for companies to lay
off workers and cut wages.

THE TIMES LEADER FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 2012

PITTSTONTWP. After be-
ing told by its longtime bank,
Citizens Bank, that in addition
to having to pay for checks, it
would also earn no interest on
its accounts, officials at the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Inter-
national Airport decided to go
shopping for a new financial
partner.
After requesting terms and
conditions from other area
banks, the airports boardopted
to move its accounts to Fidelity
Bank, based in Dunmore. That
financial institution offered the
airport free checking, no mini-
mum balance requirement, no
service fees, same-day deposit
and a 0.35 annual percentage
yield on deposits.
They came up with the best
offer, saidGaryBorthwick, the
airports director of finances.
No fees were very big. But
the interest was even bigger,
saidBarry Centini, the airports
director.
The airport currently has
about $2 million in its account
andwiththe 0.35 APY, that will
mean about $7,000 in annual
interest earnings.
Its a substantial amount of
money, said Centini. Interest
on our money is income to us.
Borthwick noted the finan-
cial terms offered by most
banks were paltry, at best. PNC
Bank, one of six banks to offer
proposals to the airport, was
the only one to offer no inter-
est. First Liberty Bank offered
0.05 percent, Bank of America
offered 0.25; Penn Security of-
fered 0.30, and both Fidelity
and First National Bank offered
0.35 percent.
While Fidelity and First Na-
tional offered the highest rates,
First National was going to
charge for checks and had ser-
vice fees andminimum-balance
requirements.
Citizens, which the airport
has been with for at least five
years, did not submit an offer
for review and was therefore
not considered.
Fidelity Bank will become
the depository for airport funds
on May 1. Along with the
switch comes a Fidelity ATM
machine at the airport.

THRIVE WELLNESS CENTER OPENS IN KINGSTON
AMANDA HRYCYNA/ FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Amber Summers, owner of Thrive Wellness Center, celebrated the grand opening Thursday of her
new business at 647 Wyoming Ave., Kingston. Open since November, Thrive Wellness offers a
range of health and wellness treatments and advice as well as products and supplements. Certifi-
cation classes are available for anyone seeking to learn and practice holistic medicine. The busi-
ness is open Tuesday through Saturday, beginning at 9 a.m. For information or appointments, call
283-0111.
WASHINGTON The U.S. econo-
my grew at an annual rate of 3 percent
in the final three months of 2011, the
best pace in a year and a half. But that
growth has likely slowed in the current
quarter.
Businesses have been restocking
their shelves more slowly andshipping
fewer long-lasting manufactured
goods. In addition, Europes debt crisis
andweaker growthinAsia have slowed
demand for U.S. exports.
Stronger hiring in the first two
months of the year probably hasnt off-
set those weaknesses. Thats because
Americans pay has barely kept pace
with inflation even as gas prices have
spiked. So consumer spending, which
drives the largest share of economic ac-
tivity, probably hasnt increased much
from the end of last year.
Most economists expect growth to
pick up later this year as further hiring
lifts the economy.
The 3 percent annual rate was the
strongest since the spring of 2010.
Slower growth in exports than previ-
ously estimated was offset by stronger
business investment.
Still, economists expect growth has
probably slowed to 2 percent or less in
the current January-March quarter.
One bright spot for the economy is
that hiring has picked up. The econo-
my has added an average of 245,000
jobs per month from December
through February. The unemployment
rate has fallen by nearly a full percent-
age point since the summer to 8.3 per-
cent, the lowest level in three years.
The Labor Department said Thurs-
day that the number of people seeking
unemployment benefits fell to 359,000
last week, its lowest level in four years.
That suggests Marchwas another solid
month of hiring.

An alliance of drugstores
andcommunitypharmacists
has filed a federal lawsuit to
stop Express Scripts Inc.s
$29.1 billion takeover of
Medco Health Solutions, a
deal they fear would create a
giant pharmacy benefits
manager with too much lev-
erage andmarket share.
A combination of two of
the biggest U.S. pharmacy
benefits managers, or PBMs,
wouldhavedireconsequenc-
esforpatientsandretail com-
munity pharmacists, accord-
ing to the National Associ-
ation of Chain Drug Stores
and the National Communi-
ty Pharmacists Association.
They warn the deal could re-
duce competition and ser-
vice and raise mail-order
drug prices, among other
consequences.
Thismergerwouldcreate
a huge new middleman that
stands between patients and
their pharmacies, between
patientsandthemedications
they need, said Don Bell, a
senior vice president for the
chaindrugstore association.
Their complaint, filed in
theU.S. DistrictCourtforthe
Western District of Pennsyl-
vania, said the combined
company could reduce its
prescriptiondrugreimburse-
ment to retail community
pharmacies well below
competitivelevelsandforce
patients to use the PBMs
mail-order business and spe-
cialty pharmacies.
Express Scripts spokes-
manBrianHenrydeclinedto
comment onthelawsuit. But
he said Express Scripts and
Medco believe their combi-
nation will speed up their
ability to make prescription
drugssaferandmoreafforda-
ble. He also said they have
historicallyhadastrongrela-
tionshipwithpharmaciesof
all sizes, and they expect to
continue to do so.

Unfortunately,
our beautiful
sunny weather
today won't last
into the week-
end. In fact, by
sundown
tonight, skies will
be cloudy and
rain will move in
before midnight.
Across higher
elevations rain
and snow is pos-
sible, but even
there tempera-
tures will remain
above freezing
overnight. The
steady rain will
end early
Saturday morn-
ing, but scat-
tered showers
and sprinkles
could linger into
the early after-
noon. With a
northeast wind
and overcast
skies Saturday
will be a cold day
around here.
Rainfall totals
will range from 2
to 6 tenths of an
inch. Clearing at
night will lead up
to having sun-
shine return for
Sunday.
