SCRANTON Afederal judge

phy to remain incarcerated

ted via some

He also is

using an elec-
tronic device
to transmit a threat to ruin a per-
sons reputation with the intent
of extorting money or things of
other value from them, accord-
ing to the complaint.
The complaint, whichinitially
was filed under seal, was re-
leased Tuesday. It does not spec-
ify what type of device such as
a computer or cellphone Os-
trowski allegedly used to trans-
mit the image or images or his
hometown. It also does not iden-
tify the person whom Ostrowski
allegedly enticed or the person
whom he allegedly threatened.
An affidavit in support of the
complaint, which contains more
detail, remainedsealedTuesday.

The greater Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton region has experienced
a 39 percent decline in manufac-
turing jobs over the past decade,
but the industry is still a larger
part of the employment market
here than in all but 15 of the 100
largest metropolitan areas na-
tionwide.
And while the sector still em-
ploys one out of every10 workers
locally, well ahead of the national
rate, manufacturing wages are
among the lowest in the nation, a
status explained by the type of
manufacturing done here. The
report finds more than one-third
of manufacturingworkers nation-
ally engaged in moderately high
tech or very high-tech work,
with its accompanying high sala-
ries. In this area only about 16
percent of jobs fit those defini-
tions.
The details are includedina re-
port released today by the Brook-
ings Institution Metropolitan
Policy Program that compares
the state of manufacturing in the
nations top 100 metro areas by
population.
Penny Cannella, president of
the regions economic develop-
ment conduit Penns Northeast,
said the reports findings do not
surprise her but noted while
manufacturing jobs have fallen
over the past fewyears, the indus-
try is by no means losing its grip
on the region.
Walter Niziolek, senior vice
president of global manufactur-
ing for Exeter-based electric
scooter maker Pride Mobility,
said manufacturing is still strong
but technology and the economy
have played roles in limiting

courthouse, even though the pet-
itions were delivered in a single
trip.
The newspaper also questioned
excessive charges for certain days,
including instances in which Ste-
vens claimedtohave workedmore
than 24 hours in a single day. Ste-
venspreviouslyadmittedshemade
mistakes, but maintained the er-
rors were causedby anoversight.
Stevens was among18attorneys
whowere paid$55per hour by the
county torepresent parents whose
children are in the custody of Chil-
dren and Youth Services. The au-
dit, which reviewed only Stevens
bills, confirmed she overcharged
the county for time she spent on
cases, as well as time spent prepar-
ing anddelivering her bills.
According to Silverstone, Ste-
vens chargedatotal of $212,629for
work she performed over the 21-
month period. Silverstone deter-
minedthat amount includeddupli-
catebillsthattotaled1,073.5hours,
or $59,042.50
The most significant overbilling
involvedthepreparationanddeliv-
ery of fee petitions. Silverstone
identified1,619 billing entries that
included duplicate charges total-
ing just less than 1,001 hours, or
$55,049.50.
Silverstone also identified 126
bills inwhichStevens overcharged
for the number of hours of case-
work, which includes such things
as meetingwithclients andattend-
ing court hearings. That equaled
72.6 hours, or $3,993.
Silverstone concluded Stevens
does not have to pay any money to
the county, however, because of
credits she is due for checks she re-
ceived, but never cashed, and for
work she performed for which she
has not beenpaid.
Silverstone determined Stevens
was due a credit of $59,576, which
included $28,255 for work for
which she was not paid, and
$31,321fortwochecksshereceived
fromthe county, but never cashed.
Thosecheckshavesincebeenvoid-
ed.
HisanalysisdeterminedStevens
was owed $153,586.77 (the
$212,629.27billedlessovercharges
of$59,042.50). Thetotalamountof
county money Stevens actually re-
ceived and deposited into her
firms account was $132,953.22,
leaving a balance of $20,633.55
that is owedto her.
In a letter to county officials,
Raspanti saidshewill not seekpay-
ment of that money. He also noted
she has also spent about $37,000
for the Silverstone audit.
The audit concluded that, al-
thoughtherewereduplicatecharg-
es, the invoices appear to correctly
portray the services Stevens per-
formed and there was no evidence
that Stevens or her staff intention-
ally concealed information from
the county.
As to what caused the billing er-
rors, Silverstone pointed to an ac-
counting issue that may have con-
tributed to some of the billing is-
sues.
Regarding cases that included
excessive casework hours, Silver-
stone noted he found several in-
stances in which Stevens billed for
11 hours or more on a single day,
and 44 instances in which more
than11hours were charged for bill
preparationanddelivery.
He said that was partly because
employees in Stevens office
workedonthe cases, inadditionto
her. Whenthe informationwas en-
teredintothebillingsystem, it was
entered under her name only,
which indicated she performed all
the work when in fact it was done
by several people.

FORTY FORT Elementary science
has come a long way since the days of the
baking soda-and-vinegar volcano.
Students at Wyoming Seminary Lower
Schools Science Research Night on Tues-
day showed their parents and classmates
howtotrackacitys carbonfootprint using
Apple iPads, programbattery-powered ro-
bots and engineer a better Gameboy.
Call it science fair 2.0.
The event gave the elementary schools
students the opportunity to showoff what
theyd learned hands-on through group
science projects, and the 13 members of
the schools eighth-grade Science Re-
search Group a chance to exhibit what
theyd learned through individual experi-
ments.
Its a presentation-portfolio way, which
for a science curriculum is an important
way, to collaborate in groups and demon-
strate mastery of material through teach-
ing, said Jill Carrick, chair of the schools
science department.
Many displays and experiments made
use of the latest technology to enhance
learning.
Seventh-graders LiamGilroy and Julien
Simons, both of Kingston, explained how
they plotted forested zones in urban areas
on iPads using Google maps technology
and cross-referenced that information
against known pollution levels.
We learnedthat cities witha lot of trees
have cleaner air, and also that most major
cities have extremely polluted air, Liam
said.
Josiah Cottle of Center Moreland, Av-
ery Conynghamof Shavertown and two of
their seventh-grade classmates built and
programmed a Lego NXTMindstorms ro-
bot they named Clyde, who replies to
sound input by moving.
I hadnoidea what I was doingfromthe
beginning, but I learned a lot about sen-
sors, Avery said. Hands-onexperience is
like the best way to learn.
Others showed an interest in bringing
old-school technology up to date.
Morgan Ravenscroft, an eighth-grade
Science Research Group member, studied
the sound output method and hardware of
the original Nintendo Gameboy and
thought he could improve the devices au-
dio quality.
He soldered a 1/8-inch headphone jack
into one device and an RCA jack into an-
other, and found he was able to do just
that.
I had always liked taking things apart,
hesaid. AndI hadnt withaGameboy, and
I thought I could make the sound jack bet-
ter.
Eighth-grader Satyasaran Sreeharike-
san of Wilkes-Barre earned a perfect score
to take home the top prize at the regional
Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Sciences
regional conference for an experiment he
designed and conducted to determine the
effect of color on memory loss.
He showed his classmates black and
white images projected on four different
color backgrounds in a controlled setting
and tested their recall.
He learned something he hadnt expect-
ed that students recalled images with a
blue background more readily than others
but trial and error is what science is all
about. Satyasaransaidhe later learnedthe
color blue light has a stimulating effect on
the brain that works even through closed
eyelids.
I learned it after, he said. Because I
wanted to research my conclusion and
find out why.
Students show off what theyve learned

SCRANTON
Medical expert for Musto
A federal judge on Tuesday ap-
pointed a medical
expert to determine
whether retired
state Sen. Raphael
Musto is medically
fit to stand trial on
corruption charges.
Federal prosecu-
tors in April asked
that a medical expert be appointed
to examine Musto based on a report
by a physician submitted by Mustos
attorneys that says he is so ill with
liver disease that the rigors of a trial
could kill him.
Judge A. Richard Caputo on Tues-
day appointed Dr. K. Rajender Red-
dy, a gastroenterologist at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvanias medical
school, to review Mustos medical
records and examine Musto if neces-
sary to determine whether his liver
disease has impeded his ability to
prepare for his defense or withstand
the rigors of trial.
Reddy will charge $500 per hour
for the review.
Musto was indicted by a grand
jury in November 2010 on charges of
honest services fraud, corrupt receipt
of a reward for official action and
false statements. Prosecutors allege
Musto accepted money and gifts
from a local businessman -- identified
by Mustos attorneys as real estate
developer Robert Mericle -- for using
his influence as a senator to assist
Mericles projects.
He was originally scheduled to
stand trial in November 2011, but the
trial was twice continued due to
health reasons.
WILKES-BARRE
Grant will prep teachers
Wilkes University has received a
$548,000 grant from the state De-
partment of Education to prepare
teachers to become qualified to teach
middle school science, mathematics,
social studies or English/language
arts/reading.
Four courses, or 12 graduate cred-
its, will be offered tuition-free to
eligible Pennsylvania teachers start-
ing this summer. Coursework is
conducted complete-
ly online.
Beginning in fall
2013, Pennsylvania
will require all mid-
dle level teachers to be certified in
grades four through eight. Educators
must complete a program of study
and pass the corresponding test to
obtain the certification to teach
middle school. Testing alone will not
satisfy the certification requirement.
The Wilkes program is planning to
meet this new requirement and pre-
pare teachers for the Praxis II tests
for certification in these content
areas.
This is the second supplemental
grant Wilkes has been awarded through
the PDE Eligible Partnerships Postsec-
ondary Grant Program. Previous
awards, totaling more than $4 million,
have benefited more than 350 teachers.
Classes start June 4. For an eligi-
bility application, contact Kelly
Clisham at Kelly.clish-
am@wilkes.edu, call 800-WILKES-U,

NANTICOKEWhenRotar-
ian Paul OMalia asked Greater
Nanticoke Area High School
students if they knowsomeone
who does drugs or where to get
them, nearly every hand in the
auditorium went up Tuesday.
The teens familiarity with
drug abuse is why a Luzerne
County Correctional Facility
inmate was brought to school
to explain how drugs derailed
her life. She told the students
she hoped they would learn
from her mistakes by making
better decisions.
Its not worth it, Shannon,
31, said about her lifetime
struggle with drugs that land-
ed her in jail. As soon as I took
that first pill, it was all over.

mate, identified only as Shan-

A majority of Luzerne Coun-
ty Council rejected a controver-
sial proposed detective con-
tract Tuesday, whichmeans the
pay and benefits package will
be decided through binding ar-
bitration.
County Manager Robert
Lawton recommended passage
of the proposed contract.
Council members Rick Mo-
relli, Stephen A. Urban, Ste-
phen J. Urban, Edward Bromin-
ski, Harry Haas and Rick Wil-
liams voted against the propos-
al.
Minorityapproval votes were
cast by Jim Bobeck, Tim
McGinley, Elaine Maddon Cur-
ry, Linda McClosky Houck and
Eugene Kelleher.
Council members who sup-
ported the proposal said they
feared the county would end up
paying more through arbitra-
tion. Several also said they re-
spectedtheprofessional county
managers opinion.
Some of the opposing coun-
cil members said they appre-
ciate Lawtons work, but be-
lieve the proposal doesnt pro-
vide enough concessions.
Detectives would give up pay
raises this year and receive 2
percent hikes the remaining
four years of the contract.
Length-of-service bonuses
and other perks would be re-
duced for detectives hired in
the future, but not existing
ones.
The expired contracts mix of
raises, bonuses, overtime and
other benefits allowed three of
the 10 detectives to each be
paid more than $105,000 last
year.
Lawton said the proposal
could save $250,000 to
$617,000 a year if detectives
could be enticed to leave
through the offering of added
health care extensions and ex-
panded unused leave buy-back
options.
However, council members
who oppose the plan pointed
out savings hinge on detectives
leaving, and theres no guaran-
tee any will go.
Several citizens urged coun-
cil to vote no.
Haas said he came to the
meeting expecting to vote yes
but decided the proposal didnt
provide enough savings. He
said he wrestled with the deci-
sion because the outcome of ar-
bitration is unknown.

WILKES-BARRE Two city tax-
payers association members again
brought up two contentious issues se-
curity systems at officials homes and
public access to spending records.
Frank Sorick, president of the associ-
ation, and Linda Urban, parliamentar-
ian, grilled council on difficulties in get-
ting documents fromthe city and on the
security systems installed in the homes
of Mayor Tom Leighton and former ad-
ministrator J.J. Murphy.
Urban said taxpayers demand full
payment from Leighton and Murphy
for the systems $14,789.05.
The taxpayers of Wilkes-Barre do not
reside in either of (their) homes. There-
fore, we are not liable for the cost of the
purchases, nor do we benefit from said
purchases, Urban said.
She said residents/taxpayers
shouldnt unknowingly be forced to fi-
nance the purchases.
CityAdministrator MarieMcCormick
said the issue was brought up in the past
and an independent investigation by law
enforcement found the purchases were
allowable and legal.
Council members Tony George and
Maureen Lavelle said after the meeting
that they asked about the expenses and
were told the same thing that they
were properly done and allowed by the
city charter.
Sorick expressed frustration over de-
lays heandother taxpayers haveencoun-
tered when trying to get documents
from the city clerks office. Sorick asked
council to explain the citys policy on
credit card usage and the need to submit
receipts.
Council Chairman Mike Merritt said
after the meeting that council always
tries to get answers to public concerns.
Sometimes we have to rely on the ad-
ministration for answers, he said.
Sometimes the answers are immediate-
ly available. But we ask the administra-
tion to get the answers as soon as pos-
sible.
George asked if council obtained bills
andreceipts fromLAGTowing, the citys
towingcontractor. TimHenry, cityattor-
ney, said the request was made, but Leo
A. Glodzik, owner of the company, has
not produced the receipts.
He will comply, Henrysaid. He said
he is compiling themand will turn them
over to the city soon.
One topic that did not come up was
the citys plan to lease its parking assets.
Murray Ufberg, authority solicitor, said
that Desman Associates, a parking con-
sulting firm based in Chicago, has been
retained for $5,000 to prepare the Re-
quest for Qualifications. Ufberg said the
RFQs will goout next week the author-
ity board meets Tuesday at noon.

Maddon Curry said she will be

WASHINGTON Six-term
Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar was
routed by the right flank of his
own Republican Party on Tues-
day night, and North Carolina
voters decided overwhelmingly
to strengthen their states gay
marriage ban a conservative
show of enthusiasm and
strength six months before the
nation chooses between Demo-
cratic President Barack Obama
and GOP foe Mitt Romney.
Romney swept three Republi-
can primaries, moving ever clos-
er to sealing his nomination.
I have no regrets about run-
ning for re-election, even if do-
ing so can be a very daunting
task, the 80-year-old Lugar said
as he conceded to the tea party-
backed GOP opponent who end-
ed his nearly four-decade career
in the Senate. Lugars foe, state
Treasurer Richard Mourdock,
had painted the Republican sen-
ator as too moderate for the con-
servative state.
North Carolinians voted to
amend their state constitution
to define marriage as between
one man and one woman, effec-
tively outlawing gay unions.
Also Tuesday, Democrats
were picking a nominee to chal-
lenge Republican Wisconsin
Gov. Scott Walker in a June re-
call election.
The contests overshadowed
Romneys continued progress
toward the GOP presidential
nomination. He won the GOP
presidential primaries in Indi-
ana, North Carolina and West
Virginia, drawing close to the
1,144 delegates he needs to
clinch the nomination. He was
likely to win 100 or so delegates
of the 288 he still needed.
Even Romney, the former
Massachusetts governor, was es-
sentially ignoring the primaries.
He spent the day campaigning in
Michigan, where he castigated
Obama as an old-school liberal
whose policies would take the
country backward.
The outcomes of Tuesdays
far-flung voting gave clues about
the state of the electorate and
highlighted the political mine-
fields facing both Republican
and Democratic candidates
with the presidential contest
well under way.
In the biggest race of the
night, Lugar lost to state Trea-
surer Mourdock, who will face
Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly
in the November general elec-
tion.

Zimmerman gets more time
G
eorge Zimmerman has waived his
right to a speedy trial, arguing to a
Florida court Tuesday that he needs
more time to prepare. The move means
it could be October at the earliest
and likely much later before the
start of his second-degree murder trial.
Zimmerman turned himself in to
authorities on April 11, charged in the
killing of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed
black teenager who was walking in
Zimmermans neighborhood, and
whom Zimmerman considered to be
suspicious.
Zimmerman, 28, was released from
jail after posting $150,000 bond. He
admits he shot Martin, 17, but claims
he did so in self-defense. He has plead-
ed not guilty in court documents, mak-
ing his appearance unnecessary at a
Tuesday arraignment hearing.
WASHINGTON
Report: Schools key to fat
Fighting obesity will require changes
everywhere Americans live, work, play
and learn, says a major new report that
outlines dozens of options from
building more walkable neighborhoods
to zoning limits on fast-food restau-
rants to selling healthier snacks in
sports arenas.
But schools should be a national
focus because thats where children
spend most of their day, eat a lot of
their daily calories and should be
better taught how to eat healthy and
stay fit, the influential Institute of
Medicine said Tuesday.
Among the most controversial of the
recommendations: Communities could
consider a tax on sugary sodas and
offering price breaks for healthier bev-
erage choices.
That prompted outrage from the
American Beverage Association.
The new report offers a roadmap of
the most promising strategies to fight
obesity and argues that the solu-
tions cant be implemented piecemeal.

Annan warns of civil war
International envoy Kofi Annan gave
a bleak assessment of the crisis in Syria
on Tuesday, saying violence remains at
unacceptable levels and warning that
his peace plan is the countrys last
chance to avert a disastrous civil war.
Annan insisted there is still hope and
said the presence of U.N. observers has
had a calming effect on the crisis, in
which at least 9,000 people have been
killed since March 2011.
There is a profound concern that
the country could otherwise descend
into full civil war and the implications
of that are frightening, Annan told
reporters in Geneva after briefing a
closed-door session of the U.N. Securi-
ty Council in New York by videoconfer-
ence. The observation mission, he said,
is the only remaining chance to stabi-
lize the country.

Anyone with information on the
trailers whereabouts is asked to call

Protesting slave labor in Brazil
Rea Inu Bake, from the Indian tribe
Hunikui, takes part in a protest Tues-
day against slave labor in Brasilia,
Brazil. The nations lower house is

The bill would allow the government
to confiscate all property of those
found to be using slave labor, among
other penalties.
WASHINGTON The CIA had al-
Qaida fooled from the beginning.
Last month, U.S. intelligence learned
that al-Qaidas Yemen branch hoped to
launcha spectacular attack using a new,
nearly undetectable bomb aboard an
airliner boundfor America, officials say.
But the man the terrorists were
counting on to carry out the attack was
actually working for the CIA and Saudi
intelligence, U.S. and Yemeni officials
told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The dramatic sting operation thwart-
ed the attack before it had a chance to
succeed.
It was the latest
misfire for al-Qaida,
which has repeatedly
comeclosetodetonat-
ing a bomb aboard an
airliner. For the Unit-
edState, it was a victo-
ry that delivered the
bomb intact to U.S. intelligence.
The officials spoke to the AP on con-
ditionof anonymity. The cooperationof
the would-be bomber was first reported
Tuesday by The Los Angeles Times.
The FBI is still analyzing the explo-
sive, which was intended to be con-
cealed in a passengers underwear. Offi-
cials said it was an upgrade over the
bomb that failed to detonate on board
an airplane over Detroit on Christmas
2009. This newbombcontainednomet-
al and used a chemical lead azide
that was to be a detonator in a nearly
successful 2010 plot to attack cargo
planes, officials said.
Security procedures at U.S. airports
remained unchanged Tuesday, a reflec-
tionof boththe U.S. confidence inits se-
curity systems and a recognition that
the government cant realistically ex-
pect travelers to endure much more. In-
creased costs and delays to airlines and
shipping companies could have a global
economic impact, too.
John Brennan, President Barack Oba-
mas counterterrorism adviser, said
Tuesday the discovery shows al-Qaida
remains a threat to U.S. security a year
after bin Ladens assassination. And he
attributed the breakthrough to very
close cooperation with our internation-
al partners.
Were continuing to investigate who
might have been associated with the
construction of it as well as plans to car-
ry out an attack, he said. And so were
confident that this device and any indi-
vidual that might have beendesignedto
use it are nolonger a threat tothe Amer-
ican people.

Lawyers for Sanduskys alleged
victims are critical of Amendolas
tactics, withoneaccusinghimof a
despicable act of cowardice.
Thequestionof howmuchinfor-
mation the defense is entitled to
will bethesubject of apretrial hear-
ing today.
Credibility of witnesses and the
reliability of their recall will likely
be pivotal issues in Sanduskys up-
coming criminal trial, with allega-
tions that go back in some cases
well over a decade.
On Monday, prosecutors said
they had misdated by a year one of
theallegedcrimes, anencounter in
which an assistant coach said he
saw Sandusky attack a naked boy
in the shower.
That disclosure prompted law-
yers in a parallel criminal case
that of two Penn State administra-
tors accused of not reporting sus-
pected abuse to say the charge
should be dismissed because the
statute of limitations has expired.
Meanwhile, for Penn State foot-
ball assistant Mike McQueary filed
a notice of a lawsuit basedonwhis-
tleblower protections Tuesday in
Centre County. The filing was first
reported by the Centre Daily
Times.

WASHINGTON The po-
litical battle over President
Barack Obamas plan to keep
student loan interest rates
from skyrocketing escalated
as Senate Republicans
blocked a Democratic pro-
posal to tax wealthier earners
to pay for it.
Republicans stopped the
effort with a filibuster, even
as some in the GOP view this
as a politically risky move at a
time when middle-class fam-
ilies continue to struggle to
afford college. Rates for 7 mil-
lion new undergraduate stu-
dent loans are set to double to
6.8 percent on July 1 if Con-
gress fails to act.
The vote was 52-45, failing
to reach the 60-vote thresh-
old needed to overcome the
GOP filibuster. All Republi-
cans voting opposed the ef-
fort, except Sen. Olympia
Snowe of Maine, who voted
present. Democrats voted to
advance the proposal.
Sen. Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky, the Republican
leader, said the standoff
could be resolved easily if
Obama would negotiate an al-
ternative plan. Republicans
back a House-passed propos-
al that would gut a public
health and prevention fund in
Obamas health care law to
pay the costs of keeping gov-
ernment-backed student loan
rates low a non-starter for
Senate Democrats.
Democrats have tapped the
public health fund in the past
but oppose the GOP plan to
eliminate it entirely to pay
the $6 billion costs of extend-
ing lowloan rates for another
year.
The GOP proposal was on-
ly narrowly approved in the
House as dozens of Republi-
cans voted against it, many
because they do not believe
the federal government
should be in the loan busi-
ness.
GOP blocks proposal to keep student loan rates low

NEWYORKMaurice Sendak didnt
think of himself as a childrens author,
but as anauthor who toldthe truthabout
childhood.
I like interesting people and kids are
really interesting people, he explained
to The Associated Press last fall. And if
you didnt paint them in little blue, pink
and yellow, its even more interesting.
Sendak, who died early Tuesday in
Danbury, Conn., at age 83, four days after
suffering a stroke, revolutionized chil-
drens books and how we think about
childhood simply by leaving in what so
many writers before had excluded. Dick
and Jane were no match for his naughty
Max. Monstrous creatures were devised
from his studio, but no more frightening
than the grownups in his stories or the
cloud of the Holocaust that darkened his
every page.
Fromtheir earliest years children live
on familiar terms with disrupting emo-
tions fear and anxiety are an intrinsic
part of their everyday lives, they contin-
ually cope with frustrations as best they
can, he said upon receiving the Calde-
cott Medal in 1964 for Where the Wild
Things Are, his signature book. And it
is through fantasy that children achieve
catharsis. It is the best means they have
for taming wild things.
He received the Hans Christian Ander-
son award in 1970 and a Laura Ingalls
Wilder medal in1983. President Bill Clin-
ton awarded Sendak a National Medal of
the Arts in 1996 and in 2009 President
Obama read Where the Wild Things
Are for the Easter Egg Roll.
Communities attempted to ban him,
but his books sold millions of copies and
his most curmudgeonly persona became
as much a part of his legend as Where
the Wild Things Are, a hit movie in
2009. His stories were less about the kids
he knew never had them, he was hap-
py to say than the kid he used to be.
The son of Polish immigrants, he was
born in1928 in a Jewish neighborhood in
Brooklyn. He was an outsider at birth, as
Christians nearby would remind him,
throwingdirt androcks as he left Hebrew
school. The kidnapping and murder of
Charles Lindberghs baby son terrified
him for years.

HARRISBURG Pennsyl-
vanias state-supported univer-
sities, struggling public
schools, equine industry, hos-
pitals, nursing homes and peo-
ple who depend on county-run
social services all would bene-
fit from a state Senate Repub-
lican budget plan that divvies
up about $900 million in newly
anticipated tax revenue.
The $27.7 billion spending
proposal, which would avoid
many of the cuts proposed by
Gov. Tom Corbett, won unani-
mous approval from the Sen-
ate Appropriations Committee
on Tuesday, the first such bi-
partisan vote in recent memo-
ry. It was scheduled for a vote
today by the full Senate.
Meanwhile, lawmakers say
theyve secured commitments
from the presidents of 18 state-
supported universities, includ-
ing Penn State, Temple and
Pitt, to keep 2012-13 tuition in-
creases at or below the rate of
inflation if lawmakers wipe
out Corbetts proposal to cut
20 percent $230 million
combined from their annual
share of taxpayer aid.
Overall, the Senates propos-
al for the 2012-13 fiscal year is
almost 2 percent above the
$27.2 billion in Corbetts Feb-
ruary proposal, as well as the
amount approved for spending
this year. Still, with federal
stimulus money expired and
the state still recovering from
recession, it would spend less
than the three previous fiscal
years.
It would maintain Corbetts
proposal to provide a $275 mil-
lion business tax cut, elimi-
nate a $150 million temporary
cash assistance program for
poor adults and leave intact
the lions share of cuts in pub-
lic school aid that Republicans
approved in the current bud-
get.
Democrats, who tried un-
successfully in the Appropri-
ations Committee to insert an-
other nearly $250 million to
undo cuts to child care, social
services and the cash assist-
ance program, nevertheless
voted for the bill.
Theres still significant
numbers of people who still
need the state to help them
and were still going to advo-
cate for them, said Philadel-
phia Sen. Vincent Hughes, the
committees ranking Demo-
crat. Clearly, theres a whole
category of folks who are suf-
fering in the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania because of their
issues, because of the reces-
sion were having, and weve
got to figure out how to re-
spond to it.
The Corbett administration,
which issued a much more
conservative proposal in Feb-
ruary, was cool to the Senates
proposal, suggesting that it
would set a reckless spending
course given the expected
growth of costs for public em-
ployee pensions, debt pay-
ments and other mandated ex-
penses.
The bill also will need ap-
proval from the Republican-
controlled House of Represen-
tatives, where lawmakers are
just beginning to scrutinize
the Senates product. A
spokesman for the House Re-
publican leadership said they
shared the same priorities of
first restoring money to educa-
tion and social services.
With Democrats outvoted in
both chambers, the end ap-
pears near for the cash assist-
ance program, which advo-
cates say is the sole income
source for 68,000 people strug-
gling to get back on their feet
from disability, domestic vio-
lence or addiction.
Eliminating General Assist-
ance will immediately in-
crease homelessness and the
need for other, more costly ser-
vices, warned Michael Froeh-
lich, a staff lawyer for Commu-
nity Legal Services in Philadel-
phia.
Joan L. Benso, president and
CEO of the Harrisburg-based
Pennsylvania Partnerships for
Children, said the Senates
budget bill makes some impor-
tant improvement in aid for
early childhood education, but
she also pointed out that mil-
lions of dollars in cuts senators
are proposing would gut a pro-
gram that helps child-care op-
erators provide high-quality
education programs.
The Republican bill would
restore $84 million for county-
run human services leaving
intact a 10 percent cut of $84
million and it would restore
$100 million for public
schools, half of it for a block
grant program that aids full-
day kindergarten and half for a
yet-to-be-determined group of
distressed public schools.
Tens of millions would go to
undo proposed cuts by Corbett
to hospitals and nursing
homes for the cost of caring for
Medicaid enrollees, although
hospitals and nursing homes
would still have to absorb a 2
percent cut in Medicaid reim-
bursements.
But Ivonne Bucher, Pennsyl-
vania state director of the
AARP, complained that the
Senate hadnt added any mon-
ey to help seniors get the kind
of long-term care that would
help them stay in their homes
or community homes at a low-
er price than it costs to move
into a nursing home.
The Senates budget plan al-
so would scuttle a plan by Cor-
bett to transfer $72 million to
other programs including
agricultural fairs and the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvanias veter-
inary school from a pot of
casino gambling money that is
divvied up by the horse racing
industry, and it would undo
Corbetts attempt to cap the
amount of sales-tax money
that retailers are allowed to
keep if they turn over the reve-
nue to the state on time.

HARRISBURG A Pennsyl-
vania House panel stamped its
approval Tuesday on proposed
mandatory prison terms for fe-
lons who possess firearms, while
an annual gun-rights rally at the
Capitol drew a smaller-than-usu-
al crowd.
The House Judiciary Commit-
tee voted 21-3 to send to the
House floor a bill to set a mini-
mumfive-year prison termfor fe-
lons caught possessing firearms
andtoimpose minimums of upto
25 years for repeat violent offend-
ers under the states three
strikes law. Thereis currentlyno
mandatory minimum sentence.
The bills sponsor, Republican
Rep. Todd Stephens, shrugged
off one panelists concerns about
minimum sentences exacerbat-
ing the problem of prison crowd-
ing. He said the people covered
by the bill are repeat offenders.
These are the guys that we build
prisons for, said Stephens.
Stephens admitted some of-
fenders could avoid the mini-
mum sentence through plea bar-
gains if they cooperate with pros-
ecutors, but said the threat alone
is extra leverage for prosecutors.
The legislation is supported by
the gun-violence prevention
groupCeaseFirePA, whichcalls it
a step in the right direction, as
well as Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, one
of the Legislatures most outspo-
ken gun-rights advocates.
If a criminal uses a gun, they
ought to have the hammer of jus-
tice brought down on their head
pretty severely, said Metcalfe, R-
Butler, who helped organize
Tuesdays Capitol rally.
Only about 150 people attend-
ed the relatively low-key event.
They applauded lawmakers who
took turns criticizing the states
instant-checksystemfor prospec-
tive gun buyers and other re-
quirements they viewas obstruc-
tions to their Second Amend-
ment right to bear arms.

WEST PITTSTON Accus-
tomed to helping others, the Sal-
vation Army on Luzerne Avenue
found itself in need in Septem-
ber after 8 feet of Susquehanna
River water ruined cartons of
food, clothing and Christmas
toys purchased for children in
need.
With its mission of helping in-
dividuals and families for the ho-
liday season jeopardized, Maj.
Sheryl Hershey said two of her
most loyal supporters once again
offered help.
Michael and Sandy Insalaco,
brothers who made their marks
in the business world, donated
space in a building on Main
Street in Pittston for the Salva-
tion Army to use.
They are always there when
we need them, Hershey said of
the Insalaco brothers. Because
of them, we were able to get
ready for the holidays and ser-
vice our families.
The Salvation Army will hon-
or Michael andSandyInsalacoat
a dinner Thursday 100 Years
of Doing the Most Good at St.
Anthony Church, 28 Memorial
St., Exeter. Hershey said the
brothers were chosen for the
award for all their work within
the community as well as their
work with The Salvation Army.
Michael Insalaco is the Advi-
sory Council chair and is con-
stantly doing and providing all
he can to The Salvation Army
and the programs we offer, Her-
sheysaid. SandyInsalacoalsois
constantly providing and doing
all he can for The Salvation Ar-
my. He has given of his time by
arranging for a number of dona-
tions for The Salvation Army,
like the use of the building dur-
ing the flood of 2011.
Hershey said the recognition
is well-deserved. We are very
honoredtohave themas a part of
our family and very honored to
be able to present themwith the
Community Service Award, she
said.
The SalvationArmy openedin
Pittston on Feb. 29, 1912. It
moved to its current West Pitt-
ston location in 1949.
Hershey said more than 3,500
individuals, 825 families and
3,500 children are being served
at the West Pittston location.
She said the number of people in
need grows each year.
We lost everything in Sep-
tember, Hershey said. Luckily
the Salvation Army has good in-
surance. But we needed help fast
andMichael andSandy provided
us space to assure our families
were taken care of for the holi-
days. We had to buy food, cloth-
ing and toys all the childrens
toys that we had just purchased
were ruined.
The dinner is one of several
events planned through the
weekend to celebrate the found-
ing of a Pittston area Salvation
Army office 100 years ago.

CELEBRATING
A CENTURY

HANOVER TWP. A man ac-
cused of driving a stolen all-terrain
vehicle with an exotic animal in
March waived his right to a pre-
liminary hearing before District
Judge Joseph Halesey on Tuesday.
Jeffrey Arnott Jr., 24, of Preston
Street, Ashley, waived charges of
receiving stolen property and
flight to avoid apprehension to
Luzerne County Court.
Ashley police withdrew three
counts of disorderly conduct, two
counts of resisting arrest and one
count each of harassment and
public drunkenness against Arnott
Jr.
Police allege Arnott was driving
a stolen ATV with a Java Macaque
monkey named Tyler on the back
in the Careys Patch section of the
borough on March 19. Arnott
abandoned the ATV and ran into
woods near the Huber Breaker.
The monkey ran off in another
direction and was captured by its
owner, Jeffrey Arnott Sr.
Arnott Sr. was cited by the
Pennsylvania Game Commission
with possessing an exotic animal
without a permit. A summary trial
is scheduled on May 22.
The monkey was taken to an
animal sanctuary in Snyder Coun-
ty.

being crushed when they open
the door to drugs.
Freshman Jake Bevan, presi-
dent of the Interact Club, said he
felt Shannons message will help
students make good decisions if
they are pressured by peers at the
prom and other celebrations.
We also learned about incar-
ceration, and it teaches us what
thats like, said Interact Club
Vice President Tyler Fisher, a
freshman. I dont want to be in
prison.
Students listened as Shannon
told them about her troubled
teen years, when she smoked
marijuana at a concert with a
friends mom. Acid and Ecstasy
were next.
When I was 17 years old, I
went with friends to Philly and I
was introducedtocrackcocaine,
she said.
I lost my car, my home, (ev-
erything) within two months. I
graduated high school, but I
dont know how, she said. It got
so bad, she said, that at one point
she was snorting cocaine off a
textbookat the backof the school
bus.
Shannon joined the U.S. Army,
completed basic training and
worked as a combat medic in a
hospital. After two years in the
Army, she returned home to the
WyomingValley, where she met a
man, had a job and owned a car.
Then the dream of a good life
started to turn into a nightmare:
I started doing cocaine, she
said.
A short time later, Shannon
said, she became addicted to the
way Vicodin, Percocet and Xanax
made her feel. She started snort-
ing heroin and got violently sick
when she didnt have any.
I didnt care. I couldnt stop,
Shannon said.
Feeling trapped, hopeless and
powerless, she resorted to taking
blank checks from her mother to
get money to support her habit.
That landed her in jail on forgery
charges.
She violated the terms of her
work release by not returning to
the county prison, resulting in a
two-year prison term in 2010.
She has spent the past three
months in prison on other charg-
es, andhopes to be releasedinJu-
ly.
I know Im going to stay
clean, Shannon told the stu-
dents. I found one thing that is
going to help keep me clean
God.
She has been clean since Janu-
ary, is on work release and hopes
toreturnas a productive member
of society.

more thanone childinthe custody

Silverstone acknowledges he

The county had received four
proposals for an audit, ranging in
price from $22,000 to $46,500. It
decidedtoholdoff pendingreceipt

Griffith stressed that, even
though the audit showed Stevens
does not owe any money, it does
not mean she is being left off the
hook for the overbillings because
she has already repaid the money
throughtheoffsetsshesentitledto

ahead, he said, because Stevens is

If were going to reduce the more
than 50,000 new HIV infections in
this country each year, we need to
increase the available options for
people.
Ronald Johnson
The vice president of AIDS United, an advocacy organization striving to
end the AIDS epidemic, spoke in favor of a range of preventive
measures, including the possibility of a daily pill such as Truvada for
healthy people. The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday will
discuss whether the medication will become the first drug approved to
prevent HIV infection in high-risk individuals.
Take the time this week
to thank nurses, staff
T
wo national observances are being held
this week to recognize the important
contributions of health care profession-
als to the health and well-being of patients:
National Nurses Week and National Hospi-
tal Week.
National Nurses Week is celebrated
annually in honor of Florence Nightingale,
founder of nursing as a modern profession,
and the millions of people who have fol-
lowed in her footsteps. Strength, commit-
ment and compassion are hallmarks of the
national theme for Nurses Week in 2012
Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring
focusing on nurses dedication to saving
lives and maintaining the health of mil-
lions of people across the United States.
Nurses make the commitment every day to
building an even more meaningful nursing
profession, addressing the complexities of
patient care, reshaping the work envi-
ronment and influencing broader health
policies to benefit patients.
Nurses: Advocating, Leading, Caring
is exemplified by Geisinger nurses
throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Geisinger nurses provide extraordinary
care to thousands of patients each day
whether its the nurse who devotes time
and energy teaching others to live health-
ier lives or the nurse who holds a patients
hand, making sure that compassion and
dignity are an integral part of the medical
treatment of every patient.
National Hospital Week provides an
opportunity to commemorate the impor-
tance of the men and women who work in
our hospitals. Making Miracles Happen
is the theme of this years celebration,
calling attention to the many facets of the
professional and the compassionate care
our employees provide to our patients and
their families and loved ones.
People in this region can enjoy the ad-
vantage of having Geisinger in their com-
munity, where extraordinary medical pro-
fessionals and world-class facilities deliver
healing treatment and compassionate care
around the clock.
As we celebrate National Nurses Week
and National Hospital Week, Geisinger
salutes our nurses and hospital staff mem-
bers for their talents, professional accom-
plishments and dedication to your health
and peace of mind.
Please take time to thank a nurse and a
hospital employee for their wonderful
work.

Couple believes hospital
unnecessarily treated pet
B
e careful where you have your pet
cared for. We took our pet, Maggi, to
an animal hospital in November, know-
ing she had a disk problem. This problem
turned into an unnecessary back oper-
ation.
This hospital seemingly is all about
money. For $4,000, we received a box of
ashes.
There will be much more on this sub-
ject. This only scratches the surface.

SEND US YOUR OPINION

EVERY TIME I watch the
news, read a newspaper or
magazine, or listen to the
conversations at the local
diner, I find there is an eth-
ical, controversial or legal
issue generating interest. So,
why is there so much to talk about that is
controversial, unethical or illegal? Wouldnt it
just make sense to do the right thing all the
time?
Sure it would, but who decides what the
right thing is?
Thats the beauty of ethics. They are adapt-
able to the individual or the culture. What
might be ethical to you might not be ethical
to me. It depends on an endless list of varia-
bles that make us unique. Still, there are a
couple characteristics that most of us share.
As humans we have a desire to be success-
ful and to be liked by others. This makes us
vulnerable to giving in to personal gain,
whether its financial or some other form of
reward, and to making decisions based on
what would make us more popular with those
about whom we care.
Well, there is a very simple process to go
through when making a decision that you
always can defend as being ethical. When
faced with a decision ask yourself the follow-
ing questions:
Is there an ethical decision to be made? If
yes, then
Are there any laws, rules or policies that
apply? If so, apply them.
What are my options? Consider the
possible consequences very carefully.
Which option is best? This often can be
determined by asking yourself who will be
affected by your choice. How many will be
affected by your decision? Which option
results in the greatest good or causes the
least harm?
Then reflect on your decision by asking
yourself these five questions:
1. Does it pass the legal test is it against
the law? If its illegal, dont do it!
2. How do I physically feel this is gut
check time. Are you having a physical reac-
tion to your decision that is telling you some-
thing doesnt feel right? If you are, then you
should revisit your decision.
3. How would I feel if my decision were on
the front page of the newspaper? Would I be
embarrassed or feel shame, or would I be
proud and feel confidence in my actions?
4. Would I be able to tell my mom about
my decision? Would I be able to tell those I
respect about my decision? If not, you should
reconsider.
5. Am I upholding the standards I set for
myself? Consider the type of person you want
to be and maintain that standard.
Sounds simple enough, but there are times
when doing the right thing can be the most
difficult decision to make because other fac-
tors come into play.
When this happens you need to remember
that making an ethical decision is not about
emotions, assumptions or popularity. It is not
based on what is easiest or the most popular.
And ethical decisions are not based on one-
sided knowledge.
There are times when family, friends and
coworkers talk to me about the events of the
day, and I often ask questions. I do this in
order to gain a better understanding of the
situation and to help them consider another
perspective. However, this can sometimes be
perceived as though I am taking the other
side. Im not; I simply believe if we truly want
to help ourselves and others, we need to
know as much as possible.
If you follow my suggestions, you might
not be the most popular person all the time,
but you should feel good about your deci-
sions. Eventually others will think of you as
someone who is thoughtful and fair, and
likely to do the right thing.
The more you engage in the practices
suggested above, the more natural and easier
it becomes to make an ethical decision. Soon
you wont even have to think about the ques-
tions to ask yourself because it will be an
automatic process that you wont even be
aware is happening. Just remember that first
you need to practice, practice, practice.

OLITICAL upheaval in
Europe reached a new
apex over the weekend
when French voters
threwout their incumbent presi-
dent and Greeks gave the heave-
ho to the ruling parliamentary
coalition.
Theresults suggest that anew
consensus is emerging in Eu-
rope in favor of more economic
stimulus, but they also call into
question the continents ability
to agree on a plan to keep its fis-
cal problems fromspreading un-
controllably.
European leaders had agreed
to a series of pacts that would
rescue Greece andother default-
ing countries in exchange for
steepreductions intheir redink,
while also requiring every coun-
try that relies on the euro to
shrink their debts and curb def-
icit spending. Overtheweekend,
however, voters in Greece gave
such large minorities in parlia-
ment to candidates from far-
right and far-left parties who op-
posed the required spending
cutsthat therulingcoalitioncan-
not continue to govern. And
FrenchvotersdumpedPresident
Nicolas Sarkozy, whod been a
key negotiator in the European
rescue plans, infavor of Francois
Hollande of the Socialist Party,
whodeclaredthat austerity can
no longer be the only option.
It might beagoodideatomiti-
gate harsh spending cuts with
stronger economic growth;
weve long argued that faster
growth is crucial to solving the
U.S. budget problems. But Eu-
rope cant afford to raise doubts
about its determination to solve
its fiscal problems.

You are not invincible and

workforces.
The economy softening plus
efficiency gains are driving that
number, he said.
Cannella said technology has
allowed manufacturers to do
more with less, so while jobs are
down, the number of local manu-
facturers is actually on the rise.
Its the smaller ones, Cannel-
la noted. Well see maybe theyre
not looking to set up huge oper-
ations; instead, theyre looking to
do smaller, niche manufactur-
ing.
JimCummings, who workedat
Penns Northeast before taking a
position at Mericle Commercial
Real Estate, said manufacturing
ruled the local employment land-
scape a decade ago, and he
doesnt think its fallen from its
perch, even though manufactur-
ing jobs have left the area at a
higher rate than most of the na-
tions large metro regions.
At nearly 28,000, the number
of local manufacturing jobs ranks
68th nationally, but that total is a
39 percent drop from a decade
ago. That decrease is greater
than the national average drop of
33.2 percent. Over the past two
years, the decline is 4.9 percent,
one of the steepest losses in the
top 100 markets, ranking the re-
gion 96th. The national average
is a loss of just 2.7percent of man-
ufacturing jobs over that same
time span.
Nothing in the Brookings Re-
port about Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre surprised me, Cummings
said. (It) looks like manufactur-
ing, though gradually declining
here over the years, still has a
greater than average impact,
compared to the nation as a
whole, on our local economy.
He said about one-third of in-
quiries Mericle receives from
companies looking for a location
inNortheasternPennsylvania are
in the manufacturing industry.
Location matters
Cannella and Cummings said
the words often used in real es-
tate come into play in this case,
too.
My guess is our access to sup-
pliers and customers, strong util-
ities, rail availability, competitive
operating costs, and availability
of a labor force with manufactur-
ing skills are the primary reasons
manufacturing continues to sur-
vive here, Cummings said.
Withfiveinterstates crisscross-
ing the region, industrial and
business parks dotting the land-
scape in Jenkins, Pittston, Hazle
and Hanover townships and
Mountain Top in Luzerne Coun-
ty, plus a dozen more throughout
neighboringcounties, Northeast-
ern Pennsylvania has established
trade parks, an available work-
force and all important access to
the population centers of the
Northeastern United States plus
the South, Midwest and West,
thanks to the interstates.
You cant beat the 80/81corri-
dor, Niziolek said.
The report indicates why man-
ufacturers seem to prefer metro
areas.
The fact that U.S. manufactur-
ing is largely located in metro ar-
eas reflects the significant advan-
tages of density, the report
states. Firms are clustered with
other companies in the same or
related industries, making shar-
ing of ideas easier; employers
have access to a broad pool of
skilled workers with needed
skills; there is better access to
suppliers and customers; and
there is easier access to educa-
tional, financial, legal, manage-
ment, and consulting services.
Larry Newman, the vice presi-
dent of Planning, Policy, and De-
velopment for the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Growth Partner-
ship, said the report did not open
his eyes to anything he didnt
know, but it serves as a reminder
of the importance of manufactur-
ing to a region.
He said one thing the region
does that has both positives and
negatives is that its diversified
not only its overall employment
mix, but also the manufacturer
products, too.
According to the report, the
top three manufacturing indus-
tries locally are: fabricated met-
als, with15.6 percent of all manu-
facturing jobs; food, with 13.4
percent; and plastics and rubber
at 12.3 percent.
None of those is huge enough
to connect our region to any one
industry, Newman said. But if
one sector were to see an eco-
nomic downturn, the regions
economy wouldnt collapse be-
cause of the diversity.
JOBS
Manufacturing jobs are a big-
ger part of the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton area economy than in
most regions, but the wages paid
here substantially lagnational av-
erages.
According to data published
today in a report by the Brook-
ings Institution Metropolitan
Policy Program, the local average
manufacturing salary of $44,958
ranks 96th among the nations
100 largest metropolitan areas.
The gap is comparable to that for
wages in all jobs. At $36,709, the
average local wage also ranks
96th.
But those pay rates must be
squared with the kinds of work
available.
The report states Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre scores poorly in
terms of raw wages but fares bet-
ter when rankings are adjusted
for industry composition, indi-
catingthat these metropolitanar-
eas are home to low-wage indus-
tries but pay at least average wag-
es for those industries.
Larry Newman, the vice presi-
dent of Planning, Policy and De-
velopment for the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Growth Partner-
ship, said the wage deficit comes
down to the type of manufactur-
ing done locally.
The percentage of manufactur-
ing jobs in this region classified
as either very hightechor moder-
ately hightech, withtheir accom-
panying high pay, ranks 66th and
93rd respectively, according to
the Brookings report.
Newman said a deeper look at
why those high-tech jobs arent
here circles back to our ongoing
issue withloweducational attain-
ment levels. Without a high
number of college graduates or at
least those with training in tech-
nically skilled fields, companies
wont locate here, he said.
Instead, the region makes due
with a large number of manufac-
turers that deal with lower-value
products.
We like to punch and twist
metal, Newman said with a
laugh.
And make food. According to
Brookings 13.4 percent of manu-
facturingjobs inthe market are in
the food industry.
But those employers are not
high-wage payers like the auto-
mobile, airplane or computer in-
dustries.
We have industries that gener-
ally pay low wages, Newman
said, noting that wages here are
on par with national averages
when the types of manufacturers
are taken into account.

appropriate clearances.
Asked if the diocese was taking any
action with students, Genello said an
announcement was read to all stu-
dents Tuesday to ensure they were
aware of the situation and to let them
know that they could contact school
officials if they felt a need to talk.
School officials also met withthe
football team to offer support and the
opportunity to talk about the situation
and to assure the team the program
will continue, Genello said.
A meeting of the football team par-
ent club had been scheduled for Tues-
day evening before the arrest, but Ge-
nello said the club canceled it.
He did not knowwhere else Ostrow-
ski may have worked. Red Rock Job
Corps Director Kelly King confirmed
Ostrowski had worked at the center
until about a year ago, but he would
not say what his job or title was. The
JobCorps are federal facilities that pro-
vide career technical and academic
training at no cost to low-income peo-
ple ages 16 through 24.
Ostrowski had previously coached
at GAR High School in Wilkes-Barre
and Lake-Lehman High School in Leh-
man Township. Lake-Lehman athletic
director Tom Rokita said Ostrowski
was with the football program about
five years ago, and left after less then a
year to take the GAR post.
I was shocked when I read this in
the paper, Rokita said. When he was
applying for the Holy Redeemer job he
called me and asked for a reference,
and I had no reason to believe he
wasnt a good asset at the time.
GAR Athletic Director Simon Peter
said Ostrowski joined the coaching
staff around 2007 and worked there
four years with no problems. His ten-
ure here was what I would refer to as
plain vanilla.
I was very much surprised at the
arrest, Peter said.
Rokita and Peter said Ostrowski had
been cleared through state-mandated
checks before being hired.
Wilkes-Barre Area Meyers Athletic
Director Michael Namey coached Os-
trowski when he was on the Mohawk
football team. Namey said there were
no problems or incidents with Ostrow-
ski back then.
He was just your average high
school student, Namey said. Joe was
on the offensive line, he was a very
good high school football player.
Outside Holy Redeemer on Tuesday
afternoon, a student who said he was a
freshman on the team last fall said Os-
trowski had never had done anything
questionable and that he liked the
coach, adding that he was surprised at
the arrest.
School administrators and teachers
were quick to ask media to leave when
students were approached.

And then she delivered
some cautionary advice to
legislators: Do not meddle
with Medicaid! Remember,
your parents may be resi-
dents someday, and so might
you, Smith said, her words
eliciting laughter and ap-
plause.
Yudichak said he admired
Smiths energy and passion,
and they had a good chat
about the budget that passed
out of the Senate Appropri-
ations Committee earlier
Tuesday with half the fund-
ing for nursing homes re-
stored.
Yudichaksaidhebelieves it
was the efforts of Smith and
countless others who advo-
cated for restoration of fund-
ing to Medicaid as well as so-
cial services and education
that convinced legislators to
make a bipartisan effort to re-
store $500 million to the bud-
get. He expects the amended
budget to come to a vote on
the Senate floor today.
Louise Bekisz, administra-
tor at Guardian Elder Care in
Nanticoke, said she and three
other employees visited state
Rep. Gerry Mullery, D-New-
port Township, to advocate
for funding restoration, and
he agreed to vote against any
cuts just as he did last year.
Its really hard to provide
the type of care we want to
the residents. The facility is
their home, and its hard to
make it feel like their home
when we dont have the re-
sources, she said.
Michael Wylie, vice presi-
dent of development for Gen-
funding for nursing homes.
Such a cut would be devas-
tating to nursing homes, ad-
vocates say, and caregivers
from across Pennsylvania
converged on the Capitol
building on Tuesday to visit
with legislators and make
their case to restore the ap-
proximately $102 million
funding reduction.
Smith, a volunteer at Gold-
en Living Center Summit,
in Wilkes-Barre, and others
from the center, met with
state Sen. John Yudichak, D-
Plymouth Township, in his
Capitol building office and
then headed to the rotunda
for a rally.
Smithexplainedtothoseat
the rally that she has been a
volunteer at Summit since
not long after her daughter
Marie Elena Smith, who had
been a patient there, died in
2006.
She had always been im-
pressed with the level of care
her daughter received, and
she got to know the staff and
other residents when she vis-
ited her daughter there every
day. She was glad she heeded
a suggestion to volunteer
there that came fromher oth-
er daughter, Barbara Dei-
trick, who accompanied
Smith on Tuesday.
The staff and residents
have become like a second
family to me. I came down to
Harrisburg today because I
hear they want to cut Medi-
caid. They cannot cut Medi-
caid. We need it so badly
here, Smith said.
She said Medicaid pays for
staff and activities, neither of
which should be reduced.
The nurses already are so
esis HealthCare, which owns
River Street Manor and Riv-
erviewRidge in Wilkes-Barre
among other facilities, said
advocates will continue push-
ing for full restoration of
fundingandhavesuggestions
for legislators on how to ac-
complish it.
Dr. Stuart Shapiro, presi-
dent and chief executive offi-
cer of the Pennsylvania
Health Care Association,
host of the rally, said the fed-
eral government stripped
$846 million from Medicare
in the last year, and state cuts
will put nursing facilities at
substantial risk because the
state already under-reim-
burses them by nearly $20
per day per resident.
Shapiro said that as of 4:30
p.m. Monday, 12,137 people
had signed a petition asking
state legislators to restore
Medicaid funding. A copy
was distributed to each legis-
lator on Tuesday.
Joe Barrick, administrator
at Manor Care in Camp Hill,
said funding cuts make it
more difficult to maintain
competent, dedicated staff.
Because of recent cuts to
his facility, merit raises were
delayed, employee contribu-
tions to health insurance pre-
miums increased, an assist-
ant business administrator
was not replaced and two li-
censed practical nurse posi-
tions were eliminated, Bar-
rick said.
The $130,000 reductionhis
facility would see with Cor-
betts budget proposal would
amount to the cost of 2.5 full-
time LPNs, he said.
Wecertainlywant toavoid
getting to the point where we
havetotell patients whoneed
care but whose care is going
to be funded by Medical As-
sistance, Were sorry, we just
cant afford to admit you,

DALLAS TWP. Drilling
mud broke through the ground
near Leonard Creek during
drilling for Chief Gathering
LLCs new Wyoming County
pipeline last week, according to
the company and the state De-
partment of Environmental Pro-
tection.
Chief spokeswoman Kristie
Gittins said the company took
action on Friday to contain and
remove the drilling mud seep-
ing fromthe ground, and the on-
ly substance released was dirt
and water nothing else, no
chemicals, no additives.
DEP was notified immediate-
ly, she added.
DEP, meanwhile, said the
agency is conducting a follow-
up investigation, and neighbors
and township officials are
watching the situation closely.
Gittins said the incident oc-
curred while a drilling subcon-
tractor was drilling horizontally
near the Kunkle Fire Station in
the Kunkle section of Dallas
Township. The company is pre-
paring to run pipe beneath the
creek and a nearby wetland as
part of its Wyoming County
Pipeline project, that will con-
nect to the Transco Interstate
Pipeline in Dallas Township.
Water and mud pumped
through the drill bit, which nor-
mally carries drill cuttings back
out through the well head, burst
through the ground during drill-
ing, Gittins said.
DEP was notified about the
incident, but Chief is handling
the containment and cleanup,
she added, using hay bales to
contain the mud and vacuum
trucks to suck it up and away.
When the breakout occurred
we called DEP, they came out
immediately, and they inspect-
ed the process for our contain-
ment and cleanup, Gittins said,
adding the mud was contained
very quickly and DEP approved
the companys remediation
method.
Gittins said mud breakouts
are not uncommon during drill-
ing for any sort of pipeline, not
only oil and gas lines, and said
the company has procedures in
place to deal with them when
they occur.
They are something that we
are always anticipating as part
of our plan, Gittins said. Any-
time youre drilling under a
stream you can have naturally
occurring mud breakouts.
DEP spokeswoman Colleen
Connolly said the department is
investigating the incident to de-
termine what was released and
whether any environmental reg-
ulations were violated.
Connolly said the environ-
mental impact of the incident
would likely be minimal if only
mud was spilled theres mud
at the bottomof creeks, she ob-
served but that part of DEPs
follow-up investigation will in-
volve determining whether any
additives were used in drilling.
It all depends on whats in
this mud, she said. We dont
know. That will be determined
through our investigation and
on-site inspections.
Gittins reiterated no addi-
tives were used.
Chief did not use any other
type process to bore under the
creek that hadnt been used
many times before with other
industries, Gittins said. We do
not use or add in any chemicals
or additives in the mud for the
boring process.
That assurance didnt rest
easy with some area residents
and township officials.
George Turner, a professional
geologist from Tunkhannock
who does pre-drilling ground-
water testing, said he was con-
tracted to investigate the spill
by a concerned nearby resident
and observed the site on Friday
evening.
Turner characterized the inci-
dent as very minor but added
that he understood the con-
cerns of those living nearby.
You have a pipeline coming
in next to your property and all
of a sudden you have vacuum
trucks and all of these people
running down in orange vests,
he said.
Turner said he observed mud
flowing from the ground in two
places, one about 10 feet from
the creek. Workers had sur-
rounded the mud with hay bales
and were using vacuum trucks
to remove it. The operation ap-
peared to be working as de-
signed, Turner said.
He added, though, that could
change with if the rain that fell
all day Tuesday brings the creek
level higher.
If we get a lot of rain and that
creek floods, its going to be un-
der water, then whatevers com-
ing out of that hole is not going
to go in that vacuum truck, its
going to go straight into Bow-
mans Creek, he said, referring
to the larger creek into which
Leonard Creek drains.
Scott Cannon of the Gas Drill-
ing Awareness Coalition, a
group that opposed the con-
struction of Chiefs and other
gas lines in Dallas Township,
said the incident reflects an ac-
ceptable risk associated with
drilling that he does not find ac-
ceptable.
The damage coal mining did
to our region was a lesson
learned, and a lesson forgotten,
Cannon said. I just hope the
rain doesnt wash too much of
this drilling mud into Leonard
Creek, and I hope it wont affect
the local residents water wells.
Liz Martin, a Dallas Township
supervisor, said she is following
the situation closely and has
asked the township engineer to
determine through DEP how
much fluid was lost and a break-
down of the fluids contents.
There are three artesian wells in
the area, she said, including one
belonging to the Kunkle Fire
Company.
My concern is that it would
get into that water and I dont
want people to consume it if
theres anything that shouldnt
be in there, she said.
Martin said DEP replied that
approximately 200 gallons of
fluid had migrated and the ac-
tive ingredient is bentonite, a
kind of clay used in drilling, es-
pecially near wetlands. Connol-
ly could not confirm that report
Tuesday.

M A J O R L E A G U E B A S E B A L L
NEW YORK David Ro-
bertson struck out Carlos Pena
with the bases loaded to end a
rocky ninth inning in his first
save chance since Mariano
Riveras season-ending knee
injury, helping the New York
Yankees end a seven-game skid
against the Tampa Bay Rays
with a 5-3 victory Tuesday
night.
Raul Ibanez homered twice,
Curtis Granderson also con-
nected and the Yankees handed
James Shields (5-1) his first
loss in seven starts this season.
Ivan Nova (4-1) rebounded
nicely after snapping his 15-
game winning streak, pitching
seven sharp innings, the last
three in a steady rain. He gave
up six hits and struck out
eight. His effort comes on the
day New York learned Andy
Pettitte will be activated Sun-
day to make his first start since
retiring after the 2010 season
meaning one pitcher will
lose a spot in the rotation.
The Yankees began the sea-
son with three straight losses
to Tampa Bay in Florida and
last beat the AL East-leading
Rays on Sept. 21. It was their
longest losing streak all-time
against the Rays.
Rafael Soriano moved up to
the eighth-inning spot in the
Yankees reorganized bullpen
and immediately gave up a
triple to Ben Zobrist. Zobrist
scored on a wild pitch to make
it 4-3 but Soriano struck out
the side.
Mark Teixeira had an RBI
double in the eighth to give
Robertson a two-run cushion.
Twins 5, Angels 0
MINNEAPOLIS Scott
Diamond pitched a career-best
seven scoreless innings in his
season debut and Ryan Doumit
hit a two-run homer, lifting
Minnesota over Los Angeles.
Diamond (1-0) struck out
six, the most in any of his eight
major league starts, and al-
lowed only four hits. Hes the
first Twins starter to pitch this
year without allowing a run.
Diamond got 12 groundball
outs, seven to shortstop Brian
Dozier, and walked only one.
Dan Haren (1-3) didnt even
finish the fourth, the shortest
of his seven starts this season
after pitching into the seventh
inning in each of his last four
appearances. He gave up eight
hits and five runs with two
walks over 3 2-3 innings.
Royals 6, Red Sox 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Billy
Butler hit a mammoth three-
run homer in the eighth inning
to lead Kansas City past Bos-
ton.
Chris Getz and Humberto
Quintero also drove in runs for
the Royals, who overcame
another lousy performance by
their starting pitcher to pick up
a confidence-boosting win.
Daniel Bard (2-4) walked
Jarrod Dyson and Alex Gordon
to start the eighth before giv-
ing way to reliever Matt Al-
bers, whose third pitch to But-
ler landed beyond the left-field
wall.
White Sox 5, Indians 3, 10
Innings
CLEVELAND Alex Rios
tripled home the go-ahead run
in the 10th inning to lead Chi-
cago over Cleveland.
Cleveland closer Chris Perez
(0-1) yielded a leadoff single to
Paul Konerko, who was re-
placed by pinch-runner Brent
Lillibridge. After A.J. Pier-
zynski fouled out, Rios lined a
ball over the head of second
baseman Jason Kipnis that
rolled all the way to the wall.
Rios scored on a fielders
choice, beating the throw
home from Kipnis, who fielded
a ground ball hit by Alexei
Ramirez.
A M E R I C A N L E A G U E R O U N D U P
Robertson closes
out Yanks win
PHILADELPHIA Lucas
Duda had a tiebreaking, two-
out RBI single in the seventh
and the New York Mets took
advantage of Philadelphias
defensive blunder.
Duda and David Wright had
two hits and two RBIs each to
help the Mets win their fourth
straight.
Hunter Pence homered for
the Phillies, who have lost four
of five.
The Mets took the lead in
the seventh with four two-out
runs on four hits, including
Dudas single to right off left-
hander Antonio Bastardo (1-2)
that drove in Wright with the
go-ahead run.
Pirates 5, Nationals 4
PITTSBURGH (AP) Rod
Barajas hit a two-run homer off
Washington closer Henry Ro-
driguez with two outs in the
ninth to lift the Pittsburgh
Pirates to a 5-4 victory on
Tuesday night.
The veteran catcher, mired
in a season-long slump, drilled
a shot down the left field line
that sailed a few rows into the
seats for his first home run and
RBIs of the year.
The Nationals went ahead
4-3 after Adam LaRoches two-
run blast in the top of the ninth
off Pittsburgh closer Joel Han-
rahan.
Astros 3, Marlins 2
HOUSTON (AP) Pinch-
hitter Brian Bogusevic hit an
eighth-inning RBI double and
Houston ended Miamis sea-
son-long seven-game winning
streak.
The game was tied at 2-2
when Travis Buck singled with
two outs before Bogusevics hit
off Ryan Webb (1-1) to the
corner of left field, which a
leaping Logan Morrison just
missed, sent Buck home.
The Astros had tied the
game when two errors on one
play by Omar Infante allowed
two runs to score in the sixth
inning.
Infante had a solo homer in
the fourth and Buck added one
in the fifth to give Miami the
2-0 lead, but they managed just
two hits the rest of the way.
Braves 3, Cubs 1
CHICAGO Dan Uggla hit
a tiebreaking two-run single in
the eighth inning and the At-
lanta Braves beat the Chicago
Cubs 3-1 Tuesday night.
Michael Bourn reached on a
leadoff single and Kerry Wood
issued two walks before Uggla
drove a 1-1 pitch back up the
middle for his third hit of the
game. Freddie Freeman helped
set up the big inning by hus-
tling down the line to prevent a
potential double play.
Wood (0-2) has struggled
since he was sidelined for three
weeks with right shoulder
fatigue, yielding two runs in
each of his two outings since
he was activated from the
disabled list on Thursday.
Brewers 8, Reds 3
MILWAUKEE Aramis
Ramirez hit a three-run triple,
helping the Milwaukee Brew-
ers shake off their recent offen-
sive struggles in an 8-3 victory
over the Cincinnati Reds on
Tuesday night.
Yovani Gallardo (2-3) gave
up two runs in six innings and
tied a season high with eight
strikeouts for the Brewers, who
had lost eight of their previous
11 games.

nary open a 1-0 lead when his
match at No. 2 singles against
Walker Temperton was the first
to end in straight sets. Parkhurst
trailed 1-0 in the first set before
winning 6-2. He was never be-
hind in the second set, pulling
out a 6-1 victory.
Just a few minutes later, Hen-
ry Cornell (No. 3 singles) came
from behind in the second set to
knock off Keller McGurrin for a
2-0 Seminary lead.
Cornell, whodidnt fall behind
at all inthe first set after opening
a 3-0 lead before winning 6-2,
was down in the second 1-0 be-
fore taking leads of 2-1 and 3-2.
He finished off McGurrin in
three of the last four games for a
6-3 win.
In Class 3A, Crestwoods run
at a District 2 title ended with a
3-0 loss to Scranton in the quar-
terfinals at the Kingston Indoor
Tennis Club. The Knights nearly
pulled off an upset in the semis,
taking Williamsport to a deci-
sive thirdset at No. 3singles, but
wins were impressive straight-
set victories for the Blue
Knights, the most striking came
at No. 2 doubles.
The team of Evan Botwin and
Matt Cartwright won the first
set 6-3 before falling behind in
the second set 4-1. But the duo,
which has been working togeth-
er for just about three weeks and
hasnt dropped a set this season,
rebounded and didnt drop any-
more games to win 6-4 and
clinch the championship plaque
for their team.
To overcome a deficit like
that against a good team like
Prep has to be a shot in the arm
to them, Balutanski noted
about his No. 2 doubles pair.
When youre winning all the
time, thats easy. When youre
down and somebodys punching
you in the side of the neck, to
fight back and hold your ground
and then overcome that obsta-
cle, mentally thats just invalu-
able.
Harry Parkhurst helped Semi-
CLARKS SUMMIT Wyom-
ing Seminary is a teamon a mis-
sion.
That couldnt have been more
evident on Tuesday at the Birch-
wood Tennis and Fitness Center
during the District 2 Class 2A
Team Tennis Tournament.
After losing just once last year
in the state semifinals to even-
tual PIAAchampion Holy Ghost
Prep and with most of the play-
ers back fromthat team, the task
is just beginning in 2012 and the
Blue Knights are going full
steam ahead.
The team defeated Scranton
Prep 3-0 on Tuesday for their
third straight team champion-
ship. The previous two seasons
when Seminary won the district
title over their rival from up
north, Prep won at least one
match.
But not this time as Seminary
took care of business in just over
an hour. The three-time district
champion advances to the first
round of the PIAA Champion-
ships on Tuesday against the
District 11 champion, with the
location slated for Kirby Park in
Wilkes-Barre.
The previous two years, the
Knights faced Moravian Acade-
my in that round. Moravian is
the top seed in this years D-11
tournament. If the Blue Knights
winnext week, theywill advance
to the PIAA Team Champion-
ships on May 18-19 at the Her-
shey Racquet Club.
The returning players as a
whole felt that we had some un-
finished business because we
lost to the eventual state cham-
pion, Blue Knights coach Mike
Balutanski said. You dont feel
great about that, but you cant
feel badly that you lost to one
team the whole season that hap-
pened to be playing well and
won the whole state tourna-
ment.
While all three individual
fell short and lost the match 3-2.
The results were unavailable.
Delaware Valley did manage
to work an upset in 3A semifi-
nals, defeating top-seeded

The Times Leader staff
in the bottom of the inning on
Jack Custs single, then tied it in
the second on Kevin Russos dou-
ble. The second baseman was 4-
for-6 on the night.
Musteliers HR in the third in-
ning put the Yankees ahead 4-2
andcame off former Twins righty
Kevin Slowey. It was Musteliers
first homer this season. The Clip-
pers made it 4-3 on Cord Phelps
single in the fourth. On that play,
left fielder Yankees Ray Kruml
threwout Matt Pagnozzi at home
trying to score fromsecond base.
They threatened again in the
fifth, but reliever Juan Cedeno
(2-0) ended the inning on a
groundout with runners on sec-
ond and third.
Columbus also put runners on
first and third with one out in the
seventh, but Kevin Whelan
struck out Canzler and got Mills
to fly out for his seventh save.
Even in the losses we had
some opportunities, but just
hadnt come up with the big hit,
Miley said. Tonight Mustelier
came up with the big home run
and (we got) big outs by Cedeno
and a good job by Whelan in the
seventh.
Notes: The paid crowd was an-
nounced at 1,361, but only a few
hundred fans were there. Be-
fore the game, the Yankees put
catcher Craig Tatum on the dis-
abled list and activated Gustavo
Molina, who played in Game 2.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. It didnt
take long for Brett Gardner to de-
clare himself ready for the New
York Yankees.
One game and three at-bats
two of which were hits into a re-
habilitation assignment with the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees,
the speedy left fielder said hes
ready to return to the Bronx. Hes
been on the disabled list the past
three weeks with a bruised right
elbow and strained arm muscle.
I felt good. My whole body
feels good my arm, my legs,
running around the bases and in
the outfield, the 28-year-old said
after the Triple-AYankees lost 1-0
in Game 1 to the Columbus Clip-
pers at Frontier Field. I felt bet-
ter than I thought I would. Well
see if Imstill here tomorrowor if
I leave tomorrow.
Added manager Dave Miley:
He looked fine. He got in his
work, no problems.
Gardner didnt play in Game 2,
when Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
snapped a five-game losing
streak with a 4-3 win. Right fiel-
der Ronnier Musteliers two-run
home run in the third inning was
the difference.
Hazelton High School gradu-
ate Russ Canzler, the 26-year-old
Columbus left fielder who was
last years International League
MVP for Durham, went 0-for-3 in
the first game and 1-for-4 with a
double inthe nightcap. He struck
out with the tying run at third
and one out in the final inning of
Game 2.
Canzler, who is hitting .257,
was tradedto the Indians inJanu-
ary after spending last year in the
Tampa Bay organization.
Left-hander Manny Banuelos
(0-2), one of the Yankees top pro-
spects, was the Game 1 tough-
luck loser. He scattered four hits
in five innings, struck out three
and didnt walk a batter. Forty-
nine of his 75 pitches were
strikes.
Columbus pushed across its
only run on a lead-off single by
Beau Mills and Andy LaRoches
fifth-inning double.
Batting lead-off for Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre, Gardner lined a
sharpsingletoleft fieldinhis first
at-bat on what he called a good
fastball away, from left-hander
David Huff (1-1). He singled
again on a 2-and-0 pitch in the
third inning before grounding
out in the fifth. He hurt his arm
diving to try to make a catch on
April 18 against the Minnesota
Twins.
In Game 2, the Clippers took a
2-0 lead in the top of the first on
RBI doubles fromChad Huffman
and Matt LaPorta. Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre cut its deficit in half

NEW YORK Andy Pettitte
will be back on the mound in the
Bronx on Sunday, and the New
York Yankees are hoping he can
again be a reliable presence in
their rotation.
Pettitte is set to start against
the Seattle Mariners in his first
major league outing since retir-
ing after the 2010 postseason.
I think it will be a great day at
the Stadium, manager Joe Gi-
rardi said.
The lefty, who turns 40 next
month, returned to the team in
spring training and has made
four minor league starts. Even
though Pettitte was shaky over
five innings in a Triple-A start
Sunday, general manager Brian
Cashman says the time is right.
I think everybodys in agree-
ment that hes not going to really
benefit from any more time
down there, Cashman said.
One thing the Yankees man-
agement does agree on is the ro-
tation needs help. Expected to
be a strong part of the teamafter
the addition of Hiroki Kuroda
andMichael Pinedaintheoffsea-
son, the Yankees rotation has
struggled this to a 5.54 ERAand
a .292 opponents batting aver-
age only Minnesota and Col-
orado have worse averages
against.
Pineda is out for season fol-
lowing shoulder surgery and
Freddy Garcia was demoted to
the bullpen. Rookie David
Phelps is scheduled to make his
second start against Tampa Bay
on Wednesday, then is a likely
candidate to return to the bull-
pen. But Girardi would not say
whose spot Pettitte will take.
Pettitte is 240-138 in 13 years
with the Yankees and three with
Houston. He was a steady force
in the Yankees rotation for five
World Series championships
and is a fan favorite as one of the
CoreFour withDerekJeter, Mar-
iano Rivera and Jorge Posada.
Cashman, though, is trying to
be realistic in his expectations
for Pettitte, who will be making
his first big league start in 573
days, since Game 3 of the AL
championship series against
Texas on Oct. 18, 2010.
Theres still the unknown,
Cashmansaid. Theres a gapbe-
tweenwhat theoldAndyPettitte
is and what were going to get? I
just dont know yet.

Andy Pettitte has made four minor league starts this season
after coming out of retirement.
DENVER Jerry McMorris,
one of the instrumental figures
in bringing the Colorado Rock-
ies to town, has died, the team
said in a statement.
The team said that McMorris
died Tuesday in Denver of can-
cer. He was 71.
McMorris was part of a group
that purchased a controlling in-
terest in the club in 1992, a year
before the team started play. He
served as chairman, president
and CEO of the team until 2001.
He was part of the teams own-
ership group until 2005.
I believe it is fair to say with-
out the efforts of Jerry, there
may have never been Major
League Baseball in Denver,
Rockies owner and CEO Dick
Monfort said.
McMorris was a limited part-
ner when the original ownership
group was formed. He stepped
up when members of the origi-
nal group in the deal for the ex-
pansion team ran into financial
and legal trouble. McMorris as-
sistedinmakingupa $20million
shortfall on the $95 million ex-
pansion fee. He also garnered
other support for the team,
bringing on board Charles Mon-
fort and the late Oren Benton.
Major league owners ap-
proved Denver and South Flor-
ida as two newmembers on July
5, 1991. The Rockies playedtheir
first home game onApril 9, 1993,
when a crowd of 80,227 packed
intooldMileHighfor an11-4win
over Montreal.
McMorris is survived by his
wife, Mary, two childrenandfive
grandchildren. Funeral arrange-
ments are pending.

HANGING BASKETS
being around our players, meet-
ingthecoaches inthis athletic de-
partment, coming on this cara-
van and seeing all of the people
Look at this! Why wouldnt you
take this job?
Joined by womens basketball
coach Coquese Washington and
mens golf coachGregNyeonthis
latest stop of Penn States coach-
es caravan, OBrien again tried to
steer discussion away from the
programs darkest hours.
That wont be easy. Updates
from the Jerry Sandusky scandal
that rocked the university are in-
creasing in frequency as a trial
date approaches. Spring ball is
now over and the new season is
still four months away.
I dont see dark clouds,
OBrien said. I dont believe in
dark clouds. I wasnt here in the
fall.
So he spent much of Tuesday
discussing the future, first at a
small press conference and then
speaking in front of the crowd
who came in for the luncheon.
OBrien had said at an earlier
stop on the bus tour which
spans18 cities over three weeks
that he was interested in restart-
ing the old rivalry with Pitt down
the road. On Tuesday he expand-
ed on that, saying he would like
to see the Nittany Lions work out
marquee matchups to open the
season.
For instance, we could open
the seasonmaybe at a neutral site
or maybe at Beaver Stadium
thats not set yet, OBrien said.
That would be against, obvious-
ly, a major college power. Like an
Alabama, like a Southern Cal,
like a Stanford.
That would give our guys
something to shoot for in the
summer, and thats something
our fans would like.
Non-conference scheduling in
major college football is often
worked out years in advance,
meaningthat 2015 looks tobe the
first season that the Lions have
some flexibility to fit in such a
game. OBrien used the New
York Giants and Jets MetLife
Stadiumas a hypothetical venue.
As for this coming season,
OBrien said that the team came
out of the spring with perhaps
three or four players apiece on
offense and defense who are
locks to start in September.
Off the topof his headhe threw
out the names of JordanHill, Ger-
ald Hodges and Stephon Morris
on defense and mentioned line-
men John Urschel and Matt Stan-
kiewitchonoffense before declin-
ing to list any more.
Asked by both reporters and a
fan in the crowd about the status
of wide receiver Devon Smith,
OBrienreiteratedthat the senior
who faces a pair of misdemean-
or drug charges will remain on
the team.
It was the coachs most vocal
public defense of his player since
charges were filed in late April.
Theres two sides to every sto-
ry, OBrien said. Again, I be-
lieve in Devon. Devons not per-
fect. Hes made mistakes along
the way and hed be the first one
to tell you that. Hes a good kid.
Hes a kid that Ive formed a bond
with and I believe in him.
Were going to run a very dis-
ciplined program, thats for sure.
And the punishment will be be-
tween Devon and I. But hes a kid
I definitely have faith in.

York Rangers-Washington Capi-
tals series. The Devils rebound-
ed this season under coach Peter
DeBoer after missing the play-
offs for the first time since 1996
last season.
The sixth-seeded Devils
scored twice in the first period
and became the first East team
to win four straight games in
these playoffs.
It was just sticking with the
game plan and doing what it
takes to be successful, DeBoer
said. Marty made some saves
when he needed to, and we held
on.
Max Talbot scored for the
Flyers, but Philadelphia was
eliminated in the conference
semifinals for the second
straight season. The Flyers fin-
ished the season without sus-
pended All-Star forward Claude
Giroux because of his illegal
check to the head on NewJersey
center Dainius Zubrus in Game
4.
The Flyers underwent a face-
lift last summer that saw them
trade team captain Mike Ri-
chards to the Los Angeles Kings
andacquire goalie Ilya Bryzgalov
from the Phoenix Coyotes.
The Kings and Coyotes will
play in the West finals while the
Flyers watch from home.
The Flyers again failed in the
postseason to hold a quick lead
after Talbot scored in the first.
The Devils also survived a rug-
ged series of hits unleashed by a
frustrated Flyers teamthat failed
to build anything off their first-
round victory over Pittsburgh.
Anton Volchenkov, Marek Zi-
dlicky and Zubrus all suffered
punishing hits that knocked
themdown on the ice in Game 5.
Bryzgalov had a disheartening
end to an erratic first season in
Philadelphia. He allowed two
YouTube-worthy goals like only
he can.
Salvador unleashed a shot
from outside the circle that
skipped along the ice as if he
threw a rock across a pond and
sailed high over Bryzgalov for
the tying goal.
In a season loaded with head-
scratching tallies allowed, Bryz-
galov saved the weirdest for the
finale. Clarksons shot onBryzga-
lov was deflected off the goalie
stick straight back at the fore-
checking forward. Bryzgalov on-
ly looked himbehind in disbelief
after Clarkson knocked it right
into the net.
The Devils could credit Bryz-
galov withthe assist onthat goal.
Kovalchuk fired a liner from
the highslot after the Devils won
the faceoff to make it 3-1 in the
third to seal the win. Fromthere,
New Jerseys depth took over
and stuffed any hope of a home
team rally.
The fact that we have four
lines and roll six defensemen re-
ally helps, DeBoer said. Its a
team game. We play that way,
and guys really believe in what
were doing. But thats a good
teamwe just beat over there, and
we have a long way to go.
All the inspirational Rocky
clips on their highlight reel
couldnt inspire the Flyers. Even
Girouxs presence may not have
even mattered in Game 5.
Without their leading scorer,
the Flyers tried to knock around
the Devils with a series of both
clean and questionable hits.
Zac Rinaldo stayed on his
skates when he charged full
speed with his right shoulder
and crushed Volchenkov against
the boards. Volchenkov was
down on his knees for several
minutes before he gingerly walk-
ed to the bench.
Thats my bread and butter
right there, Rinaldo said.
Thats what I feed off of and
thats what gets the boys going.
We got a goal off it so we just
have to keep it going and keep
positive.
DEVILS
over the center-field wall.
He also doubledinthe fifthin-
ning. His 18 total bases is a new
single-game American League
record, and his eight RBIs are a
career high.
The last player to hit four
home runs in a game was Carlos
Delgado on Sept. 25, 2003, for
Toronto against Tampa Bay.
Two of the 16 players to hit four
homers in a game did it before
1900.
Hamilton is the sixth ALslug-
ger to performthe feat. The last
player to hit four homers in a
game against the Orioles was
Rocky Colavito in 1959, at old
Memorial Stadium.
Hamilton, who is in the final
year of his contract and could
become a free agent after this
season, leads the AL with 14
homers and 36 RBIs, and his 5-
for-5 effort raised his batting av-
erage to .406.
He also set the Texas single-
game club record with five ex-
tra-base hits, breaking the mark
of four heldby eight players. Ha-
miltonhas homeredinfiveof his
last six at-bats, counting his fi-
nal trip to the plate Monday
night.
Andrian Beltre also homered
for the Rangers. Coming off a
14-3 win in the series opener,
Texas has won two straight for
the first time since April 24-25
and are 20-10, their best-ever re-
cord after 30 games.
Dating back to last season,
Texas has won seven in a row
over Baltimore by a combined
70-18 score.
Rangers starter Neftali Feliz
(2-1) gave up one run on four
hits and had a career-high eight
strikeouts. Converted to starter
after notching 72 saves over the
previous two seasons, Feliz had
a 2-0 lead to protect before
throwing his first pitch and
maintained the advantage
just like when he was closer.
RECORD
ATLANTA Al Horford
scored 19 points in his first start
since January, and the Atlanta
Hawks held on for an 87-86
victory over the Boston Celtics
in a thrilling Game 5 of the
Eastern Conference playoffs
Tuesday night.
The Celtics lead the series 3-2
heading back to Boston for
Game 6 on Thursday. If the
Hawks can steal one on the
road, the deciding game would
be Saturday in Atlanta.
Boston had a chance to clinch
the series when Rajon Rondo
stole Josh Smiths inbounds pass
with 10 seconds remaining and
raced down the court, looking
for the winner. But he got
hemmed in along the sideline
and Smith knocked away a des-
peration pass, the ball rolling
away as time ran out.
A relieved Smith collapsed on
the scorers table.
Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett
led the Celtics with 16 points
apiece. Rondo had 13 points and
12 assists, and the last of his five
assists gave Boston a chance to
end the series early and get
some much-needed rest.
But theres still work to do.
The Hawks kept their season
going, getting a huge contribu-
tion from a player who wasnt
there for much of it. Horford
went down in January with a
torn pectoral muscle, missing
the rest of the regular season
and the first three games of the
playoffs. But he made a surprise
return in Game 4, one of the few
bright spots in an embarrassing
101-79 loss that gave the Celtics
command of the series.
Boston headed to Atlanta
intent on wrapping things up,
but Horford clearly wanted to
play a little longer after missing
so much time. He led fast breaks
and dived on the court for loose
balls, not the least bit worried
about reinjuring himself. In
addition to leading the Hawks
in scoring, he grabbed 11 re-
bounds, dished out three assists,
came up with three steals and
blocked three shots.
Smith clearly looked hobbled
by a sore knee, but still man-
aged 13 points and 16 rebounds.
Jeff Teague had 16 points, while
Joe Johnson and Marvin Wil-
liams had 15 apiece, giving
Atlanta double-figure scoring
from all five of its starters in a
revamped lineup.
In a back-and-forth game, the
Celtics tied it at 83 on Ray Al-
lens 3-pointer from the corner,
capping a quick 7-0 run.
Pacers 105, Magic 87
INDIANAPOLIS Danny
Granger scored 25 points to
help the Indiana Pacers defeat
the Orlando Magic 105-87 on
Tuesday night and clinch their
first-round Eastern Conference
playoff series 4-1.
It was Indianas first series
win since 2005 and its first
clincher on its home court since
the first round of the 2000 play-
offs. The Pacers will play Miami
or New York in the second
round.
Darren Collison scored 15 of
his 19 points in the fourth quar-
ter and George Hill added 15
points for the Pacers, who
trailed by two at the end of the
third quarter but outscored the
Magic 36-16 in the final 12 min-
utes.
Jameer Nelson led Orlando
with 27 points and made 5 of 8
3-pointers. Glen Davis, a thorn
in Indianas side throughout the
series, scored 15 but made just 6
of 17 shots. The Magic made
just 5 of 16 shots in the fourth
quarter.
Collison made a layup and hit
a 3-pointer to give the Pacers a
78-73 lead with 9:33 to play.
After Nelson drained another 3,
Collison came back with a lay-
up, then Leandro Barbosas steal
and layup pushed Indianas lead
to 87-80 with 6:49 to play and
forced an Orlando timeout. A
few minutes later, Indianas Paul
George stole an inbounds pass
and found Granger under the
hoop for a layup and a 91-80
lead. The Pacers dominated
from there.

said of his players. Theyre a
close group and when your sea-
son is on the line you can give
more sometimes than you think
you can.
Thiessen got the win after a
long night in which he allowed
the puck to get through his legs
after a dump-in from the neutral
zone inthe first periodtogive the
IceCaps a 1-0 lead. He later got
cut above the eye after being
struck through the mask by
Despres stick.
But he also stopped 26 of the
28 shots he faced to get the win.
It was one of the more event-
ful nights Ive in a while, said
Thiessen, whohadstitches above
his right eye. That first goal is
was not something you imagine
happening, but I still felt like I
needed to be there for the guys
andwas abletoput it behindme.
During regulation, the IceCaps
struck first when Jason King
dumpedthepuckinfromtheneu-
tral zone. Thiessen skated up to
playit withhis stick, but the puck
slid through his legs and into the
net for a 1-0 lead.
Thiessendroppedhis stickand
lowered his head after the play,
but it was the beginning of what
wouldturnout tobe a longnight.
The Penguins regroupedinthe
second period and tied the game
after matchingminors toIceCaps
goaltender Eddie Pasquale and
Brandon DeFazio left both teams
withfour skaters. Withtheplayin
the St. Johns end, Cal OReilly
forced the puck out to the low
slot, where Paul Thompson
picked it up fired to the wide side
of Pasquale to make it 1-1. It was
Thompsons first goal of the play-
offs and the first postseason tally
of his career.
The Penguins kept upthe pres-
surefor therest of theperiod, out-
shooting the IceCaps 14-3 but
were unable to beat Pasquale
again.
AlexGrant connectedless than
three minutes into the third peri-
od when he snuck into the slot,
collected a pass from Jason Wil-
liams andfireda shot intothe top
of the net to make it 2-1.
The lead was short-lived as the
IceCaps evened things up with a
power-play goal from Paul Post-
ma less than two minutes later
for a 2-2 tie.
The Penguins attacked the net
relentlessly in the second half of
the period, producing several
quality scoring chances. Alex
Grant fired a slapshot from the
point, Thompson a wrister in
front and Ben Street on a break-
away.
But Pasquale saved themall to
keep the game tied and eventual-
ly force overtime.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla.
Tiger Woods is about the only
person not in a panic about his
game.
Theseremaincurious times for
the guy tryingtoshowhe canstill
dominate golf as he once did. In
his last four tournaments, Woods
walked off the course in the mid-
dle of the final round at Doral
with tightness in his left Achilles
tendon, won by five shots at Bay
Hill for his first PGA Tour title in
30 months, was an also-ran at the
Masters with his worst perform-
ance as a pro and missed the cut
at Quail Hollow for only the
eighth time in his career.
In the absence of trophies,
there is no shortage of opinions.
Peter Alliss, the player-turned-
broadcaster, said before his in-
duction into the World Golf Hall
of Fame that Woods is gone at
the moment. Nick Faldo, a six-
time major champion who works
for CBSSports andGolf Channel,
saidWoods nolonger has the self-
belief that made him No. 1 for all
those years. Brandel Chamblee, a
journeyman on the PGA Tour
andnowananalyst for Golf Chan-
nel, said Woods should fire Sean
Foley and call his old coach,
Butch Harmon.
And I knowhell never do that
because hes letting his ego get in
the way of common sense,
Chamblee said on a conference
call for The Players Champion-
ship, which starts Thursday. He
wants to prove to people hes
right. He would rather prove to
people hes right than be right.
Woods has been down this
road, though not with so many
detours.
Guys, Ive done this before,
Woods said. Ive been through
this. Actually, a lot of you guys
lived it with me, went through
those periods where I wasnt
quite where I wanted to be. I had
some pretty good runs after that,
and this is no different. It takes a
little bit of a time, and I keep
building and things eventually
come around to where they feel
natural and efficient.
I think thats probably the
most important word, is that you
get out there and you feel effi-
cient in what youre doing.
Woods shot back with subtlety
at the TV analysts.
I can understand that every-
one has anopinion, andhes entit-
led to his. But hes no longer play-
ing anymore, so, so be it, Woods
said of Chamblee, who won once
in 380 starts in his PGA Tour ca-
reer.
As for Faldos comments on his
self-belief?
I always find it interesting
since theyre not in my head,
Woods said. They must have
some kind of superpower I dont
know about.
If he is looking for good vibes
to turn his fortunes, the TPC
Sawgrass might not be the best
place.
No other course on his regular
schedule has given himmore fits.
Sure, Woods won in 2001 with
that better than most 60-foot
birdie putt on the island-green
17th in the third round, and he
was runner-up to Hal Suttons
Be the right club today! mo-
ment in2000. But he has hadonly
two other finishes in the top10 at
The Players Championship, and
thelast twoyears wereparticular-
ly troubling.
In 2010, returning to the scene
where he made his first public ap-
pearance since the scandal in his
personal life, he withdrew half-
way through the final round with
what turned out to be a minor
neck injury. Last year, he with-
drewafter nine holes and a 42 on
his card with injuries to his left
leg.

NEW YORK The NFL is
telling retirees about a medical
study that says former players
live longer than men in the gen-
eral population.
While player safety issues re-
lated to brain trauma and other
football-related injuries dom-
inate the headlines, the study by
the National Institute for Occu-
pational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) found 334 deceased
men in a sampling of 3,439 for-
mer NFL players. Estimates for
the general populationanticipat-
ed 625 deaths.
Players in the study participa-
ted in the NFL for at least five
seasons from1959 through1988,
and were observed by NIOSH
through 2007.
The study is a follow-up to a
1994 report the institute did at
the request of the players union
to, investigate concerns that
players were dying premature-
ly. The latest findings, which
contradict that idea, were pub-
lished earlier this year in the
American Journal of Cardiology
and on NIOSHs blog. The NFL
sent a newsletter from NIOSH
about the studys finding to
about 3,200 pre-1993 retired
players on Tuesday.
The results come as NFL vet-
erans by the hundreds from
both recent years and decades
ago are suing the league be-
cause of long-term health ef-
fects, many head injuries they
sustained playing football. The
league maintains player safety
was and is a major priority.
The latest study found that
players had a much lower rate of
cancer-related deaths, with 85
dying from the disease as op-
posed to a projected 146 based
on estimates from the general
population. One reason for that
could be low levels of smoking
among athletes, but NIOSH did
not attempt to contact former
players about their smokinghab-
its.
Larger players, particularly
defensive linemen, had a higher
level of deaths from heart dis-
ease, 41as opposed to an expect-
ed 29. There were 498 defensive
linemen studied.
Overall, though, the study
showed that the risk of players
dying of heart disease was lower
than the general population,
with126 deaths while the antici-
pated number was 186.

Study says former players live longer
Institutes research shows a
lower death rate compared to
the general public.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. It was
just a year ago that Penske Rac-
ing, or at least its NASCAR
branch, appeared to be in total
turmoil.
Kurt Busch used a meltdown
over his team radio at Richmond
to assail all the shortcomings he
sawat Penske. It certainly got the
attention of team management,
and behind-the-scene changes
began almost immediately.
The performance began to im-
prove, too, especially for BradKe-
selowski. Spurred in part by
Buschs claim that it had been
years since hed had a competi-
tive teammate, Keselowski went
on to win three races and earn a
spot in the Chase for the Sprint
Cup championship.
Now, a year removed fromthat
low point for the proud Penske
organization, things couldnt be
better. Keselowskis win on Sun-
day at Talladega Superspeedway
the first for teamowner Roger
Penske was his second of the
season and cemented him as a
strong contender to give Penske
his first Cup championship.
And, oh, by the way, Penskes
IndyCar teamis pretty good, too.
His drivers have combinedtowin
all four races and all four poles so
far this season, and begin Satur-
day preparing for the Indianapo-
lis 500 a race the organization
has won 15 times.
Im not king of the world, Ill
tell you that for sure, Penske
said. I think we made some
changes last year after Rich-
mond. We had a plan. I think ev-
erybody stuck together. Kurt was
a big help there, obviously as we
got going with getting in the
Chase. I think youve seen this
year this year weve been very
competitive.
On the IndyCar side, when
you win the first four races, cant
do much better than that. Over-
all, I think weve got a great sea-
son going. Its a credit really to
our people.
It was Keselowski who gave
Penske his only NASCARtitle, in
2010 in the second-tier Nation-
wide Series. Otherwise, the most
decorated team owner in motor-
sports has been shutout. Penske
first joined in NASCAR in 1972,
but was out of the series from
1981 through 1990.
The opportunity to take
Penske to the head table at the
season-ending awards ceremony
is why Keselowski chose the or-
ganizationover everybody else in
NASCAR when he got out of his
developmental deal with Hen-
drick Motorsports after the 2009
season.
I want tobethat first guy. I feel
like (Penskes) dedicated to mak-
ing that happen, Keselowski
said. I look as some of the other
elite car owners in the sport, and
I dont want this to be offensive,
but to win another Cup cham-
pionship for Hendrick or Richard
Childress is not the same as win-
ning the first for Roger Penske.
Thats a whole different accom-
plishment.
I think hes certainly paid his
dues in this sport, has that repu-
tation as ... a titan for a reason,
andthat is that he canget it done.
I want to be the guy that proves it
in the record books.
Keselowski is ranked 12th in
the Sprint Cup standings, but
those two wins should pretty
much guarantee him at least one
of the two wild card slots in the
12-driver Chase. Thats how he
got in last year, when three regu-
lar-season victories locked him
into the championship field, and
Keselowski finished fifth in the fi-
nal standings.
This year, hes shown versatil-
ity with wins at Talladega and
Bristol.
At Talladega, he used a calcu-
lated last-lap move to stave off
Kyle Busch and become the first
driver in five races at the 2.66-
mile superspeedway to take the
white flag and hold on for the vic-
tory. His win on the 0.533-mile
Bristol bullring was more dom-
inant: he led 232 of the 500 laps
and held off Matt Kenseth on a
late restart.
I wouldnt trade him for any-
body right now, Penske said.
He feels the same way about
his other drivers, too.
Kurt Busch is no longer with
the team, and replacement AJ
Allmendinger does not yet have
the results to match the potential
hes shown.

Series auto race at Talladega Superspeedway Sunday.
GREAT FALLS, Mont. For-
mer NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf
pleaded guilty Tuesday to charg-
es that he broke into a Montana
home and illegally possessed
painkillers, part of a deal with
prosecutors that recommends he
spend nine months in a secure
drug treatment facility.
The former San Diego Char-
gers quarterback and Washing-
ton State standout was shackled
hand and foot and wore a black-
and-white prison stripes as he
told Cascade County District
Judge Kenneth Neill that he
needed treatment.
Im very
much looking
forward to the
opportunity
presented,
Leaf said. An
intensive nine-
month rehab fa-
cility is present-
ly needed.
It was one of the few state-
ments Leaf made in the hearing
under questioning by his attor-
ney, Kenneth Olson. Leaf admit-
ted that he broke into a home in
Cascade County on April 1. He
thenadmittedthat a fewdays ear-
lier, on March 28, he illegally pos-
sessed oxycodone that was not
prescribed to him.
Leaf pleaded guilty to one
count each of felony burglary and
criminal possession of a danger-
ous drug. Under the agreement,
County Attorney John Parker
agreed to dismiss two other
counts of burglary and drug pos-
session.
Neill set sentencing for June
19. Parker and Olson are recom-
mending a five-year sentence in
the custody of the Montana De-
partment of Corrections for the
burglary charge.
Olson said that recommenda-
tion will include a nine-month
program at the Nexus Treatment
Center in Lewistown, a center af-
filiated with the DOC, where
Leaf would be locked down and
unable to leave. That would be
followed by time in a pre-release
program in which Leafs move-
ments would be restricted.
The agreement recommends a
separate five-year sentence for
the possessioncharge, but all of it
would be suspended, Olson said.
Neill is not bound by the sen-
tencing recommendation, but in-
dicated he may look favorably on
it.

Stocks, commodities fall
Political uncertainty in debt-hobbled
Europe spread to financial markets
Tuesday and pushed stocks lower on
both sides of the Atlantic.
The Dow Jones industrial average
was down almost 200 points at its low
point for the day before recovering
most of its loss. It was the averages
fifth straight decline.
Prices plummeted for commodities
that depend on the health of the world
economy. U.S. crude lost 93 cents to
$97.01 per barrel in New York, after
briefly dipping below $96 around mid-
day.
Gold dipped below $1,600 per ounce
for the first time since early January.
Ford to build more vehicles
Rising car and truck sales have
prompted Ford Motor Co. to add a
week of production at 13 North Amer-
ican factories so the company can
make another 40,000 vehicles this year.
Ford said Tuesday that it would cut
in half the normal two-week summer
shutdown at six assembly plants and
seven engine and parts plants. Auto
plants normally close for two weeks
around the July 4 holiday as they
switch over to make vehicles for the
next model year.
Australia balancing books
Australia will rein in defense spend-
ing and scale back increases in foreign
aid as it tries to become the first major
developed economy to balance its
books after the global economic crisis.
The budget deficit for the current
year has almost doubled from the fore-
cast a year ago, to reach $44.4 billion
about 3 percent of the nations econ-
omy.
The cuts would not affect Australias
overseas military deployments, in-
cluding 1,550 troops in Afghanistan,
according to government documents.
Mass. casino plan on hold
Plans to bring a $1 billion resort-style
casino proposed by Las Vegas casino
developer Steve Wynn to the New
England Patriots hometown have been
suspended.
Tuesdays announcement from The
Kraft Group and Wynn Resorts came
after Foxborough, Mass. voters elected
two selectmen who opposed negotia-
tions with Wynn.
He had planned to build the resort
on land leased from Patriots owner
Robert Kraft.

ASHINGTON U.S.
companies in March post-
ed the highest number of
job openings in nearly
four years, a sign that hiring could
strengthen in the coming months after
slowing this spring.
The Labor Department said Tues-
day that employers advertised 3.74
million job openings in March. Thats
up froma revised3.57 millioninFebru-
ary and the most since July 2008, just
before the financial crisis erupted.
The increase in U.S. job openings
suggests that weaker hiring gains in
MarchandApril couldbe temporary. It
usually takes one to three months for
employers to fill openings.
Even with the increase, roughly 12.7
million people were unemployed in
March. That means an average of 3.4
people competed for each open job.
While thats far better than the nearly
7-to-1 ratio when the recession ended,
ina healthy job market, the ratio is usu-
ally around 2 to 1.
Last week the government said em-
ployers added just 115,000 jobs in April
and 154,000 in March. That was a
sharp decline from December through
February, when the economy added an
average of 252,000 jobs per month.
Jared Franz, an economist at T.
Rowe Price in Baltimore, said that in-
crease in job openings was evidence
that steady labor market healing con-
tinues.
Tuesdays report, known as the Job
Openings and Labor Turnover survey,
or JOLTs, showed that more people
quit their jobs in March.
More quits are a good sign because
most people quit in order to move to a
new job. Rising quits suggest workers
are finding more opportunities in the
job market.
The increase in openings reflected
gains in two sectors vital to the econo-
mys health: manufacturing and con-
struction. In March, factories adver-
tised 55,000 more openings, while con-
struction firms posted 23,000 more
openings.
However, government job openings
decreased by 26,000. The majority of
the decline was at the state and local
level, where governments continue to
face budgetary pressures.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. More
than 200,000 letters from Bank
of America will begin landing in
homeowners mailboxes this
week, the bank said Tuesday, of-
fering principal reduction as
part of the $25 billion mortgage
settlement announced in Febru-
ary.
Its one of the banks first
steps in the blockbuster agree-
ment between state attorneys
general, federal agencies and the
nations five largest mortgage
servicers.
Bank of America says the aver-
age savings will
be about 30 per-
cent of the
homeowners
monthly pay-
ment.
The bank an-
nounced the out-
line of this pro-
gram in March,
and its guide-
lines are spelled
out in the con-
sent order ap-
proved by a fed-
eral judge last month.
Bank of America will reduce
principal to as low as the cur-
rent value of the property, and
will lower the interest rate and
extend the duration of the loan
as needed to get to the target
monthly payment.
Homeowners must make three
payments under the terms of the
loan modification before it be-
comes permanent.
Eligible homeowners:
Owe more than the property
is worth,
Were at least 60 days behind
on payments as of Jan. 31,
Make a monthly payment of
at least 25 percent of gross
household income,
Have a loan owned and ser-
viced by Bank of America, or
serviced by Bank of America and
owned by an investor who has
given the bank permission to re-
duce principal. Government-
backed housing giants Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac have not
given permission; nor have the
Federal Housing Administration
and the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
Bank of America will also
spend money to provide refi-
nancing for underwater home-
owners current on payments and
to provide other types of fore-
closure avoidance.

LOS ANGELES WatchESPN, the
online and mobile version of Disneys
popular sports TV network, was activa-
ted Tuesday for most of Comcasts 22
million video subscribers.
Its one of the perks being offered to
cable subscribers to convince them to
keep paying for TV. Getting online or
mobile access to shows you already pay
for is known in the industry as TV Ev-
erywhere.
Robert Grove, a Comcast spokesman,
said the service would be offered in the
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market to Xfin-
ity TV customers.
The new offering results from a 10-
year deal between Comcast Corp. and
The Walt Disney Co. that was an-
nouncedinJanuary. It doubles the num-
ber of customers able to access Watch-
ESPN to about 40 million.
WatchESPN offers live feeds of four
pay TV networks: ESPN, ESPN2,
ESPN3andESPNU. It alsooffers on-the-
go access to feeds of ESPN Goal Line
when college football is underway or
ESPNBuzzer Beater duringcollege bas-
ketball season.
Customers of Time Warner Cable
Inc., Bright House Networks and Veri-
zon FiOS also have access to Watch-
ESPN. Its app, available on iPads and
iPhones, has been downloaded about 8
million times.
For now, the online and mobile ver-
sions comewithfewor noads as theDis-
ney subsidiary experiments with inter-
active advertising. During TV commer-
cials, the online version often puts up a
message that says Commercial break.
Well be right back.

Now that weve
had rain on 7 of
the past 8 days,
our lawns, gar-
dens and our
weeds are grow-
ing very nicely.
This was not
expected to be
an unusually wet
month, but it
sure is starting
out that way.
Another cold
front is
approaching
today, so we can
expect another
round of show-
ers later this
afternoon into
tonight.
Northerly winds
tonight will
usher in colder
temperatures for
Thursday, but we
do not expect
frost at night.
Saturday is still
looking nice and
dry, but perhaps
not as nice on
Sunday.

NATIONAL FORECAST: Showers and thunderstorms will be likely throughout the East as a storm sys-
tem pushes through that region. Strong to severe storms will be possible from the eastern North
Carolina to southern Mississippi. A few scattered thunderstorms will be possible from the Lower

WITH SUMMER
slowly approaching,
here is a slight twist
on a traditional dess-
ert that has been
around for gener-
ations: Creamy Carib-
bean Coconut Rice
Pudding.
Rice pudding is often neglected and
sometimes considered a boring dess-
ert. As a matter of fact, it actually can
be a simple, yet decadent dessert to
make with many variations.
For example, I took a basic rice pud-
ding recipe and chose to add pineapple,
mango and coconut milk to it. The
flavors are incredible when all paired
together. If Caribbean fruits or flavors
are not your style, you may add differ-
ent extracts and fruits as you wish. Just
take my rice-pudding recipe as listed
below, and instead of the 2 cups of
coconut milk just substitute 2 more
cups of milk. You will have your basic
rice pudding recipe with whatever you
decide to add to it.
When preparing this dessert, be
mindful not to continuously stir the
rice pudding because it may become
frail. Occasionally stir the rice pudding
while cooking to ensure a nice creamy
rice texture as your end product.
This dessert will be featured this
weekend as well as on our famous
Mothers Day Dinner Buffet with vari-
ous other choices at Fire and Ice on
Toby Creek Restaurant in Trucksville.
Enjoy the recipe.
CREAMY CARIBBEAN
COCONUT RICE PUDDING
3 cups water
1
4 teaspoon salt
1
1
2 cups white rice
2 cups 2 percent milk
2 cups coconut milk
2 cups half & half
1
1
2 cups sugar
2 whole eggs
4 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1
4 teaspoon salt
1
2 cup ripe mangos (small diced)
1
2 cup ripe pineapple (small diced)
1 cup toasted coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (for

toasting the coconut).
Bring 3 cups water and
1
4 teaspoon salt
to boil in a 4-quart pot, stir in 1
1
2 cups rice.
Cover and simmer until water is absorbed,
about 15 minutes. Stir in 4 cups milk, 2
cups half and half, 1
1
2 cups sugar and heat
up until steamy (stirring continuously)
then reduce to low heat, cover, until mix-
ture looks thick soup, about 1 hour.
Whisk 2 eggs, 4 egg whites, 1 teaspoon
vanilla and
1
4 teaspoon salt in separate
bowl, then add to rice mixture. Do not let
boil; stir about 1-2 minutes on low heat so
temperature reaches 160-170 degrees.
Remove from heat and add your mangos
and pineapple Cover surface with plastic
wrap so the rice pudding will not develop a
skin as it is cooling down. Cool for about
an hour. While your rice pudding is cooling,
begin to toast the coconut.
Place the coconut in a baking pan and
toast until slightly golden brown. (This
should take about 5-10 minutes. Toss the
coconut while baking to ensure equal
browning) This recipe makes 3 quarts.
Serve chilled. Top rice pudding with toast-
ed coconut as desired.

I
f youve been watching Dancing With the
Stars on ABC this season, youve likely
heard contestant Maria Menounos shout
Im Greek! Im Greek! to explain how she can
dance despite broken bones in her feet.
Could there be some mysterious compo-
nent in Greek food that helps you play
through pain?
Shes young. Youth is always part of the
process, Theresa Karambelas of Kingston
said with a laugh as she helped a group of
cooks prepare fragrant trays of pastitsio in
the kitchen at Annunciation Greek Orthodox
Church on East Ross Street in Wilkes-Barre.
Pastitsio, a type of Greek-style lasag-
na, is just one of many dishes the vol-
unteers have been preparing for a
Greek Food Festival that runs from11
a.m. to 8 pm. today through Saturday.
Spanakopita (spinach pie), dolmada-
kia (stuffed grapevine leaves); souvlaki
(shish kebab) and baklava and meloma-
karona pastries also are available for
eat-in or take-out, and Dina Banas of
Harding said, the $15 trays of Greek
cookies make great Mothers Day gifts.
For weeks the cooks, mostly women
but some men, have been getting to-
gether just about every Thursday and
Saturday to prepare, then freeze, the
festival food. Saturday sessions allow
members of the younger generation
who are in the work force a chance to
practice the recipes of their ancestors
on their day off, Harriet Koukoltsios of
Wyoming said.
Karambelas, who married into the
culture, said the Greek community is
close-knit, to the point where friends
from a Scranton church help out at the
Wilkes-Barre festival, and the Wilkes-
Barre church volunteers reciprocate.
This week at Annunciation Church,
volunteers expect to sell pounds and
pounds of food.
You can eat in or take out and youre
welcome but not required to pre-order
at 823-4805 or through greekfood-
festival.webs.com. Delivery is available
for orders of $30 or more within two
miles of the church.
If youd like to try making pastitsio at
home, here is a recipe that should fit a
12x18-inch pan.

be sold at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Churchs Greek Food Festival today through Saturday.

Annunciation Greek Orthodoxs annual food festival starts today
Wed have liked to provide some
burger-making tips to coincide with
the start of grilling season, but as
everyone knows, this year that ship
sailed with La Nina. And even when
we do get a normal transition from
winter into spring, many of you have
been firing up the grill year-round.
Nonetheless, weve been flipping up
a storm at the backyard grill, making
burgers from a variety of meats (and
in one case, a vegetable).
Our first suggestion: Use high-qual-
ity, relatively low-fat beef but add
some fat, working from the inside out.
Putting a pat of herb butter inside the
uncooked patty makes the interior
moist while adding flavor.
Our second suggestion: Skip the
beef and go with bison for a full, mea-
ty flavor. Bison has about a third less
fat than 90 percent lean beef, however,
so it, too, can benefit greatly from
added ingredients. We recommend
adding one egg for every pound of
ground bison and flavoring it with
just a touch of shallot and Worcester-
shire. Other flavorings would work
equally well, so experiment with your
favorites.
Our third suggestion involves mov-
ing beyond red meat. Turkey burgers
are generally lower in fat than beef
burgers, but be careful: Not all ground
turkey is created equal. Look for a
label that specifies lean ground turkey
breast, with no dark meat or skin
added.
And finally, for our fourth and fifth
suggestions, consider dropping the
meat altogether.
Make a burger out of fish a tuna
burger, for example or take ad-
vantage of the fact that a portobello
mushroom cap cooked on the grill
looks a lot like burger patty.
BISON BURGERS
Yield: 4 servings
1 egg
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon minced shallot
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground bison
4 hamburger buns
Directions:
1. Preheat a grill for direct heat.
2. Combine egg and Worcestershire
sauce in a bowl; beat with a fork until well
combined. Stir in shallot and salt and
pepper to taste. Add bison; with your
hands, mix gently but well. Form into four
patties. Season again with salt and pep-
per.
3. Brush oil on the grill grate. Cook
burgers over direct heat 4 to 6 minutes
per side. If desired, rotate the burgers 90
degrees halfway through cooking each
side for an attractive crosshatch of grill
marks. Cook until an instant-read meat
thermometer reads 125 degrees for rare,
135 degrees for medium-rare or 145 de-
grees for medium. Cooking beyond medi-
um is not recommended as bison can dry
out easily.
4. Place each patty on a bun, garnish as
desired and serve.

Try a bison burger for an alternative
to beef. Bison is leaner and can use a
little extra fat, say from eggs.

HAMBURGERS
WITH HERB BUTTER
Yield: 4 servings
4 teaspoons finely chopped fresh
herbs (any combination of
parsley, chives, basil, oregano
and tarragon)
1
2 clove garlic, minced
Freshly ground black pepper
1
4 cup (
1
2 stick) salted butter, at
room temperature
1
1
2 pounds ground sirloin, round
or chuck
Coarse salt
4 slices pancetta, optional
4 slices white Cheddar cheese,
optional
4 hamburger buns
2 tablespoons melted butter
Directions:
1. Place herbs, garlic,
1
4 teaspoon
black pepper and softened butter
in a small mixing bowl; stir or beat
to combine thoroughly.
Place on a piece of plastic wrap
or parchment paper, roll into a
cylinder and twist the ends to
compact the mixture. Refrigerate
or freeze until firm.
2. Cut the herbed butter into 4
slices. Wet your hands with cold
water and divide the ground beef
into 4 portions. Pat each portion of
beef into a thick patty. Press an
indentation into the center of the
patty, filling it with a slice of herbed
butter.
Mold the beef to enclose the
butter completely. Sprinkle burgers
with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Set up a grill for direct heat
and preheat to high. When ready to
cook, brush oil on the grill grate.
Grill the pancetta, if using, until
golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per
side. Transfer to a plate lined with
paper towels to drain.
4. Place the burgers on the hot
grate and season again with salt
and pepper. Grill the burgers until
cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per
side for medium. If desired, rotate
the burgers 90 degrees halfway
through cooking each side for an
attractive crosshatch of grill marks.
5. Brush the buns with the melt-
ed butter and toast on the grill for
30 seconds to 1 minute.

Steven Raichlen (Workman, 2001)
BELLO BURGER
Yield: 4 servings
1
4 cup balsamic vinegar
1
4 cup soy sauce
1
4 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil,
divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 portobello mushroom caps
(about 5 inches in diameter)
1
2 medium roasted red bell pep-
per, stemmed, skinned and
seeded
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 pinch ground red (cayenne)
pepper
4 thin slices mozzarella cheese,
optional
4 large, crusty rolls, such as
kaiser rolls
4 lettuce leaves
4 slices ripe tomato
Directions:
1. At least 30 minutes and up to 2
hours before you plan to grill,
prepare a marinade by combining
the balsamic vinegar, soy sauce,
1
4
cup olive oil and garlic in a medium
bowl. Place the mushrooms in a
plastic bag, pour the marinade into
the bag, shake to coat and let sit at
room temperature. Turn the bag
occasionally to saturate the sur-
face of the mushrooms with the
marinade.
2. Cut roasted red pepper into
several chunks and place in a food
processor or blender. Add may-
onnaise, the remaining 1 teaspoon
olive oil and cayenne pepper. Proc-
ess until pureed. Refrigerate until
serving time.
3. Prepare grill for direct heat at
medium temperature. Drain mush-
room caps, discarding marinade.
Place mushrooms, gill-side down,
on the grill. Grill uncovered for 8 to
10 minutes, turning the mushrooms
twice.
Top each with a cheese slice, if
using, after the second turn. Mean-
while, toast the rolls at the grills
edge.
4. Place the mushrooms on the
bottoms of the toasted rolls and
top with lettuce, tomato and dol-
lops of the mayonnaise. Close the
sandwiches with the top of the
buns. Serve hot.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I have
heard that your
dessert recipes are
fabulous and Id like
to have them. I saw
a column in which
you mentioned your
cookbooklets. I hope
Im correct about this, because Id
be interested in getting them. I have
your booklet of poems and essays,
which I have read and enjoyed many
times.
Would you print your personal fa-
vorite dessert recipe and let me know
how to get your cookbooklets? Warm-
est wishes to you, Abby, and thank
you for all your columns.
Anita B. in New Jersey
Dear Anita: You are welcome. Its
hard for me to choose just one recipe
because I have a notorious sweet
tooth, and my cookbooklets contain
more than a few that I have enjoyed
many times. However, because you
asked for my personal favorite, it
would be one that not only I have
enjoyed, but also one I have made for
friends as gifts Regency Brownies
With Chocolate Frosting. (Because
the recipe yields 4 1/2 dozen, I con-
fess I usually keep the extra six to
munch on myself.)
BROWNIES
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
FROSTING
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate,
finely chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line the bottom of an 18-by-12-by-2
(or 1)-inch baking pan with baking
parchment paper and spray generous-
ly with butter-flavored cooking spray.
In the top of a double boiler, over
medium heat, melt butter and 4 ounc-
es chocolate. Reserve.
In a large bowl, beat sugar and
eggs until fluffy. Add flour and salt,
mixing well. Add chocolate mixture,
blending thoroughly. Stir in nuts and
vanilla.
Pour into prepared baking pan.
(Batter should be about 1/2 inch
thick, NOT MORE.) Bake for 35 to
40 minutes, or until top is crisp and
toothpick inserted in center comes
out clean. Cool before pouring frost-
ing over the top.
For the frosting: Bring cream to
a boil, stirring constantly. Place
chopped chocolate in a medium bowl;
pour boiling cream over the chocolate
and stir to blend well. Spread thin
layer of warm frosting over top of
brownies in pan. When cool, cut into
2-inch squares.
My cookbooklet set contains not
only many crowd-pleasing recipes,
but also tips on entertaining. It can
be ordered by sending your name and
address, plus check or money order
for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby
Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447,
Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Ship-
ping and handling are included in the
price. If youre a serious chocolate
lover, these brownies will make your
toes curl, and thats a promise. With
summer coming and families gather-
ing for the holidays, nows the time
to dust off your favorite picnic and
barbecue recipes. My dessert recipes
have started many a family tradition.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Attention all chocolate lovers: Prepare to swoon over brownie recipe
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-sized, self-
addressed envelope, plus check or money
order for $3.95 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear
Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life
becomes more precious and
beautiful to you when youre
around a certain someone. This
is mainly because being around
this person heightens your
awareness and makes you slow
down and tune in.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You
have the solution to your prob-
lem. This is hard to believe in
the moments when you lack
self-confidence or feel stuck or
oppressed. Cultivate faith
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At this
point, life seems so uncertain
that you dont even want to set
goals. Take a break. Relax and
rejuvenate. Everything will feel
more joyful when you do.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). In a
sense, you are shopping for
new alliances today. Whether
what you need most is a friend,
a business partner or a romance,
be sure to choose the person,
not the credentials.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have
ideas, and now they are string-
ing themselves together in your
head to formulate an improved
vision of the future. You could be
the one to open a new heaven
for your loved ones.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Wanting
something to be finished will not
make it so. Youre well aware of
the steps involved, though mak-
ing yourself go through them will
be a challenge.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The writ-
ten word will be your most pow-
erful form of communication.
So wherever possible, put your
ideas down in writing. People
need to remember your words
and attribute them to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Stand
back and see your situation
anew. Are you handing someone
power that belongs to you? Your
self-respect is a resource. You
may have given a little of it away,
but you can get it back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A
relationship is forming. You cant
quite frame it in your mind, but
ideas and feelings are coming
together, and by the end of the
week, youll have a clear picture
of what you want to do next.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
have influence, but you wont
know about it unless you take
action. Make a move. Suddenly,
someone follows your lead.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What
you say in a group will matter
immensely. The compliments you
give people in public will mean
more than the ones you give
privately. Singing a loved ones
praises publicly is a good way to
build relationship points.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What
you want is very much in line
with all that is possible for you.
Still, you need to streamline your
efforts. Cut out the fat. Make
every attempt to be lean and
mean in your approach.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 9). You
have amazing powers of visu-
alization. Youll paint your ideal
world in words and images and
then take steps to make it real.
Youll network and put together
a lucrative deal over the next
seven weeks. A turn of events
gives you an unexpected advan-
tage in June. November brings a
journey. Pisces and Virgo people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 3, 14, 39, 1 and 18.
