WILKES-BARRE Police Chief Gerry Des-
soye on Wednesday said he doesnt like the fact
police ofcers are accepting loans of vehicles
from LAG Towing owner Leo Glodzik III, but
he is powerless to stop it unless theres evi-
dence of any improper inuence being exerted.
Dessoye said he has spoken about the issue
with the police union ofcials, who advised him
they did not believe he had the authority to dic-
tate from whom they could purchase, or accept
a loan of, a vehicle. After reviewing the union
contract and city policies, he agreed with their
interpretation.
They told me I have no say if they want to
borrow a vehicle unless I show there is some
inuence gained because of that. I looked at
the rules and regulations and they are cor-
rect, Dessoye said. Do I personally like that
fact they are doing this with LAG? No, but only
because of the microscope that LAG Towing is
under right now.

PAJU, South Korea North
Korea warned early today, Korea
time, that its military has been
cleared to attack the U.S. using
smaller, lighter and diversied
nuclear weapons, while the
U.S. said it was strengthening
protection in the region and
seeking to defuse the situation.
Despite the intense rhetoric,
analysts do not expect a nuclear
attack by North Korea, which
knows the move could trigger a
destructive, suicidal war that no
one in the region wants. Its not
believed to have the ability to
launch nuclear-tipped missiles,
but its other nuclear capabilities
arent fully known.
U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel said Washington was do-
ing all it can to defuse the situ-
ation. The Pentagon also will
deploy a missile defense system
to the U.S. Pacic territory of
Guam to strengthen regional
protection against a possible at-
tack.
The strident warning from
Pyongyang is the latest escalat-
ing threats from North Korea,
which has railed against joint
U.S. and South Korean military
exercises taking place in South
Korea and has expressed anger
over tightened sanctions for its
February nuclear test.
Acting on one of its threats,
North Korean border authori-
ties have refused to allow entry
to South Koreans who manage
jointly run factories in the North
Korean city of Kaesong. Trucks
carrying cargo and South Ko-
rean workers were turned back
Wednesday and again Thursday
morning.

WILKES-BARRE In a ma-
jor victory for law enforcement,
a state appellate court has issued
a ruling that will free police to
continue to use text messaging
to communicate with suspects
in drug cases and other crimes.
The decision, issued Tuesday
by the state Superior Court,
overturns a 2008 ruling by a
Luzerne County judge that sup-
pressed evidence against two
men who were arrested after a
police ofcer, posing an an ac-
complice, sent a text message
to one of the men relating to a
drug delivery.
The decision means county
prosecutors can now proceed
with the case against Jeffrey
Cruttenden and Stephen Lanier,
who were charged in March
2007 with conspiring to deliver
35 pounds of marijuana in Wil-
kes-Barre.
A Luzerne County prosecutor
said the ruling in the case will
have have statewide impact, as
it decided whether police of-
cers need to obtain a warrant

SWINGING INTO THE SEASON
SCRANTON Lawyers
representing Luzerne and
Lackawanna counties faced
off in court Wednesday over
who gets to keep $7.3 million
from the sale of a Triple-A
baseball franchise both coun-
ties purchased for $1 million
each in 1986.
The hearing was scheduled
before Lackawanna County
Court of Common Pleas Se-
nior Judge Richard Saxton
in Scranton to air Luzerne
Countys request for the
judge to make a decision now
instead of proceeding with
additional evidence gather-
ing and a trial.
Saxton did not issue a rul-
ing but said he is strongly
leaning toward rejecting Lu-
zerne Countys request.

Luzerne County, repeatedly

chise purchase agreement as

since 2007, the rst year the
New York Yankees Triple-A af-
liate moved into Northeastern
Pennsylvania, theres a buzz all
around the area as fans cant wait
for Opening Day to arrive to see
the brand new product.
The wait is over and a new
era of baseball in NEPA begins
tonight when the Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barre RailRiders begin play
at restructured PNC Field after
taking a season-long hiatus from
the Moosic so just about every-
thing can be re-branded.
The teams nickname changed from Yan-
kees to RailRiders going along with new
uniforms, colors, logos and new
front ofce personnel.
The biggest attraction is the
$43 million makeover project to a
stadium that once opened in 1989
modeled after numerous stadi-
ums from that time period.
And the differences can be seen
right off the bat.

WILKES-BARRE For Brit-
tany Wascavage, the decision to
become a court-appointed special
advocate in Luzerne County was
easy.
She was adoptedat a young age
by Sally Wascavage, of Kingston,
and her husband. Having gone
through the system herself, Brit-
tany Wascavage knew she could
help others, Court Appointed
Special Advocate program Direc-
tor Judith Jones said Wednesday.
The mother-daughter team
were among a total of eight area
residents sworn in Wednesday
to CASA, a program designed
to protect abused and neglected
children involved in court pro-
ceedings.
It is a great day for Luzerne
County, county Judge Tina Po-
lachek Gartley said. Were glad
to welcome everyone ofcially,
and were thrilled to have their
experience and life experiences.
The program trains volunteers
to be assigned to a child or sib-
ling group and serve in the inter-
est of those children to ensure a
safe, permanent home is found.
Dependency court is a branch
of juvenile court that deals with
placement of children who are
abused or neglected.
A judge presiding over depen-
dency court depends on court
advocates to gather information
about the abused or neglected
child or children and to moni-
tor the case from its inception
and report about progress being
made.
The program started looking
for volunteers in October, when
the initiative was announced.
Of those sworn in Wednesday,
volunteers such as Rhoda Till-
man, of Wilkes-Barre, also serve
the county on Youth Aid Panels
or like Donna Vrhel, of Dallas,
have been social workers for a
long time.
Others sworn in included
Mary-Louise Faber, of Bear
Creek; Mary Jarrett, of Plym-
outh; James Rucco, of Larksville;
and Sandy Seran, of Wilkes-
Barre.
Jones is responsible for recruit-
ing, screening and training vol-
unteers and operates CASA out
of an ofce on East Union Street
in Wilkes-Barre.
Luzerne is one of 23 counties
in the state that participate in a
CASA program.
The program in one county,
Jones has said, had a success rate
of 98 percent.
The Luzerne County program
will work toward becoming a
nonprot organization over the
next year, Jones has said.
We hope to continue to build
our volunteer base, Polachek
Gartley said, in hopes that ev-
ery child (in dependency court)
will benet from having a court-
appointed special advocate.
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge on Wednes-
day ruled changes Wilkes-Barre
Township Mayor Carl Kuren
made to the work schedules of
township police ofcers will
take affect April 8.
Judge Thomas Burkes ruling
came after a hearing in which
the Wilkes-Barre Township
Police Benevolent Association
sought to have the schedule
changes stopped, stating they
are a violation of the unions
contract.
Attorney Richardson Todd
Egan, who represents the
union, called several police of-
cers to testify about the hard-
ships they would encounter if
they were required to work the
new schedule, which calls for
every full-time ofcer to work
within a platoon and work
one of three different shifts ev-
ery week.
Under Kurens proposal, the
schedule changes would take ef-
fect April 8.
Lt. Charles Dyanick testied
he and his soon-to-be ex-wife
have a child custody arrange-
ment, and he would be unable
to see his children for weeks at
a time under the newschedule.
Sgt. Tom Elick also testied
and said he and his wife would
have a problem getting their
child to day care in the morn-
ing. Ofcer Mark Hampton said
he suffers from type 2 diabetes
and adheres to a strict medica-
tion schedule.
Ofcer James Reh testied
he and his wife, ofcer Lee Ann
Reh, who also works for the
township, would work opposite
shifts under the new schedule
and have opposite days off, leav-
ing them struggling to provide
care for their children.
Union Vice President Robert
Capparell said the 14 full-time
ofcers currently work swing,
rst, and second shifts, and spe-
cic ofcers permanently work
a third shift. Ofcers can choose
specic shifts to work by bid-
ding on them. Shifts are then
awarded by seniority.
Egan argued Kuren decided
to make the schedule changes
only after the union and town-
ship were unable to come to
agreement on the unions pro-
posed contracts.
The ofcers contracts are
currently in arbitration. A griev-
ance was also led in relation to
the schedule changes.
Jack Dean, an attorney for the
township, argued the union can-
not run to the court system
every time there is a dispute
with a contract and that ofcers
are already working around the
clock.
Dean said there is nothing
stopping ofcers from continu-
ing to bid on shifts as outlined
in their contracts.
We dont care who works
what shift, Dean said, as
long as we have the protection
of the citizens.
Kuren testied he decided to
make the schedule changes af-
ter no full-time ofcers worked
on particular days and only
part-timers were on the clock.
The problemwith that, Kuren
said, is that part-timers do not
have access to a gun locker.
Therefore, he said, a full-timer
should be on every shift.
The new schedule changes,
Kuren said, would allowfor that
and the safety of residents.
My main concern is for the
citizens and protection of the
public, Kuren said. This way,
there is always a full-time (of-
cer) on duty.
Burke said in his ruling the
ofcers contracts clearly state
changes to scheduling may be
made by the chief of police or
the mayor.
W-B Township police union request denied
Ofcers sought to stop Mayor
Carl Kuren from changing
their schedules.

Luzerne County Judge Tina Polachek Gartley swears in Mary-Louise Faber to the CASA program
while judges Jennifer Rogers and Lesa Gelb watch Wednesday.
WEST PITTSTON Bor-
ough Council approved a grant
agreement on Tuesday night be-
tween the state Department of
Education and the borough for
renovation and expansion of the
West Pittston Library.
Resident Bob Shive lauded
the boroughs effort to improve
the library, but also encouraged
council to pursue any available
grants available for reinforce-
ment of its levee system. If we
are going to put money into im-
proving West Pittston, we need
to protect it from any future
ooding, he said.
Judy Aita, president of
Pittston Township Tomorrow,
said she was excited that 10
young men and women from
AmeriCorps-FEMA are in the
area for two months to assist
in ood recovery. AmeriCorps,
whose motto is Do good work,
and do it well, would provide
youthful energy and enthusi-
asm necessary to strengthen the
community, Aita said.
Pittston Township Tomor-
rows projects include a com-
munity garden, using for-
merly ooded areas to benet
residents.
In another matter, council ap-
proved an agreement with the
Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation for provision of
street sweeping services on state
highways within the borough.
Council also approved a trafc
study regarding the designation
of Third Street as a one way.
Councilman Pete Musinski
announced a park cleanup proj-
ect for 9 a.m. Saturday. Leader-
ship Wilkes-Barre will be assist-
ing with the project.
Also approved was a lease/
purchase agreement with Com-
munity First National Bank for
the nancing of the purchase
of an SUV for the police depart-
ment.
Mayor Anthony Denisco en-
couraged borough residents to
watch speed and stop signs, as
the warm weather means more
area residents are out walking,
including many juveniles. Park-
ing regulations would be en-
forced by the police department,
he said.
Wilkes-Barre Area
looks for savings
WILKES-BARRE Wilkes-
Barre Area School Board mem-
bers looked to possible changes
in transportation spending
more than $4 million a year
as they continued trying to plug
a $1.7 million shortfall in next
years budget.
The board also talked of a 10
percent cut in spending on sup-
plies, and how retirements and
changing the reading program
could affect costs during a bud-
get and nance meeting Wednes-
day.
Business Manager Leonard
Przywara said the $1.7 million
gure was derived by compar-
ing projected costs to this years
spending, but he added an im-
portant caveat. This years bud-
get actually had a $2.3 million
shortfall that was covered by
drawing money from a fund bal-
ance or surplus.
Combine that with the $1.7
million and the real gap between
income and revenue next year is
about $4 million.
While the fund balance still
hovers between $6 million and
$7 million, we cant keep go-
ing back to that, Przywara said.
Eventually, there wont be any
left.
Board Member Maryanne
Toole also pointed out the fund
balance is intended as a rainy
day fund in case some major un-
expected cost arises.
Board President John Quinn
suggested the district can save
money by streamlining trans-
portation routes and doing
some work in-house the dis-
trict only recently eliminated a
handful of bus routes it used to
handle; the bulk of the work is
contracted out.
Quinn suggested either buy-
ing vans or using buses the dis-
trict still owns that are sitting
idle and have not yet been sold.
Board Member Dino Galella
said that, when he was a prin-
cipal in the district, they would
sometimes rent vans for trips by
small groups, at a considerable
savings.
Przywara said there may be up
to seven retirements this year,
though only two are denite.
The district could save money
by not replacing retirees or by re-
placing them with new workers
starting near the bottom of the
pay scale.
But Przywara also said the dis-
trict is looking at up to $400,000
to switch to a new reading pro-
gram, costs that so far are being
spread out over several years,
with the district piloting the new
program this year for a small
cost and paying more later if the
program is fully adopted.
The district is also looking at
about $160,000 to acquire new
school administrative software
from Skyward Inc., a purchase
made necessary because the soft-
ware currently being used is no
longer supported, Pzywara said.
Skyward has agreed to spread
that cost out, charging $24,000
the rst year and $69,000 each of
the following two years.
Quinn and others complained
of unfunded mandates, in-
cluding special education costs.
While state law sets the rules
as to what services the district
must provide, it provides only
about $3 million toward the $13
million the district spends, Przy-
wara said.
Toole said the board is in a
time crunch and that such
budget scrutiny needs to occur
year-round. Under state law, the
district must adopt a preliminary
budget by the end of May and a
nal budget by June 30.
School Board seeks ways to
save on transportation and
retirement costs.

FORTY FORT A man al-
legedly struck three vehicles
with his vehicle, yet continued
driving for more than two miles
on only three tires before police
stopped him in a neighboring
municipality on Wednesday.
The man, who is in his mid
50s, was driving south on
Wyoming Avenue in the area
of Dennison and Rose streets
shortly after 2:10 p.m. when his
vehicle struck the vehicle of a
man driving north, Forty Fort
Police Chief Daniel Hunsinger
said.
The SUV then crossed into
the northbound lanes and
struck two parked vehicles
one of them a mail truck be-
fore returning to a southbound
lane, the chief said.
The driver then continued
on Wyoming Avenue through
Forty Fort and partway through
Kingston about 2.5 miles
before Kingston police stopped
him near Bank of America at
James Street, Hunsinger said.
Hunsinger declined to re-
lease the mans name on
Wednesday night. The man
showed no signs of alcohol in-
toxication but was taking pre-
scription medication, Hunsing-
er said. Police are investigating
to determine if the incident was
a result of a medical issue.

Wilkes-Barre to request funds
this month; public comment
accepted for 30 days.
WILKES-BARRE The city
moved a step closer to request-
ing the use of hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars in federal funds
for the demolition of the vacant
Hotel Sterling.
The request, to be made by
April 22, follows a nding that
the demolition will have no
signicant impact on the human
environment, according to a
legal advertisement printed in
area newspapers, including The
Times Leader, on Wednesday.
As a result of the determina-
tion, a request will be sent to
the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development for ap-
proval of the use of Community
Development Block Grant funds
budgeted to the city for removal
of blighted properties.
Drew McLaughlin, adminis-
trative coordinator for the city,
said a previous environmental
study was updated and deter-
mined there were no substan-
tive environmental issues that
need to be abated.
The publication of the legal
ad began a 30-day public com-
ment period on the plans to
bring down the building listed
on the National Register of His-
toric Places.
I would anticipate public
comments probably in the same
vein weve heard for years,
McLaughlin said, adding theyre
not likely to rise to the level to
overturn the reports of two in-
dependent structural engineers
that the building is unsafe and
should come down.
Previously prepared environ-
mental review records can be
reviewed at the Ofce of Eco-
nomic and Community Devel-
opment at City Hall and used as
the basis for comments that can
be submitted to the ofce. Com-
ments received by April 19 will
be considered by the city before
it makes its request for HUD

LEHMAN TWP. A fa-
ther killed his son before tak-
ing his own life inside their
Summit Street home near
Lake Silkworth, township po-
lice ofcer Mark Liparela and
Luzerne County Acting Coro-
ner William Lisman said.
Lisman identied the fa-
ther as Robert Stolarick Sr.,
54, and his son as Robert Jr.,
26.
Liparela said they were
found in a bedroom at 5 Sum-
mit St., with the younger
Stolarick in bed wrapped in a
sheet at about noon Wednes-
day. A handgun was found in
the bedroom.
Lisman said the father and
son each died from single
gunshot wounds.
Stolaricks sister, Donna
Estus, said her brother had
mental issues but was ne
over the Easter holiday until
Monday, when he received
a phone call. Estus said that
after the call, her brothers
mood changed and he began
talking about his late wife,
Catherine, and believing
someone was going to take
his son.
Catherine Stolarick was 32
years old when she was killed
in a crash involving a drunk-
en driver on Interstate 81 in
Plains Town-
ship on Dec.
29, 1994.
A Luzerne

c o nv i c t e d
a Scranton
man for
causing the
crash while
drunk. He
was sentenced to four to eight
years in state prison in April
1996, according to court re-
cords.
Lisman said Stolarick was
last seen by a family member
on Tuesday. He could not say
if the shootings happened
Tuesday or Wednesday morn-
ing.
Liparela said a family mem-
ber discovered the elder Sto-
laricks body and called 911
just before noon
Estus said Stolaricks girl-
friend, Rosie Higgins, went
to the house because she had
not heard from him since
Tuesday.

WYOMING Hoping to dispel mis-
conceptions about the nature of a natural
gas pipeline gate station, UGI Utilities
ofcials held a press tour at their Monu-
ment Gate Station on
Wednesday to explain its
function and security.
Gate stations and com-
pressor stations are two of
the most common struc-
tures built along pipelines
to assist in moving natural
gas. While compressor stations propel
the gas through the network of pipelines
that cut through the country, gate and/
or metering stations host the intersec-
tions of the crisscrossing lines.
As part of the pending Auburn Pipe-
line construction, UGI Utilities applied
to the state Public Utilities Commission
last month to install a gate station where
the new pipeline is to meet the existing
Transco Pipeline.
The Monument Gate Station, built
sometime in the 1950s next to the Wyo-
ming Monument off Wyoming Avenue,
reduces pressure fromthe Transco the
interstate line that begins near the Texas
coastline and travels up to NewYork City
from about 1,100 pounds-per square
inch to about 60 psi, a pressure suitable
for distribution to consumers.
You need a station to connect, to
measure pressure and to regulate (the
ow of natural gas), said Joe Swope,
UGI Utilities communications manager.
Thats literally all these stations are for.
Swope said the West Wyoming meter-
ing station would be used to measure
UGI Energy Services gas purchased from
drillers in Wyoming County and sent
down the Auburn Pipeline to where it
connects with the Transco.
The only difference between the pro-
posed station and the (Monument Sta-
tion is that) were going to take the gas
from the Auburn Pipeline, meter that,
put it into Transco and take it back out
about a mile down the line (for consum-
er distribution), Swope said.
The nearly 30-mile Auburn line is be-
ing laid by UGI Energy Services. UGI
Energy Services and UGI Utilities, in-
cluding Penn Natural Gas, are sister
companies.
Although the Monument Station is
equipped with pressure-reducing regula-
tors, the proposed station, which must
allow gas to move uninhibited into the
Transco, will have a control valve that
can be activated remotely, said UGI Utili-
ties Project Manager Bruce Davis.

Bruce Davis, a project manager for UGI, explains how natural gas moves
from high to low pressure at the Monument Gate Station located on Wyo-
ming Avenue, Wyoming, on Wednesday.

Author heeds higher call to save war stories
WILKES-BARRE As a
youth, Adam Makos spent
his summers on Blytheburn
Lake listening to his grandfa-
thers stories of World War II.
Makos must have listened
intently because the impres-
sionable young boy now
31 has published his sec-
ond book,Voices of the Pa-
cic, and his rst offering is
number 6 on the New York
Times Bestsellers list.
A Higher Call, the story
of two ghter pilots an
American and a German
was released in December
and continues to climb the
bestsellers list.
My grandfathers both
served during WWII and
inspired me to take inter-
est in that black-and-white
era of theirs, Makos said.
In doing so, I discovered
the Greatest Generation at
an early age and have been
forever changed. Ive been
writing WWII stories since
I went to middle school, in
Montoursville. So its been
16 years now, and Im still
nding new heroes with sto-
ries we need to hear.
Makos two grandfathers
Michael Makos, 88, a na-
tive of Plymouth now resid-
ing in Mountain Top, and
Francis Pansili, 87, of Au-
burn, N.Y. have inspired
him to write stories of World
War II veterans to preserve
their history and their impor-
tance to all Americans.
Michael Makos is sched-
uled to join his grandson for
a book signing beginning at
7 tonight at Barnes & Noble
in the Arena Hub Plaza.
I can almost track the
moment I started on this
journey, Makos said. I
remember we would y re-
mote-controlled aircraft and
build plastic models and go
to air show at the (Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton) airport.
Makos said he was in the
eighth grade when his inter-
est in World War II peaked.
From there, preserving the

NEW YORK NBC on Wednesday an-
nounced its long-rumored switch in late
night, replacing Jay Leno at the Tonight
show with Jimmy Fallon and moving the
iconic franchise back to New York.
Fallon will take over in about a year,
the switch coinciding with NBCs
Winter Olympics coverage next year.
Veteran Saturday Night Live producer
Lorne Michaels also will take over as
executive producer of Tonight.
NBC made no announcement on who
would replace Fallon at the 12:35 a.m.
Late Night slot, although Seth Meyers
of Saturday Night Live is considered a
strong candidate.
The change at Tonight, the longest-
running and most popular late-night
talk show, had been widely reported
but not conrmed by the network
until Wednesday. NBC reportedly just
wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on
a contract extension.
Steve Burke, chief executive ofcer
of NBC Universal, said the network is
purposefully making the move when
Leno is still at the top of the ratings, just
as when Leno replaced Johnny Carson at
Tonight in 1992.
Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and
this is his time, Burke said.
Leno, in a statement, offered his con-
gratulations to Fallon.
I hope youre as lucky as me and
hold on to the job until youre the old
guy, he said. If you need me, Ill be at
the garage.
Fallon said: Im really excited to host a
show that starts today instead of tomor-
row.
NBC has been quietly building a
new studio for Fallon at its Rockefeller
Center headquarters. Tonight began
in New York in the 1950s, but Carson
moved it to California in 1972. Starting
next year, Fallon, Letterman, Jon Stew-
art and Stephen Colbert will tape late-
night shows in New York. ABCs Jimmy
Kimmel and TNTs Conan OBrien will
be the top California-based shows.
While a storied part of television
tradition, the network late-night shows
nd themselves with much more com-
petition now with cable programs such
as Adult Swim, smaller talk shows
hosted by the Comedy Central duo of
Stewart and Colbert, Chelsea Handler
and a device a large number of peo-
ple take that time to watch programs
they had taped earlier on their DVRs.
NBC is worried that ABCs Kimmel
will establish himself as a go-to late
night performer for a younger genera-
tion if the network doesnt move swiftly
to install Fallon. ABC moved Kimmels
time slot to directly compete with Leno
earlier this year.
BEIRUT Syrian rebels captured a
military base in the countrys south on
Wednesday after days of heavy ghting,
activists said, in the latest advance by
opposition ghters near the strategic
border area with Jordan.
Opposition ghters battling Presi-
dent Bashar Assads troops have been
chipping away at the regimes hold on
the southern part of the country in re-
cent weeks with the help of an inux
of foreign-funded weapons. Their aimis
to secure a corridor from the Jordanian
border to Damascus in preparation for
an eventual assault on the capital.
The Britain-based Syrian Observa-
tory for Human Rights said the rebels
seized the air defense base, home to
the Syrian armys 49th battalion, on
the outskirts of the city of Daraa, the
birthplace of the countrys uprising,
on Wednesday after battling Assads
troops in the area for several days.
The capture follows a string of other
rebel victories in the southern province
of Daraa, a largely agricultural region
predominantly populated by Sunnis.
Last month, opposition ghters seized
Dael, one of the provinces bigger
towns, and overran another air defense
base in the region.
An amateur video posted online
Wednesday showed what appeared to
be rebels from the Suqour Houran, or
Eagles of Houran brigade, driving an
armored personnel carrier inside the
base of the 49th battalion.
Another video, posted by the Fajr
al-Islam brigade, showed the rebels
walking around the base as the heavy
thud of incoming artillery rounds red
by nearby regime forces is heard in
the background. A destroyed rocket,
army trucks and radars are seen on the
ground inside the base.

WASHINGTON
Obama trims his salary
P
resident Barack Obama will return
5 percent of his salary each month
to the Treasury in a show of solidarity
with federal workers smarting from
government-wide spending cuts, the
White House said Wednesday.
Obamas decision grew out of a
desire to share in the sacrice that
government employees are making,
said a White House ofcial, who was
not authorized to discuss the decision
publicly and spoke on condition of
anonymity. Hundreds of thousands of
workers could be forced to take unpaid
leave known as furloughs if
Congress does not reach an agreement
to undo the cuts.
A 5 percent cut from the presidents
salary of $400,000 per year amounts to
$1,667 per month. The move will be
retroactive to the March 1 the day
the cuts started to kick in and will
remain in effect for the rest of 2013,
the White House ofcial said.

Sheriff slain near courthouse
A sheriff known for cracking down

Wednesday in the spot where he usu-

ofcial said, and a suspect was in
custody.
State police told Gov. Earl Ray Tom-
blin that Mingo County Sheriff Eugene
Crum died of his wounds, said Tom-
blins chief of staff, Rob Alsop. The
suspect, who was also shot, was taken
to a hospital in Logan, Alsop said.
The shooting occurred within a
block of the county courthouse, said
Ofce of Emergency Services head
dispatcher Willis Spence.
HOUSTON
Security heightened for DAs
After two Texas prosecutors were
slain in two months, law enforcement
agencies across the state are trying to
better protect attorneys who go after
violent criminals.
Some top prosecutors have already
received round-the-clock security
details. Others are withholding some
personal information from public
records.
But current and former prosecutors
acknowledge that nothing will ever
entirely eliminate the inherent risk of
confronting societys most dangerous
offenders in the courtroom.
Former Houston prosecutor Clay
Rawlings received a death threat in
1984 from a tattoo-covered 19-year-
old year charged with murder. The
experience, he said, made him very
motivated to make damn sure that guy
is never getting out.

Kerry to revisit Middle East
Evoking the U.S. shuttle diplomacy
of decades past, Secretary of State
John Kerry is making his third trip to
the Middle East in a span of only two
weeks in a fresh bid to restart long-
stalled peace talks between Israel and
the Palestinians.
Though expectations are low for any
breakthrough on Kerrys trip, which
begins Saturday, his meetings with Is-
raeli and Palestinian leaders represent
some of the Obama administrations
most sustained efforts at engagement,
a renewed determination in a part of
the world that has frustrated Ameri-
can administrations for the past six
decades.
Kerry is going at a precarious time.

Study:
Dementia
costliest
disease
Cancer and heart disease are
bigger killers, but Alzheimers
is the most expensive malady in
the United States, costing fami-
lies and society $157 billion to
$215 billion a year, according to
a newstudy that looked at this in
unprecedented detail.
The biggest cost of Alzheim-
ers and other types of demen-
tia isnt drugs or other medical
treatments, but the care thats
needed just to get mentally im-
paired people through daily life,
the nonprot RAND Corp.s
study found.
It also gives what experts say
is the most reliable estimate
for how many Americans have
dementia around 4.1 mil-
lion. Thats less than the widely
cited 5.2 million estimate from
the Alzheimers Association,
which comes from a study that
included people with less severe
impairment.
The bottom line here is the
same: Dementia is among the
most costly diseases to society,
and we need to address this if
were going to come to terms
with the cost to the Medicare
and Medicaid system, said Mat-
thew Baumgart, senior director
of public policy at the Alzheim-
ers Association.
Dementias direct costs, from
medicines to nursing homes,
are $109 billion a year in 2010
dollars, the new RAND report
found. That compares to $102
billion for heart disease and $77
billion for cancer. Informal care
by family members and others
pushes dementias total even
higher, depending on how that
care and lost wages are valued.
The informal care costs are
substantially higher for demen-
tia than for cancer or heart con-
ditions, said Michael Hurd, a
RAND economist who led the
study. It was sponsored by the
governments National Institute
on Aging and will be published
in todays New England Journal
of Medicine.
Alzheimers is the most com-
mon form of dementia and the
sixth leading cause of death in
the United States. Dementia also
can result from a stroke or other
diseases. It is rapidly growing
in prevalence as the population
ages.
Current treatments only tem-
porarily ease symptoms and
dont slow the disease.
Patients live four to eight
years on average after an Al-
zheimers diagnosis, but some
live 20 years. By age 80, about 75
percent of people with Alzheim-
ers will be in a nursing home
compared with only 4 percent of
the general population, the Al-
zheimers group says.
Daily care of Alzheimers
patients exceeds price of
drugs, treatments.

Scientists think theyve found hint of cosmos dark matter
GENEVA A $2 billion
cosmic ray detector on the
International Space Station
has found the footprint of
something that could be dark
matter, the mysterious sub-
stance that is believed to hold
the cosmos together but has
never been directly observed,
scientists say.
But the rst results from
the Alpha Magnetic Spec-
trometer, known by its acro-
nym AMS, are almost as enig-
matic as dark matter itself.
They show evidence of
new physics phenomena that
could be the strange and un-
known dark matter or could
be energy that originates from
pulsars, scientists at the Euro-
pean particle physics labora-
tory near Geneva announced
Wednesday.
The results from the de-
tector are signicant, be-
cause dark matter is thought
to make up about a quarter
of all the matter in the uni-
verse.
Unraveling the mystery of
dark matter could help sci-
entists better understand the
composition of our universe
and, more particularly, what
holds galaxies together.
Nobel-winning physicist
Samuel Ting, who leads the
team, told colleagues at the
European Organization for
Nuclear Research, known as
CERN, that he expects a more
conclusive answer within
months about this unexpect-
ed new phenomena.
The 7-ton detector, which
was sent into space two years
ago and has a 3-footmagnet
ring at its core, is transmit-
ting the data to CERN on the
Swiss-French border, where it
is being analyzed.
The instrument will search
for antimatter and dark mat-
ter for the rest of the life of the
space station at least until
2020 transmitting data to
an international team of 600
scientists based in Geneva
that is led by Ting, a physicist
at the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology.
The ndings Wednesday
are based on seeing an ex-
cess of positrons positively
charged subatomic particles.
Months-long analysis need-
ed before conclusive report
on mysterious substance.

Jimmy Fallon will inherit The Tonight Show next year
when the shows studio returns to New York City.
ber, he said. Not many young
people have a burning interest
in World War II and its heroes.
Makos and his siblings all
were exposed to these heroes
at an early age and learned to
appreciate them. Then we
started on this mission to pre-
serve their stories, he said.
The ranks are fading away,
he said. Most are in their late
80s or early 90s. We see how
important their stories are and
we want them preserved so
they can be appreciated by fu-
ture generations.
When Valor Studios Inc., a
publisher of military artwork
and a history magazine owned
by the Makos family, began
publishing its newsletter, Mi-
chael Makos, Adams grandfa-
ther, was the rst subject he
wrote about.
Voices of the Pacic is a
very different book from A
Higher Call, he said. Its proof
that all war stories dont have
a happy ending, he said, yet
they can still be incredibly
powerful.
A Higher Call was very
much a story of chivalry and
mercy, Makos said. Voices of
the Pacic is about Marines
and how they became stronger,
like supermen, as the hard-
ships they faced became more
brutal and more exhausting.
The Valor Studios website
said this about Voice of the
Pacic: These are the sto-
ries from 15 WWII Marines,
compiled by Adam Makos and
Marcus Brotherton, but left
unltered and in the words of
the Marines who were there.
Uninching, brutal, and relent-
less, Voices of the Pacic will
leave a reader gasping for air
and dumbstruck in awe of the
old heroes who won the Pacic
war with bare hands, bayonets,
and guts.

Police talk with family Wednesday outside the home of Robert Stolarick in Lehman Township,
where he and his son were found to have died from gunshot wounds.
She didnt want to see some-
thing, Estus said. She came
and knocked on the door and
he didnt answer, and the door
wasnt locked. It was always
locked.
Estus and Robert Stolarick
Sr.s father, John Stolarick, 73,
of Dallas, said he was a mechan-
ic at a garage in Dallas.
John Stolarick said his sons
supervisor called him and told
him something was going on at
his sons house.
I said Is it carbon monox-
ide? and he said, No, its some-
thing worse, John Stolarick
said, noting his son had a coal
stove in the house.
John Stolarick said he last
saw his son and grandson
around Christmas time, ex-
plaining he did not have a close
relationship with his son.
He was hard to get along
with; sometimes you get a stub-
born streak, John Stolarick
said.
Lisman said no autopsies will
be performed.
He was an awesome dad; his
son was his life, Estus said.
At a gate station, the pipes
come up from the ground, run
through regulators and gauges to
measure ow and then go back
into the ground. Most gate sta-
tions are enclosed to keep these
components out of the weather.
Davis said that as part of regular
safety measures, all components
are taken apart and inspected an-
nually.
Swope said the proposed
pipeline and gate should result
in nearly $3 million in savings
to the distribution area because
UGI will not have to pay to move
gas across the country. He could
not specify how the savings will
translate to individual customers
because many things affect what
consumers pay, including vola-
tile gas rates. If nothing else, the
station will aid price stability, he
said.
Swope said the pipeline should
reduce transportation costs,
which account for about one-
third of the sticker price for gas.
When you can get local sup-
ply, youre saving consumers
money, Swope said.
Youre going to see a lot more
stability in the price of gas for
the foreseeable future.

to cover the costs of the previous
low bid from last year. McLaugh-
lin estimated the work will cost
between $450,000 and $500,000.
Were going to put it to bid
again, he said.
The city, citing public safety
and nancial reasons, has been
working for months to obtain
HUD approval and proceed in-
dependently of the county and
the propertys nonprot owner,
CityVest, to raze the building
after at least $7 million in gov-
ernment funding was spent on
the site once eyed for develop-
ment.
The demolition of the down-
town building thats been vacant
since 1998 has been on hold
while the county and CityVest
have been at odds over the own-
ers insistence that it be released
from legal claims that could
arise from the project.
STERLING
Exeter ponders equipment purchases
EXETER Borough Coun-
cil voted during Tuesdays
meeting to move forward on
voting for potential equipment
purchases as a member of the
West Side Council of Govern-
ments.
The West Side COG, a still-
forming band of potentially 12
to 15 community governments
cooperating to cost-effectively
provide services, has been able
to obtain $460,000 in state
funding for the purchase of
major pieces of equipment.
Any related expenses be-
yond $460,000 will be split
among the involved communi-
ties in a manner yet to be de-
termined.
Of the several items men-
tioned for possible purchase,
Exeter ofcials identied their
priorities as a vacuum truck
used to clean stormsewers and
drains, a vacuum street sweep-
er and a compost screener.
Several borough ofcials
shared their concerns over
possible insurance liability and
employee contract restrictions
when the municipal employees
are doing work outside of the
employing municipality.
The rules and bylaws of the
COG are still being nalized.
Exeter solicitor Ray Hassey
shared his opinion that any
conicts would be worked out
by the respective communities
before any party enters into a
formal agreement.
In other matters, council
member Larry Dellegrotto
stated that 2013 nances
are looking, pretty good so
far. He attributed a roughly
$30,000 discrepancy in the
numbers to awaited tax fund-
ing. All departments reviewed,
he explained, are on their an-
ticipated tracks.
Following a hotly contested
budget crisis at the end of
2012, several council members
pledged to regularly, proac-
tively scrutinize the budget in
order to avoid a replay at the
end of this year.
W h AT S N E X T
Exeter Council is scheduled to
meet at 7 p.m. May 7.

DALLAS TWP. Township su-
pervisors heard concerns Tuesday
night about vandalism and im-
proper use of the township park.
Police Chief Robert Jolley said
there had been complaints about
people in the park at night after
the park had
closed. And
Ro a d ma s t e r
Martin Barry
said there had
been vandalism
to park prop-
erty as recently
as last week.
Barry proposed that the town-
ship close the park entrance on
Sago Street. All vehicular trafc
to the park would then come in
via Southside Avenue.
Supervisors agreed to the plan
and asked Tom Doughton, who
represents the townships engi-
neering rm of Douglas F Trom-
bower and Associates, to look into
obtaining the necessary permits.
Vice Chairwoman Liz Martin
received the go-ahead from the
other two supervisors to research
either renovating the township
building or constructing a new
one. Martin cited problems with
the building including insufcient
space and possible safety issues.
She also said Pittston recently
received a $1 million grant from
gaming monies and that part of
the funds would be used for a mu-
nicipal building.
Martin wanted to look into ap-
plying for gaming funds for the
project and added, I dont want
to incur any debt.
In other matters:
All three supervisors agreed
that a request by DAMA to devel-
op a municipal waste operation on
a parcel along Old Tunkhannock
Highway was not a project they
could support.
Supervisors are requesting
input from towing contractors
who might be interested in work-
ing with the township on a towing
plan comparable to the ones in
Hanover Township and Kingston.

W-B Twp. faces
steep increases
in insurance rates
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
Council Business Administrator
Michael Revitt said Monday that
the township has renewed its in-
surance contracts for the upcom-
ing year at a considerable increase
in rates over 2012.
Due to new state regulations re-
garding workers compensation in-
surance and the townships recent
exposure to substantial claims by
township employees, Revitt said,
rates for next year would increase
by $20,000.
Revitt said rates for property
and casualty coverage had de-
creased by nearly $8,000 for the
upcoming year to help offset some
of the increase.
In other business, council ap-
proved a proposal by Mayor Carl
Kuren to explore hiring a part-time
director of public safety.
The director would be respon-
sible for auditing the performance
of all township agencies and em-
ployees and would report directly
to the mayor.
Kuren said the part-time posi-
tion initially would require the
new director to work 20 hours per
week.

charged Wednesday with receiv-
ing more than $25,000 in unem-
ployment compensation while he
worked two jobs.
Mark Charles Thomas, 52,
whose last known address is North
Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilkes-
Barre, was charged by Luzerne
County detectives with theft, tam-
pering with public records and
unsworn falsication to authori-
ties. He was arraigned by District
Judge Martin Kane in Wilkes-Barre
and released on $10,000 unsecured
bail.
Thomas was employed at Mo-
torWorld in Wilkes-Barre and En-
tercom Communications as a disc
jockey for 102.3 FM, The Mountain
radio station. His prole appears
on the radio stations website.
According to the criminal com-
plaint:
Thomas led an unemployment
claim via the Internet on July 9,
2010, and was
awarded $226
per week. Thom-
as renewed the
unemployment
claim in Janu-
ary 2011 and re-
ceived $230 per
week.
An unemploy-
ment compensation interviewer in
July 2011 discovered Thomas sig-
nicantly under-reported earnings
from MotorWorld on MotorWorld
Drive, Wilkes-Barre, and Entercom
Communications on state Route
315, Pittston Township, the com-
plaint says.
The two companies completed
an unemployment reviewformlist-
ing Thomas earnings in 2010 and
2011.
Detectives claim Thomas was
overpaid unemployment compen-
sation in the amount of $25,631.
Thomas declined comment to
reporters after he was arraigned.
A preliminary hearing is sched-
uled for April 11.

Council questions mans true identity
Luzerne County Councilman
Rick Morelli has requested infor-
mation on a council audit com-
mittee member who has been
using the pseudonym Therman
Guamp.
The resident also regularly
speaks out at council meetings
and served on an interview panel
that recommended budget and
nancial services division head -
nalists to county Manager Robert
Lawton.
Councilman Edward Bromin-
ski questioned the citizens use
of two names during Tuesdays
council meeting, identifying the
man as Charles Olah. The man
declined to provide his real name
and said he uses the Therman
Guamp pseudonym because his
family expressed safety concerns
when he started publicly question-
ing county government activities
years ago.
Citing the need for transpar-
ency, Morelli said in an email to
council that he wants to know
who he is and what his back-
ground is because the resident
has been screening applicants and
providing opinions on audit mat-
ters.
In my opinion, Therman needs
to disclose all of his information,
wrote Morelli. If not, then I am
suggesting he is taken off of the
audit committee.
In response to Morellis request,
the council clerk supplied a re-
sume under Guamps name that
says he has a masters degree in
business administration from
Rochester Institute of Technology
and has worked as a management
consultant for New Hampshire-
based Protability and Productiv-
ity Associates since 1990.
The man also held management
positions at several major compa-
nies from 1973 through 1990, the
resume says.
The council clerk told council
members the man has indicated
he might pursue legal action if his
resume is made public.
Morelli said resumes from peo-
ple who serve on councils audit
committee should not be con-
dential. Citizens must submit re-
sumes if theyre interested in serv-
ing on outside county boards and
authorities, he said.
I dont see any difference, Mo-
relli said. If he les a lawsuit, he
will have to reveal who he really is.
Lawton, Morelli and other
council members said they had
no idea Therman Guamp was a
pseudonym.
Council Chairman Tim McGin-
ley said the audit committee ap-
pointment is under review. The
audit committee, which helps in
the selection screening of county
auditors, is not handling any coun-
ty matters at this time, he said.

reason Luzerne County should
receive $7.3 million, or half the
$14.6 million paid when the
New York Yankees and Mandalay
Baseball Properties bought the
franchise through their joint SWB
Yankees LLC venture a year ago.
The 1986 agreement says the
two counties shall share equally
in the distribution of any such
proceeds if the franchise is sold
after the Lackawanna County
Multi-Purpose Stadium Author-
ity receives up to $345,000 for its
cost to bring the franchise here.
Murray pointed to the use of
the word any before proceeds.
What else could that mean?
he said.
Murray said the contract al-
lows only one rational interpre-
tation and accused Lackawanna
of violating every canon of con-
tract law by refusing to turn over
$7.3 million.
Theyre trying to rewrite the
contract through the back door,
Murray said.
Lackawanna attorney James
Doherty implored the judge to re-
ject the request for an immediate
ruling, saying Luzerne is asking
him to hand over $7.3 million
without additional evidence dis-
covery.
Lackawanna led a counter
suit arguing Luzerne County isnt
entitled to any proceeds and owes
Lackawanna millions of dollars
for past baseball stadium repairs.
Doherty said the 1986 agree-
ment was completed in the 11th
hour and is only three pages,
compared to typical agreements
that would be at least 25 pages
with explicit denitions of termi-
nology such as proceeds.
He argued the agreement
means net proceeds after stadi-
um repairs, not gross proceeds as
maintained by Luzerne County.
Doherty said a deposition veri-
ed county ofcials never dis-
cussed specics on net or gross
proceeds in 1986.
That bothered me when I read
that, the judge said.
Doherty said Luzerne must
prove the agreement is so clear
that no discovery is needed for a
judge to issue a ruling now.
Theres no way possible you
could come to this conclusion,
Doherty said.
The two sides also disagreed
on Lackawannas assertion that
Luzerne is owed nothing because
it didnt help pay for stadium re-
pairs over the past 25 years.
Murray said Luzerne County
never had a legal or contractual
obligation to fund the stadium,
which is located in Moosic, Lack-
awanna County. He said Lacka-
wannas arguments that this fail-
ure to support the stadium was
not fair are political or policy
statements with no legal basis.
Luzerne County didnt benet
from Lackawannas stadium in-
vestments because no franchise
or stadium operation prots
came to Luzerne County, he said.
Luzerne County also had no say
in who received stadium jobs, he
noted.
Stadium authority attorney
Frank Tunis described Murrays
stance as absurd, saying there
would be no franchise without
stadium repairs. The authority
also was named in the suit.
The International League,
which oversees Triple-A fran-
chises, had threatened to revoke
the local franchise two years ago
if eld drainage issues were not
addressed, Tunis said. Though
it wasnt obligated, Lackawanna
County funded repairs to protect
the franchise for both counties
while Luzerne County stood
passively on the sidelines refus-
ing to provide funding, he said.
Now theyre coming to the
table with their hand out, Tunis
said, referring to Luzerne Coun-
ty. The stadium and franchise
coexist.
The stadiums $43 million re-
construction and team the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRid-
ers are part of a regional ef-
fort that benets Luzerne Coun-
ty, he said.
Saxton said he will issue a rul-
ing soon because he believes the
litigation has languished too
long. Luzerne County led its
suit in 2010.
Luzerne County Councilman
Stephen A. Urban, who supported
the litigation as a county commis-
sioner, requested an upcoming
public update on the status of
the litigation during Tuesdays
council meeting.
The people of Luzerne
County deserve that funding,
he said.

long, Scandal, which airs at 10
p.m., could take a hit as well.
The programming bump, par-
ticularly of a new episode of
Greys Anatomy that other
viewers across the country will
see at 9 p.m., has fans of Dr.
Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. Dr. Mc-
Dreamy, and cohorts feeling
more McSteamy, and this time
the hot-and-bothered state has
nothing to do with the late Dr.
Mark Sloan, who owned the sul-
try nickname.
According to the stations
website, wnep.com, Wife Swap
and Greys Anatomy will in-
stead air locally on Channel 16
from 1 until 3 p.m. Saturday, but
thats little consolation for some
local fans who must have their
must-see TV in real time.
Count registered nurse Jenni-
fer Keller, 40, of Hanover Town-
ship, among the furious.
Its wonderful that the new
stadiumis openanddrawing rev-
enue for the area, but I dont un-
derstand why the game cannot
be run on WNEP-2 or MyNet-
work TV or another channel,
Keller told The Times Leader.
WNEP is pre-empting a brand-
new Greys Anatomy, which is
one of the most popular shows
on television. Not to mention if
the game runs long, it will inter-
fere with Scandal as well, and
they have not announced plans
to re-air that episode.
Others left similar comments
on the stations website, with
more than one pointing out that
if people wanted to see the game
badly enough, they would go to
the stadium.
Wrote one woman: Isnt the
idea to ll these seats and keep
the stadium open? I would
like to see regular-schedule
programs at a time they are
supposed to air, not in the mid-
dle of the day on some week-
end.
Another female viewer point-
ed out the number of women
who prefer their shows over the
game, writing that most people
whowatchGreys Anatomy are
mothers, and Thursday nights at
9 are a time for relaxation after
the kids go to bed and after a
long day/week. These women
do not have time to sit down on
a Saturday afternoon and try to
catch up with a TV show.
Keller, a wife and mother of
two, agrees, noting: Saturday
at 2 p.m. is NOT when I want
to watch Greys! I want it at 9
p.m. on Thursdays when it was
meant to be seen so I dont have
to avoid spoilers on the Internet
and Facebook for two days.
At least on the website, the
station received less feedback
on the decision to bump Wife
Swap, which this week will
showcase a family of duck hunt-
ers trading places with a pageant
family. The Greys Anatomy
episode is titled Shes Killing
Me, and, according to abc.com,
will have Meredith and Derek
taking preventive steps for their
childrens futures after receiving
some unsettling news.
A call to WNEP programming
director Chuck Morgan was not
returned Thursday.

New Dorrance Twp. zoning plan in works
DORRANCE TWP. Alan Snel-
son, zoning and codes enforcement
ofcer, told supervisors on Monday
that the planning commission has
taken initial steps to develop a new
comprehensive plan to replace an
existing one that dates to 1984.
Snelson said the commission is
only in the early stages of the proj-
ect.
Snelson also said that the com-
mission, at its March 18 meeting,
concurred in the conditional use
permit that supervisors extended to
Pennsy Supply Corp. to expand its
quarry operation off Small Moun-
tain Road.
The approval, Snelson said, is
concurrent with the conditions of
operation Pennsy ofcials set down
before the permit was granted in
early January.
In a matter related to the quarry,
Kevin Casey said that a legal appeal
of the township permit as well as
that of the state Department of En-
vironmental Protection is ongoing.
Through his attorney, William
Higgs, of Mountain Top, Casey led
an action in Luzerne County Court
challenging the decision of the su-
pervisors.
In other matters:
Joseph Chalawick, a Blue Ridge
Trail resident, said he has led an
election petition seeking both the
two-year seat and the six-year term
on the board of supervisors. Chala-
wick is running as a Democrat. In-
cumbent Supervisor Royce Enger
said he is running as a Republican
for the two-year seat and Repub-
lican Supervisor Bill Wengrzynek
has led a petition to seek a six-year
term. The names of all three will ap-
pear on the May 23 primary ballot.
The supervisors voted unani-
mously to donate $250 to the Crest-
wood School District PTA for the
senior class lock-in party on gradu-
ation night, June 13.
The supervisors stated the an-
nual townshipwide recycling/clean-
up day has been scheduled on April
20, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The zoning board on March 7
approved a variance for Button Oil
Co. over the location of a propane
storage tank at Buttons facility off
Small Mountain Road.

Mayor threatens parking ordinance veto
SHICKSHINNY Mayor
Beverly Moore said after Tues-
day nights council meeting
that she will not sign an amend-
ed ordinance on parking meters
because of her concerns about
the ne it calls for and its im-
pact on business.
The amended law calls for a
$10 ne for violations.
Who wants to come to
Shickshinny to shop and then
get hit with a $10 ne? Moore
asked.
The ordinance, which was
devised by Solicitor John Pike
to replace two others related
to parking violations, was pre-
sented and originally passed on
a 3-1 vote. However, after the
vote, Councilman Kevin Mor-
ris, who cast the lone negative
vote, raised a question about
the mayor having the legal
alternative of a veto, which
would result in council having
to resort to a two-thirds vote to
override Moores veto.
Pike researched the borough
code and found that Morris was
essentially correct. Pike said
that according to code, Moore
could refuse to sign the ordi-
nance, which would result in
council having to re-introduce
the ordinance and a subsequent
two-third vote needed for rati-
cation.
After the meeting, Moore
who is running for re-election
as a Democrat, reiterated that
she wont sign it.
Morris joined Moore in de-
bating the rationale for parking
meters.
Why would you spend
$1,200 to purchase meters in
order to make just $1,000,
Morris said.
The meters, recently pur-
chased from Berwick with
ood relief money, have been
re-installed on Main and Union
streets. This action has the sup-
port of council members Rosa-
lie Whitebread, Jim Wido and
Barry Noss and brings back
parking provisions that existed
before the 2011 ood.
The debate also spilled over
into procedures for the allo-
cation of ood relief money.
Moore and Morris contended
disclosure among all members
of council was lacking. But
Noss rebutted that he, Wido
and Whitebread were at the
borough building on a daily
basis to review pending proj-
ects and oversee projects in
progress, in contrast to Moore
and Morris just showing up at
council meetings and offering
complaints.
At one point, Council Chair-
person Whitebread slammed
a packet of ood project docu-
ments on the table and said to
Morris, Here Kevin, you want
to take over, you can have it.
There was no other comment
from either side on the issue.
In other business:
Moore announced that
preparations have been com-
pleted for a 5-K race on Satur-
day 10:15 a.m., starting at the
Canal Street park, that will ben-
t the Susquehanna Warrior
Trail organization. Moore asked
for, and received, the coopera-
tion of the re department in
cleaning the streets before the
event.
In response to question-
ing by Morris, Noss and Wido
said basketball equipment
purchased for the Canal Street
park was obtained from the To-
ledo Physical Education Supply
Co. for $854.38.
Pike was asked to devise
a quality of life ordinance,
similar to one being utilized by
Tamaqua Borough, which stipu-
lates property maintenance and
regulations related to waste,
junked vehicles and the general
state of structures and yards.
Shickshinny council OKs
amendment that would
institute meters and $10 nes.

Editorial
T
HE MOST astonishing
question is how any-
one could fail to see a
conict of interest.
Under no circumstances
should Wilkes-Barre City police
borrow or otherwise obtain use
of vehicles belonging to Leo
Glodzik, owner of the citys ex-
clusive contracted tower, LAG
Towing. Police ofcers decide
if a vehicle will be towed; when
they do, they call Glodzik.
Such a relationship creates a
bright, brittle line of ethical be-
havior between the police and
Glodzik, a line astoundingly
easy to spot yet apparently ig-
nored.
The fact that a truck bear-
ing a license plate registered to
Glodzik has been found parked
in a city police lot immediately
behind police headquarters is
bad enough.
That the same car has been
spotted parked outside the
home of Police Ofcer John
Majikes is worse. That a source
familiar with Majikes said the
ofcer has driven the truck for
years is appalling.
If true, Majikes should be rep-
rimanded immediately. At the
very least, an external investiga-
tion should be launched regard-
ing the presence of the truck
in the police department lot,
perhaps by the Luzerne County
District Attorneys ofce.
And if the notion of a police of-
cer driving a vehicle owned by
a business proting from a city
contract isnt enough reason for
action, consider this: The truck
sports a repair towing license
plate, and state law bars anyone
but the business owner, his em-
ployees or family members to
drive a vehicle with such a plate.
A potential and disturbing
paradox arises: If Majikes is
driving the truck, could he cite
Glodzik for allowing someone
(Majikes) to drive the truck?
In the face of all this Mayor
Tom Leighton issued a remark-
ably glib and unsatisfactory
statement: If a quid pro quo
was alleged and found to be
valid, an ofcer could be subject
to disciplinary action, but those
are not the facts of this case at
this time.
Leighton is either turning
a blind eye to the situation, or
withholding facts from the
public that would explain such
inaction.
There was already ample
reason for the city to cancel
the LAG contract: Allegations
of price-gouging car owners,
claims he tried to bill residents
for storage of stolen and re-
covered vehicles (not allowed
under his city contract) and a
claim by Glodzik that one car
he had towed had been taken to
a salvage yard contradicted by
state records.
These latest allegations push
the issue of questionable con-
duct beyond Glodzik and onto
the police themselves. Leigh-
ton and Dessoye must respond,
quickly and completely, with
honest and full disclosure.
Because few things can frac-
ture a city more than broken
trust justied or not be-
tween residents and police.
OUR OPINION: ETHICS
W-B tow woes:
Inaction to scandal
T
HE TIMING couldnt
have been more ap-
ropos. As four U.S.
senators from the so-
called Gang of Eight, who
are working on immigration re-
form, toured the U.S. border in
Nogales, Ariz., last week in full
showboat mode, an illegal alien
scaled an 18-foot border fence
nearby and was arrested in view
of the group.
And how many illegals that
day crossed the border without
running into U.S. senators?
The bipartisan group insists
that any pathway to citizenship
for more than 11 million illegals
in the U.S. must be contingent
on measurable advances in
border security, The New York
Times reports.
But exactly how is that de-
ned?
Two years after Homeland
Security vowed to produce new,
more accurate standards to as-
sess the nations borders, senior
Homeland ofcials recently
acknowledged these new mea-
sures have not been devised and
they dont expect them anytime
soon, The Times reports.
So, amid the bluster that an
immigration deal is nigh, theres
nothing to suggest that the na-
tion is any closer to comprehen-
sive border security.
And without measurable bor-
der enforcement, the case for
immigration reform follows the
same ol circular cow path that
leads nowhere.

OTHER OPINION: IMMIGRATION REFORM

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Phone-using blockers

W
e responsible drivers are simply fed
up with Cellphone Inattentional
Blindness. After experiencing another all
too typical dense, clueless, inattentive,
obtuse driver with cellphone glued to the
ear while blocking everyone around her
this morning, I decided to submit a win-
win proposal to all.
In New York City, drivers blocking
the box (an intersection) are subject to a
moving violation that includes a $90 ne.
With so many towns experiencing budget
shortfalls these days what a blessing a

Curbside trash container
wasnt free for the taking
O
n Saturday, March 30, my family and
I were cleaning out our attic. We put
a television with a free sign on it out
on the curb on Ninth Street in Wyoming.
We also put out other things including a
like-new green tall trash container with
two wheels and a lid for our weekly trash
collection. By mistake, someone took the
trash container thinking it was free. We
would like the trash container returned to
the location from where it was taken.

New Shale organization
is far from regulatory
T
here has been much hype about the
newly formed Center for Sustainable
Shale Development (CSSD). If anyone is
wondering why you shouldnt look a gift
horse in the mouth, take a look at CSSD
its toothless.
Despite the news articles referring to
CSSD as a new regulatory organiza-
tion, CSSD is not a regulatory anything.
According to Jared Cohon, president
of Carnegie Mellon University and a
member of CSSDs Board of Directors,
CSSD is a complement to strong regula-
tory frameworks. Complements are not
regulations.
CSSD has no regulatory authority,
nor does it have the power to enforce
anything. The Marcellus Shale Coalition
(MSC) also has a set of guidelines and
recommendations for their Natural
Gas corporate members, but no power or
authority to enforce them.
Participation in CSSD or MSC is volun-
tary not mandatory, nor is participation
required in Pennsylvania. The CSSD or
MSC can not impose penalties, prevent
natural gas corporations from drilling,
shut down a drill site or suspend permits.
As the 2014 election season heats up,
we will hear many candidates talking
about responsible drilling.
It is a nice short sound bite, easy to
remember and easily rolls off the tongue.
How can we have responsible drilling
if no one is held responsible or takes
responsibility?

Geisinger lauds doctors
for compassionate care
I
n the year 1750, a doctor named Peter
Shaw said the best physicians are those
in whom patients have the greatest
condence. That is still true today as
physicians partner with patients in the
provision of quality care and enhance-
ment of their health and wellness.
On the occasion of National Doctors
Day on March 30, we publicly recognized
and thankd all area physicians for their
unparalleled skills and compassion in
caring for their patients.
Doctors choose the noble profession of
medicine because of their desire to keep
patients healthy, care for them when they
are ill or injured and ultimately affect
their lives in a positive and personal
way. Their expertise and compassion
are evident every day in the service they
provide to people in need.
In this climate of rapidly changing
health reform, the dedication and com-
mitment of physicians remains constant.
As healthcare evolves, we are condent
our regions doctors will continue to
meet the needs of the people in this com-
munity.
Wherever you receive your medical
care, please join with us in recognizing
and saluting all area physicians for the
tremendous work they do on behalf of
the people of the northeastern Pennsylva-
nia region.

Dened pension plan
a relic state cant afford
T
he dened benet pension plan is a
relic of the past. Most companies that

budget.
The two systems have a combined un-
funded liability of more than $41 billion.
Over the course of the next three budget
cycles (2013-2014, 2014-2015, 2015-2016),
Pennsylvanias contributions to fund PS-
ERS and SERS are expected to increase
by more the $2 billion. The budgetary
impact will be a signicant crowding-out
of funding on the rest of the Common-
wealths vital programs and services over
the next several years. These systems are
simply no longer sustainable.
The PICPA Fiscal Responsibility Task
Force has offered a number of policy op-
tions to address the crisis.
The PICPA believes pension reform in
Pennsylvania must include addressing
the nature of the benet type as well as
funding the obligations already promised
to current employees and retirees. The
report of the task force can be found at
www.picpa.org/scal.
The time to play the blame game is
over and, at this crisis point, irrelevant.
Kicking the can down the road is no
longer an option. Real, measurable public
pension reform is needed now.

KINGSTONDistrict Judge
Paul Roberts issued a search
warrant to Kingston police for the
medical records of a young man
who police say crashed a vehicle
into the DelBalso Ford Dealership
building on March 21.
According to the search war-
rant afdavit, issued on March
25, police observed open cans of
beer in the gold Ford Taurus that
Tyler Troth, 18, of South Thomas
Avenue, Kingston, drove into
the building and that an ofcer
smelled the odor of alcohol in the
car and coming from Troth.
Troth was transported to Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical
Center in Plains Township, but
police had no access to obtain
a sample of Troths blood for a
blood alcohol concentration test
because he was being treated in a
trauma room, the afdavit states.
The warrant compels Geisinger
to provide all of Troths medical
records from March 21 to present.
WILKES-BARRE An
81-year-old man in a wheelchair
was sentenced Tuesday to three
to 24 months in state prison on
charges he molested an elderly
woman with dementia.
Robert Klinger, who pleaded
guilty in February, was sentenced
on a charge of indecent assault of
a person with a mental disability.
Klinger, a patient at the Moun-
tain City Nursing and Rehabilita-
tion Center in Hazle Township,
was charged after police said a
nurses aide saw Klinger fondling
a elderly woman in the dining
room on Feb. 8, 2012.
WILKES-BARRE A Nanti-
coke man charged with sexually
assaulting a young boy over a
two-year period pleaded guilty
Tuesday to a related charge.
Thomas Wydra, 26, of East
Green Street, entered the plea to
a charge of corruption of minors.
Judge David Lupas said Wydra
will be sentenced on June 10.
Prosecutors withdrew ve other
charges. Wydra was ordered to
have no contact with the boy in
the case and to have no unsuper-
vised contact with minors.
According to court papers, on
Jan. 20, 2012, a boy told police
Wydra had been sexually assault-
ing him beginning in late 2009.

Summary: Rain and strong thunderstorms will push eastward across the South

rain and cooler weather will arrive along the Pacific coast.
ofcers surfaced Sunday after
Forty Forty resident Mark Rob-
bins took photos of a truck being
driven by ofcer John Majikes
that still has a specialty repair
towing business license plate
registered to Glodzik. Glodzik
has said he loaned vehicles to
other police ofcers as well.
Councilmen Bill Barrett and
Tony George, both former po-
lice chiefs, have said they be-
lieve the vehicle loans present
a conict of interest because
LAG is the exclusive tower for
the city, raising the appearance
of impropriety, regardless of
whether anything is actually go-
ing on.
Dessoye said he agrees the
situation presents a possible
conict, but his hands are tied.
We never said we didnt
see this as a conict. We said
it doesnt violate the rules and
regulations of the police de-
partment, Dessoye said. I can
tell ofcers I would hope they
would use better discretion, but
I do not have authority to direct
their actions if no policy is being
violated.
The review of citys policy
on gratuities shows it does not
specically state that a police
ofcer cannot, under any cir-
cumstance, accept a gratuity. It
says they cannot accept as pay-
ment for favors rendered or an-
ticipated in connection with his
ofcial duties.
In a related matter, Dessoye
said he does believe there is an
issue with Majikes continuing
to drive a Dodge Ramtruck that
Glodzik purportedly sold him
with the repair towing tag
still on it. Dessoye said he was
advised there was an issue with
completing the transfer but
Glodzik was in the process of
getting the vehicle titled so that
it could be sold in Pennsylvania.
Vehicles bearing specialty
business plates, including re-
pair towing plates, can be driv-
en only by the business owner,
an employee or a family mem-
ber, according to the state mo-
tor vehicle code. If the owner of
the vehicle allows someone else
to drive it, he or she can be cited
and potentially lose the right to
have the plate, according the
code.
Dessoye said he is looking into
the matter, but there has been
some confusion over whether
there is a grace period of 30 days
when a vehicle has been sold.
He said he has advised Majikes
to discontinue driving the truck
until the process is complete
and he has his own license plate,
but he cannot force him to do
so. He noted Majikes or Glodzik
face the possibility of a citation,
however, should Majikes disre-
gard his advice.
Thats what I hope the of-
cer will do. I can cite him if I
nd out there is a violation, he
said. Im not going to put that
effort into it yet, providing the
problem ceases. Im satised
all parties have been warned.
POLICE
communicate with suspects un-
der investigation for criminal
conduct.
The case centered on the in-
terpretation of the states wire-
tap law and whether a police
ofcer could be deemed to have
intercepted a communication
between two people when he
pretended to be someone else in
a text conversation.
Cruttenden and Lanier were
arrested after a police ofcer
used a cellphone of a third sus-
pect, Michael Amodeo, to send
messages to Lanier relating to
the alleged delivery of marijuana.
Under the state wiretap law,
police must obtain a warrant
before they can intercept com-
munications between criminal
suspects. In the Lanier and
Cruttenden case, prosecutors
argued the ofcer did not need
a warrant because he was com-
municating directly with Lanier,
therefore he did not intercept
a conversation between other
people.
The state Superior Court ini-
tially upheld the suppression
of evidence in a June 2009 rul-
ing. Prosecutors appealed to
the state Supreme Court, which
overturned the Superior Court
ruling in December 2012.
In its precedent-setting rul-
ing, the Supreme Court said the
fact a police ofcer was pretend-
ing to be someone else was irrel-
evant to the wiretap law.
That a police ofcer does
not identify him or herself, or
misrepresents his or her iden-
tity, does not change the fact
that he or she is a direct party
to the conversation, the court
said. The applicability of the
(wiretap) act does not rest on
whether the callers presump-
tion of the identity of the person
answering the call is accurate.
The Supreme Court ruling
did not technically end the case,
however, as the high court re-
manded the matter back to the
Superior Court to reconsider its
ruling.
The Superior Court, in a two-
page opinion, adopted the Su-
preme Courts ruling in whole.
Assistant District Attorney
Jim McMonagle, who argued
the case, said the ruling will
help ensure police continue to
have a useful tool to combat
crime. Had the ruling been ad-
verse, it would have made it
more difcult for law enforce-
ment because criminals would
have technology that police
could not use.
TEXT
pable stealth bombers, though
the allies insist they are routine
exercises. Pyongyang calls them
rehearsals for a northward inva-
sion.
The foes fought on opposite
sides of the three-year Korean
War, which ended in a truce in
1953. The divided Korean Pen-
insula remains in a technical
state of war six decades later,
and Washington keeps 28,500
troops in South Korea to protect
its ally.
Hagel said Washington was
doing all it can to defuse the
situation, echoing comments a
day earlier by Secretary of State
John Kerry.
Some of the actions theyve
taken over the last few weeks
present a real and clear dan-
ger and threat to the interests,
certainly of our allies, starting
with South Korea and Japan and
also the threats that the North
Koreans have leveled directly at
the United States regarding our
base in Guam, threatened Ha-
waii, threatened the West Coast
of the United States, Hagel said
Wednesday.
In Pyongyang, the military
statement said North Korean
troops had been authorized to
counter U.S. aggression with
powerful practical military
counteractions, including nucle-
ar weapons.
We formally inform the White
House and Pentagon that the ev-
er-escalating U.S. hostile policy
toward the DPRKand its reckless
nuclear threat will be smashed by
the strong will of all the united
service personnel and people
and cutting-edge smaller, lighter
and diversied nuclear strike
means, an unnamed spokesman
from the General Bureau of the
Korean Peoples Army said in a
statement carried by state me-
dia, referring to North Korea by
its formal name, the Democratic
Peoples Republic of Korea. The
U.S. had better ponder over the
prevailing grave situation.
However, North Koreas nu-
clear strike capabilities remain
unclear.
Pyongyang is believed to be
working toward building an
atomic bomb small enough to
mount on a long-range missile.
Long-range rocket launches de-
signed to send satellites into
space in 2009 and 2012 were
widely considered covert tests
of missile technology, and North
Korea has conducted three un-
derground nuclear tests, most
recently in February.
I dont believe North Korea
has to capacity to attack the
United States with nuclear weap-
ons mounted on missiles, and
wont for many years. Its ability
to target and strike South Korea
is also very limited, nuclear sci-
entist Siegfried Hecker, a senior
fellow at the Center for Interna-
tional Security and Cooperation
at Stanford University, said this
week.
And even if Pyongyang had
the technical means, why would
the regime want to launch a nu-
clear attack when it fully knows
that any use of nuclear weapons
would result in a devastating mil-
itary response and would spell
the end of the regime? he said
in answers posted to CISACs
website.
In Seoul, a senior govern-
ment ofcial said Tuesday that it
wasnt clear how advanced North
Koreas nuclear weapons capabil-
ities are. But he also noted fallout
from any nuclear strike on Seoul
or beyond would threaten Pyong-
yang as well, making a strike
unlikely. He spoke on condition
of anonymity because he wasnt
authorized to speak publicly to
the media.
North Korea maintains that it
needs to build nuclear weapons
to defend itself.
KOREA
Chief: Discretion used in citing parking lot prowlers
WILKES-BARRE Aday af-
ter three members of the news
media were threatened with a
trespassing citation, city Police
Chief Gerry Dessoye said po-
lice do not intend to aggressive-
ly enforce signs that prohibit
pedestrian trafc in a parking
lot behind the police station.
Acknowledging the lot is
frequently used by pedestrians
crossing from South Washing-
ton to State streets, Dessoye
said police will continue to
use their discretion in deciding
whether to issue citations. Un-
less someone is there at an odd
hour or appears to be threaten-
ing, the public need not worry
about being cited.
Three journalists, including
a Times Leader reporter, who
were attempting to interview
Dessoye on Tuesday were ini-
tially told they would be cited
for trespassing after they passed
through the lot, believing the
chief had exited a door on State
Street. Police later rescinded
the citations in lieu of a warn-
ing.
The citation threat was not
meant to deter or intimidate
the reporters, Dessoye said on
Wednesday. The ofcer was just
following the law. After further
consideration, the decision was
made to issue a warning giv-
en the reporters had no illinten-
tions in mind, he said.
They obviously were not
there to cause damage to city
property, Dessoye said. I be-
lieve they may have been over-
zealous, but they were there for
a legitimate purpose. Police
put signs up restricting access to
the lot to dissuade pedestrians,
primarily for safety concerns, he
said. The lot is very narrow, re-
quiring ofcers to park vehicles
with the front end facing the
building. They sometimes must
back out quickly, which could
put pedestrians in danger.
A secondary issue is that
some police ofcers park their
private vehicles there, said Des-
soye, and there is concern some-
one might seek to damage their
cars.
In our line of work, he said,
we dont like people snooping
around vehicles.
That seemingly explains why
Forty Fort resident Mark Rob-
bins, who was observed while
snapping photos in the parking
lot at 3 a.m. Sunday, was cited
for trespassing. Robbins on
Wednesday questioned why he
was cited while the news me-
dia members were not. Robbins
said he went to the lot to get
photos of a Dodge Ram truck
purportedly being driven by of-
cer John Majikes as part of his
plan to expose how some of-
cers have been loaned vehicles
by city towing contractor Leo
Glodzik III. The truck still has a
specialty plate issued to towing
operators.
The circumstances surround-
ing Robbins and the news media
members are entirely different,
Dessoye said. He was there at
3 a.m., he said. Ofcers were
concerned for their vehicles and
safety.

Rutgers res
coach over
abuse, taunts
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Once the video
went viral, Mike Rices coaching days at
Rutgers were over.
Now the question is whether anyone
else will lose their jobs including the
athletic director who in December sus-
pended and ned Rice for the abusive
behavior, and the university president
who signed off on it.
Rice was red Wednesday, one day
after a video surfaced of him hitting,
shoving and berating his players with
anti-gay slurs. The taunts were especial-
ly troubling behavior at Rutgers, where
freshman student Tyler Clementi killed
himself in 2010 after his roommate used
a webcamto spy on himkissing another
man in his dorm.
It also came at an especially embar-
rassing time for the NCAA, with the
country focused on the Final Four bas-
ketball tournament this weekend.
Rice, in his third season with the
Scarlet Knights, apologized outside his
home in Little Silver, N.J.
Ive let so many people down: my
players, my administration, Rutgers
University, the fans, my family, whos
Schools athletic director and
president now come under re for
not dumping coach earlier.

Lions new assistant off and running
Midget
Anthony Midget had never met
Bill OBrien. He had no connec-
tion to the Penn State coach, un-
like most members of the Nittany
Lions staff.
But someone, evidently, put in
a good word for the man back in
January. And before he knew it,
Midget was interviewing at Penn
State and on his way to his third
job in as many months.
I guess we had a mutual friend
that recommended me, Midget
said on Tuesday in the midst of
his rst spring practice as the Li-
ons safeties coach. Coach OBrien
called me and asked if there was an
interest, and I said yes.
I had an interview. It went well,
and he offered me the job. And
here we are today. Its just been a
blessing. Everything happened so
fast.
Especially from his perspective.
In December, Midget nished
up his rst season as defensive co-
ordinator at FCS Georgia State. In
January, he started a new gig as a
secondary coach in the FBS ranks
at Marshall.
By February, he was Penn States
safeties coach. Midget lled the
gap created when defensive coor-
dinator Ted Roof left to take the
same position at Georgia Tech, his
alma mater.
OBrien elected to promote sec-
ondary coach John Butler to the
defensive coordinator job before
hiring Midget to coach the safe-
ties. Butler will continue to work
directly with the cornerbacks,
which was the same arrangement
Tom Bradley had in recent years
for the Lions.
Most notably, Midget becomes
OBriens rst coaching hire since
the NCAA sanctions hit the pro-
gram back in July. The 35-year-old

Two Wyoming Valley Confer-
ence basketball standouts were
selected to the Pennsylvania
Sports Writers All-State Boys
Basketball team on Wednesday.
Meyers senior center Rasheed
Moore was selected to the Class
2A second team, while Hazle-
ton Area junior guard Sal Biasi
earned third-team honors in
Class 4A.
Biasi led the
entire WVC in
scoring with
a 28.0 average
and was cho-
sen to the WVC
Division I MVP
by the divi-
sions coaches.
He paced the
Cougars in as-
sists (114),
steals (50),
three-pointers
(70) and free-
throw percent-
age (83%) and
was third in rebounding with 95
boards.
He scored his 1,000th career
point this season. Moore was
the Division III co-MVP and the
Times Leader co-Player of the
Year. He averaged 16.5 in WVC
games and led Meyers with 239
rebounds and 86 block shots.
He shot 60 percent from inside
the arc and 63 percent from the
free-throw line. Moore will play
at Division II East Stroudsburg
University.
The Lackawanna Conference
did better as four players were
selected, including two to the
rst teams.
Holy Cross senior center Josh
Kosin was selected the Player of
the Year in Class 2A to go along
with his rst-team honors. He
averaged 19.6 points and 10-plus
rebounds per game in leading
the Crusaders (27-6) to their
rst state championship game
appearance.
Abington Heights junior guard
J.C. Showwas chosen to the Class
3A rst team. He led the Comets
in scoring with an 18.9 average,
in three-pointers with 67 and in
steals with 51. He was third on
the team in rebounding with 109.
Two Lackawanna players also
gained third-team selections
Scranton Prep senior Matt
Knowles in Class 3A and Mid
Valley senior Ronnie Tomasetti
in Class 2A.
Chesters 6-foot-7 Rondae Jef-
ferson won top player honors for

Fans get early look at PNC Field
MOOSIC Temperatures
didnt get out of the 40s Wednes-
day night and a gusty wind
swirled into PNC Field. But that
didnt stop more than a thou-
sand fans from going to Moosic
to check out the $43 million
renovation project.
As construction workers put
the nishing touches on the
stadium, fans were treated to a
sneak peek of the restructured
stadium and all its amenities
Wednesday. Its an idea RailRid-
ers president and general manag-
er Rob Crain got at his previous
stop with the Omaha Storm
Chasers when the team went
through a similar makeover,
started on the road and hosted
a high school baseball game at
their newly-renovated stadium.
To go along with the high school
game, fans were able to get an
early look at the stadium.
Since we
were staring
at home
this year we
couldnt have
a high school
baseball game but we wanted
to have some type of event for
the public to come out and see
the ballpark, Crain said. It also
gives us a test run to make sure
all the toilets ush and all the
concession stands work and tak-
ing care of the little things.
The gates opened at PNC
Field at 5:30 p.m. and didnt
close until 8:30 for a three-hour
glimpse of the new facility.
Some left after taking one walk
all the way around. Others
stayed for a longer period, get-
ting some food or drink at one of
the numerous concession stands
that were open or to just take in
RailRiders hitting coach Butch Wynegar recognizes
a face in the stands and waves during the RailRiders
sneak peek event at PNC Field on Wednesday.

OOSIC For the rst
time since 2007, the
rst year the New York
Yankees Triple-A afliate moved
into Northeastern Pennsylvania,
theres a buzz all around the area
as fans cant wait for Opening
Day to arrive to see the brand
new product.
The wait is over and a new
era of baseball in NEPA begins
tonight when the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre RailRiders begin
play at restructured PNC Field
after taking a season-long hiatus
from the Moosic so just about
everything can be re-branded.
The teams nickname changed from
Yankees to RailRiders going along
with new uniforms, colors, logos
and new front ofce personnel.
The biggest attraction is the
$43 million makeover project to a
stadium that once opened in 1989
modeled after numerous stadi-
ums from that time period.
And the differences can be seen
right off the bat.
As soon as entering the parking
lot you can see the fresh look of
the stadium with the openness
of the entryway and a digital
crawler above the entrance. There
is a view of the eld, mainly the
outeld while standing out on the plaza.
Fans attending Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders
games at the renovated PNC Park will notice the
changes as soon as they approach the main entrance
to the stadium.
Story by DAVE ROSENGRANT
See BALLPARK, Page 4B
Plenty to watch on the eld, too
A redesigned stadium wont be the only reason
to stop by PNC Field, according staff writer Dave
Rosengrant. The RailRiders promises to be an excit-
ing team on the eld.

Man in charge is a familiar face
Manager Dave Miley will be calling the shots for
the New York Yankees top farm team once again this
year. Miley has been the Yankees Triple A boss since
2006.

Opening Day at restructured PNC
Field with new team nickname.
After entering the stadium, no mat-
ter where you are on the concourse
theres an extremely good chance of
catching a glimpse of the action on
the diamond.
Speaking of the concourse, if
hungry stop by one of the 30 vendors
in the house for a bite to eat. Thats
right any of the 30 vendors that are
on the concourse and not in the
outeld has grill access to serve up
some type of food in a ash.
Now lets take a closer look at more
of the features of the new complex.
WALK ALL AROUND
In the previous 22 seasons of base-
ball held at the ballpark, fans could
only walk as far as the left eld and
right eld foul lines before coming to
a stop.
Now, there is access to walk all the
way around totaling one-third of a
mile. Go around three times and you
have a nice little workout.
Youll need that (workout) on
dollar hot dog night, RailRiders
President and General Manager Rob
Crain said.
While walking around the outeld,
it will be hard to miss brand new
attractions. The 360-degree walk was
made possible by two bridges, one in
left and one in right eld making PNC
Field the only minor league park in
the country with a bridge. The right
eld bridge gives walkers a feeling
like they are on a hike because its a
wooden-planked connector and when
walking across you see trees on one
side and the famous rock scenery
retained on the other side. There is
no wall or fence in front of the stone
from the mountain meaning they are
the end of the stadium.
A GRASSY OUTFIELD
Being able to walk in a complete
circle around the stadium is the most
different feature in the outeld. But
theres much more to see when youre
out there. If walking from left eld to
right, youll rst notice the home and
visiting bullpens, which are back-to-
back from left center to right center
eld. The pens were previously on
opposite sides of the eld. Onlookers
can look directly down on each warm-
up area from the walking area.
Keep navigating towards right eld
and there is a bright, green grassy
area for lawn seating. Go a little
farther and its like many other minor
league ballparks with a bar, named
The Railhouse, in right eld. Theres
nearly 2,500 lawn seats and standing
room only tickets to accommodate
fans.
STATE OF THE ART SEATING
There doesnt appear to be a bad
seat in the house for viewing pur-
poses because all 7,536 xated seats
which are colored Yankee blue are
close to the action. Some of the best
though for pleasure and viewing are
in the luxury suites, which are sold
out for the next three years, and
for good reason. One of the perks
of being in the luxury box are the
padded seats with a countertop in
front to place items. Boxes can only
be accessed through the second level
and they are the only attractions on
the second level and are packed with
amenities including a high denition
television.
HOW HIGH IS THAT?
The upper bowl of PNC Field was
removed so there is no more having
to walk up to get to a seat. But you
can see how high some seats previ-
ously were by just looking up at the
lights behind your seat. The top of
the lights mark how high the top of
the bowl was.
Another aspect that was made
shorter in length was the outeld
wall. While the dimensions remained
the same at 330-feet to left and right
eld, 371 to the power alleys and
408 in dead center, the height was
shortened to 8-feet, ve inches at the
highest point and 8-feet high at the
lowest to match the height of Yankee
Stadiums walls.
TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED
The last time fans were at PNC
Field to watch a baseball game there
wasnt much technology anywhere in
the stadium. Heck, the video board
wasnt even in use in 2011.
Well, now there are two enormous
video boards. One is an HD LED
feed on the right eld wall, a feature
that only a handful of minor league
parks contain. The video board in
center eld cant be missed either and
will show many highlights or reels
throughout a game.
Thats a huge wow, Crain said
about the video wall. I think when
people come into a new stadium they
expect a nice looking video board.
And weve got a gorgeous one, but
theyre not expecting an HD LED
wall in right eld so its a very cool
feature.
The only way fans could see the
action on the eld was to be in a seat
in previous seasons. There were a
few monitors showing the game, but
only in a few selected areas. Now,
you can be almost anywhere in the
stadium and see a high denition
television with the video and audio
feed of the game as approximately
125 televisions are mounted around
the ballpark.
FOR THE VISITORS
Players and teams who were visit-
ing PNC Field in the past were treated
to one of the smallest clubhouses
in all of minor league baseball. Not
anymore.
The brand new facility has at least
doubled in size completely equipped
with two eco-friendly washers and
dryers.
The away teams skipper will also
feel more comfortable with his own
ofce, not having to share with his
coaches, who have an ofce of their
own as well.
FOR THE HOME TEAM
Not much differences changed
for the RailRiders this time around
because the home clubhouse was
remodeled in 2007.
There were some minor adjust-
ments to the inside of the clubhouse
though.
Although perhaps the best thing
that occurred for the team is that
there are now two indoor hitting
cages and an indoor pitching mound.
Lower fences and the openness of
the stadium could also turn the once
pitcher-friendly park into a more
hitter-friendly atmosphere making for
a more of home-eld advantage.
Both dugouts were extended by 30
feet, its noticeable because brand new
benches are next to the old seats.
FOR THE MASCOTS
Designers and management didnt
forget about one of the existing best
features from the past, Champ, the
mascot.
There are also two new mascots
going along with the furry blue guy
this season and all three have a locker
room all to themselves.

SCHEDUL E
Hop on board for this season of change
When any season
starts, just about
everyone fans,
players, coaches,
management and
media members
refer to the kickoff
as brand new.
That phrase couldnt be more t-
ting as the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre
Triple-A baseball team begins a new
regime with the moniker RailRiders
and a restructured, state-of-the art
stadium, new front ofce person-
nel that are extremely involved in
the community and dozens of other
freshly-minted features.
President and general manager
Rob Crain has been a huge part of the
drastic refacing to the franchise by
getting not only his name recognized
in the area, but making the overall
product once again relevant, the total
opposite of the previous regime.
You can read all about the numer-
ous improvements to the stadium and
team in this special section of The
Times Leader.
When the team nally takes the
eld tonight to play the rst game in
team history and the rst professional
baseball game at PNC Field in nearly
600 days, there will be few familiar
names from that squad, but one thing
remains the winning ways the New
York Yankees have provided to the
SWB franchise since taking over in
2007.
The success starts at the top with
manager Dave Miley, who is near the
top of the wins list among active mi-
nor league managers with 1,681 wins.
He returns with his coaches, Butch
Wynegar, Scott Aldred and Frank
Menechino who have been together
since 2009.
There is no lack of talented players
either as the franchise begins defense
of its International League North Di-
vision title seeking its sixth postsea-
son appearance in seven seasons at
the Lackawanna County ballpark.
The rotation is stacked with
promising youngsters in Vidal Nuno,
Dellin Betances and Brett Marshall.
Its expected that veteran Chien-Ming
Wang, who was runner-up for the A.L.
Cy Young in 2006, will join the rota-
tion later on.
Chris Bootcheck, who saved 17
games for Toledo last season en route
to an appearance in the Triple-A All-
Star Game, also has experience as a
starter and will begin the season as
part of the starting ve.
Possible future closer in the Major
Leagues, Mark Montgomery, who is
just 22, has a devastating slider that
will cause ts for opposing hitters and
may nd a spot near the back of the
teams bullpen. Theres much more
talent in the pen besides Montgom-
ery with experience no matter where
Miley decides to go.
Relievers Juan Cedeno and Preston
Claiborne both saw time in Triple-A
last season.
Everybody likes offense by the
home team. The RailRiders should
have a potent offense in an open
stadium that hitters will likely love
to hit in.
Nine hitters in Scranton/Wilkes-
Barres lineup combined to hit 160
home runs in the best years of their
respective careers.
Designated hitter/rst basemen
Luke Murton and Dan Johnson hit
a total of 53 last year for Double-A
Trenton and Charlotte, respec-
tively. They could also give opposing
managers ts in the lineup because
Murton bats from the right side and
Johnson is left-handed.
Catcher Austin Romine, second
baseman Corban Joseph, third base-
man David Adams, outelders, Zoilo
Almonte, Thomas Neal and Melky
Mesa have shown in the past they
all could hit for average and power.
Those names dont include outeld-
er/third baseman Ronnier Mustelier,
who led the team in average last
season while hitting 10 home runs.
So get on board. There are sure
to be some bumpy rides along the
way because, well, its baseball and
nobodys perfect in the game for an
entire season.
But with a trainload of talent, this
trip appears to be taking the track to
prominence.

DAVE ROSENGRANT
OPI NI ON
Among
the new,
a familar
name
Dave Miley, who has been managing
the franchise since 2006, is back in
the dugout for SWB.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
TAMPA, Fla. From the new team
name and stadium to several different
players playing in Northeastern Penn-
sylvania for the rst time, everyone by
now knows all about all the changes
around the Triple-A baseball team this
season.
Heck, with nearly 600 days since the
last time a professional baseball team
walked off the diamond in Moosic, it
would be hard for many things to re-
main the same.
But there has been one mainstay for
the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.
And its a good one in manager Dave
Miley.
Miley, 50, has been in the Yankees or-
ganization since 2006 when he started
managing the Triple-A club still sta-
tioned in Columbus at the time. Thats
when he started a reign of success that
has continued through even the tough-
est of times.
Last year, he led the Scranton/Wil-
kes-Barre Yankees to the playoffs with
a record of 84-60 despite not playing a
single game in Moosic and dozens of
roster moves throughout the season.
In fact the team played 142 games at
13 different ballparks and home games
were played at seven different venues.
That didnt seem to hamper his style as
he picked up his second International
League Manager of the Year Award in a
six-year span. He also earned the Base-
ball America Minor League Manager of
the Year award.
Hes been nothing but a terric suc-
cess for New Yorks top afliate piling
up a 563-430 record in seven seasons
and ve playoff appearances, including
four consecutive I.L. North Division
championships and a Governors Cup
title in 2008.
He also reached a pair of milestones
last season winning his 500
th
game as
manager of the Yankees Triple-A afli-
ate.
A minor league manager for 21 sea-
sons, Miley has piled up nearly 1,681
career wins. Those wins are made up of
19 years with a winning record. When
you add in a stint in the majors in parts
of three seasons with Cincinnati, he has
more than 1,800 wins.
Above all, hes the type of manager
players love to be around.
He lets you go about your business
but he expects 110 percent every time
you go on the eld and hell let you
know if youre not, RailRiders catcher
Austin Romine said. Hes a real hard-
nosed guy. He jokes around. He keeps
it loose and fun but the same time he
lets you know when its game time and
ready to strap it on. I like to play for
guys like that. He loves this game and
he wants you guys to love it and respect
it when you get out on the eld.
Miley started his managerial career
in the Reds organization and led Louis-
ville to the Governors Cup league title
in 2001, coincidentally defeating Scran-
ton/Wilkes-Barre in the series that was
shortened to one game after the drastic
events on September 11, 2001 occurred.
Romine has
plenty of
incentive
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
TAMPA, Fla. A back injury limited
Austin Romine to just 31 games in 2012.
Once rated as one of the top prospects
in New Yorks minor league system by
scouts and publications, the catcher has
plummeted due to the injury-riddled
campaign.
Now, hes trying to show everyone
that even though he was hampered last
season he still is an
elite player despite
losing valuable time
on the eld.
With an injury you
lose some time and
thats huge because
you dont have a lot of
time in this game to
make an impression,
Romine said. Im
looking to go back
and let themknowIm
still the guy that they
want in New York at
the end of the day.
When he was
healthy in previous
seasons, the 24-year-
old proved he is one
of the top catchers in
the minors. In 2011 he
played at three levels
starting at Double-A
Trenton and advanc-
ing to Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre before
making his Major
League debut for New
York. That helped him
be ranked the No. 8
prospect in the orga-
nization according to
Baseball America.
But then last spring
training he was diag-
nosed with two bulg-
ing discs in his back.
He was sidelined
from February until
July when he nally
started getting some
playing time, but it ap-
peared to be too late
for the 2012 season
and he dropped in the
BA team rankings to No. 17 this season.
But he continued to workout and get
stronger and better than ever heading
into this campaign.
I got to Triple-A right at the end
and just tried to get as many at-bats as
I could. My back nowis 100 percent and
Im ready to go, Romine said. Ready
to get to Scranton and get back in it as
an everyday catching thing. I want to
catch 120 games, as many as needed.
Imreally excited to be going out there.
Once he got on the eld again, the
top defensive catcher in the Yankees
organization could have been in the
drivers seat for a shot at the starting
catcher role in New York when Russell
Martin signed with the Pirates. But in a
competition in spring training, Romine
was the odd-man out of a three-catcher
race with Francisco Cervelli and Chris
Stewart. Yankees manager Joe Girardi
said during spring that the youngster
of the group would benet more play-
ing everyday in the minors instead of
being in a possible platoon situation in
the Majors.
That has given the two-time Futures
Game selection more incentive to get to
the bigs.
Anywhere you go theres going to be
guys above you and below you. Until
you get that starting job with the big
team theres always someone in front
and theres always someone behind
pushing you, he said. Its actually a
good thing because it keeps you on your
toes, keeps you working hard. Theres
that I want to be better than that guy.
It really keeps pushing you to get bet-
ter.
In previous healthy seasons, Ro-
mine was behind coveted prospect Je-
sus Montero in the organization. Hes
still not the top-ranked backstop with
20-year-old Gary Sanchez who many
consider a clone of Montero highly
regarded.
But Romine has shown ability in the
past of being that elite player, and with
a strong rebound season he could be
back up there by himself.
Catcher Austin Romine is out to
show he is still a top prospect after
injuries derailed his 2012 season.
With an
injury you
lose some
time and
thats huge
because
you dont
have a lot
of time in
this game
to make
an impres-
sion.
Im look-
ing to go
back and
let them
know Im
still the
guy that
they want
in New
York at the
end of the
day.

T H E n A n D n o w
The last time the Triple-A afliate of
the New York Yankees played in Moosic,
things were drastically different. In fact,
when the team takes the eld tonight for
the home opener, it will mark a spell of 578
days since the last baseball game played in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Here are some player differences since

(2009 rehab assignment)
Upon entering the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre RailRiders clubhouse during me-
dia day on Tuesday at PNC Field, media
members saw a TBA posted as Satur-
days probable starter.
That was cleared up on Wednesday
as the team announced that New Yorks
Phil Hughes will indeed get the start-
ing nod. It had been reported by several
outlets previously, but the start was of-
cially announced on Wednesday.
Hughes, who has been ailing with a
bulging disc in his back since February,
will become the rst Major Leaguer of
possibly several to rehab at PNC Field
this season. Injured New York stars
Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson,
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez might
also get in some time at the $43 million
restructured stadium some time this
season.
Hughes, 26, who was a rst-round
pick by New York in 2004, played for
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in parts of three
seasons 2007, 2008 and 2009 piling up
a record of 8-1 with a 3.51 earned run
average in 14 starts.
Since his Major League debut in April
of 2007, Hughes has been a mainstay in
the Yankees rotation despite battling
some injuries. His best seasons have
come in 2010 and 2012 when he spent
the entire seasons healthy. In 2010, he
was an American League All-Star nish-
ing with a record of 18-8. In 2012, he
started 32 games for the Yankees with
16 wins.
Saturdays game starts at 7:05 p.m.,
and in addition to seeing the New York
pitcher taking the hill, the rst 2,500
fans will receive a Greg Legg bobble-
head on Greg Legg night. Legger will
be on the eld prior to the rst pitch for
a special ceremony.

By DAVE ROSENGRANT
New York Yankees Baseball Ameri-
ca Top 10 Prospects
(Note: Prospects 11-16 will be start-
ing the season with the RailRiders)
1. Mason Williams, outelder
Age: 21
Drafted: 2010 fourth round out of
Winter Garden H.S., Florida
2012 Minor League Stats
(Charleston and Tampa): 98
games; .298 batting average; 11
home runs; 35 RBI; .346 on base
percentage; 20 stolen bases; 68
runs
Scouting Report: Projected to
start at High-A Tampa, hes a true
ve-tool player with above average
batting, power, speed and defense.
2. Slade Heathcott, outelder
Age: 22
Drafted: 2009 rst round out of
Texarkana H.S., Texas
2012 Minor League Stats (Gulf
Coast League and Tampa): 65
percentage; 19 stolen bases; 41 runs
Scouting Report: Injuries have
hampered his development, but
hes received the ailments largely
due to his all-out style of play as
hes seen action in just 197 games in
three-plus seasons. He should start
the year with Double-A Trenton.
3. Gary Sanchez, catcher
Age: 20
Signed: As a non-drafted free
agent out of the Dominican Repub-
lic in 2009
(Charleston and Tampa): 116
percentage; 15 stolen bases; 65
runs
Scouting Report: Slated to start
for High-A Tampa, the sky is the
limit for the promising backstop.
One of his lone drawbacks is
throwing out base-stealers, but he
still gunned down 30 percent last
season.
4. Tyler Austin, outelder
Age: 21
Drafted: 2010 13
th
round out of
Conyers H.S., Georgia
(Charleston, Gulf Coast League,
Tampa, Trenton): 110 games; .322
batting average; 17 home runs; 80
RBI; .400 on base percentage; 23
stolen bases; 92 runs
Scouting Report: He skyrocketed
through the system last season,
playing at four different levels and
topping out at Double-A Trenton
where he will start the 2013 cam-
paign. A right-handed hitter, its
possible he sees time at Triple-A
later this season if he continues to
produce like he has.
5. Jose Campos, RHP
Age: 20
Acquired: From Seattle in the Jesus
Montero deal in January 2012.
(Charleston): 3-0, 4.01 ERA, 26
strikeouts, 25 innings pitched; 5
starts
Scouting Report: He got off to a
phenomenal start for the RiverDogs
last season before getting injured
and losing the rest of the season.
He showed electric stuff last year,
giving up just one hit in his rst 11
innings pitched. The Venezuelan-
born pitcher will start the season
for Charleston.
6. Brett Marshall, RHP
Age: 23
Drafted: 2008 sixth round out of
Sterling H.S., Baytown, Texas
2012 Minor League Stats (Tren-
ton): 13-7, 3.52 ERA, 120 strikeouts,
158 innings pitched, 27 starts
Scouting Report: Going to start
in Scranton/Wilkes-Barres rota-
tion, he led Trenton to the Eastern
League nals last season and tied
for the lead in wins among Yan-
kees farmhands en route to being
selected to the E.L. All-Star Game.
Hes more of a groundball pitcher
with a powerful slider and sinker,
but he can can pile up strikeouts at
times as well.
7. Angelo Gumbs, second base
Age: 20
Drafted: 2010 second round out of
Torrance H.S., California
(Charleston): 67 games; .272 bat-
ting average; 7 home runs; 36 RBI;
.320 on base percentage; 26 stolen
bases; 40 runs
Scouting Report: Hes regarded as
the best base-stealer in the organi-
zation with pop and has potential to
grow even more offensively. He will
start the season at High-A Tampa.
8. Manny Banuelos, LHP
Age: 22
Signed: As a non-drafted free agent
out of Mexico in 2008
2012 Minor League Stats (SWB):
0-2, 4.50 ERA, 22 strikeouts, 24 in-
nings, 6 starts
Scouting Report: His season was
derailed last season with elbow
issues and was shut down. He
then had Tommy John surgery in
October and is expected to miss the
entire season. He was No. 2 on this
list last year. He is still young and
has a lot of time to recover.
9. Ty Hensley, RHP
Age: 19
Drafted: First round 2012 out of
Edmond H.S., Oklahoma
Coast League): 1-2, 3.00 ERA, 14
strikeouts, 12 innings, 4 starts
Scouting Report: Many scouts say
that Hensley throws the best curve
of all 2012 draftees with a 12-to-6
break that reaches the high 70s. He
should start the season in Charles-
ton.
10. Rafael DePaula, RHP
Age: 22
Signed: as a non-drafted free
agent in 2012 out of the Dominican
Republic
2012 Minor League Stats (Rookie
Dominican Summer League): 8-2,
1.46 ERA, 85 strikeouts, 62 innings,
14 starts
Scouting Report: He presents an
overwhelming fastball that reaches
as high as 98 when hes started
making those whove seen him
think he is a very high ceiling. Hes
projected to start the season at
Charleston.
Baseball America New York Pros-
pects expected to play for SWB

11. Mark Montgomery, RHP
Age: 22
Drafted: 2011 11
th
round out of Long-
wood University
2012 Minor League Stats (Tampa,
Trenton): 7-2, 1.54 ERA, 99 strike-
outs, 64.1 innings pitched, 15 saves,
46 games
Scouting Report: A devastating
slider had him competing in big
league camp leaving those who saw
him clamoring. He only gave up one
home run last season, but it wasnt
served up until August by the
Orioles Manny Machado prior to his
call-up from Bowie.
17. Austin Romine, Catcher
Age: 24
Drafted: El Toro H.S., Lake Forest,
California
Coast League, Tampa, SWB): 31
percentage; 11 runs
Scouting Report: Hes a brilliant
backstop that is a two-time Fu-
tures Game Selection. His last fully
healthy season was 2011 as he made
the jump from Double-A to the ma-
jors that season.
18. Melky Mesa, Outelder
Age: 26
Signed: as a non-drafted free agent
out of the Dominican Republic in
2003
ton, SWB): 121 games; .264 batting
average; 23 home runs; 67 RBI;
.325 on base percentage; 22 stolen
bases; 79 runs
Scouting Report: He made a
cameo appearance for New York
last season, getting one hit and an
RBI in two at-bats in three games.
He set career numbers in the
minors last season in home runs
and slugging percentage at .480.
He also has above average speed
and being a right-handed hitter is
another asset.
19. Dellin Betances, RHP

ton, SWB): 6-9, 6.44 ERA, 124
strikeouts, 131.1 innings pitched; 26

Scouting Report: He was No. 3 on
the list last year at this time before
struggling with control. But he
started to get back on track late in
the year. He showed improvement
this spring in minor league camp as
well.

they were named the Yankees Minor League Pitcher of the Year and Minor League Player of the Year last month.
Gary Sanchez hit .290 last season while splitting time
between Charleston and Tampa.
Tyler Austin hit .322 with 17 home runs in 110 games last
season.
ATLANTA Justin Upton, Jason
Heyward and rookie Evan Gattis hom-
ered, helping Paul Maholm and the At-
lanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phil-
lies 9-2 on Wednesday night.
Freddie Freeman had three RBIs as
the Braves chased Roy Halladay in the
fourth inning. Upton belted a two-run
shot in the rst to give him a pair of
homers in his rst two games for At-
lanta.
Halladay (0-1), who struggled with a
sore shoulder last season and had a dif-
cult spring training, gave up ve runs
and six hits in 3 1-3 innings. The two-
time Cy Young Award winner struck
out nine, but dropped to 0-4 with an
8.00 ERAin his last seven starts against
Atlanta.
The game was played in a steady
drizzle, but the conditions hardly af-
fected Paul Maholm(1-0), who allowed
six hits in 5 2-3 scoreless innings. He
struck out six and walked one.
Gattis led off the fourth inning of his
rst major league game with a drive to
left. Maholm struck out, but Halladays
night was over after he issued a walk to
Andrelton Simmons.
Raul Valdes came in and walked the
next two batters before Freeman hit a
bases-clearing double to make it 7-0.
Freeman has driven in six of Atlantas
16 runs in the rst two games.
Maholm struggled last year against
Philadelphia with an 8.64 ERA in two
starts. But the left-hander stranded
runners in scoring position in three of
the rst four innings in his rst start of
2013.
Cory Gearrin replaced Maholm with
a runner on rst in the sixth. He walked
one before striking out Erik Kratz.
The Phillies were just 1 for 11 with
runners in scoring position.
Mets 8, Padres 4
NEW YORK -- Matt Harvey allowed
one hit and struck out 10 in seven
scoreless innings for his rst win at
Citi Field, Lucas Duda hit the rst of
the Mets three homers in a whipping
wind and New York beat the San Diego
Padres 8-4 Wednesday night.
John Buck and Ike Davis also con-
nected against homer-prone Clayton
Richard in the Mets second straight
romp over San Diego. They opened the
season with an 11-2 win Monday.
David Wright added an RBI double
and Duda doubled, reached base three
times and scored twice in a game that
began with a wind chill of 32 degrees.
Pirates 3, Cubs 0
PITTSBURGH Wandy Rodriguez
allowed just two hits over 6 2-3 innings
and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the
Chicago Cubs for their rst win of the
year.
Andrew McCutchen smacked an RBI
double for the Pirates. Starling Marte
and Gaby Sanchez also drove in a run,
more than enough for Rodriguez on a
frigid night.
Jason Grilli, promoted to the closers
role in the offseason, worked the ninth
for his rst save.
Rodriguez, acquired in a trade dead-
line deal with Houston last July, struck
out six and walked one in a continua-
tion of his strong spring.
Edwin Jackson gave up two runs in
ve innings but lost to the Pirates for
the rst time in seven career starts.
The Cubs produced just two singles
and only put a runner on third once.
Nationals 3, Marlins 0
WASHINGTON Left-hander Gio
Gonzalez homered, providing all the
offense necessary to back his six score-
less innings, and the Washington Na-
tionals beat the Miami Marlins.
Gonzalez (1-0), a 21-game winner
in 2012 who nished third in NL Cy
Young Award voting, allowed only two
hits, along with ve strikeouts and two
walks.
His solo shot to left eld off Kevin
Slowey (0-1) came with one out in the
fth. Slowey gave up one run and four
hits in 5 1-3 innings.
After hitting two homers in Game
1, Nationals left elder Bryce Harper
went 2 for 4 with a double. The 2012
NL Rookie of the Year scored on Ryan
Zimmermans single in the eighth off
reliever A.J. Ramos.
Rafael Soriano got his second save,
completing Washingtons second
straight shutout of the Marlins.
Reds 5, Angels 4
CINCINNATI Brandon Phillips
hit a three-run homer in his new role
as Cincinnatis cleanup hitter, and Joey
Votto drove in the winning run with a
ninth-inning single Wednesday night,
rallying the Reds to a 5-4 victory over
the Los Angeles Angels.
Theyve split the rst two games of
the rst interleague series to open a
season.
Vottos rst hit of the season off left-
hander Scott Downs (0-1) deected off
the glove of rst baseman Albert Pujols
and rolled into the outeld, allowing
Shin-Soo Choo to score from second
base.

NEW YORK -- Clay Buchholz
chilled the Yankees bats, speedy
Jackie Bradley Jr. got his rst
major league hit and the Boston
Red Sox beat New York 7-4 on
a cold Wednesday night to open
a season with consecutive wins
for the rst time since 1999.
Pitcher Hiroki Kuroda became
the latest Yankees player to get
hurt, leaving in the second in-
ning with a 2-0 decit, four bat-
ters after Shane Victorinos line
drive bruised the middle nger
of his pitching hand.
While the Red Sox under new
manager John Farrell are off to
their best start since going 5-0
in 1999, New York has been
outscored 15-6 and outhit 26-15.
The Yankees have failed to hold
a lead at any point in their open-
ing two games for the rst time
since 1998.
Boston burst ahead 6-0 with
a four-run third against Cody
Eppley, and the Yankees never
challenged.
Buchholz (1-0) allowed one
run and six hits in seven innings,
struck out four and walked two.
Joel Hanrahan pitched the ninth
for his rst save with Boston.
Jacoby Ellsbury drove in two
runs for the Red Sox, and Brad-
ley singled up the middle in the
third for a hit hell long remem-
ber.
New York said Kuroda (0-1)
was being sent for X-rays and
other tests. The Yankees already
have ve All-Stars on the dis-
abled list: shortstop Derek Jeter,
third baseman Alex Rodriguez,
rst baseman Mark Teixeira,
outelder Curtis Granderson
and pitcher Phil Hughes.
Travis Hafner and Vernon
Wells hit their rst home runs
for the Yankees, a solo drive by
Hafner in the fourth and a three-
run drive by Wells in the eighth
against Alfredo Aceves.
Before the rst pitch, the
Yankee Stadium sound sys-
tem played Foreigners Hot
Blooded. But it was 43 de-
grees at gametime, and Boston
shortstop Jose Iglesias and rst
baseman Mike Napoli wore ski
masks.
The crowd of 40,216 was the
smallest for a Red Sox-Yankees
game in the Bronx since 27,631
were across the street at the old
ballpark on May 27, 1999, ac-
cording to STATS. And for the
second straight game, the sta-
dium was nearly empty in the
late innings.
Rangers 4, Astros 0
HOUSTON A day after Yu
Darvish came within one out of
a perfect game, Alexi Ogando
and four Texas relievers shut
out Houston again, combining
for a ve-hitter in a 4-0 win on
Wednesday.
Lance Berkman doubled in a
run for the Rangers a day after
they blanked the Astros 7-0 be-
hind Darvishs nearly historic
gem.
Ogando (1-0) allowed four
hits with a career-high 10 strike-
outs in 6 1-3 innings. The young
and inexperienced Astros have
struck out 43 times in their rst
three games.
Its the most strikeouts a
pitching staff has combined for
in the rst three games of a sea-
son in major league history, and
the most since Cleveland fanned
42 in the rst three of the 1966
season.
White Sox 5, Royals 2
CHICAGO Adam Dunn
hit one of Chicagos four hom-
ers, leading Jake Peavy and the
White Sox to the victory.
Tyler Flowers, Dayan Viciedo
and Alexei Ramirez also con-
nected, and the White Sox made
it two straight wins to start the
season after dropping 12 of 18 to
Kansas City a year ago.
The Royals, full of optimism
after posting the majors best
record in spring training, will
try to avoid a season-opening
sweep Thursday.
Twins 3, Tigers 2
MINNEAPOLIS Eduardo
Escobars two-run double with
one out in the ninth inning lifted
Minnesota to the win.
After Joaquin Benoit issued a
leadoff walk to Trevor Plouffe,
reliever Phil Coke took over.
Coke got the rst out, but Brian
Doziers single advanced pinch-
runner Jamey Carroll to third.
Escobar then drove the next
pitch from Coke to the deepest
part of the park in front of the
bullpens in left-center eld.

Your wallet will enjoy having baseball back
It was just a year ago at this time that we were looking to help
area baseball fans plan some summer vacations. The Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre Yankees were nomads their Moosic home undergo-
ing a facelift of mammoth proportions.
The teams home schedule featured zero games at its home
park. Instead, they were on the road for 144 contests, with the
bulk of their so-called home games played at four locations in New
York.
The Yankees, jokingly called the Empire State Yankees by folks
in Rochester, never came back, as the team was rebranded as the
RailRiders for 2013. The team hopes to ride the express train of
momentum off the name change into the IL playoffs and avoid
getting needled along the way.
For the regions baseball fans, we have our home back. Your
credit card company may not be happy, but theres plenty of
money to save while enjoying a RailRiders game at PNC Field this
season.
Heres some of the savings fans who traveled to take in a minor
league baseball game last season can enjoy this year by cheering
for the RailRiders instead of being a car rider.

All of these places are great places to watch a game. If you are

make a trip when we have a teamright here? Either way, you have
to buy tickets, so they were not included in the savings. Also, with
the vast array of concession deals offered at PNC Field and other
stadiums, differences there were nominal and therefore not in-
cluded. Gas and all savings are approximate, with gas based on 20
mpg and a wishful cost of $3.50 per gallon.
As for your time, thats priceless. The savings you get not driv-
ing for an hour or more cannot be measured in a chart.
the baseball music that was
being played over the sound
system.
The biggest attraction on
the evening was the kids zone
that appeared to have a long
line from start to nish. The
area, which is behind the
batters eye in center eld,
consists of games and activi-
ties including a huge 30-foot
blowup of the teams original
mascot, Champ featured as
a bounce house. Kids can
enjoy the features for $5 for
the entire game. Quills Club
members have free admission
to the area.
Youngsters also got to
meet the two new mascots, a
porcupine and a super hero.
There was a contest earlier in
the year to name Champs two
new friends. The name unveil-
ing will occur during pregame
festivities of tonights home
opener.
Not only could spectators
get a tour of the new building,
they watched the RailRid-
ers take batting and elding
practice.
Some players were even set
up at a table on the concourse
signing autographs. It was
a revolving door of players
bundled up in team hoodies
with big, right-handed pitcher
Dellin Betances one of the
rst out there. Heck, Crain
was even stopped to sign a
picture a fan had taken to the
stadium Wednesday night. It
was a photo Crain and the fan
took together at the name the
team party in November.
Its different. I feel like I
made his picture a little less
worthy because I wrote on it.
But Im happy to do whatever
they like, Crain said.
LAWN SEATS CLOSED
The lawn area for tonights
game will not be available.
Due to the colder than normal
weather, the sod hasnt been
able to root itself yet and
therefore will not be in use.
General admission seating in
the bleachers will be available
for $8.
STILL GUARANTEED
The forecasted high tem-
perature for today is predicted
to be in the mid 50s with clear
and sunny skies. Last week,
Crain issued a guarantee that
the temperature would reach
60 degrees and if not, anyone
in attendance will receive
a free ticket to a Sunday
through Thursday game the
rest the season.
The forecast doesnt scare
Crain and hes not backing
down.
It should be a fun time
and Im still sticking to my
guarantee
Fans will be notied some-
time during todays game how
high the temperature reached.
RIDERS
Florida native said that the bowl
ban and scholarship reductions
didnt enter his mind when con-
sidering coming to Penn State
after less than a month at Mar-
shall.
Not at all. It was an opportu-
nity to be a part of Penn State,
said Midget, who was an All-
America cornerback at Virginia
Tech. Yes, I understood what I
was getting into. But there was
never a doubt in my mind that
with Coach OBrien and what
they did last year.
I wanted to be a part of this
staff and get this thing turned
around, build on what they did
last year and take this to the
next level.
Midget said he hasnt had any
issues connecting with Butler.
Aside from being two of the
youngest coaches on the staff,
Butler has been in charge of get-
ting Midget up to speed on the
scheme and terminology.
It doesnt hurt that the two
have similar, up-tempo person-
alities, according to Midget.
Im just energetic, Midget
said. I think the guys feed off
of it.
His transition will be further
helped by having two senior
safeties returning as his starters.
Free safety Malcolm Wil-
lis and strong safety Stephen
Obeng-Agyapong started all of
last season for the Lions as ju-
niors. Willis also had a stretch as
a starter two years ago while ll-
ing in for an injured Nick Sukay.
To have two senior leaders
back there, especially Malcolm
Willis, has been great, Midget
said. Hes been a tremendous
leader. Obeng has been a good
leader. Its just made the transi-
tion that much easier because
those guys are basically coaches
on the eld.
They understand the de-
fense, understand what we want
and can help us with the young-
er guys.
Thats especially true in the
spring. Obeng-Agyapong is be-
ing held out of contact drills in
as he recovers from offseason
surgery. That gives players like
former walk-on Ryan Keiser and
redshirt freshman Malik Golden
some extra time in scrimmages.
Starting corner Adrian Amos
has also been working all over
the secondary, including at safe-
ty, much as he did last summer.
PSU
his spirits and strengthened his
condence of a full recovery. He
hopes by next season to be help-
ing the Cardinals defend the na-
tional championship he believes
theyll win this weekend.
The normally reserved
20-year-old calmly recalled how
he felt when he suffered the dev-
astating injury, saying he doesnt
think Louisville would be in the
Final Four if he had lost his com-
posure.
Ware credits teammate Luke
Hancock for calming him down.
He got me to that point
where I really had to put the
pain on hold, said Ware, with
his leg in a cast propped up on a
couch. Once he said his prayer,
I was kind of thinking the whole
time, you can either be a cryba-
by about it or youre going to get
your team back and get them in
the right mindset.
Luke said his words, and I
just kept repeating, yall gotta
go win this game. Im ne. It
really helped the team.
But it wasnt easy for the
Cardinals, many of whom cried
after seeing Wares gruesome in-
jury his bone protruding six
inches through his skin.
Even Louisville coach Rick Pi-
tino was emotional, wiping tears
from his eyes and later saying
that the sight of his players in-
jury almost made him vomit.
But Pitino said everyones
emotions have settled down
knowing that it appears Ware
will be OK.
I think were all ne now,
Pitino said. Just having Kevin
around, we can exhale.
The coach said having Ware in
Atlanta might provide the Car-
dinals with a little extra emo-
tion, but in his experience the
team that executes the best will
win.
Pitino and his son, Richard,
spent Monday at the hospital
with Ware, who was pictured
holding the championship tro-
phy in his bed. Though Ware
had maintained his composure
talking with AP, he became very
emotional during an earlier in-
terviewwith ESPNwhen talking
about waking up and seeing the
trophy.
The coach downplayed stay-
ing with himat the hospital after
his injury.
Theres not a coach in Amer-
ica that wouldnt be there, he
said.
And while Pitino said every-
one can exhale now, the Cardi-
nals had to take a deep breath
when Ware went down on Sun-
day. They eventually regrouped
and took the lead at halftime
against Duke en route to an 85-
63 victory over the Blue Devils
in Indianapolis.
Through it all, Ware said
he had to remain strong. He
was placed on a stretcher and
wheeled out of Lucas Oil Sta-
dium to cheers of Kevin Ware,
Kevin Ware, before heading to
Methodist Hospital.
Ware underwent a two-hour
operation to repair compound
fractures of the tibia that left the
leg at an odd angle. He awoke
the next morning to discover he
had become an overnight sensa-
tion, and the afterglow hasnt
waned.
WARE
sitting in their house just hud-
dled around because of the fact
their father was an embarrass-
ment to them, he said. I want
to tell everybody whos believed
in me that Im deeply sorry for
the pain and hardship that Ive
caused.
Athletic Director Tim Pernetti
was given a copy of the tape by
a former employee in November
and, after anindependent investi-
gator was hired to reviewit, Rice
was suspended for three games,
ned $75,000 and ordered to at-
tend anger management classes.
University President Robert Bar-
chi agreed to the penalty.
Pernetti initially said Tuesday
he and Barchi viewed the video
in December. The president is-
sued a statement Wednesday,
saying he didnt see it until Tues-
day and then moved to re the
44-year-old coach for repeated
abusive conduct. Through a
school spokesman, Pernetti
backed up his president and said
Barchi did not viewthe video un-
til this week.
Yesterday, I personally re-
viewed the video evidence,
which shows a chronic and
pervasive pattern of disturbing
behavior, Barchi said in a state-
ment. I have now reached the
conclusion that Coach Rice can-
not continue to serve effectively
in a position that demands the
highest levels of leadership, re-
sponsibility and public account-
ability. He cannot continue to
coach at Rutgers University.
The video shows numerous
clips of Rice at practice during
his three years at the school r-
ing basketballs at players, hitting
them in the back, legs, feet and
shoulders. It also shows him
grabbing players by their jerseys
and yanking them around the
court. Rice can also be heard
yelling obscenities and using gay
slurs.
Several college coaches said
they had never seen anything
like the Rutgers video and it
broke a cardinal rule: Never put
your hands on a player.
Dont tell me thats the old
way. Thats the wrong way, said
John Thompson Jr., the Hall of
Famer who led Georgetown to
the 1984 national title. Thomp-
son, the father of current Hoyas
coach John Thompson III, called
the images child abuse.
UConn womens coach Geno
Auriemma, winner of seven na-
tional titles, said there is no line
that could be drawn that would
make that behavior acceptable.
The most famous case of a
coachaccusedof abusinga player
is the one involving Bob Knight
of Indiana. The university put
him on a zero-tolerance policy in
2000 after an investigation into a
former players allegations that
the coach had choked him dur-
ing a practice. When a student
alleged that Knight grabbed him
later that year, Knight was red.

The New York Knicks Carmelo Anthony yells out looking for a foul call from the ofcials after
missing a shot in the fourth quarter of an NBA game against the Atlanta Hawks Wednesday in
Atlanta. New York won 95-82.
Anthony scores 40 as Knicks roll
ATLANTA Carmelo
Anthony scored 40 points
giving him 90 in two games
and Raymond Felton had three
straight baskets in a key spurt,
helping the New York Knicks
beat the Atlanta Hawks 95-82
on Wednesday night for their
10th straight victory.
Anthony, coming off a
50-point effort in a win over
Miami on Tuesday, scored 24
points in the rst half. He shot
17 of 27 from the eld and was
5 for 6 from the free throw line.
Felton sparked a 12-2 run
that turned a tie game into an
84-74 lead for the Knicks. He
scored eight of his 12 points in
the fourth quarter to help the
Knicks move into sole pos-
session of second place in the
Eastern Conference.
Atlanta missed an oppor-
tunity to move into a tie for
fourth in the East and wasted
a 25-point effort by Kyle Kor-
ver, who came up two points
short of his season high.
Nets 113, Cavaliers 95
CLEVELAND Deron
Williams scored 24 points and
Brooklyn ended an eight-game
road trip by crushing Cleve-
land, giving the Nets a record
for road wins in a season.
The Nets shot 83 percent
(15 of 18) in the second
quarter, when they outscored
the Cavs 38-16 and opened a
30-point lead without much
of a ght. Brooklyns 21 road
wins are the most for the
franchise, which moved to the
New York City borough from
New Jersey this season.
MarShon Brooks made his
rst 10 shots and nished with
a career-high 27 points for the
Nets, who havent played at
home since March 17 be-
cause the circus is at Barclays
Center.
Kyrie Irving scored 16
points for the Cavs, who have
lost 10 straight.
Celtics 98, Pistons 93
BOSTON Jeff Green
scored 34 points, including a
3-pointer with 45 seconds left
to snap Bostons two-minute
scoring drought, and the Celt-
ics clinched a playoff berth by
beating Detroit.
Paul Pierce and Brandon
Bass scored 17 points apiece
for the Celtics, who had lost
two in a row and seven of their
previous nine. But the victory,
coupled with Philadelphias
88-83 loss to the Charlotte
Bobcats, left Boston 8 games
ahead of the 76ers with eight
to play.
Timberwolves 107,
Bucks 98
MILWAUKEE Nikola
Pekovic scored 27 points and
Ricky Rubio added 18 points,
12 assists and eight steals to
lead Minnesota past Milwau-
kee.
Pekovic made 11 of 14
shots from the eld and also
had eight rebounds. Rubio
connected on ve of his six
attempts from 3-point range
for the Timberwolves, who
went 8-of-13 from beyond the
arc as a team and led most of
the game.
Ersan Ilyasova had 29 points
and 12 rebounds, Monta
Ellis scored 18 points and
Mike Dunleavy added 15 for
Milwaukee, which holds a
six-game lead on Philadelphia
for the nal playoff spot in the
Eastern Conference.
Bobcats 88, 76ers 83
CHARLOTTE, N.C.
Gerald Henderson scored 24
points, Kemba Walker had
17 points, 10 assists and ve
steals, and Charlotte snapped
Philadelphias three-game win-
ning streak.
Henderson had a crucial
steal late in the game and
scored four points in the nal
minute to help the Bobcats
end a three-game skid. Josh
McRoberts added 12 points
and 16 rebounds for Charlotte.
Damien Wilkins had 20
points and nine rebounds for
the 76ers, who were dealt a
big blow to their already thin
playoff hopes. Philadelphia
came in six games behind
Milwaukee for the eighth and
nal playoff spot in the East
with nine games left. Jrue Hol-
liday had a miserable shooting
night for the Sixers, going 2 of
24 from the eld and nishing
with ve points.
Raptors 88, Wizards 78
TORONTO Jonas
Valanciunas scored a career-
high 24 points and grabbed 10
rebounds to lead Toronto over
Washington.
Valanciunas went 16 of 18 at
the free throw line and DeMar
DeRozan had 25 points for
Toronto, which snapped a two-
game skid after being elimi-
nated from the playoff chase.
John Wall had 20 points for
the short-handed Wizards (28-
47), who announced before
the game that rookie standout
Bradley Beal will miss the
remainder of the season with
a right leg injury. The Raptors
are second in the NBA in free
throw shooting percentage
since the All-Star break.

PHILADELPHIA Wayne
Simmonds and Erik Gustafs-
son scored goals late in the
third period to lift the Philadel-
phia Flyers to a 5-3 win over
the Montreal Canadiens on
Wednesday night.
The Flyers had been 1-11
when trailing after two periods.
Trailing 3-2, Simmonds
tipped in the puck from the
crease for the tying goal. Less
than 2 minutes later, Gustafs-
sons pass for Matt Read went
off a defenseman and into the
net past a stunned Carey Price
for his 10th goal and a 4-3 lead.
Jakub Voracek scored an
empty-netter with 39 seconds
left.
Fighting for a playoff spot,
the Flyers have won three
straight games for the rst time
this season.
Sean Couturier and Simon

Prust and David Desharnais
scored for Montreal.
Rangers 6, Penguins 1
NEW YORK Ryane Clowe,
Derick Brassard and John
Moore injected instant offense
just hours after being acquired
by the Rangers, and New York
scored a season-high three
power-play goals in a surpris-
ingly dominant victory over the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Clowe came to New York on
Tuesday night in a trade with
San Jose, and Brassard was
part of the package New York
received on Wednesday in the
deal that sent star forward Mar-
ian Gaborik to Columbus right
before the NHL trade deadline.
Clowe scored two goals af-
ter netting none for the Sharks
in 28 games this season and
added an assist, and Brassard
had a goal and three assists
for the Rangers, who scored
three times in the rst period
and never looked back. Brian
Boyle and defenseman Ryan
McDonagh added goals, and
Henrik Lundqvist stopped 26
shots in the Rangers highest-
scoring game of the season.
The Rangers won their
second straight home game,
scoring a combined 10 goals
in the victories after a pair of
shutout losses, and moved into
a tie with the New Jersey Devils
and New York Islanders with 39
points at the bottom of the East-
ern Conference playoff race.

Jackson to
be inducted
into hall
By JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
When Ted Jackson found out
he will be inducted into the
Pennsylvania State Football
Coach Association Hall of Fame,
he was humbled.
I knew I was nominated last
year, and Im just shocked that
I got in this
year, Jackson
said. Its just
an honor. The
rst guy in-
ducted was my
high school
phys ed teach-
er who was
best friends
with my father, Luther Richards.
When my son got the thing up
on the computer and I sawsome
of the coaches that are in it, its
just an unbelievable honor and a
tribute to the Dallas kids, coach-
es and families.
The induction will take place
Saturday morning, June 15, in
Harrisburg. Jackson and the
other inductees will be honored
that night at the Big 33 Game in
Hershey.
Jackson spent 27 seasons as
Dallas head coach where his
constant success was overshad-
owed on occasion by controver-
sies. Perceived as a gruff, no-
nonsense coach, Jackson also
had a cutting sense of humor.
I might be the only guy to get
red to get in, Jackson quipped.
The Dallas School Board
opened Jacksons position after
the 2011 season. He re-applied,
but wasnt hired. He departed
with an impressive resume of a
227-83-3 record, the PIAA Class
2A state championship in 1993
and appearances in the District
2 Class 3A championship game
two of his last three years. His
Dallas teams nished with a
losing record just once. He also
served as head coach at the PS-
FCA East-West All-Star Game
and was an assistant in the Big
33 Game.
Jackson spent last season
as an assistant at Misericordia
University. He is coaching there
through spring practices as well.
The 62-year-old hasnt ruled out
a return to the high school level,
but under different circumstanc-
es. He would like to see his son,
Ted Jr., get a head coaching posi-
tion and join himas an assistant.
Jackson Jr. has been praised
throughout the coaching ranks
for his offensive gameplans. He
was recently a nalist for the
opening at Bloomsburg High
School.
Id rather see him get a job
and help him, Jackson said.
Hes good, hes better than me.
Im getting in the Hall of Fame
and hes better than me. Any-
body who has coached against
him knows that. I just hope
something would fall for him
somewhere and my whole staff
would go with him.
Jackson will be the third
Wyoming Valley Conference
coach to be inducted in the last
four classes. Hanover Areas Al
Kopacz had the honor last year.
Paul Marranca was chosen in
2010. Marranca spent the ma-
jority of his coaching career at
Wyoming Area with brief stops
at Nanticoke and Hazleton Area.
Other WVC coaches in the
hall include Richards and Char-
lie Fick of GAR, Meyers Mickey
Gorham and Wyoming Valley
Wests Jim Fennell.

Flashback early 9-5
favorite for Santa Anita
ARCADIA, Calif. Flashback
is the early 9-5 favorite for the
$750,000 Santa Anita Derby this
weekend, although the 3-year-
old colt will break from the rail,
a position his Hall of Fame train-
er Bob Baffert famously dislikes.
Baffert skipped Wednesdays
post position draw, saying he al-
ways gets jinxed when he shows
up. He says hell just have to
make the best of the No. 1 posi-
tion in the starting gate.

SAN ANTONIO Rory Mc-
Ilroys last-minute, last-ditch ef-
fort to right his game in time for
the Masters next week has taken
a trip to a usually out-of-the-way
spot on the PGA Tour. McIlroy
and three other highly-ranked
players in the Ofcial World Golf
Rankings start play in the Valero
Texas Open on Thursday at TPC
San Antonio.
It obviously was a last-minute
decision to come and play here
in San Antonio, McIlroy said af-
ter his pro-am round Wednesday
was washed out by rainstorms
on his 13th hole. But from what
I see I like it. It should be a good
week, a week where I can try to
get my game sharp going to Au-
gusta.
Big-name players dont often
seek the Greg Norman-designed
Oaks Course at TPC to sharpen
their games.
Last year only two members
of golfs top 50 (no one in the
top 15) played on a course that
ended with the highest overall
scoring average on tour except
the PGA Championship at Ki-
awah Islands Ocean Course.
McIlroy uses Texas Open to get sharp for Augusta

www.timesleader.com TIMES LEADER PAGE 10B THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 2013 C O L L E G E S
NEW YORK (AP) -- The cur-
rent Big East will be called the
American Athletic Conference
starting next season.
The conference announced
the decision Wednesday after
university presidents approved
the new moniker earlier in the
day.
The Big East football schools
were in need of a new name af-
ter they agreed to let seven bas-
ketball schools break away from
the conference to start a new
league this summer to be called
the Big East. In return, the foot-
ball schools received about $100
million of a $110 million pot the
league had accumulated in re-
cent years from exit and entry
fees and NCAA basketball tour-
nament revenue.
The American Athletic Con-
ference will have 10 members in
its rst season: Rutgers, Louis-
ville, Connecticut, South Flori-
da, Cincinnati, Central Florida,
Memphis, Houston, SMU and
Temple.
Rutgers and Louisville are
likely leaving after 2013 and
are set to be replaced by Tu-
lane, East Carolina and Tulsa in
2014. Navy is scheduled to join
in 2015 for football only, and the
conference will begin playing a
league championship football
game.
Nine of the schools set to
compete in the American Ath-
letic Conference were at one
time part of Conference USA.

NEW ORLEANS The sub-
title to the 2013 womens Final
Four might as well be: The Big
East throws one last bash in the
Big Easy.
Three of the four teams
Connecticut, Louisville and
Notre Dame hail from a
league that has long thrived in
both womens and mens college
basketball, but which is breaking
apart after this season.
I guess the shout-out should
go out to all the (university)
presidents for having the fore-
sight to tear apart the greatest
basketball conference that ever
existed, UConn coach Geno Au-
riemma sarcastically said during
a womens Final Four coaches
conference call Wednesday, not-
ing that two teams in the mens
Final Four (Louisville and Syra-
cuse) also are from the Big East.
But I guess its a great swan
song.
If its going to end, this is a
great way for it to end.
At this point, only California
of the Pac-12 could spoil the
party for those who want to see
the current Big East take home
one last womens national title,
which would be its ninth.
Connecticut is the only one of
the three current Big East teams
in the womens Final Four that is
currently committed to remain-
ing in the conference, which is
adding a handful of new schools,
losing others (including Notre
Dame this summer and Lou-
isville in 2014) and changing
names it will be the American
Athletic Conference.
Still, Notre Dame coach Muf-
fet McGraw said her team takes
pride in being part of a league
that has three teams left stand-
ing, and which will have at least
one team in the nal after Notre
Dame and UConn meet in a
third straight national seminal
on Sunday night.
Im thrilled for the Big East.
I think it proves we were the
best conference, McGraw said.
I dont think that there was any
question when you have two No.
1 seeds coming out of the same
conference.
But to see Louisville join us
in the Final Four I think shows
what depth and strength we had
in the Big East.
Its a little sad to think that
next year well be gone, the year
after Louisville will be gone,
McGraw added. A shame it has
to end, but what a way to go
out.

Minnesota turns to
FIUs Richard Pitino
MINNEAPOLIS Richard
Pitino was regarded as one of the
nations up-and-coming young
coaches at Florida International
and comes with a last name that
draws immediate respect in all
corners of college basketball.
That combination was too
good for Minnesota to pass up.
Pitino has agreed to take
over for the red Tubby Smith,
the university announced on
Wednesday evening. Athletic di-
rector Norwood Teague said the
nal terms of the contract would
be worked out as the week goes
on and Pitino was expected to be
introduced by Friday.
In his lone season at Florida
International, the son of Louis-
ville coach Rick Pitino led the
Panthers to an 18-14 record, the
schools rst winning season in
13 years. He turns 31 in Septem-
ber, tting the prole of a rising
star that Teague has preferred to
hire in the past.
Smith, who was red last
week after six seasons at Minne-
sota, was hired at Texas Tech on
Monday.
Finding a replacement for
Smith, who brought the Golden
Gophers to three NCAA tourna-
ments and delivered the pro-
grams rst tourney victory since
1997 with a win over UCLA this
year, was a somewhat laborious
task.
Many expected Teague and
associate athletic director Mike
Ellis two men considered to
have strong contacts in the col-
lege basket-
ball coaching
world to go
for a big name
to bring a dif-
ferent energy
into a program
they felt had hit
a wall.
But Shaka Smart, who was
hired by Teague at VCU, and
Iowa States Fred Hoiberg par-
layed interest from Minnesota
into lucrative long-term deals
to remain at their schools. Alum
and former NBA coach Flip
Saunders turned down an offer
last weekend, and the Gophers
reportedly swung and missed at
several other candidates as well,
including Butlers Brad Stevens.
In the end, Pitinos pedigree
and connections to another top
coach in Floridas Billy Donovan
may have sealed the deal and
assuaged any concerns about a
relative lack of head coaching
experience. Teague hired Smart
off Donovans staff, and the char-
ismatic young coach took VCU
to the Final Four. Before Smart,
Teague worked with Anthony
Grant, another former assistant
of Donovans.
In addition to working with
his father at Louisville, Richard
Pitino served briey on Dono-
vans staff with the Gators.
The great thing about Billy
and my dad, theyre always will-
ing to give me advice, Pitino
told The Associated Press in
February. They understand
where Im at.

Has Michigan turned
a corner defensively?
By NOAH TRISTER
AP Sports Writer
ATLANTA Michigan had
all season to improve its de-
fense, yet it still looked hopeless
as recently as the Big Ten tour-
nament.
The Wolverines gave up 51
points in the second half of a
loss to Wisconsin not exactly
a harbinger of good things to
come with the NCAA tourna-
ment on deck.
Eventhoughit didnt look it to
all of you or to me sometimes,
this year we have worked on
defense like crazy, coach John
Beilein said this week.
Michigan has now won four
straight to reach the Final Four
and although the Wolverines
may not have totally solved
their defensive problems, they
have been a bit stingier of late.
Michigan was fortunate to beat
Kansas on a night the Wolver-
ines didnt play well on defense,
but that was the only NCAA
tournament game theyve come
close to losing.
In victories over Florida, Vir-
ginia Commonwealth and South
Dakota State, Michigan showed
it can indeed stop quality oppo-
sition from scoring.
I think a lot of that just goes
to our attention to detail, and us
being prepared going into the
game, star point guard Trey
Burke said. We know its all or
nothing now. You lose, you go
home, your seasons over with.
Michigan began the season
20-1, and from the very start,
the Wolverines looked poised
beyond their years on offense.
Burke is a sophomore and guard
TimHardaway Jr. is a junior, but
Michigan also relies on fresh-
men Glenn Robinson III, Nik
Stauskas and Mitch McGary.
There might not be a team
in the country with better ow
and rhythm on offense, but op-
ponents have been pretty com-
fortable, too. The Wolverines
went through long stretches of
passive play on defense, allow-
ing 81 points in a loss at Indi-
ana and 75 in a loss at Michigan
State. The low point may have
been an 84-78 loss at Penn State
in late February.
Once ranked No. 1 in the
country, the team fell all the
way to a No. 4 seed in the NCAA
tournament after giving up that
51-point half in a loss to Wiscon-
sin in the Big Ten tournament
last month. Beilein has become
known for his 1-3-1 zone over
the years, but Michigan hasnt
played much of it this season.
The coach indicated a fewweeks
ago he thought the zone wasnt
very effective with this team.
There were some adjustments
the Wolverines could make
wiry freshman Caris LeVert
gives Michigan a boost with his
athleticismbut it seemed like
only a matter of time before an
opponent had a big day offen-
sively and ended the season for
Beileins team.
It hasnt happened yet.
Michigans rst NCAA tour-
nament game was against
South Dakota State and high-
scoring guard Nate Wolters.
The Wolverines held Wolters
to 10 points on 3-of-14 shoot-
ing in a 71-56 win. In the next
round, Michigan routed VCU
78-53. The Rams werent able
to force enough turnovers with
their press, so they had to score
in their halfcourt offense and
couldnt do it consistently.
The Wolverines, meanwhile,
are even more dangerous offen-
sively when theyre defending
well because defensive stops
can create chances for Burke,
Hardaway and Robinson to get
out in transition.
With a young team, they do
understand fast break, Beilein
said. We can play in space on a
fast break. Well, we fast break if
we play defense.

April Fools DAy
on the internet is
always interesting.
Hundreds of
well-known websites
pull out all the stops,
plying visitors with
rich media presentations on imaginary
products and ridiculous features or ser-
vices. in many cases, these were pretty
funny or downright neat.
i thought Google Nose, a search
engine for smells, was pretty clever.
i guarantee that somewhere, some-
one (no doubt after a surreptitious
glance to see if anyone was around)
bought it just enough that they actu-
ally leaned forward and smelled their
computer screen.
Then, of course, there was Netix,
which added categories such as real-
ity TV about people with No Concept
of reality, surreal Ballets Based on
a William shatner Album and TV
shows Where Deantly Crossed Arms
Mean Business.
youTube got in on the act, post-
ing an announcement that the whole
website was actually a giant contest
and that it was going to go through
every video ever uploaded to youTube
(probably a mathematical impossibil-
ity at this point) to select a winner.
Twitter also joined in by revealing
Twttr tweets without vowels
would be free, and if you wanted to be
ostentatious and use an a or an i,
youd have to buy a vowel.
And who could forget Google Maps,
and its supposed discovery of Captain
Kidds pirate maps, which enabled a
Treasure Map mode in addition to the
usual terrain and satellite views?
in some cases, particularly those of
Google and youTube, you could tell
that a lot of effort (and money, most
likely) went into producing these April
Fools jokes, which in their cases prob-
ably served a valid marketing purpose.
on one hand, its good to know that
even massive corporations can afford
to cut loose and have a little fun every
once in a while.
on the other hand, there are plenty
of people out there who will believe
just about anything they read on the
internet, just because it happens to
be on a computer; for every ve or 10
people who chuckled at the video pro-
claiming youTube was going to shut
down, there are at least one or two
telling all their friends that youTube
really is closing, or that Twitter is go-
ing to start charging for vowels.
There are also people out there that
just dont have a sense of humor. They
might nd the levity annoying, or
perhaps it doesnt occur to themthat
its possible to bypass or ignore the joke.
some of these people might fall into the
category of overly credulous as well.
And therein lies the lesson: youre
using the internet at your own risk.
you have little to no control over
most of the sites you visit, and if their
owners decide to have a little fun with
you even if theyre industry giants
such as Apple and Google thats
their prerogative.
More to the point: Even at the best
of times, you should take everything
you see online with a grain of salt
both on and after April Fools Day.
On the web, dont be taken for a fool any day of year

Home prices surge in Feb.
U.s. home prices jumped in Febru-
ary by the largest amount in seven
years, evidence that the housing
recovery strengthened ahead of the all-
important spring-buying season.
Home prices rose 10.2 percent in
February compared with a year earlier,
Corelogic, a real estate data provider,
said Wednesday. The annual gain was
the biggest since March 2006. prices
have now increased on an annual basis
for 12 consecutive months, underscor-
ing the recoverys steady momentum.
The gains were broad-based. prices
rose in 47 of 50 states and in all but
four of the nations 100 largest metro
areas. Delaware, Alabama and illinois
were the only states to report price
declines.
Survey: Hiring slows in March
A survey shows U.s. companies
added fewer jobs in March compared
with the previous month, as construc-
tion rms held off on hiring after three
months of solid gains.
private employers added 158,000
jobs last month, payroll processor ADp
said Wednesday. Thats down from
Februarys gain of 237,000 and Janu-
arys 177,000.
Construction companies didnt
add any jobs in March, after average
monthly gains of 29,000 in the previ-
ous three months.

A worker tears off the leaves of a Vidalia onion plant before planting its roots into the soil on an onion farm in
Lyons, Ga. Sweeping immigration legislation taking shape in the Senate will aim to dramatically overhaul the na-
tions agriculture worker program to create a steady supply of labor.
Farmlabor programtaking root
WAsHiNGToN sweeping im-
migration legislation taking shape in
the senate will aim to overhaul the
nations agriculture worker program
to create a steady supply of labor for
farmers and growers, who rely more
than any other industry on workers
who are living in the country illegally.
Farm workers already here would
get a speedier path to legal status than
other immigrants here illegally, and a
likely newvisa programwould make it
easier for foreign workers to come to
the United states. policymakers aim
to install such workers in place of the
half or more of the nations farm labor
workforce estimated to be in the coun-
try illegally.
Negotiators have been working to
nalize an agreement in time for the
measure to be included in bipartisan
legislation expected to be released
next week, but disagreements on wag-
es and numbers of visas are proving
tough to solve.
labor groups are accusing grow-
ers of pushing to lower farmworkers
wages, while growers dispute that
and say they want to pay a fair wage.
Meanwhile, labor is resisting grow-
ers attempts to increase the potential
numbers of new workers who would
come in, as growers argue their indus-
trys viability depends on a strong new
labor supply.
it comes down to either were im-
porting our labor or were importing
our food, and if we dont have access
to a legal supply of labor we will start
going offshore, said Kristi Boswell,
director of congressional relations for
the American Farm Bureau Federa-
tion.
The issue has gotten little public
attention in an immigration debate fo-
cused on securing the border, creating

BosToN Americans have
grown more cautious and disci-
plined in handling their money
since the nancial crisis struck in
2008, a survey by a leading mutual
fund company suggests.
people say they dont spend as
much, save as little or embrace as
much risk as they did before the cri-
sis, according to a survey of nearly
1,200 people by Fidelity invest-
ments.
As a group, people say theyre sav-
ing more in 401(k) retirement plans
and reducing debt.
survey participants were inter-
viewed over two weeks in February,
nearly ve years after a meltdown of
risky mortgage investments caused
home and stock prices to sink, sent
unemployment soaring and nearly
toppled the U.s. nancial system.
Not until last month did the Dow
Jones industrial average regain its
pre-crisis high.
Key survey ndings include:
* Fifty-six percent of respondents
said theyve gone from being scared
or confused about managing their
money to condent or prepared ve
years later.
* Forty-two percent are now con-
tributing more to workplace savings
plans such as 401(k)s or to individ-
ual retirement accounts or health-
savings accounts. only 5 percent are
contributing less, and 53 percent say
theyre making no changes.
* Fifty-ve percent said they feel
better prepared for retirement than
they did before the crisis.

SECTI ON C
NEWYORKThe NewYork Aquar-
ium has cherished its big-city setting
by the sea for half a century. But the
ocean that is the aquariums lifeblood
dealt it a shattering blow last fall.
Superstorm Sandys surge overran
carefully calibrated tanks with oily,
debris-lled water, knocked out even
backup power to all the exhibits and
made it impossible to check on some of
them for days. Managers contemplated
shipping animals away and wondered
whether the institution itself could sur-
vive in its spot on Coney Island.
Five months later, more than 80
percent of the collection is intact, and
visitors should be able to see walruses,
angelsh, otters and others when about
half the aquarium reopens late spring.
A planned expansion remains on track,
nowcoupled with rebuilding and ood-
proong an institution that aims to be
an object lesson in enduring on the
shore.
I dont think we could abandon this
facility. Not that we didnt think about
it we thought through everything,
aquarium Director Jon Forrest Dohlin
said this week as he stood amid pipes
and cables in a now-empty jellysh ex-
hibit.

A FEW TIPS FOR
CHILDREN
Wait for the host before
you sit.
Put your napkin on your
lap before eating.
Never play with your
utensils
No licking your utensils
ever.
Never say you dont like
something; it hurts peoples
feelings
Certain foods should be
eaten with a fork. Never use
a spoon for mashed pota-
toes, kiddos.

at the Waverly Community House on
March 16. There they learned polite
table manners, beginner dining skills
and behavior at the table. They prac-
ticed their skills with pastries and juice
at the end of the class.
The class was the rst of two that
day Kryston taught, aided by commu-
nity-center student volunteers Camilla
Jones, 17, and Eleanor Wilson, 19, both
of Waverly. Later in the day, Kryston
had 20 students in the 8-to-14-year-
old group in the Dining Boot Camp
for Kids session to polish their table
manners and dining skills. Both groups
also used booklets Kryston provided to
supplement their lessons.

want to be able to talk to the
community about what we did,
how we handled this, and how
the city of New York can start
to look toward the future of
living in this coastal environ-
ment.
As he walked through the
14-acre grounds, penguins
watched like squat sentries
from their outdoor habitat.
Walruses snoozed as sea lions
arced through the air on their
trainers cues, staying in prac-
tice for shows to resume in a
few months. Angelsh and oth-
er tropical species shimmered
around a coral reef and hefty
pacu, a fruit-eating piranha
relative, hovered in an Amazo-
nian display in the one build-
ing where exhibit space wasnt
ooded.
But the effects of the Oct. 29
storm were still starkly visible
elsewhere.
The oor was torn out of a
building that houses jellysh,
seahorses, lungsh and other
unusual creatures. Many were
still there but set to start mov-
ing next month to other aquari-
ums while their facility is re-
built. The open pool in front
of it was drained dry; it housed
hundreds of freshwater koi that
died in the saltwater surge.
Sharks, sea turtles and rays
circled serenely in a tank in the
aquariums veterinary hospital.
Theyre healthy but were shut-
tled there after the storm put
an exclamation point on plans
to reinvent its exhibit. Nearby,
the gutted cafeteria still has
Happy Halloween! signs on
its windows.
Theres no rm date yet for
this springs partial reopening.
The rest of the exhibits, includ-
ing the new $120 million shark
display, are to open in 2016.
Meanwhile, the Wildlife Con-
servation Society, which runs
the aquarium, is determining
how much insurance and gov-
ernment aid may pay toward
xing roughly $65 million in
estimated damage.
The aquarium was founded
in 1896 in lower Manhattan. It
moved in 1957 to Coney Island,
a faded seaside playground now
striving for rebirth. Drawing
more than 750,000 visitors a
year, its the economic engine
for Coney Island, says City
Councilman Domenic Recchia
Jr., who represents the area.
Aquariums are often built
by the water and have proven
vulnerable to hurricanes. New
Orleans Audubon Aquarium of
the Americas lost thousands of
sh when generators failed af-
ter Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
It reopened about ve months
later.

Protocol. She not only teaches
children but instructs business
professionals on etiquette and
social manners, though the ma-
jority of her requests for lessons
come from parents who want
them for their children. Schools
also request her services.
I teach dining skills, social
etiquette, communication stan-
dards the whole gamut,
Kryston said, noting those are
important for making a good im-
pression in business and in life.
The hardest people to reach
are the older people, because of
egos, she said, adding, Busi-
ness professionals are about
making an impression. If their
table manners are sloppy, may-
be their work is sloppy.
The biggest etiquette blunder
she sees?
People fail to put their nap-
kin on their lap, Kryston said.
The younger kids, the hardest
thing for them is handling uten-
sils properly.
She said the rst group of
children that day knew they
shouldnt chew with their
mouths open, but she also tried
to instill another no-no.
The biggest thing is youre
not supposed to say, I dont like
something, Kryston said. It
hurts peoples feelings.
Kindness, courtesy and re-
spect are important.
Just try something, she urg-
es her students.
Why cant parents just teach
their children the rules of eti-
quette, as well as manners,
which are how those rules are
applied?
People feel that when you
get a professional involved,
it reinforces what parents are
teaching, she said. Some want
(their children) to have that so-
cial experience with other chil-
dren. Sometimes parents focus
on ballet, soccer they dont
think about life skills.
Jen Puksta of Waverly brought
her two boys, Charlie, 10, and
Nate, 8, to the second class for
them to understand why man-
ners are necessary.
And, so that Im not nagging
them every time we go out to
dinner, she added. So many
people dont have manners.
Her sons conceded before the
class it might not be so bad.
I think its sort of cool, Char-
lie said.
I think itll be fun, Nate add-
ed quietly.
When Kryston started the
second session of 17 girls and
three boys, most agreed with
her that they had come because
their moms made them; one
girl even said no when Kryston
asked if they wanted to be there.
But sitting at long tables set
up in a U shape before Kryston,
they seemed to pay attention as
their instructor told them of the
importance of etiquette in jobs
and in life.
Kryston tried to make it fun,
too, as she described the proper
utensils and glasses to use and
repeated a rhyme to illustrate
how to eat soup without drip-
ping it on ones lap.
As little ships sail out to sea,
I dip my spoon away from me,
she recited.
Rosemary Malloy of Waverly,
who brought granddaughters
Anna and Maggie Kosierowski
to the second class, said she
also took her ve daughters to
etiquette classes at the center
when they were young.
Its a crazy world, she said.
Its good children learn proper
etiquette. Its a lost art.

Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My hus-
band, Wade, and
I went into a con-
venience store near
our home that we
frequent regularly. A
new employee a
pretty, much younger
girl stared at Wade with an expres-
sion of recognition and surprise on
her face. When I asked him what that
was about, he laughed it off and said I
was imagining things.
The next time we saw her, Wade
acted nervous and started talking
fast, as if trying to distract me. He
seemed to be avoiding eye contact
with her. She ignored me while obvi-
ously trying to lock eyes with Wade.
The third time, she again ignored me
but smirked and giggled while we
were checking out. Then she shouted,
See ya later! to my husband as we
were walking out the door. When I
turned, I caught Wade glaring at her.
When I asked why he did it, he
replied, I looked at her like that be-
cause she was acting like an idiot.
When I asked why shed be acting
like an idiot if they didnt know each
other, he started screaming. He called
me crazy and threatened to leave me
if I bring the subject up again.
Should I ask her why she seems so
amused by my husband? And why is
he angry at me?
Smells Something Fishy
Dear Smells: By all means ask be-
cause Ill bet she is dying to tell you.
Your husband may have been see-
ing her or someone she knows. He
attacked you because he felt guilty
about something and didnt want to
discuss it.
It proves the truth of the adage,
The best defense is a strong of-
fense. Believe me, you have my
sympathy, but you need to get to the
bottom of this, so dont put it off.
Dear Abby: What do you call ad-
ditions to your family that result
from second or third marriages? Our
daughter died several years ago. I re-
fer to her widower as my son-in-law,
but what term should I use when I
introduce his new wife? She has two
daughters from a previous marriage
sweet girls who call me Grand-
dad. Technically, they are not my
granddaughters but what are they?
These are just two examples of
modern relationships that seem to
require a new vocabulary. I have tried
searching the Internet for answers
without luck. Any suggestions?
Family Man in Texas
Dear Family Man: When introduc-
ing your late daughters husband and
his wife, try this: This is my son-in-
law Sam and his wife, Virginia. If
youre asked for clarification, which I
doubt will happen, give more details.
As to the womans daughters who
are not blood related to you, because
they call you Granddad, refer to
them as your granddaughters and
leave it at that.
Dear Abby: Where does the priest
get the ashes for Ash Wednesday?
Mary in Vista, Calif.
Dear Mary: Traditionally, palm
branches from the previous years
Palm Sunday are burned, and those
ashes are retained for the next years
Ash Wednesday. Some people keep
the palm fronds from the last Palm
Sunday tucked behind a cross or a
religious picture in their home and
bring them to be burned.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman thinks she sees trouble in the eyes of husband and store clerk
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-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 Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The wind
does not command the sailboat.
If that were true, all boats would
wind up in the same place. The
way you set your sails deter-
mines the direction you go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). All of
the scenarios that didnt work
out led you to the situations that
worked brilliantly. Today, you do
not even mind which way it goes,
because you know both have
equal merit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do not
confuse nurturing with being
soft. Nurturing is a way of letting
others relax enough to grow into
the next move. Today will show
you that you can be nurturing
and still be tough.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The
No. 1 rule of remaining a bit
mysterious is to avoid answering
questions that were not asked of
you. This is an excellent principle
to apply to todays negotiations.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youre not
asking that every day be epic,
but youre a little tired of the
same old, same old right now,
and youre not sure how best to
mix it up. Luckily, a fresh face in
your scene will do that for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Laughing hard is noisy. Laughing
harder is silent. Its as if the
hilarity itself takes over and the
noise cant come out. Thats the
cosmic gift of the day: extreme
humor.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Even
innocent people sometimes clam
up when the police are around.
Why is this? The mere idea of
authority has a way of making us
ultra-accountable. You can use
this principle to maintain order.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Fellow
Scorpio Zig Ziglar made the
point that calling traffic lights
stop lights is pessimistic
because they are also go
lights. You will find more opti-
mistic ways of expressing your-
self in your present good mood!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Some long to know what people
think of them but not you, not
now anyway. You are so busy
doing your thing that you dont
even care if they think of you,
just as long as they stay out of
your way. Youre on a mission.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You
dont have to be No. 1 overall
to be the very best. Youre not
really in competition with anyone
else anyway today. No one would
have the first clue about what it
takes to be the best you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The
moon lends you an extra dollop
of influence. Youll be surprised
at how much inspiration you
can deliver when you look into
another persons eyes and smile.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Its
rare when this happens, but it
will happen today. Youll get this
indescribably profound feeling,
and youll just know that youre
in the right place at the right
time and its all OK.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 4). It
will be an ego-boosting year, and
youll have to be careful not to
get a big head over all the atten-
tion you get! A new responsibili-
ty puts you in charge this month.
Power doesnt interest you, but
making a difference will. Youll
trade in an old habit for improve-
ments in June. Your lucky num-
bers are: 3, 5, 50, 25 and 14.
