WILKES-BARRE Rachel

Wolfe was an 84-year-old

grandmother and great-grand-
mother who was full of life,
two of her granddaughters tes-
tied Monday.
The Berwick woman known
as Gram and GG enjoyed
morning wa-
ter aerobics,
gardening and
spending time
with her fam-
ily until she
was killed in a
crash on Jan.
4, 2012.
She was
the most loving and caring
individual Ive ever met, her
granddaughter Megan Kiliti
said Monday before Theodore
Luciw was sentenced to ve
to 10 years in state prison on
a charge of homicide by motor
vehicle while driving under
the inuence. It wasnt her
time.
Luciw was charged with
causing the wreck after police
said he was traveling at high
speed while trying to pass
another vehicle in the turn
only lane on Route 11 in Sa-
lem Township. His vehicle col-
lided head-on with Wolfes car.
Luciw, 51, of Berwick, had
a blood-alcohol level of 0.263
percent, more than three
times the legal limit of 0.8
percent for an adult driver in
Pennsylvania.
His attorney, Demetrius
Fannick, said his client began
a downward spiral over the
past decade after his longtime
companion died of cancer.
Her death was a traumatic
event that caused him to
start drinking, Fannick said,
adding that in no way is that
an excuse for his clients ac-
tions.
Luciwhas been seeking help
for his addiction to alcohol
while locked up at the Luzerne
County Correctional Facility
and is eager to do what he can
to shake the habit.
WILKES-BARREClowns,
elephants, tigers, bears, acro-
bats and protesters the cir-
cus is back in town.
While dedicated animal
rights activists stood out in the
rain and peacefully protested
outside, the 64th Irem Shrine
Circus got under way inside
Monday afternoon in the 109th
Field Artillery Armory before a
packed house of painted-faced,
cotton candy-eating children
and hundreds of others.
We usually come here every
year, said Maria Coppola of
Mountain Top Kids Day Care
Center. They love it here.
Coppola and her sister, Ve-
lia, brought about 32 children
to the rst performance of the
week-long circus. The kids
were slurping slushies, wear-
ing cotton candy on their faces
and sporting face-painted de-
signs.
I want to see the elephants,
one little girl yelled.
I like the tigers, a little boy
said.
Silvie Pomichter, president
of Voice of the Animals, likes
tigers and elephants and all
animals just not in the cir-
cus. Pomichter and about ve
of her groups members in-
cluding a pink and gray el-
ephant (Judy Popso) held
signs and passed out litera-
ture to those who would take
it. The signs said: Animals
dont belong in circuses and
Circus animals are starved,
beaten and chained. Popsos
sign just asked people to Be
an elefriend.
Pomichter said she has been
protesting for 28 years. She
said sometimes it gets frustrat-
ing, but sometimes the groups
message gets through and
people decide not to attend the
circus.
People are so brainwashed,
she said. They think circus
animals act the way they do in
their natural environment. It
just isnt true.
There were 35 trafc-related
fatalities in Luzerne County
last year, more than twice the
number in Lackawanna County
and many more than in other
area counties.
The good news is that the
number represents a 14.6 per-
cent decrease in fatal crashes
since 2011, when there were
41.
The deaths in Luzerne Coun-
ty were among 1,310 people
killed in crashes on roads
throughout Pennsylvania in
2012, the third-lowest number
on record and 24 more than in
2011, according to the Pennsyl-
vania Department of Transpor-
tation.
PennDOT data from police
reports also show that there
were 124,062 crashes on state
roadways in 2012, a decrease
from125,322 in 2011 and fewer
than the 144,542 state crashes
15 years ago.
While highway fatalities in-
creased last year, were encour-
aged that, historically, deaths
on our roadways are trend-
ing downward. However, our
highway safety mission will
continue, PennDOT Secre-
tary Barry J. Schoch said in a
prepared statement. Each life
lost on our highways is some-
ones relative or loved one, and
we keep that in the forefront
of our minds when we pursue
engineering, education and
enforcement tactics aimed at
keeping our roads safe.
After the December 2011
implementation of increased
driving safety requirements for
young drivers, signed into law
by Gov. Tom Corbett, fatalities
in crashes involving a 16- or
17-year-old driver decreased to
44 22 fewer than in 2011 and

CHICAGO Mexican drug
cartels whose operatives once
rarely ventured beyond the U.S.
border are dispatching some
of their most trusted agents to
live and work deep inside the
United States an emboldened
presence that experts believe is
meant to tighten their grip on
the worlds most lucrative narcot-
ics market and maximize prots.
If left unchecked, authorities
say, the cartels move into the
American interior could render
the syndicates harder than ever
to dislodge and pave the way for
them to expand into other crimi-
nal enterprises such as prostitu-
tion, kidnapping-and-extortion
rackets and money laundering.
Cartel activity in the U.S. is
certainly not new. Starting in the
1990s, the ruthless syndicates
became the nations No. 1 sup-
plier of illegal drugs, using unaf-
liated middlemen to smuggle
cocaine, marijuana and heroin
beyond the border or even to
grow pot here.
But a wide-ranging Associ-
ated Press reviewof federal court
cases and government drug-en-
forcement data, plus interviews
with many top law enforcement
ofcials, indicate the groups
have begun deploying agents
from their inner circles to the
United States. Cartel operatives
are suspected of running drug-
distribution networks in at least
nine non-border states, often in
middle-class suburbs in the Mid-
west, South and Northeast.
Its probably the most seri-
ous threat the United States has
faced from organized crime,
said Jack Riley, head of the Drug
Enforcement Administrations
Chicago ofce.
The cartel threat looms so
large that one of Mexicos most
notorious drug kingpins a
man who has never set foot in
Chicago was recently named
the citys Public Enemy No. 1,
the same notorious label once as-
signed to Al Capone.

Casey now supports gay marriage
Saying letters from gay, les-
bian and transgender constitu-
ents have made a deep impact
on him, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey-
says he now believes the gov-
ernment should not deny gay
people the right to marry.
He said he has chosen to
support the repeal of the fed-
eral law that
denes mar-
riage as be-
tween one
man and one
woman.
These let-
ters included
deeply per-
sonal statements from people
across our Commonwealth,
and the questions they posed
challenged me directly. These
stories had a substantial impact
on my position on this issue. If
two people of the same sex fall
in love and want to marry, why
would our government stand in
their way? Casey, D-Scranton,
asked in a statement released
late Monday afternoon.
At a time when many Ameri-
cans lament a lack of commit-
ment in our society between
married men and women, why
would we want less commit-
ment and fewer strong marriag-
es? If two people of the same
sex want to raise children, why
would our government prevent
them from doing so, especially
when so many children have
only one parent or none at all?
Casey has a record of sup-
porting gay rights in the mili-
tary and the workplace, but
his support of the right of gay
couples to participate in civil
unions, but not marry, had been
his stance until Monday.
When the Respect for Mar-
riage Act (the legislation that
repeals the Defense of Marriage
Act) was rst introduced and
debated in the Senate in 2011,
I began to focus on the issue of
same-sex marriage much more
intensely than I had before. As
a candidate for the Senate in
2006 and 2012 and as a senator,
I have supported civil unions.
I also supported strongly the
repeal of Dont Ask Dont Tell,
was a leading co-sponsor of the
Employment Non-Discrimina-
tion Act, and had stated public-
ly that I opposed efforts to en-
act constitutional prohibitions
on same-sex marriage, Casey
said in his statement.
In the six years I have been
in the Senate, there have not

BEAR CREEK TWP. A
new bus stop will mean addi-
tional revenue for the township
after supervisors on Monday
approved an arrangement that
will allow a Martz Trailways
pickup station near the town-
ship building.
Supervisors unanimously ap-
proved a resolution allowing
the bus company to schedule
regular pickups for some New
York City, Philadelphia and At-
lantic City trips in parking lots
just off state Route 115 near the
turnpike entrance.
While nal details still need
to be resolved, Martz General
Manager Bob Chepalonis and
the supervisors discussed an
arrangement in which Martz
ticket agents in the downtown
station at the intermodal would
sell a parking pass along with
the passenger ticket that riders
would display on the dash of
their cars while they are parked
in the township lot.
Insurance would be provided
by Martz, and the fee collected
would offset any additional
costs of having cars parked dur-
ing the day trips, according to
discussion at the meeting.
If a suggested fee of $3 per
car were collected, the arrange-
ment could generate a pos-
sible $10,000 a year in revenue
for Bear Creek, which Board
Chairman Gary Zingaretti not-
ed is approximately one tenth
of the income generated from
property taxes and more than
the windmills.
It is anticipated the new bus
pickup spots will be in service
beginning late April and early
May.
The supervisors also dis-
cussed several improvement
projects in the township and
approved soliciting bids for
two paving projects and a park
renovation.
Bids will be solicited for the
paving of Weiss Road, while
engineers are estimating how
much of the project will be
covered by a $175,000 gaming
grant that the township suc-
cessfully pursued after return-
ing approximately the same
amount from a previous grant
that was in excess of the cost of
a culvert repair project.
The township was unsuc-
cessful in receiving state grant
funds for the paving of roads in
Laurel Brook, but will bid out
the project in sections so that
the work can be done to make
best use of available township
funds.
The board also approved
bidding out improvements to
Trailwood Park, including a
paved walking trail, a small
pavilion and steps on a steeply
graded slope between the park
and its parking lot.
In other business, the board
approved two proposed sub-
divisions, one on Route 115
across from Forest Park and
the other on Laurel Run Road.
They also noted that pothole
repairs will begin now that the
weather is warming.

In other matters:
Supervisors adopted a res-
olution to change Flat Road in
the township from an R2 resi-
dential zone to an agricultural
and commercial zone. Supervi-
sor Chairwoman Gale Conrad
said no homes can be in that
area due to the ooding.
NEPA Alliances Alan
Baranski said the townships
status is in good shape this
time of the year regarding the
earned income tax. The rst
quarter of the year is typically
lean, Baranski said, but the
addition of the $25,000 check
from the Centax settlement
put the township ahead of
where it normally is this time
of year.
Baranski also said the re-
covery project is progressing
and that the township is in
good shape.

KINGSTON Municipal
Council took care of several
matters of business during
Mondays regular meeting de-
spite the absences of Mayor
James Haggerty, Administrator
Paul Keating and three of the
boroughs seven council mem-
bers.
The four members present
voted unanimously to enter
into a new agreement with For-
ty Fort for code enforcement
services. Under the new agree-
ment, Kingston will pay Forty
Fort $50,000 over the course of
the year for the efforts of code
enforcement agent Stephen
Nowroski.
In 2012, the same services
were provided to Kingston, but
the borough paid monthly bills
based on how many inspec-
tions were performed.
In other matters, the council
members voted unanimously
to approve the purchase of new
mobile computer systems for
municipal re and EMS trucks
at a cost of $28,271.
It is anticipated that the new
computer systems will enhance
the boroughs response and
coordination efforts in times
of emergencies in Kingston as
well as neighboring communi-
ties.
The council also voted unani-
mously to award a landscaping
contract for all municipal prop-
erties to Lawn and Turf Mainte-
nance for $3,499. The work to
be performed by the company
will be that which is tradition-
ally beyond the scope of what
the boroughs Department of
Public Works can offer.
Lawn and Turf Maintenance
will take care of jobs such as
fertilization and crabgrass
treatment.
The next regular council
meeting is set for Monday, May

SWOYERSVILLE An as-
sistant re chief for the Swoy-
ersville Volunteer Hose Co. 1
says that despite what borough
ofcials think, the re station is
operating and seeking donations
this year to get back on its feet.
Last week, borough ofcials
said they were unsure if the re
company was operating because
there had been no activity at the
station and efforts to contact
representatives were unsuccess-
ful.
A ier began circulating the
borough, soliciting donations
for the 2013 operating year, and
Councilman Chris Concert said
he was unaware if the station
was active after an alleged theft
of bingo money in 2008.
Assistant Fire Chief Frank
Hawk said Monday that after
Carol Gamble, 51, and Catherine
Drago, 82,
were charged
in 2008 with
taking more
than $700,000 in bingo pro-
ceeds, the department saw a de-
cline in membership and did not
have the manpower to continue
operating.
Things were going downhill,
and we didnt think it could be
saved, Hawk said. But we
didnt want that to happen. Now,
were trying to keep the re de-
partment alive and serve the
people of Swoyersville the best
that we can.
Hawk said in a letter to The
Times Leader that the re
company cannot comment on
the criminal charges pending
against Gamble and Drago, but
that the eight to 10 remaining
members hold faith that the le-
gal trial will showthat no money
was taken by any member.
Hawk said Gamble and Drago
remain as ofcers of the hose
company and the station has
technically never stopped oper-
ating.
The company did not solicit
for funding for the past two
years because the station was
not active enough because of a
manpower shortage, Hawk said.
In July 2012, Hose Co. 1s
re engine was put on loan to
the West Wyoming Station 285

Boys death still probed
More than six weeks after a 2-year-
old boy died inside a Warsaw Street
house, authorities are continuing the
investigation, Luzerne County District
Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Mon-
day.
The boy, whose name has not been
released, was found unresponsive in-
side 245 Warsaw St. on Feb. 22, and
rushed to Wilkes-Barre General Hos-
pital, where he was pronounced dead,
and an autopsy was performed.
Luzerne County Acting Coroner Wil-
liamLisman said the cause and manner
of the boys death remain pending until
the criminal investigation is nished.
Salavantis said investigators are con-
tinuing interviews to determine why
the boy died.
HAZLETON
Shooting victim named
City police on Monday released the
name of the man who was shot during
an alleged burglary on Hayes Street on

Police said Zachary Dangelo, 26, last
known address as Oak Street, Freeland,
was shot in the pelvic area at about
12:20 p.m. Dangelo was own to Geis-
inger Wyoming Valley Medical Center
in Plains Township.
Police said Dangelo was found inside
the residence when the homeowner re-
turned froma shopping trip. The home-
owner, whose name was not released,
shot Dangelo with a handgun, police
said.
Police said the investigation is con-
tinuing. No charges have been led as
of Monday.
STROUDSBURG
Double-ne zone may grow
The Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation, at the urging of the
state police, is in the initial phases of
a plan to extend the I-80 Safety Corri-
dor from Stroud Township another 11
miles to Interstate 380.
The plan needs approval from the
state before it can go into effect.
In the safety corridor, nes for speed-
ing are doubled. Only the ne is dou-
bled, not the associated costs with a
speeding ticket. Fines range from about
$40 to $100, depending on how fast a
driver is going when caught.
The current safety corridor, estab-
lished in 2002, runs from Stroud Town-
ships mile marker 304 to Delaware
Water Gap (Exit 310), a distance of six
miles. Under the state police proposal,
it would run an extra 11 miles to Exit
293 in Jackson Township.
PennDOT spokesman Sean Brown
said there is a four-step criteria the area
must meet before it can get safety-cor-
ridor designation. There is no timeline,
however, on how long it could take to
institute the corridor extension, Brown
said.

Promise to pay back taxes kept
A Hazle Township busi-
nessman who repeatedly
fought to keep his commer-
cial properties out of back-tax
auctions due to a pending re-
nancing has kept his prom-
ise to pay the real estate taxes
in full.
Luzerne Countys tax claim
ofce on Monday received a
$289,427 check for taxes dat-
ing back to 2009 on James
Laganas ve properties, with
the money to be divvied up
among the school district,
municipality and county.
Properties are supposed
to be auctioned if taxes have
gone unpaid for two years.
To get out of a sale, property
owners must pay taxes owed,
le for bankruptcy or con-
vince a judge to grant more
time.
Lagana and his company,
Lagana Enterprises, success-
fully urged a judge to post-
pone several sales scheduled
solely for the ve properties,
including an auction slated
for Monday.
He said the renancing
would allow him to satisfy
other liens in addition to the
back taxes, including debts to
the Internal Revenue Service,
Fidelity and Deposit Insur-
ance Co., the Greater Hazle-
ton Joint Sewer Authority
and the Hazleton Municipal
Authority. Repayment of
these debts would be unlikely
if the property went to the
highest bidder in a nal-stage
free-and-clear auction, where
liens and back taxes are for-
given, he argued.
If the judge ignored the re-
quest, Lagana said he would
be forced to le for bankrupt-
cy because the ve proper-
ties produced almost all his
income.
The commercial and retail
buildings on the Airport Belt-
way in Hazle Township have
a combined assessed value of
$4.3 million and include the
Beltway Commons and Lau-
rel Professional Center.
Lagana also paid $51,347
in back taxes Monday on two
other properties that were
planned for listing in an Au-
gust back-tax auction, accord-
ing to Northeast Revenue
Service LLC, which operates
the county tax claim ofce.
He still owes $36,057 in
taxes from 2010 through
2012 on his mansion in But-
ler Township, records show.
The countys next back-tax
auction is scheduled for April
25.
Northeast Revenue is hold-
ing this special rst-stage up-
set sale for properties with
defaulted payment plans and
dismissed bankruptcies.
Most of the property own-
ers entered into payment
plans to keep their properties
out of a sale last September
but then failed to make sub-
sequent payments after the
sale, according to Northeast
Revenue representatives.
The tax claim operator chose
to hold a special sale now
instead of waiting until the
next regular upset sale in the
fall.
Roughly 250 properties are
scheduled for the April 25
sale, though properties must
be removed if the owners pay
all taxes owed for 2010 before
the sale.
Bids at upset sales are set
high enough to cover all back
taxes and municipal util-
ity liens, which makes it less
popular than a free-and-clear
auction.
A list of the properties
scheduled for the April 25
sale may be viewed at www.
luzernecountytaxclaim.com

After allegations of theft in
2008, assistant chief sees
better future in Swoyersville.
A Massachusetts-based company
has purchased the former Mark II res-
taurant in Wilkes-Barre Township with
plans to lease the property to a Dunkin
Donuts or Baskin Robbins franchiser
or both, according to documents led
in the Luzerne County deeds ofce.
The Mark II restaurant, located on
state Route 309 near Blackman Street,
closed in 2008 due to a bankruptcy.
A Dunkin Donuts is located across
the street in a strip mall owned by Steve
Koroneos, Dickson City.
JW Ventures sold the 1.16-acre
Wilkes-Barre Township property to
Pittston Realty LLC for $575,000 on
March 22. Representatives of Pittston
Realty, which owns the Dunkin Donuts
property in Plymouth, could not be
reached for comment Monday.
Jack Williams Jr., who owns JW Ven-
tures with his daughter, Jennifer, said
the buyers plan to complete major reno-
vations to the former Mark II property,
though he said he was not aware of the
planned new occupants.
The Williamses had purchased the
property and three other former Mark
II Family Restaurants in 2010 with the
goal of restoring or demolishing them
so new businesses could open.
The Mark II restaurant in Dallas
Township also closed in 2008 after the
previous owners led for bankruptcy.
The restaurant on Kidder Street in Wil-
kes-Barre closed in 2006, and the one
on U.S. Route 11 in Edwardsville closed
in 2007.
Williams said he had to repair the
Wilkes-Barre Township property to

Police chases rekindle two-year-old assault case
WILKES-BARRE - A two-
year-old assault case rekin-
dled after Sugar Notch po-
lice arrested Andrew Dunn
after a car chase last month.
Dunn, 27, of Wilson Street,
Larksville, was arraigned
Monday on charges he as-
saulted his ex-girlfriend,
Angie Atkinson, inside her
Wilkes-Barre home on April
21, 2011.
The assault case filed by
city police on April 28, 2011,
stalled for two years when
Dunn could not be found to
sign for the criminal com-
plaint and notice to appear
for a pre-
l i mi n a r y
h e a r i n g .
City police
led two
counts of
simple as-
sault and
harassment
against Dunn with the court
papers being mailed to him
first-class by District Judge
Rick Cronauers ofce.
Dunns assault case was
renewed when Sugar Notch
police arrested him on
March 23 after a pursuit
through four municipalities
that involved a crash with a
police cruiser.
Sugar Notch police allege
Dunn was traveling in excess
of 85 mph in a 25-mph zone
on Main Street.
Dunn turned onto Inter-
state 81 and exited in Wil-
kes-Barre Township travel-
ing on Nicholson, Blackman,
Charles, Grove, Hickory,
Brown and Parrish streets
and Wilkes-Barre Boulevard
in Wilkes-Barre, according to
the criminal complaint.
Sugar Notch police said
Dunn sped through a fu-
neral homes parking lot and
crashed into a Wilkes-Barre
Township police cruiser
when he turned from Black-
man Street onto Brown
Street.
Dunn turned onto Hazle
Avenue and crashed into a
fence at West Liberty Street
in Hanover Township. Police
allege he was intoxicated,
and he was taken for a blood
test.
He was charged with driv-
ing under the inuence,
eeing or attempting to
elude police, resisting ar-
rest, reckless endangerment
and several trafc violations.
A preliminary hearing is
scheduled today before Dis-
trict Judge Joseph Halesey
in Hanover Township.
Dunn was released March
27 when he posted $10,000
bail.
City police allege that in
2011 Dunn followed Atkin-
son home from a bar and en-
tered her apartment, where
he punched her and repeat-
edly slammed her head
against a wall and mirror,
according to the criminal
complaint.
Dunn ran out of a back
door to escape capture, the
complaint says.
Dunn was arraigned by
Cronauer on Monday and re-
leased on $2,500 unsecured
bail. The preliminary hear-
ing on the assault charges is
set for April 16.

KAUFMAN, Texas Depu-
ties escorted some Kaufman
County employees into the
courthouse Monday, two days
after the district attorney and
his wife were found shot to
death in their home in an at-
tack that stirred fears that
other public employees could
be targeted by assassins.
Law-enforcement ofcers
were seen patrolling one side
of the courthouse, one hold-
ing a semi-automatic weapon,
while others walked around
inside.
Authorities have said little
about the investigation of the
deaths of Kaufman County
District Attorney Mike McLel-
land and his wife, whose bod-
ies were found Saturday.
The couples slayings came
less than two weeks after
Colorados prison chief was
shot to death at his front door,
apparently by an ex-convict,
and a couple of months after
Kaufman County Assistant
District Attorney Mark Hasse
was killed in a parking lot
near his courthouse ofce.
No arrests have been made in
Hasses Jan. 31 killing.
I dont want to walk around
in fear every day but on the
other hand, two months ago,
we wouldnt be having this
conversation, County Judge
Bruce Wood, the countys top
administrator, said Monday at
a news conference.
Law-enforcement agencies
throughout Texas were on
high alert.
McLelland, 63, was the 13th
prosecutor killed in the U.S.
since the National Association
of District Attorneys began
keeping count in the 1960s.
Kaufman County Sheriff
David Byrnes would not give
details Sunday of how the kill-
ings unfolded and said there
was nothing to indicate for
certain whether the DAs slay-
ing was connected to Hasses.
El Paso County, Colo.,
sheriffs spokesman Sgt. Joe
Roybal said investigators had
so far found no evidence con-
necting the Texas killings to
the Colorado case, but added:
Were examining all possibili-
ties.
Colorados corrections direc-
tor, Tom Clements, was killed
March 19 when he answered
the doorbell at his home out-
side Colorado Springs. Evan
Spencer Ebel, a white suprem-
acist and former Colorado
inmate suspected of shooting
Clements, died in a shootout
with Texas deputies two days
later about 100 miles from
Kaufman.
In an interview shortly after
the Colorado slaying, McLel-
land himself raised the possi-
bility that Hasse was gunned
down by a white supremacist
gang.
McLelland, elected in 2010,
said his ofce had prosecuted
several cases against such
gangs, particularly one known
as the Aryan Brotherhood. The
groups have a strong presence
around Kaufman County, a
mostly rural area dotted with
subdivisions, with a popula-
tion of about 104,000.

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA
N. Koreas lawmakers meet
After weeks of war-like rhetoric,
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
gathered legislators Monday for an
annual spring parliamentary ses-
sion taking place one day after top
party ofcials adopted a statement
declaring building nuclear weap-
ons and the economy the nations
top priorities.
The meeting of the Supreme
Peoples Assembly follows near-
daily threats from Pyongyang,
including vows of nuclear strikes
on South Korea and the U.S.
Pyongyang has reacted with an-
ger over routine U.S.-South Korean
military drills and a new round
of U.N. and U.S. sanctions that
followed its Feb. 12 underground
nuclear test, the countrys third.
Analysts see a full-scale North
Korean attack as unlikely and say
the threats are more likely efforts
to provoke softer policies toward
the North, to win diplomatic talks
with Washington and to solidify
the young North Korean leaders
military credentials at home.

Afghan teen
fatally stabs
U.S. soldier
KABUL, Afghanistan An
Afghan teenager fatally stabbed
an American soldier in the neck
as he played with children in
eastern Afghanistan, ofcials
said Monday, as the U.S. death
toll rose sharply last month
with an uptick in ghting due to
warmer weather.
Last weeks calculated attack
shows that international troops
still face myriad dangers even
though they are increasingly
taking a back seat in operations
with Afghan forces ahead of a
full withdrawal by the end of
2014.
Just one U.S. service member
was killed in February a ve-
year monthly low but the
American death toll climbed to
at least 14 last month.
Overall, the number of Ameri-
cans and other foreign forces
killed in Afghanistan has fallen
as their role shifts more toward
training and advising govern-
ment troops instead of ghting.
But a series of so-called insid-
er attacks on foreign troops by
Afghan forces of insurgents dis-
guised as them has threatened
to undermine the trust needed
to help President Hamid Kar-
zais government take the lead
in securing the country after
more than 11 years at war.
The attack that killed Sgt. Mi-
chael Cable, 26, of Philpot, Ky.,
on Wednesday occurred after
the soldiers had secured an area
for a meeting of U.S. and Afghan
ofcials in a province near the
volatile border with Pakistan.
But one of two senior U.S.
ofcials who conrmed that
Cable had been stabbed by a
young man said the assailant
was not believed to have been in
uniform so it was not being clas-
sied as an insider attack.
The ofcials, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because
the investigation is ongoing,
said the attacker was thought
to be about 16 years old. He
escaped so his age couldnt be
veried.
Cables brother Raymond
Johnston, a 42-year-old waiter
in Owensboro, Ky., said the
Army told the family the basics
of what happened.
Johnston said his brother,
who also did a tour of duty in
Iraq, was prepared before he
left for anything that happened
in Afghanistan.
Cable met individually with
Johnston and three other fam-
ily members before leaving for
Afghanistan and had similar
conversations with each that
the deployment was extremely
hazardous and that his family
and friends should continue to
enjoy life if he was killed.
He was able to communicate
to the family about if the worst
was supposed to happen, what
we were supposed to do, John-
ston said.
Cables body was scheduled
to return to Owensboro, Ky., on
Thursday. Visitation was sched-
uled for Friday with the funeral
Saturday.
The Afghan and American
dignitaries were attending the
swearing-in ceremony of Afghan
Local Police in Shinwar district
in Nangarhar province, senior
district ofcial Zalmai Khan
said. Afghan Local Police, or
ALP, recruits are drawn from
villages and backed by the U.S.
military.
The soldier was playing with
children outside when the at-
tacker came from behind and
stabbed him in the neck with
a large knife, Khan said. Other
guards nearby didnt immediate-
ly notice what had happened be-
cause there was no gunshot, and
the assailant was able to ee to
neighboring Pakistan, he added.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah
Mujahid identied the attacker
as a 16-year-oldlocal mannamed
Khalid. He said Khalid was act-
ing independently when he
killed the soldier but had joined
the Islamic militant movement
since eeing the scene.
Prosecutors to seek death in Colorado theater attack
CENTENNIAL, Colo.
For James Holmes, justice is
death, prosecutors said Mon-
day in announcing they will
seek his execution if he is con-
victed in the Colorado movie-
theater attack that killed 12
people.
The decision disclosed in
court just days after prosecu-
tors publicly rejected Holmes
offer to pleadguilty if they took
the death penalty off the table
elevated the already sensa-
tional case to a new level and
could cause it
to drag on for
years.
Its my de-
termi nati on
and my inten-
tion that in
this case, for
James Eagan
Holmes, jus-
tice is death, District Attorney
George Brauchler said, adding
that he had discussed the case
with 60 people who lost rela-
tives in the July 20 shooting
rampage by a gunman in a gas
mask and body armor during a
midnight showing of the latest
Batman movie.
There was no audible reac-
tion from the 25-year-old for-
mer neuroscience graduate
student, who sat with his back
to reporters, or from victims
families in the courtroom.
Holmes parents sat side by
side in the gallery, clutch-
ing hands with ngers inter-
twined.
The decision had been wide-
ly predicted by legal analysts.
Within minutes of its be-
coming ofcial, the trial was
pushed back from August to
next February and Judge Wil-
liamB. Sylvester removed him-
self from the case, saying that
now that the charges carry the
death penalty they will take
years to resolve and he does
not have the time to devote to
such a drawn-out matter.
I had a huge adrenaline
rush, said Bryan Beard,
whose best friend, Alex Sulli-
van, was killed in the attack. I
love the choice. I hope Imin
the room when he dies.
But the prospect of a longer
legal battle troubles others
such as Pierce OFarrill, who
was shot three times.
It could be 10 or 15 years
before hes executed. I would
be in my 40s and Im plan-
ning to have a family, and the
thought of having to look back
and reliving everything at that
point in my life, it would be dif-
cult, he said.
Holmes lawyers have indi-
cated in court papers that they
may instead pursue a defense
of not guilty by reason of in-
sanity. But that carries great
risk: Prosecutors could argue
that Holmes methodically
planned his attack.

insanity plea, which analysts
say would be risky.

TEHRAN, Iran This
should be the time of year that
nut shop owner Mohammad
Ahmadi counts his prots, af-
ter the recent Persian newyear
holiday when Iranians scarf up
huge amounts of their iconic
snack, pistachios. Instead, he
and others in the trade are
staring at piles of unsold nuts.
Iranians have rebelled
against a nut that is as linked
to their national identity as
apple pie is to Americas or
feta cheese to Greeces. AFace-
book-driven boycott of pista-
chios has taken off, protesting
prices that more than doubled
in recent months.
The number of customers
has dropped terribly, said
Ahmadi, looking out at busy
streets where few customers
turned into his shop in the Sal-
sabil neighborhood of down-
town Tehran.
The beloved pistachio has
become another casualty
of Irans sanctions-battered
economy. The embracing of
the boycott reects the public
dismay over ination now at
30 percent, ahead of the June
presidential election to pick a
successor for Mahmoud Ah-
madinejad.
Yet, the government, which
usually tries to contain Irani-
ans anger over the economy,
has heartily backed the pista-
chio boycott again for rea-
sons tied to the Western-led
sanctions over Irans nuclear
program. Pistachio exports
provide a small but important
pipeline for foreign revenues
at a time when sanctions are
squeezing Irans oil and gas
sales. Authorities say fewer
nuts consumed at home means
more available to sell abroad.
The pale green nuts are
Irans top non-oil export,
though admittedly they are
very distant second. Iran
earned at least $750 million
last year from exporting the
nut, with some estimates as
high as $1 billion. Thats a frac-
tion of the around $128 million
a day it earns from oil exports.
But oil revenues were down
some 45 percent last year be-
cause of sanctions on the in-
dustry, making pistachios an
attractively reliable earner.
Nowadays, any revenue
from exports is like a drop of
lifeblood for Iran, said Saeed
Leilaz, an economic and politi-
cal affairs analyst.
Iran is the worlds No. 2 pro-
ducer of pistachios after the
United States, and together
the two rivals overwhelmingly
dominate the world market in
the nut. The U.S. re-imposed
a ban on Iranian pistachio im-
ports in 2010, but it had little
effect on Irans sales since its
main customers are in Asia,
Europe and the Arab world. In
2012, Iran exported some 110-
140 million tons of pistachios,
the majority of its production,
and the industry employs hun-
dreds of thousands of people.
But at home, Iranians are
fuming over the cost of their
national snack.
Pistachio prices have soared
from about 260,000 rials ($8)
a kilo (2.2 pounds) last year
to more than 600,000 rials
($17). In some areas, a kilo
has reached 800,000 rials, or
about $25, according to press
reports.
The exact cause for the
rapid rise in prices remains
somewhat unclear. Iranian pis-
tachio growers do not need to
import major parts or machin-
ery, whose costs have skyrock-
eted with the sinking value
of the Iranian rial. The rial is
currently trading at more than
35,000 to $1 compared with
about 10,000 just two years
ago. Prices of all Iranian prod-
ucts have been dragged higher
by galloping ination.
Last month, the head of the
pistachio association, Mohsen
Jalalpour, said prices at home
have been affected by the ris-
ing price pistachios get on the
international market com-
pounded by the rials fall.

that tracks crime trends in the
region, said it considers Joa-
quin El Chapo Guzman even
more menacing than Capone be-
cause Guzman leads the deadly
Sinaloa cartel, which supplies
most of the narcotics sold in Chi-
cago and in many cities across
the United States.
Years ago, Mexico faced the
same problemof then-nascent
cartels expanding their power
and didnt nip the problem in
the bud, said Jack Killorin, head
of an anti-trafcking program in
Atlanta for the Ofce of National
Drug Control Policy. And see
where they are now.
Riley sounds a similar alarm:
People think, The borders
1,700 miles away. This isnt our
problem. Well, it is. These days,
we operate as if Chicago is on the
border.
Border states from Texas to
California have long grappled
with a cartel presence. But cases
involving cartel members have
now emerged in the suburbs of
Chicago and Atlanta, as well as
Columbus, Ohio, Louisville, Ky.,
and rural North Carolina. Sus-
pects have also surfaced in Indi-
ana, Michigan, Minnesota and
Pennsylvania.
Mexican drug cartels are tak-
ing over our neighborhoods,
Pennsylvania Attorney General
Kathleen Kane warned a leg-
islative committee in Febru-
ary. State Police Commissioner
Frank Noonan disputed her
claim, saying cartels are primar-
ily drug suppliers, not the ones
trafcking drugs on the ground.
For years, cartels were more
inclined to make deals in Mexico
with American trafckers, who
would then handle transporta-
tion to and distribution within
major cities, said Art Bilek, a
former organized crime investi-
gator who is now executive vice
president of the crime commis-
sion.
As their organizations grew
more sophisticated, the cartels
began scheming to keep more
prots for themselves. So lead-
ers sought to cut out middlemen
and assume more direct control,
pushing aside American trafck-
ers, he said.
Beginning two or three years
ago, authorities noticed that
cartels were putting deputies
on the ground here, Bilek said.
Chicago became such a massive
market it was critical that they
had rm control.
To help ght the syndicates,
Chicago recently opened a rst-
of-its-kind facility at a secret lo-
cation where 70 federal agents
work side by side with police
and prosecutors. Their primary
focus is the point of contact be-
tween suburban-based cartel
operatives and city street gangs
who act as retail salesmen. That
is when both sides are most vul-
nerable to detection, when they
are most likely to meet in the
open or use cellphones that can
be wiretapped.
Others are skeptical about
claims cartels are expanding
their presence, saying law-en-
forcement agencies are prone to
exaggerating threats to justify
bigger budgets.
David Shirk, of the University
of San Diegos Trans-Border In-
stitute, said there is a dearth of
reliable intelligence that cartels
are dispatching operatives from
Mexico on a large scale.
We know astonishingly little
about the structure and dynam-
ics of cartels north of the bor-
der, Shirk said. We need to be
very cautious about the assump-
tions we make.
Statistics from the DEA sug-
gest a heightened cartel pres-
ence in more U.S. cities. In 2008,
around 230 American communi-
ties reported some level of cartel
presence. That number climbed
to more than 1,200 in 2011, the
most recent year for which infor-
mation is available, though the
increase is partly due to better
reporting.
Federal agents and local
police say they have become
more adept at identifying cartel
members or operatives using
wiretapped conversations, infor-
mants or confessions. Hundreds
of court documents reviewed by
the AP appear to support those
statements.
This is the rst time weve
been seeing it cartels who
have their operatives actually
sent here, said Richard Pearson,
a lieutenant with the Louisville
Metropolitan Police Depart-
ment, which arrested four al-
leged operatives of the Zetas car-
tel in November in the suburb of
Okolona.
People who live on the tree-
lined street where authorities
seized more than 2,400 pounds
of marijuana and more than $1
million in cash were shocked to
learn their low-key neighbors
were accused of working for one
of Mexicos most violent drug
syndicates, Pearson said.
One of the best documented
cases is Jose Gonzalez-Zavala,
who was dispatched to the U.S.
by the La Familia cartel, accord-
ing to court lings.
In 2008, the former taxi driver
and father of ve moved into a
spacious home at 1416 Brook-
eld Drive in a middle-class
neighborhood of Joliet, south-
west of Chicago. From there,
court papers indicate, he over-
saw wholesale shipments of co-
caine in Illinois, Wisconsin and
Indiana.
Wiretap transcripts reveal
he called an unidentied cartel
boss in Mexico almost every
day, displaying the deference
any midlevel executive might
show to someone higher up the
corporate ladder. Once he stam-
mered as he explained that one
customer would not pay a debt
until after a trip.
No, snaps the boss. What
we need is for him to pay.
The same cartel assigned
Jorge Guadalupe Ayala-German
to guard a Chicago-area stash
house for $300 a week, plus a
promised $35,000 lump-sum
payment once he returned to
Mexico after a year or two, ac-
cording to court documents.
Ayala-German brought his
wife and child to help give the
house the appearance of an or-
dinary family residence. But he
was arrested before he could re-
turn home and pleaded guilty to
multiple trafcking charges. He
will be sentenced later this year.
Socorro Hernandez-Rodriguez
was convicted in 2011 of head-
ing a massive drug operation
in suburban Atlantas Gwinnett
County. The chief prosecutor
said he and his associates were
high-ranking gures in the La
Familia cartel an allegation
defense lawyers denied.
And at the end of February
outside Columbus, Ohio, author-
ities arrested 34-year-old Isaac
Eli Perez Neri, who allegedly
told investigators he was a debt
collector for the Sinaloa cartel.
An Atlanta attorney who has
represented reputed cartel mem-
bers says authorities sometimes
overstate the threat such men
pose.
Often, you have a kid whose
rst time leaving Mexico is
sleeping on a mattress at a stash
house playing Game Boy, eating
Burger King, just checking drugs
or money in and out, said Bruce
Harvey. Then hes arrested and
gets a gargantuan sentence. Its
sad.
Typically, cartel operatives are
not U.S. citizens and make no at-
tempt to acquire visas, choosing
instead to sneak across the bor-
der. They are so accustomed to
slipping back and forth between
the two countries that they regu-
larly return home for family wed-
dings and holidays, Riley said.
Because cartels accumulate
houses full of cash, they run
the constant risk associates will
skim off the top. That points to
the main reason cartels prefer
their own people: Trust is hard
to come by in their cutthroat
world. Theres also a fear factor.
Cartels can exert more control
on their operatives than on mid-
dlemen, often by threatening to
torture or kill loved ones back
home.
In Mexico, the cartels are
known for a staggering number
of killings more than 50,000,
according to one tally. Behead-
ings are sometimes a signature.
So far, cartels dont appear
to be directly responsible for
large numbers of slayings in the
United States, though the Texas
Department of Public Safety re-
ported 22 killings and ve kid-
nappings in Texas at the hands
of Mexican cartels from 2010
through mid- 2011.
Still, police in some cities wor-
ry that increased cartel activity
could fuel heightened violence.

SWOYERSVILLE Council-
man Joe Olejnick on Monday
addressed failure of the borough
to receive state gaming money
again this year.
He said Swoyersville last re-
ceived gaming money in 2009.
Olejnick said money would have
been directed to street mainte-
nance, police vehicles and other
borough needs.
He encouraged residents to
contact their state representative.
Council President Ron Alunni
said grant money received by the
borough historically had been
used to improve services.
In another matter, Ron Shadie,
representing Swoyersvilles Hose
Company No 1, said that in spite
of recent allegations, the com-
panys solicitation of funds from
area residents was appropriate.
In spite of the closure of its home
station, Shadie said the com-
panys engine 179, now in West
Wyoming, continues to respond
to re emergencies.
The hose company was affect-
ed by 2008 allegations of the theft
of $700,000 in bingo funds used
for operations. Two people were
charged in connection with an in-
vestigation.
A letter presented by Shadie in-
dicated that 46 calls to which that
engine had responded had been
dispatched to Swoyersville.
Councilwoman Deborah Layou
said council had sent a letter of
inquiry to Hose Co. No. 1 and did
not receive a response. We did
receive a list of re personnel,
Alunni said, but, some of them
had moved out of the area, like to
Florida.
Marty Mahon, re chief of
Hose Company No. 2, requested
a meeting with council members
and the re department for clari-
cation on the matter.
In another matter, Alunni re-
quested short letters from those
who had indicated a desire to
serve on the boroughs recreation
board. We want people willing
to serve in the long term, said
Alunni.
Alunni also defended the fee
charged to teams playing at Roo-
sevelt Field, citing general main-
tenance done at the eld by bor-
ough workers. We dont want to
put an additional burden on the
taxpayers, said Councilman Joe
Onzik, defending the fee.
Resident Tom Zdanciewicz
lauded the efforts of the police de-
partment in quickly and effective-
ly responding to a recent emer-
gency his daughter experienced.
Residents encouraged to write
to their state reps
regarding the passing-over.

Stephen E. Sokach
March 31, 2013
S
tephen E. Sokach, 71, of
West Pittston, rose into the
Kingdom of God with Jesus
on Easter Sunday, March 31st,
2013, surrounded by his loving
family.
Born in Exeter, he was
the son of the late John and
Anna (Klem) Sokach. He was
a 1959 graduate of Exeter
High School and Wilkes-Barre
Business College. He was em-
ployed for 52 years by Metro-
politan Life Insurance Co. as
a multi-award-winning sales
representative.
He spent his life serving
others at work, in his church
and his community. He held
multiple ofces over 40 years
of volunteer service with the
Exeter Lions Club and was
the Guiding Lion for the estab-
lishment of the West Pittston
Lions Club. He was a found-
ing member of the Wyoming
Area Booster Club, served as
President of Wyoming Area
School Board, served as an
Exeter Borough auxiliary po-
lice ofcer, vice-chair of Exeter
Borough Civil Defense, and
was auditor of West Pittston
Borough. An avid golfer, Steve
was also a member of Fox Hill
Country Club.
A man of great faith, Steve
served the parish community
of Corpus Christi, rst as a lec-
tor, then as a Eucharistic Min-
ister for over three decades.
Caring for others was central
in Steves life and he would
regularly deliver communion
to shut-ins.
A member of the Holy Name
Society, he chaired many dif-
ferent activities for the annual
Fall Bazaar at Immaculate
Conception Church. But more
than that, he instilled a great
faith in his children and pre-
cious grandchildren.
He lost his father at age 19,
and helped his mother raise his
sisters, when he met the Love
of his Life, Judith (Scripkunas)
Sokach. They married in 1964
and would have celebrated
their 49th wedding anniver-
sary on May 2. The love and
devotion they have for each
other serves as a model for
all couples who know them.
Together, they started with
nothing, but gave everything
to their two children, Stephen
John and Mary Elizabeth.
As patriach of the family,
Steve instilled a great respect
for tradition, a faith-based life
and seless love and devotion.
Not a day passed that he didnt
express his love to all those
close to him, especially his
wife, Judy.
His son, Stephen John So-
kach, married Jeriann (Kata-
ny) Sokach and gave him three
beautiful granddaughters, Car-
ly Elizabeth, Stephanie Ann,
and Alexis Ann.
His daughter, Mary Eliza-
beth Sokach, married Donnie
Tristan Minnick and gave him
three handsome grandsons,
Tristan Jude, Stephen Andrew
and Blaise Alexander.
Beloved Papa spent his
days as counselor, playmate,
taxi driver and biggest fan for
all of his six grandchildren.
Their lives have been enriched
beyond measure because of his
constant presence and dedica-
tion to their well-being and
success. His spirit will live on
forever and ever in the hearts
of his grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he
was preceded in death by his
sister, Joan, and his brother,
Jack.
He is survived by his de-
voted wife, Judy. Together for
48 years, they conquered the
world together. There was
nothing they couldnt accom-
plish. They loved to spend
Saturday nights, date night,
eating at at their favorite res-
taurants. But the rest of the
week was devoted to their chil-
dren and grandchildren. Sun-
day was always family day
and always started at church.
He was proudest when he was
surrounded by his whole fam-
ily.
His heart remains with Judy
forever.
He is also survived by his
son, Stephen John, wife Je-
riann and their children,
Carly, Stephanie and Alexis;
daughter, Dr. Mary Elizabeth,
husband Donnie and their
children, Tristan, Stephen and
Blaise; sister Mary Ann Smut-
ko; and numerous nieces and

WILKES-BARRE A
trial for an Edwardsville man
charged with the fatal shooting
in a drug sale has been contin-
ued to September.
George Lee Barnes, 23, for-
merly of Main Street, led
court papers Monday through
his attorneys, John Pike and
Paul Galante, requesting a de-
lay in the start of trial. Judge
Michael Vough granted the re-
quest and scheduled the trial
to begin on Sept. 23. The at-
torneys said Barnes was found
guilty recently of an unrelated
charge and believe prosecutors

WILKES-BARRE - A member
of one area agency will be laud-
ed for his efforts as an advocate
against rape in Luzerne and sur-
rounding counties.
Patrick Rushton, 61, of Moun-
tain Top, the outreach/educa-
tion manager for the Victims Re-
source Center in Wilkes-Barre
for the last 11 years, will receive
the Visionary Voice Award from
the Pennsylvania Coalition
Against Rape during its board of
directors meeting in Harrisburg
on Thursday.
Rushton arrived at the VRC
shortly after the retired captain
left a 20-year career with the
Wilkes-Barre Police Depart-
ment in December 2001, but
his introduction to the severity
of sexual and domestic violence
issues began years prior. In the
1990s, Rushton was a sergeant
when he was appointed to a Do-
mestic Violence Task Force.
We developed a domestic vi-
olence protocol for law enforce-
ment, Rushton said. Thats
what rst got me working with
the Victims Resource Center
and the Domestic Violence Ser-
vice Center.
Rushton worked often with
the VRC, an agency founded as
a rape crisis center in 1974 that
now aims to prevent sexual vio-
lence and other types of crime in
Luzerne, Wyoming and Carbon
counties. In fact, he helped de-
velop a form for police ofcers
that the agency still uses today.
After applying to VRC as a
counselor advocate, he was
instead hired as the outreach
manager and assumed the role
of education manager about six
years ago.
The agency coordinates vari-
ous rape awareness and preven-
tion programs, but it has also fo-
cused more recently on training
bystanders to identify risk fac-
tors of sexual abuse and act to
prevent them from the outside.
Most people will never see
a rape in progress. Our goal is
to get people to speak up when
they see behaviors that may
lead to sexual assault, Rush-
ton said. We have targeted
colleges and universities to try
to prevent violence on those
campuses through bystander
intervention programs.
While he is honored to re-
ceive the Visionary Voice
Award, he said the nomination
left him speechless.
I think that the people at
the Pennsylvania Coalition
Against Rape who nominated
me for this have recognized that
our agency not me, but our
agency has really become
one of the leaders in the state in
preventing sexual violence, he
said. Its more about all of the
work that everyone here at VRC
does.
Its estimated that one in four
girls and one in six boys under
age 18 will be victims of sexual
assault. One in four women
and one in 33 men may also be
victims, but many cases at any
age are likely to go unreported,
Rushton said.
More and more people are
recognizing rape as a serious is-
sue, and not just as a womens
issue. Its everyones issue,
Rushton said. Who are the
victims? Theyre not nameless
faces. Theyre our daughters,
our granddaughters, our wives,
girlfriends, mothers, and grand-
mothers. Thats why its impor-
tant to us as men.
Early intervention is key to
changing the culture, but long
term change can admittedly
take several generations. Rush-
ton said programs like those of-
fered by the VRC are helping to
lay some positive groundwork.
I think our work has impact,
he said.

had removed doors, smashed
light xtures and punched
holes in the walls. Copper wir-
ing also was stolen.
It cost me thousands of dol-
lars just to get power back into
the building because of the
damage they had done. They
destroyed everything hooked
up to the wiring, Williams
said.
JW Ventures sold the Kidder
Street property to PremiumRe-
alty Inc. for $75,000 in March
2012 for a newEnterprise Rent-

The Edwardsville restau-
rant was demolished, and Su-
noco Partners Marketing &
Terminals L.P. purchased the
1.11-acre parcel on Wyoming
Avenue for $365,000 in 2011 to
allow expansion of its adjoin-
ing gasoline holding facility.
Williams said the Edwards-
ville restaurant was inhabited
by squatters and gutted by
thieves.
They destroyed that restau-
rant. It was too expensive to
repair, he said.
He does not have specic
plans for the remaining former
restaurant on Dallas Memorial
Highway in Dallas Township.
He has fond memories of that
restaurant when the Forty Fort
Ice Cream Co. operated an ice
cream store there in his youth.
The building is older than
me. Im guessing well prob-
ably take that building down,
he said.
The Williamses had to pay
all delinquent property taxes
and assume nearly $1 million
in debt when they acquired
the four properties at a sher-
iffs sale, but Williams said the
venture has been rewarding be-
cause it put blighted properties
back into productive use.
His main frustration: delays
and red tape obtaining permits
needed by potential buyers.
Our government needs to
streamline the permitting pro-
cess. Other states have much
more efcient processes, he
said.

That truck, Hawk said, has re-

2012.
Its a long process to get the
truck repaired, Hawk said.
West Wyoming isnt dragging
their feet.
Hawk said the station is us-

the truck while the Swoyers-
ville Volunteer Hose Co. 1 also
is using state grant money to
get the station back up and
running.
Hawk called the West Wyo-
ming station Hose Co. 1s sis-
ter station and noted many
members of Hose Co. 1 belong
to the West Wyoming Station
285.
Donations the station re-
ceives this year through its
fundraiser will be put toward
operating the hose company,
Hawk said.
Weve got a good response
from our ward, Hawk said of
the section of Swoyersville the
hose company services.
A fundraiser run by the bor-
oughs two other re stations
touts them as responding to
100 percent of the boroughs
emergency calls, but that is not
true, Hawk said.
Last year, there were 110
calls total for the entire year
for Swoyersville itself, Hawk
said, noting that his station has
responded to 46 calls since July
2012 while being dispatched
from the West Wyoming sta-
tion. They are playing childish
games instead of attempting
to work together.
Calls placed to re chiefs of
Swoyersvilles other two re
stations were not returned
Monday.

COURT BRIEF
Weve been down this
road before, but its like
a roller coaster ride that
gets longer, and thus
more fun, every time you
board it. So lets recap
the history of the former
bank on Broad Street in
Hazleton that has become testament to
government waste.
Bear with me, this has more twists than
Hershey Parks Fahrenheit.
1995: Joe Zola wins the district justice
seat in Hazleton and Mike Marsicano is
elected mayor. Zola moves the DJ ofce
out of City Hall to a former federal build-
ing, where a company owned by his broth-
er gets a $7,208 contract to remodel the
place; Marsicano gives one of his buds the
contract to remodel the now-vacant space
in City Hall into new police headquarters.
Luzerne County decides to join Zola in the
old federal building and opens up a county
annex.
2005: The County cries mold spores!
and rushes out of the Hazleton Annex,
joined by Zola. They relocate to a build-
ing the county rents from Leonard Rossi,
a co-owner of properties with Zolas son.
Rossi bought the place for $150,000; the
county rents it for $78,504 yearly. Lacka-
wanna College moves into the old annex,
running classes ever since with zero health
problems from the alleged mold.
Interlude: A company co-owned by for-
mer county planning commission member
Frank DeGaetano who had contributed
to the campaign of then-County Commis-
sioner Greg Skrepenak and done business
with the county through his private com-
pany buys the old Broad Street bank
building in question for $330,000.
2007: County Commissioners plan to
rent that old bank as a new annex for $2.58
million over 10 years, but are stymied by
public outrage. Instead, they buy it for
$700,000,. And then leave it empty.
2010: Newcounty commissioners decide
they are paying Rossi too much for rent of
Zolas ofce and start looking around for a
better deal. Rossi abruptly realizes he can
afford to rent it for $16,000 less per year.
The old bank building remains as empty as
the heads of the guys who voted to buy it.
2011: In a deal that redenes Byz-
antine, (can we call it Luzerntine?),
The County agrees to give the old (and
still empty) bank to Hazleton in lieu of
$290,000 the county owes the city for the
Hazleton Broad Street Exchange. The city
plans to house police there. Funny story
Flashback: In the early 1990s,then-
Hazleton Mayor John Quigley concocted
a plan to renovate two department stores:
Form two corporations one for-prot,
one non-prot that work together to nd
grants and loans. Part of that money was a
$2 million loan from Luzerne County, and
a smaller loan from Hazleton.
When the Business exchange failed to at-
tract tenants, Luzerne County Community
College conveniently moved in to provide
rent to help pay off the county loan. When
the Exchange landed on the back-tax auc-
tion block, the county took the whole thing
over to avoid losing its investment. Thats
why the County owes Hazleton $290,000.
Present: After the County recently spent
$116,000 to raze a decrepit section of the
old bank, the 2011 proposal (Hazleton gets
old bank instead of $290,000 from county)
is ready to be nalized, with County Coun-
cil set to vote on it. Hazleton, meanwhile,
concedes it has no money and will not
make it a police station.
What to do with the old bank building?
Seal it and preserve it as a true monument
to government ineptitude and inuence
peddling. Slap a plaque on it explaining
this history, and name it after a former
state senator convicted of corruption who
exemplied the sort of practices that cre-
ated this debacle:

O
NE COULD almost hear
the old rubber-legged,
red-clawed robot from
TVs Lost in Space say it:
That does not compute.
Of course, when things didnt
make logical sense in the 1960s
sci- series, it had no real-world
consequences.
Thats not the case in the ap-
parent failure of Wilkes-Barre
City to effectively implement a
$1.2 million computer program
intended to streamline and dra-
matically improve police work.
As staff writer Terrie Morgan
Besecker reported in a page 1A
story in Sundays Times Leader,
the system had been billed as
a crime super weapon para-
dise when the city sought and
received grant money in 2009:
Desktops at the station and
laptops in the cruisers linked to
camera systems, 911 and crimi-
nal databases around the coun-
ty and the state; license plate
identication software helping
cameras spot cars wanted in an
investigation and relaying that
info to beat cops; live streaming
video from crime scenes.
This stuff could rival Bruce
Waynes Bat Cave gizmos; who
wouldnt want it? Alas, it didnt
live up to the hype in fact, by
accounts from ofcers using the
program, it falls far short.
No need to detail the failure
to integrate with city cameras,
911, or other local police depart-
ments (many of which opted
for a cheaper system they claim
works quite well). Tech rarely
works out of the box as prom-
ised. The big question is more
about common sense.
Sundays story noted the sys-
tem came pre-loaded with the
New York Criminal Code, not
the Keystone States Code. If
Wilkes-Barres ofcers were pa-
trolling in Poughkeespie, that
might be OK. But the Diamond
City is 67 miles south of the
Empire State border. Bingham-
ton isnt calling for back-up.
Did the city fail to mention it
needed Pennsylvania Codes in
the system when the contract
was signed? Did the city try to
get the vendor to x the prob-
lem before manually entering
the right states data?
There may be reasonable
explanations for such a asco,
though it seems unlikely. This
sounds like an oversight, either
deliberate by someone favoring
this system, or accidental be-
cause someone was distracted
by all the bells and whistles and
said oohh, shiny! when they
should have been saying We
need guarantees, please.
Frankly, when a police com-
puter system bought for $1.2
million by Wilkes-Barre shows
up with the New York Criminal
Code pre-installed, the robot
line that comes to mind is Dan-
ger! Danger Will Robinson

Playing blame game for
past hurts our future
How many times have each of us asked
ourselves, why was I born. I was born in
1938, I was not responsible for the evil of
Germany and the Holocaust, or for the
evil business of slavery. For most of my
adult life, the government placed a guilt
complex on every American.
All those nations receiving foreign
aid have attached their problems to the
United States like barnacles on a ship and
played the blame game. Even the rst
black President of the United States plays
the race card.
Our grandparents, parents, this gen-
eration, our children, grandchildren,are
going to suffer the same mentality of the
blame game. How can one live ones life to
the fullest, be civic minded, compassion-
ate, honest, be courageous, know differ-
ence between right and wrong, ght for
justice, when you are told everyday you
are responsible for past evils? America
will never heal until the blame game and
the spread of hatred is over.
Our political leaders will do anything
to get elected including blaming one
culture over another, and people are dumb
enough to allow it to happen.

Courts hold responsibility
for loss of true religion
W
e hear reports that the end of the
world is near because of hurricanes,
tornadoes, earthquakes, oods, res, food
production, and a poor economic climate.
Well, the guy upstairs is angry, but one
hopes he takes his anger out on the courts
and not on the good people of America.
It is the courts that approve attacks on
Christianity.
The courts do not want God, they want
many gods who sit in chambers wearing
black robes. How come they do not follow
our Constitution and its amendments?
John Adams claimed that the foundation
of the nation bonded the principles of civil
government with the principles of Chris-
tianity. The courts are trying to change
the premise upon which the nation was
founded. Remember Greece and Rome
had many gods that led to their demise.
One theory is that when the asteroid or
large meteorite hit the Earth, it pushed
Earth out of orbit and created the ice age
because it was farther from the sun. The
Earth wobbled back into its current orbit
and almost all of the ice has now melted.
Another theory is that there was a
tropical sea from the Gulf of Mexico to
the North Pole and when Yellowstone
blew, it covered most of the area. That is
why there is so much oil in those areas.
Recently, they are putting 15 more oil
wells in North Dakota. Russia is putting in
a claim for the North Pole.
One nal theory is that the Poconos
slide over a tropical sea and there is oil
below 25,000 feet. We really need to nd
oil in Luzerne County.

A
N UNUSUAL combi-
nation of forces includ-
ing Iran, North Korea,
Syria and the National
Rie Association succeeded
last week in stiing a proposed
United Nations treaty seek-
ing to monitor and furnish the
world more information about
the international arms trade.
Years of discussion of such
a treaty have been driven by
the many conicts around the
world made worse by the un-
controlled, unmonitored global
trade in weapons. The com-
merce amounts to more than
$70 billion annually.
The United States is the larg-
est arms exporter, at $66 billion
in 2011, a gure it makes public.
The treaty would have covered
conventional weapons from
AK-47s to tanks. Biological,
chemical and nuclear weapons
are dealt with in other treaties.
The price paid in human rights
terms is incalculable. It was
thought that requiring reports
on the trade could reduce some
of the worst aspects of it.
Broadbased support was
sought at the United Nations.
Other major arms exporters
such as China, France, Ger-
many, Russia and the United
Kingdom favor the accord. The
United States position, under
strong pressure from the NRA
and the U.S. arms industry,
was one of only qualied sup-
port, which was achieved by
the treatys sponsors by putting
loopholes in the agreement.
The NRA planned, if it were ap-
proved, to prevent ratication
by the U.S. Senate through the
use of campaign contributions
and other lobbying tools.
In any event, its pressure was
not necessary since consen-
sus at the United Nations was
blocked by the opposition of
Iran, North Korea and Syria, un-
usual partners for the NRA.

OTHER OPINION: ARMS TRADE
NRA aligns itself

Despite the protest, atten-
dance was near capacity, said
Noel Conrad, Irems circus
chairman.
It looks good for the whole
week, he said.
Next to Conrad was Billy
Martin, the Hanneford Circus
ringmaster and director who is
in his 36th year of hosting the
show.
Every performance is open-
ing night, he said. Its true
family fun. We think of it as our
family entertaining your fam-
ily.
The star-studded lineup of
performers listed in the pro-
gram had circus-like names
with superlatives attached, in-
cluding:
Terrifc Tigers of Brunon
Blaszak
Aerial Excellence An-
gela on the High Trapeze
Amazing Animal Actors
Castles Performing Bears
Wheel of Destiny The
Sensational Duo Fernandes

Three-Ring Bravado A
Juggling Jamboree
Boo Boo the Clown (Bill
Bookwalter) was walking
around the second oor of the
armory, stopping for pictures
with children and families
something he has been doing
since 1996 for the Irem Shrine.
Boo Boo wore a button that
read Im so broke, I cant even
pay attention.
I love doing this, he said. I
dont ever have to be serious. I
can be a kid at heart and enjoy
making them laugh.
Hundreds of volunteers
served food, sold programs,
ushered people to their seats
and did whatever necessary to
make the circus a success and,
most of all, fun.
Protesters such as Pomichter
dont see it that way.
Cruelty is not entertain-
ment, said a brochure being
passed out.
In 2010, an elephant named
Dumbo killed its handler at the
Hamid Circus at the armory.
Pomichters group distrib-
uted literature citing several in-
cidents of alleged circus-animal
abuse.
But for those inside, the
sights, smells and tastes of the
circus made for plenty of oohs
and ahhs on this Monday after-
noon.

He realizes there is far bet-
ter treatment (in state pris-
on), Fannick said.
Luciws mother and brother
spoke of him as a man who
would do anything for others
and who was always there for
them in times of need.
Hes so sorry for what hap-
pened, and he wishes he could
take it back, Luciws mother,
Cecelia, said. But he cant.
Luciw pleaded guilty to the
charge in February, as well as
to additional charges of DUI,
careless driving, reckless driv-
ing, disregarding traffc lanes
and passing when prohibited.
He was ordered to pay several
hundred dollars in fnes on
those charges.
Luciw spoke briey before
his sentencing:
I apologize to (Wolfes)
family. Im sorry for what
Ive done. I hope someday you
can fnd it in your hearts to
forgive me, he said.
Deputy District Attorney
Alexis Falvello said its clear
Luciw has had an alcohol
problem spanning 29 years
with seven DUI convictions.
That screams he has a
problem with alcohol addic-
tion, Falvello said.
He said it is clear Luciw did
not learn he should not get be-
hind the wheel in several DUI
convictions before the January
2012 deadly crash.
If Jan. 4 didnt change his
life, I dont know what will,
Falvello said, adding that Lu-
ciw was charged with his sev-
enth DUI three months after
the fatal crash.
Luciw faced a mandatory
minimum of 3 1/2 years in
prison, but Judge David Lupas
said he was sentencing Luciw
to a lengthier term because
of Luciws prior convictions
and inability to stop himself
from getting behind the wheel
while intoxicated.
(Luciw) clearly presents
a danger to the community,
Lupas said.

Protesters stand on the sidewalk waving their signs outside

Pomicter and Judy Popso, dressed as an elephant, were among
the protesters gathered.
been any oor votes to repeal
DOMA (the Defense of Mar-
riage Act) or to legalize same-
sex marriage. Both questions
have now been argued before
the Supreme Court and are be-
ing debated across our country.
After much deliberation and
after reviewing the legal, public-
policy and civil-rights questions
presented, I support marriage
equality for same-sex couples
and believe that DOMA should
be repealed, said Casey, who
is Roman Catholic. He told the
Morning Call of Allentown that
he will sign on as a cospon-
sor to repeal DOMA, the 1996
law that prevents the federal
government from recognizing
same-sex marriages, when the
Senate reintroduces such legis-
lation.
Caseys public switch comes
less than a week after the U.S.
Supreme Court heard oral ar-
guments in two landmark gay-
marriage cases, including one
involving DOMA. Hes also the
latest senator, Democrat and
Republican, to publicly change
stances recently.
Casey becomes the seventh
Senate Democrat in the past
week to embrace same-sex mar-
riage after previously opposing
it. Eight Senate Democrats now
continue to oppose marriage
equality.
Caseys statement included
a letter from a woman in the
greater Philadelphia region that
he cited as one that was par-
ticularly compelling. The letter
writer said she and her partner
were together for 18 years, at-
tend church every Sunday, have
twins that her partner gave birth
to and that she legally adopted.
My kids have two proud and
loving parents who are honest
(and) work hard. I want my kids
to know they are equal and our
family is equal. I just want my
family to be treated equally and
with respect by my state and
federal government, she said.
Casey said after reading this
and dozens of other letters, his
position has changed.
As a senator and as a citi-
zen, I can no longer in good
conscience take a position that
denies her and her family the
full measure of equality and
respect, Casey said. I under-
stand that many Americans of
good will have strong feelings
on both sides of this issue. I
believe elected public offcials
have an abiding obligation to
refrain from demonizing and di-
viding people for partisan or po-
litical gain. Rather, Democrats
and Republicans should come
together and fnd areas of agree-
ment to do whats best for the
country, including lesbian and
gay Americans.
Within hours of Caseys state-
ment, public fgures and or-
ganizations issued their own
statements reacting to Caseys
change of support.
In a prepared statement, Bish-
op of Scranton Joseph Bambera
Caseys position is contrary to
the teaching of the Catholic
Church.
Bambera called it unfortunate
and disappointing that Casey
set aside the Catholic belief
and teaching that the sacrament
of marriage, rooted in the natu-
ral law, is a faithful, exclusive,
lifelong, loving union of a man
and a woman open to the trans-
mission of human life. The dual
purpose of marriage: the unity
and love of a man and a woman,
and procreation has been rooted
in human history long before
any religion, nation or law was
established.
Bambera added that the
churchs defense of marriage
should not be interpreted as an
attack on individuals with same
sex attractions. Like all hu-
man beings, our lesbian or gay
sisters and brothers are beloved
children of God (and) must be
accepted with respect, compas-
sion and sensitivity. Every sign
of unjust discrimination in this
regard should be avoided, he
said, quoting church teaching.
Bambera said the Church as-
serts that the fundamental hu-
man rights of all persons must
be defended, and encourages
the elimination of any form of
injustice, oppression, or vio-
lence against all people, regard-
less of sexual orientation.
Offcials representing advoca-
cy groups for the Gay/Lesbian/
Bisexual/Transgender commu-
nity praised Caseys announce-
ment.
We are extremely proud of
Senator Casey today. He has
voiced his support for LGBT
family members, friends and
neighbors to be granted the
same rights that opposite-sex
marriages currently enjoy, said
John Dawe, executive director
of the NEPA Rainbow Alliance,
a regional LGBT community or-
ganization.
Senator Casey has given the
issue a lot of thought, and hes
realized howmuch it hurts com-
mitted same-sex couples to be
denied the protection, dignity,
and respect of marriage, Dawe
said.
Dawe, who is also a board
member of Equality PA, the
statewide LGBT political orga-
nization, noted that Equality
PA, along with Keystone Prog-
ress and Marriage Equality for
Pennsylvania ooded Caseys
offce with more than 10,000
calls and e-mails asking him to
come out in favor of marriage
equality.
Michael Morrill, executive
director of Keystone Progress, a
multi-issue progressive advoca-
cy organization based in Harris-
burg, said members are thrilled
that Casey had a change of
heart on the civil-rights issue
of our day. We know this was
a hard decision for him, but in
the end he made the courageous
decision to stand on the side of
justice.
Morrill called Caseys an-
nouncement a clear victory for
the tens of thousands of people
who called and wrote to Casey
over the past week.

The law increased behind-the-
wheel training requirements,
placed a limit on the number
of passengers a young driver
can transport and made not
wearing a seat belt a primary
offense for young drivers.
Corbett also signed into law
a ban on text-based commu-

went into effect in March 2012.
PennDOT crash data shows
that crashes involving drivers
using phones decreased from
1,152 in 2011 to 1,096 in 2012.
There were eight fatalities in
those crashes and 57 fatalities
in crashes involving distracted
drivers in 2012.
PennDOT has invested $50
million over the last fve years
for safety improvements at
about 4,000 locations. These
include low-cost safety mea-
sures such as center-line and
edge-line rumble strips, curve-
related treatments, sight-
distance and intersection im-
provements, and removing
frequently hit trees and other
fxed objects. PennDOT also
invests about $20 million annu-
ally in state and federal funds
for safety education and en-
forcement efforts statewide.
In March, PennDOT an-
nounced it would use part of its
federal funding to help police
crack down on aggressive driv-
ing behaviors such as speed-
ing, tailgating and running
red lights. A regional enforce-
ment wave targeting distracted
or drowsy drivers, as well as
speeding and work zone viola-
tions, began March 18 and will

Theres a lot to do right now,

Hunsingers annual salary is

In other business, council
voted to approve the swimming-
pool fees for the 2013 season as
recommended by the recreation
chairperson. Councilman Frank
Michaels said Swoyersville and
Luzerne residents shouldnt
pay the same fee as Forty Fort
residents, which is $100 for a
family membership and $70 for
individuals.
Council persons Dorothy
Craig and Joe Chacke said as
long as they had been on coun-
cil, the discounted rates have
been extended to residents of
Swoyersville and Luzerne.
Its considered a multi-
municipal pool, even though
we havent received any multi-
municipal pool grants, Chacke
said. Craig said the pool would
be eligible for multi-municipal
grants as long as other munici-
palities use it.
Our pool needs a lot of re-
pairs, she said. When mul-
tiple municipalities are using it,
were more likely to get grants.
Michaels then agreed with
Craig and Chacke.
If we get the grants then
I can see where it would be
worthwhile, Michaels said.
Borough Manager Barbara
Fairchild showed council pho-
tos of the damaged areas of
the pool. Fairchild said the
repair cost would run $4,300
to $4,800, according to an es-
timate from Dadurka Concrete
and Masonry of Forty Fort.
Council authorized Fairchild
to give the go-ahead to Dadurka
to make the repairs.
In another matter, Joe
Donowski asked council why
it took two months to report a
sexual assault that occurred on
Pettebone Street in January.
What took the mayor and
the police department so long
to bring this out? he asked.
After the meeting, Hoats
said a composite sketch was re-
leased last week of the suspect
because all other leads had been
exhausted at that point.

zerne County detectives and hit

Cards Ware resting after surgery
By NANCY ARMOUR
AP National Writer
Kevin Ware is already up and walking,
and hes got a nice souvenir to keep him
company until hes cleared to return to
Louisville.
Cardinals coach Rick Pitino brought the
Midwest Regional championship trophy
when he visited Ware, who remains hospi-
talized after surgery to repair a gruesome
fracture in his right leg.
He was real excited about (the tro-
phy), Pitino said after visiting Ware again
Monday morning. I said to him, You
want me to bring it back or stay with you?
He said, Its staying with me. I said, All
right, just make sure you dont lose it.
During a two-hour surgery Sunday
night, doctors reset Wares broken tibia
and inserted a rod into the bone. Because
the bone broke through the skin, Pitino
said doctors are monitoring Ware to make
sure no infection develops. If there are
no complications, he should be released
Tuesday.
The Cardinals plan to leave for the Final
Four in Atlanta on Wednesday night, and
Pitino said they expect to have Ware with
them. Ware is originally from New York
City, but he moved to the Atlanta area be-
fore high school.
He gets to go home, be with his family
and be with us on the bench, Pitino said.
Hes in very good spirits and anxious to

Not at all, according to Penguins

may not be one of the best teams in

a desperate team that has played
well with its playoff hopes on the

No-name Yanks fizzle in season debut against Boston
By RONALD BLUM
AP Sports Writer
NEW YORK By the time Brett
Gardner fouled out to Will Middle-
brooks and ended the game, most of the
seats at Yankee Stadium were empty.
On what began as a sunny 62-degree
afternoon, the vast majority of the sell-
out crowd of 49,514 left after New York
fell behind or when rain started to fall in
the top of the ninth inning.
For the rst time since their 1982
start was postponed ve days because
of a snowstorm, the Yankees lost a sea-
son opener at home. For the rst time
since 1961, the Yankees lost a season
opener at home by six or more runs.
It was ugly out there weather-wise.
That got the crowd out of it, Kevin
Youkilis said.
Ugly day. Ugly start.
These no-name Yankees hope its not
an ugly year.
Jon Lester and the Boston Red Sox
got off quickly in 2013 after their rst
last-place nish in two decades, giving
new manager John Farrell an 8-2 win
Monday.
Newcomer Shane Victorino led a re-
vamped Red Sox lineup with three RBIs
and Jackie Bradley Jr. walked three
times and scored twice in his big-league
debut. Bostons big day against CC Sa-
bathia came a year after it lost its rst
three games under Bobby Valentine and
skidded to a 69-93 nish.
It got kind of raw, in a sense, Yan-
kees manager Joe Girardi said.

I would consider Norfolk a
top team, Hynes said before
boarding the bus for Virginia
after Mondays practice. If you
look at where theyve come
from and how theyre playing
now, theyre a top team.
The Admirals are 8-3 in their
last 11 games and with 71 points
they are just two points behind
Hershey for the nal playoff spot
in the conference. They trail the
Penguins, who are in the sixth
spot, by ve points.
Theyre making a hard push,
Hynes said. Theyve jumped
three or four teams to get into
the playoff mix. In our opinion,
were playing one of the hottest
teams in the conference.
The same could be said of the
Penguins, who won two of the
last three by beating Bingham-
ton twice and taking Providence
to a shootout.
But against Norfolk, the Pen-
guins have struggled. They are
2-4-1 against the Admirals and
have dropped the last three.
Tonights meeting is the
eighth and nal game of the sea-
son series against Norfolk, and
the Penguins enter the matchup
with condence generated from
Saturdays 3-2 shootout win
over Binghamton.
The reason weve been able
to get points out of the games
is weve had contributions
throughout the lineup, along
with the identity that we play
with, Hynes said. When we
play that way, the results will
come. If we play with this type
of commitment, then were go-
ing to have a good chance to
beat any team.
Notes
D Robert Bortuzzo was called
up to Pittsburgh on Monday,
but Wilkes-Barre/Scranton still
has plenty of blueline depth
with Cody Wild and youngsters
Clark Seymour and the recently
recalled Reid McNeill. Hynes said
Seymour and McNeill wont play
tonight, but they could suit up
over the weekend with a three-in-
three on the schedule.
Hynes said C Phil Dupuis, who
hasnt played since Jan. 12, is
done for the season due to an up-
per body injury. Dupuis, who was
signed as a free agent over the
summer, nishes with two goals
and 11 points in 34 games.
Its unfortunate, Hynes said.
Hes a good veteran, older player
that we wouldve certainly liked in
the lineup here. Its disappointing
for Phil, but as long as he takes
care of himself he should be right
back at it a year from now.
G Jeff Zatkoff has given up
seven goals in his last four starts
and earned the win in the last
two contests against Binghamton.
Hynes said Zatkoffs call-up to
Pittsburgh late last week further
bolstered his play.
Although he didnt play while in
Pittsburgh, he earned that call-up,
which was his rst, Hynes said.
Just to get a taste of what its
like at that level in Pittsburgh, it
was motivating for him.
blow the streak.
Could this be the season it
ends?
Redeemers two-time all-
state setter is no longer around
because Rob Wingert gradu-
ated after last season.
So did Mike Vamos, T.J.
Doyle and Dylan Myslowski,
all starters with star quality.
And the four new faces who
replaced that veteran experi-
ence in Redeemers lineup
seem to leave the Royals look-
ing a lot more vulnerable at the
start of this season.
Absolutely, Redeemer
coach Jack Kablick agreed, es-
pecially early on. We lost four
seniors, including the two-time
all-stater Rob Wingert who was
the heart of our team. Basical-
ly, his leadership is one of the
most difcult things weve had
to replace.
This year, we have four
sophomores with no varsity ex-
perience.
But that doesnt mean Re-
deemers regular-season dynas-
ty is doomed.
This is a much younger
team than weve had, said
Myslowski, Dylans brother.
But I think theres a lot more
potential to grow as a team
than there was last year.
Myslowski, a senior, grewup
not knowing what its like to
lose in WVC play as a member
of Redeemers perennial star-
quality team. So did Prociak,
who plans to be in the center
of another season of success at
the net.
Its always a great feat to
keep a streak going this long,
Prociak said. With coach
Kablick, you cant be too sur-
prised. We have young players
coming up through the system
every year. Theyre getting
more experience every game.
Every day were improving
more and more. I think were
very capable. We should have a
successful year.
But will it be a fth straight
year without a blemish on
Redeemers regular-season re-
cord?
Even the highly-successful
veteran Kablick cant tell right
now.
It takes really intelligent
athletes, number one, Kablick
said of the amazing run of his
teams. It takes young men
who buy into the program.
Kablick believes he has that
commitment and those smarts
on this years team.
Its the concentration level
of his current players that con-
cerns him.
Sometimes we lose focus as
a team, Kablick said. Some
games, we look like were
world-beaters. Other times, we
look like we can lose to any-
body at any time.
Lose?
Maybe that thought alone
will be enough to spark anoth-
er unbeaten regular season at
Holy Redeemer.
Its always in the back of
your mind, Prociak said. You
dont want to be the team that
ends the streak.
Athlete of the Week
Tyler Burger
School: Northwest
Grade: Sophomore
Sport: Track and Field
Events: Hurdles, long jump
All in the Family: Tyler, 17, is the son of Tracie and
Bill Brown of Shickshinny. He has a brother named
Brandon Burger and two sisters, Jess and Paulette
Brown.
Stats: Burger, who already owns most of the
Northwest jumping records, won three of his
individual events during Northwests season
opening victory over Wyoming Area, capturing the
110-meter hurdles, the 300-meter hurdles and the
long jump.
Up and over: Burger, a state qualier in the
hurdles last year who was disqualied in his PIAA
race for an early start, found a quick way to put
that disappointment in the past. He opened his
sophomore season by hurdling past the compe-
tition and winning the 110-meter event in 15.5
seconds, then captured the 300 hurdles in 46.1
seconds. Burger topped his big opening day with a
winning distance of 20-5 1/4 feet in the long jump.
Coachs corner: Hes an incredibly talented,
natural athlete, said Northwest assistant and
jumping coach Roy Phillips. Theres intelligence
associated with athleticism and he has that. Its
interesting to coach someone like that, because
they get it. Theres not a lot of coaching involved
with somebody like that. The basketball coaches
would love to have him, the football coaches
would love to have him. Our pits terrible, and with
the weather, we have not been able to jump. With
no practice, his rst jump of the season was 20
feet, 5 1/4 inches in cold weather! The skys the
limit.
Did you know? Tyler enjoys relaxing after school
by riding ATVs and playing some basketball.
From his angle: It means a lot, Burger said of
his fast start to the track season. Over the sum-
mer, Ive been doing a lot of practice so I could go
to states this year and do a lot better than I have
in the past. I didnt run a single hurdle or jump
over the winter. Im just concentrating on breaking
new records.
Week in review: Burgers teammate at North-
west, Anthony Politz, also had a strong season
opener. He captured the triple jump, the 100-yard
dash and was a member of the 400 relay team
that helped the Rangers defeat Wyoming Area.
Tunkhannocks Jack Tidball also went the
distance in track and elds early going, going all
the way to victory in the 1600 and 3200 running
events and teaming up on the winning 3200 relay
team in the Tigers season opener. Wyoming
Seminary senior tennis standout Henry Cornell
may have opened the season at No. 2 singles, but
he didnt stay in that spot very long. After a con-
vincing 6-2, 6-0 win at No. 2 against Dallas, Cor-
nell moved up to the teams top slot and sparkled
during a 6-1, 6-0 victory against Wyoming Valley
West. Another Sem standout also shined on the
lacrosse eld, where Amanda Schwartz produced
a ve-goal effort in a victory over Lake-Lehman.
Moving indoors, Wyoming Valley West setter
John Butchko had a spectacular opening week.
He served up 15 points and added 13 assists as
the Spartans swept Crestwood in a boys volleyball
match. Butchko followed that up by setting his
teammates up with 33 assists during a tough loss
to Hazleton Area.

Coachs Outlook: Del Val is ex-

Key Players Lost: Aaron Weir,

Coachs Outlook: My whole team

2012 Record: 5-7

Coachs Outlook: I think were
gonna be a good team. We had two
scrimmages and fared decent in
our rst scrimmage and our second
scrimmage was a huge improve-
ment and we swept Pottsville in our
rst game pretty handily.
HOLY REDEEMER
Coach: Jack Kablick
2012 Record: 12-0
Key Players Lost: Rob Wingert,
T.J. Doyle, Dylan Myslowski, Mike
Vamos
Coachs Outlook: Its gonna
depend, its probably the worst
serving team Ive had. Its not a
good serving team as a whole, they
show signs but basically no. Our
back row is maturing rather quickly,
which is a good sign because if you
dont have a great serving team
you better have a good passing
team.
LAKE-LEHMAN
Coach: Corey Brin
2012 Record: 8-4
Key Players Lost: Brent Oliver,
Kyle Fine
Coachs Outlook: We can make a
playoff push. The varsity team this
year is a good group of seniors who
have all played together for four
years. This is the rst year that the
seniors have all been together their
whole time playing and I think they
can carry us far.
NANTICOKE
Coach: Debbie Krupinski
2012 Record: 2-10
Key Player Lost: Brian Bevan
Coachs Outlook: Our long term

the pace. When our guys get up top
speed its a key issue.
PETE G. WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER

The Times Leader staff
RailRiders
set roster
The Times Leader staff
With a new era for the fran-
chise set to begin this week in
Moosic, the Scranton/Wilkes-
Barre RailRiders announced
their roster for the 2013 season
on Monday. Nearly half of the
25-man group has spent at least
some time in the Major Leagues.
The RailRiders rotation fea-
tures a mix of big-league expe-
rience and up-and-coming pros-
pect youth.
Brett Marshall, the sixth-
ranked prospect in the Yankees
system according to Baseball
America, will be a new face to
the Triple-A level. Dellin Be-
tances has already made his de-
but for New York and should be
a frontline starter for SWB.
Vidal Nuno opened eyes with
a strong spring. The lefty re-
ceived the 2013 James P. Daw-
son Award, given annually to
the outstanding Yankees rookie
in spring training.
Other pitchers that could
factor into the rotation include
Chris Bootcheck, Jim Miller and
Ryan Pope.
Mark Montgomery appeared
on many of the games top pros-
pects lists with an impressive
2012 campaign. Now he will be
called upon to be a key compo-
nent in the RailRiders bullpen.
An 11th-round pick in 2011, he
struck out 99 batters in just 64.1
innings of work last season.
Sam Demel, Juan Cedeno,
Preston Claiborne, and Josh
Spence will join Montgomery in
the bullpen.
The staff will be handled by
catchers Austin Romine and
Bobby Wilson. Romine has
been on numerous prospect lists
since his professional debut and
is rated as the Best Defensive
Catcher in the Yankees system
by Baseball America. Wilson
played 75 games with the Los
Angeles Angels last season.
IL All-Star Dan Johnson head-
lines the ineld after coming
over from Charlotte. The 2010
IL MVP hit 28 home runs with
the Knights last season and
slammed three home runs as a
September call-up with the Chi-
cago White Sox. Johnson has
played in 413 big-league games,
hitting 56 home runs.
The RailRiders ineld will
be comprised of Johnson, David
Adams, Corban Joseph, Addison
Maruszak, Luke Murton and Gil
Velazquez.
Melky Mesa, whose play in
Moosic last year earned him a
call-up to New York, will lead
the SWB outeld. Mesa hit 23
home runs and drove in 67 runs
between Double-A Trenton and
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2012.
Mesa and Thomas Neal will
be joined in the outeld by Zoilo
Almonte and Cody Johnson.
The RailRiders 2013 season
gets underway with the grand
opening of a reconstructed PNC
Field on Thursday when the de-
fending IL champion Pawtucket
Red Sox come to town for a re-
match of their 2012 playoff se-
ries.
get out of the hospital and get
back with the guys.
Wares right leg snapped in
the rst half of Sundays Mid-
west Regional nal when he
landed awkwardly after trying
to contest a 3-point shot. The
horric injury devastated his
teammates, and several fell to
the court crying. Chane Be-
hanan, Wares best friend on the
team, had to be helped to his
feet.
But before Ware was wheeled
off the court on a stretcher, he
repeatedly urged the Cardinals
to just go win the game. The
Cardinals did, beating Duke
85-63 to reach their second
straight Final Four, and they
said afterward there was no way
they could have let Ware down.
Right before the surgery,
when he was able to watch the
players at the press conference,
the nurses and doctors told me
that was the rst time he broke
down and cried, when the play-
ers were talking about him,
Pitino said.
Pitino and his son, Richard,
who recruited Ware while he
was on his fathers staff, were
at the hospital when the guard
got out of surgery and went
back Monday morning. Wares
girlfriend stayed with him over-
night, and his mother and her
husband arrived Monday.
She just needed to see him
this morning, Pitino said. She
was crying all night. Once she
gave him a hug this morning,
she was ne. Everything is
good right now.
While some have speculated
that Ware could have had a pre-
vious stress fracture that left
him predisposed to such an in-
jury, Pitino discounted that.

BILL ARSENAULT
Adam Davis has found a
home pitching for the Univer-
sity of Delaware baseball team.
Davis (Hazelton Area) is a
6-foot, 175-pound senior right-
hander who spent a year at St.
Johns and posted a 6-1 record
for Lackawanna College last
season.
This season, hes 3-3 with a
4.69 earned run average for the
Blue Hens, who are 18-8 overall
and 6-3 in the Colonial Athletic
Association. Hes pitched in sev-
en games with six starts and has
worked 40.1 innings, giving up
52 hits and 22 runs, 21 earned.
Hes walked seven and struck
out 36.
Adam has been an outstand-
ing addition, coach James
Sherman said. Hes our num-
ber two starter on the staff. He
is a tremendous competitor and
I really like how he goes at hit-
ters.
The coach calls Davis cocky,
but in a good sort of way.
I really like that in him,
Sherman said. He came in
well-prepared with his time at
Lackawanna. Its really enjoy-
able coaching him.
The Blue Hens have a big
CAA home series against
George Mason starting Friday
in Newark, Del.
CENTURY MARK FOR
FRITZGES: Senior Eric Frit-
zges (Dallas) recently became
the third player in Elizabeth-
town mens tennis history to
record 100 victories. He scored
a 6-2, 4-6, 10-3 victory at No. 2
singles to help the Blue Jays de-
feat Alvernia 8-1.
That win gave him a 48-30
career record in singles and that
coupled with his 52-29 record in
doubles put him at the century
mark.
Its just another milestone
for Eric in what has become a
remarkable career, coach Matt
Helsel said. I dont like to count
wins or accolades until the sea-
son is over but Erics journey
has been so special that its hard
to not pause and appreciate it
from time-to-time.
The coach lauded Fritzges
commitment to the team and
the sport.
To be in the lineup that many
times, much less win that many
times, is something that is rare
and commendable, Helsel said.
Eric is just the third player in
67 years of mens tennis to do it
(get 100 victories).
Helsel has no goals for Frit-
zges at the end of the season.
My goal is to simply appre-
ciate every match and practice
I have left to enjoy with Eric,
he said. Im not ready to start
thinking about not having him
around next season.
NOYALIS A BIG HIT: Soph-
omore Marc Noyalis is hitting
.363 for the Widener baseball
team.
Noyalis (Dallas) has 24 hits
in 68 at-bats with four doubles,
a triple, 14 runs scored and 13
RBI. Hes also pitched in six
games in relief and is 1-1 with a
1.17 earned run average. In 7.2
innings, hes given up ve hits,
one earned run with eight walks
and 12 strikeouts.
And hes been strong at rst
base with just four errors in 183
chances (.978).
Marc has developed excep-
tionally well since last year,
coach Mike LaRosa said. Be-
sides helping us at rst and
pitching, he has portrayed very
good leadership qualies de-
spite being a sophomore.
The coach said that Noyalis
is still learning each day how to
play the game the right way.
But hes come a long way and
is beginning to understand what
it takes from a mental stand-
point to compete at this level,
LaRosa said.
Sophomore Josh Everett
(Lake-Lehman) is also on the
squad. Hes played in three
games and is hitting .500 (2-for-
4) with an RBI and a run scored.
Josh is a great kid, a very
hard worker and a seless team-
mate, LaRosa said. He just
hasnt been able to break into
the lineup.
GOOD START FOR KRAM-
ER: Ursinus senior Brianna
Kramer of Drums (MMI Prep)
nished second in the 800 me-
ter run (2:29.67) and helped
the 4x400 nish rst in the rst
meet of the outdoor season
the Ursinus Invitational in Col-
legeville.
Last weekend, she nished
20th out of 34 in the 400 meter
dash (1:03.00) and 26th out of
64 in the 800 (2:30.07) at the
Danny Curran Invitational at
Widener.
Brianna has developed into
a tremendous leader on this
team, coach Chris Bayless said.
She has become a vocal leader
as well as a leader in her ac-
tions.
Kramer and the 4x400 are na-
tionally ranked and the favorite
to capture the league title.
Bri can easily run in the 57
range for the 400 and 2:17 for
the 800, Bayless said. Here
work ethic and determination
have really shined this year. I
am so proud of her because she
works hard every day and the
younger members on the team
see that.
The Bears compete in the
Muhlenberg Invitational Satur-
day.
KEARNEY GETS HIS
CHANCE: Junior Mike Ke-
arney is 2-0 pitching for the
Delaware Valley baseball team,
but coach Bob Altieri is more
impressed with the way hes hit-
ting the ball.
Kearney (Coughlin) is hitting
.212 (7-for-33) with a double, a
run scored and four RBI.
Mike always wanted to
swing the bat and we gave him
a chance, the coach said. He
hits the ball hard and has been
a pleasant surprise.
The right-hander is 2-0 on
the mound in two starts. Hes
worked 12 innings and has a
2.25 earned run average, giv-
ing up nine hits, three runs, all
earned, with four walks and sev-
en strikeouts. In his latest start,
he worked six innings and gave
up ve hits with two walks and
three strikeouts in a 3-0 victory
over Bethany.
Mike has done well pitching-
wise, Altieri said. Hes got to
work on an out pitch, but hes
done everything weve asked of
him and more. Hes more con-
dent on the mound. He knows
what is expected of himand hes
using that and his condence to
get the job done.
THE HAZLETON CON-
NECTION: Moravian base-
ball coach Phil Engelhardt and
Hazleton Area coach Gino Cara
have been friends for a long
time so its only natural that a
number of Caras former players
have moved on to Moravian.
This season, freshman Antho-
ny Zaloga and junior Thomas
Mariano are two of the top
pitchers on the squad. Also on
the roster is Ginos son Carl and
junior Joel McDermott. Fresh-
man Shane Casey (Crestwood)
is also on the team. Because of
injuries, McDermott is serving
as team manager.
Zaloga is 3-2 with a 3.24
earned run average. Hes worked
33.1 innings and has given up 23
hits and 14 runs, 12 earned, with
seven walks and 19 strikeouts.
He lost a tough game to No.
8-ranked Kean but defeated No.
10 Adrian and has beaten league
foes Catholic and Juniata.
Anthony throws really well
and has shown that he can beat
the best teams in the country,
Engelhardt said. His future is
very bright.
Mariano is 1-3 with a 3.12
earned run average. Hes worked
24 innings and given up 37 hits
and 15 runs, 11 earned, and has
walked ve with 14 strikeouts.
Thomas has been hit a little
more than last year but hes still
a top pitcher for us, Engelhardt
said. Hes working on changing
a couple of things and he had a
good three innings in relief last
weekend.
Of the other three, Cara is the
only one who has seen action
to date. Hes played in seven
games.
Carl is currently our backup
second baseman, but he is com-
peting for more innings, Engel-
hardt said. He has a very good
future for us.
DUO HELPING ROYALS:
Sophomore Josh Bayzick (Ha-
zleton Area) and fth-year se-
nior Corey Gorman (Coughlin)
are key pitchers for the Scranton
baseball team.
Bayzick, a right-hander, is 3-0
with a 2.45 earned run average.
He also has two saves. In 11 in-
nings, hes given up eight hits
and three earned runs with two
walks and seven strikeouts.
Josh constantly pounds the
strike zone, coach Mike Barto-
letti said. He has gotten stron-
ger over the last year and works
very hard.
Gorman, a lefty, has made
ve starts and is 2-2 with a 4.05
earned run average. Hes worked
26.2 innings and has given up 30
hits and 18 runs, 12 earned. Hes
walked 12 and leads the team
with 36 strikeouts.
Corey has been steady so far
and has had better control this
season, Bartoletti said. He is a
conference starter and we need
him to have a big year for us to
content for a title.
Freshman Dominick Gulius
(Coughlin) has played in six
games for the Royals. Hes hit-
ting .333 (4-for-12).
Dominick has really im-
proved on defense and his of-
fense is getting better, Barto-
letti said.
The Royals are 12-7 overall
and 3-2 in the Landmark Confer-
ence.

uconn routs
Kentucky
to advance
By DOUG FEINBERG
AP Basketball Writer
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.
Connecticut is headed back to a
familiar place the Final Four.
Breanna Stewart scored 21
points and Kaleena Mosqueda-
Lewis added 17 to help top-seed
UConn rout Kentucky 83-53 on
Monday night and advance to
a record sixth-straight national
seminal.
The Huskies will face either
Notre Dame or Duke in the na-
tional seminals on Sunday in
NewOrleans. The Irish and Blue
Devils play Tuesday night. UCo-
nn (33-4) broke a tie with Stan-
ford (2008-12), LSU (2004-08)
and itself (2000-04) by reaching
the Final Four again.
It was the second straight sea-
son that UConn beat Kentucky
in the regional nals. The Hus-
kies topped the Wildcats by 15
last year 105 miles to the north
of Bridgeport in Kingston, R.I.
This game wasnt as close.
Kentucky stayed close for the
rst 10 minutes with their 40
minutes of dread defense. Then
UConn turned up its own defen-
sive intensity.
The Huskies trailed 23-22
with just 9 minutes left in the
rst half. Thats when Stewart
honored as the outstanding
player of the Bridgeport Region-
al and UConns no-name
defense took over allowing three
points the rest of the half. Ken-
tucky missed 13 of its nal 14
shots in the half with the only
make coming when Jelleah Sid-
ney banked in a 3-pointer from
the wing.
While UConn was playing
lockdown defense, Stewart was
dominating on the offensive
end. The 6-foot-4 star, who was
the national high school player
of the year last season, scored
nine points and had a vicious
two-handed block during that
closing run.
After Sidneys 3-pointer, Stew-
art calmly converted a three-
point play on the other end.
UConn led 48-26 at the half.
Kentucky couldnt get within
20 in the second half.
WASHINGTON Bryce
Harper homered in his rst two
at-bats, Stephen Strasburg re-
tired 19 batters in a row at one
stretch, and the defending NL
East champion Washington Na-
tionals opened the season with a
2-0 victory over the Miami Mar-
lins on Monday.
For Strasburg, this marked
the start of what should be his
rst full season in the majors,
with zero pitch or inning limits.
The All-Star ace was dominant
against a trade-depleted Marlins
lineup that features Giancarlo
Stanton and little else. The
right-hander went seven in-
nings, matching his career high,
and allowed three hits.
Reigning NL Rookie of the
Year Harper, a 20-year-old out-
elder, hit solo shots over the
out-of-town scoreboard in right-
center eld off Ricky Nolasco in
the rst and fourth innings.
Newcloser Rafael Soriano got
the save.
Dodgers 4, Giants 0
LOS ANGELES Clayton
Kershaw launched his rst ca-
reer home run to break a score-
less tie in the eighth inning, then
nished off a four-hitter that led
the Los Angeles Dodgers past
the San Francisco Giants.
Kershaw became the rst
pitcher to throw a shutout and
hit a home run in an opener
since Bob Lemon for Cleveland
in 1953, STATS said.
Mets 11, Padres 2
NEW YORK Jonathon
Niese stepped nicely into his
new role as No. 1 starter for
the Mets, and Collin Cowgill
capped a successful New York
debut with a grand slam in a
rout of the San Diego Padres.
Handed the opening day as-
signment in place of injured Jo-
han Santana, Niese enjoyed a big
afternoon with both his arm and
bat. He breezed into the seventh
inning against a Padres lineup
missing slugger Chase Headley
(broken thumb) and catcher
Yasmani Grandal, suspended for
the rst 50 games after testing
positive for testosterone.
Marlon Byrd had a pair of RBI
singles and fellow Mets new-
comer John Buck was in the
middle of three rallies as New
York improved baseballs best
opening day record to 34-18
despite dropping its rst eight
openers.
Cubs 3, Pirates 1
PITTSBURGH Jeff Sa-
mardzija struck out nine in eight
nearly awless innings and the
Chicago Cubs held on for a vic-
tory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The right-hander allowed just
two hits and walked one as the
Chicago won on opening day for

New Yorks batting order
was lled by Gardner, Robin-
son Cano, Youkilis, Ichiro Su-
zuki and a bunch of no-names
and castoffs: Eduardo Nunez,
Vernon Wells, Jayson Nix, Lyle
Overbay and Francisco Cervelli.
A two-run single in the fourth
by Cervelli, the No. 9 hitter,
was the only production for an
offense more Murmurers Row
than Murderers Row without
Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Cur-
tis Granderson and Alex Rodri-
guez.
The missing four stars have
combined for 32 All-Star selec-
tions, and the Yankees were
weakened when Nick Swisher,
Russell Martin, Raul Ibanez and
Eric Chavez departed as free
agents. Wells and Ben Francisco
began spring training elsewhere.
For the rst time in the ve-
year history of new Yankee Sta-
dium, there were no home runs
on opening day.
Sabathia (0-1) dropped to 0-2
with a 7.43 ERA in ve opening-
day starts with the Yankees,
allowing four runs, eight hits
and four walks in ve innings.
Coming off surgery Oct. 25 to
remove a bone spur from his left
elbow, Sabathia topped out at
91 mph.
He gave up four runs in the
second inning, when two walks
helped set up Juan Iglesias run-
scoring ineld single to short-
stop, Victorinos two-run single
and Dustin Pedroias RBI single.
Bradley hit a run-scoring
comebacker in the seventh
against Boone Logan, and the
Red Sox added three runs in
the ninth off Joba Chamberlain,
when Jacoby Ellsbury drove in
a pair with a 150-foot single to
Cano at second. He didnt have
a play at rst, then fumbled the
ball before making an ofine
throw home. Victorino then sin-
gled in the nal run.

Boston Red Sox left elder Jackie Bradley Jr. pulls in a deep
y out by new York Yankees Robinson Cano during the third
inning Monday in new York.
almost two decades all with
the Braves. Im missing it to-
day, but I wont miss it tomor-
row, Jones said as he sat in the
Braves dugout before the game.
Tim Hudson gave up six
hits and three runs in 4 1-3 in-
nings. Hudson had a 4-0 lead
before Chase Utley led off the
fourth with a homer and drove
in two runs with a bases-loaded
single in the fth. Utley tripled
in the seventh for his third hit
and scored on Ryan Howards
groundout.
Luis Avilan (1-0) took over
for Hudson and pitched 1 2-3
scoreless innings. Craig Kimbrel
pitched a perfect ninth inning
for his rst save.
Freeman led the Braves with
seven home runs in spring train-
ing. Hitting cleanup in Atlantas
new-look lineup which includes
outelders Justin Upton and B.J.
Upton, Freeman gave Atlanta
the lead with his two-run homer
into the Braves bullpen in the
rst inning. The two-out homer
drove in Jason Heyward, who
walked.
Uggla led off the second in-
ning with the Braves second
homer into the left-eld seats.
Justin Upton added a line-drive
homer to left-center in the fth.
Uptons homer came after
Utleys bases-loaded single off
Hudson in the top of the fth cut
Atlantas lead to 4-3.
Theyre going to hit a lot of
home runs, Hamels said. Obvi-
ously, to keep them from hitting
home runs you have to keep the
ball down. I wasnt able to do
that.
Atlanta scored two runs off
Chad Durbin in the sixth. Durbin
walked Uggla, who moved to
third on Chris Johnsons double.
Gerald Laird added a run-scor-
ing single and Johnson scored
on pinch-hitter Reed Johnsons
double-play grounder.
John Mayberry Jr. doubled
off Jordan Walden in the eighth,
moved to third on Waldens wild
pitch, and scored on a single by
Eric Kratz.

The Oak-
land Raiders
have traded
for Seattle
Seahawks
backup quar-
terback Matt
Flynn in the
teams latest
change at
the games
most impor-
tant posi-
tion.
Quarterback Flynn dealt to Raiders; Kolb joining Bills
The Associated Press
ALAMEDA, Calif. The
Oakland Raiders are changing
directions at quarterback once
again.
The Raiders acquired Seattle
backup Matt Flynn on Monday
for draft picks, signaling an end
to Carson Palmers brief tenure
as starter in Oakland.
Fox Sports reported Palmer
was expected to be dealt to
Arizona. The Raiders paid a
hefty price when they acquired
Palmer from Cincinnati mid-
way through the 2011 season,
trading a 2012 rst-round draft
pick and 2013 second-rounder
for the former Pro Bowler. They
now will move on from Palmer
before they have even nished
paying up on the trade.
Oakland will send a fth-
round pick in 2014 and a con-
ditional pick in 2015 to Seattle
for Flynn. The Raiders also will
receive a late-round pick from
Arizona if the deal for Palmer is
completed.
Palmer failed to get Oakland
to the playoffs in 2011, falling
one game short, then the Raid-
ers regressed and went 4-12 this
past year. With Palmer owed
$13 million for this season and
the Raiders in rebuilding mode,
general manager Reggie McK-
enzie decided to get a quarter-
back he was familiar with from
his time in Green Bay.
After showing promise as a
backup with the Packers, Flynn
signed a three-year, $26 million
deal with the Seahawks, but
failed to beat out rookie Russell
Wilson for the starting job and
quickly became expendable.
Flynn, a backup in college at
LSU to former Raiders quar-
terback JaMarcus Russell, has
started just two games in ve
seasons as a pro. But its those
brief appearances that intrigue
many NFL teams.
He threw for 251 yards and
three touchdowns in a loss at
New England in place of an in-
jured Aaron Rodgers late in the
2010 season. He then started
the regular-season nale the fol-
lowing season, going 31 for 44
for 480 yards and six touchdown
passes in a 45-41 win over De-
troit.
Flynn was drafted by the
Packers in the seventh round in
2008 when McKenzie worked
in the Green Bay front ofce.
He has throws 141 passes in his
career, completing 87 for 1,083
yards, nine touchdowns and ve
interceptions.
Since dealing a 2012 fourth-
round pick to Washington dur-
ing the 2010 draft for Jason
Campbell, the Raiders have
committed up to six draft picks
on quarterbacks with no proof
they have found the right man
for the job.
Oakland used a 2012 third-
round pick to take Terrelle Pry-
or in the supplemental draft in
2011; dealt the two high picks
for Palmer after Campbell got
hurt in October 2011; and now
have made the deal for Flynn.
If Flynn beats out Pryor for
the starting job, he will be the
16th quarterback to start for
Oakland since the beginning of
the 2003 season.
Kolb signs with Bills
BUFFALO, N.Y. Kevin
Kolb is getting another chance
at a fresh start, this time with
the quarterback-needy Buffalo
Bills.
A person familiar with negoti-
ations said the free-agent sixth-
year player agreed to a two-year
contract potentially worth over
$12 million with Buffalo. The
person spoke on condition of
anonymity because the Bills
havent announced the move.
Several media outlets report-
ed the agreement.
Kolb spent the past two sea-
sons in Arizona, where injuries
hampered his opportunity to
prove himself as a starter. The
Cardinals were left with little
choice but to release Kolb on
March 15 in a move that came
before they were set to pay the
player a $2 million roster bonus
and saved the team about $7
million in salary cap space.
Buffalo was down to one expe-
rienced quarterback on its ros-
ter Tarvaris Jackson after
releasing returning starter Ryan
Fitzpatrick earlier this month.
McCoy shipped to San Fran
CLEVELAND A person
familiar with the deal says the
Cleveland Browns have traded
quarterback Colt McCoy to San
Francisco.
McCoy, who started 21 games
for the Browns in three seasons,
has been sent to the 49ers for a
late-round draft pick.
McCoy became expendable
last week when the Browns
signed veteran backup Jason
Campbell, who is expected to
challenge Brandon Weeden for
the starting job.

Bouwmeester off to Blues
CALGARY, Alberta -- The
Calgary Flames traded defense-
man Jay Bouwmeester to the St.
Louis Blues on Monday night.
In return, the Flames got a
rst-round pick and two pros-
pects -- defenseman Mark
Cundari and goaltender Reto
Berra.
If St. Louis does not qualify
for this years playoffs, the
Flames will receive St. Louis
fourth-round selection in this
summers draft, with the rst-
round pick being deferred to
2014.
The move comes after Cal-
gary started to rebuild by trad-
ing captain Jarome Iginla to
Pittsburgh last week.
The NHL trade deadline is 3
p.m. on Wednesday.
Bouwmeester, who has an
annual cap hit of $6.68 million
through to the end of next sea-
son, has six goals and nine as-
sists in 33 games in 2013.
Bouwmeester joined Calgary
in 2009 after being drafted third
overall by the Florida Panthers
in 2002.
Kings acquire Regehr
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Los
Angeles Kings have acquired
defenseman Robyn Regehr from

two second-round draft picks.
The defending Stanley Cup
champions announced the deal
on their Twitter account Mon-
day, saying the trade is contin-
gent on Regehr passing a medi-
cal exam.
In exchange, the Sabres ac-
quired the Kings second-round
picks in 2014 and 2015.
The 13-year NHL veteran will
be an unrestricted free agent
this summer, and waived his no-
trade clause to approve the deal.

BUSINESS
SECTI ON B
IN BRIEF
Penney focuses on home
J.C. Penney is honing in on its home
department as part of a bigger plan to
turn its stores into mini-malls of sorts.
The struggling department-store
chain is unveiling revamped home
areas within its stores that feature
20 boutiques that highlight 50 new
brands. The areas will include an eclec-
tic mix of items, from $60 Michael
Graves stainless steel teakettles to
$1,850 Jonathan Adler Happy Chic
sofas.
The home areas, which Penney will
begin to roll out Friday at 500 of its
1,100 stores, are big tests of CEO Ron
Johnsons plan to open separate shops-
within-stores for popular designers.
The format, which gives department
stores more of a mini-mall feel, have
been popular at higher-end rivals such
as Macys and Bloomingdales for
years.
Cyprus gets a reprieve
Cyprus government spokesman
says the country has been granted an
extra year until 2017 to achieve a
targeted budget surplus of 4 percent as
part of negotiations with international
lenders for a rescue package.
Christos Stylianides said Monday
that government negotiators are still
looking to extend that by a further
year. Under a preliminary agreement
with Cyprus euro area partners and
the IMF, Cyprus had until 2016 to
generate the budget surplus target
through a raft of spending cuts and tax
hikes.
Stylianides also said that negotia-
tors will seek to give businesses access
to 40 percent of their deposits over
100,000 euros in Cyprus largest lender
that are now frozen under a bank
restructuring agreement in order to
get the countrys moribund economy
going again.

Inda rejects
Novartis
patent try
NEW DELHI Indias Supreme
Court on Monday rejected drug
maker Novartis AGs attempt to pat-
ent an updated version of a cancer
drug in a landmark decision that
health activists say ensures poor
patients around the world will get
continued access to cheap versions
of lifesaving medicines.
Novartis hadarguedthat it needed
a patent to protect its investment in
the cancer drug Glivec, while activ-
ists said the drug did not merit intel-
lectual property protection in India
because it was not a new medicine.
In response to the ruling, Novartis
said it would not invest in drug re-
search in India.
The courts decisionhas global sig-
nicance since Indias $26 billion ge-
neric drug industry, which supplies
much of the cheap medicine used in
the developing world, couldbe stunt-
ed if Indian law allowed global drug
companies to extend the lifespan of
patents by making minor changes to
medicines.
Pratibha Singh, a lawyer for the In-
dian generic drug manufacturer Ci-
pla, which makes a version of Glivec
for less than a tenth of the original
drugs selling price, said the court
ruled that a patent could only be giv-
en to a new drug, and not to those
whichare only slightly different from
the original.
Patents will be given only for
genuine inventions, and repetitive
patents will not be given for minor
tweaks to an existing drug, Singh
told reporters outside the court.
Novartis called the ruling a set-
back for patients, and said patent
protection is crucial to fostering in-
vestment in research to develop new
and better drugs.
Ranjit Shahani, the vice chairmHe
said the courts decision made India
an even less attractive country for
major investments by international
pharmaceutical companies.
April Fools: YouTube shut down, Google maps out buried treasure
NEW YORK Twitter did away
with vowels, Google unveiled a but-
ton to add smells and the cast of the
1990s sitcom Wings launched a
Kickstarter campaign.
The digital world celebrated
April Fools Day with the rollout
of mock innovations and parody
makeovers. Many of the top online
destinations spent Monday mock-
ing themselves and, in Googles
case, playfully trying to lure users
into pressing their noses against
their computer screens.
Google, having already debuted
its wearable Google Glass, on Mon-
day showcased Google Nose to add
scents to it search results. It urged
visitors to lean in close and take a
deep whiff for search results such as
unattended litter box.
In the fast-paced world that we
live in, we dont always have time to
stop and smell the roses, product
manager Jon Wooly said in a video.
Now with Google Nose Beta, the
roses are just a click away.
YouTube, despite 72 hours of
video uploaded every minute, said
it was shutting down. The Google
Inc.-owned video site joked that its
eight-year rise was merely a lengthy
talent search. At the end of the day,
nominees were to no longer be ac-
cepted so judges could, for the next
10 years, sift through the billions of
videos and declare a winner.
The comedy site Funny or Die
parodied the recent Kickstarter cam-
paign for a Veronica Mars movie
with a number of crowd-funding
campaigns for other 1990s shows,
including Wings and Family Mat-
ters. The mock campaigns included
videos with original cast members
trapped by nostalgia.
Netix, meanwhile, boasted joke
genre categories such as Reality TV
about people with no concept of real-
ity.

This PNC branch in Edwardsville will close June 21 and accounts will be transfered to a nearby branch.
EDWARDSVILLE Customers of
the Edwardsville branch of PNC Bank
have been notied that the branch will
close June 21 and that their accounts
will be transferred to the closest
branch, one mile up Wyoming Avenue
in Kingston.
The Pittsburgh-based bank previous-
ly announced that its planning to close
200 branches nationwide this year as
part of a restructuring effort. Its a
$700 million cost-cutting move, the
Pittsburgh Business Times reported.
This consolidation is in line with
the others we are implementing this
year, said Marcey Zwiebel, vice presi-
dent and senior manger of external
communications for PNC Financial
Services Group. Research indicates
that PNC customers today are banking
very differently, opting to use our con-
venient online and mobile channels
and ATMs to conduct their basic bank-
ing needs. PNC continues to evaluate
its branch network to assure we are
meeting customer needs in a cost ef-
fective way, which at times results in
the consolidation of branches.
Zwiebel said the only other regional
PNC branches slated for closure in
the coming months are the Lehigh-
ton branch on South First Street and
the Nazareth branch on North Center
Square. Like Edwardsville, both will
close June 21.
Saying it was policy not to detail
the number of employees at branches,
Zwiebel said, typically when PNC
closes a branch, we do our best to reas-
sign the staff.
The Kingston branch where ac-
counts are being transferred to is lo-
cated at 664 Wyoming Ave., just one
mile away from the 100 S. Wyoming
Ave. branch in Edwardsville.
PNC is the largest bank in the Great-
er Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area by
number of branches and deposit mar-
ket share.
According to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corp.s annual analysis of
banks deposit market share in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metro area as
of June 30, 2012, PNC Bank had 33 of-
ces in Lackawanna, Luzerne and Wy-
oming counties and reported $2.5 bil-
lion in deposits, about a quarter of all
deposits in the tri-county region. The
next closest was Wells Fargo, which
reported a little over $1 billion at its
14 branches.
Nationwide, PNC has about 2,900
branches in 19 states and Washington,
D.C., and employs 56,000 worldwide.
In Luzerne County, PNC operates
19 branches including those in Avoca,
Mountain Top, Dallas, Mocanaqua,
Conyngham, Wilkes-Barre, Hanover
Township, Kingston, Edwardsville,
Wyoming, Plains Township, Wilkes-
Barre Township, Dupont, White Ha-
ven, Freeland, Nanticoke and West
Pittston.

Marriage
can take
its toll on
your health
By KimHone-mcmaHan
Akron Beacon Journal
AKRON, Ohio Many folks
are skipping marriage these
days, but a new study shows that
happily married couples con-
sider themselves healthier than
their unmarried peers.
A University of Missouri as-
sistant professor found that, in
all stages of marriage, positive
or negative relationships affect
a persons
percept i on
of his or
her health.
So spouses
should note
that the way
they treat
each other,
and how
happy they
are in their
ma r r i a g e ,
affect both
p a r t n e r s
health. In
other words,
cool it with
the unnec-
essary argu-
ments.
Engaging
with your
spouse is
not going to
cure cancer,
but building stronger relation-
ships can improve both peoples
spirits and well-being and lower
their stress, Christine Proulx,
who analyzed data from more
than 700 married folks, said in a
news release.
So, is the study accurate?

I know from
experience
that being in
an unhappy
marriage
can be very
unhealthy
physically and
mentally for a
person. I was
in an unhappy
marriage for
19 years and
paid the price
for it with my
health.
Suzanne Cordner
The scene plays out sev-
eral times a day at Akron
Childrens Hospital in Akron,
Ohio, where therapy dogs
such as Tank are an integral
part of the rehabilitation pro-
cess, said physical therapist
Kate Patton of Tallmadge,
Ohio.
The dogs make our plan
of care effective. We come in
with a plan, and they make it
happen, Patton said of the
dogs enrolled in the therapy
program with the Childrens
Hospital Doggie Brigade.
For Allison Hill, 26, dogs
such as Tank will help her
reach her goal live as in-
dependently as possible
sooner with only one care
provider.
(The dogs) are motivat-
ing, said Hill of Ravenna,
Ohio, who attends the thera-
py sessions eight hours a day,

If it wasnt for the dogs
encouraging me, I wouldnt
want to do it, she admitted.

years and paid the price for it
with my health, offered Su-
zanne Cordner of Uniontown,
Ohio, who is now remarried.
The stress I was under creat-
ed havoc in my body. It weak-
ened my immune system,
leading to many illnesses,
and I still, to this day 14 years
later, have medical issues that
I need to see a doctor every
week for.
Lynn Ruediger of Richfield,
Ohio, agrees that a bad mar-
riage is certainly terrible on
a persons health physical
and mental.
Negativity can be so de-
structive on a human be-
ing that having an unhappy
partnership should be as-
sessed and possibly ended,
said Ruediger, who has been
married for 46 years. I feel
there are times when mar-
ried people who still enjoy
their lives together are hap-
pier and healthier. Often, a
loving spouse is the reason
you take better care of your
health. You socialize often
with like-minded people,
and you generally feel cared
for.
Proulx suggested health
professionals consider a pa-
tients personal relationship
when designing a treatment
plan.
I suspect wed have higher
rates of adherence if medical
professionals placed more of
an emphasis on incorporating
families and spouses in pa-
tients care, she said.
But Dave Egan, of Stow,
Ohio, who has been married
for 38 years, said that while
mental and physical health
can be attributed to a happy
marriage, that doesnt nec-
essarily mean that the hap-
pily married are more fit than
their unmarried counterparts.
To personalize it, I have
a happy marriage and sat-
isfy the requirement of be-
ing mentally and physically
healthy. However, could I be
just as healthy if I were sin-
gle? There is no way to test
that unless I were to get a
divorce, allowing for a com-
parison, noted Egan, adding
hes not interested in trying
that out.
But what about a person
whose spouse has died? Does
the happiness from a good
marriage linger enough in
the heart to keep the person
healthy?
Becky Costello of Akron,
Ohio, has been widowed for
two years. She and Tim were
married 36 years. It wasnt a
perfect marriage, she noted,
but Tim was perfect for her.
And their marriage was hap-
py.
During my period of acute
grief, I was not as robustly
healthy as I had been prior
to Tims death. I lost interest
in food (Tim was a graduate
of the Culinary Institute of
America, and a talented chef)
and I had difficulty maintain-
ing a healthy diet and meal
schedule, and as a result I lost
weight, she said. My sleep
habits were also affected; four
or five hours of sleep each
night constituted a new good
nights sleep.
Mentally, the bereaved
Costello lost her ability to
feel joy, hope and other emo-
tions.
But I know the happi-
ness from loving Tim and
being his wife was still in
my heart even during the
time of acute grief. And as
I worked through the acute
grief, I began to reconnect to
those feelings, including the
happiness and love from our
marriage, which remain with
me to this day.

Kathaleen Stevenson, a coun-
selor with Kessler Psychologi-
cal Services in Hartville, Ohio,
notes that whether single or
married, those who are the hap-
piest:
Dont keep grudges. They
forgive easily and wisely, keeping
healthy relationships by being
active participants in creating
positive interactions.
Have a sense of purpose for
their lives, engaging outside of
their relationships to contrib-
ute to the greater good, thus
enriching their relationships and
personal joy.
Do not accept any form of abu-
siveness in their relationships.
Follow the Serenity Prayer,
which says, God grant me the
serenity to accept what I cannot
change, the courage to change
what I can and the wisdom to
know the difference.

Doctors should do more to watch what you eat
By Julie DearDorff
Chicago Tribune
Despite a growing consensus
that cardiovascular disease is a
food-borne illness, many phy-
sicians are ill-prepared to advise
patients on what they should eat
to best protect them from heart
attack or stroke.
One provocative new study
found that a Mediterranean-style
diet was so effective at ward-
ing off heart attacks, stroke and
death that scientists stopped it
early. They wanted to let sub-
jects inthe control groupandthe
public start to reap the benets.
Yet the number of hours de-
voted to nutrition education in
medical schools is decreasing,
leaving doctors unequipped to
deal with common patient con-
cerns about diet, studies have
found.
Even as rates of obesity and
Type 2 diabetes soar, researchers
report that doctors are spending
less time than ever talking to
patients about nutrition because
they lack time, training and opti-
mismthat patients canmake life-
style changes. Insurance is also
more likely to cover procedures
than behavioral counseling.
Ask 50 cardiologists and
theyll say, Of course I know
about the Mediterranean diet,
said Dr. Dean Ornish, president
and founder of the nonprot
Preventive Medicine Research
Institute. But if you ask, Do you
teach it? they say, No, who has
the time? This is real-worldmed-
icine. We need to do it better.
Theres tremendous igno-
rance about nutrition among
physicians, added Dr. William
Davis, a preventive cardiologist
in Milwaukee. It has never been
part of the culture.
Cardiovascular disease, which
kills 600,000 Americans a year
more than all types of can-
cer and AIDS combined is
linked to high blood cholesterol.
Though cholesterol-lowering
statin drugs are popular treat-
ments, levels in the body also
can be lowered through diet.
Meanwhile, lifestyle changes
have been shown to work bet-
ter than medication in prevent-
ing obesity and Type 2 diabetes,
both risk factors for heart dis-
ease.
Procedures involving stents
and angioplasty can save lives
when patients are in the middle
of a heart attack or having un-
stable symptoms, but patients
also often undergo themin more
stable situations in which they
have not been proved to prevent
a heart attack or extend life.
Research suggests that physi-
cians dont feel comfortable, con-
dent or adequately prepared to
give nutrition advice, said Kelly
Adams, a research associate in
the department of nutrition at
the University of North Carolina.
One survey published in
2003, for example, found that
96 percent of internists and 84
percent of the cardiologists who
responded did not know that a
low-fat diet, in general, would in-
crease triglycerides in the blood.
High triglycerides increase the
risk of heart disease.
This can lead to well-mean-
ing but misguided information
being given to patients, Adams
said.
Some heart specialists say
the question is whether physi-
cians should be the ones supply-
ing the information on diet and
nutrition, even if they are well-
educated.
The patients we see are in
sensory overload a new diag-
nosis, an evaluation of lifestyle,
new medicines, perhaps recent
procedures and then diet is-
sues, said Dr. Clyde Yancy, chief
of cardiology at Northwestern
Universitys Feinberg School of
Medicine.
What patients need most is
coaching and support that can
help them make lasting behav-
ioral changes, but thats no easy
task, Yancy said. We (physi-
cians) may lead the team, but it
does take a village and requires
having access to good informa-
tion and an expert dietitian, he
said.
A 1985 landmark report on
nutrition in medical schools by
the National Academy of Scienc-
es found that on average, future
physicians received 21 hours of
nutrition instruction over four
years. Medical students need at
least 25 hours to be adequately
prepared to help patients, the re-
port concluded.
Since then, professional
groups, federal agencies, scien-
tic journals and even a congres-
sional mandate have called for
improved nutritional training
among doctors.
Yet more than two decades
later, nutrition education in U.S.
medical schools remains inade-
quate, according to a 2010 study
led by Adams and her UNC col-
leagues and published in the
journal Academic Medicine.

Dr. Clyde Yancy, chief of cardiology at Northwestern Univer-
sitys Feinberg School of Medicine, talks with patient Tiffany
Hendrick, left, and her mother Juanita Nelson, behind, about
the Mediterranean diet and the importance of nutrition during
an exam in Chicago, Ill.
bilitation at the hospital follow-
ing surgery that removed a pain
pump from her body. During
the process from changing to
oral pain medication, she was
enrolled in the hospitals therapy
program, doing exercises to deal
with acute changes in her muscle
function.
With each muscle she uses in
her spine, legs and arms as she
bends over to pet the dog, the
pain can be excruciating. It regis-
ters on her face.
Its enough to keep many
patients at home if it werent
for the fact they would miss
working with the dogs, said
Chris Witschey of Wad-
sworth, Ohio, who is credited
with being one of the leaders
of the program. Her three
therapy dogs have some of
the same special needs as the
patients, which might make it
easier for children and adults
to relate.
Tank, who suffered knee prob-
lems until implanted metal plates
helped him walk, has an innate
sense of empathy that makes him
a standout among the hospitals
78 dogs in its Doggie Brigade
program, Patton said.
Tank is the most perceptive
when the kids are in discomfort,
she said.
He will actually get between
the patient and the therapist
when he thinks theyve had
enough, Witschey agreed.
Handsome, a deaf Australian
shepherd/Rottweiler mix who
understands commands in Amer-
ican sign language, and Gracie, a
rescued, three-legged husky mix,
round out Witscheys team.
The dogs are one of the big-
gest motivators to keep them en-
gaged. This is an all-day program,
and (the patients) get burned
out, Witschey said.
At a recent session, Jeannie
Bussey of Hartville, Ohio, a spe-
cial education teacher, shadowed
Witschey and Tank with her
Bernese mountain dog, who is
called Blessing because he was
one of 10 dogs in a litter born on
Thanksgiving Day.
Bussey is training to move
from visitations to therapy in the
program. Blessing, already in the
brigade of visitation dogs, is hon-
ing her therapy skills.
If a child is afraid, (Bless-
ing) will sit real still and slowly
move her head closer until the
child feels comfortable with her,
Bussey said.
Almost every patient in the
hospital is aware of the visit-
ing dogs, said Dr. Micah Baird,
Hills physiatrist, who practic-
es physical medicine and is a
rehabilitation therapy special-
ist.
Ive worked in other hospitals
where they have allowed dogs to
come inbut never one where they
have had so many dogs working
in the program and where they
put the dogs through the training
they do here, Baird said.
Really, if you go to any part
of the hospital and ask a patient
about it, youll nd that most of
them will know about the dogs,
he said.
Every handler and dog in
the brigade team must meet
strict requirements and be
registered by Pet Partners,
formerly the Delta Society,
to be in the hospital. Animals
must be evaluated by hospital
volunteer trainers Janet Mor-
gan of Springeld Township,
Ohio, and Ken McCort, a pro-
fessional animal trainer from
Doylestown, Ohio, said Cindy
Duncan, a supervisor in the
hospitals volunteer depart-
ment.
Handlers must be screened,
undergo a background check by
the FBI and be ngerprinted.
That weeds out anyone we
wouldnt want in the program. If
you have anything in your back-
ground, it will showup, she said.
The program averages about
25 new applications each year.
Each applicant is charged a $50
fee, said Duncan, who lives in
Akron.
Out of 25, maybe half will
make it, she said.
Duncan said it isnt unusual for
an employee to call her ofce in
search of a dog at times.
If there is a problem with get-
ting an IVin, they call to see if we
have a dog here. We send them
up and they de-stress the kids,
she said.
Baird agreed the dogs can be
a huge help when dealing with a
fearful child.
I think it makes the experi-
ence more pleasurable than
painful, and if nothing else, its a
distraction fromthe pain they are
experiencing, he said.
Morgan, who owns two golden
retrievers in the program, said it
takes a special animal to make
the cut in her evaluations.
If they havent been properly
socialized, they probably wont
pass the application process, she
said.
Becoming a Doggie Brigade
team member could cost up-
wards of $200 from beginning to
end, Morgan said. Then the han-
dler must commit to at least 26
two-hour visits each year. Each
dog must be groomed within 24
hours before they visit the hospi-
tal.
Largely, were blessed at
Akron Childrens to have the
program because the dogs are
so available for our kids, Baird
said.
I think the kids really benet
from it, both from the physical
(and) emotional standpoint of
getting through their physical
recovery.

HOW TO CONTACT:
Dear Abby: PO Box 69440, Los Ange-
les, CA 90069
For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com
O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: My
hair falls nearly to
my waist, and I go
to great lengths to
maintain it and keep
it free of split ends.
Many of my
friends, both male
and female, have grown out their hair
over the years and donated it to can-
cer charities.
I have recently been criticized for
wanting to keep my long hair for my-
self and have been called selfish and
a hypocrite. Abby, cancer runs in my
family. I donate money and volunteer
for my local relay for life every year.
When I explain this to my attackers
some of them good friends they
look the other way and say Im hor-
rible because I wont cut my hair.
How do I get my message across to
these people without sounding defen-
sive or snobby?
Rapunzel in Michigan
Dear Rapunzel: It would be neither
defensive nor snobby to smile and re-
ply: We all must decide for ourselves
how we will support the charities that
are important to us. I have chosen to
donate in other ways.
Dear Abby: I have been with my
boyfriend, Keoni, for five years. We
have a healthy relationship. However,
when we go out to the grocery store,
the doctors office or the mall, women
constantly question his ethnicity,
which is Hawaiian. Then, without
fail, theyll proceed to tell him (and
me) how handsome or gorgeous he is.
Keoni does nothing to make me
feel less than pretty myself, but these
frequent comments from strangers
have started to make me feel insecure
about my own appearance. How do
I accept these compliments without
resentment?
Keonis Girlfriend in Florida
Dear Girlfriend: What may be upset-
ting you is that these women ask your
boyfriend inappropriate questions
and appear to be coming on to him.
Face it, your boyfriend is exotic. If
you were in Hawaii, he wouldnt be
exotic YOU might be. The next
time this happens and someone raves
about his good looks, remember that
Keonis with you, not her. But if shes
pushy, suggest she move to Hawaii
and get lei-ed.
Dear Abby: Are hugs the new hand-
shake? I am encountering more and
more people who, instead of shaking
hands when they see you (or say
goodbye), want to hug. I understand
it if you are close friends, but fre-
quently its a business acquaintance.
The two most recent examples
were when I went to meet with my
mothers minister to arrange her fu-
neral. I had never met the man, but
he wanted to hug upon meeting me.
Yesterday, I saw a new eye doctor for
the first time. As I was leaving, I put
out my hand to shake his. He said,
Oh, I like to hug! When I stepped
back and told him, Im not a huggy
person, he seemed offended. Any
suggestions?
Standoffish Sue
Dear Sue: The minister may have
thought that having just lost your
mother, you could have used the hug.
Many people welcome that kind of
comfort. Personally, I agree that the
eye doctors behavior was presumptu-
ous. If you continue to patronize him,
stand out of reach.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman who has long, luxuriant locks wants them to stay that way
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). To see
better, use the long view. It will
reveal interesting patterns and
colors. It will show you how bor-
ing stretches beautifully outline
and emphasize the busier parts
of this picture called Life.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A proj-
ect hits a sticking point. To get
unstuck, make a list of ridiculous,
absurd and impractical solutions.
Then have fun reversing them
turning them upside down, inside
out, back and forth.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Lighthearted ridicule, putdowns
and teasing can cause real dam-
age. This subtle form of shaming
must be stopped, and youre just
the avenger to do the job.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Too
many people agreeing with one
another is bad for groups. Like-
mindedness can limit creativ-
ity. Strong groups encourage
diversity, which is something to
consider now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Once you
drop your defenses, you realize
that your ego is not as fragile
as you thought it was. In fact,
youre pretty tough emotionally,
especially when youre acting on
behalf of loved ones.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Knowing
too much about your problem
may be preventing you from see-
ing the solution. Those who are
ignorant of the issue may come
up with the very best solution
of all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Hearing
entails sound waves bounc-
ing around in a persons head.
Listening involves the interpreta-
tion of those sounds into ideas,
information and emotion.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). An
insistent and strong-willed per-
son may try to circumvent your
authority. This could be an up-
and-comer or your own progeny.
You may smile and make light of
things, but in the end, youll stay
firm.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
As the moon moves out of your
sign, you may feel that in some
way the pressure is off. You may
even take a few hours to goof
around. Being unproductive on
purpose is oddly relaxing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your
tendency is to accept too much
responsibility for things gone
wrong and not enough credit for
what goes right. Youll get the
chance to fix this imbalance.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is
only natural to be skeptical of
people who are overly nice and
complimentary or who make
claims of instantly falling in
love with you. You want to earn
respect and admiration; other-
wise, it feels cheap.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
Perpetual dissatisfaction throws
up a red flag to the universe
warning that youre hard to
please. Loving what you already
have is a prerequisite to attract-
ing more.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 2).
This year will not resemble last
year, and this is a good thing.
Your repeat button was get-
ting worn out anyway. Your living
arrangements will change this
month as a result of your beauty
and truth-seeking. Capricorn and
Pisces people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 15, 17, 43, 2
and 8.
