Joe Paterno
estate suing
the NCAA
Two out of every three
major urban roads in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre re-
gion are in poor or mediocre
condition, underscoring the
transportation dilemma the
state faces, according to a
report released Wednesday
by a national transportation
organization.
And using those roads is
costing the average driver
an additional $1,320 per
year in extra vehicle oper-
ating costs as a result of
driving on roads in need
of repair, lost time and fuel
due to congestion-related
delays.

STATE COLLEGE The es-
tate of the late Penn State coach
Joe Paterno and several univer-
sity trustees and former play-
ers plan to sue the NCAA over
the landmark sanctions against
the university for the Jerry San-
dusky child sex abuse scandal.
The Paterno familys attor-
ney, Wick Sollers, told Bob
Costas on the NBC Sports Net-
works Costas Tonight show
that aired Wednesday evening
that former coaches and faculty
members are part of the suit.
Excerpts from Costas inter-
views with Sollers and other
representatives for the family
were provided by the network.
According to NBC Sports
Network, Sollers said NCAA
President Mark Emmert and
Oregon State President Edward
Ray who was chairman of the
NCAAs execu-
tive commit-
tee are also
named in the
planned litiga-
tion. The law-
suit also takes
issue with the
NCAAs use
of former FBI
director Louis Freehs scathing
ndings for the university on
the scandal in levying the strict
sanctions last July.
Among the penalties were a
four-year bowl ban, steep schol-
arship cuts and a $60 million
ne. The NCAA also vacated
111 wins from Paternos record,
meaning he would no longer
hold the title of major college
footballs winningest coach.
Sollers, in an interview
Wednesday with The Associat-
ed Press, said lawyers planned
to le the lawsuit today in state
court in Centre County, home
of Penn States agship campus.

Student loan giant Sallie Mae announced Wednesday
it plans to split into two separate, publicly traded com-
panies and it has a new chief executive ofcer to guide
the company through the change.
Newark, Del.-based Sallie Mae, which has ofces
throughout the country including a center in Ha-
nover Township that employs 900 anticipates the
split, if given nal approval by its board, could be com-
pleted within 12 months.
Company spokeswoman Nikki Lavoie noted the
company expects the anticipated split to have limited
impact on our workforce size, which stands at 7,000
company wide.
Effective immediately, John F. Re-
mondi has taken over the CEO du-
ties, succeeding Albert Lord, who is
retiring and also stepping down as
vice chairman. Remondi has served as
president and chief operating ofcer
since 2011 and was chief nancial of-
cer and vice chairman before that.
Sallie Mae, formally named SLM
Corp., issued a release Wednesday saying its board au-
thorized management to pursue separation of the com-
Sallie Mae will split, become two companies

WILKES-BARRE Volun-
teers of Americas Learning
Works program graduated 20
Learning Workers Wednes-
day at a dinner in the Sheehy-
Farmer Campus Center at
Kings College.
Learning Works is an after-
school program that works
with fth- through eighth-grad-
ers from Kistler Elementary,
Dobson Elementary and Mey-
ers Junior/Senior High School.
The students were recruited by
teachers and guidance counsel-
ors after struggling academi-
cally and losing faith in the
education system.
Shannon Doyne, project
manager of Learning Works,
said the goal of the program
is to teach students skills that
lead to academic success and
to present them with a variety
of career paths.
We are building the leaders
of the future by empowering
them to start down the road to
a career that makes them hap-
py and fullled, Doyne said.
Starting in January, each stu-
dent had a one-on-one weekly
tutoring session with a Kings
College mentor, a relationship
that lasts the whole semester.
Students had the chance to
learn about their mentors suc-
cesses and how they ended up
at this point in life. Khariana
Hughes, a fth-grader at Kis-
tler Elementary, said her men-
tor, Morgan, was one of her
favorite things about Learning
Workers.
She taught me how to do
simple math and told me to al-
ways do my best, Hughes said.
In addition to tutoring ses-
sions, guests known as career
presenters talked to the Learn-
ing Workers once a week to
give career advice. Doyne said
they tried to bring in people
from a wide variety of occupa-
tions such as an EMT, a state
sh and boat commissioner
and a pizza restaurant owner
so the kids know they can ac-
complish whatever they want.
Alex Rivera, also a fth-grad-
er at Kistler Elementary, wants
to be an artist when he grows
up and said he was inspired by
a tattoo artist who talked to
them about his career.
During the ceremony, every
Learning Worker gave a presen-
tation on the dream career of
his or her choice and received
a special certicate in front of
family members and teachers
in the audience.
Sue Henry, radio personality
at WILK-FM since 2002 and
Kings College alumna, also
spoke about the value of hard
work.
Hard work pays off! Henry
said and made the audience
repeat the phrase enthusiasti-
cally back at her.
The secret is out with you.
You already know the secret to
hard work, Henry said.
The program has a great
track record. Last spring, 28
Learning Workers, out of 29,
had higher grades since enter-
ing the program.
My grades were very low.
Once I started Learning Work-
ers, I started getting As, Bs
and Cs, Hughes said.
Doyne said at the end of
Learning Works, students are
more focused on their school
work and they seem happier.
Mecca Davis, a seventh-grader
at Meyers, said she is more in-
terested in school now and her
attitude has improved.
Ive gotten better in school
and Ive gotten better as a per-
son, Davis said. My attitude
is better than it was before. Be-
fore it was bad, but now it is a
little better.
Part of the kids success is
thanks to their learning coach,
Sarina Drevenak. She visits the
students homes every other
week for an hour and helps
them get more organized and
sets goals.
I nd it rewarding when
you see a smile on a kids face.
Just to see the kid succeed in
doing something they didnt
think they could do, Dreve-
nak said.
Because of Learning Works,
Rivera is condent that he will
be a smart kid one day.
Without Learning Works, I
dont know what I would have
done, Rivera said.

The 2013 summer-concert
season ofcially got under
way Wednesday with the
Dave Matthews Bands an-
nual trek up Montage Moun-
tain.
Appearing only one year
and one day after its previ-
ous performance at the Toy-
ota Pavilion, the popular jam
band from Charlottesville,
Va., took the stage at 8:25
with an extended, stellar ver-
sion of Warehouse.
Neither the DMB nor
opening band moe. is a
stranger to Scranton: Each
has played here numerous
times and each has released
a live album recorded in
the Electric City. Including
Wednesday nights perfor-
mance, DMB has played the
Toyota Pavilion seven times
since June 2005, when it
sold out its initial show at
the Scranton amphitheater
(a later show was released
in the bands Live Trax se-
ries).
Usually a headliner in its
own right, moe., a jam band
formed at the University at
Buffalo in 1989, has played
the Scranton Cultural Center
a number of times, including
a Feb. 28, 2001, appearance
documented on Warts and
All, Volume One.
Only playing two shows
as part of this tour, moe.
opened Wednesdays show
with a well-received 45-min-
ute set. The bands nal tune
segued nicely into the theme
from The Ofce, which
delighted the multitudes of
Dunder-Mifin fans in atten-
dance.
The core members of
the Dave Matthews Band
Dave Matthews (lead vo-
cals, acoustic guitar), Boyd
Tinsley (violin), Stefan
Lessard (bass guitar) and
Carter Beauford (drums,
backing vocals) were
once again joined by elec-
tric guitarist extraordinaire
Tim Reynolds and the
horn section of Jeff Cofn
(saxophone) and Rashawn
Ross (trumpet) for Wednes-
days show. They all casu-
ally strolled onto the stage,
tuned up for a minute or
two, then launched into the
opening number to an up-
roarious reaction from the
large crowd.
The stage seemed sim-
pler than in past years the
video screens werent used
until about the sixth song,
and there were no elabo-
rate lights or much of a set
design. Just seven musi-
cians and their instruments
stretching the boundaries of
each song as they have been
doing for more than two de-
cades.
The band followed Ware-
house with The Idea of
You and new song Roof-
top before nding a great
groove on One Sweet
World and Captain in the
early part of the show.
Why I Am with its men-
tion of the GrooGrux King,
a nickname of deceased
member LeRoi Moore, was
the most enthusiastically re-
ceived in the early going.
I was telling a friend
about this place a day or two
ago, Matthews said after
the rst song. You know, its
this big canvas stretched out
kind of thing. But every time
we play here, we always have
a great time.
Thank you so much,
good to see you, he shouted
as the crowd cheered wildly.
After hitting its stride with
#41 and Belly Belly Nice
(another number from most
recent album, 2012s Away
from the World), the band
slowed it down a little for
Sleep to DreamHer, which
segued nicely into Hunger
for the Great Light.
The band then got the
crowd back on its feet for ex-
traordinary, extended work-
outs on Where Are You
Going, Squirm and You
Might Die Trying.
The DMB was working its
way through longtime fan
favorite Jimi Thing as this
article was being written.
Due to an early deadline,
a complete review of the
DMBs performance was not
available at press time.

WILKES-BARRE An upgrade to a
ber-optic connection improved the Hawk-
eye Security Solutions cameras in the Park
& Lock East garage, said a member of the
board of the nonprot corporation oversee-
ing the operation of the citys surveillance
system.
The switch from copper wire cost about
$2,000 for hardware to make the connec-
tion, said Lou Lau, a Hawkeye board mem-
ber and Wilkes-Barre city employee, at
the boards regular monthly meeting on
Wednesday. The improvement there is
fantastic, Lau said.
The garage is located on the corner of
North Washington and East Market streets,
across from City Hall.
The Wilkes-Barre Parking Authoritys
two other garages, Park & Lock Central
and North, have wireless connections. The
Intermodal garage, operated by the city,
should have more than 60 cameras opera-
tional in another month.
Of the nearly 250 cameras that make up
the system in the downtown and neighbor-
hoods, about 18 of them are down for re-
pairs or because of network issues, Lau said.
The parking authority is the systems
sole paying customer for the $2 million
system that went on line in 2010 and was
built with state and federal money. The au-
thority has a contract the runs to the end of
the year and has an outstanding balance of
$15,428 for April and May. It paid an iden-
tical amount for February and March.
Board member Greg Barrouk, who also
works for the city, delivered the treasurers
report and said there were no deposits
made this month.
Hawkeye began May with a cash balance
of $4,835 and had a total of $3,620 in ex-
penses, leaving it with a cash balance of
$1,215.
The largest expense was $3,570 from
Legion Security for monitoring the system
at police headquarters. At the beginning of
the month Legion reduced its hours to 88
weekly from around-the-clock coverage. It
did so after the Wilkes-Barre Area School
Board voted against renewing its three-
year, $270,000 contract with Hawkeye.

Selenski records handed over
Prosecutors in the case of Hugo
Selenski, charged in a double homicide,
led court papers Wednesday verifying
theyve handed over Selenskis medical
records.
Prosecutors were ordered to do so
last week after a county judge imposed
sanctions after Sel-
enskis attorneys said
prosecutors engaged
in misconduct in
obtaining the records.
Judge Fred Pieranto-
ni ordered the prosecu-
tors to hand over any
medical records and
delete any related les
from ofce computers.
Selenski, 39, of Kingston Township,
is awaiting a June 24 trial in the May
2002 deaths of Michael Kerkowski and
Tammy Fassett, both 38 at the time.
Selenski might face the death penalty
if convicted of rst-degree murder.
In December, his attorneys said pros-
ecutors obtained medical and psychiat-
ric records of Selenski, even though at
no time has Selenski made either his
mental or physical health an issue.
Also on Wednesday, Pierantoni said a
pretrial hearing will be held June 6.

No county action on vote expected
Luzerne County Election Board so-
licitor Mike Butera doesnt expect the
county to le any requests seeking a
new Hazleton Area School Board elec-
tion as suggested by some residents
and county ofcials.
The results of that school board race
are in question because Luzerne Coun-
tys election ofce failed to inform
neighboring Carbon and Schuylkill
counties of Steve
Hahns withdrawal
from the ballot, and
he ended up receiv-
ing more than 500
votes in those juris-
dictions.
Candidates can le court paperwork
inCarbonandSchuylkill counties seek-
ing a new election before the counties
submit their ofcial certied results to
the state on June 10, but some say that
burden should fall on Luzerne County,
which made the error.
For starters, Butera said he does not
know if the county would have stand-
ing to seek a special election.
The election code says any can-
didate aggrieved by the actions of
the election board can le petitions
with the court, and Butera said that
wouldnt apply to Luzerne County.
Theoretically, Luzerne County is
not aggrieved by anything, Butera
said.
Timing concerns
Timing also is an issue, Butera said.
The county election board would
have to discuss and decide to seek a
new election and then obtain council
approval to le litigation, which is re-
quired by home rule, he said.
Butera said he wants to be upfront
that he does not believe these steps
would be completed before the dead-
line.
I dont think theres enough time
for all the wheels to get that done,
Butera said.

Grifth
By JENNIFER LEARN-ANDES

Move to save county money
could occur if a judge rejects
an attempt to dismiss case.
Luzerne County Chief Solici-
tor C. David Pedri said he will
start representing county Con-
troller Walter Grifth in a civil
suit led by Judd Shoval if a
county judge rejects an attempt
to dismiss the case.
The issue came up at Tues-
days county council meeting
because some council members
have asked Pe-
dri if theres
a conict of
interest with
Grifths cur-
rent represen-
tation.
The rm of
Elliott, Green-
leaf & Dean
is defending
Grifth and
the county in
the civil suit,
which alleges
the controller
violated the
state wiretap
law. Grifth has
privately hired one of the rms
attorneys, Mark Bufalino, to rep-
resent him in separate criminal
felony wiretapping charges re-
cently led against him.
The county is funding
Grifths defense in the civil
suit, but Grifth must pay for
his criminal defense.
Pedri told council he wont
provide his personal opinion on
the potential conict.
Thats up to each attorney to
make their own determination,
Pedri said.
His decision to start repre-
senting Grifth stems mainly
fromthe insurance carriers deci-
sion to deny coverage in the civil
matter, Pedri said. The insur-
ance coverage, which requires
the use of outside legal counsel,
would have funded expenses af-
ter a $150,000 deductible.
Where theres no insurance
coverage, Im going to try to
keep as much litigation as I can
in-house, Pedri said, citing the
savings.
Elliott, Greenleaf & Dean At-
torney Jack Dean said Wednes-
day there is no conict because
the civil litigation is against the
controller in his ofcial capac-
ity, which essentially makes it a
claim against the county. Dean
said the defense in that case fo-
cuses on the countys interest,
with no bearing on Grifths pri-
vate interests.
Dean said a conict would

It doesnt take much to help a lot
PLAINS TWP. Malcolm Bradford
nished his breakfast and was heading
to his one-day, once-a-year job: He was
one of 600 volunteers participating in
Wednesdays United Way Day of Car-
ings Operation Dream.
Bradford, 42, of Wilkes-Barre, an em-
ployee at Lord & Taylor, and his team
of volunteers were assigned to clean the
Back Mountain Trail one of 34 main-
tenance projects completed Wednes-
day.
It feels good to volunteer and help
out in the community, Bradford said
as he left The Woodlands, where the
United Way of Wyoming Valley held
its Operation Dream breakfast and
awards ceremony. It doesnt take much
to help a lot.
Bill Jones, United Way president/
CEO, said the impact of the annual Day
of Caring is signicant to the budgets of
nonprot agencies.
Jones said 622 volunteers represent-
ing 43 businesses performed necessary
work at 34 organizations by doing tasks
ranging from painting to gardening to
cleaning to serving meals to washing
windows to picking up litter to calling
bingo at a pizza party for senior citi-
zens.
Jones said total volunteer hours ex-
ceeded 3,700, providing an estimated
$82,000 in value to the groups helped.
Each of you are passionate about our
community, Jones told a sea of orange-
clad volunteers at the breakfast. You
are all rolling up your sleeves to help
people served by these vital agencies.

will hit higher education.
Selingo did more research and
wrote a book designed to help
parents and students know
what to look for and expect.
My contention is that in
the future there are going to
be many different pathways to
and through college; College in
the future will be, as the title
says, unbound.
The traditional, four-years-
in-one-place model has al-
ready eroded, as colleges in-
creasingly mix Internet-only,
classroom-only and hybrid
courses.
A few colleges have dropped
the 120 credits for a degree
mantra completely, testing
students when they enter and
letting them study what they
need as they need it.
At Western University,
where such competency-
based learning has been fully
embraced, Selingo noted, the
average time to a bachelors de-
gree is 2.5 years at an average
cost of $18,000.
Big changes are necessary
because the old system no lon-
ger works, Selingo argues. We
talk about how great the Amer-
ican higher education system
is. he said. But 400,000 stu-
dents drop out of college every
year.
A big reason for that is soar-
ing costs, but its also a lack
of information when students
pick a college. Giving students
greater exibility in how they
earn their degree including
cooperation among colleges,
real world learning experience
worth college credits, and trav-
el abroad can change that
equation. Selingo said his book
is designed to help make better
choices in higher education.
It can also help keep college
grads in smaller communities
such as the Wyoming Valley.
I talk about Wilkes-Barre at
the end of my book, he said,
noting that the rate of students
attending college varied little
among lower and higher in-
come cities 30 years ago, but
that a gap has grown.
If you come from a family
that makes more than $90,000
a year, you have a one in two
chance of getting a bachelors
degree by age 25, Selingo
said. If you come from a fam-
ily that makes under $35,000,
you have a one in 17 chance.
And even if you graduate
here, you tend to gravitate else-
where, where the jobs are. Un-
til you break that cycle, places
like Wilkes-Barre will never
keep up with other cities.

exist if the county had led the
criminal charges against Grifth
instead of the state.
At a preliminary hearing on
the civil suit last week, Elliott,
Greenleaf & Dean presented
legal arguments for dismissing
the case. County Senior Judge
Charles Brown has not issued a
ruling.
Pedri said he wont le notice
of the lawyer change until the
ruling because Grifth and the
county wont need further rep-
resentation if the suit does not
proceed.
Shoval, who serves on the
board of the nonprot CityVest,
which owns the Hotel Sterling
in downtown Wilkes-Barre, al-
leges Grifth recorded a March
29 telephone conversation
Shoval had with him without
Shovals knowledge or consent.
Shoval seeks damages for viola-
tion of the state wiretap law and
invasion of privacy.
Grifth, who recently won
the Republican nomination for
a second four-year term as con-
troller, faces three counts of in-
tercept communications in the
criminal case. Each violation
carries a maximum sentence of
seven years.
1,747; Mariano, 1,585; and
Chirico, 1,515.
A combined 273 Democrats
picked Hahn in the two coun-
ties.
The Democratic tallies for
the seven contenders: Mehal-
ick, 1,924; Chapman, 1,879;
ODonnell, 1,862; Yenkevich,
1,691; John, 1,611; Mariano,
1,333; and Chirico, 1,265.
If these results stand, Chap-
man, Mehalick and ODonnell
secured nominations to appear
on both party ballots in Novem-
ber. John would be the fourth
ballot contender on the Republi-
can side, while Yenkevich would
be the fourth Democratic candi-
date.
Election ofcials in Carbon
and Schuylkill counties said
they are proceeding with certi-
cation of their election results
and havent received indica-
tions any candidates or Luzerne
County will challenge the re-
sults.
Carbon County Elections Di-
rector Lisa Dart said she does
not know how a special election
with the same candidates would
be structured.
Two county municipalities
Banks Township and Beaver
Meadows Borough fall in the
Hazleton Area School District,
and roughly 700 voters cast bal-
lots in the two.
I believe the only people eli-
gible to vote again would be the
ones who voted last week, Dart
said.
Would these voters be re-
quired to appear at polling loca-
tions again, or could they vote
by absentee ballots because of
the unusual situation, she won-
ders.
2nd challenge possible
If the nominees changed as a
result of a new election, the can-
didates who went from winners
to losers may then have an op-
portunity to challenge the new
results, Dart said.
Butera said the three candi-
dates who secured both party
nominations could end up los-
ing a second time around.
A lot of crazy things could
happen with a new election, he
said.
The election board will meet
at 5:30 p.m. Monday night
the location has not yet been
nalized to certify the elec-
tion results and discuss other
business.
Butera said the board will
comply with councils resolution
to investigate primary election
problems and report ndings to
council on June 25.
Election Board member John
Newman said the election ofce
has been busy tallying hundreds
of write-in votes in municipal
races and verifying that the win-
ning nominees are eligible to
hold ofce.

MUNICIPAL BRIEFS
WASHINGTON Many
people who buy their own
health insurance could get
surprises in the mail this fall:
cancellation notices because
their current policies arent up
to the basic standards of Presi-
dent Barack Obamas health
care law.
They, and some small busi-
nesses, will have to nd re-
placement plans and that
has some
state insur-
ance of-
cials worried
about con-
sumer confu-
sion.
Rollout of
the Afford-
able Care
Act is going full speed ahead,
despite repeal efforts by con-
gressional Republicans. New
insurance markets called ex-
changes are to open in every
state this fall. Middle-class
consumers who dont get cov-
erage on the job will be able
to pick private health plans,
while low-income people will
be steered to an expanded ver-
sion of Medicaid in states that
accept it.
The goal is to cover most of
the nations nearly 50 million
uninsured, but even Obama
says there will be bumps in
the road. And discontinued
insurance plans could be an-
other bump.
Also, it doesnt seem to
square with one of the presi-
dents best known promises
about his health care over-
haul: If you like your health
care plan, youll be able to
keep your health care plan.
But supporters of the over-
haul are betting that consum-
ers wont object once they
realize the coverage they will
get under the new law is su-
perior to current bare-bones
insurance. For example, insur-
ers will no longer be able to
turn people down because of
medical problems.
Other bumps on the road
to the new health care law in-
clude potentially unaffordable
premiums for smokers unless
states act to waive them, a
new $63-per-head fee that will
hit companies already provid-
ing coverage to employees and
dependents, and a long-term
care insurance program that
had to be canceled because of
the risk it could go belly up
The Obama administration
did not respond directly to
questions about the potential
fallout from cancellation no-
tices. Instead, Health and Hu-
man Services spokeswoman
Joanne Peters released a pre-
pared statement saying: Be-
ginning in October, individu-
als and small businesses will
be able to shop for insurance
in the marketplace, where
we are already seeing that
increased competition and
transparency are leading to a
range of options for quality, af-
fordable plans.
Large employer plans that
cover most workers and their
families are unlikely to be af-
fected.

Plea pending in massacre
T
he Army staff sergeant charged
with slaughtering 16 villagers dur-
ing one of the worst atrocities of the
Afghanistan war has agreed to plead
guilty in a deal to avoid the death pen-
alty, his attorney told The Associated
Press on Wednesday.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales is scheduled
to enter guilty pleas to charges of
premeditated murder June 5 at Joint
Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle,
said lawyer John Henry Browne. A
sentencing-phase trial set for Sep-
tember will determine whether he is
sentenced to life in prison with or life
without the possibility of parole. The
judge and commanding general must
approve a plea deal.

Chafee plans party switch
Independent Rhode Island Gov.
Lincoln Chafee is joining the Demo-
cratic Party ahead of his 2014 bid for
a second term, his spokeswoman said
Wednesday, conrming a move that
Chafee has been talking about for
months as a way to better position
himself for re-election.
Chafee would not immediately
address his party switch when asked
about it Wednesday after he exited a
ferry from Block Island to the main-
land, saying only that he would be an-
nounce his decision at his local board
of canvassers this morning.
The governor, a former Republican
senator, became a political indepen-
dent in 2007, the year after he lost
re-election to the U.S. Senate.
CHICAGO
Study: Stop infections via ICU
Infections in U.S. hospitals kill tens
of thousands of people each year, and
many institutions ght back by screen-
ing new patients to see if they carry a
dangerous germ, and isolating those
who do. But a big study suggests a far
more effective approach: Decontami-
nating every patient in intensive care.
Washing everyone with antiseptic
wipes and giving them antibiotic nose
ointment reduced bloodstream infec-
tions dramatically in the study at more
than 40 U.S. hospitals.
The practice could prove controver-
sial, because it would involve even un-
infected patients and because experts
say it could lead to germs becoming
more resistant to antibiotics. But it
worked better than screening meth-
ods, now required in nine states.
BEIRUT
Assad eyeing 2014 election
Syrias foreign minister laid out a
hard line Wednesday, insisting that
Bashar Assad will remain Syrias presi-
dent at least until elections in 2014 and
might run for another term, conditions
that will make it difcult for Syrias
opposition to agree to U.N.-sponsored
talks on ending Syrias civil war.
Any deal reached in such talks
would have to be put to a referendum,
Walid al-Moallem said in a TV inter-
view, introducing a new condition that
could complicate efforts by the U.S.
and Russia to bring the two sides to-
gether at an international conference
in Geneva, possibly next month.
The comments by al-Moallem, a
regime stalwart with decades in top
positions, reected a new condence

Railways
unsafe?
Dont be
so sure
OMAHA, Neb. The na-
tions railroads are safer than
ever, despite recent high-prole
accidents such as this weeks -
ery derailment in Maryland.
Derailments and crossing ac-
cidents have steadily declined
nationwide even as businesses
have come to increasingly rely
on trains to move their raw ma-
terials and products.
The number of train acci-
dents fell 43 percent to 1,712
between 2003 and last year,
while the number of incidents
at rail crossings dropped 34 per-
cent to 1,960.
And the total number of
deaths declined 19 percent to
705 over the decade.
Railroads have been investing
in their equipment and track,
their employee training and in
technological tools to help de-
tect problems before they can
derail a train. Fewer derailments
means fewer delayed deliveries
and less need for railroads to re-
route trafc for hours or even
days. That all helps the indus-
trys bottom line.
Theres a strong incentive in
the industry to maintain and in-
vest in infrastructure, said Al-
lan Zarembski, an industry vet-
eran who nowleads the railroad
engineering and safety program
at the University of Delaware.
Last year was the safest year
on record for the railroad indus-
try, said Federal Railroad Ad-
ministration spokesman War-
ren Flatau.
That might surprise anyone
who sawthe video of a smolder-
ing CSX train after a chemical-
fueled explosion near Baltimore
Tuesday. Early indications are
that the train struck a truck at
a private crossing before the de-
railment.
The Maryland accident
comes on the heels of the de-
railment of a commuter train
in Bridgeport, Conn., earlier
this month. More than 70 peo-
ple were injured when a sec-
ond train struck the one that
derailed. And last weekend, a
freight train crash in Rockview,
Mo., injured seven people and
destroyed a highway overpass,
which could take a year to re-
pair.
A trust fund should be es-
tablished to ensure the upkeep
and safety of the nations rail
system, U.S. Sen. Richard Blu-
menthal of Connecticut said
Wednesday, labeling the recent
incidents a call to action.
Lack of public trust and con-
dence in safety and reliability
threaten to undermine the en-
tire rail system, Blumenthal
said.
Statistics show train
accidents, fatalities on decline
nationally over past decade.

ST. PAUL, Minn. Michele Bach-
mann, the Minnesota congresswoman
whose sharply conservative views on
social and scal issues elevated her to
a leader of the tea party movement, an-
nounced Wednesday she will not seek
a fth term but insisted the decision
was unrelated to ethics inquiries or her
near-loss last fall.
It was a sudden turn for the foster-
mom-turned-politician. She left the
door open to other, unspecied politi-
cal options.
Bachmann was traveling in Russia as
part of a congressional delegation and
was not available for interviews. In a
lengthy video message to supporters,
she said her decision was not inu-
enced by any concerns about my being
re-elected.
Ron Carey, a former chief of staff to
Bachmann, said he suspects she was
anticipating a tough battle ahead and
seemed to be stuck in place in Con-
gress.
This is a great chance to exit stage
right rather than have a knockdown,
drag-out re-election ght, said Carey,
also a former state GOP chairman.
The reality also set in that she is not
a favorite of Republican leadership, so
she is not going to be rising up to a
committee chair or rising up in leader-
ship.
Her departure next year is part of a
larger shift involving the leading per-
sonalities of the tea party. Stalwarts like
former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former
Rep. Allen West of Florida and former
South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint have
left elected ofce to move into conser-
vative organizations and commentary
roles.
Rep. Bachmann: Im not returning
The tea party favorite is not seeking
re-election to fth term.

Weather Service is upgrading computers
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
When forecasters from
the National Weather Ser-
vice track a hurricane, they
use models from several
different supercomputers
located around the world to
create their predictions.
Some of those models are
more accurate than others.
During Hurricane Sandy last
October, for instance, the
model from the European
Center for Medium-range
Weather Forecasting in the
United Kingdom predicted
eight days before landfall
that the large storm would
hit the East Coast, while the
American supercomputer
model showed Sandy drift-
ing out to sea.
The American model
eventually predicted Sandys
landfall four days before the
storm hit plenty of time
for preparation but re-
vealed a potential weakness
in the American computer
compared to the European
system. It left some meteo-
rologists fuming.
Let me be blunt: The
state of operational U.S. nu-
merical weather prediction
is an embarrassment to the
nation and it does not have
to be this way, wrote Cliff
Maas, a professor of atmo-
spheric sciences at the Uni-
versity of Washington on his
weather blog.
Meteorologists agree that
the two American supercom-
puters that provide storm
models are underpowered
which is why the Nation-
al Weather Service plans on
upgrading those computers
in the next two years. The
two main forecasting com-
puters one in Orlando,
Fla. and the other in Reston,
Va., will receive $25 mil-
lion in upgrades as part of
the Hurricane Sandy supple-
mental bill that was recently
approved by Congress.

project needed to better
protect public from storms.

reported the following:
Property was stolen dur-
ing a burglary of an apartment
in the 400 block of East Broad
Street on Tuesday.
Police said a vehicle fre is
under investigation in the area
of West Fourth and North Sher-
man Court early Wednesday
morning.
Police said they are search-
ing for a white Pomeranian dog
that bit a 12-year-old girl in the
area of 70 S. Locust St. at about
12:55 a.m. Tuesday. The girl was
bitten on her lower lip and treat-
ed at Hazleton General Hospital.
Joel Santiago and Miguel
Nieves reported Tuesday that
an unknown person burglarized
their apartment in the 200 block
of West Fern Street.

This is my third year with
the Day of Caring, she said.
And it makes me feel better
each year. If everyone gave eight
hours of their time to volunteer,
it would make a big difference in
the community.
Parks get helping hand
At the River Common Park
along River Street, volunteers
from Sallie Mae, Mondelez In-
ternational and Pennsylvania
American Water Co. were busy
picking up litter and pulling
weeds. Bill Konsavage, Tarynne
Wolfe and Brian Stubbs agreed
that their efforts and that of the
other volunteers really made a
difference in the community.
I was surprised when I heard
how many people were volun-
teering, Konsavage said.
Wolfe, who has participated
in the event for nine years,
said she felt good to be part
of something that has so much
meaning.
Elizabeth Shafer of Pennsyl-
vania American Water is a 17-
year veteran of Day of Caring.
She and 34 co-workers were
enjoying the sunshine and the
satisfaction of helping others.
Its important to give back to
the community, she said.
John Maday, of the Greater
Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Com-
merce and a member of the
Riverfront Parks Committee,
said the cleanup efforts on both
sides of the Susquehanna River
were needed as RiverFest 2013
approaches. The event is sched-
uled for June 21-23.
Michael Zimmerman, execu-
tive director at Family Service
Association of Wyoming Valley,
said the work being done by vol-
unteers may not be possible if it
had to come out of his budget.
This event helps so many
agencies that help many people.
It may seem like a little thing,
but it all adds up to a lot, he
said.
At the breakfast, ve awards
were presented: United Way

heart and faithfully cared for fam-
ily and friends through delicious
cooking and baking from scratch.
She is most well-known for her
homemade, delicious, one-of-a-

created. There simply was not a

best around.

ing and watching over those she

United Way President and CEO William Jones addresses the volunteers gathered at a breakfast
held Wednesday at the Woodlands Inn and Resort in Plains Township.
CARING
WILKES-BARRE The parents of Kev-
in Miller, the 5-year-old struck and killed
by a vehicle Dec. 21, 2012, have led a
civil lawsuit against the man charged in
the hit-and-run case and the mans father.
Stephen and Caroline Miller, of Orchard
Lane, Dallas, led the suit against Thomas
W. Letteer Jr. and his father, Thomas W.
Letteer Sr., both of Mack Street, Plains
Township, on Wednesday in Luzerne
County Court of Common Pleas.
As administer of her sons estate, Caro-
line Miller is demanding compensatory
and punitive damages in excess of $50,000
and all other relief the court nds just and
proper in each count of the seven-count
lawsuit.
Letteer was arrested on April 11 and
charged with one count of accidents in-
volving death. He is free on $200,000 bail.
The lawsuit alleges that Letteer Jr.,
while recklessly driving his fathers 1999
Pontiac Grand Am east on North Street in
Wilkes-Barre at about 10:50 p.m. on Dec.
21 in the area of 47 W. North St., struck
and killed Kevin Miller while he was law-
fully and properly crossing North Street at
an intersection with his father.
The lawsuit states the impact propelled
Miller onto the hood/front bumper of the
Grand Am and caused him to be thrown,
pushed and/or dragged a substantial dis-
tance.
Letteer Jr. struck Kevin Francis Miller
with such force that Kevin Miller was
pulled from his fathers grasp and knocked
out of his shoes, the lawsuit states.
The suit goes on to allege that Letteer
Jr. failed to stop and knowingly ed the
scene of a collision.
The lawsuit also alleges Letteer Jr. op-
erated the vehicle with the express and/
or implied consent of his father, and his
father, prior to Dec. 21, had knowledge
or reason to know that Letteer Jr. drove
dangerously, recklessly, unreasonably,
upon public roadways and further drove
after consuming alcoholic beverages to
the point of intoxication.
The lawsuit goes on to allege that Let-
teer Jr. was intoxicated when the Grand
Am struck Kevin Miller and that Letteer
Sr. granted his son his express and/or im-
plied permission to drive the car knowing
or having reason to know his son drove
the car after consuming alcohol to the
point of intoxication and/or knowing or
having reason to know that his son lacked
the capacity to drive safely.
The seven counts include:
Survival action, seeking compensa-
tion for Kevin Millers pain and suffering,
his emotional distress and his nancial
losses.
Wrongful death, seeking compensa-
tion for funeral expenses, expenses of
administration, plaintiffs deprivation and
injury as a result of the loss of support,
society, consortium, companionship, com-
fort, aid, association, care and services of
Kevin Miller, value of loss of services and
household contributions.
Negligent infiction of emotional dis-
tress on Stephen and Caroline Miller, who
witnessed their son being struck.
Negligent infiction of emotional dis-
tress on Stephen and Christopher Miller,
who witnessed their brother being struck.
The parents and their surviving chil-
dren also suffered conditions requiring
professional treatment with physicians,
psychiatrists, psychologists, professionals
and counselors, the lawsuit states.
Negligent entrustment, alleging that
Letteer Sr. negligently entrusted his ve-
hicle to his son without ensuring his son
was capable of safely driving it.
Intentional spoilation of evidence, in
that Letteer Jr. allegedly ed the scene,
depriving investigators the opportunity
to conduct a thorough forensic investiga-
tion of the vehicle. The count asks for the
assessment of punitive damages based on
spoilation of evidence.
Loss of flial consortium, allowing for
compensatory damages.
Each count seeks punitive damages as
well.
Parents of hit-and-run victim le civil suit against Letteers
Suspect and his father sued in death of
Kevin Miller, the 5-year-old struck and
killed by a vehicle on Dec. 21, 2012.

H
oly Redeemer graduate Sarah Warnagiris of Hunlock Creek gets a kiss from her
dad, Bob, outside the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre after commencement on
Wednesday night. It was the schools sixth commencement since the Wilkes-Barre
Catholic high school was renamed. The Class of 2013 includes 157 members.
157 grads about 6 percent
of the class. Not astronomical,
but enough to make one (twin
Louis Jablowski) muse There
must have been something in
the water that year.
The second obvious ques-
tion: How many of you used
your twinship to play tricks on
teachers.
I did, Matt Kotulak said
with a mischievous grin. Re-
ally, what was it? No, I was
just kidding, we never did that
stuff.
Cmon. There are ve sets
of twins and 12 years of edu-
cation thats 120 student-
years. What are the odds no
one pulled a prank?
Well, there was the one time
a teacher was going to give me
detention, and when he asked
my name I said John Jablow-
ski, Louis said with a chuckle.
Did it work?
No, John was in his class, so
the teacher knew him, Louis
added. Turns out the teacher
wasnt really going to send him
to detention, either until af-
ter the lie.
OK, Cornelia and Bethany
Chmil fessed up, sometimes
we would tell teachers we were
the other one. The joke wasnt
that teachers couldnt tell
them apart they are frater-
nal twins who look a lot alike
but are distinguishable. The
joke was in confusing teachers
about which name belonged to
which face.
One more obvious question:
Five sets of twins at the nexus
between forced unity by dint
of family and the free choice
of adulthood; are you planning
to go your separate ways and
prove your independence, or
do you nd yourselves pursu-
ing similar majors at the same
college?
Im going to Wilkes Univer-
sity, Bethany Chmil said, for
pharmacy. Sister Cornelia is
headed to Misericordia Uni-
versity for speech pathology.
Score one for separate ways
then?
University of Pittsburgh for
occupational therapy, Leanne
Tabit said, while brother Ryan
is off to Drexel for bio-medical
engineering. Rival cities in the
same state, different segments
of the medical profession a
psychologist could ll a trea-
tise dissecting that one.
Kings College, undeclared,
Nick Kotulak said. Ditto
brother Matt chimed. Hmmm
does that count as two for
same pursuit?
Kings, for history, Jacob
Kozak said.
Kings, for computer sci-
ence, brother John offered,
creating a decidedly split deci-
sion unless Jacob focuses on
computer history.
And our last set of twins?
Im going to Penn State Uni-
versity, main campus, to study
music, Louis Jablowski said.
Harvard, brother John (to
be precise, its John III) offered
with a straight face, before
cracking a smile. No. Im kid-
ding. Im going to LCCC, gen-
eral studies.
He may be joking, but Har-
vard LCCC sounds like a great
new hybrid school.
Or maybe they are twins who
went their separate ways

TWINS
OXON HILL, Md. She
looks like her sister. She spells
like her sister, tracing the let-
ters on her palm as she calls out
the letters. Her goal is become
the back half of the rst set of
sibling champions in National
Spelling Bee history.
Eleven-year-old Vanya
Shivashankar of Olathe, Kan.,
qualied Wednesday for the
seminals of the 86th Scripps
National Spelling Bee. She
handled intaglio and horolo-
gium with no problem.
My sisters more like a
bubbly person, said Vanyas
sister, 2009 champion Kavya
Shivashankar. You can see that
onstage, that shes really excit-
ed to be there. I think I felt the
same way, but it just showed dif-
ferently.
Forty-two of the 281 spellers
advanced, having tallied the
most points in a formula that
combined Wednesdays on-
stage rounds with a computer
test that included a section on
vocabulary for the rst time.
Ofcials originally announced
41 seminalists, but added one
more after a review of the writ-
ten test. The seminals are this
afternoon, with the nals set
for tonight. The winner gets
$30,000 in cash and prizes and
a huge trophy.
Making the cut are several
returning favorites, including a
speller with a sibling story simi-
lar to the Shivashankars. Thir-
teen-year-old Arvind Mahankali
of New York, who nished third
each of the last two years, is get-
ting eager support from 9-year-
old brother Srinath.
Two years ago, Arvind hilari-
ously mispronounced Jugend-
stil as You could steal and
saluted the crowd after he mis-
spelled the word. Nowhes more
bit more low-key and appears
unfazed by anything, while Sri-
nath talks up a storm and play-
fully bragged he will need only
one year to win the title once he
makes the national bee.
Eighteen spellers at this
years bee have at least one rela-
tive who has competed previ-
ously. Vanya, who tied for 10th
last year, isnt the only one with
a chance to make sibling history
this year: 13-year-old Ashwin
Veeramani of North Royalton,
Ohio, is the brother of 2010 win-
ner Anamika Veeramani.
A win by Vanya, Arvind or
Ashwin would continue the re-
cent tradition of Indian-Amer-
ican winners. There have been
ve in a row and 10 of 14, a run
that started in 1999 when Nu-
pur Lala captured the title in
1999 and was later featured in
the documentary Spellbound.

EDITORIAL
US immigration policy
a long-term disaster
T
here is no doubt that the United States
is heading in a downward spiral and it
has been steadily heading in that direc-
tion since the Immigration and National-
ity Act of 1965. The downward spiral
was further hastened by the Immigration
Reform and Control Act of 1986.
Currently, there are traitorous Senators
in Washington trying to pass an amnesty
bill for the more than 11 million illegal
immigrants living in this country. Some
Republicans say we need to pass this
amnesty so that the GOP can win over
the ever-increasing Hispanic vote. They
are basically saying that we must aban-
don our principles, and essentially let the
United States turn into a Third World
country with the false hope that the ma-
jority of Hispanics will vote Republican.
Its a shame that these politicians care
more about votes than the future of their
country.
Securing the borders and deporting ille-
gal immigrants should be the top priority
of any true pro-American politician. If we
solve this problem, other problems in this
country will be easier to solve. The failing
economy and violent crime will be less of
a burden when we successfully stop the
invasion.

Candidate gratied
voters heard message
I
would like to thank the Democratic vot-
ers of Wright Township who voted for
me in the recent May 21 primary election.
While I did not obtain a majority vote,
their endorsement means my message
was received and given thoughtful con-
sideration. Good government depends on
critical interaction between citizens and
elected ofcials. And so I urge all voting
residents of Wright Township to continue
their interest and awareness in the town-
ships government.

Hilly streets of Nanticoke
are becoming a hazard
H
ow many accidents will have to occur
on Kosciuszko Street in Nanticoke
before someone tries to control the speed
of the cars?
The cars race over the hill from the
direction of East Main Street and are al-
most airborne leaving no room for exiting
from Lexington Village.
People pay no attention to the direc-
tional lines on the street allowing resi-
dents to enter Lexington Village. I am not
sure that a sign warning of the driveway
will help and I am not sure we can blame
all of this on the students as has been
done before.
Would it be facetious of me to suggest
a blinking light at the hill or maybe more
police presence?

Positive developments
in the city of Pittston
T
here are many examples of positive fac-
tors that tell the story of the quality of
life of the Pocono-Northeast, but perhaps
no better example is that of Pittston and
the Pittston Memorial Library.
The downtown revitalization of Main
Street which is the commercial corri-
dor of the City of Pittston has changed
dramatically over the last few years, and
many other development opportunities
are opening up through the highly com-
mitted leaders of this community that
represents one of the seven cities found
across the Northeastern Pennsylvania
region. In fact, what has transpired in the
city is a wonderful example that can serve
as a model for other communities of its
size, not only in this region, but the entire
commonwealth.
Along side this fantastic voyage is the
role that is being played by the Pittston
Memorial Library. The downturning
of the national economy caused many
questions to be asked about the future of
libraries, and together with the electronic
boom that has occurred throughout the
nation, there was much speculation about
what that would do to the traditional role
of libraries. So it was that the Board of
Trustees of the Pittston Library and the
many people associated with protecting
the librarys capacity went through the
heart of the national recessions and the
years following, seeking to diversity the
many activities that a library serves and
reinventing a role that has shown spec-
tacular growth in recent years. Libraries
such as Pittstons are far more than a col-
lection of books. They have diversied to
add many strengths and assets that assist
youngsters and adults alike. Some exam-
ples include for youngsters after school
snacks and dinners, story time, furry tails
reading program, made scientist club,
craftastic kids club, Lego club, pageturn-
ers book club, and a summer reading
program. For adults, examples include
baked goods book club, internet and
email computer classes, e-reader classes,
crochet club, an intergenerational family
program and taking on the responsibility
of the NEPA Intergenerational Coali-
tion grandparents raising grandchildren
program, Friends of the Library, adult
summer reading, and much more.
In 2012 alone, there were more than
80,000 visits to the Library and more
than 9000 searches on the librarys
computer system for jobs, a role that will
substantially increase in coming months
and years. The library has become a true
community center for the greater Pittston
area, serving eight municipalities sur-
rounding the City.
This monumental statistical advance-
ment is now allied with a new infrastruc-
ture project that will add 5175 square
feet to the Library that will include a
new childrens wing (John P. Cosgrove
Annex), and a community conference
meeting room that will hold 125 people.
A Capital Campaign is underway to
raise at least $1.3 million, of which over
$500,000 currently has been raised. Na-
tive Pittston son John P. Cosgrove had
donated his book and material collection
to the Library, is 94 years old, lives in
Washington, D.C., and has visited the
Library to lend his support and interest to
maintaining his donated collection with a
commitment of $50,000 that has resulted
in one room being set aside in the main
Library to house his collection. Many
community citizens and businesses have
either already contributed to the Capital
Campaign or are being approached to
encourage their support.
Co-chair of the campaign are two
Pittston area leaders Pat Solano and
Tom Tigue. They are well known in
Luzerne County and across the Pocono-
Northeast. They are backed up by a 27
person Campaign Committee who meet
monthly to continue to develop ideas and
thoughts regarding ways to raise funds
and reach the Campaign goal. It is ex-
pected that construction of the addition
will be initiated prior to the end of the
calendar year.
Those interested in learning more
about the role the Library plays and the
campaign can contact the undersigned at
any time at the Library and learn more of
the signicant services and factors that
represent the essence of community ser-
vice that the Pittston Memorial Library
plays.

Gun control opposition
recalls Bunker Hill spirit
I
n April the U.S. Senate turned down
the gun control measure and President
Obama called those senators a bunch of
cowards. The brave men in Congress who
voted down the gun control bill did it for
the memory and in the spirit of those men
who took a stand against King George and
his red coats.
Millions of Americans believe in the
First and Second amendments, the NRA
and others who defend our freedoms. If
you dont like it here, pack your bags, buy
a one-way ticket and leave. We will play
Yankee Doodle Dandy as you disappear
over the horizon.

OUR OPINION: A LIFE MESSAGE
Advice of the aged
to our fresh grads
A
CROSS LUZERNE
County and the country
for that matter, another
class is graduating high
school to the next chapter of life.
We offer some simple advice
gathered through hard-learned
lessons of time.
In other words, this is a parent
talking at you.
1. And on that note, consider
the advice of those parents and
elders. We wished we had lis-
tened to ours. They were right
more often than wrong. That
advice isnt foolproof or a guar-
antee against failure. Everyone
makes mistakes. But in general
wed prefer you not repeat ours
and make your own mistakes.
2 Dont be foolish. Dont break
laws; the consequences are large
and lasting. When youre of age
and you can drink alcohol, dont
drive. Any time at all, dont text
and drive. Dont consume illegal
drugs. If youre going to have
sex, make sure its safe and by
mutual consent and that you un-
derstand the consequences.
3. Dont be afraid. Youve made
it this far. Heck, you survived
high school in the 21st century.
So jump into life. Better to try
and fail than sit and watch. Take
chances; not risks. And when the
challenges seems too big, break
it down. Inch by inch, life is a
cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard.
4. If you dont know the dif-
ference between chance and
risk, gure it out. Use a com-
puter. Open a dictionary. Look
it up.
5. Ask questions. Even with
that diploma, be it from high
school or college, you do not
know it all, even if you think you
do. Curiosity shows you care
and it will take you to new plac-
es. Never stop learning.
6. Words have power so be
careful how you use them. Par-
ticularly in text messaging and
emails. When you nd youve
written an angry email or text,
delete it. If you really are angry,
you can write it a second time.
7. Have conversations. Face-
book isnt face time. Nothing re-
places the signicance, nuance
and satisfaction of human inter-
action. And remember to treat
other people as you would like to
be treated. There are many rea-
sons they call it a Golden Rule.
8. Be concerned. Plan for the
future, anticipate whats next,
show empathy for others.
9. Dont worry. We worry
about too many things that will
never happen.
10. Make lists. It will help you
accomplish the things that must
be accomplished and give you
more time to do the things you
want to do.
11. Try new things. New food.
New routines. New places. New
ideas.
12. Drink water. Get enough
sleep. Exercise. Read books. Al-
ways.
Life is long. You will forever
be chasing the next thing. So
remember to take time from the
chase. Put your phone in a draw-
er. Breathe.
At the same time, life is short.
Before you know it you will be
your parents, or something like
them. That doesnt seem pos-
sible now or palatable ever but
it will happen. So start now. Its
your life. Do something.
MALLARD FILLMORE DOONESBURY
Helmet law needs
to be reversed
P
ENNSYLVANIA law-
makers should reverse
their mind-boggling
2003 decision allowing
motorcyclists to ride without a
helmet.
In 2003, Gov. Ed Rendell le-
galized the measure, allowing
motorcyclists to ride helmet-free
if they are 21 or older and have
two years of experience, or pass
a safety program. Since then, the
number of deaths in motorcycle
crashes has increased 30 per-
cent, according to a Pittsburgh
Tribune-Review analysis. Last
year, 210 people died in motor-
cycle crashes, and only 100 of
them were wearing helmets.
Sen. John Wozniak, D-John-
stown, who introduced the 2003
legislation, maintains against
all logic the law was the right
thing to do.
It was a 15-year battle to let
those that ride decide, he told
the newspaper. It would be just
as agonizing to reverse it.
Thats a poor excuse to justify
dangerous behavior.
Opponents of the state law,
who are calling for its reversal,
rightly stress that this isnt an
issue of personal liberty. When
motorcyclists forgo helmets, it
affects all of us nancially:
Insurance premiums for
Pennsylvania drivers are higher.
Taxpayer dollars go toward
emergency responses inolving
serious injuries which may have
been less serious had motorcy-
clists used helmets.
Taxpayer dollars go toward
investigation of such accidents.
The laws spirit is rooted in
personal liberty. But extend that
logic a little farther, and you can
use it to justify pretty much any-
thing: Lets allow texting while
driving; lets allow people to
forgo seat belts.
Hell, lets allow those strung
out on heroin to get behind the
wheel. Personal liberty above all,
right?
Helmets save lives. Its that
simple. Regulations exist not
only for those operating a motor
vehicle, but for those who have
to share the road with them.
More motorcyclists are dying
now than before this law went
into effect. This law has failed
all Pennsylvanians.

panys existing businesses into
two, separate, publicly traded
entities an education loan
management business and a
consumer banking business
to unlock value and enhance
long-term growth potential.
By separating our current
operations into two businesses,
we will facilitate focus on Sallie
Maes growing consumer bank-
ing business and management
of its education loan portfolios,
Remondi said.
Shareholders stake
The strategic plan will create
two companies, each initially
owned by Sallie Maes existing
shareholders. Sallie Mae would
form an education loan manage-
ment business composed of the
companys portfolios of feder-
ally guaranteed (FFELP) and
private education loans, as well
as most related servicing and
collection activities. Remondi
will continue as its CEO.
Sallie Maes private education
loan origination and servicing
businesses, including Sallie Mae
Bank, the Sallie Mae Upromise
Rewards program and the pri-
vate education loans it currently
holds, will operate separately
under the Sallie Mae brand.
This will be a consumer educa-
tion lending franchise with ex-
pertise in helping families save,
plan and pay for college. Joseph
DePaulo, executive vice presi-
dent, banking and nance, will
lead this business as its CEO.
The company release indicat-
ed that if completed, the sepa-
ration would be effected via a
tax-free distribution of common
stock to Sallie Maes sharehold-
ers. The details of the planned
separation, including the pre-
cise allocation of assets between
the two companies, remain un-
der consideration at this time.
Based on current plans and
Sallie Maes March 31 nancial
information:
The education loan man-
agement business principal
assets are likely to consist of
about $118.1 billion in FFELP
loans, $31.6 billion in private
education loans, $7.9 billion of
other interest-earning assets
and a leading education loan
servicing platform that services
loans for about 10 million fed-
eral education loan customers,
including 4.8 million customer
accounts serviced under the
companys contract with the
U.S. Department of Education.
In aggregate, this company will
own approximately 95 percent
of Sallie Maes existing assets
and remain obligated for the
companys senior indebtedness.
The consumer banking
business assets are likely to
include about $9.9 billion of
total assets composed primar-
ily of private education loans
and related origination and
servicing platforms, cash and
other investments, and the
Sallie Mae Upromise Rewards
program.
The two separate companies
initially will be owned by Sallie
Mae stockholders, but the sepa-
ration of the businesses does
not require a shareholder vote.
The company, which just cel-
ebrated its 40th anniversary,
is still looking to ll close to
100 positions at its Hanover
Township loan servicing center,
Lavoie said.

in front of her house. The driver
of the vehicle left the scene, ac-
cording to police.
Court papers identify John
Kuniskas, 36, of 1072 Westmin-
ster Road, as the driver of a
2005 Ford F350 that allegedly
struck Darsky. Kuniskas could
not be reached for comment
Wednesday, and it was unclear
Wednesday if he had retained
legal counsel.
Kuniskas home is eight-
tenths of a mile from the Darsky
home. Westminster Road runs
from state Route 315 to Jumper
Road, about a three-mile stretch.
The attorneys led a notice
that a lawsuit will be led in the
case, listing Kuniskas, and his
business, Evolving Water Sys-
tems, as defendants, as well as
a man who allegedly sold Kunis-
kas the truck.
The two families did not
know each other, but knowing
who caused the accident is the
rst step on a long road for
Mark Darsky in terms of the
grieving process, Ciarimboli
said. There is some comfort
knowing who the individual is,
but there are still a lot of unan-
swered questions, he said.
Ciarimboli said as an attor-
ney representing Darsky it is his
responsibility to protect each
aspect of the case and gather all
possible information.
Jean Darsky was retrieving a
political ier from her mailbox
when she was struck by a vehi-
cle driven by Kuniskas, accord-
ing to Boylan and Ciarimbolis
ling. The attorneys say Kunis-
kas vehicle is at the state police
barracks in Wyoming.
No charges have been led in
the case. The Luzerne County
District Attorneys Ofce last
week turned over the criminal
case to the state Attorney Gen-
erals Ofce, citing District At-
torney Stefanie Salavantis has
a close personal relationship
with one of the witnesses who
came forward in the case.
The Darsky family attorneys
requested that the Ford truck be
left untouched so that testing
can be conducted, and that the
attorneys be permitted to pho-
tograph, measure and inspect
the truck.
The attorneys also asked to
conduct a search for evidence in
the case before ling an actual
complaint because information
remains unknown.
Ciarimboli said Stephen Doty
of Clarks Summit recently con-
tacted him regarding the ve-
hicle, which was allegedly sold
to Kuniskas in April. Though
records still list Doty as the
owner, Ciarimboli said, it is a
possibility the Pennsylvania De-
partment of Transportation is
behind on updating records.
Darskys attorneys say the
claims in the yet-to-be-led
complaint exceed a seven-gure
monetary amount, and that
Kuniskas can currently sell
his properties and assets, trans-
fer and/or withdraw funds from
his personal and business ac-
counts with knowledge that
(Darsky) has a substantial claim
against the businesses and him-
self, court papers state.
Because of that possibility in
regards to Kuniskas and Doty,
the attorneys asked that both
men be prohibited from selling
assets or any other property.
A hearing has been sched-
uled for July 8 before a county
judge to consider the attorneys
requests.
DRIVER
Mobility, nds that through-
out Pennsylvania:
Thirty seven percent of
major roads and highways pro-
vide motorists with a rough
ride.
About 42 percent of state
bridges showsignicant deteri-
oration or do not meet current
design standards.
The states major urban
roads are becoming increas-
ingly congested, with drivers
wasting increasing amounts of
time and fuel.
Pennsylvanias rural non-
interstate trafc fatality rate
is signicantly higher than the
fatality rate on all other roads
in the state.
The study was commis-
sioned and released by TRIP,
which is a national transporta-
tion research group based in
Washington, D.C., and spon-
sored by highway construction
interests and insurance compa-
nies.
As the General Assembly
looks at a transportation fund-
ing measure, theres a lot of dis-
cussion about the cost, said Ja-
son Wagner, managing director
of the Pennsylvania Highway
Information Association. The
TRIP report quanties the cost
of not addressing this problem,
and that cost is almost three
times greater than the $3.5
billion annual transportation
funding gap. Of even greater
concern is the safety threat
that a decient transportation
system represents, especially
in Pennsylvanias rural areas.
The TRIP report calculated
the cost to motorists of insuf-
cient roads in the states larg-
est urban areas. Data showthat
at $1,320 per driver, this region
actually had the lowest ad-
ditional operating costs, with
Philadelphia, at $1,798, report-
ing the highest.
Report highlights
Other highlights of the 20-
page study include data that
show more people are using
state roadways and those that
are using them spend more
time behind the wheel and put
more miles on their vehicles.
Findings include:
* Vehicle miles of travel in
the state increased 16 percent
from 1990 to 2011 and are ex-
pected to increase another 15
percent by 2030.
* Trafc congestion in the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area
is worsening, causing 20 an-
nual hours of delay for the av-
erage motorist. The average
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre driver
wastes an average of nine gal-
lons of fuel each year due to
congestion. Both of those to-
tals were the lowest of the ve
metro regions included in the
study.
Most of the ndings are not
news to state motorists but
something that each driver
knows and experiences rst-
hand.
Our roads are a mess, said
Donna Palermo, the head of
the Greater Hazleton Chamber
of Commerce.
Traffic and commerce
The report makes it clear
that commuting and com-
merce in Pennsylvania are
constrained by growing trafc
congestion, which will increase
in the future unless additional
highway and transit capacity is
provided.
Tom Lawson, a partner
of the area engineering rm
Borton-Lawson and president
of the Pennsylvania Highway
Information Association, has
been an outspoken advocate
for additional funding for not
only infrastructure upgrades
and repairs but also annual
maintenance to keep future
costs in check.
At a recent forum on the re-
gions economy, Lawson said
some businesses want to locate
in Northeastern Pennsylvania
but are hampered by the infra-
structure.
Site Selection magazines
2010 survey of corporate real es-
tate executives found that trans-
portation infrastructure was the
third most important selection
factor in site location decisions,
behind only work force skills
and state and local taxes.
The cost estimate to add a
third lane on Interstate 81 over
the 30-mile stretch between
Scranton and Hazleton would
be about $1.5 billion to $2 bil-
lion, Lawson said. Funding, or
lack thereof, he said, needs to
be addressed and action needs
to be taken now, not when
costs will be even greater.
He also added that the
amount of freight trafc over
the next 20 years is expected to
explode and as more product
is brought to ports in north-
eastern cities thats only going
to clog Interstates 80, 81 and
380 even more.

tions and agreement between
school and the NCAA to be
deemed unlawful and the penal-
ties overturned, he said.
The suit would also ask for
unspecied damages and court
costs, Sollers said, though the
family would donate any net
proceeds to charity.
The broader goal is to get the
truth out, Sollers said. This
narrative thats in public that
was perpetuated by the NCAAs
adoption of the deeply awed
Freeh report cannot stand.
Freeh accused Paterno and
three former university ofcials
of concealing allegations against
Sandusky, a retired defensive
coordinator. Sandusky was
sentenced to at least 30 years
in prison after being convicted
last year of dozens of criminal
counts of abuse, including alle-
gations on and off campus.
Paterno died in January
2012. His family and the former
school ofcials have vehement-
ly denied they took part in a
cover-up.
The suit is designed to re-
dress the NCAAs 100 percent
adoption of the Freeh Report.
The reality is that consent
decree was imposed through
coercion and threats behind the
scenes and there was no abil-
ity for anyone to get redress,
Sollers told Costas.
There was no board approv-
al, there was no transparency,
and there was no consideration
of this consent decree.
The NCAA said Wednesday it
had not received any such law-
suit and could not comment.
Despite our request, the Pa-
terno family has not shared any
information about its planned
legal action, chief legal ofcer
Donald Remy said in a state-
ment. We remain committed to
working with Penn State toward
the continued successful com-
pletion of our voluntary agree-
ment with the university and to
working with the NCAAs inde-
pendent monitor, former U.S.
Sen. George Mitchell.
Penn State spokesman Dave
La Torre said the school itself
was not a party to any litiga-
tion that might be led by the
Paterno family and remained
committed to full compliance
to the sanctions.

But since graduation day for
Holy Redeemer began with the
start of the PIAA Class 2A boys
volleyball playoffs, Leahigh made
12 kills, Morrison had nine kills
and five blocks and Myslowski
made 22 assists as the Royals
rolled past Schuylkill Valley, 27-
25, 25-14, 25-17 at Dallas High
School.
And they practiced this
(Wednesday) morning for gradu-
ation, Holy Redeemer coach
Jack Kablick said, noting that
his senior players headed for the
7 p.m. graduation ceremonies at
Redeemer right after completing
a state volleyball match that be-
gan at 3:30 p.m. The spacing was
fair. We had 3 1/2 hours between
the the match (and graduation).

Wyoming Seminarys Tali Dressler
looks to pass the ball during PIAA
girls lacrosse first round game
against Lewisburg at Ralston field
Wednesday.
Seminary
seniors get
special win
Blue Knights score first victory in
PIAA playoffs, defeating Lewisburg.
By DAVE ROSENGRANT
drosengrant@timesleader.com
EDWARDSVILLE For three
straight years Wyoming Seminarys
girls lacrosse team advanced to the
PIAA Championships only to fall in the
first round the previous two.
The six seniors, who graduated just
last weekend, final-
ly got the win they
were looking for on
Wednesday at Wilkes
Universitys Schmidt
Stadium. The Blue
Knights scored twice
in the games first six
minutes and never looked back defeat-
ing Lewisburg 13-3.
I think its actually really special be-
cause most of us (seniors) have been
together since our freshman year and
weve all just graduated together this
past weekend, senior Kristen Mericle
said. So its really special that we get to
stay together past graduation because
a lot of them are boarders so we get to
stay together and keep playing. And all
of our hard work is paying off.
Seminary (13-6) advances to Satur-
days quarterfinal round where it will
face either District 1 No. 4 seed Boyer-
town or District 3 champion Manheim
Township at a site and time to be deter-
mined. That first-round game was held
Wednesday night and the result was not
available at press time.
Mericle tallied three goals and two as-
sists to pace the Blue Knights attack.
Both assists and two of her goals came
in the first half as her team opened up
an 8-0 lead at halftime.
The Blue Knights got to the big lead
by winning nearly every draw in the
first 25 minutes of play as Mericle was a
big part of that.

Demko

Cougars
By JOHN ERZAR
jerzar@timesleader.com
EDWARDSVILLE The
pitching duel that was expected
Wednesday Hazleton Areas
Becky Demko vs. Williamsports
Alexis Bower took an odd
turn in the
seventh in-
ning.
It became
batter vs.
pitcher, and
Demko won.
D e m k o
scored Mikaela Browdy with a
sacrifice fly for the games only
run as Hazleton Area edged Wil-
liamsport 1-0 in the District 2-4
Class 4A softball championship
game at Wilkes University.
Hazleton Area (16-1) moves to
the state tournament, playing on
Monday at a District 2 site. The
Cougars will play the District 3
runner-up, either Central Dau-
phin (17-6) or Daniel Boone (18-
6). Those teams play today.
Williamsport ended its season
at 18-3.
The Cougars were well aware
of who they were facing in Bow-
er, a St. Francis recruit who was
the states Class 4A Player of the
Year in 2012. They cranked up
the pitching machine to 70 mph
in practice to simulate Bower,
owner of four no-hitters this sea-
son.
The strategy, said Hazleton
Area coach Vince Trivelpiece,
was to get someone on base and
Becky Demkos pitching,
sacrifice fly carry Hazleton
Area past Williamsport.

LONG POND Danica Patrick doesnt
mind being one of the guys. Shes also
fine with being the only female driver in
a sport dominated by men throughout its
history.
I dont think Ive ever said specifically
I want to be judged as a driver and not a
girl driver, Patrick said Wednesday morn-
ing during a break in NASCAR Sprint
Cup testing at Pocono Raceway. People
have asked me how I want people to think
about me or remember me when Im
done. Ive said I want to be remembered
as a very good driver and not a good girl
driver. Although that could be part of it.
The paradox fits in nicely with her Stew-

Phillip Sammuelsson goes down to block a shot against the Syracuse Crunch Wednesday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in
Wilkes-Barre Township.
WILKES-BARRE TWP.
During Wednesdays Game
3 of the Eastern
Conference finals,
the Wilkes-Barre/
Scranton Pen-
guins and Syra-
cuse Crunch were
a combined 0-for-9
on the power play.
Not surprisingly, both
teams combined for only two
goals both by the Crunch,
as they beat the Penguins 2-0
to take a 2-1 series lead.
For the Penguins, who
were 0-for-5 on the power
play, the lack of production
with the man-advantage was
the difference.
Coming in, the Penguins
had converted at least once
on the power play
in the last six
games and failed
to score with the
man advantage
in only one out of
the last 12 post-
season contests.
The power play didnt go
in, said head coach John

power play en route to a

Fresh into his first AHL game
with the game on the line,
2012 first round pick Olli
Maatta whipped a wrist shot
on net with hopes of erasing
the Syracuses Crunch 1-0
lead late in the third period.
At the last second, Crunch
goaltender Cedrick Desjar-
dins snared the shot with his
glove to keep the Penguins,
and Maatta, off the score-
board.
Being on the ice late in a
1-0 AHL playoff game seems
like an odd place for an
18-year-old. But for Maatta,
who just played 21 postsea-
son games in the OHL play-
offs, the chance to tie was
bittersweet.
I tried to get it on net,
thought I had him at first but
it was a nice save, he said.
Sometimes it goes in, some-
times it doesnt.

Barre on Tuesday and played

prospect didnt look out of

May 30
1894 Bostons Robert Lowe became the frst
player in Major League history to hit four home
runs in a game, leading the Beaneaters to a 20-
11 win over Cincinnati. After hitting four straight
homers, all line drives far over the fence, Lowe
added a single to set a major league record with
17 total bases.
1922 Between the morning and afternoon
games of a Memorial Day twin bill, Max Flack of
the Chicago Cubs was traded to the St. Louis Car-
dinals for Cliff Heathcote. They played one game
for each team.
1927 In the fourth inning of a game against the
Pittsburgh Pirates, shortstop Jim Cooney of the
Chicago Cubs caught Paul Waners liner, stepped
on second to double Lloyd Waner and then tagged
Clyde Barnhart coming from frst for an unassisted
triple play.
1935 Babe Ruth made his last major league
appearance. He played one inning for the Boston
Braves against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jim Bivin
retired Babe Ruth on an infeld grounder in the
Babes fnal major league at-bat.
1940 Carl Hubbell of the NewYork Giants threw
87 pitches in a 7-0 one-hitter against the Brooklyn
Dodgers. He faced the minimum 27 batters. John-
ny Hudson, who singled, was caught stealing.
1956 - Mickey Mantle hit a home run which came
within a foot-and-a-half of leaving Yankee Stadi-
um. It hit the face of the upper deck in right feld,
370 feet from home plate and 117 feet in the air.
Mantle became the frst player to hit 20 home runs
by the end of May as the Yankees beat the Wash-
ington Senators 4-3.
1961 Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Bill
Skowron each hit two homers to lead the New
York Yankees to a 12-3 rout of the Boston Red
Sox. Yogi Berra also added a homer.
1962 Pedro Ramos of the Cleveland Indians
tossed a three-hitter and hit two home runs, in-
cluding a grand slam, for a 7-0 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles.
1977 Clevelands Dennis Eckersley pitched a
1-0 no-hitter against the California Angels.
1982 Baltimores Cal Ripken Jr. began his re-
cord consecutive games streak by starting at third
base against the Toronto Blue Jays.
1987 Eric Davis hit a grand slam in the third
inning, breaking two National League records and
leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-2 victory over
the Pittsburgh Pirates. Davis became the frst NL
player to hit three grand slams in a month and his
major league leading 19 homers broke the NL re-
cord for most homers in April and May.
1992 Scott Sanderson became the ninth pitch-
er to beat all 26 major league teams as New York
defeated Milwaukee 8-1. Sanderson joined Nolan
Ryan, Tommy John, Don Sutton, Mike Torrez, Rick
Wise, Gaylord Perry, Doyle Alexander and Rich
Gossage as those who have defeated every club.
2001 Barry Bonds hit two home runs, moving
past Willie McCovey and Ted Williams into 11th
place on the career list with 522. Bonds with 17
home runs in May, surpassed the mark set by
Mark McGwire in 1998 and Mickey Mantle in 1956.
2003 Ken Griffey Jr. hit a game-tying home run
in the ninth and a go-ahead homer in the top of the
11th to lead Cincinnati over Florida 4-3.
2009 Travis Tucker hit an RBI single with one
out in the top of the 25th inning, leading Texas to
a 3-2 victory over Boston College in the longest
game in NCAA history. The game eclipsed the
previous record of 23 innings, set in 1971 when
Louisiana-Lafayette defeated McNeese State 6-5.
2010 Albert Pujols hit three long home runs to
lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-1 win over the
Chicago Cubs. Pujols homered in the frst, ffth
and ninth innings for his fourth career three-homer
game.
2011 Jo-Jo Reyes won for the frst time in 29
starts by throwing his frst career complete game
to lead Toronto to an 11-1 rout of Cleveland.
Reyes avoided becoming the frst pitcher to go
winless in 29 starts. Oaklands Matt Keough went
28 starts between wins in 1978 and 1979, match-
ing the dubious mark frst set by Bostons Cliff Cur-
tis in 1910 and 1911.

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Kendrick delivers a
pitch to the plate against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday in
Philadelphia.
Brown homers twice,
slugs Phils over Sox
PHILADELPHIA Do-
monic Brown hit a pair of
homers, Erik Kratz and Ryan
Howard also had solo shots to
back Kyle Kendrick and the
Philadelphia Phillies beat the
Boston Red Sox 4-3 Wednesday
night.
Kendrick (5-3) allowed two
runs and four hits in six in-
nings, helping the Phillies win
their second straight against
the Red Sox to get within one
game of .500.
Antonio Bastardo pitched
the seventh, Mike Adams
struck out two in a perfect
eighth and Jonathan Papelbon
finished for his 11th save in 11
tries, including second in two
nights against his old team.
Papelbon allowed an RBI
single to Jacoby Ellsbury, snap-
ping his scoreless string at 19
1-3 innings. But with runners
on second and third, he retired
Daniel Nava on a grounder to
first to end it.
Mets 9, Yankees 4
NEW YORK Challenged
by fed-up manager Terry
Collins, slumping infielders
Ike Davis and Ruben Tejada
sparked a five-run first inning
that kept the New York Mets
sailing along in this surprising
Subway Series with a victory
over the Yankees.
Tejada hit a leadoff single,
Davis drove in two runs and
the Mets won with Jeremy He-
fner (1-5) on the mound for the
first time all season. Theyve
taken three in a row from their
crosstown rivals for their first
four-game winning streak of
the year and will go for a Big
Apple whitewash in the series
finale at Yankee Stadium on
Thursday night.
Cubs 9, White Sox 3
CHICAGO Dioner Na-
varro hit three home runs in a
game for the first time in his
career, connecting from both
sides of the plate at Wrigley
Field and leading the Chicago
Cubs over the White Sox.
Navarro had never homered
more than once in a game, but
he sure had his swing going
while driving in a career-high
six runs and scoring four
times. He became the first
Cubs player to hit three hom-
ers in a game since Aramis
Ramirez against Houston on
July 20, 2010, at Wrigley and
their first catcher to do it since
George Mitterwald on April 17,
1974, against Pittsburgh.
Rays 3, Marlins 1
MIAMI Roberto Hernan-
dez bounced back from two
rough outings and pitched 8
2-3 innings, leading the Tampa
Bay Rays over Miami and send-
ing the Marlins to their season-
worst eighth straight loss.
Kelly Johnson and Yunel
Escobar each drove in a run as
the Rays won their fourth in
row.
Pirates 4, Tigers 3
PITTSBURGH Pedro Al-
varezs two-run double sparked
a seventh-inning rally and the
Pittsburgh Pirates beat the
Detroit Tigers.
Travis Snider added an RBI
double and Jordy Mercer laid
down a perfect suicide squeeze
as the Pirates erupted late
against Anibal Sanchez (5-5)
and scored four times.
Miguel Cabrera hit his
15th homer of the season for
Detroit and Andy Dirks had an
RBI double, but that couldnt
prevent the Tigers from falling
to Pittsburgh for the second
straight night.
Bryan Morris (2-2) picked up
the win in relief of A.J. Burnett.
Jason Grilli pitched the ninth
for his major league-leading
22nd save.
Sanchez cruised through the
first six innings, surrendering
only a solo home run to Neil
Walker. Things unraveled in
the seventh as the Pirates bat-
ted around.
Indians 5, Reds 2
CLEVELAND Justin
Masterson pitched six solid in-
nings, Jason Giambi and Mark
Reynolds homered, and the
Cleveland Indians broke a five-
game losing streak with a win
over the Cincinnati Reds.
Masterson (8-3) worked out
of a bases-loaded jam with
nobody out in the sixth to
preserve a 2-1 lead. Cincinnatis
only run off the right-hander
came on Joey Vottos two-out
homer in the first.
Orioles 9, Nationals 6
BALTIMORE Chris Davis
went 4 for 4 with two home
runs, and the Baltimore Ori-
oles overcame three homers by
Ryan Zimmerman to beat the
Washington Nationals.
In a wild game before 39,129
fans, each team slugged four
home runs and the Orioles
rallied from a four-run deficit
against one of the best pitchers
in the game.
Zimmerman hit solo homers
in the first and fourth innings
before adding a two-run drive
in the fifth, all off Chris Till-
man. With a chance to tie the
major-league record of four
homers in a game, Zimmer-
man came to the plate in the
seventh against Steve Johnson
and looked at a third strike.
Blue Jays 3, Braves 0
ATLANTA Melky Cabrera
had three hits, including a two-
run single, and four Toronto
pitchers combined on a four-
hitter to lead the Blue Jays past
the Atlanta Braves.
Last-place Toronto went with
a pitcher-by-committee ap-
proach to fill a hole in the rota-
tion. Esmil Rogers lasted 3 1-3
innings in his first start since
2011, and two pitchers just up
from the minors shut down the
Braves. Juan Perez (1-0) went
2 2-3 innings and Neil Wagner
got through the seventh and
eighth before Casey Janssen
earned his 11th save.
Twins 4,
Brewers 1
MINNEAPOLIS Aaron
Hicks homered again and made
another run-saving catch for
Minnesota, helping Samuel
Deduno and the Twins beat the
Milwaukee Brewers.
Deduno (1-1) pitched into
the eighth inning, the longest
start for a Twins pitcher in
more than a month, and gave
up four hits and one run. He
beat Marco Estrada (4-3), who
was done in by a three-run first
as the Brewers lost their fifth
straight game.
Cardinals 5,
Royals 3
ST. LOUIS Pinch hitter
Daniel Descalso hit a two-run
single with the bases loaded to
snap an eighth-inning tie and
the St. Louis Cardinals rallied
past the Kansas City Royals
with a victory.

then do everything possible
to score, whether that meant
pinch runners, sacrifice bunts,
whatever.
We said were going to throw
the kitchen sink (at them) first
opportunity, Trivelpiece said.
The plan fell short several
times until the top of the sev-
enth.
Browdy led off with a single
to left. MacKenzie Yori bunted
Browdy to second and a wild
pitch sent her to third. Demko
then lifted a flyball to right field
and Browdy scored easily.
I was just thinking hit what-
ever, just score the run, Demko
said.
Demko retired Williamsport
in order in the bottom of the
seventh, but the sixth inning
was stressful. A single, double
and intentional walk loaded
the bases with one out. Demko
then uncorked a wild pitch, but
catcher Justine Rossi rifled the
ball to her at home plate and
she tagged out Kiatlyn Caringi
trying to score.
That was really close. I dont
know, said Demko, whose ex-
pression indicated she might
have been a tad surprised by the
umpires call.
That was a rise (pitch) and it
rose. But it worked and got her
out.
Demko was on the mark,
though. She struck out nine and
retired 14 of 15 at one point.
She surrendered just four hits.
We have Becky and they
dont, Trivelpiece said. But
what they have is pretty damn
good.
Williamsport also had the
bases loaded in the first inning
with one out and didnt score.
But like all season, Bowers
pitching kept the Millionaires
in the game. The young bats,
though, faltered.
We got a lot out of a senior
pitcher and a bunch of under-
classmen this year, Williams-
port coach Quint Bower said.
I pulled Alexis aside this week
and told her one player cant
win or lose ballgames. We need
players to step up. We talked
last night a little bit about it.
One player isnt going to win or
lose a ballgame.

RailRiders
silenced
by Arrieta
The Times Leader staff
NORFOLK, Va. A night af-
ter piling up double-digit hits
and reaching eight runs for the
second straight game, the Rail-
Riders only managed three hits
and two runs on Wednesday
night at Harbor Park falling to
Norfolk, 5-2.
Kelvin Perez got the start and
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was in
an early hole as
the Tides put
up one in the
first and two
more in the sec-
ond to open a
3-0 lead. Buck
Britton started
the scoring
with a single to
plate the first
run in the top
of the first in-
ning. Trayvon
Robinson and
Jason Pridie
each tallied an
RBI-double in the second.
The RailRiders, meanwhile
couldnt get anything going
against Tides pitcher Jake Arrie-
ta, who only allowed a two-out
single to Corban Joseph in the
third. Arrieta also walked two
both to Dan Johnson in five
innings of work to improve to
3-2.
After Zelous Wheeler scored
on a passed ball in the sixth to
put Norfolk ahead 4-0, the Rail-
Riders got something going in
the top of the eighth off Tides
pitcher and former SWB Yan-
kee Manny Delcarmen with
two outs. Joseph singled and
Thomas Neal and Zoilo Almonte
followed with walks to load the
bases. Ronnier Mustelier singled
to score Joseph and Neal to trim
the deficit to 4-2. The threat
came to an end when Johnson
flied out.
Perez lasted just 4 2/3 innings
allowing three runs on eight hits.
Dellin Betances made his third
relief appearance since moving
to the bullpen for the RailRiders.
He lasted 2 1/3 innings fanning
three, but didnt walk any. But he
did give up one run on two hits
and uncorked a wild pitch.

JASON REIDMILLER/FOR THE TIMES LEADER
Berwicks Taylor Kern hits a single in the second inning against Valley View Wednesday after-
noon.
Valley View stymies Berwick
By TOMFOX
For The Times Leader
DUNMORE Anna McElroy
watched Courtney Hummel
drift back toward the fence in
left field and snag a ball in her
glove right at the base.
McElroy, Valley Views senior
catcher, just shook her head and
trotted back to the dugout in the
fourth frame.
Three innings prior, the result
was much different.
The senior jumped all over a
Margaret Bridge change-up, and
crushed a two-out, game-win-
ning home run in the bottom of
the first, and the Lady Cougars
rode Gina Chieffallos four-hitter
en route to a 2-0 victory over Ber-
wick at Marywood University.
The victory is Valley Views
fourth straight District 2 Class
3A softball championship. The
Lady Cougars, which reached the
PIAA Class 3A state champion-
ship last season, have outscored
its three district opponents by a
margin of 16-1.
We work really hard all year
round, and Im so happy for our
seniors, Valley View head coach
E.J. Weston said. Two of them
have been with me since they
were freshmen. Its a great honor
for them. They deserve it. Hon-
estly, I didnt know what to ex-
pect coming into this one. Bridge
pitched extremely well. Both
teams had to fight through the
heat. Gina pitched well, and as
usual, Anna came through with
the big hit, the two-run dinger.
One swing.
That was the difference be-
tween the title and a season-
ender.
Both Bridge and Chieffallo
were sensational in the circle,
tossing complete-game four-hit-
ters. Chieffallo punched out 10,
while Bridge sent five back to
the dugout.
One pitch.
That pitch was on me, actu-
ally, Berwick head coach Brian
Bridge said. I called that pitch,
and it was the wrong one to call.
Unfortunately, it was a change-
up across the plate, and she hit
it. Shes a good hitter, and thats
why we called that pitch. We
wanted to try to get her off-bal-
ance a little bit, and it got up in
the zone and she did what you
are supposed to do with it.
McElroy didnt think about it.
Didnt waste time contemplating
the scenario.
With Blayse Cholish standing
on first, thanks to a full-count,
inning-opening single to left,
McElroy drilled the first-pitch of-
fering well beyond the left-field
fence and into a bullpen-type fa-
cility.
Just like that, the defending
district champs had a 2-0 lead.
That was such a big hit. It was
a great feeling, McElroy said.
Honestly, I was not thinking
one thing when I walked in the
batters box. It was kind of like
a change-up, an off-speed pitch,
and I put my weight back and hit
it. I was hoping for the best.
Berwick (14-4) never let the
heads drop. The Lady Bulldogs
just couldnt find the timely base-
knock to drag a run across the
dish.
Brian Bridges squad stranded
a runner on base in each of the
first three innings, and left one
Lady Bulldog standing on first in
the top of the seventh.
We had opportunities, but we
just couldnt string them back-
to-back, the head coach said. I
know the hits were pretty close
between us. If we could have
put them together a little better,
maybe it could have been differ-
ent, but thats the way the ball
bounces sometimes. I thought
we played tough, and we never
got down. Thats just the way it
goes.
Valley View had a chance to
extend the lead in the fourth,
but left runners on the corners.
The Lady Cougars also got a two-
out triple by first baseman Alex
Wiltz in the sixth, but couldnt
push her home, either.
Bridge is a terrific pitcher,
and we knew that we were in for
a battle with her, Weston said. I
didnt know what to expect be-
cause I only seen them one time.
But thats a quality team. I have a
lot of respect for them and their
coaching staff. You saw a game
where both pitchers kept their
teams in the game. It was the dif-
ference of one swing.
Taylor Kern had two hits for
Berwick, while Moriah Lynn and
Kylene Welsh added singles.

art-Haas teammates Tony
Stewart and Ryan Newman.
Stewart has a sarcastic side to
him. Newman possesses a dry
wit. The trio played off each
others comments Wednesday
like a comedy team.
You just have to come to
one of our debriefs and youll
definitely have the answer to
your question, Stewart said. I
can tell you I dont embarrass
easy. And these two talking and
some of the conversations they
have, Im like Oh, God, I have
to go get a Coke. I can promise
you shes just another person
out there and fits in just fine.
Patrick has always had a way
of blending in with the opposite
sex. It started at an early age
and continued through her rac-
ing career that took off with a
fourth-place finish in the 2005
Indianapolis 500.
Ive always been able to fit
in with the guys really well,
Patrick said. Since I was 10
years old, I spent more time
with guys than girls. Gosh, I
can remember being in grade
school and having all the girls
being mad at me because I got
along with all the guys so well. I
understand them, I understand
the way they joke around. I
dont take anything too seri-
ously. Its very easy, just like if
I spent all my time with girls.
The next step for Patrick is
to go from a NASCAR curiosity
to a steady performer. Although
a rookie, her 22 Cup starts are
second most in series history
by a female. Only Janet Guth-
rie, whose last race was in 1980,
has more with 33.
The results thus far havent
been good. After a career-high
eighth at the season-opening
Daytona 500, Patrick hasnt fin-
ished in the top 10. She is 30th
in the standings, but Stewart
has been impressed.
I think people underesti-
mate how good she is right
out of the box at tracks and
how good she is about figuring
out race tracks, Stewart said.
Honestly, the 10 races she ran
last year and the races shes run
this year, we havent had to do a
lot of coaching with her.
Patricks hand-timed laps
were about a second slower
than laps by Newman and Paul
Menard, who was also at Po-
cono with Richard Childress
Racing teammates Jeff Burton
and Kevin Harvick for two days
of testing in preparation for the
Party in the Poconos 400 Pre-
sented by Walmart on June 9.
We made five laps, so I re-
ally dont know a whole lot
yet, Patrick said. It seems like
a neat place, definitely a unique
track. I have a long way to go
to get up to speed and get com-
fortable around here and start
working on the car.
At least she has Stewart and
Newman past winners at Po-
cono Raceway to help her
maybe.
I didnt tell her anything.
Make her learn like everybody
else, Stewart deadpanned.
Honestly, I havent told her
anything yet because I havent
been that good here lately.

Belgium rocks US
in Cleveland friendly
By TOMWITHERS
AP Sports Writer
CLEVELAND Christian
Benteke scored two goals in the
second half and Marouane Fel-
laini had another, leading Bel-
gium to a 4-2 thrashing of the
United States on Wednesday
night in an international friend-
ly the Americans hoped would
get them ready for upcoming
World Cup qualifiers.
Boasting a strong roster with
10 players fromthe English Pre-
mier League, Belgium broke a
1-1 tie with three goals in the
second half. It overpowered a
U.S. team that has some work
to do on defense before it can
even think about making the
field for next summers World
Cup in Brazil.
Benteke, who plays for Aston
Villa, scored in the 56th and 71st
minutes for Belgium, ranked
15th in the world and considered
a rising European power.
Geoff Cameron scored in the
22nd minute and Clint Dempsey
pounded in a penalty kick in the
80th minute for the U.S.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann
figured Belgium would provide
a stiff challenge for his evolving
team, and while the Americans
had some nice moments, the
Belgians controlled the game
from the outset.
Belgium took advantage of
poor defense to score three of
its goals.
With the score 1-1 in the
56th minute, a turnover by
American midfielder Brad Da-
vis was compounded by de-
fender Omar Gonzalezs failure
to clear the ball in front of the
net. Gonzalez could have easily
booted it over the touch or end
line, but instead left the ball for
Belgiums Kevin De Bruyne.
He centered it to Benteke for
an easy tap-in past goalkeeper
Brad Guzan, who replaced Tim
Howard in the second half.
Guzan came up with a nice
save in the 64th minute, but
seconds later he was fishing the
ball from his net again. Fellaini,
known as much for his puffy
hairdo as his skills, headed his
goal into the left corner off a
beautiful cross by De Bruyne to
make it 3-1.
In the 71st minute, Benteke
streaked behind defenders
DaMarcus Beasley and Matt
Besler and chipped in a pass
from Steven Defour.

New England tight end Rob
Gronkowski will have back sur-
gery on a disk in mid-June.
A person familiar with the de-
cision told The Associated Press
on Wednesday that Gronkowski
will undergo the surgery next
month, which means he will
miss the rest of offseason train-
ing activities with the Patriots.
He could return for training
camp at the end of July.
The person spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because the
Patriots do not reveal injury de-
tails publicly.
Gronkowski missed the 2009
season at the University of Ari-
zona after back surgery. Earlier
this month, he underwent a
fourth procedure on his left fore-
arm, which he broke last season,
to treat an infection.
He broke the forearm Nov. 18
while blocking for an extra point
against the Indianapolis Colts.
He broke it again early in the
Patriots first playoff game, a win
over Houston, ending a rough
season for the star tight end.

Some of the seniors said, Lets
get out of here in three (games)
and it wont be a problem.
It wasnt.
WhenMyslowski put downthe
final point, Redeemer wrapped
up the match - and a spot in
the state quarterfinals Saturday
against either Manheim Central
or Western Wayne - in just under
90 minutes. That left the Royals
two hours to pull on their caps
and gowns and pick up their di-
plomas.
It feels so great to have that
game-winning kill, said Mys-
lowski, who made six of those
kills, served 11 points including
two aces and picked up four digs
to complement his 22 assists.
Being its graduation night for
us makes it all the more sweet.
Hard-hitting junior Mike
Prociak made Redeemers strat-
egy look even sweeter.
The 6-foot-7 middle hitter
pounded home a match-high 15
kills, including two straight to
give the Royals breathing room
with a four-point lead early in
the final game. He then slammed
home three consecutive points
to put Redeemer up, and on the
brink of the state-opening vic-
tory, 25-14.
At that point, we felt like we
had the game sealed, Prociak
said. We were completely in
rhythm. We were just really in
sync today. I think its a sense
of knowing its playoff time. We
just know that every point mat-
ters that much more. If you lose
once, you go home. We dont
want that to happen. We really
think we can go far in states.
Redeemers offense ran
smoothly thanks in large part to
6-7 hitter Morrison.
The strategy was simple.
The Royals matched up Mor-
rison on junior killing machine
Mitch Strobel - Hes theyre go-
to man, Kablick said - and neu-
tralized Schuylkill Valleys great-
est weapon. That left Prociak
pounding shots over much
smaller Schuylkill Valley players,
none taller than 6-4.
We had a great matchup
with him, Kablick said. Mor-
rison did a great job. That puts
Prociak against their second line
of defense, and he just feasted on
it.
Noticing that, the Royals kept
feeding Prociak.
When theres good ability on
both sides, matchups are impor-
tant, Myslowski said. When
you have a 6-7 (player) on one
side and a guy a bunch of inches
shorter on the other side, its
good to use your matchups.
Ultimately, it meant Redeem-
er reserved a trip to the second
round of states, and in plenty of
time to get to a graduation.
I dont think we were distract-
ed, Myslowski said. We had
to focus on one thing at a time.
Both things were really impor-
tant to us.

FOR THE TIMES LEADER/CHARLOTTE BARTIZEK
Holy Redeemers Mike Conlin puts one over the net against
Schuylkill Valley during Wednesdays PIAA first-round match at
That has been the key for us
all season, winning draws and
being able to go in on attack,
Blue Knights coach Catie Kersey
said. I think the difference in
our game today was our attack
playing defense. So if there was
a turnover in our attack end we
quickly got on the ball and were
able to create another turnover
and try again.
Mericles fellow seniors Emily
Granger and Amanda Schwartz
combined for seven more goals,
including the games first two
which came just 14 seconds
apart. Schwartz opened the
games scoring giving the Blue
Knights a 1-0 lead with the clock
reading 18:38. It didnt take
much time for the second tally of
the contest.
Once the draw was won,
Granger and Mericle used their
speed to open the lead to 2-0.
Mericle won the draw sprinted
down field then quickly passed
to Granger who broke through
the Lewisburg defense for anoth-
er goal at the 18:24 mark.
Outrunning Lewisburg is
something the Blue Knights did
the entire 50 minutes of the con-
test to open a huge lead.
We had a really good transi-
tion in the backfield with passing
and speed that just helped us get
down to our goal, numbers up
and give us a better opportunity
to score, Mericle added.
Sophomore Alexis Quick con-
tributed two goals for Seminary,
while junior Rebecca Schulman
also found the back of the net for
the Blue Knights, who led 9-0 be-
fore Lewisburg finally got on the
scoreboard four minutes into the
second half.

Hynes. We can say the power
play cost us not scoring a goal,
but we did hit the pipe on the
power play and had a point
blank chance by (Brian) Gib-
bons. We had some Grade A
chances on the power play, they
didnt go in.
Riley Holzapfel hit the cross-
bar on one of the Penguins
power play opportunities, and
they had several chances in the
first period alone, including 59
seconds of a two-man advan-
tage in the final two minutes
but were unable to get anything
past Crunch goaltender Cedrick
Desjardins.
That can be a turning point
in the game, Holzapfel said.
Its a key point in the game any-
time you can get a five-on-three
in the playoffs. The momentum
kind of swung their way.
After a scoreless first period,
the Crunch got on the board
midway through the second
when Vladislav Namestnikov
capitalized on an Alex Grant
turnover and scored on a
slapshot from the high slot to
make it 1-0.
The Penguins penalty kill did
generate momentum late in the
period. With Holzapfel off for a
high-sticking double minor, the
Penguins prevented the Crunch
from extending their lead, led
by several saves from Brad
Thiessen to keep it 1-0 heading
into the third.
It was a big kill for us, Hynes
said. We didnt have a huge re-
sponse after that. It wasnt like
we took the game over.
Syracuses defense clamped
down in the third and prevent-
ed the Penguins from pulling
Thiessen for the extra attacker
for most of the final minute. The
best chance the Penguins had
came with four minutes remain-
ing when Olli Maatta playing
in his first AHL game, whizzed
a wrist shot from the high slot
that Desjardins just snared with
his glove.
The Crunch put the game out
of reach when J.T. Brown scored
into an empty net with five sec-
onds left for the 2-0 win.
Still, it was the lack of power
play success coupled with a
stout Syracuse defense that was
responsible for the Penguins
first shutout loss this postsea-
son.
We got a little desperate,
said center Trevor Smith, who
admitted Syracuses defense was
a lot tighter. Decent coverage,
broken plays, blocking shots.
We have to pass it around and
find ways to get pucks to the
net.

the Penguins Joey Mormina and the Crunchs Tyler Johnson
during Wednesday nights game at Mohegan Sun Arena in
Wilkes-Barre Township.
place - a fact he attributed to
his long run with London in the
OHL playoffs.
Playoffs, no matter what the
league, is all about intensity, he
said.
Im still in shape and it
doesnt change much, Maatta
said. Its still the playoffs and
everyones giving their best on
the ice.
Still, Maatta admitted he was
a little nervous before his first
AHL game. But as the minutes
ticked away, so did the nerves
and he grew more comfortable
on the Penguins blueline.
Head coach John Hynes re-
warded the rookie with big min-
utes late in the game as the Pen-
guins tried to erase the Crunchs
one-goal lead. And he almost
came through, until Desjardins
glove stopped the puck at the
last second.
He did a nice job, Hynes
said. He came in and didnt
know what to expect. His con-
fidence got better as the game
went on and he earned the extra
ice time.
Maatta took that as a vote
of confidence - something that
likely earned him another start
in Game 4 on Friday.
It was big and I really en-
joyed it (playing in the third pe-
riod). I felt good that they trust
me, Maatta said.

seabrooks OT goal lifts Blackhawks past red Wings
CHICAGO Brent Seabrook sent a
wrist shot past goalie Jimmy Howards
glove 3:35 into overtime to give the Chicago
Blackhawks a 2-1 victory over the Detroit
Red Wings in Game 7 of their second-round
playoff series on Wednesday night.
The Blackhawks, who had the best record
in the NHL regular season, rallied from a
3-1 series deficit to reach the Western Con-
ference finals against the defending Stanley
Cup champion Los Angeles Kings.
For just the second time in NHL history,
the final four teams remaining in the play-
offs are the four most recent Stanley Cup
winners. Chicago captured the Cup in 2010.
Seabrook picked up a loose puck and
skated in on Howard through the middle
of the ice, with Detroit defenseman Niklas
Kronwall in front of him. His shot hit Kro-
nwalls leg before it sailed into the left side
of the net for the defensemans first goal of
the postseason.
I was just trying to step up, Seabrook
said. The coaches have been on me all year
to get up and jump into the play.
The sellout crowd of 22,103 roared as
Seabrook skated over to the boards and was
mobbed by his delirious teammates.
Howard put his arm around Kronwall,
who was down on one knee, and tried to
console him while the Blackhawks celebrat-
ed.
It was quite a change from the end of the
third period, when the Blackhawks thought
they had scored the go-ahead goal. But it
was waved off with less than 2 minutes re-
maining by referee Stephen Walkom, who
called a pair of penalties behind the play.
Henrik Zetterberg scored the tying goal
in the third period for Detroit, which beat
second-seeded Anaheim in seven games in
the first round. Howard finished with 33
saves.
Pavel Datsyuk was held without a point,
closing out an ineffective series for the Rus-
sian star.
Chicago made it to the conference finals
for the first time since it won the title in
2010 and will host Los Angeles in Game
1 on Saturday night. The Kings advanced
with a 2-1 victory over San Jose in Game 7
on Tuesday night.
Pittsburgh will host Boston in the opener
of the East finals on Saturday.
Chicago was one of the favorites to win
the Stanley Cup when the playoffs began,
storming to the Presidents Trophy during
the lockout-shortened season. The Black-
hawks then boosted their credentials with
a five-game win over Minnesota in the first
round and a convincing 4-1 victory against
the Red Wings in the series opener.
But Howard and Detroit responded with
three straight victories, pushing Chicago
to the edge of elimination. The frustrated
Blackhawks held a team meeting the day
after Game 4, where the seeds were planted
for their improbable comeback.
They felt one win would turn it around,
and they were right.
Three victories later in which the
Blackhawks outscored the Red Wings 10-5
after managing just two goals in Games 2-4
made them the 25th team to win a series
after trailing 3-1.
It was the first time in franchise history
they have made such a comeback.
NEW YORK The Rangers
fired combative coach John Tor-
torella on Wednesday, four days
after New York was eliminated
from the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Tortorella was unexpectedly
dismissed with one year left on
his contract. He led the Rangers
to the Eastern Conference finals
last year and into the second
round this year before New York
was eliminated in five games by
the Boston Bruins.
The fiery Tortorella, who was
hired to replace Tom Renney in
February 2009, achieved some
success with the Rangers but
couldnt match the Stanley Cup
title he earned in 2004 with the
Tampa Bay Lightning.
Rangers general manager
Glen Sather met with the media
via a conference call Wednesday
afternoon. He did not a name
an immediate replacement, but
hopes to have
one in place
by the June 30
NHL draft in
Newark, N.J.
I felt this
was a decision
that had to
be made go-
ing forward,
Sather said. I think he was
shocked, but he is a gentleman
and he took it very well.
Last season, Tortorella led the
Rangers to 51 wins the sec-
ond-most in franchise history
and 109 points before they were
beaten in six games by New
Jersey in the conference finals.
He finished his Rangers tenure
in fourth place on the teams ca-
reer coaching wins list.
The 54-year-old Tortorella got
the Rangers back into the play-
offs in this lockout-shortened
season, and New York outlasted
Washington in seven games in
the first round of the playoffs
before being knocked out by
Boston.
Tortorella made curious com-
ments on Monday when the
Rangers packed up for the sea-
son, which could have led to his
ouster. In his final meeting with
reporters, Tortorella said his
club wasnt emotionally ready
to take on Boston after getting
past Washington with back-to-
back shutout wins when it faced
elimination.
One of the things, and it falls
on my shoulders, is our teams
mindset going into another
round, Tortorella said. I dont
think our mindset was ready to
play another series and to the
level you need to be at. It didnt
have a playoff atmosphere.
Thats what I struggle with
right now. I didnt do a good
enough job in correcting and
getting their mindset back to
not only play at the level of a
Game 7 in the first round but
get ready for round 2, which is
always going to be tougher.
Even though the Rangers
were knocked out of the play-
offs one round earlier this year
than last, Tortorella was defiant
in expressing that he didnt be-
lieve the team regressed in its
progression.
I know the surrounding feel-
ing here is that it was a negative
season, a disappointing season.
I dont buy it and I wont, Tor-
torella said.
There are some good things
that happened. I dont think we
took a step backward. I think
this is a sideways step in our
lineup and how things worked
out.
We played really well our
last couple of months to get in,
found a way to win a big series
against Washington, and against
Boston I thought we competed
right to the end.

Playoff architects wont be
allowed to select teams
IRVING, Texas (AP) The
conference commissioners who
put together the College Foot-
ball Playoff will not be allowed to
serve on the committee that se-
lects the teams that will play in it.
The commissioners are still
working on the structure of the
selection committee for the new
postseason system that starts in
2014. But they have eliminated
themselves from consideration.
Big 12 Commissioner Bob
Bowlsby, who once served on
the basketball selection commit-
tee, said Wednesday he thought
commissioners recusing them-
selves was the right way to go.
I really believe there are some
people with a high level of exper-
tise that would be helpful to the
process, a high level of experi-
ence that would be helpful to the
process, Bowlsby said at Big 12
meetings in the Dallas area. But
we felt like it was just going to be
too disruptive and too subject to
suspicion and therefore decided
that we wouldnt be in the room.
BCS Executive Director Bill
Hancock told reporters at the
Southeastern Conference spring
meetings in Destin, Fla., that the
commissioners are not eliminat-
ing the possibility that active
athletic directors could serve on
the committee, but the focus has
been on using former adminis-
trators, coaches, and even media
members to make up the panel.

Jack Nicklaus answers questions during a news conference before the the Memorial on
Wednesday in Dublin, Ohio.
DUBLIN, Ohio Jack Nick-
laus only has to look at some of
the clashes on the PGA Tour in
recent months to see how far
golf has come since he was in
his prime.
Thats not necessarily a good
thing.
We were trying to figure
out how to get somebody to
write about anything when we
played, Nicklaus said Wednes-
day on the eve of the Memo-
rial. I think today you have to
figure out how you keep some-
body from writing about any-
thing. Its a big difference.
Vijay Singh is suing the PGA
Tour over its anti-doping poli-
cy. A small group of players has
retained a lawyer over the new
rule involving long putters.
And the dispute getting all the
attention is Tiger Woods and
Sergio Garcia, who didnt hide
their dislike for each other un-
til it reached a point last week
that Garcia made a comment
with racial overtures about
Woods.
The Sergio-Tiger thing, I
mean, its stupid, Nicklaus
said. Do guys have an issue
one with another? They usu-
ally resolve it themselves. You
guys want to resolve it in the
newspapers today. Nobody
needs that. And I think they
both finally said, Its enough.
Forget it, guys. Lets move on.
In our days, I suppose there
were times when you had an is-
sue with somebody and it came
about. You never read about it.
The Woods-Garcia spat
turned ugly last week when
Garcia was jokingly asked at a
European Tour dinner outside
London if he would have Woods
over for dinner during the U.S.
Open. Try-
ing to go
along with
the sarcasm,
the Spaniard
said he would
serve fried
chicken.
G a r c i a
apol ogi zed
that night in
a statement
and the next
day in a news
conf erence,
though he
said he had
been unable
to reach Woods over the phone.
Woods was asked Wednesday if
he considered getting in touch
with Garcia to hear the apol-
ogy so he wouldnt have to deal
with it during a busy, impor-
tant week at the U.S. Open.
What followed were his first
public comments, though they
were sparse.
Was I supposed to go to
Wentworth? Woods said jok-
ingly.
Asked if he would allow Gar-
cia to reachhimonthe phone to
be done with the matter before
getting to Merion, Woods said,
Thats already done with.
Did that mean Garcia apolo-
gized to him?
Not in person, no, he said.
When asked if Woods consid-
ered Garcias news conference
an apology, Woods said, Move
on.
On one matter there is no
dispute Woods is playing
some pretty good golf. When
all the discord was mentioned,
followed by the question of
whether it was healthy for golf,
Woods replied, Well, Ive won
four times.
No one else has more than
one win this year, which ex-
plains why Woods has opened
another large lead at No. 1 in
the world ranking, and why he
is the favorite going into the
next major championship. The
first stop is Muirfield Village,
were Woods is a five-time win-
ner.
A year ago, Woods complet-
ed a Sunday rally with a chip
from behind the 16th green
that even Nicklaus, the tour-
nament host, called one of the
best shots he ever saw under
the circumstances. The flop
shot behind the green had to
be executed to perfection
anything too soft would turn
away to the left down a ridge
and leave some 30 feet for par,
while anything too firm might
run beyond the hole and off the
green into the water.
Woods holed it for a birdie.
The Memorial has the top
six players in the world rank-
ing and the strongest field
in golf among regular tour
events. Rory McIlroy, Scott,
Justin Rose, Lee Westwood
and Brandt Snedeker are all
playing.
Given his history and this
golf course it only seems as
though its Woods against ev-
eryone else.
What is it about the course
Jack built and the guy who
seems to own it?
Most golf courses set up
well for Tiger Woods, McIl-
roy said. Hes won The Play-
ers this year, and that was a
golf course that everyone said
didnt quite suit him. The
guy is good wherever he goes
and plays. Its not like he goes
to the same course and wins.
He can win anywhere.

Injured LB
Spence says
he will play
this season
PITTSBURGH Sean Spen-
ces coaches appear split over
whether the linebackers man-
gled left knee will be ready to
play for the Pittsburgh Steelers
in 2013.
Spence, however, has no such
concerns.
The goal is for me to play this
season, Spence said Wednesday
during organized teamactivities.
Thats the way Im preparing.
Though he declined to mark
a specific return date, Spence
insists he can see the finish line
for his recovery from a grue-
some injury that cut short his
rookie year before it even began.
Spence was blitzing late in the
third quarter of the teams final
preseason game against Carolina
when his knee gave out and bent
awkwardly.
The third-round pick out of
Miami (Fla.) needed to be taken
off the field on a stretcher after
tearing all three major ligaments
and sustaining extensive nerve
damage in the knee.
I knew right away that some-
thing wasnt right, Spence said.
The knee went back. It didnt
hurt as much as I thought it
should have hurt, but I think
I was in shock more than any-
thing.
So were the Steelers, who
were hoping Spence could be-
come the eventual successor to
James Farrior at inside lineback-
er. Instead he spent all of Pitts-
burghs disappointing 8-8 season
wearing a brace and wondering
if his career was in jeopardy.
That doesnt appear to be an
issue anymore. At least, not to
Spence.
I know a lot of people have
not been able to come back after
damage like that, but Im going
to see if I can be one of the only
ones, he said. Actually, I know
that Im going to beat the odds.
Im not really worried about
that.
Spences coaches cant seem
to agree. Coach Mike Tomlin
said before last months draft
that Spence was progressing as
planned but linebackers coach
Keith Butler appeared to be
more cautious, indicating there
would be little chance of Spence
playing this season, if at all.
The Steelers re-signed veteran
Larry Foote in the offseason and
grabbed Florida States Vince
Williams in the sixth round of
the draft. Williams is consid-
ered a project while Foote turns
33 next month. Spence remains
very much a part of Pittsburghs
long-term plans. He would just
prefer to be a part of the short-
term one as well.
Though Spence says he can
run and do everything, he will
not be on the field during OTAs
or minicamp. His goal is to be
ready when training camp opens
in July but that seems a bit ambi-
tious. Spence allows that might
be too soon, but he doesnt see
himself sitting out the year again.
You do want to play it safe,
in a situation like this, but at the
same time if Im good enough
to go, Im gonna go, he said. I
probably will take things slow,
but I have trust myself in doing
what I know I can do. And if I
think I can go, Ill go.
Spence was a tackling ma-
chine for the Hurricanes, making
317 stops in four seasons, includ-
ing 10.5 sacks.
His speed makes him an as-
set in coverage and when he
was drafted, the Steelers saw
an opportunity to pair him with
veteran Lawrence Timmons in
the middle of Pittsburghs 3-4
scheme.

Roger Federer greets spectators after defeating Indias Somdev
Devvarman in their second round match of the French Open at
Roland Garros stadium in Paris on Wednesday. Federer won in
three sets 6-2, 6-1, 6-1.
Things could get more
interesting for Federer
PARIS Now things could
get a little more interesting for
Roger Federer.
After a pair of straightforward
and straight-set victories at the
French Open against qualifiers
ranked outside the top 150, the
17-time major champion will
face a seeded player, Frances Ju-
lien Benneteau, who not only al-
ready beat Federer once this year
but also came within two points
of upsetting him at Wimbledon,
of all places, in 2012.
I think Im playing OK, Fe-
derer said in something of an un-
derstatement, considering hes
dropped 11 games through six
sets so far. Definitely think the
next match is going to be sort of
the big test for me, to see exactly
where I stand.
There wasnt much trouble
for Federer in the second round
Wednesday, when he beat two-
time NCAA singles champion
Somdev Devvarman 6-2, 6-1, 6-1
in less than 1 hours.
It really was something of a
laugher, especially with Federer
serving at 4-0 in the final set.
He hit a first serve well out, and
both players waited for the lines-
man to make a call which he
finally did, albeit after a long
delay. Federer and Devvarman
chuckled, looked at each other,
and chuckled some more. As
Federer prepared to hit his sec-
ond serve, he needed to pause
because he couldnt regain his
composure.
Otherwise, little bothered Fe-
derer.
You obviously know hes ca-
pable of doing certain things,
and you try and make life as
tough for him as possible, said
Devvarman, who played college
tennis at Virginia. In my case to-
day, I didnt execute. And some-
times even when I did, I feel like
he came up with the better shot.
Federer accumulated a 54-
12 edge in winners, in part by
moving forward to the net on 30
points.
Im happy that I was playing
offensive and aggressive tennis
in the first two matches, because
I had the opportunity, but I didnt
back off and start to play passive
tennis and wait for mistakes. So
I took it to my opponent, said
Federer, the 2009 French Open
champion. But really, I think Ill
only know more after the Benne-
teau match, to be quite honest.
Then again, Benneteau might
not quite be the same guy who
took the first two sets against
Federer before losing in five on
the grass of the All England Club
nearly a year ago. Or the one
who has beaten Federer twice
in six meetings, including 6-3,
7-5 in February on an indoor
hard court at Rotterdam, Neth-
erlands.
The 30th-seeded Benneteau
dealt with pain in his thigh
Wednesday during a topsy-tur-
vy 7-6 (9), 7-5, 5-7, 0-6, 6-4 win
against Tobias Kamke of Germa-
ny. Ahead by two sets and at 5-all
in the third, Benneteau dropped
10 games in a row before right-
ing himself.
Even putting that aside, Ben-
neteau explained, Obviously its
all pretty tricky, (playing) Feder-
er. He breezed through the first
two rounds. He plays very well.
You know youre going to have
to really ramp up a gear.
Same must be said when fac-
ing another past French Open
champion, Serena Williams, who
has been challenged about as
much as Federer has.

The Miami Heats LeBron James reacts after he was called for a technical
foul against the Indiana Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA basketball Eastern
Conference finals on Tuesday in Indianapolis.
Heats back to the wall?
Crucial game 5 looms tonight as
Miami struggles to right ship.
By TIMREYNOLDS
AP Basketball Writer
MIAMI Several times around the
start of these playoffs, Miami coach
Erik Spoelstra insisted that the post-
season path his team would wind up
navigating had the potential to be
more challenging than the route they
took to the NBA championship a year
ago.
Hes apparently correct, probably to
his own chagrin.
The defending NBA champion Heat
are in a bit of trouble. They cant get
enough rebounds, cant get Dwyane
Wade on track, cant get consistency
out of Chris Bosh and will likely
see all those story lines either grow
exponentially or basically disappear
tonight, when they host to the Indiana
Pacers in Game 5 of a super-compet-
itive Eastern Conference finals thats
now knotted at two games apiece.
We have a great locker room of
Alpha competitors, Spoelstra said
Wednesday. And so they take this
very seriously. Were playing against
a worthy opponent and if we dont
play well, they beat us. If they dont
play well and we impose our identity,
we beat them. Thats what this is all
about. So lets lace em up and lets get
ready for Game 5.
Game 6 will be in Indiana on Sat-
urday night, while the Western Con-
ference champion San Antonio Spurs
keep waiting to see who theyll face in
the NBA Finals starting on June 6.
History says the Game 5 winner
when a series is tied at 2-2 has a co-
lossal upper hand, though thats an
axiom that the Heat both proved and
disproved last season.
When the Heat and Pacers split
the first four games of their second-
round series last year, Miami rolled
to a 115-83 home win in Game 5 and
captured the series in six games. One
round later, Miami lost a home Game
5 of the East
finals to Bos-
ton, then went
on the road for
Game 6 and
got a virtuoso
45-point night
from LeBron
James to stave off elimination before
coming home and winning a nailbiter
of a Game 7 to advance.
Given all that, its no wonder why
Spoelstra said the Heat arent looking
back at any series as a blueprint for
how the final acts of this one should
go.
We dont need confidence to go
into any game, James said. Were
a confident bunch. Were excited to
get the opportunity to go back to our
home and play Game 5.
Confidence is not exactly in short
supply around the Pacers right now,
either.
Indiana came into the series saying
and believing that it could find a
way to oust the team that was virtual-
ly preordained as a champion entering
these playoffs. That hasnt changed.
Weve got to be at our best, Pacers
coach Frank Vogel said Wednesday.
Our intensity, our determination, our
focus, weve got to keep getting better
if were going to beat this team.
The statistical trends probably
arent surprising. The Heat have
scored 402 points, the Pacers 394. The
Heat have shot 47 percent from the
field, the Pacers 46 percent. The Pac-
ers have shot 37 percent from 3-point
range, the Heat 34 percent.
Miami is better at forcing turnovers,
the Pacers are better at rebounding.
Miami has forced Indiana into 14
more turnovers in the series, but the
Pacers are outrebounding the Heat
by 10 boards per game. Pacers center
Roy Hibbert is averaging 12 rebounds;
Bosh has grabbed 13 rebounds
total in the series, or as many as
Miami guard Ray Allen has despite be-
ing half a foot shorter and playing 32
fewer minutes.

Wrestling, baseball/softball,
squash make IOC short list
By LUKE MEREDITH
AP Sports Writer
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia And
now for the gold-medal match.
Three months after wrestling got
kicked out of the 2020 Olympics, the
ancient sport is back in the frame and
will compete against baseball-softball
and squash for a spot in the games.
We had the opportunity to have a
second chance to compete, interna-
tional wrestling federation head Ne-
nad Lalovic said Wednesday after the
three sports made the IOC short list.
We took the opportunity. We won the
first match but there is another one to
fight.
Of eight sports competing for a
place on the 2020 program, five were
eliminated karate, roller sports,
sport climbing, wakeboarding and the
Chinese martial art of wushu.
The IOC executive board decided
to recommend wrestling, squash and
baseball-softball to the full IOC as-
sembly for a final decision on Sept. 8
in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Only one
will get through.
We are competitors. We had seven
and now we have two, said Lalovic, a
Serb who has revamped FILA and led
the campaign for reinstatement. Be
careful, we are good fighters.
Despite a tradition dating to the
Olympics of ancient Greece, wrestling
was cut from the list of core sports by
the IOC board in February. The deci-
sion caused an international uproar
and prompted the United States, Rus-
sia, Iran and other countries to join
forces in an unlikely political alliance
to save the sport.
Wrestling has gone through a major
upheaval since the rejection. Raphael
Martinetti resigned as FILA president
within days of the decision and was
replaced by Lalovic, who won election
as full-time leader 10 days ago.
FILA has brought women and ath-
letes into decision-making roles and
enacted rule changes to make the com-
petition more compelling. Matches
will now consist of two three-minute
sessions instead of three two-minute
periods, and scoring will be cumula-
tive instead of the previous best-of-
three system.
Everybody understood what we
have done, said Lalovic, wiping away
sweat from his forehand after the deci-
sion was announced in a packed con-
ference room. They probably trust
us that we can do more and this is the
result.
But we have to do much more, and
to prepare ourselves for Buenos Aires
with additional arguments. These will
not be sufficient in Buenos Aires.
Asked whether the result showed
the IOCs earlier decision was a mis-
take, Lalovic said: I cant say that.
Simply, I dont judge them. They are
in the position to judge us.

IN BRIEF
Funeral homes combining
Service Corp. International plans tobuy
Stewart Enterprises Inc. in a cash deal val-
ued at about $1.13 billion that combines
the two largest funeral home and cem-
etery operators in the United States.
Houston-based Service Corp. said
Wednesday it will pay $13.25 for each
share of Stewart, which is based in Jef-
ferson, La. Thats a 36 percent premium
over Stewarts closing price on Tuesday.
Service Corp. said the combined com-
pany will operate 1,653 funeral homes
and 515 cemeteries in the United States,
Canada and Puerto Rico. Service Corp.
currently runs 1,437 funeral homes and
374 cemeteries. Spokeswoman Lisa Mar-
shall said that amounts to about a 13 per-
cent market share in a highly fragmented
industry.
Exxon Mobil CEOdefends oil
The CEO of Exxon Mobil Corp. says
theres no quick replacement for oil, and
sharply cutting oils use to reduce green-
house gas emissions would make it hard-
er to lift 2 billion people out of poverty.
What good is it to save the planet if hu-
manitysuffers? CEORexTillersonsaidat
the oil giants annual meeting Wednesday.
Tillerson jousted with environmental
activists who proposed that the company
set goals to reduce emissions from its
products and operations.
Shareholders sided with the company
and voted nearly 3-to-1 to reject the pro-
posal. By a 4-to-1 ratio, shareholders also
defeated a resolution to explicitly ban
discrimination against gays. The Exxon
board had argued that the company al-
ready banned discrimination of any type
and didnt need to add language regard-
ing gays.
Joblessness down in US cities
Unemployment rates fell in almost all
large U.S. cities in April, helped by stron-
ger hiring. The gains showthe jobmarket
is improving throughout the country.
The Labor Department said Wednes-
day that unemployment rates declined in
344 of the 372 largest metro areas. Rates
rose inonly 17 cities andwere unchanged
in 11.
The U.S. unemployment rate dropped
in April to a four-year low of 7.5 percent,
downfrom7.6percent inMarch. Employ-
ers have added an average of 208,000 jobs
eachmonthinthe past sixmonths. Thats
up fromjust 138,000 in the previous six.
Yuma, Ariz. had the nations highest
rate, at 30.3 percent, followed by El Cen-
tro, Calif., with 24 percent. Both cities
have long had the highest rates in the
country. Theyare adjacent andhave heavy
populations of migrant farmworkers.

As the temperatures climb
in Northeastern Pennsylvania,
the local unemployment rate
has continued to dip. Coming
off a March that saw the local
rate drop two-tenths of a per-
centage point, April was even
better, dropping another three-
tenths of a percent to settle at
9.4 percent.
For the 37th consecutive
month, the rate was still the
highest of the states 14 metro-
politanstatistical areas (MSA).
The report, released
Wednesday by the state De-
partment of Labor and Indus-
try, showed there were actu-
ally 100 fewer people working
in the tri-county region that
makes up the MSA in April
than in March; however, the
number of people listed as
unemployed but searching for
jobs had dropped by 700.
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre was
one of four MSAs to register
a drop in the number of em-
ployees from month-to-month,
joining Erie, Johnstown and
State College. The MSA incor-
porates Lackawanna, Luzerne
and Wyoming counties.
Most over-the-month chang-
es were modest. Mining, log-
ging and construction, and
professional and business ser-
vices all experienced seasonal
increases. Leisure and hospi-
tality experienced the largest
gain adding 1,100 to payrolls.
Health care and social assis-
tance saw the largest decline
over the month, down 600 em-
ployees.
Over the year, transporta-
tion, warehousing and utili-
ties, as well as professional and
business services, performed
well. Durable goods manufac-
turing, educational services,
and healthcare and social assis-
tance saw the largest declines.
Anthony Liuzzo, director
of the master of business ad-
ministration program at Wil-
kes University, classied the
report as slightly positive
though humdrum but added
that overall it continues the
slowbut steady trend toward
getting better.
Stability is good, Liuzzo
said, saying that the ultimate
goal should be to get back into
the 5 to 6 percent unemploy-
ment rate range that the region
had pre-recession. Though
those days, he noted, arent
going to be here for a while.
The regions rate drop mir-
rored Pennsylvanias rate
decrease of three-tenths of a
point. The states unemploy-
ment rate in April was 7.6 per-
cent, while the United States
rate was at 7.5 percent, down
one-tenth of a point over the
month.
Over the past year, the
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre rate in-
creased two-tenths of a point,
Pennsylvanias rate decreased
two-tenths, and the U.S. rate
was down six-tenths of a point.
On the county level, the un-
employment rate rose to 8.8
percent in Lackawanna Coun-
ty, stayed at 9.4 percent in Wy-
oming County and dipped to
9.5 percent in Luzerne County.

WASHINGTON U.S. banks earned
more from January through March than
during any quarter on record, buoyed by
greater income from fees and fewer loss-
es from bad loans.
The banking industry earned $40.3
billion in the rst quarter, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. said Wednes-
day. Thats the highest ever for a single
quarter and up 15.8 percent from the
rst quarter of 2012, when the industrys
prots were $34.8 billion.
Record prots show banks have come
a long way from the 2008 nancial crisis.
But the report offered a reminder that
the industry is still struggling to help the
broader economy recover from the Great
Recession.
Only about half of U.S. banks reported
improved earnings from a year earlier,
the lowest proportion since 2009. That
shows the industrys growth is being
driven by a narrower group of the na-
tions largest banks.
Those banks include Bank of America
Corp., Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase
& Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. Most of
them have recovered with help from fed-
eral bailout money and record-low bor-
rowing rates.
Bank lending declined from the Octo-
ber-December quarter, although that fol-
lowed several quarters of increases.
And bank prots frominterest charged
fell 2.2 percent to $104 billion. The in-
dustrys average interest income as a
percentage of total loans on its books fell
from 3.35 percent to 3.27 percent. Thats
the lowest portion of total loans in nearly
seven years.
That has forced banks to see more rev-
enue from fees, despite complaints from
customers and consumer advocates.

RICHMOND, Va. Shuanghui
International Holdings Ltd. has
agreed to buy Smitheld Foods Inc.
for approximately $4.72 billion, the
largest acquisition of a U.S. company
by a Chinese company.
Hong Kong-based Shuanghui
owns a variety of global businesses
that include food, logistics and a-
voring products and is the majority
shareholder in Chinas largest meat
processing enterprise. Smitheld,
the worlds biggest pork producer,
owns brands such as Armour, Farm-
land and its namesake.
Shareholders of Smitheld will re-
ceive $34 per share under terms of
the deal announced Wednesday a
31 percent premium to the Smith-
eld, Va., companys closing stock
price of $25.97 on Tuesday.
Both companies boards have
unanimously approved the transac-
tion, which still needs approval from
Smithelds shareholders. The trans-
action may also be subject to review
by the U.S.s Committee on Foreign
Investment, which evaluates the po-
tential national security effects of
transactions. The process typically
includes a 30-day initial review, fol-
lowed by a 45-day investigation be-
fore making a recommendation to
the president.
Chinese investment in the U.S. is
still comparatively low but has risen
sharply in recent years. China has
accused the U.S. of discriminating
against its companies, although ana-
lysts say American rms face bigger
obstructions investing in China.
The companies put the deals total
value at about $7.1 billion, including
debt. Smitheld Foods has about
138.8 million outstanding shares,
according to FactSet. Smithelds
stock will no longer be publicly trad-
ed once the deal closes.
Its shares surged $6.50, or 25 per-
cent, to $32.47 in midday trading
Wednesday.
Shuanghui has 13 facilities that
produce more than 2.7 million tons
of meat per year. Under the agree-
ment, there will be no closures at
Smithelds facilities and locations,
including its Smitheld, Va., head-
quarters in the historic southeastern
Virginia town of about 8,100 where it
was founded in 1936, the companies
said.
Smithelds existing management
teamwill remain in place and Shuan-
ghui also will honor the collective
bargaining agreements with Smith-
eld workers. The company has
about 46,000 employees.

THE TIMES LEADER THuRSDAy, MAy 30, 2013 timesleader.com
After a much-hyped social-media
buzz, the Bluth family returned to
television screens on May 26 thanks to
a season four revival of Arrested Devel-
opment courtesy of Netix.
Readers asked about the series are
split on whether or not a return was
worth it. A jumpy rst episode turned a
few heads but not in a good way.
Factoryville resident Samantha Wat-
kins said, I liked the old format better,
as these were a bit hard to follow.
Scranton native Stephanie Monahan
agreed, adding, The perk of focusing
on each character is that we get some
well-deserved character development.
Jennifer Graham Edsell, also of Scran-
ton, said, I was devastated when Fox
canceled it and only caught episode one
of Season Four so far, but Im loving it!
The callbacks to old characters
(including a ton of favorites, no spoil-
ers here) were well executed, noted
former Scranton resident Christopher
Glenn Barrows. Its good to see what
the Bluth family has been up to. Heres
hoping they never leave us again.
- Chris Hughes
WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING? Love it or not, the Bluths are back
NEW YORK A company that
promised sightseer tours to the
Bronx that included a New York
City ghetto has stopped the bus
rides under protest from an outraged
neighborhood.
Real Bronx Tours, which took
mostly European tourists from Man-
hattan to see life in the South Bronx
from a safe distance, issued a state-
ment saying it would immediately
cease all tours there.
Three times a week, the $45 ride
took visitors past food-pantry lines,
a housing project and a park a guide
described as a pickpocket hangout.
Tourists were told theyd get a look
at the Bronx that reects one of the
darkest chapters of the citys history,
the 1970s and 80s, when the tour
website said this borough was no-
torious for drugs, gangs, crime and
murders.
The Bronx lost hundreds of build-
ings to res intentionally set by land-
lords to collect insurance money,
hence the phrase, the Bronx is burn-
ing.
But residents say the tours are a
misrepresentation of the area where
former Secretary of State Colin Pow-
ell and U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Sonia Sotomayor lived as children.
Those days are over, the Bronx is
being rebuilt, its rising again, said
Bronx resident and Grammy-nomi-
nated musician Bobby Sanabria.
Borough President Ruben Diaz
Jr. and City Councilwoman Melissa
Mark-Viverito sent an open letter to
the company owner, Michael Myers,
saying they were sickened by the de-
spicable way the borough was being
portrayed to outsiders.
We strongly urge you to stop prof-
iting off of a tour that misrepresents
the Bronx as a haven for poverty and
crime, while mocking everything
from our landmarks to the less for-
tunate members of our community
who are availing themselves of food
assistance programs.
The tour company did not respond
to calls and emails requesting com-
ment. It was not clear whether they
would resume any of their tours. The
website of the company is no longer
accessible.
Other companies in the city still of-
fer regular guided trips to the Bronx.
Three weeks ago, NYC & Com-
pany, the citys tourism bureau,
launched a promotion of the South
Ghetto tours

Al Quinones, who manages Play-
ground 52, is interviewed at the
venue in The Bronx borough of New
York. A company that offered tourist
treks to the Bronx ghetto has shut
down under scathing criticism from
offended neighborhood leaders.

EWYORKFor some women, its just this way and probably always will be: The size
of their swimwear tops and bottoms dont match. So, why not have some fun with it?
Theres no better place than the beach or the pool to show off the whimsical and
creative sides of a womans personality, says Josh Saterman, Macys fashion director. The
customer can let down her hair when shes there and break a few rules.
Stripes with polka dots or a hot-pink string top and orange boy shorts: Why not?
We are denitely seeing our customer steer away from matchy-matchy, says Nancy Tay-
lor, Athletas director of design.
Swimseparates, including bikini and tankini tops, and brief, bikini and short-style bottoms,
were introduced into wide distribution several years ago. They were intended to solve a prac-
tical problem when consumers needed a bigger top or bigger bottom, but women have since
started using them to make a style statement.

Bronx as one of our safest, most ex-
citing boroughs, with highlights in-
cluding Art Deco architecture and the
Yankees.
Real Bronx Tours has been booted
from the bureaus membership list as
a result of the language theyve been
using, NYC &Company spokeswoman
Kimberly Spell said.
Elena Martinez, an anthropologist
and Bronx resident, offers visitors
walks through the same neighborhood
that was on Real Bronx Tours itiner-
ary.
The human struggles on these still
gritty streets have produced urban
styles and sounds copied around the
world, from hip-hop music and out-
door murals to clothing.
Many young Europeans come here
as a pilgrimage, Martinez said. This
was the incubator for hip-hop, salsa,
jazz, Afro-Cuban music, R&B.
She points to theaters, lavish dance
halls and clubs where salsa came alive,
along with some of the biggest names
in music. Sanabria, a famed drummer,
says he comes from a borough that
has an incredible, majestic music cul-
ture.
And though many of the buildings
now house stores and ofces, or were
demolished or burned down, newones
mingle with restored historic ones
and people are helping to bring the
neighborhood back, Martinez said.
Weve had enough of the gawkers
who come to ghettoize us, says Al
Quinones, caretaker of a community
park that features a garden with fruit
trees and a stone outdoor amphi-
theater. Their timing was bad. The
Bronx is not burning, not now! Now
its resurgence.
On the door to his shack on the
grounds is a sign that reads: Dont
dump on the Bronx.
Sanabria, Martinez and other Bronx
residents are meeting Friday to kick-
start a counter-campaign to what they
call the Bronxs negative image.
Theyve calling their action Bronx
Rising.
GHETTO

AP PHOTOS
Manicured homes
line a street in the
Longwood Historic
District in The
Bronx borough
of New York. A
company that
offered tourist
treks to the Bronx
ghetto has shut
down under scath-
ing criticism from
neighborhood lead-
ers offended by
the tours that took
mostly European
and Australian
tourists past food-
pantry lines and
pickpocket park.
But other New
York companies
continue to show
visitors, many
of them foreign-
ers who know of
the Bronx only
from movies, the
grittiest part of
the citys poorest
borough.
ABOVE: The former Samuel B. White mansion, in the 1850s Greek
Revival style, survives in the Longwood Historic District in The
Bronx borough of New York.
AT LEFT: A young man runs under an elevated section of subway
tracks in The Bronx borough of New York.
Mixing pieces, sometimes
in different silhouettes or
from different brands, builds a
swim wardrobe that suits dif-
ferent occasions a strapless
bandeau for a party and an ath-
letic racer-back for a day with
the kids, perhaps? while a
woman can remain comfort-
able and condent in the bot-
tom she feels best ts her g-
ure. (Loyalty runs deeper for
bottoms, experts say.)
Celebrities were photo-
graphed in mismatched tops
and bottoms, and young wom-
en soon followed, says design-
er Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss,
who launched her brand with
swimwear. It was only a mat-
ter of time until more fans of
two-piece bathing suits caught
on to it, she says. Fans of the
one-piece can accomplish a
similar look by adding a pair
of swim shorts or a skirt.
Mix-and-match is denitely
a trend this season, agrees
Jennifer Foyle, design director
for Aerie.
That has made designers
more conscious of using com-
plementary colors and prints.
Taylor of Athleta plans for
all sorts of combinations as
she plots the collection. Right
now, shoppers seem to favor
printed tops with solid bot-
toms as theyre still adjusting
their eye, she says. Its a way
for customers to dip a toe into
separates.
Dark bottoms, especially
black and dark blue, do tend
to be more attering, Foyle
advises.
She adds: Its almost like
dressing for ready to wear.
Women are using her swim-
suit top as her summer state-
ment piece. She wants it to be
fun, but she wants it to look
good.
Taylor doesnt want to put
any rules to it rule-break-
ing is the best part, she says
but still, shed encourage
color families, pairing cool
beach blues and greens. Neons
also work together, and so do
warm tropical hues.
Its the same idea with
prints: Nautical stripes and
cheerful polka dots marry
well, as do ethnic and animal
prints, and ikats. But a dot
and an ikat would look more
like they were just two pieces
pulled haphazardly from the
drawer.
Small-scale geometric pat-
terns also work with orals or
paisleys, but because orals
and paisleys are both typically
bold, Taylor would keep those
separate. Keep in mind the
vibe and the overall look even
if youre not sweating full-on
coordination, she suggests.
Theres also the opportunity
to use different solid separates
to tap into the colorblocking
trend that remains popular
this season.
This summer, Gruss says
shell be mixing gold pieces
with corals and turquoise blue.
Abonus? You get more mile-
age out of your swim outts,
Gruss adds. Three suits be-
come six.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I am
friendly with a mar-
ried couple. The
husband, Grant,
is my best friend
and we talk about
everything. His wife,
Sharon, and I are
equally close. Their wedding date
was last summer.
I have known for a while that Grant
didnt want to get married. He did it
to please everyone around him. Sha-
ron, however, was elated. He hoped
that after the wedding his feelings
would change. Now they have been
married for nine months Grant tells
me he cant continue on, that he is
unhappy and no longer wants to be
married.
I have begged and pleaded with
him to level with Sharon. He keeps
making excuses about why he hasnt
told her yet. He says hell do it but
each day he moves the discussion
further and further back. When I talk
with her, she tells me she has the
feeling he doesnt want to be married
anymore.
Please help. This is stressing me
out. I want to let Grant tell her, but I
feel I should say something because
he hasnt. At the same time, I dont
want to have anyone mad at me.
What should I do?
Caught in the Middle
Dear Caught: Step back and keep
your mouth shut. You are in a no-win
situation.
It is Grants job to find the courage
to tell his wife he made a mistake by
marrying her. While it may be pain-
ful for her to hear, it probably wont
come as a shock, from what shes tell-
ing you.
You help neither of them by letting
them discuss their marital problems
with you instead of with each other.
So do them both a favor and remove
yourself from the middle.
Dear Abby: When I was 15, I was di-
agnosed with bipolar disorder, severe
anxiety and social phobia. I am now
20 and have been on countless medi-
cations and tried different forms of
therapy. I wish for nothing more than
to be a fully functioning adult, but I
am exhausted from trying my hardest
to feel better internally only to find
myself where I started.
Whats your best advice for young
adults dealing with crippling mental
illness? How can we live our lives
without fear of being rejected or
shunned for our illness?
Frustrated in Washington
Dear Frustrated: There is still igno-
rance, stigma and fear about mental
illness mostly because it is misunder-
stood. However, 50 percent of adults
will have a diagnosable mental illness
at some time in their lives includ-
ing the ones you have.
I discussed your letter with Dr.
David Baron, psychiatrist in chief at
the University of Southern California
hospital. He suggested that I stress
to you the importance of finding a
mental health professional you can
trust and confide in, and have another
thorough evaluation done.
In recent years newer drugs and
therapies are being used which may
help you, so you shouldnt give up.
In a case like yours, a combination of
medication and talk therapy can be
helpful.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Friend keeping confidences for married couple feels ready to crack
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). Cats
dont really get tongues, and the
pants of liars rarely catch on fire.
But you believe in the influence
of phrases, and youre careful to
use the most empowering words
you can think of.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
note the odd out-of-place things
here and there and decide its
time to clean up your life a bit.
Regarding your list of next steps:
Are they doable?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People
will tell you that they want a
job done fast, but if its not also
done well, all that speed will be
for nothing. Its better to slow
down and take pride in your
work.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You
may look around and assess that
you cant do anything about the
situation at hand. If all you can
change is your own attitude, do
that. It will be enough to flip the
situation around.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Someone
stole something from you in the
past an intangible item, like
your wide-eyed pure affection.
Now youll be paid a small pen-
ance for this thievery.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
have to admire a person who is
doing the right thing and getting
rewarded for it that is, after
you finish being envious that its
not you. It will be soon.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Destiny
is not a scriptwriter assigned to
the task of creating your epic
love story. Youre the best one
for that job, although you might
have better luck making it an
adventure story with romantic
undertones.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
have a special relationship with
silence. You use it effectively,
and it empowers you. You sense
when the silence is in danger,
and you protect it. You also know
when to interrupt the silence.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If
you know what another person
should be doing and you fail to
tell him or her, does that make
you negligent? Unless youre the
other persons boss or parent,
no. Its smart to mind your own
business.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Youll enjoy the state of things
inside your own head. Theres
more optimism, hope and play-
fulness there than before. Its
like youre learning a new way to
think.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You
are competitive, so you will be
tempted to compare yourself
to others, which is not a good
idea, especially if youre compar-
ing your weaknesses to their
strengths. Stay focused on what
youre doing well. Keep doing it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When
you show people who you are,
they will first wonder whether
what youre showing is really
you. Your consistency will con-
vince them. What you display is
who you really are inside.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 30).
Relationships change, and the
new way suits your lifestyle and
goals beautifully. In June, you
move forward in less than per-
fect conditions, and you make
something great out of the
circumstances. July brings a pro-
fessional shift. Your lucky num-
bers are: 40, 2, 11, 24 and 18.
