FORTY FORT Temperatures have
crept toward record highs this week and
people around the area are starting to
shake off the cabin fever with some sum-
mertime traditions.
At the Forty Fort Pool, lifeguards said
their pool-watching duties on Thursday
were much more enjoyable than last week
when temperatures hung around 70 de-
grees, at best.
We were open last weekend, and it was
freezing. We were wearing sweatpants.
This is a lot better, though. We can actu-
ally get a tan, Katie Lord, the pools head
lifeguard, said.
Below the lifeguards perch, Lola Wood,
5, and Emma Suppon, 8, splashed in the
pool, undoubtedly nding relief from from
humidity that peaked at 93 percent satura-
tion Thursday, making the temperatures
feel hotter.
We can go swimming now, Wood ex-
claimed. When it was cold, we just stayed
inside.
Mary Bednarak, of Kingston, went to the
Forty Fort Pool as a child. Now as a senior,
it takes her back. She said the water might
be cold, but that isnt stopping her.
I think everybody is ready for the warm
weather and I am happy to get in the wa-
ter. Its freezing, but it feels good, Bed-
narak said of the water.
High temperatures bring return of warm-weather fun

KINGSTON In the midst
of a departmental review, Police
Chief Keith Keiper submitted a
letter indicating he is retiring
from the force, a source said
Thursday.
Kingston Mayor James Hag-
gerty said he could not discuss
anything about
Keiper because
of an on-going
internal review
of police proce-
dures involving
private security
details.
Keiper last
month volun-
tarily placed himself on admin-
istrative leave while the internal
review was being performed.
Haggerty said the review is in
its nal stages and is hoping to
be completed by next week.
We cant comment on any-
thing because it is a personnel
issue and the review is on-go-
ing, Haggerty said. Were not
at liberty to discuss it at this
time. Hopefully, when the re-
view is completed and a report
is issued, we can discuss every-
thing.
The review involves ofcers
performing private security de-
tails for events, such as school
dances and athletic events at the
Wyoming Valley West School
District.
Haggerty previously ex-
plained that all requests for
private security details need ap-
proval from the police adminis-
tration and found a few instanc-
es in which the policy was not
correctly followed.
Wyoming Valley West Super-
intendent Chuck Suppon said
he found one incident where of-
cers were paid cash for a dance
that was sponsored by the dis-
trict.

other dances hosted by the dis-

Public in dark over whereabouts of explosive chemicals
WASHINGTON Fears of terrorism have
made it harder than ever for citizens to nd
out what dangerous chemicals lurk in their
backyards, The Associated Press has found.
Secrecy and shoddy record-keeping have kept
the public and emergency workers in the dark
about stockpiles of explosive material.
A monthlong reporting effort by the AP,
drawing upon public records in 28 states,
found more than 120 facilities within a po-
tentially devastating blast zone of schoolchil-
dren, the elderly and the sick. But how many
others exist nationwide is a mystery, as other
states refused to provide data.
People living near these facilities who want
to know what hazardous materials they store
would also have to request the information
from state environmental agencies or emer-
gency management ofces. County emer-
gency management ofcials would also have
it. The federal government does not have a
central database, and while the Homeland
data sketchy

A SUSQUEHANNA SOJOURN
River shows tranquil side
ON THE SUSQUEHANNA
You wont see it from anywhere but
here, and yes, its a bit scary. Chunks
of stone ripped from the piers as if
by a giant claw, debris including
ironically, a boat trailer piled
high on the upriver side, and the
bridge overhead thick with rust.
I always paddle under that
bridge pretty quickly, Vinnie
Cotrone said with a smile, adding
that the only real threat to kayakers
and canoers is inattentiveness when
they pass under the bridge just
north of Scovell Island. Stay clear
of the debris, he shouted to his son
Michael. I know you know that,
but Ive got to say it anyway.
Michael, 10, may be the poster
child for how accessible the river
really can be. He joined his dad and
six others mostly media types
on a two-hour oat down the
river Thursday as a precursor and
promo for Riverfest 2013, set for
June 21-23 (his dad is president of
the Riverfront Parks Committee of
Wilkes-Barre, which organizes the
event).
A true newbie to river travel,
Michael got a quick lesson in
everything from entering the kayak
to holding the twin-blade paddle,
then proceeded to master the craft
so quickly that within 20 minutes
he paddled rings around his pop,
literally.
Its an opportunity available to
anyone interested and willing to pay
a relatively modest rental fee ($45

WILKES-BARRE The
mayor questioned whether
a shooting that injured two
people and left bullet holes
in the rental car they drove to
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital
last weekend occurred in the
city.
Mayor Tom Leighton had
fewdetails to offer when asked
about the incident during City
Councils regularly scheduled
meeting Thursday night. I
believe theres very little infor-
mation to give, he said.
Where did it happen in the
city? Leighton asked a report-
er who inquired as to why po-
lice have not released informa-
tion about it. Our police are
investigating to see if it even
happened in the city, he said.
The shooting purportedly
happened around 5 a.m. Sat-
urday; beforehand, the injured
men might have been at an af-
ter-hours club on South Main
Street that the city also is look-
ing into.
A city health inspector for-
warded a complaint about the
property earlier in the week,
Drew McLaughlin, city mu-
nicipal manager, stated in an
e-mail after the meeting. The
city is investigating to see if it
is properly zoned and licensed.
Frank Sorick told council he
called the number he was pro-
vided for the club and the man
he spoke to said it is open. I
drove by last night and the
place is in full operation,
Sorick said.
James Gallagher wanted
to know about the legality of
putting a banner that read
Nothing Fails Like Prayer on
display on Public Square. Gal-
lagher, who often addresses
council, said he supports free
speech. But that banner is a
shot at the Christian and Cath-
olic religions, he said.
He suggested that it be
taken down. Its not a good
character to have that ying
in our downtown, especially
when we start off our council
meeting by having a prayer,
Gallagher said.
The mayor responded by
telling Gallagher that people
of faith, such as him, Gallagh-
er and council, shouldnt let it
offend them. We live in a free
country; unfortunately every-
body has the rights to what-
ever what they want to say,
Leighton said.
Justin Vacula paid the city
$50 to hang the banner sup-
plied by the Freedom From
Religion Foundation. Vacula,
who described himself as an
atheist, said the banner was
done as a response at the Na-
tional Day of Prayer and Circle
the Square with Prayer events
held on the Square earlier this
month.
WILKES-BARRE In an
emotionally charged accep-
tance speech, Keith Benjamin
told the story of how Ruths
Place shelter for homeless
women came to be.
Benjamin, 64, and his wife
Julie, 66, were honored Thurs-
day night on the 10th anniver-
sary of Ruths Place, the proj-
ect they co-founded in 2003.
The Commission on Eco-
nomic Opportunity also was
honored for its continued sup-
port of the agency that has
served 1,513 women since its
inception, representing some
31,739 nights of lodging. Gene
Brady, executive director at
CEO, quoted an Irish proverb
in his acceptance speech. It is
in the shelter of each other in
which we all live, he said.
The Benjamins, now retired
and living in Rochester, N.Y.,
said they are proud of how
the shelter has grown from
a seven-bed unit in a church
basement to a full-standing
program that last year served
nearly 300 women.
The shelter was necessary
to keep women from making
the 4 oclock decision, said
Keith Benjamin, who fought
back tears as he explained.
Too many women were
forced to make that 4 oclock
decision to decide who to
sleep with to have shelter for
the night, he said. The fact
that anybody would have to
make that decision made me
think and it still does.
So on Dec. 1, 2003, Ruths
Place opened with two cli-
ents. Keith Benjamin said the
number gradually grew as the
agencys credibility became
established. Julie Benjamin
said as many as 36 women
were cared for on a nightly ba-
sis in the early years, and the
Benjamins spent long hours at
the shelter because volunteers
were hard to nd.
But we cared, said Keith
Benjamin. Poverty bothers
me; it bothers me a lot.
A retired minister, Keith
Benjamin told the story of a
young couple of Biblical times
who arrived in a town with
no room in the inn and found
shelter in a stable. The law of
Moses called on that family to
be taken in, he said. And this
shelter does just that.
Gloria Edwards, 67, was
homeless in 2007 when her
marriage broke up. The Ben-
jamins took her in and she
now lives on her own in Kings-
ton. Ruths Place gave me the
tools and the fundamental
things needed to make it in the
real world, she said.
Kristen Topolski, 38, is
the shelter director and she
said 20 women currently stay
at Ruths Place. She said 86
women were placed in perma-
nent housing in 2012 and 39
more in transitional housing.
Were proud of our program
and our successes, she said.
And when they leave us, we
have a 96 percent success rate
of knowing exactly where they
go.
Ruths Place was founded by
the Methodist Urban Ministry.
The shelter provides shelter
and case management servic-
es for homeless women while
honoring their dignity, its sup-
porters said.
Not only does Ruths Place
do what its supposed to do, it
does it well, said Rabbi Larry
Kaplan of Temple Israel and a
board member.
It provides just about ev-
erything they need to excel
and support themselves and
to take advantage of their own
strengths.

Russians nd mammoth
carcass with liquid blood
MOSCOW A perfectly pre-
served woolly mammoth carcass
with liquid blood has been found
on a remote Arctic island, fuel-
ing hopes of cloning the Ice Age
animal, Russian scientists said
Thursday.
The carcass was in such good
shape because its lower part was
stuck in pure ice, said Semyon
Grigoryev, the head of the Mam-
moth Museum, who led the ex-
pedition into the Lyakhovsky
Islands off the Siberian coast.
The blood is very dark, it was
found in ice cavities bellow the
belly and when we broke these
cavities with a poll pick, the blood
came running out, he said in a
statement released by the North-
Eastern Federal University in Ya-
kutsk, which sent the team.
Wooly mammoths are thought
to have died out around 10,000
years ago, although scientists
think small groups of them lived
longer in Alaska and on islands
off Siberia.
Scientists have deciphered
much of the woolly mammoths
genetic code from their hair,
and some believe its possible
to clone them if living cells are
found.

Jennifer Sidari, a 26-year-old
graduate in the rst class of
The Commonwealth Medical
College who had been dubbed
a medical doctor only a few
weeks ago, died Wednesday
at Geisinger Medical Center,
Danville, the same hospital
where she was beginning her
residency.
Her brother, Pete, 17, said
his sister did not pursue a
medical career for the money.
I think she would have been a
pioneer, he said.
Jennifer Sidari, a West
Pittston native, had recently
returned from a trip to Haiti,
and the family spent a lot of
time Thursday night talking
about her adventures there.
Her father, Peter Sidari, said
his daugh-
ter made her
mark during
the medical-
aid trip.
Many chil-
dren Jennifer
Sidari worked
with there
needed more
than medical care, they need-
ed someone to make them feel
loved. Some children carried
mites, and the other doctors
hesitated to get close. Sidari
didnt think twice, and pho-
tos from the trip show how
committed to the cause she
was, hugging the children and
reaching them at their level.
Sidaris boyfriend, John
Brunza, remembered her re-
turn and his surprise that she
had left almost everything be-
hind. Sidari felt the Haitians
needed her clothes and belong-
ings more than she did, Brunza
said.
Her friends and family lled
the front porch Thursday and
ltered in and out of the house,
offering covered dishes and
long hugs. The Sidari family
said friends had been stopping
by all day to offer condolences
and talk about their lost daugh-
ter and sister.
Victoria Sidari, 16, remem-
bered a sister who was never
embarrassed by her younger
sibling. Only last week, Jenni-
fer Sidari had invited Victoria
to go for dinner with a bunch
of the elders friends, she said.
After growing up with a sister
who was more like a parent
in some ways, Victoria asked,
What sister would bring her
younger sibling on a girls
night out?
It is unclear what caused
Sidaris untimely death, but
her brother, Pete, said its im-
portant to know she passed
peacefully with her family by
her side.

HARRISBURG
Jewelry burglar pleads guilty
A New York City man pleaded guilty
in federal court Thursday to the May
2008 robbery of Dunay Jewelers in
Wilkes-Barre.
Huby Ramkissoon, 37, pleaded
before Senior U.S. District Court Judge
James M. Munley.
The charges and guilty plea are part
of a continuing investigation into a
scheme to rob Luzerne County jewelry
stores. Four others have been charged
in connection with that scheme in
which they robbed Steve Hydock Dia-
monds, Kingston, and Dunay Jewelers.
In December last year, FBI agents
arrested Ramkissoon in New York
City. He pleaded guilty to one count
of interference with commerce by
robbery and a second count of using a
rearm to assist a robbery.
Ramkissoons maximum penalty
under the federal law is life imprison-
ment. Under federal sentencing stat-
utes, the judge is required to consider
the seriousness of the offense and
Ramkissoons history before imposing
a sentence.

Red Cross is honoring local heroes
WILKES-BARRE While
attending services at Our
Lady of the Eucharist Church
in Pittston on Dec. 2, Loretta
Amico of Pittston had to put
her nursing skills to the test.
When her daughter noticed
a 66-year-old had man passed
out, she started CPR and
hooked up a debrillator to
revive him.
When the ambulance ar-
rived, the man was starting to
come around. She saved his
life.
For her deed, the nurse of
40 years will receive the Red
Cross Adult Good Samaritan
Award on June 12. Amico
is one of eight who will get
awards for heroism at the 5th
Annual Heroes Awards Break-
fast beneting the Wyoming
Valley Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
It makes you feel really
good. Everything happened
really fast and it comes natu-
ral to you. You do what you
have to do, Amico, director
of surgical services at Bucci
Eye Surgery Center, said. If
it was my husband or father,
I would want someone to do
the same.
The Red Cross honors ev-
eryday heroes in the Wyoming
Valley who have performed
extraordinary lifesaving acts,
said agency spokeswoman
Jolene Miraglia.
Spirit of Heroism Award
Gina Pocceschi Boyle and
her sister Jaclyn Pocceshi
Mosely founded Fallen Of-

honor of their brother, police
ofcer Rodney Pocceshi, who
was shot and killed in the line
of duty in Virginia Beach on
June 23, 2003, despite wear-
ing a bullet proof vest.
For eight years, Boyle and
Mosley have made it their
mission to help the commu-
nity by protecting its police
ofcers by giving them bullet
proof vests that are not al-
ways provided. Their mission
comes alive through fundrais-
ing and sponsors who can
Adopt-a-Cop.
Because of their effort in
trying to save lives, Boyle and
Mosley will receive the Spirit
of Heroism Award. The two
are honored to receive the
award, but they believe police
ofcers are the real heroes.
They go out every day and
put their lives on the line.
That is why we do what we
do. They are the heroes and
we want to protect them,

$7 million
settlement
reached in
12 crash
By SHEENA DELAZIO
sdelazio@timesleader.com
Jesse Prebola, disabled after
2012 incident, to receive
distribution for medical care.
WILKES-BARRE A lawsuit
in Luzerne County Court involv-
ing a Kingston man who was left
disabled after a collision with a
tractor-trailer has been settled
for $7 million.
The suit was led by Deborah
Prebola on behalf of her 30-year-
old son, Jesse Prebola, in Janu-
ary 2012 against the driver of
the tractor-trailer and several
companies.
After an agreement reached
on April 16, according to court
papers, the
Prebolas and
the named
def endant s
came to a $7
million settle-
ment in insur-
ance proceeds
approved on
May 17 by a
county judge.
We were
condent that
if the case had
p r o c e e d e d
to trial, the
award would
be in excess
of the $7
million, said attorney Joseph
Quinn, of Kingston, who repre-
sented the Prebolas. If we can
obtain a favorable settlement,
well agree to it. This will allow
(Deborah Prebola) to be a mom
rather than the sole caretaker of
Jesse.
According to the suit, on Oct.
27, 2010, at 11:30 p.m., Jesse
Prebola, who was 27 at the time,
was driving north on Route 29
outside of Tunkhannock.
Thomas Punko, of Plymouth,

Former United Hebrew Institute building is sold
KINGSTON A real es-
tate holding company with
ties to the administrator of
a special-education elemen-
tary school in Luzerne has
purchased the former United
Hebrew Institute building in
Kingston for $475,000.
According to a deed led
this week at the Luzerne
County Recorder of Deeds,
NGO Realty LLC purchased
the 1.629-acre property at
Third Avenue off of Pierce
Street on Tuesday. NGO Re-
alty is listed with the state
with a Shavertown address,
and the deed was signed by
Nicholas G. Ouellette, who
listed himself as a managing
member.
Ouellette is the building
administrator at the Graham
Academy on Miller Street in
Luzerne. Hes also the son of
the academys owner, Tina
Ouellette.
Efforts to reach Nicholas
and Tina Ouellette were not
successful Thursday.
Its unclear what the new
owners have planned for the
18,434-square-foot building
that served as the home of
the United Hebrew Institute
for more than 50 years before
that school moved into the
Jewish Community Center
in Wilkes-Barre in 2011.
As long as the building
has new life, its viewed as a
positive by Kingston Mayor
James Haggerty. Its an im-
portant building in a nice
neighborhood, Haggerty
said. Well be delighted to
see it put back to good use

BEIRUT Syrian President Bashar
Assad said in an interview broadcast
Thursday that he is condent in vic-
tory in his countrys civil war, and he
warned that Damascus would retaliate
in kind to any future Israeli airstrike on
his territory.
Assad also told the Lebanese TV sta-
tion Al-Manar that Russia has fullled
some of its weapons contracts recently,
but he was vague on whether this in-
cluded advanced S-300 air defense sys-
tems.
The Syrian presidents comments
were in line with a forceful and con-
dent message the regime has been
sending in recent days, even as the
international community attempts to
launch a peace conference in Geneva,
possibly next month. The strong tone
coincided with recent military victories
in battles with armed rebels trying to
topple him.
Assads interview was broadcast as
Syrias main political opposition group
appeared to fall into growing disarray.
The international community had
hoped the two sides would start talks
on a political transition. However, the
opposition group, Syrian National Co-
alition, said earlier Thursday that it
would not attend a conference, linking
the decision to a regime offensive on
the western Syrian town of Qusair and
claiming that hundreds of wounded
people were trapped there.
Assad said Thursday that he has been
condent from the start of Syria con-
ict more than two years ago that he
would be able to defeat his opponents.
Regarding my condence about vic-
tory, had we not had this condence,
we wouldnt have been able to ght in
this battle for two years, facing an inter-
national attack, he said.

WASHINGTON
Suspicious letters linked
A
suspicious letter mailed to the
White House was similar to two
threatening, poison-laced letters on the
gun law debate sent to New York Mayor
Michael Bloomberg, one of the nations
most potent gun-control advocates, of-
cials said Thursday.
The Secret Service said the letter was
addressed to President Barack Obama
and was intercepted by a White House
mail screening facility. Two similar let-
ters postmarked in Louisiana and sent
to Bloomberg in New York and his gun
control group in Washington contained
traces of the deadly poison ricin.
It wasnt immediately clear whether
the letter sent to Obama contained
ricin. It was turned over to the FBIs
Joint Terrorism Task Force for testing
and investigation.
TRUXTON, N.Y.
4 kids among 7 killed
A minivan carrying two families was
hit by a runaway trailer hauling crushed
cars in upstate New York, killing four
young children and three adults in their
early 20s, authorities said Thursday.
Cortland County Coroner Whitney
Meeker told The Associated Press
that all seven victims, including four
children under 10, were local residents.
They were killed and a man was injured
when their van was hit by a trailer that
broke away from a truck on Route 13
around 6 p.m. Wednesday in the rural
town of Truxton, about 25 miles south
of Syracuse.
The children were from two different
families, including one from Truxton,
Meeker said. The other family lived
nearby, he said.
BAGHDAD
Another 33 Iraqis killed
Ofcials in Iraq are growing increas-
ingly concerned over an unabated spike
in violence that claimed at least another
33 lives on Thursday and is reviving
fears of a return to widespread sectar-
ian ghting.
Authorities announced plans to
impose a sweeping ban on many cars
across the Iraqi capital starting early
today in an apparent effort to thwart car
bombings, as the United Nations envoy
to Iraq warned that systemic violence
is ready to explode.
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki,
meanwhile, was shown on state televi-
sion visiting security checkpoints
around Baghdad the previous night as
part of a three-hour inspection tour,
underscoring the governments efforts
to show it is acting to curtail the blood-
shed.
ROME
Pope walks in procession
Pope Francis has again broken
with the practice of his predecessors,
walking the full length of an annual
mile-long procession from one Roman
basilica to another.
The 76-year-old Francis, who walks
with a slight limp because of apparent
lower back pain, paused several times
in prayer during the 45-minute night-
time walk between St. John Lateran
and St. Mary Major.
Thousands of pilgrims holding
candles lined the route on a chilly
spring evening.
During his nearly eight-year ponti-
cate, Pope Benedict XVI would make
the annual Corpus Domini procession
riding on a specially outtted at-top
pickup truck, kneeling in prayer.

Pa. union
for guards
sues over
2009 deal
HARRISBURG Leaders
of the union for Pennsylvanias
state prison guards led a law-
suit Thursday that challenges a
2009 deal struck by then-Gov. Ed
Rendell to divert a large surplus
from the trust fund that pays
health benets for state employ-
ees.
Four executive committee
members of the Pennsylvania
State Corrections Ofcers Asso-
ciation sued in county court in
Harrisburg, seeking to recover
$226 million and remove several
trustees from the Pennsylvania
Employee Benets Trust Fund.
Their claim involves the deal
that allowed the state to reduce
payments into the fund in order
to avoid threatened furloughs
of state workers. But the prison
guards say their union never
went along, and that a promise
to repay the money was not kept.
The lawsuit alleges breach of
trust and duciary duty, saying
the deal was a patently impru-
dent decision that violated the
express terms of the trust agree-
ment and Pennsylvania law.
The defendants include state-
appointed trustees and ofcials
with other unions, including
Wendell Young with the United
Food and Commercial Workers
Union.
Everybody needs to remem-
ber where our country and our
state was in 2009, Young said
Thursday. The worst recession,
the Great Recession of all time
was hitting us hard. Companies
and states were looking at ways
to deal with huge losses.
When I look at what we did
there, Im pretty proud of what
we did as union leaders and
trustees of that trust fund,
Young said.
At the time the deal was an-
nounced, the parties said the
money would be repaid, but that
did not happen, said Todd Ea-
gen, the guards lawyer.
Once funds come into the
trust, they become assets of the
trust and they can only be used
to provide benets for the partic-
ipants, Eagen said. They cant
go back to the commonwealth.
The lawsuit said that in Janu-
ary, the trust fund board did not
act on a motion by a Pennsylva-
nia State Corrections Ofcers
Association-appointed member
to take action against the state
to collect the deferred payments,
effectively defeating the propos-
al.
The lawsuit asks for a sur-
charge against the defendants,
both individually and collective-
ly. Eagen said that if his clients
prevail, payments could come
out of any errors and omis-
sions insurance coverage main-
tained by the trustees.
Deal under then-Gov. Rendell
diverted surplus from trust
fund that pays health benets.

Gordon Gee in hot water for remarks about Catholics
COLUMBUS, Ohio The president
of Ohio State University said Notre
Dame was never invited to join the Big
Ten because the universitys priests are
not good partners, joking that those
damn Catholics cant be trusted, ac-
cording to a recording of a meeting he
attended late last year.
Gordon Gee also took shots at
schools in the Southeastern Conference
and the University of Louisville, accord-
ing to the recording of the December
meeting of the schools Athletic Coun-
cil that The Associated Press obtained
under a public records request.
The university called the statements
inappropriate and said Gee is undergo-
ing a remediation plan because of the
remarks.
Gee apologized in a statement re-
leased to the AP.
The comments I made were just
plain wrong, and in no way do they re-
ect what the university stands for, he
said. They were a poor attempt at hu-
mor and entirely inappropriate. There
is no excuse for this and I am deeply
sorry.
Gee, who has taken heat previously
for uncouth remarks, told members
of the council that he negotiated with
Notre Dame ofcials during his rst
term at Ohio State, which began more
than two decades ago.
The fathers are holy on Sunday,
and theyre holy hell on the rest of the
week, Gee said to laughter at the Dec.
5 meeting attended by Athletic Direc-
tor Gene Smith and several other ath-
letic department members, along with
professors and students.
You just cant trust those damn
Catholics on a Thursday or a Friday,
and so, literally, I can say that, said
Gee, a Mormon.
The Big Ten had for years courted
Notre Dame, but the school resisted
as it sought to retain its independent
status in college football. In September,
the school announced that it would join
the Atlantic Coast Conference in all
sports except football. It also agreed
to play ve football games each year
against ACC teams.
Notre Dame spokesman Dennis
Brown called the remarks regrettable.
Gee contacted Notre Dames presi-
dent, the Rev. John Jenkins, to offer an
apology that was accepted, Brown said
Thursday in an email.

Injured Boston bombing suspect walking, mother says
MAKHACHKALA, Russia
The remaining suspect in
the Boston Marathon bomb-
ings has recovered enough to
walk and assured his parents in
a phone conversation that he
and his slain brother were in-
nocent, their mother told The
Associated Press on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the father of a
Chechen immigrant killed in
Florida while being interro-
gated by the FBI about his ties
to the slain brother maintained
that the U.S. agents killed his
son execution-style.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19,
walked without a wheelchair to
speak to his mother last week
for the rst and only phone con-
versation they have had since
he has been in custody, Zubei-
dat Tsarnaeva told the AP.
Ina rareglimpseat Dzhokhar
Tsarnaevs state of mind, he
told her he was getting better
and that he had a very good
doctor, but was struggling to
understand what happened,
she said.
He didnt hold back his
emotions either, as if he were
screaming to the whole world:
What is this? Whats happen-
ing?, she said.
The April 15 bombings killed
three people and wounded
more than 260. Elder brother,
26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
was killed in a shootout with
police, and Dzhokhar remains
in a prison hospital after being
badly wounded.
Anzor Tsarnaev, the suspects
father, said they had bought an
apartment for Tamerlan, his
wife, and their young daugh-
ter in the expectation that they
would move to Makhachkala
later this year.
Separately, at a news con-
ference in Moscow, the father
of a 27-year-old mixed martial
arts ghter who was killed dur-
ing FBI questioning accused
agents of being bandits who
executed his son.
Abdul-Baki Todashev
showed journalists 16 photo-
graphs that he said were of
his son, Ibragim, in a Florida
morgue. He said his son had
six gunshot wounds to his tor-
so and one to the back of his
head.
Father of man killed in
confrontation with FBI in Fla.
says son was executed.

Request to change life sentence is denied
WILKES-BARRE A Lu-
zerne County judge on Thurs-
day denied the request of a
man serving a life sentence for
the shooting death of his wife
to have his sentence reconsid-
ered.
Judge Tina Polachek Gart-
ley denied 38-year-old Don-
nell Buckners Post Conviction
Relief Act
(PCRA) re-
quest to over-
turn his sen-
tence due to
psychological
factors.
B u c k n e r
was convicted
of rst-degree
murder in June 2010 after a
bench trial before Polachek
Gartley in the March 2009 kill-
ing of 31-year-old Kewaii Rog-
ers Buckner.
Prosecutors say Buckner
fatally shot Rogers Buckner
inside her Lehigh Street home
in front of her young child.
Buckner had faced the death
penalty in the case, but avoided
that possibility by opting for a
bench trial before a judge.
Polachek Gartley immediate-
ly sentenced Buckner to life in
prison without parole.
In Buckners PCRA petition,
he referred to a June 2012 rul-
ing by the U.S. Supreme Court
that declared life sentences for
juveniles unconstitutional.
Even though Buckner was
35 at the time of Rogers Buck-
ners shooting, he asked that a
judge reconsider his sentence,
stating his life sentence was
unconstitutional based on his
psychological problems.
Buckner also stated his at-
torneys were ineffective in his
appeal to the state Superior
Court, which upheld Buckners
conviction and sentence, be-
cause they did not bring up the
psychological issue.
Buckners attorney, Jeffrey
Yelen, said Thursday at a hear-
ing that essentially he is trying
to establish a new constitution-
al right.
Yelen said he has no previ-
ous cases to rely on in his ar-
gument, only the U.S. Supreme
Courts decision.
Buckner appeared at the
hearing via video from the
State Correctional Institution
at Greene in Waynesburg.
Polachek Gartley said she
did not believe the U.S. Su-
preme Court ruling applied to
Buckners case. She had previ-
ously denied a request to ap-
point a psychological expert to
examine Buckner.
Yelen and Buckner have 30
days to appeal the judges deci-
sion.

MORE OBITUARIES, Page 9A
SCRANTON Two men
from Pittston pleaded guilty in
federal court this week to dis-
tributing more than 500 grams
of cocaine in Luzerne County,
the U.S. Attorneys Ofce said.
John Estock, 37, pleaded
guilty Thursday and Frank
Suriano, 44, pleaded guilty
on Tuesday to conspiracy to
distribute cocaine.
U.S. District Judge Edwin M.
Kosick accepted the guilty pleas
from Estock and Suriano.
U.S. Attorney Peter J. Smith
said the charges and guilty
pleas are part of a continuing
investigation into a Pittston-ar-
ea drug ring obtaining cocaine
in New York City for sale in
Luzerne County.
WILKES-BARRE A re
that heavily damaged the li-
brary and destroyed hundreds
of books at St. Nicholas-St.Mary
Elementary School was caused
by an electrical outlet, accord-
ing to an investigation by city
Fire Inspector Alan Klapat.
The re, discovered by a nun
leaving the convent at 5:22 a.m.,
could have been much worse,
Fire Chief Jay Delaney said.
The school has a strict policy
that re doors are to be kept
closed at all times; the re doors
prevented ames from spread-
ing into the computer lab and
possibly the main school build-
ing, Delaney said.
The schools library and com-
puter lab are in a modular class-
room separated from the main
school building on South Wash-
ington Street. A re wall in the
modular classroom separates
the computer lab and library.
The re was contained to the
library with smoke damage in
the computer lab, Delaney said.
God was very good to us
that no children were here and
no one was hurt, said Sister
Mary Catherine, principal at St.
Nicholas.
She said 385 students, from
pre-K to eighth grade, attend
the school.
Monsignor Joseph Rauscher
and Sister Catherine credited
the quick work by reghters in
extinguishing the blaze.
Fireghters encountered
heavy re and smoke coming
from the modular classroom.
The reghters did an excel-
lent job at containing the re
to one part of the building, he
said. Fortunately, the school
followed their policy in keep-
ing the re doors shut. We see
in many buildings where the
re doors are propped open.
Here is an example of why re
doors should be kept closed at
all times.
The library is a total loss with
hundreds of books destroyed,
Delaney said.
Rauscher said the school will
remain closed today.
Klapat determined the re
originated in an electrical outlet
located behind a bookshelf and
was not in use at the time of the
re.
The citys code enforcement
ofce along with the re depart-
ment inspected the main school
building, which sustained
smoke damage.

Dr. Jennifer Ann Sidari
May 29, 2013
J
ennifer Sidari, M.D., passed
away unexpectedly early
Wednesday morning, May 29,
2013, surrounded by family and
loved ones at Geisinger Medical
Center, Danville.
Jennifer was the eldest of three
children born to Peter and Patricia
(nee Nicholas) Sidari. Jennifer
graduated from Wyoming Area
High School in 2005 and went on
to attend the University of Scran-
ton, double majoring in biology
and philosophy, graduating sum-
ma cum laude in 2009.
Jen received a full scholarship
to The Commonwealth Medi-
cal College and was proud to be
a member of TCMCs charter
class. On May 11, 2013, Jennifer
achieved her dream of becoming
a doctor and was about to begin
her residency in pediatrics at the
Janet Weis Childrens Hospital in
Danville.
Despite Jennifers shortened
life, her accomplishments are in-
numerable. Jennifer was nation-
ally distinguished in her medical
education and was nominated
for the American Medical Asso-
ciations Physicians of Tomorrow
Award. Jennifer combined her
love for medicine with her passion
for travel by volunteering in chil-
drens hospitals and clinics around
the world.
Jennifers most recent adven-
ture took her to Haiti, where she
arrived with bags of medicine,
supplies and toys. Jennifer left
Haiti with only the clothes on her
back, donating all of her personal
items to those in need. This is one
example of many acts that earned
her The Commonwealth Medical
Colleges Global Pride Award, is-
sued in memory of Dr. Raymond
Smego, Jennifers mentor.
Jennifer shared many friend-
ships with people fromall chapters
of her life. Her infectious smile
and seless personality made it
impossible not to love her. Her
short life was lled with so much
depth and love and she will leave a
lasting impression on all of those
who had the privilege to knowher.
Jennifer was preceded in death
by her paternal grandparents, An-
thony P. Sidari, Esq. and his wife,
Ann, Hazleton; and her maternal
step-grandfather, Charles Strock,
Hemet, Calif.
In addition to her parents, Jen-
nifer is survived by her brother,
Peter Sidari, West Pittston; sister,
Victoria Sidari, West Pittston; ma-
ternal grandparents, Ms. Naoma
Strock, Hemet, and Mr. and Mrs.
James Nicholas, Groton, N.Y.;
many aunts, uncles and cousins.
She is also survived by her beloved
soulmate, John Brunza, Dunmore,
and their spoiled dogs, Isaac and
Penny Lane.
Calling hours will be held 2
to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at St.
Barbara Parish Center, 28 Memo-
rial St., Exeter. A Mass of Chris-
tian Burial will be held at 9:30
a.m. Monday at Corpus Christi
Parish at Immaculate Conception
Church, 605 Luzerne Ave., West
Pittston.
In lieu of owers, donations can
be made to the Jennifer Sidari,
M.D. Scholarship Fund at The
Commonwealth Medical College,
c/o Student Affairs Ofce, The
Commonwealth Medical College,

been entrusted to the Gubbiotti

Pair charged in credit card scheme
SWOYERSVILLE A hus-
band allegedly told investiga-
tors he was inuenced by the
movie Catch me if you Can in
a scheme he ran with his wife in
which he allegedly stole credit
card numbers to pay bills they
and their neighbors racked up.
Farouk Rivera, 44, of South
Franklin Street, was arraigned
late Thursday afternoon by
District Judge David Barilla in
Swoyersville on multiple counts
of identity theft and fraud. He
was jailed at the Luzerne County
Correctional Facility for lack of
$10,000 bail.
County detectives and Wil-
kes-Barre Township police are
searching for his wife, Sabrina,
47, on similar charges.
Investigators allege Sabrina Ri-
vera, while employed at Lord &
Taylor Distribution Center in the
customer service department,
accepted orders from customers
and stole credit card numbers for
several months, according to the
criminal complaint.
Sabrina Rivera, who worked
from her residence, in turn gave
the numbers to her husband, in-
vestigators alleged.
Lord & Taylor ofcials caught
on to the
scheme when
a customer
compl ai ned
about fraudu-
lent charges
on May 19 and
May 16.
The cus-
tomer said
$110 was charged to her card
to pay a Dish Network bill, and
$137 was charged to her card at
Phillys Phinest restaurant for a
food order, the complaint says.
Lord & Taylor ofcials traced
the phone number used to place
the food order to the Riveras.
Sabrina Rivera initially denied
having any involvement in the al-
leged scheme. Farouk Rivera told
Lord & Taylor ofcials he would
speak with them, but drove
away in his car. He returned to
the company on Highland Park
Boulevard at the urging of his
wife on May 24, according to the
complaint.
Farouk Rivera allegedly told
company ofcials he stole credit
card numbers from an estimated
71 customers out of 667 orders
processed by his wife, the com-
plaint says. He told investigators
he was inspired by the movie
Catch me if you Can.
