PLAINS TWP. When discussions rst arose of a potential casino opening in Plains Township a decade ago, opmachines that would not only keep property tax increases low, but also would benet Luzerne County municipalities nancially through grants for economic development and public-safety projects. Tom Tigue, a state House member at the time the slots bill was approved, said the thinking was the casino would bring heavy trafc and possibly the need for increased police presence to the state Route 315 corridor near the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. Those concerns did not materialize. Mike Bean, president of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said on average about 12,000 people visit the property daily, so hes sure that will have some degree of wear on area roadways. He said he is glad to know so many communities have been able to benet from the venue

Taxpayers have pumped $56.5 million into Luzerne Countys employee pension fund since 2002 to keep it stable, and the county still owes the fund a $5.6 million subsidy for last year and a projected $8.8 million for 2013.

Both options are expected to be discussed at Tuesdays county Retirement Board meeting. Employees have been required to contribute 5 percent of their salary into the pension fund since 1992, said county Retirement Coordinator Rick Hummer. The employee contribution has uctuated over the last few decades, he said. It was 5 percent from 1942 to 1952, 6 percent until 1970, 7 percent until 1988 and 8 percent through 1991. Bobeck pointed to the countys ve-year nancial recovery plan completed in 2009, which estimated the fund would receive about $1.5 million more annually by increasing the employee contribution to the maximum 8 percent permitted by law. Payments would increase a projected $1 million with a 7 percent employee contribution and $500,000 with a 6 percent payment. But Hummer cautioned the increased employee payments also will raise the pensions that must be paid down the road.

The Jackie Robinson tale 42 took in $27.3 million to claim the weekend box-ofce championship domestically, according to studio estimates Sunday. The lm has yet to open overseas, where the sport is a harder sell. But Cruise knocked it out

The lm stars Cruise as a workman on a devastated future Earth who lands in a battle with aliens. Released by Warner Bros., 42 easily beat the domestic start of an established franchise in Scary Movie 5.

Robert Emmett Wildes

April 13, 2013

obert Emmett Wildes, Mountain Top, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 13, 2013 surrounded by his loved ones. He was born April 27, 1920 in Wilkes Barre Township to Edward Michael Wildes and Mary Selma Finn. He was preceded in death by his wife of 66 years, Joan Harris Wildes. After playing baseball in the Minor League, he enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps, serving from December 1941 to November 1945. He was stationed at Bushy Park, England, at headquarters. There he met his future wife and life partner, Joan, and they were married in Teddington, England. The couple settled in Mountain Top in 1952. They were founding members of St. Judes Parish. Bob worked for John Hancock Insurance Co. for 27 years. He was an active member of the 109th Field Artillery, Pennsylvania National Guard, for 30 years. Robert Wildes is survived by three siblings, Edward Wildes, Dallas; Richard Wildes, Montpellier, Vt., and Alice Cook, Wilkes Barre Township; sister-in-law, Vivienne Schmeisser, Jacksonville, Fla.; eight children and their spouses, Donna Jarmiolowski, Mountain Top; Eileen and the late Richard Norkunas, Boonsboro, Md.; Robert Wildes Jr. and spouse Geraldine, Mountain Top; Vivienne Wildes and spouse Joseph Beddall, Washington D.C.; Brian Wildes and spouse Lynn, Coplay, Pa.; Valerie and spouse Jack Weigand, Mountain Top; Mary Alexandra (Mollie) Wildes and spouse Joseph Busacco, Moorehead City, N.C.; Edward Wildes, Mountain Top; 19 grand-

children, Mark, Todd and Eric Jarmiolowski; Ethan and Matthew Norkunas; Robert, Christinia and Valerie Wildes; Alexandra and Abigail Beddall; Brendan and Austin Wildes; Taylor, Alexis and Tesssa Weigand; Amber, Amanda and Anastasia Busacco, and Kathrine Wildes; and seven greatgrandchildren, Cara and Michael Jarmiolowski; Liam, Alyana and Hayden Martinchek; Olivia Marconi and Grady Weigand. Throughout his life, Bobs family was his priority; he had a special connection with each and every one. He was a generous father and grandfather, and loving husband. Bob was known for his booming voice, striking smile and great stride. He enjoyed baking and was well-known for his breads. His grandchildren loved to hear him whistle. A viewing will be held at McCune Funeral Home, Mountain Top, on Tuesday from 4 to 8 p.m. Funeral services will be at St. Judes Parish, Mountain Top, on Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. All those attending are asked to go directly to the church for the 1:30 p.m. Mass.

The study also looked at tax compliance in different industries, and found that people who own construction companies or real estate rental rms may be more likely to fudge their taxes than business owners in other elds. Many of the communities identied by the study are very wealthy, including Beverly Hills and Newport Beach in California. Others are more middle class, such as New Carrollton, Md., a Washington suburb, and College Park, Ga., home to a section of Atlantas massive airport. Steve Rosansky, president and CEO of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, said business owners in his city are probably targeted because many have high incomes. The likelihood of an audit does increase with income, according to IRS data. I imagine its just a matter of them going where they think the moneys at, Rosansky said in an interview. I guess if I was running the IRS Id probably do the same thing. The study focused on smallbusiness owners sole proprietorships, to be specic because they have more opportunity than the typical individual to cheat on their taxes. Many small businesses deal in cash while most individuals get paid in wages that are reported to the IRS. The IRS only audits about 1 percent of tax returns each year, so the agency tries to pick returns that are most likely to yield additional tax money. The IRS will not say much about how agents choose their targets. But as millions of procrastinators scramble to meet

todays deadline to le their taxes, the agency is running every tax return through a condential computer program to determine the chances of collecting more money from an audit. Each tax return is assigned a score. The higher your score, the more likely you are to get audited because, according to the IRS, the more likely you are cheating on your taxes. The score is called the Discriminant Inventory Function, or DIF. A high DIF score does not guarantee you are a tax cheat but the IRS claims its reliable. If your return is selected because of a high score under the DIF system, the potential is high that an examination of your return will result in a change to your income tax liability, says an IRS publication that explains the auditing process. handled by the countrys 55,000 licensed gun dealers. Private transactions, such as a sale of a gun between family members, would still be exempt. Manchin urged lawmakers to read the 49-page proposal. He said it should dispel any misconceptions about infringing on the constitutional right to bear arms. The senators agreement actually includes language expanding gun rights by easing some restrictions on transporting guns across state lines, protecting sellers from lawsuits if buyers passed a check but later used a gun in a crime and letting gun dealers conduct business in states where they dont live. If you are a law-abiding gun owner, youre going to like this bill, Manchin said. He acknowledged the vote would be tight. Asked how many votes he thought he had now, Manchin said: Well, were close. We need more.

How do you get high score? The IRS wont say, but veteran tax preparers and former IRS workers believe they have a pretty good idea. If youre reporting $8,000 of charitable contributions when youre only making $50,000, thats a red ag, said Bob Meighan, vice president of TurboTax, an online tax preparation service. Likewise if youre reporting business or employee expenses that are out of the ordinary for your income range, that would attract the interest of the IRS as well. The bottom line, according to the experts: People who take unusually large deductions for their income get a high score. Also, business owners who claim unusually large expenses for the size and type of their business get a high score. I had a case here where the person made about $40,000 and they claimed $25,000 of employment-related expenses, said Elizabeth Maresca, a former IRS lawyer who now teaches law at Fordham University. Most people dont spend $25,000 to earn $40,000. Thats an unusual number. DIF scores can vary across industry, according to the study by the taxpayer advocate. For example, people who owned construction and real estate rental companies were more likely to have high scores. Lawyers, accountants and architects and people who provided other professional services were more likely to have low scores. Olsen said construction and real estate rental companies probably deduct more expenses that are not independently reported to the IRS. The IRS does not like those kinds of expenses because they are harder to verify without an audit. Construction for sole proprietors has been historically a cash business, Olsen said. The compromise, if successful, would be added to broader gun control legislation to strengthen laws against illegal gun trafcking and to increase slightly school security aid. Other additions to the legislation also are expected to be debated this week, including a measure that would allow concealed hand gun permits issued by one state to be accepted nationwide as a de facto background check. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said in news show interviews that concealed weapons permits should be applied nationally. He also called for more prosecution of people that are trying to buy guns and fail a background check. The Senate is also expected to consider, and reject, Democratic amendments to ban assault weapons and ammunition magazines carrying more than 10 rounds.

HAZLETON Local artist David Corrado was inspired to leave a lasting legacy for his fellow church members at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, so he set about using his considerable talents to follow his inspiration. Corrado recently presented a painting titled The Way, depicting the travail of Jesus Christ as he ascends Mount Calvary to the local congrega-

tion. It proudly hangs in the churchs Chapel of the Apostles. According to Corrado, the 8-by-6-foot acrylic on birch wood painting was inspired by Italian Renaissance artist Giovanni Tiepolos famous work Christ Carrying His Cross and is a tribute to the original work and not an exact rendition. The artist explained that his cousin Dominique Chirico was actually the inspiration for Mary Magdalene, depicted in the painting cradling the grieving Virgin Mary. There are a number of original ideas represented in

the painting, said Corrado, a Penn State University graduate. I have always loved Renaissance and religious art, so completing this painting and donating it to the church was a two-year labor of love for me, he said. Corrado said that he was honored that the churchs council approved his request in 2011 to begin the painting project. He said that this piece represents the sum contributions of many local craftsman and benefactors who provided materials, framing and lighting to the completed work. I think this painting is a

The Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza provided the venue for motorcycle enthusiasts to display their outrageous rides on Sunday at the 17th annual NEPA Motorcycle and PowerSports Show. Sponsored by the Wyoming Valley Motorcycle Club and Valley with a Heart Benets organization, the event offered more than 1,500 visitors the opportunity to gather and look over

sweet machines and accessories while supporting the Wyoming Valley Childrens Association. The arena oor was lined with 32 bikes from proud owners happy to show off their shiny two- and threewheelers as they competed in four categories: street stock, street custom, choppers and vintage (30 years and older), said motorcycle club president Paul Grey.

Ofcials take another look at gnat problem

The Luzerne County administration is rethinking plans to cancel participation in a state bug spraying program, sources say. County management eliminated $75,000 from the 2013 budget for blacky spraying because the state did not supply documentation showing the program has proven results. The administration had planned to conduct spraying in-house if problems surfaced. However, some County Council members and citizens expressed concern about pulling out of the program. Prior commissioners considered a similar spraying cancellation on the advice of an outside nancial recovery consultant in 2010, but they reversed their decision after the state warned the Susquehanna River generates tremendous numbers of adult gnats that will adversely impact out-

HANOVER TWP. John Basar is a local boy at heart. He grew up at 3 Crystal St., Hanover Township, and, as a boy, worked on a farm on the Nanticoke ats for 45 cents an hour. At age 14, he left that job for a landscaping gig that paid 75 cents, a decision that would eventually lead him to start his own landscaping business in 1958. That business would go on to become Hanover Nursery. Fiftyve years later, it is now the longest-running business in Hanover Township. Last week, the township Board of Commissioners presented a proclamation honoring Basar for his decades of service to the community. And Basar? Now 75 years old, he lives at 5 Crystal St., right next to the house he grew up in. As a child we were raised to love God, love our country and love our community, Basar said, explaining why his roots run so deep. This area is special to me. The community is special. Evidence of that can be seen not only in the name of Basars company or the choice to make Crystal Street his lifelong home, but also in his charitable support of organizations such as the Hanover Township Little League and the Hanover Township Lions Club, the latter of which Basar has been a member for nearly 50 years. It was Hanover Nursery that originally planted and maintained the Lions Clubs Christmas trees at the Hanover Township crossroads. Last year, Basar removed the old trees and planted new ones. In life, if you receive and youre lucky enough to make it to my age in fair health, its only right that you give back some, he says. Notable non-charity Hanover Nursery projects have included the re-landscaping of WilkesBarres Public Square after the Agnes Flood in 1972 and the conversion of the nursery elds behind Basars property into the 13 home lots that make up the residential street community of Sunset Drive in Hanover Town-

The big cool-down Kym Bowen of Nacogdoches, Texas, reacts to a spray of icy water after her heat in the Red Dirt Mud Run in Nacogdoches on Saturday. The 5K, cross-country event attracted about 600 participants and was hosted by the Nacogdoches Jaycees Club with proceeds going to support the clubs charitable programs.

MOGADISHU, Somalia A barrage of bullets and two car bomb blasts rattled Mogadishu on Sunday when nine al-Shabab Islamic extremists stormed Somalias main court complex, ofcials said, in a two-hour attack that shows the countrys most dangerous militant group may be down but not defeated. A preliminary death toll stood at 16, including all nine

attackers. The government didnt immediately publicize the number of security forces, government employees and civilians who died during the attack. The assault was the most serious in Mogadishu since alShabab was forced out of the capital in August 2011. Al-Shabab controls far less territory today than in recent years, and its inuence appears to be on the decline, but Sundays attack proved the extremists are still capable of pulling off wellplanned, audacious assaults. The top U.N. ofcial for Somalia, Augustine P. Mahiga, said he was shocked and outraged by the attack. Ma-

higa said the total number of dead wasnt clear, but that reports indicated that many innocent civilians were killed including women and at least one child. The attack on the Supreme Court complex began at around 12:30 p.m., sparking running battles with police and army forces. One car bomb detonated outside the court, and gunmen were seen on the roof of a court building ring shots, an Associated Press reporter at the scene said.

Woman dies in avalanche

SNOQUALMIE PASS, WASH.

A woman who had been buried in 5 feet of snow has died, and one man was still missing Sunday morning after a pair of spring avalanches struck separate groups hiking in the mountains east of Seattle, authorities in Washington state said. Sgt. Katie Larson, with the King County Sheriffs Ofce, said a team of rescuers worked through the night in blizzard-like conditions to carry the female snowshoer off the mountain just after midnight. She was not moving and had been in and out of consciousness. Medics conrmed that she had died when they reached the base of the mountain, Larson said. The woman, whose identity was not known, had been hiking with her dog near a group of a dozen other people Saturday afternoon when an avalanche hit Red Mountain near Snoqualmie Pass east of Seattle.

Tourists welcome in N. Korea

Sunday. Pyongyang crowds lined the streets to watch athletes from 16 nations compete in the 26th Mangyongdae Prize Marathon in the morning and then lled a performance hall for a gala concert featuring ethnic Korean performers brought in from China, Russia and Japan as part of a slew of a events culminating in Kims birthday called the Day of the Sun. After racing through the capital, the foreign athletes and hundreds of North Korean runners were cheered into Kim Il Sung Stadium by tens of thousands of North Korean spectators. North Koreas ofcial media said the marathon was larger than previous years and that enthusiasm was high among local marathoners and their coaches as never before. The feeling is like, I came last year already, the situation is the same, said Taiwans Chang Chia-che, who nished 15th. Showing off foreign athletes and

A tour bus carrying visitors from Yosemite National Park was traveling at an unsafe speed when the driver lost control and crashed on a mountain road, leaving 16 people injured, the California Highway Patrol said Sunday. The bus was about six miles outside of the south entrance of the park when it went off Highway 41, a winding mountain road when it crashed about 6 p.m. Saturday. It came to a stop when it hit a tree, CHP Ofcer Scott Jobinger said. Fifteen passengers and a tour guide suffered minor to moderate injuries.

Police: Bus going too fast

PYONGYANG, North Korea Despite North Koreas warnings that the threat of war on the Korean Peninsula is so high it cannot guarantee the safety of foreign residents, it literally trotted out athletes from around the world on Sunday for a marathon through the streets of its capital suggesting its concerns of an imminent military crisis might not be as dire as its ofcial pronouncements proclaim. As it prepares to celebrate its most important holiday of the year, the birthday of national founder Kim Il Sung today, the mixed message threats of a thermonuclear war while showcasing foreign athletes and even encouraging tourism was particularly striking on

performers as part of the birthday celebrations has a propaganda value that is part of Pyongyangs motivation for highlighting the events to its public, even as it rattles its sabers to the outside world. In recent weeks, Pyongyang has said it could not vouch for the safety of foreigners, indicated embassies consider evacuation plans and urged foreigners residing in South Korea to get out as well. But there does not appear to be much of a sense of crisis among the general population, either. Pyongyang residents are mobilizing en masse for the events marking the birthday, rushing to tidy up streets, put new layers of paint on buildings and erect posters and banners hailing Kim, the grandfather of the countrys new dynastic leader, Kim Jong Un. Pyongyangs statements are commonly marked by alarming hyperbole and it has not ordered the small number of foreigners who are here to leave.

Obamas income is down

President Barack Obama made less in 2012 than in any other year since taking ofce, with about 40 percent of the nearly $609,000 in income that he and rst lady Michelle Obama reported coming from book sales. Obama, who renewed his call for higher taxes on the wealthy in the budget he released Wednesday, paid $112,214 in taxes last year, putting his effective federal tax rate at 18.4 percent. The Obamas donated almost one-quarter of their income to charity, helping to lower their overall tax bill, according to tax returns released by the White House. Most of the $608,611 that the Obamas reported in adjusted gross income came from the presidents salary, as he reported $394,840 in wages. An additional $258,772 came from royalties from his books, including his 1995 memoir Dreams From My Father, his 2006 political book, The Audacity of Hope, and a 2010 childrens book, Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters. The president and Mrs. Obama signed their tax returns on Monday one week before todays deadline for Americans to le their 2012 returns.

Rubio takes to TV to promote immigration bill

GOP senator says legislation provides a way for people to apply for legal status.
By BRIAN BENNETT McClatchy Tribune

WASHINGTON Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., appeared on seven television shows Sunday to defend the immigration bill being written by four Republican and four Democratic senators. Rubio said the draft legislation provides a way for those in the country unlawfully to apply for legal status, includes stiff penalties for breaking the law and will make the countrys border more secure than ever. I just hope that I can convince people that leaving things the way they are

now is much worse than approaching it the way weve outlined, Rubio said on ABC News This Week. Were not awarding anything. Rubio said on Fox News Sunday. Rubio, who was elected on a wave of tea party support and is a possible Republican presidential candidate, is considered to be the best chance the group has of selling the compromise to conservatives. He said that for immigrants who entered the country illegally to earn legal status, they will have to pass criminal background checks, prove they are gainfully employed and pay a penalty. Immigrants with this probationary status will have to wait 10 years before applying for permanent residency, he

said, and during that time, they wont qualify for food stamps or federal medical benets. It will be cheaper, faster

and easier for people to go back home and wait 10 years than (go through) this process. Thats why its not amnesty, Rubio said.

PITTSBURGH The head of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission says hes considering seeking a new fee on water extracted by industry and permanently removed from the environment. Commission executive director John Arway said that with a $9 million budget shortfall expected in 2017 at the agency, which is funded mostly by anglers and boaters, hes searching high and low for alternative funding, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Ofcials say a fee on consumptive use of water, with revenues going to the commission and the state Department of Environmental Protection, may have legal precedent and tentative bipartisan support. When people drink water or take a shower, its returned through the sewage system, Arway said. When farmers irrigate elds it drains back into the ground. The Pennsylvania Constitution says we, the citizens, own the water. Some of these companies take it out of the environment, use it for free and its gone, never returned to Pennsylvanias environment. The bottled water industry, for instance, pays nothing to remove the water that it treats, packages and mostly ships out of the state. The Marcellus Shale natural gas industry also extracts water for free, since the process of hydraulic fracturing pumps water so far below the water table it is rendered unusable. There are other industries that make similar permanent use of water, Arway said. Thats our water theyre taking for free, Arway said. Theyre stealing the resource from us, and that makes me mad. While land ownership in the western United States usually includes water rights, rules dating back to English common law in the eastern states including Pennsylvania reserve most owing water and its aquatic life in a trust owned by the citizens of the state. Arway cites a 1940s state law requiring dredging companies that remove sand and gravel from the Allegheny and Ohio riverbeds to compensate the state as a precedent for a new regulation that would compensate the state for permanent extraction of water. A resolution introduced in the state Senate would allocate money to study the issue and recommend a fee structure for permanent use and degradation of water.

HANOVER TWP. The state police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement issued a gamblingrelated citation to Tubbie s Place Inc., doing business as Tubbies on South Main Street. The bureau said the alleged violation of the state liquor code occurred on Jan. 31. The charge will be brought before an administrative law judge who can impose a ne, suspend or revoke the liquor license. WILKES-BARRE City police reported the following: * A bullet struck a residence on Carey Avenue early Sunday morning. A woman who lives at there said she heard a loud bang around 3:30 a.m. Later that morning she saw that the bullet passed through the glass pane of the main entry door and lodged in the wooden interior door. * Mathew Phillips of Kingston was cited with disorderly conduct after an altercation at OSullivans Bar on South Main Street around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. Phillips was injured in the altercation and was taken by city ambulance to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for treatment.

* A Jermyn man said a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson Special revolver was stolen from his Jeep while it was parked at the Arena Bar and Grille on Coal Street on Saturday night. * Kelly Stead was taken into custody Saturday morning after security personnel at Schiels Market on Hanover Street said Stead tried to leave the store without paying for a copy of the New York Post newspaper. Police said security personnel saw Stead hide a copy of the Post inside a copy of The Times Leader, pay for The Times Leader and attempt to leave. Stead was stopped before leaving the store, taken by police to headquarters, processed and released, police said. * A woman told police Saturday morning that her purse was stolen at the Hardware Bar on South Main Street. The woman said she left her purse on the bar and went to dance with a friend. When she returned from dancing the purse was gone. * Robert Reitmeyer was cited with public drunkenness Friday after police said they found him intoxicated in a restroom at the intermodal center on South Washington Street. Reitmeyer smelled of alcoholic beverage,

had slurred speech and was stumbling and talking to himself when police arrived around 11:40 a.m., police said. Police said he was taken to headquarters and held until sober. HANOVER TWP. Township police reported the following: * Donna Baldrica was cited with public drunkenness Saturday while she allegedly was intoxicated in the parking lot of Hanover Beverage on South Main Street. * Donald Price of Tomko Avenue said the wire to his video surveillance camera was cut between 11:30 p.m. Friday and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. * Denise Ceppa of the Buttonwood section of the township reported damage to the front left fender of her Chevrolet SUV from six BBs or pellets while it was parked in her driveway on April 6, police said. BUTLER TWP. A tractortrailer driver lost control when he reached for his phone and crashed Sunday on Interstate 81, state police said. Jovan Ignjatic, 28, of Des Plaines, Ill., was wearing a seat belt and not injured in the

wreck. State police said Ignjatic tried to regain control of the tractortrailer and over corrected, crossing both northbound lanes, traveling through the grass median and across both southbound lanes. The truck hit a guide rail and continued down an embankment, coming to rest on its side. State police said Ignjatic was issued a trafc citation. HAZLETON City police reported the following: * Two basement windows were smashed around 3:30 p.m. Sunday at a building on West Oak Street. The property is owned by Michael Kaleta of Mt. Carmel. * Police are investigating a hit-and-run that occurred around 11:45 p.m. Saturday and damaged a 2008 Cadillac CTS4 owned by Paula Koziol. The Cadillac was parked in the 300 block of West Maple Street. * A wheeled, electric air compressor was found around 9:55 a.m. on Lee Court, between West Fern and West Spring streets. To claim the compressor, contact the Hazleton Police Department at 570-459-4940 with proof of ownership.

program should be operational July 1, Lawton told council. The administration says the system will improve the tracking and reporting of county funds. * County Controller Walter Grifth clashed with Councilman Rick Morelli Tuesday when Grifth asked if Morelli has kept his campaign promise to donate his $8,000 council salary to charity. Morelli said he has donated the money to charity and said its a shame Grifth is questioning the matter. Im doing a hell of a good job. Thank you, Morelli said. * County Council candidate Renee Ciaruffoli-Taffera, Larksville, told council Tuesday it needs a process to independently interpret the countys home rule charter when something is unclear. She said a county staff solicitors opinion could be viewed as biased toward the manager or council. She also challenged a recent published charter interpretation from Kingston attorney Jim Haggerty, saying he was only one of 11 charter drafters. Haggerty recently said the

charter doesnt require the countys budget/nance division head to live in the county to be eligible to serve on the county retirement board. He said a charter section specifying board appointees must be county residents applies only to non-employee citizens because the charter has no residency requirement for the eight division heads. * Richard Kick Heffron, Dallas, a council candidate and charter drafter, told council members they are going against the charter and its intent if they allow budget/nance head Richard Cardamone, Archbald, to serve on the retirement board. The new budget director may be the greatest guy in the world, but this is subverting the charter, Heffron said. * Councilwoman Elaine Maddon Curry questioned the status of consolidating county bank accounts. A reduction in the countys roughly 700 to 100 bank accounts was promised under home rule. Lawton said the administration is reviewing proposals from nancial institutions. * Council appointed Gregory Koons, Mountain Top, to the Workforce Investment Board last week.

Rick Temarantz, president of Valley with a Heart Benets, said his group was happy to partner with the motorcycle club as a way to help seriously ill children. Events like this t into our mission statement, Temarantz said. The two groups work together on a regular basis for various community benets

programs, he said. It is a good marriage. Bikers love kids, Grey pointed out though admitting many who see them on the streets might not think so. Besides the fundraising effort, Grey emphasized how some of the bikes on display represented some of the best he has seen. The one that topped his list of the most spectacular was named Boss Hog and was made with the rear-end of a 1957 Chevy and sported a fullsized Chevy engine. Kathleen Williams, executive

director for the childrens association, thanked the both clubs, event sponsor M & T Bank and all the participants for their generosity with this annual event. We are truly grateful to be the beneciaries, William said. We rely on their generous contributions to help bridge our funding gap.

HE CoNTINuouS rise in the number of people infected with the new strain of bird u means the authorities must be relentless in their efforts to ght the virus and a nationwide information network needs to be established to prevent it spreading. The three new cases that were conrmed recently mean the number of people infected with the H7N9 virus has risen to 24 since the rst case was reported in Shanghai on March 31. Seven of them have died. The H7N9 strain is a form of avian u not previously found in humans and given there are still uncertainties surrounding the virus, such as its exact origin and transmission channels, the growing number of human infections is causing increasing concern. Whether the outbreak can be

swiftly and effectively curbed is a severe test of the governments ability to handle public health emergencies. After the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in China in the spring of 2003, the Chinese health authorities were accused of initially trying to cover up the disease. Encouragingly, the authorities seem to have learned the necessary lessons from the SARS outbreak and they have adopted a non-evasive and transparent attitude toward the H7N9 infections from the very beginning. That there is no evidence of human-to-human transmission means that it should be possible to contain the H7N9 virus if effective measures are taken to prevent contact between infected birds and humans.

Foodshortagesinthefuture? General Motors gets it right the second time around

MERICAN households, according to a speaker at the American Chemical Societys meeting in New orleans, throw away 40 percent of the food they buy. Globally, the story is much the same. A study by the uK Institution of Mechanical Engineers found that somewhere between 30 percent and 50 percent of all the food grown in the world never makes it to the plate. up to 2 billion tons of food is devoured or tainted by rats, mice and other pests, or perishes in granaries, or is discarded by buyers because it doesnt meet supermarket standards. That so much food is grown, distributed and sold every day is a reminder that free markets can effectively deliver whatever people can afford. That so much is shamefully wasted when so many people go hungry is a reminder that free markets do not and cannot trade in what George orwell, in the hungry depression years, called justice and common decency. But food security is not just a problem for the poor. It will become, increasingly, a problem for everybody. That is because of population growth. Every day, there are another 220,000 mouths to feed. By 2030, the world will be home to eight billion people; by 2050, there will be nine billion. There is only so much you can expect from photosynthesis. That per capita income for hundreds of millions of once-poor people in Asia and Africa has risen is good news. The bad news is that the world appetite for meat is also rising, which pushes up the price and reduces the supply of wheat, rice, maize and other staples for the poorer communities. Huge tracts of the planet are already experiencing water stress. The oil that fuels the worlds tractors is a nite resource; cheap phosphorus fertilizer cannot be guaranteed indenitely. According to the u.N., 2013 could turn out very badly. Food, either wasted on the plate or withered in the soil, is a problem for the worlds politicians, and one that becomes increasingly ominous, everywhere, with each successive harvest.

Push check body checking

from being checked into the boards, while another 10 percent resulted from being checked from behind. It suggests that we must seriously consider the advisability of any form of body checking, particularly among younger children. Different sports need to be targeted in different ways. For example, ensuring padded and mobile xed structures, along with reduced contact, might be benecial in football, basketball and rugby, while enforcing nostand zones and the possible use of helmets might help in baseball. The authors suggest that sport-specic education be aimed at players, coaches, trainers, ofcials and parents at all levels.

N RECENT years, weve heard a great deal about brain injuries in sports, particularly among children. So it might come as a surprise to learn that we know next to nothing about exactly how those injuries are caused. This is precisely what neurosurgeon Michael Cusimano and his colleagues at St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto are trying to do. In a study published in the current issue of the open access journal PRoS one, they used data from the Canadian Hospital Injury Reporting and Prevention Program to determine the cause of brain injuries among ve- to 19-year-olds playing ice hockey, soccer, football, basketball, baseball and rugby between 1990 and 2009. And about one-third of all brain injuries in hockey occurred

IN APRIL 2010, General Motors Chairman EdWhitacre announcedthatGM would pay back $8.1 billion ingovernment loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from u.S. treasury ofcers as well. of course, much of the $52 billion loaned to General Motors by the federal government and the $1.4 billion loaned to General Motors by the Canadian government has been converted to stock, which you and I as taxpayers own. This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson. Quite frankly, that lesson needed to be learned. In 1983, when I moved to Tarrytown, N.Y., I could see much of the Tarrytown General Motors plant as I boarded the Hudson Line for my daily commute into New York City. The plant was the oldest continually operating automobile factory in the country. Initially constructed in 1900, the Mobile Company of America built the rst steam-operated automobiles there. In 1903, the facility was bought by Benjamin Briscoe, who used it to start the Maxwell-Briscoe Motor Company. The Maxwell brand some of you may remember that Jack Benny drove one survived and production was moved to Detroit. The Tarrytown plant, though, was sold to William C. Durant in 1914 as a site to produce his new Chevrolet automobile. After more than 80 years of continuous operations, the plant was closed in March 1996. Much of the rationale for closing the plant was that it was expensive and difcult to operate a manufacturing facility in what had become a bedroom community for New York City. But the reasons were deeper than that, and I saw them rsthand. Steeped in the history of the Hudson River, Tarrytown had always been tied commercially and for others reasons to the Hudson River. one of the more pleasant

MICAHEL MACDOWELL
attributes of the town was several boat clubs. I docked a small 20-foot day sailor at the Washington Irving Boat Club, located almost under the Tappen Zee Bridge, and I enjoyed many pleasant days sailing on the river. The Washington Irving Boat Club contained two classes of members: B members, like myself, had few mechanical abilities, and were more than pleased to pay higher annual dues than did the A members. A members could literally x about anything at the club, and did so, on a regular basis. The commodore of the club was always present, even on week days, and even though he had a full-time job at the Tarrytown Plant. He was a GM foreman. Commodore Jack, as we called him, kept a walkie-talkie on his belt there were no cell phones in 1983. When there was a problem at the plant, he would be called, report in, and then quickly return to the job he obviously loved the most, keeping the Washington Irving Boat Club in good order. As a foreman, and a long-time employee, he no doubt was making a good hourly wage, and of course enjoyed the wonderful benets provided to all GM employees. It was obvious that Jacks approach to work, and that of his management supervisors, who allowed him to work part time while pulling down full-time pay, was problematic. Instead of addressing these issues, GM ofcials were spending signicant amounts of time in Washington lobbying for heavy tariffs on Japanese cars to stave off competition. The GM plant employees backed up this strategy 100 percent. There were signs in the plants parking lot, such as, this parking lot is reserved for American vehicles only. Even though high tariffs made Japanese cars more expensive, their quality clearly surpassed that of American automobiles in the early 1980s.

COMMENTARY

I wanted to support my GM neighbors, so I bought a slightly used 1979 Buick Skylark, which had been manufactured at the Tarrytown plant. It was, without a doubt, the worse car I have ever owned. Among the cars idiosyncrasies was that the headlights would turn themselves off without warning. This usually occurred on a dark road in the middle of the night. The fact that a foremen in a General Motors plant could physically leave the facility for hours at a time during the work day and still draw a salary and benets, should have told me not to buy the car. The loss of quality and productivity, coupled with the tremendous increase in benets awarded to GM employees, created a tsunami that broke when the Japanese tariffs were lifted. At the same time, GMs cost of doing business had skyrocketed. By 2005, for example, $1,300 of the price from every GM car sold went to pay for the health care benets of its retirees. The wrenching recession of 2008 from which we are still recovering, was an awful experience for the country and for many GM employees. If there is a silver lining today, it is that American companies have learned to do more with less. American automobile workers today are signicantly more productive than they were in 1983. The quality of American automobiles has increased signicantly, and workers take much greater pride in them. This phenomenon bodes exceedingly well for the future, of not only car companies, but the American economy in general. American taxpayers continue to own some of General Motors. If you hold retirement accounts, you probably own even more. With our help, GM is clawing its way back to prosperity and to its rightful place as one of the best car companies in the world. Hopefully the Commodore Jacks of the world, and the managers that facilitated their approach to work, are sailing off into the sunset.

The Mohegan Sun Casino in Plains Township has been a source of fun, excitement and more for visitors, and a nancial source for municipalities countywide.

in so many ways. A lot of positives have come out of it, Bean said. So while some concerns have been alleviated and some municipalities have beneted by a change in the law that was inserted when table games were approved in 2010, there has been one constant throughout the past ve years: Plains Township, as the host municipality to the casino, has ben-

eted greatly. Part of the original law included language that guaranteed the township the greater of $10 million or 2 percent of the slots machine gross. However, the provision also capped the amount at 50 percent of the townships municipal revenue, which was about $6.65 million when the law was approved. So the township gets approximately $3.325 million annually and the additional funds, typically about $6 million, are added to the pot to be allocated as local share grants annually to municipalities throughout

Luzerne County. But the law didnt exclude Plains Township from applying for these competitive grants as well. And so it has, successfully. The township has been awarded money each of the ve years the grant program has been in place, including $1 million each year toward the remediation of the East Side Landll, which is actually on casino property. The township also sought, and received, $400,000 for an expansion project at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center and more than $1 million for East Mountain Drive road

improvements. Township Commissioner Ron Fillipini said the township of 11,000 has not seen a township tax increase since the rst dollar bill or voucher was fed into a slot machine at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs. He said that, in addition, the money has been used for emergency services, infrastructure improvements and township equipment purchases. The casino is not only the largest employer in the township, but with 1,688 staffers its the largest private employer in Luzerne County. clothes and shoes that cost more than $50. She also believes some ambiguous language remains in the bills, which were introduced with nearly identical language in previous years but never made it to the oor for votes. For example, she said, ofcials with the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association have complained that it was unclear exactly which items would be taxed in the newspaper industry. Another major concern, Mundy said, is a funding gap between the new revenue generated and property tax revenue. The Independent Fiscal Ofce estimated a funding gap of $1.5 billion while the state Department of Revenue put it at $3.5 billion, she said, adding that she has requested estimates on a funding gap for the new bills from both agencies. Like Carroll, Mundy said she absolutely supports a shift to sales and personal income taxes. But the devil is in the details. Those of us who are strong supporters of education have a problem with funding gaps, Mundy said. Pluses and minuses Dave Baldinger, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Coalition of Taxpayer Associations, said that when the bills were crafted, data was based on the governors 2012-13 budget and the House Appropriations Committee staff. We knew they may not be absolutely accurate, he said. But, Baldinger said, there would be no gap. He said the

County ofcials must weigh the impact of that increased liability against the benets of receiving more cash in the fund now, he said. Hummer said he has requested impact projections from the pension fund actuary to help the board review options. County contribution The amount the county pays into an employees pension is tallied by multiplying an employees nal average salary by years of service and a percentage known as the benet factor, Hummer said. Bobeck is suggesting lowering the factor. This benet factor has been 1.429 percent since 1988, Hummer said. It was increased from 0.833 percent to 1 percent in 1952 and to 1.25 percent in 1970. Hummer said a lower rate would apply only for the years after the change is enacted. This means the portion of an employees pension calculated before a change must be based on the prior percentage. A decrease in the factor would be uncharted territory because the county has only increased the percentage in the past, ofcials say. Bobeck said funds advisers have wisely chosen investment mixes to rebuild the fund, which is valued at around $204 million, but investment earnings alone wont close the gap between assets and liabilities that forces taxpayers to subsidize it. Theres really not much the IFOs $1.5 billion gure was a result of a $341 million telecommunications line item being omitted and an earned-income tax rate of 4.01 percent in the previous years proposed bills; the $1.61 billion remaining shortfall would be covered by making the earned income tax rate 4.34 percent. He said the state Department of Revenue didnt do the detailed analysis the IFO did. At best, (the Department of Revenue) gave it a casual glance. Baldinger also said teachers unions oppose the legislation, but they are being short-sighted. He said the legislation will make it difcult for teachers to get 3 to 5 percent salary increases, but in the long run, it will help school districts avoid teacher layoffs because their budgets will be tied to the ination rate. As for big businesses getting another tax break, Baldinger asks, What does it matter, as long as virtually every homeowner in the state stands to save money on their tax bill? Winners and losers? Eliminating school property taxes also could boost home sales as well as lead to lower rents for renters, Baldinger said. Baldinger also said passing the legislation would force legislators to address and x the disparities in the education funding system that favors richer school districts, something administrators in poorer districts have been requesting for years. And, he said, passing the legislation would force legislators to

Last year, within the employees countys contributed control $3.8 million into the fund, has to be a decrease of examined. $216,814 from Jim Bobeck the previous Luzerne County year, Hummer Council chairman said. While future pension payouts will increase if employees are required to pay more, the county can attempt to offset that cost with investment earnings, he said. Councilman Eugene Kelleher, who serves on the retirement board, told council members the options will be thoroughly discussed. Council Chairman Tim McGinley, deputy sheriff John Evanchick and county Manager Robert Lawton also serve on the board. County Budget/Finance Division Head Richard Cardamone is slated to join the board when he starts work later this month. x the disparities in the education funding system that favors richer school districts, something administrators in poorer districts have been requesting for years. As for the expanded list of items that can be taxed, Baldinger noted that any food items funded in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) subsidized food program would not be taxed. Non-taxable items would still include fresh meats, produce, dairy and many packaged and canned foods in their natural form. According to coalition literature, spending $8,000 annually on clothing over $50 and nonWIC food combined, total sales tax would be $560. If thats less than ones school tax, they would realize a substantial reduction in overall tax burden. On the ip side, however, a homeowner who has a $50,000 salary and currently pays $500 in school taxes would see the school tax bill eliminated but would have to pay the state an additional $536 in annual earned income taxes plus more in sales tax under the proposed legislation. Initially, the legislation would most benet homeowners with low or xed incomes and more expensive homes. Assuming legislators did not further increase state sales or income taxes in the future, the legislation would benet all homeowners in the long run because school boards would not be allowed to increase taxes.

PETITION
Continued from Page 1A

D E TA I L S o F H B 76 A n D S B 76
The Property Tax Independence Act would: Eliminate all school property taxes for every homestead, farmstead and business. Increase the state sales tax from 6 to 7 percent. Expand the sales tax base to include goods and services currently exempt such as haircuts, movie theater tickets, some legal services, certain foods and some clothing items that exceed $50 in cost. Increase the state income tax from 3.07 percent to 4.34 percent. Be phased in over two years and allow a small portion, approximately 10 percent, of the property tax to remain in effect to cover long-term debt. The tax would be completely done away with once the debt is paid. Allow for the decrease of the earned income tax correspondingly if revenue exceeded the property tax total. Initially fund school districts 100 percent, and increases would be tied to the rate of ination. Permit school districts to tax personal income or earned income at a higher rate to pay for major projects, but only if the tax is approved in a no-exception referendum.

replace school property tax revenue by increasing the state sales tax from 6 to 7 percent, expanding the sales tax base of items that could be taxed and increasing the earned income tax from 3.07 to 4.34 percent. Support and some doubts The bills enjoy bipartisan support from some local legislators, including state Reps. Tarah Toohil, R-Butler Township; Karen Boback, R-Harveys Lake, and Jerry Mullery-D, Newport Township, and state Sens. John Yudichak, D-Plymouth Township, and Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township. But, Urban told the WilkesBarre group, state Reps. Eddie Day Pashinski, Phyllis Mundy and Mike Carroll have not signed on as cosponsors. In addition to delivering copies of petitions signed by those representatives constituents to their ofces, Urban said he intends to deliver the originals to ranking legislators in Harrisburg. Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, did not return messages left at his ofce seeking comment. Carroll, D-Plymouth Township, and Mundy, D-Kingston, rattled off a number of problems they have with the legislation. Raising questions Carroll said his declining an invitation to cosponsor HB76 was in no way an indication of my support of or opposition

to the bill. There are plenty of questions I need to have answered, such as whether or not the income generated will offset the income lost from school property tax. He also wants assurance that the Pittston Area and WilkesBarre Area school districts would get an amount of funding from the state equal to what they would get in property tax revenue. Current state education funding formulas provide disparate amounts of funding among school districts. Carroll and Mundy both pointed out the bills would wipe out school taxes for every property in the state including those of multimillion-dollar businesses and put the entire tax burden on individuals. Mundy noted corporations such as Walmart and Best Buy already pay no state income taxes because of tax loopholes.
Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport through 7 p.m. Sunday

The two lawmakers said they would like to see school property taxes eliminated for homeowners only, but that would require an amendment to the state Constitution, which Carroll said could take four or ve years because doing so requires votes in the legislature in two separate sessions as well as a voter referendum. And, they said, they would prefer to see more immediate relief for property owners through a bill that would reduce property taxes 50 percent, which would require no constitutional changes and would allow for more modest increases in sales and income taxes. Some number problems Mundy also has a problem with some of the additional items that would be subject to sales tax, such as textbooks, personal care services, legal services, non-prescription drugs and

Scott beats Cabrera in a playoff at Augusta

By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

NOT BELLY UP AGAIN

AHL HOCkEY

Team is in pursuit of home ice for the rst round of the playoffs with a week to go.
By ROBIN SHORT For The Times Leader

Penguins run unbeaten streak to 7

AUGUSTA, Ga. Adam Scott nished the job this time, and put an end to more than a half-century of Australian misery at the Masters. With the two biggest putts of his career, Scott holed a 20-footer for birdie on the 18th hole of regulation that put him into a playoff with Angel Cabrera, and then won his rst major championship Sunday with a 12-footer for birdie on the second extra hole. We like to think were the best at everything. Golf is a big sport at home, and this is the one thing in golf we hadnt been able to achieve, Scott said. Its amazing that its my destiny to be the rst Australian to win. Its incredible. Scott leaned back and thrust his arms in the air after the putt dropped on the 10th hole, a celebration for all of Australia and personal redemption for himself. It was only last summer when Scott threw away the British Open by making bogey on his last four holes to lose by one shot to Ernie Els. The 32-yearold handled that crushing defeat with dignity and pledged to nish stronger given another chance. Next time Im sure there will be a next time I can do a better job of it, he said that day. Scott was close to perfect, and he had to be with Cabrera delivering some brilliance of his own. Moments after Scott made his 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead Cmon, Aussie! he screamed Cabrera answered with an approach that plopped down 3 feet from the cup, one of the greatest shots under the circumstances. That gave him an easy birdie and a 2-under 70. They nished at 9-under 279. They both chipped close for par on the 18th in the rst playoff hole, and Cabreras 15-foot birdie putt on the 10th grazed the right side of the cup. With his long putter anchored against his chest, Scotts putt was true all the way. The Masters had been the only major that never had a champion use a long putter. Scotts win means four of the last six major champions used a putter pressed against their belly or chest, a

ST. JOHNS, Newfoundland Chad Kolarik scored just over two minutes into overtime to cap off a three-goal performance and give the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins a 5-4 win over the St. Johns IceCaps Sunday evening, stretching their unbeaten streak to seven games. The Pens clinched an American Hockey League playoff spot with a 3-0 blanking of the IceCaps Saturday night, a result which ofcially dashed any playoff hopes for the home side. Kolarik actually forced the extra session by netting the tying goal at 14:43 of the third period PENGUINS on a St. Johns turnover. In overtime, ICECAPS Kolarik scooped up a loose puck in the neutral zone, gained the St. Johns zone before wristing a shot that surprised IceCaps goalie Eddie Pasquale. It was Kolariks team-leading 31st goal on the year. The reason why were winning games, said Penguins coach John Hynes, is were doing certain things real well and thats what you want to have this time of year. Were gearing up for the playoffs and its good when things are automatic and your team is playing a certain way. Were a very condent group right now. Dominik Uher, who potted two goals in Saturdays win, and Trevor Smith also scored for the Penguins. Josh Lunden, Ray Sawada, Julian Melchiori and Will ONeill had the St. Johns markers. Kolarik and Lunden traded goals

RailRiders pick up rst road win in Buffalo as part of split

The Times Leader staff

BUFFALO -- The RailRiders avenged a 6-1 loss in the opener of a doubleheader against the Buffalo Bisons with a 12-5 victory in game two Sunday at Coca-Cola Field. Scranton/Wilkes jumped out to an early lead in the nightcap when Dan Johnson hit a sacrice y and Zoilo Almonte and Thomas Neal both ripped RBI singles to give the RailRiders a 3-0 advantage in the rst inning. After the Bisons erased the

decit in the second inning with four runs, the Bisons walked the bases loaded in the top of the third. Bobby Wilson delivered a clutch bases-clearing double to help Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre reclaim the lead. The RailRiders broke the game open in the fth inning, adding four more runs on a bases-loaded walk, a wild pitch and a elding error. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre added two insurance runs in the seventh on Luke Murton and Neal RBI singles.

WORkING fOR THE WEEkEND

The RailRiders are heading to Rochester to start a four-game series there Monday. The team is back in NEPA Friday, when an eightgame homestand opens with Syracuse in town at PNC Field.

Cody Eppley earned the victory on the mound for the RailRiders, striking out one and allowing no hits in 2 2/3 innings of work. The Riders ended up with multiple runs in four of the

seven innings played, and set season highs in runs (12) and hits (11). They also made the most of 11 walks issued by Buffalo pitching. Almonte nished with three hits, three runs and two driv-

en in. Neal had two hits and knocked in a run. Wilsons double was part of a four-RBI effort. In the opener, the RailRiders struck rst as Johnson ripped an RBI single to center to give Scranton/Wilkes-Barre a 1-0 lead in the top of the rst. The Bisons scored six runs in the bottom half of the inning and cruised to a victory. Dellin Betances gave up six runs, four hits and struck out

transfer gets Bennett back on track

By PAUL SOKOLOSKI psokoloski@timesleader.com

high SchOOl BOYS TrAck AND fielD preview

HOME
Continued from Page 1B

The thought of running on the track and eld team never crossed Parrish Bennetts mind. He stopped competing in the sport at his old school, and wasnt about to start up again at his new one. So when his Meyers schoolmates started bugging Bennett about getting his running game back on track, the small, speedy senior resisted. I hadnt done track since the 10th grade, Bennett said. I wasnt really thinking about doing it. Finally, he reconsidered. And the Mohawks are glad he did. They believe they can get a boost from Bennett, who was a star running back on the football eld when he played at Hanover Area before transferring to Meyers for his senior year. The Meyers boys track and eld team fell on hard times the past couple of seasons, and its hopes for improvement after last years 1-6 league nish

seemed to be falling at when a few key prospects were ruled ineligible this spring. That left some of the Mohawks bugging Bennett about participating. We persuaded him to come, Meyers coach Harlan Tabron said. His friends were able to convince him to come out. So far, Bennetts glad they did. Hell run 400-yard dash and compete in the long jump and high jump for Meyers. I feel like I have enough stamina to go in fullspeed most of the way, Bennett said. He also wants to go to college in the fall. And the track season may just help

him get there. Before arriving at Meyers, Bennett was a 1,000-yard running back at Hanover Area and the guy the Hawkeyes built their offense around. But the switch of schools during his senior season didnt quite produce the same results, as Bennett and the Mohawks struggled through the 2012 football season. Bennett isnt likely to be the biggest name on the Meyers track team, with Mohawks sprinter Joe Arnone coming in as the clearcut team leader while running the sports most exciting events - the 100-

yard dash, 200-yard dash and on a leg of the 400-yard relay team. If were going to do anything, its going to be because of him, Tabron said of Arnone. But this track thing, Bennett says, should get him in good enough shape to continue his football career. Its almost like the same thing, Bennett said. Its a good workout. On the track, hell see some familiar faces from the football eld lining up for opposing teams in Division II of the Wyoming Valley Conference including Wyoming Areas Nick OBrien and Northwests Tony Politz from the divisions defending co-champs and GARs Lucas Benton. But Bennett believes his Mohawks can give most of them a run for their money. I think we can surprise some people, denitely, Bennett said. I feel its a good team.

Coughlin coach Alice Lyons said. It feels good to have an actual home eld and we dont have to worry about anybody else using it. At Kirby Park, we always had to worry about slowpitch people coming in afterward. The new eld is cleaner and safer since theres no worries about a constant ow of vehicles in and out of a nearby parking lot like at Kirby Park. It also offers a good view of the game. We can practice any time we want, we can stay later if we need to, we can have JV games afterward, Lyons said. Its nice to have a home, lets put it that way. It gives the girls a sense of unity, a place they can say is theirs. It means a lot.

wvc BOYS TrAck AND fielD cApSUleS

DIvISION I Berwick State classication: 3A 2012 record: 0-7 Head coach: Bob Calarco Who to watch: Gavin Harter, shot put, throws; Arlent Mejia, sprints, middle distance; Jeff Steeber, jumps, sprints; Max Thomas, jumps, middle distance; Victor Guevara, distance; Chris Hampton, middle distance, high jump; Scott Dennis, hurdles. Calarcos outlook: We have a solid core of senior captains in Gavin Harter, Aldo Mejia and Jeff Steeber and an excellent group of middle and distance runners, led by Hampton and Guevara. Gavin Harter could dominate the throws. Jeff Steeber will be exciting to watch. Max Thomas is a leading point scorer returning. With fewer athletes out for the team this year, the boys will need to nd some depth to support a solid core of individuals in order to compete in dual meets. There is a talented group of sophomores and freshmen ghting for spots. Athletes are working very hard and have great attitudes in preparing for the challenges of the upcoming season. Coughlin State classication: 3A 2012 record: 6-1, 2nd in District Head coach: Paul McGrane Who to watch: Zac Evans, sprinter; Connor Flaherty, jumps; Corey Keen, jumps, relays; Pat Malone, sprints, jumps; Malik McDonald, hurdles; Matthew Moorhead, hurdles; Luke Slenzak, mid distance; Teddy Mykulyn, mid distance; Ryan Decenti, mid distance; Ruben Bourdeau, sprints; Anthony Khalife, throws; Pat Pilch, throws; Aaron Straight, pole vaults; David Sadvary, distance. McGranes outlook: It should be a very competitive league with Pittston, Dallas, WVW, Hazleton and Tunkhannock. We hope to be in the mix. Crestwood State classication: 3A 2012 record: 1-6 Head coach: Bill Reznak Who to watch: Jacob Walsh, hurdles, jumps; Nick McGuire, distance; Dominic Mack, sprints; Jason Cornelius, pole vaults; Ryan Schwartz, throws; Dylan Truschel, javalin. Reznaks outlook: Were just hoping to improve on last seasons record. Dallas State classication: 3A 2012 record: 7-0 Head coaches: Matt Samuel, Ed Radzinski Who to watch: Dominic DeLuca, distance; Dante Zurenda, sprints; Jason Simonovich, sprints, jumps, throws; Ryan Kozloski, sprints, jumps, throws; Drew Harding, sprints, jumps, throws. Samuels outlook: We lost quite a bit from our distance squad, which is usually one of our strengths. There are quite a few teams that will up for the conference title. Coughlin, Pittston, Hazleton and Tunkhannock are always tough. Theyre all pretty well-rounded and keeping up with them will certainly be a task.

to make it 1-1 after the opening 20 minutes, a period in which the Penguins outshot their hosts 13-6. Uher put the Pens up 2-1 just 2:53 into the second, pouncing on a rebound and swatting the puck past Pasquale on the backhand. The lead was shortlived as Sawada cashed in on a shorthanded breakaway at the 4:07 mark. The IceCaps took their rst lead when Melchiori netted his rst professional goal at 9:04, but Smith knotted the score 3-3 23 seconds after the Melchiori

ONeill gave St. Johns the lead once again at 11:54 of the third period, setting the stage for Kolarik to go to work and play the hero in St. Johns. Brad Thiessen stopped 19 shots to earn his 16th win on the year. The Penguins peppered Pasquale with 34 shots. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton has two remaining regular season games this Friday and Saturday at home against the Worcester Sharks and Manchester Monarchs before the post season begins, and Hynes likes how his team stacks up against Eastern Conference opponents. For starters, he said, were

pretty healthy right now. And I like the balance on our club. We have a different mix of players. Guys can play on all four lines, and all six defencemen can play in any situation and they can all contribute in their own way. I like the way we look right now. In the conference, the Providence Bruins are in the top spot with 99 points. The Springeld Falcons are also a division champion and sit second with 95 points. From the East Division, division-leading Syracuse is third in the conference with 93 points and Binghamton is one point behind.

stroke that might be banned in 2016. What mattered more to Scott was that the Masters had been the only major an Australian had never won. He was among dozens of golfers who routinely rose in the early hours of Monday morning for the telecast, only to watch a horror show. The leading character was Greg Norman, who had four good chances to win, none better than when he blew a six-shot lead on the last day to Nick Faldo in 1996. There was Jim Ferrier in 1952 and Bruce Crampton 20 years later. Scott and Jason Day tied for second just two years ago. Norman, though, was the face of Aussie failures at the Masters, and Scott paid him tribute in Butler Cabin before he slipped on that beautiful green jacket. Australia is a proud sporting nation, and this is one notch in the belt we never got, Scott said. Its amazing that it came down to me today. But theres one guy who inspired a nation of golfers, and thats Greg Norman. Hes been incredible to me

and all the great golfers. Part of this belongs to him. Scott was just as gracious in victory as he was last summer at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He and Cabrera ashed a thumbs-up to each other after their shots into the 10th hole in the playoff, and they walked off the 10th green with their arms around each other. Such is golf, Cabrera said. Adam is a good winner. It was a riveting conclusion to a week lled with some awkward moments. There was the one-shot penalty called against 14-year-old Guan Tianlang that nearly kept the Chinese teen from becoming the youngest player to make the cut. There was the illegal drop by Tiger Woods, who was given a twoshot penalty over questions and confusion about why he was not disqualied for signing an incorrect card. And at the end, there was shot-making at its nest. Scott didnt make a bogey after the rst hole, and he really didnt miss a shot the rest of the day on a rainy Sunday at Augusta. He just couldnt get a putt to fall until it really mattered. Then, he made two of them. Day closed with a 70, his second close call at the Masters in

DOYLESTOWN Caitlin Cromley compiled seven RBI to power the Misericordia softball team to a doubleheader sweep over Delaware Valley on Sunday with 2-1 and 11-3 victories. Cromley recorded two hits in the opener and drove in both RBI to lead the Cougars to a 2-1 win. Jess Armillay added a fourhitter from the circle to secure the victory for Misericordia. In game two, Cromley smashed a grand slam and a solo home run as Misericordia cruised to an 11-3 victory. The grand slam led a nine-run fourth inning that broke the game open for the Cougars. Melissa Parker, Andi Veneziale and Megan Gowe all added two hits apiece in the win. Wilkes dropped two heartbreakers in a doubleheader agaisnt FDU-Florham, losing 8-7 in the opener and 7-6 in eight innings in game two.

three years. This one hurt far more because he had a two-shot lead when he stepped to the 16th tee. He ran off three bold birdies down the stretch getting upand-down from the back bunker on the 13th, a 10-foot putt on the 14th, and capitalizing on a break at No. 15 when his drive

ricocheted out of the trees into the fairways, allowing him to reach the green in two. His lead vanished just as quickly, however. Day chose to hit putter from behind the 16th green, came up 5 feet short and missed the par putt. He hit into a bunker on the 17th for another bogey. Scott hit the ball beautifully

the entire day and watched one putt after another turn away from the hole. But he also received perhaps the biggest break of the tournament when his shot into the par-5 13th spun back off the green and was headed down the slope into the tributary of Raes Creek when it suddenly stopped, a blessing from a day spent in the rain.

cabrera comes up shy in major

AUGUSTA, Ga. Angel Cabrera usually comes up big in these situations. He did again. It just wasnt enough to win his second green jacket. Cabrera forced a playoff with a brilliant 7-iron to 3 feet on the 72nd hole of the Masters, but he lost to Adam Scott on the second hole of a playoff when the Australian rolled in a 12-foot putt. Cabrera just missed a chip-in from off the front of the green at the rst extra hole letting out an Ohhhhh! as it slid by the edge and his 15-footer on the second playoff hole stopped right next to the cup. He ipped his putter in the air and caught it, then tapped in for par. At that point, all he could do was watch as Scott made his birdie to become the rst Aussie to win the Masters. The 43-year-old Cabrera missed a chance at becoming the second-oldest Masters winner, behind only Jack Nicklaus in 1986. Still, it was a remarkable accomplishment for a golfer who came in ranked No. 269 in the world, and never seems to play winning golf unless hes in the biggest tournaments of all. I like the challenges, Cabrera said through an interpreter. These tournaments are very,

very important for me. So sometimes they bring my best out of me. Indeed, they do. Before this Masters, his last win on the PGA or Europeans tours came at the 2009 Masters, where he defeated Chad Campbell and Kenny Perry in a playoff. And before that was The 2007 U.S. Open at Oakmont, where Cabrera outdueled Jim Furyk down the stretch. The big guy almost did it again with his son on the bag, no less which would have put him a pretty exclusive club as a three-time major champion. The only thing in my head, Cabrera said, was winning. Playing in the nal group with Brandt Snedeker, Cabrera was by far the most solid player among the leaders as a steadily increasing rain didnt bother a player nicknamed El Pato

The Duck. He cruised through the front side with two birdies and seven pars, making the turn with a two-stroke lead. But an errant drive into the pine trees at No. 10 was the rst big miscue, leading to a bogey. The shot he would really like to have back came at the par-5 13th, where he drove into the pine straw on top of the hill but still decided to go for the green, 203 yards away. Cabrera chunked it a bit and watched his ball settle in Raes Creek. He wound up with another bogey and surrendered the lead to Jason Day. In hindsight, Cabrera still thinks it was a good decision. I had a very good angle, and I had a very good lie, he said. And I was thinking about making a birdie. I told my son that, you know, we could do an eagle, also.

AUGUSTA, Ga. A Masters that began so swimmingly for Tiger Woods effectively ended late in the second round, when his near-perfect wedge struck the agstick at No. 15 and ricocheted into the water. He left the grounds late Sunday afternoon in a steady drizzle, empty-handed once again His 2-under 70 left him at 283, four strokes behind the number that sent Adam Scott and Miguel Cabrera to a playoff won by the Australian, whose caddie, Stevie Williams, once used to work for Woods. After slipping into a tie for fourth, Woods put much of the blame on a familiar nemesis his putting. Its one of those things where this golf course was playing a little bit tricky, he said. We had four different green speeds out there and I couldnt believe how slow they were the rst two days. Yesterday, I couldnt believe how fast they were. And then today, it was another different speed again. But his driving wasnt all that strong, either. While Woods ranked comfortably among the top third in both greens in regulation and putting, he nished near the bottom in hitting fairways. What might have been the biggest obstacle, however, was the odd turn of events at No. 15 on Friday. Woods was tied for the lead

at 5-under and had a wedge in his hands with 87 yards left to the pin at the 530-year, par-5 hole. His rst attempt hit the stick and caromed about 45 degrees left, rolling into the pond. He took a penalty drop and recovered with another beautiful wedge for a tap-in bogey 6. But a viewer called into the club and advised Masters ofcials that he believed Woods had taken an illegal drop. Ofcials reviewed a videotape of the shot and initially decided no penalty was warranted. But after Woods said in a post-match interview that hed dropped the ball 2 yards from the original spot, club ofcials conducted another review, met with him Saturday morning, and added the two-stroke penalty. That made his score at the hole an 8 and bumped his round to 73. But it was considerably better than the second option disqualication. Asked whether that blunted his momentum, Woods replied, Well, we could do a what-if on every tournament we lose. When Woods opened Thursday with a 70 the same score he posted in the opening round of three of his four Masters wins the stars appeared to be aligning for one more green jacket. I thought 65 would win it outright Sunday, Woods said. I thought that was going to be the number maybe 8- or 9-under.

MIAMI Roy Halladay earned his 200th career victory, bouncing back from consecutive poor outings to pitch eight innings and help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Sunday. Laynce Nix broke a 1-all tie with his second pinch-hit homer of the season in the ninth. Halladay (1-2) allowed ve hits, walked one and lowered his ERA from 14.73 to 7.63. Hes the 109th pitcher to reach the 200win milestone, and the rst to do so in a Phillies uniform since Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in 1978. Nix batted for Halladay with one out in the ninth and homered into the upper deck in right eld off Jon Rauch (0-2). Jonathan Papelbon pitched around a leadoff walk in the ninth for his second save.

single off Josh Beckett with one out in the ninth inning, lifting the Arizona Diamondbacks over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Diamondbacks starter Trevor Cahill pitched six-hit ball for 7 1-3 innings. J.J. Putz (1-0) walked one in the ninth. Beckett (0-2) gave up a oneout double to A.J. Pollock in the ninth. Beckett ran the count to 3-0 before intentionally walking Miguel Montero, and Goldschmidt singled to right eld. SAN DIEGO Todd Helton had a pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning and Jorge De La Rosa and three relievers combined on a two-hitter to carry the Colorado Rockies over San Diego. Colorado also swept San Diego at Coors Field last weekend. Heltons homer off Dale Thayer (0-1) broke a scoreless tie. It was Heltons rst homer this season and his third career pinch homer.

Keselowski angry after parts seizure

FORT WORTH, Texas Brad Keselowski had plenty of good things to say about his team for all it overcame for another top-10 nish. As for his feelings about NASCAR, the defending Sprint Cup champion is pretty angry these days. The things Ive seen over the last seven days have me questioning everything that I believe in, and Im not happy about it, Keselowski said in the garage area after Saturday nights race at Texas. Before the race that Kyle Busch won to complete a weekend sweep, NASCAR conscated the original rear-end housing from Keselowskis No. 2 Ford and the No. 22 of Joey Logano, his Penske Racing teammate. That could lead to penalties, including possibly suspensions, the loss of championship points and nes. Logano was late to the starting grid because of the additional inspections after changes, and he had to start at the back of the eld. He charged to a fth-place nish, four spots ahead of Keselowski, who kept his starting spot of 16th. I have one good thing to say, and that was my team and the effort they put in today, in ghting back with the absolute (expletive) thats been the last seven days in this garage area, Keselowski said. Keselowski, who has six top10 nishes and is second in season points behind Jimmie Johnson, got a penalty a week earlier at Martinsville for pitting outside his stall. He still disputes that. Theres so much stuff going on. You guys have no idea whats going on, Keselowski said. I could tell you there is nobody, no team in this garage with the integrity of the 2 team. And the way weve been treated over the last seven days is absolutely shameful. I feel like weve been targeted over the last seven days more than Ive ever seen a team targeted, he said. But my guys, they kept their heads on straight and they showcased why they are a winning team and a cham-

Fort Worth police have said a man who was camping in the ineld died of a self-inicted injury after getting into an argument with other campers. The incident happened late in the Sprint Cup race. Police spokeswoman Cpl. Tracey Knight has said alcohol may have been a factor. Knight said several people witnessed the incident, but nobody was in danger. Track spokesman Mike Zizzo say the death occurred in or around a pickup truck in part of the ineld near the middle of the backstretch. make a list two pages long. Busch completed his NASCAR record seventh Cup-Nationwide weekend sweep, and second this season, with his Texas two-step at the track. After winning the Nationwide race the previous night, Busch started from the pole Saturday and led 171 of 334 laps. It was his 26th career Cup victory, rst at Texas, where he became the rst driver to win in each of NASCARs top three series also with six Nationwide wins and two in trucks there.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. The time was right for Trey Burke. The Michigan star made it ofcial Sunday: Hes leaving the Wolverines to enter the NBA draft. The move came as no surprise after Burke was voted The Associated Press national player of the year and led Michigan to the NCAA title game as a sophomore. Burke also considered going to the NBA a year ago, but he came back for another season. Now he departs with his stock seemingly peaking. The 6-foot point guard averaged 18.6 points and 6.7 assists per game in 2012-13. He made perhaps the most memorable shot of the NCAA tournament, a long 3-pointer in the nal seconds against Kansas that sent that regional seminal to overtime.

Michigan made the Final Four for the rst time since 1993, and in the championship game against Louisville, Burke scored 24 points in a losing effort.

Burke nearly left the Wolverines after his freshman season but decided to stay. Expectations were high at Michigan after his return, and the Wolverines lived up to them.

Little hellion makes visits to grandmothers house very unpleasant

Dear Abby: My daughter died in a car accident two years ago. She and her boyfriend, Reed, had a 4-month-old daughter, Angela. Since then, Reed has been very understanding and liberal with visitations. However, it didnt take him long to find another girlfriend, who has a 4-yearold daughter Ill call Madison. The first time I went to pick up Angela, the new girlfriend hinted strongly that I should also take Madison. I didnt like it, but I took her. Abby, Madison is the meanest, rudest child I have ever met. She called my dad ugly, my daughter ugly and my house stinky. I saw her push Angela

DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
down and laugh. I dont want to take Madison anymore. It has been difficult losing my daughter, seeing her replaced with a new girlfriend and now being expected to include an unpleasant stepgranddaughter in everything. But if I dont take her, Im afraid they wont let me visit Angela. Do you have any advice? Angies Gram in Missouri Dear Gram: If you havent spoken to Reed and the girls mother about her behavior, you should. Madison may act out because shes jealous of Ange-

la and, among other things, she needs to learn better manners before shes included in any more visits. If she had pulled the shenanigans with me that she has with you, I would have taken her home immediately. This is not to say that Madison should be permanently excluded, but you should have time with your granddaughter one-on-one. The same is true for Madison and her grandparents. You are not a built-in baby sitter, which appears to be how you have been made to feel, but nothing will change until you broach the subject. Dear Abby: I feel fortunate to find myself with the love of my life at 24. Josh is charming, intelligent, a hard worker and a wonderful partner. I know we can achieve all the things

we hope for. We have discussed where we stand on issues such as children, family, finances, living arrangements, etc. We are compatible, and where there is tension, we work it through. We are clearly headed toward engagement. He has picked out a ring and I want it badly, but I am hesitant. I am afraid I wont give him what he deserves. I dated a man in college for three years. We talked about our future, made plans, and then I changed my mind. The pain I caused was terrible. I still regret hurting him, although I dont regret leaving. Im afraid I will do it again. Im so anxious I sometimes think I should bail now and cut his losses just in case. I dont think I will, but who can see the future? My mother says I have always

been obsessed with making the right choice. Am I being foolish and letting my anxieties run away with me? Susan in Connecticut Dear Susan: You are not the same person you were in college. You have grown and are obviously more aware of the consequences of your actions. Because you are anxious about making a commitment to the love of your life, its time to schedule an appointment with a licensed counselor to discuss it.

UNIVERSAL SUDOKU

CRYPTOQUOTE

HOROSCOPE
BY HoLidAY MATHis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have a strong need of humor in your life, especially now that some people around you seem intent on being overly serious. Seek out entertaining influences. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Can you believe in fairies without believing in ogres? Once you open the door to a world, its very hard to be selective about what you experience there. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The tinkling of bells is a signal to a deep part of your mind. Youll hear such chiming and experience an increased sense of awareness. A memory will be released or a new dream inspired. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may set out to seek truth and beauty, but your journey will most likely be interrupted by more basic needs: sustenance, order, inclusion, touch. You can always get back to the truth and beauty quest later. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youve contributed well to the life of another, though this person may not be fully aware of your contribution for many years to come. What matters most of all is that you know. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being too rigid in your rules for living will only set the stage for failure. You can keep your high standards and still leave margins for error, impulse and the unknown. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You wish you could see what another person sees and feel how this person feels. Your curiosity and empathy allow you to get a glimpse of what it must be like. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are like a royal returning to the throne after a long quest. It will not be long before the whole kingdom will find out that youre not the same person you were. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Thinking you can do something is not the same as doing it, but its a start. Follow through on that gut feeling that you are the perfect person for a certain job. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In order for you to have the thing you desire, you must first convince others that they will profit, too. If you can make them believe this (and hopefully it is the truth), they will certainly want the same results. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Attention is like water, always moving and flowing and easily susceptible to influence. Youll like the powerful feeling you get when you walk into a room and control the way attention moves inside it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Be careful whom you envy. There is something for you in the ancient Roman story about the sword of Damocles. With power comes risk. Some risks are for you; others are not. TODAYS BIRTHDAY (April 15). Your financial picture is looking up, and youll have some new choices about what to do with your money. May brings the fulfillment of a promise. June offers a ticket that will change your perspective. Youll be entertaining others through July and August. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 33, 2 and 14.
