MILWAUKEE One of lifes
simple pleasures just got a little

sweeter. After years of waffling re-
search on coffee and health, even
somefear that javamight raisethe
risk of heart disease, a big study
findstheopposite: Coffeedrinkers
are a little more likely to live long-
er. Regularordecaf doesntmatter.
The study of 400,000 people is
the largest ever done on the issue,
and the results should reassure
any coffee lovers who think its a
guiltypleasurethat maydoharm.
Buzz on java: Drink to longer life
Study of 400,000 people
finds coffee drinkers a little
more likely to live longer.
By MARILYNN MARCHIONE
AP Chief Medical Writer
Ourstudysuggeststhatsreally
not the case, said lead researcher
Neal Freedman of the National
Cancer Institute. There may ac-
tuallybeamodest benefit of coffee
drinking.
No one knows why. Coffee con-
tains a thousand things that can
affect health, fromhelpful an-
tioxidants to tiny amounts
of substances linked to
cancer. Themostwide-
ly studied ingredient
caffeine didnt
play a role in the
new studys re-
sults.
Its not that ear-
lier studies were
wrong. There is
evidence that cof-
fee can raise LDL,
or badcholesterol, andbloodpres-
sure at least short-term, andthose
in turn can raise the risk of heart
disease.
Even in the new study, it first
seemed that coffee drinkers were
more likely to die at any given
time. But they also tended to
smoke, drink more alcohol, eat
more red meat and exercise less
thannon-coffee-drinkers. Oncere-
searchers took those things into
account, a clear pattern emerged:
Eachcupof coffee per daynudged
upthechances of livinglonger.
The study was done by
the National Institutes of
Health and AARP. The
results are published
in todays New En-
gland Journal of
Medicine.

Associates, the Chicago parking
consulting firm retained by the
citys Parking Authority, provid-
ed its report regarding the Re-
quest for Qualifications, but its
not clear if all of the firms rec-
ommendations were accepted.
Drew McLaughlin, the citys
administrative coordinator, said
the $20 million minimumbid re-
quirement will remain un-
changedandthecityis confident
that if bidders are interested, a
competitive bid process could
yield a significant upfront pay-
ment.
The RFQ is scheduled to be
issued on Friday, he said.
There will be some changes in-
corporated into the RFQ based
on the conference call with Des-
man Associates (Wednesday).
McLaughlin declined to com-
ment when asked if Desman rec-
ommended the $20 million re-
quirement stay in the RFQ or if
the firm felt it should be low-
ered. He said no specifics would
bereleasedat this timeuntil the
RFQ has been finalized and re-
leased on Friday.
There were recommenda-
tions onhowtostructurerates of
parking over the course of the
lease, he said.
Mayor TomLeighton thanked
the Parking Authority, City
Council and all others who
worked on the project.
We will see what type of bid-
ders and opportunities the RFQ
responses may bring, he said.
The $20 million figure had
been recommended by the con-
sultants retained by the author-
ity Fox Rothschild, the Phila-
delphia lawfirm, and Goals Con-
sulting, ownedbyformer cityad-
ministrator J.J. Murphy.
Murphys brother, Patrick, is a
partner in Fox Rothschild.
The RFQ will be sent out to
prospective bidders to gauge
what interest there is in leasing
the citys 2,113 garage spaces,
160 surface lot spaces and 800
parking meters.
Tom Torbik, the authoritys
executive director, said Tuesday
that upfront payments will be
asked for a 30-year lease and for
a 50-year lease.
Whatever the upfront pay-
ment is, $8 million would come
off the top to retire remaining in-
debtedness on the intermodal
and other city garages. The con-
sulting fees paidto Wohlstetters
firm, Desman and J.J. Murphys
Goals Consulting would also be
reimbursed.

NANTICOKE Council
passed a motion Wednesday
night not to award a contract
based on any of the three submit-
ted bids for the pedestrian bridge
project.
The pedestrian bridge was to
be constructed from the side of
the municipal building leading to
the outside area. The lowest of
the bids
was from
Multis-
cape in
the
amount
of
$78,886.
Council President Steve Duda
said that at a time when Nanti-
coke is looking to cut costs, it is
not advantageous for the city to
accept any of the bids.
He continued that, even
$78,000 is too high and that it
didnt serve in the best interest
of the city.
Council also passed a resolu-
tion authorizing the city to enter
into a tax collection agreement
with the Greater Nanticoke Area
School District. City Administra-
tor Holly Cirko said the city nev-
er had a written agreement and
it is more comfortable to have a
formal agreement on record.
In other business, the recon-
struction of Main and Market
streets is in the preliminary plan-
ning stage, and the city will have
to meet with the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation to
make sure plans comply with
state rules and regulations.
On June 3, the Honey Pot Vol-
unteer Fire Department will host
an all-you-can-eat breakfast from
7 a.m. to noon.

UNION TWP. The Northwest Area
School Board voted 6-1 Wednesday
night to approve what the board called
a proposed budget of $17.9 million for
2012-13.
The plan calls for a real estate tax in-
crease of 0.2207 mills, which equates
out to $20.82 more per property owner,
said Al Melone Jr., financial consult-
ant. But, he said, its not the final bud-
get.
The proposed plan is $511,314 more
than the $17,356.963 of 2011-12.
This is just the semi-final, Melone
said after presenting a detailed outline
on the proposed spending plan. The fi-
nal has to be balanced, enacted and for-
warded to the state Department of
Education by June 30.
Things could change drastically by
June, said Board President Randy To-
masacci, who cast the lone no vote.
Members Alton Farver, Gina
Schwartz, Al Gordon, Michael Krei-
dler, Ralph Killian and Gerald Conger
voted in favor of the budget. Daryl
Morgan and Peter Lanza were absent.
Melone and Tomasacci said they are
counting on increases in state revenue
and the acceptance of a new pact with
bus contractors, which calls for adjust-
ments in fuel allotments, to produce
approximately $328,000 that will help
to reduce the tax hike.
The school board unanimously ap-
proved the transportation contract
Wednesday, a five-year agreement with
six bus companies that stipulates allot-
ment changes and the district getting
bids for and purchasing all fuel for stu-
dent buses.
But as far as the overall picture is
concerned, well know our full needs
better in June, Melone said.
He said the district is proposing to
spend $11million in salary and benefits
for the educational staff and more than
$6 million for supplies and other pro-
fessional services.
Local taxes are expected to produce
just more than $6.1 million while the

Casey fights for Depot jobs
The U.S. Army has proposed relocat-
ing the Army Intermodal and Distribu-
tion Platform Management Office
(AIDPMO) from Tobyhanna Army
Depot to Scott Air
Force Base in Illinois.
This move would
eliminate 30 jobs at
Tobyhanna, the re-
gions largest employ-
er.
U.S. Sen. Bob
Casey, D-Scranton, on
Wednesday expressed
concern in a letter to Secretary of the
Army John McHugh that its rationale
for moving jobs from the Tobyhanna to
Illinois may be flawed.
Relaying concerns expressed by
constituents that cost savings data
provided by the Army are inaccurate,
Casey pushed the Army to respond to
the concerns due to the hardship that
would be caused by the elimination of
positions at Tobyhanna.

USPS announcement today
The U.S. Postal Service is set to
make an announcement today, possibly
regarding the future of 252 mail-proc-
essing centers nationwide, including
the one on Stafford Avenue in Scran-
ton. That facility employs 308 and was
set to close and have operations consol-
idated with the Lehigh Valley center.
A self-imposed moratorium on any
postal closings expired Tuesday, but
operations at the 252 facilities contin-
ued without interruption.
The Postal Service recently made an
about face on two other matters. On
Monday, the agency dropped plans to
close 600 urban and suburban post
offices nationwide. Last week it drop-
ped similar plans for more than 3,700
rural post offices, instead opting for a
plan that reduces hours.

WILKES-BARRE Stressing it
is a work in progress almost cer-
tain to change, Wilkes-Barre Area
School District Business Admin-
istrator Leonard Przywara laid
out proposals at Wednesday fi-
nance committee meeting for a
preliminary 2012-13 budget that
would use $3.2 million in reserve
funds, save about $800,000by not
replacing retirees and raise prop-
erty taxes 2.4 percent.
After the meeting, Przywara re-
peated a belief he has held since
the budgeting process began at
thestart of theyear withaproject-
ed$5.18 millionshortfall: The tax
hike almost certainly will not be
2.4 percent, the maximum al-
lowed by state law without voter
approval or a state exemption.
The board must pass a final
budget by June 30, but by law it
must pass apreliminarybudget in
time to allow 20 days for public
inspection. A special meeting is
scheduled for 6 p.m. May 24 for a
vote on a preliminary budget.
Przywara said the 2.4 percent
tax increase would raise about
$965,962 total by bumping the
rate from15.3684 mills to15.7372
mills. A mill is a $1 tax on every
$1,000of assessedpropertyvalue.
For a house assessed at $72,400 --
the district median that would
mean an additional $26.70 in tax-
es.
Przywara said the district has
$150,000 in unused ACCESS
money money the state pays to
cover somespecial-educationser-
vices available that can further
shrink the red ink. Eliminating
department chairs, not replacing
retiring teachers and aides, and
bringing some vision services in
house rather than paying the Lu-
zerne Intermediate Unit to pro-
vide them could save a total of
$871,229.
Thedistrict coulduse$495,000
froma debt service fund and $2.6
million from a general fund bal-
anceof about $7.6milliontoclose
the remainder of the gap, Przyw-
ara said.
Board Member John Quinn
said he believes the district can
save money by streamlining
transportation and eliminating
overlapping bus routes. He also
repeated his contention that
sports supply spending has got-
tenout of control andcanbe cut
sharply.
Quinn said replacement equip-
ment and uniforms are bought
toofrequently, andthereis agreat
disparity in the costs of similar
items such as caps bought by the
three different high schools.
Superintendent Jeff Namey
said unions are unlikely to agree
to a pay freeze, but the teachers
union has agreed to discuss in-
creasing deductibles of health in-
surance and to discuss other pos-
sible savings. Przywara said if
those changes are negotiated it
could add up to more than $1mil-
lion in savings.

HARRISBURG
Sandusky: Toss charges
J
erry Sandusky again asked a judge
to throw out the child sexual abuse
charges against him on Wednesday,
arguing that some counts are too vague
to defend and others involve alleged
victims whose identities have not been
determined.
In the filing, defense attorney Joe
Amendola attacked the charges related
to a person described in court records
as Victim 2. The boys encounter with
Sandusky in a Penn State locker room
a decade ago, and school officials re-
sponse to it, ultimately led to the de-
parture of longtime football coach Joe
Paterno.
Amendola wrote that the charges
related to Victim 2 cannot be sustained
based on the testimony of Mike
McQueary, an assistant football coach
who has said he saw Sandusky sexually
abuse the boy in a team shower.
Amendola also argued that prosecu-
tors will not be able to show there was
any sexual contact with a boy labeled
Victim 6. The boy showered with Sand-
usky in 1998, authorities said.

Push to raise Turnpike mph
The speed limit on the Pennsylvania
Turnpike could increase from 65 mph
to 70 mph if an Allegheny County
lawmaker gets his way.
The House Transportation Commit-
tee endorsed the bill last week by a
vote of 18-4, but its unclear whether it
will be debated on the House floor, The
Patriot-News reported Wednesday.
Leaders of the House Republican ma-
jority are said to be reviewing the legis-
lation.
The sponsor, Rep. Joe Preston, says
modern improvements have made
vehicles and the turnpike safer than
ever and that he wants to give the
Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission
the authority to increase the limit.
The turnpike speed limit was 70
mph from1941 until a national 55-mph
limit was established in 1973, accord-
ing to the commission.

Senate nixes GOP budget
Democrats controlling the Senate
rejected for the second year in a row
Wednesday a budget plan passed by
House Republicans.
The 58-41 vote against the GOP
budget came after a daylong debate in
which Democrats blasted Republicans
for refusing to consider tax increases as
part of a solution to trillion-dollar def-
icits, and Republicans in turn attacked
Democrats for not offering a budget at
all.
Republicans launched the debate,
which was aimed less at successfully
passing a bill than highlighting the
failure of Senate Democrats to deal
with a budget deficit expected to top $1
trillion for the fourth consecutive year.

WASHINGTONLeslie Sa-

flashof his owngrenade, hurled
at an enemy bunker in Cambo-
dia to save surrounded com-
rades. Forty years later anda
dozen years after the long-lost
paperwork turned up in mili-
tary archives he was honor-
ed by President Obama on
Wednesday with the nations
highest award for gallantry.
Obama presented the Medal
of Honor to Sabos widow, Rose
Mary, and said doing so helps
right the wrongs done to a gen-
eration that served freedoms
cause but came home to a
brooding and resentful nation.
Instead of being celebrated,
our Vietnam veterans were of-
ten shunned, Obama said in a
hushedEast Room. They were
called many things when there
was only one thingthat they de-
servedtobe calledandthat was
American patriots.
Spc. Leslie H. Sabo Jr. of El-
wood City, Pa., was serving
withU.S. forces near the village
of Se San in eastern Cambodia
in May of 1970 when his unit
was ambushed and nearly over-
run by North Vietnamese.
Comrades testified the rifle-
man charged up from the rear,
grabbed an enemy grenade and
tossed it away, using his body
to shield a fellow soldier. And
shrugging off his own injuries,
Sabo advanced on an enemy
bunker that had poured fire on-
to the U.S. troops and then,
pulled the pin on his own gre-
nade.
Its saidheheldthat grenade
anddidnt throwit until the last
possible moment, knowing it
would take his own life but
knowing he could silence that
bunker, Obama recounted.
And he did. He saved his com-
rades, who meant more to him
than life.
After the ceremony, Rose
Mary Sabo-Brown told report-
ers, I knowa piece of cloth and
a medal wont bring him back,
but my heart beams with pride
for Leslie because he is finally
receiving tribute for his sacri-
fices and bravery, she said.
Not long after the battle, sur-
vivors from Company B, 3rd
Battalion, 506th Infantry, 101st
Airborne Division filed reports
attesting to Sabos heroism.
But the documentation was
lost.
But in 1999, Alton Mabb, an-
other 101st veteran, found the
original paperwork at the Na-
tional Archives. A few weeks
later he askedfor copies andbe-
gan the push to get Sabo recog-
nized.

Without fanfare, the nations
nuclear power regulators have
overhauled community emer-
gency planning for the first
time in more than three dec-
ades, requiring fewer exercises
for major accidents and recom-
mending that fewer people be
evacuated right away.
The revamp, the first since
the program began after Three
Mile Island in 1979, also elim-
inates a requirement that local
responders always practice for a
release of radiation.
At least four years in the
works, the changes appear to
clash with more recent lessons
of last years reactor crisis in
Japan.
Under the new rules, the Nu-
clear Regulatory Commission
and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, which
run the program together, have
added one new exercise: More
than a decade after the 9/11 ter-
rorist attacks, state and com-
munity police will now take
part in exercises that prepare
for a possible assault on their
local plant.
Some emergency officials say
this new exercise doesnt go far
enough.
And some view as downright
bizarre the idea that communi-
ties will now periodically run
emergency scenarios without
practicing for any significant re-
lease of radiation.
These changes, while docu-
mented in obscure federal pub-
lications, went into effect in De-
cember with hardly any notice
by the general public.
The changes call for:
Limited community partic-
ipation in planning for attacks
on nuclear plants.
Less frequent community
exercises in 50-mile emergency
zones every eight years in-
stead of every six.
Periodic community exer-
cises with scenarios assuming
little or no release of radiation.
Delayed evacuations for
more people in the immediate
vicinity of an accident.
An Associated Press investi-
gative series in June exposed
weaknesses in the U.S. emer-
gency planning program. The
stories detailed how many nu-
clear reactors are now operat-
ing beyond their design life un-
der rules that have been re-
laxed to account for deteriorat-
ing safety margins.

NEW YORK Using only her
thoughts, a Massachusetts woman para-
lyzed for 15 years directed a robotic arm
to pick up a bottle of coffee and bring it to
her lips, researchers report in the latest
advance in harnessing brain waves to
help disabled people.
In the past year, similar stories have in-
cluded a quadriplegic man in Pennsylva-
nia who made a robotic arm give a high-
five and stroke his girlfriends hand, and a
partially paralyzed man who remotely
controlled a small robot that scooted
around in a Swiss lab.
Its startling stuff. But will the experi-
mental brain-controlled technology ever
help paralyzed people in everyday life?
Experts in the technology and in reha-
bilitation medicine say they are optimis-
tic that it will, once technology improves
and the cost comes down.
The latest report, which was published
online Wednesday in the journal Nature,
comes fromscientists at Brown Universi-
ty, the Providence VA Medical Center in
Rhode Island, Harvard Medical School
and elsewhere.
It describes how two people who lost
use of their arms and legs because of
strokes years before were able to control
free-standing robotic arms with the help
of a tiny sensor implanted in their brains.
The sensor, about the size of a baby as-
pirin, eavesdropped on the electrical ac-
tivity of a few dozen brain cells as the
study participants imagined moving
their arms. The chipthensent signals toa
computer, which translated them into
commands to the robotic arms.
The computer was taught howto inter-
pret the brain patterns through practice
as the paralyzedparticipants watchedthe
robot arms move and then imagined that
they were moving their own arms the
same way.
In one task to test the system, the two
participants tried to direct a robot armto
reach out and squeeze foamballs in front
of them. The man succeeded in less than
half his attempts, but thewomanwas able
to do it about 60 percent of the time.
The woman, Cathy Hutchinson of East
Taunton, Mass., was also askedto use the
arm to drink the coffee.

WASHINGTONUnfazedby a White
House veto threat, the House of Repre-
sentatives on Wednesday approved anti-
domestic violence legislation that oppo-
nents charge doesnt sufficiently protect
gay, lesbian, transgender people, Native
Americans and immigrants.
On a 222-205 vote, the House passed a
GOP-sponsored bill to renew the Vio-
lence Against Women Act, an18-year-old
law written by then-Sen. Joe Biden that
dedicates federal resources to assist vic-
tims of domestic violence.
Wednesdays vote puts the House at
odds once again with the Democratic-
controlled Senate, which approved its
version of the bill last month on a biparti-
san68-31vote. The Senate bill renews the
act for five years, authorizes $659.3 mil-
lion in annual spending and contains
measures to help victims of sexual as-
sault, improve emergency housing ser-
vices for victims and consolidate some
grant programs.
It also contains provisions intended to:
encourage undocumented immigrants to
help law enforcement identify domestic
abuse victims; assure protections for
gays, lesbians and transgender people,
among others; and give tribal courts in-
creased authority to prosecute incidents
of domestic violence committed by non-
American Indians in American Indian
territories.
While both political parties and both
chambers of Congress agree on the need
for the act they vastly disagree over what
it shouldinclude andwhomit shouldpro-
tect.
The House bill provides the same fund-
ing as the Senates but excludes some of
the specific domestic-violence protec-
tions for gays, immigrants and American
Indians that are in the Senate measure.
Those exclusions prompted opposi-
tion from hundreds of civil rights, reli-
gious and law enforcement groups, in-
cluding the National Organization for
Women, the American Bar Association,
the Episcopal Church and the YWCA
USA.

PITTSTON TWP. In baseball,
as well as in life, overcoming chal-
lenges often results in a victory.
Through Victory Baseball, an ar-
ea league formed for individuals
with mental and physical disabili-
ties, organizers hope the combina-
tion of fun and teamwork will not
onlyresult inavictory, but alsobea
win for everyone involved.
During the leagues opening day
Wednesday, founder and organizer
Fred DeSanto took to the field that
bears his name to thank everyone
who made Victory Baseball possi-
ble, as well as to those whose sug-
gestions gave himinspiration.
Without the help of everyone
here tonight, DeSanto said to the
audience, thisjustwouldntbepos-
sible.
Many families and former play-
ersapproachedDeSantoatthe20th
anniversary of Challenger Baseball,
an under-21 baseball league de-
signed for children and teens with
mental or physical disabilities.
I kept getting asked the same
question over and over again, he
said.
They all asked me why they
hadtostopenjoyingsportsjustbe-
cause they got older, he said.
Though he didnt have an an-
swerat thetime, DeSantosoonre-
alized there was no reason they
couldnt participate, and got to
planning Victory Baseball.
If you complete a challenge,
you become victorious thats
how we came up with Victory
Sports, he said.
Victory Sports supplies all uni-
forms, provides insurance and as-
sumes all costs associated with
events sponsored by the organiza-
tion. It also organizes other activ-
ities, including dancing and basket-
ball.
Players on the two teams, the
PhilliesandtheYankees, wereintro-
duced individually before taking
the field.
Oneof thoseplayers was 28-year-
oldDaniel Chapyak-Kumor, amem-
ber of the Yankees team who had
participated in Challenger Baseball
for 20 years.
His parents credit the games for
helping raise Daniels confidence.
It helped give him self-esteem
and confidence, said his father,
Marty. And it helped him make a
lot of friends that he still has to this
day.
The 2012 season, which began
Wednesday among scattered rain
showers, is expected to last
throughout the summer and into
September.
After that time, DeSantosaid, he
will bemeetingwithVictorySports
Board of Directors to discuss plans
for future programs.
The slight drizzle didnt scare off
any of the players, either.
They played in a snowstorm in
October. I dont think a little rain is
goingtoget themoff this field, De-
Santo said.

HOW TO DONATE: Victory Baseball leagues
opening day emphasizes fun
and teamwork.
By JOE DOLINSKY
98,000-square-foot building con-
structedin1934andcapitalizeon
an untapped resource of the fourth
and fifth floors.
Separating those upper floors
from the rest of the facility with a
separate entrance on Northamp-
ton Street and constructing 21
apartmentsfor upto59collegestu-
dents dubbed Forty West Apart-
ments will be an income gener-
ator for the YMCA for many years
to come, Yeager said.
The Y invested $750,000 into
the project and received a $5 mil-
lion state Redevelopment Assist-
ance Capital Program grant and
$5.25 million in new markets and
historic tax credits toward the
$14.8 million in renovations at the
main structure as well as $1.2 mil-
lioninrenovations at the Ys Camp
Kresge near White Haven.
The remaining$5millionof pro-
ject cost will be realized through a
capital campaign that launched in
February.
Recognizing several major con-
tributors to the campaign, Doug
Gauder, campaign chairman, said
76 people or organizations already
contributed $3.4 million, but
broad-basedcommunitysupport
will be necessary to raise the re-
maining $1.6 million. What we
needat this point is a little bit from
a lot of people, he said.
Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom
Leighton also recognized several
officials who contributed to the
projects success, especially noting
the work of state Rep. Eddie Day
Pashinski, D-Wilkes-Barre, and
state Sen. John Yudichak, D-Ply-
mouth Township, who helped se-
cure the two state grants, working
first with former Gov. Ed Rendell,
and then with Gov. Tom Corbett.
Together, we had to sell this
project to Harrisburg, which was
not an easy thing to do, Leighton
said.
The mayor, a regular visitor to
the Y, called it a tremendous op-
portunity to relieve your stress
and get away from your office and
your job just for an hour.
The Y has so many things that
go on here day in and day out, its
important to support a project like
the YMCA. I dont know what
Wilkes-Barre city would do with-
out the YMCA being located
downtown, he said.
Executive Director JimThomas
said the Wilkes-Barre Y is one of
the nicest in Pennsylvania, with
renovations done to enhance the
historic nature of the building.
But theYMCAis somuchmore
than this facility. Its about peo-
ple, its about all of you, its about
people helping people, Thomas
said, noting regular memberships
and financial support from the
community allowthe Y to provide
half the children who attend activ-
ities with scholarships to do so.
After a ribbon cutting on the
front steps, visitors enjoyed re-
freshments in the conference
room, took guided tours and had
free use of any of the facilities for
the day.

WILKES-BARRE A man
accused by Kingston police with
robbing a bank was sentenced in
Luzerne County Court on
Wednesday.
Senior Judge Hugh Mundy
sentenced Joseph Ostroski, 51,
of Firehouse Road, Lehman, to
six to 12 years in state prison on
two counts of robbery.
Police alleged Ostroski en-
tered the Citizens Bank branch
on Wyoming Avenue wearing an
orange ski mask on Sept. 20. He
told a clerk he had a gun and
demanded money be placed in a
bag he was carrying, according
to the criminal complaint.
Ostroski was tackled outside
the bank by a man passing the
bank.
WILKES-BARRE A Hazle-
ton man was found not guilty by
a Luzerne County jury of a felo-
ny drug offense after a two day
trial before Judge Joseph Skla-
rosky Jr.
Francisco Alberto Gruyair, 31,
of North Laurel Street, was
acquitted of possession with
intent to deliver a controlled
substance.
The jury did convict Gruyair
of a misdemeanor charge pos-
session of a controlled sub-
stance. Sklarosky convicted
Gruyair of a misdemeanor
charge of possession of drug
paraphernalia.
Hazleton police investigating
a break-in at Gruyairs residence
on Oct. 18, 2010, found marijua-
na in a closet. The marijuana
was in a box mailed to the resi-
dence with Gruyairs name on
the label, according to the crimi-
nal complaint.
Attorney Joseph Yeager repre-
sented Gruyair. Assistant dis-
trict attorneys Rebecca Reimill-
er and Brian Coleman prose-
cuted.
The jury deliberated four
hours before returning the ver-
dict on Wednesday.
Gruyair is scheduled to be
sentenced on July 6.

POLICE BLOTTER
PITTSTON -- The continued
maintenance and revitalization
of downtown was a topic of dis-
cussion at Wednesday nights
meeting of city council.
Council unanimously ap-
proved the organization of the
Downtown Business Improve-
ment District Corp., a nonprofit
entity that will empower the
residents of the city with a col-
lective sense of ownership and
pride.
Council member Michael
Lombardo said the organization
will address issues such as the
planting of flowers and general
cleanup. The mayor and several
council members will be mem-
bers of the organization to pro-
vide a sense of communication
and cooperation.
We anticipate that the city
will continue to prosper in re-
gard to new construction and
commerce, said Mayor Jason
Klush. We want to facilitate
that growth.
Also, the council passed an or-
dinance establishing policy reg-
ulating condemned structures
within the city.
Lombardosaidthere were sev-
eral such properties throughout
the city and the ordinance empo-
wered the city to effectively ad-
dress those condemned proper-
ties.
Council also addressed the
need to appoint a resident to the
housing authority. Council has
unsuccessfully solicited volun-
teers for that post.
City Manager Joseph Mosko-
vitz said it is necessary to fill
that position as soon as possible
and he will revisit the issue at
the next council meeting.
Also, because there was not a
quorumat Mondays housing au-
thority meeting, it was consid-
ered a work session and council
announced the housing author-
ity has rescheduled the meeting
to May 24.

Pardon Our Dust - Fairway Chevrolet Provides The Greater Hazleton
Area Customers ANewDealership Experience!
Fairway Chevrolet transforms dealership with new and improved facility
Local Auto Dealer Having Great Success
Helping Credit Distressed Customers
Saving Money At The Pump with
Fuel Economy Cars
Hazleton, May 1, 2012-
After six months the dust
has nearly all settled, and
Fairway Chevrolet is proud
to invite local customers to
check out a newdealership
experience.
Avisit to the recently
upgraded Fairway Chevrolet
and the difference is
immediately apparent: An
inviting exterior faade with
updated signage is currently
under construction. However,
a bright showroomfeaturing
a customer greeting station,
and a comfortable customer
lounge offering a at screen
TV, beverages and snacks is
nowopen. Also, incorporated
into the newlounge area
is a childrens play area.
In addition to the building
renovations is a drive thru
service lane. After a service
appointment has been made,
the customer simply pulls
up to the drive thru service
entrance, the overhead door
opens and the customer
drives right into the building.
Weve looked at the
customer experience fromall
viewpoints, and the facility
updates weve made cater
to our customers needs to
provide the best dealership
experience, said Jim
Corazza dealer principal for
Fairway Chevrolet. Fairway
Chevrolet invested over one
million dollars to make the
signicant improvements to
their dealership. Although
the outside building faade is
not quit nished JimCorazza
said, we are open for
business as usual and I want
to invite everyone into our
upgraded showroom. We are
so proud of the outcome.
Fairway Chevrolet is
located at 1101 N. Church St.
(Rt.309) in Hazle Township.
Rich LaRussa, F &I
Manager for Fairway
Chevrolet in Hazle Township,
recently announced a new
and unique programto help
credit challenged people
purchase a newor pre-owned
vehicle. Many customers
are under the impression
that they owe too much on
their current vehicle loan
or that past credit issues
would hinder themfrom
getting into a newvehicle.
Ninety percent of the time
customers are paying interest
rates higher than whats
available today. Fairway
nowhas a systemthat
specically targets distressed
credit customers. That is,
no minimumcredit score is
required. Aminimumgross
income of $1,500 and only
$1,000 down is necessary.
This can be accomplished
with cash or ACVtransfer
or both. Rich LaRussa said,
We have helped hundreds of
folks with poor credit get into
the car of their dreams and
with our newsystemwe are
condent we can help even
more. Most customers are
in loans that are 14%APR
to 15%APRor even higher
in some cases. With todays
current rates we can possibly
shave $20, $30, even $40 off
a customer payment. Were
especially excited about
helping those customers
that have had credit issues.
Weve partnered with
several lending providers.
However, funding is limited
for these nancial situations.
Therefore, LaRussa points
out that funding will be
distributed to qualied
customers on a rst come,
rst serve basis. LaRussa
goes on to explain that if
someone has had bad credit
and is paying 18%APRto
21%APR, we may be able
to cut those rates down to
as lowas 4.9%APR. I would
encourage anyone paying
these kind of rates to come
in and talk to me as soon
as possible. They could be
saving a lot of money.
With the price of gas
escalating with every
passing day, its becoming
increasingly difcult to stay
within the budget for many
families across the area. Gas
encompasses a huge portion
of the paycheck and it is an
expense that cant be slashed
fromthe household budget. If
you want to get to work, you
need gas. Period. But in this
economy, what are families to
do when gas prices increase,
but the paycheck doesnt.
Nowis the time to look at
alternatives that will save
money at the pump and give
some much-needed relief to
those nding it hard to keep
up with the soaring price for
a gallon of gas.
While the initial price
of a car has the most
impact on a new-vehicle
purchase decision, there
are other factors that need
to be considered, as well.
Purchase price is just one
part of the overall Total
Cost of Ownership. Over
the life of the vehicle, other
costs to keep in mind are
insurance costs, nance costs,
scheduled maintenance,
and, the most important,
cost of fuel. Over time, the
cost savings can really add
up with the right vehicle.
Fairway Motors, Hazle Twp.,
has many options to help with
the cost of fuel.
Keith Laylo, Sales
Manager, of Fairway
Chevrolet in Hazle Township
listed the following vehicles
as fuel efcient and
affordable Chevy choices.
They are the ChevyCruzeEco,
Chevy Sonic, and Chevy
Malibu Eco. In addition the
2012 Traverse is beautiful,
comfortable and fuel
efcient, too. The Traverse
gets an impressive 24 MPG
HWY. The 2012 Chevy
Equinox has highway fuel
economy competitors cant
beat with an impressive 32
MPHHWY. As for the longest
lasting dependable truck
that ts your lifestyle, the
Chevy Silverado, it comes in
with an 18 MPGHWYrating.
When distance matters. Drive
further in a Chevy.
The Chevy Cruz Eco has a
1.4L, 4-Cylinder engine with
138 horsepower. Eco offers
the best highway mileage of
any gas engine in America
with 42 MPG.
The Chevy Sonic has
many options but the most
fuel efcient option is the
Sonic LTZ Sedan with a 1.4L
turbocharged 4-Cylinder
engine and 6 speed manual
transmission. It gets 40 MPG.
If a manual transmission is
not what your looking for,
It also comes with a 1.8L
4-Cylinder engine with 6
speed automatic transmission
and it gets 35 MPG. IPlu, you
have the added option of a
sedan or a hatchback.
The Malibu Eco with
eAssist technology offers
an estimated 37MPGand
a 580-mile driving range
on the highway. It comes
with a 2.4L 4-Cylinder
engine with performance-
enhancing direct injection
and that engeniouseAssist
Technology. Heres how
eAssist works. Using power
stored in the state-of-the-art
115Vlithium-ion battery,
along with a 15kWelectric
motor generator, eAssist
delivers a seamless electrical
boost in various driving
scenarios. In conjunction
with the direct-injected, 2.4L
4-Cylinder engine, eAssist
provides fuel cutoff at idle
and uses the cars momentum
to recharge the battery. The
battery powers amenities
such as climate control and
infotainment systems while
the engine is off, so you
dont use gas when you dont
need it.
Laylo said, Fairway
would be happy to
demonstrate any of our fuel
efcient Chevrolet models,
stop in for a test drive.
By J. Herron
Keith Laylo, Fairway
Chevrolet sales manager,
said leasing is coming back
in a big way after the recent
automotive down turn.
Just a fewyears ago leasing
was non-existent with some
manufactures. This was due
in part to stringent credit
requirements, banks were just
not lending money. Leasing
is making a comeback and
people may have forgotten
the advantages of leasing.
Alot of customers cringe
hearing the word lease.
Theyve never leased before
and may be unaware of the
benets to leasing. With the
price of vehicles on the rise,
and the rising cost of energy,
leasing is once again a logical
alternative to traditional
nancing. People like to be in
what is known as a vehicle
turn cycle. That is, holding
onto their vehicle for 3 to
4 years. Most people like
to upgrade after 4 years.
Newvehicle owners want
the latest safety features
and the best fuel efciency.
This is where leasing plays
a most signicant role in the
vehicle turn cycle. Leasing
companies offer a special on
short termleases from24
to 42 months. This is in the
period where most people
want a newcar. Auto dealers
experience, almost on a
daily basis, people calling or
coming in to trade up to a new
car, but they owe more then
their car is worth. Dealers
have customers that want a
newcar. These customers
want to keep their payment
the same as when they did
a 60, 72, or even a 84 month
nance contract and they paid
on it for 3 years. However, a
lot of that payment went to
interest. Leasing is the perfect
alternative for this type of
customer. They need little
money down and in some
cases, just their rst payment
and license fees. This can
be well under $1000. The
leasing option keeps payments
manageable. Laylo said,
People ask me all the time,
would I lease? I tell them, all
Ive ever done is lease my
newvehicles. I see the true
benet in it. I get to drive a
newcar every 36 months.
I have a car that is always
under warranty and I never
have to worry about how
much its going to depreciate.
I get to choose a newcar with
the latest and greatest safety
and technology features, due
to my three year lease, plus
I dont have to worry about
warranty or depreciation.
When purchasing a new
Chevrolet, there are two
captive leasing companies
currently competing for your
business. They are Ally bank
and GMFinancial. Subaru
offers leasing through Subaru
Motor Financing. Laylo
said, There are some very
attractive lease programs
currently being offered on
newChevrolets and Subaru
models. Fairway Chevrolet /
Subaru is located on Rt. 309 in
Hazle Township.

We need to take a lesson from

Writer finds that flags
are missing in action
O
ur national emblem, the American
flag, has been missing from homes,
businesses and, in particular, from
downtown Wilkes-Barre and the main
thoroughfares of Kingston, especially dur-
ing the Memorial and Veterans Day pa-
rades. Why?
Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day these days
have been set aside because they remind
us of significant times in our nations histo-
ry. It isnt important who organizes those
holidays; its that they take place. Not only
do we have to keep the memory alive our-
selves, we must nurture it in the hearts
and minds of our young.
Shamefully, the American flag has been
noticeably absent on patriotic holidays in
downtown Wilkes-Barre and along the
Veterans Day parade route spanning King-
ston and Wilkes-Barre.
As a World War II veteran, I urge all
veterans groups, civic organizations and
citizens to call or write the mayors of both
those municipalities, urging them to take
measures to see that the American flag is
appropriately displayed on prescribed
patriotic holidays.
Is a 40-plus cent stamp too much to ask
to see that all those who served our nation
are not forgotten? The call is yours. The
results will be the determining factor.

Will state lawmakers
do right by our schools?
A
ccording to the Constitution, the pow-
er to establish and regulate public
education is not granted to the federal
government. Therefore, that power is
delegated to the states respectively, or to
the people.
In other words, the legal responsibility
to provide public education to the children
of Pennsylvania falls on the shoulders of
the state government: namely, the gover-
nor and the Legislature. Yes, the state
government can delegate some of its legal
obligation to the people elected at the local
level, but the ultimate responsibility rests
with the Legislature, the elected repre-
sentatives of the people.
When the governors proposed budget
does not adequately provide the financial
support for the proficient operation of the
public education system, then that respon-
sibility reverts to the peoples elected rep-
resentatives.
Clearly, Gov. Tom Corbetts proposed
budget for next year does not adequately
fund the local school districts. Therefore,
that responsibility now rests on the shoul-
ders of the states senators and representa-
tives.
They ultimately are responsible for our
childrens public schools; the question is
whether they will accept their responsib-
ility this year or just pass the buck again to
the local school board members, who
unlike the state, lack the taxing power to
spread the tax burden equitably.
Will our legislators do what is in the
best interest of their constituents, or will
they only follow their partys leader? Well
know for sure when the state budget is
adopted in June.

Plan could be win-win
for Air Force, Pa. Guard
A
s part of the presidents 2013 defense
budget, the Air Force proposes to
reduce the size and capability of its
most efficient and cost-effective compo-
nents the Air National Guard and the Air
Force Reserve.
Gov. Tom Corbett and I are working
with members of Congress, urging them to
support a 2013 budget that honors the
enhanced roles that the Air National
Guard and the Air Force Reserve play in
our national security. I recognize that
difficult decisions must be made to ad-
dress our nations dire fiscal situation.
However, it is counterintuitive to target
the Air National Guard, which represents
35 percent of the Air Forces air capability
at only 6 percent of the cost, to absorb 59
percent of the cuts in total aircraft.
The Air Forces dramatic cuts to the
Pennsylvania National Guards 171st Air
Refueling Wing will result in the reduction
of 25 percent of its aircraft and associated
personnel. The Air Force also intends to
shutter the Pittsburgh Air Reserve Station
and disband the 911th Airlift Wing by relo-
cating two C-130 transport planes and
mothballing the remaining seven.
Closure of the 911th would put 1,300
reservists and 300 full-time civilian em-
ployees on the unemployment lines. Gov-
ernor Corbett and I suggest the innovative
approach that would transfer the 911th
mission, equipment and personnel to the
Pennsylvania Air National Guard a feder-
ally funded, dual-mission organization
responsible to both a federal and state
chain of command.
Conversion to the National Guard will
afford gubernatorial oversight and enhance
domestic operations capability for the
state, making 911th personnel and equip-
ment available to the governor in times of
natural or state emergencies.
Combining the two organizations and
eliminating duplicative overhead also
would increase homeland security oper-
ations and make more efficient use of
defense dollars.

Family greatly appreciates
wonderful tribute to dad
O
ur family offers its heartfelt apprecia-
tion for the humbling tribute that we
witnessed recently for our father.
There were so many of you who took
time to show support and respect for our
father and our family, that it was amazing
and overwhelming. We could not have
asked for anything more. From the bot-
toms of our hearts, we truly appreciate our
extended family.
Thanks to everyone who sent sympathy
cards, purchased Mass cards, offered food,
sent flowers, made donations to the Valley
with a Heart/Hanover Township Fire
Police, attended the services, provided
traffic control (Hanover police and fire
police from many communities), formed
the honor guard at the casket/church/
cemetery entrance (Hanover Township
Fire Department, Nanticoke Fire Depart-
ment and armed forces), the fly-over by
Life Flight. The list goes on and on.
After all is said and done, we know one
thing for certain: Our dad is looking down
from heaven with a huge smile of apprecia-
tion for each of you.
God bless every one of you. We wish you
the best with lifes future challenges. And,
as always, be safe every day.

F GETTYSBURG IS seri-
ous about saving historic
buildings, the last thing of-
ficials should be doing is
talking about making it illegal
to tear them down.
That seems more likely to en-
courage some people to hurry
up and demolish a building be-
fore its against the law.
Plummeting home values
have put many historic build-
ings in jeopardy. Officials say
sometimes owners cant afford
maintenance expenses and the
buildings fall intosuchdisrepair
that they must be condemned.
In other instances, low real-es-
tate values make these build-
ings easy targets for buyers in-
terested in tearing down the
structures to build parking lots.
Gary Shaffer, chairman of the
boroughs Historic Architectu-
ral Review Board, says current
ordinances arent sufficient to
protect against demolition or
demolition by neglect. The
boardmust provea buildinghas
significant historical value to
prevent demolition, and some
people would like to see that
protection extended to any his-
toric building, whichunder cur-
rent borough code means at
least 50 years old.
Really? 1962? Thats the kind
of talk that could cost the bor-
ough a lot of buildings as folks
rush to the wrecking ball before
its too late.
Instead of laws requiring that
alternatives be considered be-
fore demolition rules that
some Gettysburg officials ac-
knowledge could be challenged
in court anyway the borough
shouldconsider ways tomake it
easier to restore historic build-
ings.
Grants to property owners to
restore historic structures and
tax breaks for those who keep
theirs in tip-top shape will ulti-
mately be good for the local
economy. And a strong local
economy is more likely to save
historic buildings and pre-
serve property rights than
scary talk of tough new laws.
The Evening Sun, Hanover
OTHER OPINION: PRESERVATION
Make it easier
to save buildings
T
HERE ARE TWO ver-
sions of school proper-
ty tax relief legislation
jockeying for support
in the state Capitol these days.
One sponsored by state
Rep. Seth Grove, R-Dover al-
lows counties, municipalities
and school districts to use a
combination of sales
and income taxes to
lower property taxes
by30percent or more
and freeze them at
that level.
The other House
Bill 1776, also known
as the Property Tax
Independence Act completely
eliminates school property tax-
es. It would fund public educa-
tionbyraisingthesales taxfrom
6 percent to 7 percent and ex-
panding it to cover dozens of
currently exempted items.
The pros andcons of eachbill
are still unclear.
Groves bill might not com-
pletely eliminate property tax-
es. Certainly people on fixed in-
comes, such as senior citizens,
wouldbenefit fromtheshift, but
its possible middle-class wage
earners would pay more.
WhileHB1776has theappeal
of doing away with the hated
property tax altogether, its un-
known whether a sales tax can
completelyreplacethelost reve-
nue. Also, support in the Legis-
lature is uncertain, considering
parts of the state are quite hap-
py withthe current school fund-
ing model.
Were simply happy lawmak-
ers are finally taking another
crack at property tax reform
because Act 1clearly isnt work-
ing. Thats the 2006 legislation
that legalized slots
casinos, with the
promise that por-
tions of the reve-
nue would be used
for tax relief. Un-
fortunately, the aid
has been paltry,
barely keeping up
with tax increases as more peo-
ple sign up for the program.
Thestaterecentlyannounced
the average amount homeown-
ers can expect this year, and its
literally only pennies more than
last years relief.
Stateofficials always comeup
with one explanation or anoth-
er, but thefact is Act1is nothing
morethanaBand-Aidthats cov-
eringless andless of thewound.
What we need is comprehen-
sive reformlike Groves bill, the
Property TaxIndependence Act
or some other version altogeth-
er.
The key is to keep pressing
our legislators until they get it
right.
The York Dispatch
OTHER OPINION: TAX REFORM
Will Pa. taxpayers
get real relief?
Act 1 is nothing
more than a
Band-Aid thats

about the word disabilities,
which also implies something
negative about it, she said.
Wyoming County commis-
sioners approved the change ear-
lier this month.
Luzerne County Council
members are set to vote on the
name change Tuesday, said
council Chairman Jim Bobeck.
Bobeck noticed agencies in
other counties statewide are tak-
ing similar action and embraces
the new version.
The current name is simply
an inhumane characterization of
those receiving developmental
services, Bobeck said.

Revenue Service LLC, the
countys contracted tax claim
operator. A total $1.4 million
was collected to date.
Northeast Revenue repre-
sentative John Rodgers said
collections should come close
to $5 million.
He expects to collect more
than $8 million but said much
of that money had to be used
to repay an outstanding coun-
ty monetization loan. Moneti-
zation allowed the county to
receive lump-sum cash ad-
vances on delinquent taxes.
Council rejected the mone-
tization option this year be-
cause the county is forced to
pay additional fees. The
county still owes $1.6 million
for past monetization, Rodg-
ers said.
The deeds office has col-
lected $352,165 to date, or 29
percent of the $1.175 million
in budgeted revenue.
Interim Recorder of Deeds
Joan Hoggarth said deeds are
down by 1,500 compared to
this time last year. The value
of properties changing hands
has also decreased, reducing
the countys revenue from a
commission on transfer tax,
which is based on a percent-
age of the transaction
amount, she said.
The office brought in $1.4
million last year but has no
control over the volume of fil-
ings, she said.
The prothonotarys office,
which handles civil court re-
cords and filings, brought in
$506,650 to date, or 29 per-
cent of the budgeted $1.72
million, the report shows.
The 2012 budget adopted
by council resulted in 61 lay-
offs but avoided further staff
reductions by increasing tax-
es 2 percent and dipping into
a capital bond reserve to re-
pay $1.4 million toward debt.

hey won all 16 of their previous
tennis matches so swiftly and so
decisively that sometimes it
seemed the Wyoming Seminary Blue
Knights had tougher tests playing
practice matches against themselves.
So how could they really prepare for
what came at them in the first round of
states?
Here is what happened at the start of
what turned out to be a dogfight for
Sem against a proud and traditionally
talented tennis program called Mora-
vian Academy:
George Parkhurst, the District 2
Class 2A singles champion, went to a
tiebreaker in the top singles match
before earning 7-5 victory for Sem. His
brother, Harry Parkhurst, barely closed
out a 10-8 tiebreaker in the first set at
No. 2 singles. And over at No. 3 sin-
gles, Henry Cornell was surviving
another first-set tiebreaker, 10-8.
Thats three of the top singles play-
ers, not only on Sems team but in
Northeastern Pennsylvania, being
pushed to the brink right from the
beginning of the PIAA team tourna-
ment.
I would say I expected a close
match, Harry Parkhurst said. I never
expected the singles to be so close.
It could wind up bringing the Blue
Knights even closer to winning a state
championship.
Because when players are pushed to
the limit, and find limitless resolve
stored deep within themselves, it cre-
ates a certain aura of invincibility from
knowing any fears can be conquered.
All state champions share that belief.
Its a lot more about the mental
game than just the physical game,
George Parkhurst said. Youve got to
start thinking about, How am I going
to beat this guy, tactically and strate-
gically?
His was the only spot in Sems lineup
to win in straight sets. The other two
singles slots, and both doubles teams,
all went to three sets before the Blue
Knights pulled out a 4-1 victory that
sends them to Hershey for the state
quarterfinals Friday.
Had we knocked off a couple of
those tiebreakers, it could have gone a
different way, said veteran Moravian
Academy coach Tom Schoeninger,
whos taken more than a few of his
Lions teams on deep state runs.
Their kids were just better.
A true test
Or maybe the Blue Knights got bet-
ter Tuesday by being pushed to the
brink by Moravian Academy.
Theyre all intelligent and athletic
enough to realize they probably grew
enormously as competitors, Sem
coach Mike Balutanski said of his
squad.
Mainly because the Blue Knights
learned something about themselves.
Just to never give up, Cornell said.
Wouldnt the Blue Knights rather
open state play with a sweeping state-
ment by cruising through the first
round, instead of enduring a match
that lasted more than 2 hours and
nearly drove them dizzy?
I would say no, Harry Parkhurst
said.
He explained that last year, Sem
stormed through its state quarterfinals
with a 5-0 victory It was pretty un-
competitive, Harry Parkhurst said
and the team wasnt prepared to face a
difficult semifinal match that knocked
the Blue Knights from the tournament.
Going to states (quarterfinals), its
good to have this experience, Harry
Parkhurst said. I think it shows us our
team isnt unstoppable. It shows our
singles players have that mental tough-
ness, that we can come back.
The Blue Knights are coming back to
Hershey this weekend feeling a lot
better about themselves, knowing that
a real battle brings out their best.

KINGSTON Delaware Valley
utilized an offensive attack that
balanced patience and quick-
strike ability and a defense that
repeatedly produced turnovers
for an 11-4 victory over Dallas at
Klassner Field to capture the
PIAA District 2 boys lacrosse
championship.
With its second district title
win, Delaware Valley (12-5) now
moves on to host a sub-regional
game with the winner of the Dis-
trict 4 championship, that game
also to be played at Klassner
Field on May 22. The Mountain-
eers (11-4) sawtheir seasoncome
to an end.
This win feels great. We
played themearlier in the season
and we thought we would see
them again, Delaware Valley
head coach Jeff Krasulski said.
The guys played really hard to-
day, we got some goals when we
needed and they just did a great
job out there.
After an early goal, two of the
goals that Delaware Valley need-
ed came in a 19-second span in
the first quarter.
BobbyMorleys goal at the 7:29
mark was followed by a Martin
Strenk scoring strike at 7:10.
Strenk took a pass after the War-
riors won the faceoff, weaved
through Dallas defense and fired
a shot from 10 yards out for the
3-0 lead.
Usually when we get some
goals quickly like that it takes
off some pressure, said Morley,
who finished with two goals and
an assist. We knew we had to
keep playing defense though.
Weve played Dallas before and
we knew they were good.
The two teams traded goals to
make it 4-2 midway through the
second quarter before a three-
goal outburst from the Warriors
built an insurmountable lead.
Karl Haass and Jed Daniel
found the back of the goal for De-
laware Valley after the Warriors
countered attacks from Dallas by
forcing a turnover and springing
both players loose with long pas-
ses. Garret Midlarsky made it 7-2
when he plucked a ground ball
from the turf, broke free over al-
most half the field and laced a
shot into the net with 3:28 to go
before halftime.
Our longstickmids (essential-
ly a defensive midfielder) are
some very talented guys. Midlar-
sky and Mike Divis, they both
came up big for us today, Krasul-

Wednesday night, the other an opportu-

It took a shootout after 110 minutes of
soccer for both.
Keeper Meghan Utter made two big
saves and sophomore Jessica Johnson
sealed the win with North Poconos

lasted Hanover Area to clinch the final
District 2 girls soccer playoffs berth.

Friday for a D2 first-round game.
Hanover Area, which clawed its way
back to contention late in the season,
ended its year at 7-6-1.
Its hard, Hanover Area coach Brian
Bannon said, after the first half of the
season when we got through our injuries
and that. Only having 13 girls on the
bench and they fought hard. Going in, its
hard to beat a teamtwice, let alone three
times.
The teams played to a 1-1 tie after 80
minutes of regulation. Two 15-minute
sudden-death periods (each five minutes
longer than the regular season) didnt
produce a winner.
So it came down to a shootout and two
players who had something to prove.
For Utter, it was making up for some
shaky play in the eyes of coach Dave Da-

SCRANTON Ronnie DElisio pre-
pared for the biggest meet of the season
to date by staying off the track.
The Pittston Area junior followed ad-
vice to treat a strainedright quad, hoping
the rest would help overcome the rust of
not clearing a single hurdle for a week be-
fore the District 2 Class 3A Track and
Field Championships.
That scared me a lot, DElisio said af-
ter returning to action Wednesday as the
only Wyoming Valley Conference boy to
win two individual gold medals in the
meet.
DElisio swept the hurdles titles after
finishing third in the 110 and second in
the 300 last year.
I was afraid that it would slow me
down, DElisio said. I rested it all week.
The trainer told me to keep it rested, ice
it down heat it, so I did that all week.
DElisio went in as the top seed in the
300 while sharing the top spot in the 110.
After leading110qualifyingbyalmost a
second, DElisio edged Delaware Valleys
Eric Pizarro by seven-hundredths of a
second to win the final in 15.35 seconds.
DElisio then won the 300 with a sea-
son-best time of 39.22.
Coughlin finished tied for second in
the team standings while Tunkhannock
had half of the WVCs six individual
champions.

KINGSTON It may be some
time until the rest of District 2
catches up to the Wyoming
Seminary girls lacrosse team.
And the Blue Knights are begin-
ning to take notice.
Unlike during the first Dis-
trict 2 championship last year,
Wyoming Seminary didnt quite
roll over its opponent like it
had the first time.
The Blue Knights controlled
possession for much of the first
half Wednesday to post a 15-5
victory over Delaware Valley
for the schools second consec-
utive District 2 championship.
The Warriors proved to be a
much more competitive oppo-
nent than Dallas was at last
years title game when Wyom-
ing Seminary cruised to a 20-0
win and outscored Wyoming
Seminary 3-1 in the second half.
Its exciting; there is a lot
more pressure on us, Wyoming
Seminary coach Catie Kersey
said. The girls really had to
step up, play harder in every
game. We couldnt take it easy
this year.
With the victory, the Blue
Knights advance to a PIAA
play-in game where they will
face an undetermined District 4
champion (either Lewisburg or
Midd-West) at Susquehanna
University in Selinsgrove on
Tuesday. The winner of the
play-in would advance to play
the second-place team from
District 3.
The Blue Knights wasted no
time building a comfortable
lead in the first half. Emily
Granger found the back of the
net in 28 seconds on the teams
first possession. Four more
goals were recorded to supply
the Blue Knights with a 5-0
lead through the first 4:10.
Theyre hungry, Kersey
added. One of the great things
about our girls is that theyre
going to score as soon as they
can.
Leading the Blue Knights
was Ann Romanowski with four
goals and an assist. Amanda
Schwartz, Kristen Mericle and
Granger each finished with a
hat trick. Schwartz and Gran-
ger assisted on two goals.
To be honest with you, I
think the great thing about the
last two games is that theyve
been team wins, Kersey said.
So weve been able to play a
lot more players and our de-
fenses have gelled together.
There is no person who sticks
out because we were unselfish
with the ball.
Lexi Quick scored her lone
goal of the game at the 4:56
mark in the first half on a be-
hind-the-back flair shot to give
the Blue Knights a 12-1 lead.
The Blue Knights were held
to only one goal in the second
goal. Olivia Levine came off the
left wing to score off a pass
from Dinah Williams.
Wyoming Seminary was
boasted by a defensive corps
led by point Cat Corcoran, third
player Tali Dressler, and wings
Katie Perrine and Madison
Alphine that routinely
blocked shots and intercepted
passes.
Our attack is mainly aggres-
sive, Kersey said. On defense,
we were able to pressure the
ball in the midfield and create
turnovers.
Faith Torkildsen and Liz
Caldwell each scored two goals
for the Warriors.

Seminary rolls to

By JAY MONAHAN
For The Times Leader
ski said.
Dallas came out with more ag-
gression in the third quarter, fi-
nally finding some possession
and putting shots on goal. How-
ever, the Mountaineers only con-
verted once as Morgan Cohen
scored midway through the quar-
ter. DVs Phil Wright wracked up
some point-blank saves through-
out the quarter tokeepDallas at a
distance before Morley, Haass
and Lucas Markowitz added
goals in the fourth to close out
the game.

Hanover Area clinches Division II championship with win over Sem
The Times Leader staff
SCRANTON The three lead-
ers didnot budgefromtheir posi-
tion for more than 800 meters.
Reagan Rome of Dallas held
the lead while Tessa Barrett of
Abington Heights matched her
stride, inches behind, off her
right shoulder on the outside.
Honesdales Summer Hill
tucked in immediately behind
Rome and Barrett as they came
perilously close to tangling with
each other for more than half of
the 1,600-meter run in the Dis-
trict 2 Class 3A Track and Field
Championships on Wednesday.
Rome pulled her pursuers
along, forcing a rigorous pace
while at the same time hoping
she had enough left for the clos-
ing kick.
Going into the fourth lap, I
still had a lot left, so Imthinking
hopefully I can give this my all
and I wont get outkicked,
Rome said after pulling out the
first of her two distance wins to
finish as the Wyoming Valley
Conferences onlydouble winner
among girls. Last year, Summer
kicked by me. Ive had it happen
before.
Not this time.
When Hill finally moved past
Barrett in the final 200 meters,
Rome heldupby runningher fas-
test lap last, covering the final
400 meters in about 1:14 for a
winning time of 5:04.65.
I was hoping for my time to
be a little faster, Rome saidafter
winning the days most compet-
itive event. I didnt think I could
win with that time, but it was a
hard day to race.
The wind was at its strongest
during the 1,600 and four run-
ners finished under the state
qualifying standard.
District 2 competitors can ad-
vance to the PIAA Champion-
ships by finishing first or by
meeting the state standards. In a
combined 36 events for boys and
girls, only 10 non-winners quali-
fied by meeting the standards
and three of them were chasing
Rome fromthe time she took the
lead early in the second lap.
Hill finished in 5:05.20, Bar-
rett in 5:07.22 and Crestwoods
Hannah Coffin in 5:12.79 to beat
the standard of 5:13.37.
The wind was blowing and it
was dry out, said Rome, a soph-
omore who also won the 3,200
meters, but four of us qualified,
which is amazing.
Rome, Hill and Barrett have
pushed each other before, in-
cluding a 1-2-3 finish in that or-
der in the 2010 District 2 Cross
Country Championships when
Rome and Barrett were fresh-
men.
Weve raced against each oth-
er in cross country and track, so
we all know each other, Rome
said. Ive runagainst themsince
seventh grade.
Rome and Barrett had one
more race left. They finished 1-2
inthe 3,200, but Rome wonmore
comfortably, beating the pack by
almost half a minute in10:56.27.
After her1,600 win, Rome said
the plan was to compete in the
3,200onthe state level if she suc-
ceeded in qualifying in both.
My plan is to concentrate on
the two-mile, she said, but its
nicetoknowImgoingtostates.
Rome wound up not needing
that state berth in the 1,600 and
scratched fromthe state meet as
planned.
Hazleton Area won the team
championship with help from
two of the other sevenWVCgirls
who won individual titles.
Julia Franzosa threw the jave-
lin 135-10 to break the 3-year-old
record of 133-2 held by Ellen Ar-
naud of Dallas. She set the mark
on her third attempt and
watched her 13-foot advantage
hold up through the finals.
I already had a 134, so I was
hoping I could beat that record
today, said Franzosa, who add-
ed a fifth-place finish in the shot
put. We wanted to place at the
top as a team.
We worked real hard and we
support each other a lot.
Whitney Boyer won the high
jump in 5-1, a height matched by
teammate Lauren Smith while
finishing second.
Franzosa, Boyer and Smith
had plenty of help.
We scored in 14 of the 18
events, Hazleton Area coach
Mark Otterbine said. That was
more than we hoped for fromthe
girls. They did a tremendous
job.
The Cougars got a big boost in
the triple jump where Carli Ded-
ics, Alyssa Sitch and Justine
James finished second, fourth
and fifth.
Hazleton Area won with 95
1
3
points. Dallas, which also got a
win from Catie Gawlas in the
100, was second with 88.
Dannah Hayward of Coughlin
won the 300 hurdles and took
second in the100 hurdles behind
Hilari Norris of Wyoming Valley
West.

Tunkhannock teammate Alex
Nole finished third in 1:57.41,
missing a state berth by 9-hun-
dredths of a second.
Robinson won the 1,600 by
nearly 3 seconds over Jess
Adams of Dallas.
Karnopp cleared a season-best
14 feet in the pole vault, another
event where Dallas had the run-
ner-up. Drew Harding was sec-
ond with 13-3.
Wyoming Areas Nick OBrien
won the javelin.
OBriens 180-3 was good
enough to beat fellowstate qual-
ifier Robert Castellani of Valley
Veiw by just over a foot.
Chris Ehret of Dallas placed
second in the 3,200 in 9:25.11 to
make it to the PIAA meet.
Valley View won its team title
by sweeping all three relays.
Tunkhannock was fifth out of

KINGSTON Last week,
Wyoming Seminary earned
notoriety for two players reac-
hing the gold medal match in
the District 2 Class 2A singles
tournament.
The Blue Knights are two
wins away from doing the same
in the districts doubles tourna-
ment as they supply two of the
four teams remaining after
Wednesdays action at Kirby
Park.
The No. 1 seed, Harry Park-
hurst and Henry Cornell, won
twice Wednesday, only dropping
two games combined to advance
to the tournaments semifinals.
That duo is joined in the semis
by teammates Christopher Kim
and Willie Lu, who also won
twice during the first day of
action. The semifinals begin at 1
p.m. today and the finals will
follow at approximately 3 p.m.
Parkhurst and Cornell, the
defending district championship
team, will square off against No.
4 seed Jay Patel and Matt Hana-
hue of Scranton Prep. Kim and
Lu, who were the Blue Knights
No. 1 doubles team all season,
will see Scranton Preps Will
Cognetti and Walker Temperton
in the final four. Kim and Lu,
the third seed in the bracket,
won their first match 6-0, 6-1
and their quarterfinal match
against Holy Redeemers Pat
Loftus and Pat Dockeray 6-2, 6-1
to advance and face Cognetti
and Temperton, the second
seed.
Last week, Parkhurst knocked
off Cognetti in the singles semis
to advance to the finals where
he played his brother, George,
and settled for runner-up. An-
other upset of Cognetti today
could be another monumental
event for Wyoming Seminary.
The unseeded team of Chris
Jordan and Isaac Mitchell from
Montrose, pulled off a pair of
upsets Wednesday. In the first
round, they dropped Meyers
No. 7 team of Matt James and
Branden Ott. In the second
round, they ousted Dallas team
of Ryan McCarthy and Blake
Donovan to get to the quarterfi-
nals, where they eventually lost
to Cognetti and Temperton.
In Class 3A, Tunkhannocks
Jordan Herbert and Brent Chris-
ty won twice Wednesday before
losing in three sets in the quar-
terfinals to Abington Heights
Chris Swisher and Steven
Shields. The Tigers team was
seeded fourth and was defeated
by the No. 5 seed.
Like 2A, where the semis
consist of just Wyoming Semi-
nary and Scranton Prep, the 3A
final four is split between Dela-
ware Valley and Abington
Heights.

Berwick triumphs,
sets up showdown
WRIGHT TWP. Some
teams cant wait for the postsea-
son to arrive.
Two of them got an early
glimpse of the playoffs Wednes-
day.
Crestwood hosted North
Pocono in a match that will
most likely be played again
Monday in the first round of the
District 2 Class 2A Champion-
ships. If Wednesdays match was
an indication of whats in store,
the teams and fans will be in for
quite a show.
The Trojans won 3-0, by
scores of 25-14, 25-21, 25-23 in a
close match, that consisted of
intense on both sides of the net
and two of the big hitters in the
Wyoming Valley Conference in
Crestwoods Jake Prohaska and
North Poconos Dom Verdetto.
The only way the Trojans
(11-1) and Comets (10-2) wont
meet on Monday is if Tunk-
hannock (8-3) upsets Holy Re-
deemer (11-0) today. That would
setup a tie-breaking match be-
tween North Pocono and Holy
Redeemer for the WVC title and
Pocono would have to win the
tiebreaker.
If the upset doesnt occur, the
Royals will play Lake-Lehman
(8-4) in the first round with the
Trojans and Comets match to
start earlier in the day at Holy
Redeemer.
It definitely puts fire under
our wings and I think its going
to carry us through, Verdetto
said about the win over the
Comets. It gives us confidence,
but we know we have to take it
one step at a time and keep
progressing each game.
In Wednesdays action, the
Trojans came out on fire, hitting
everything at the Comets and
inducing them into several
errors. It was senior night for
Crestwood and they may have
been a little too ramped up as
the team gave North Pocono 13
points on hitting miscues and a
yellow card.
Verdetto also helped the Tro-
jans to the 25-14 victory with
two aces and three kills in the
first game, including a hard
smash for the game-winner. The
only time the Comets held a
lead was when the score was
6-5.
I think our unforced ball-
handling is what killed us today.
That and I thought we missed a
few serves. Even on the serves
we were serving in they were a
little weak, Crestwood coach
Mike Williams said. Against a
high-powered offense like that
you cant do that. Hopefully
today was a really good learning
experience. Thats what Im
hoping.
In Game 2, the Comets set-
tled down and were much closer
to the Trojans, holding several
leads in a match that consisted
of eight lead changes and 11 ties.
North Pocono didnt pull away
until the final five points were
scored and the score went from
21-20 to 25-21. Brent Bisignani
(3 points, 7 kills, 10 digs, 2
blocks) ended the second game
with a booming kill for North
Pocono.
Crestwood appeared to be in
control throughout the third
game with a six-point lead at
one time, 13-8. But Trojans
coach Jud Holdredge called a
timeout to regroup his team.
After that, the Trojans battled
back to within one point three
times before overtaking the
Comets at 22-21 then winning
25-23.
In addition to big kills, the
Trojans defense was all over the
court making several diving digs
and key blocks to hold the
Comets from getting a point.
Our defense was tough to-
night and thats what weve been
practicing, Holdredge said. If
we keep the ball off the floor
and let them beat themselves
theres a big difference in our
game Im pleased with the
win, but Monday could be a
whole different game.
Brent Morrell chipped in five
kills and one block for North
Pocono, while Prohaska led the
Comets with 11 kills, four digs
and four blocks. Pat Henry reg-
istered 10 kills and four digs for
Crestwood, and Nick Banos
contributed with 18 assists and
three blocks.
Spartans open regional play
Wyoming Valley West won its
fourth District 2 Class 3A cham-
pionship in six years with a
record of 8-4 and will now repre-
sent the WVC and D2 in the
Class 3A Subregional with Dis-
trict 11. WVW advances to the
event by having the best record
on the 3A teams in the district.
The Spartans play the first
match of the tournament today
at Parkland at 5:30 p.m. against
the host team. The Trojans are
ranked seventh in the state and
the winner of todays match will
face the winner of the Fridays
quarterfinal match between
Liberty and Whitehall. The
tournaments semifinals are
slated for Tuesday with the
finals scheduled for Thursday,
May 24.
In previous seasons, the tour-
nament consisted of pool play,
but last year the format was
changed to a tournament style.
Coughlin 3, Berwick 0
The Crusaders won by scores
of 25-17, 25-16, 25-16 as Richard
Poplawski belted 18 kills to go
with five digs and three service
points. Kevin Zingaretti also
reach double figures in kills
with 10. He also netted three
assists and eight points. Arthur
Reilly was key on defense for
Coughlin with eight digs, while
Devon Davis contributed with
12 points, five kills and three
aces.
For Berwick, Matt Cashman
(3 points, 2 kills, 2 digs, 2
blocks) and Cody George (4
points, 3 assists, 3 digs) helped
the team.
Valley West 3, Dallas 0
The Spartans won Mondays
match by scores of 25-18, 25-10
25-17 led by Chris Spellmans 12
points, two kills and six digs.
Mark Burridge (7 points, 3 aces,
5 kills, 6 digs) and Dylan Sane-
holtz (6 points, 9 digs, 20 as-
sists) also helped the team to
victory.

J.P. Arencibia added a two-run
drive and the Toronto Blue
Jays beat the New York Yan-

ing a career-high.
Blue Jays right-hander Kyle
Drabek (3-4) snapped a four-
start losing streak, scattering
three hits over seven innings
to win for the first time since
April 15 against Baltimore. He
walked four and struck out
five.
Arencibia had three hits and
scored twice, helping Toronto
snap a three-game losing
streak and giving the Blue

streak.
Hellickson (4-0) allowed
one run and five hits en route
to winning a career-best sixth
consecutive decision, dating
to Sept. 4. He struck out six
and walked two.
Tampa Bay second baseman
Will Rhymes left in the eighth
inning after being hit by a
pitch near his right elbow.
While standing at first base he
gestured that he wanted to
come out of the game, took a
couple of steps and collapsed
into the arms of first base
coach George Hendrick.
Twins 11, Tigers 7
DETROIT Jamey Carroll
hit a two-run double in the
sixth inning to give Minnesota
the lead, and the Twins out-
lasted the sloppy Detroit Ti-
gers.
The Tigers still led 7-6
when Carroll came up with
men on first and second in the
sixth. His double off Duane
Below (2-1) scored both run-
ners.
Brian Dozier hit a three-run
homer for Minnesota in the
second, and Trevor Plouffes
two-run shot in the ninth
made it 11-7.

Rauch in the eighth and the
Cincinnati Reds beat the New
York Mets 6-3 on Wednesday
night.
Pinch-hitter Jay Bruce drove
in the go-ahead run on a sacri-
fice fly one out after the Reds
put together three straight hits
off Rauch (3-2), ending with
Phillips single. Rauch retired
Chris Heisey on a popup before
left-hander Tim Byrdak came
on to face the lefty-hitting
Bruce. After that, D.J. Carrasco
came on and gave up Fraziers
second homer on his first
pitch.
Phillies 9, Cubs 2
CHICAGO Carlos Ruiz hit
a tiebreaking solo homer in the
eighth inning and Philadelphia
used Hector Lunas first career
grand slam to pull away

scored the tying run in the

Shawn Camp (2-2) that was
caught at the warning track in

that reached the bleachers in
left.

for his 1,000th career hit after
homering for No. 999, and Gio
Gonzalez took over the NL
strikeout lead from teammate
Stephen Strasburg by fanning
10 in seven innings, leading the
Washington Nationals past the
Pittsburgh Pirates.
Hitting cleanup while Mi-
chael Morse is on the disabled
list, LaRoche leads the Nation-
als with seven homers and 29
RBIs. Talk about a turnaround:
LaRoche hit .172 with three
homers in 43 games in 2011
before having left shoulder
surgery.
Marlins 8, Braves 4
ATLANTA Giancarlo
Stanton hit a two-run homer
and possibly saved two runs

Ostrowski remains incarcerat-
ed after being indicted by a feder-
al grand jury.
Meanwhile, the Royals pro-
gram is looking for better days
ahead. School administration
met with the football players re-
cently and discussed the situa-
tion with them. The programhas
returned to its regular schedule
after facing the turmoil.
Theyve been taking it hard,
Aquilina said of the Royals play-
ers. But they are tough kids.
Theyve been through a lot but
they got back to working out
Monday and are getting ready for
next season.
Hopes within the Royals com-
munity are for the program to re-
turn to the win column. Holy Re-
deemer has lost its last 21games,
with its last win coming Oct. 31,
2009, in a 26-6 triumph over Nan-
ticoke.
Aquilina said the school plans
to begin screening candidates af-
ter the Memorial Day holiday
and he hopes to be able to name a
coach by mid-June.
Applications may be emailed

COACH
tons 32 points in the second
quarter and the Celtics became
the first teamto winby double di-
gits. Game 1 and Game 2 were
each decided by one point.
RajonRondo had23 points and
14 assists. Paul Pierce, playing
with a banged-up knee, had 24
points and 12 rebounds.
Game 4 is Friday in Philadel-
phia.
Garnett had somehow become
forgotten in Bostons offense in
Game 2 until the fourth quarter.
CoachDoc Rivers saidtheCeltics
simply werent going to the 16-
year veteran because they had es-
tablished an offensive presence
in the low post.
The Celtics wouldnt let that
happen again.
They needed Garnett at his
best in Philadelphia, where the
Sixers had won their last four
postseason games.
So much for that minor streak.
Garnett yappedhis way downthe
court after several big early buck-
ets and clearly enjoyed taking it
to the Sixers. He buried those 10
to 16 footers with ease in the sec-
ond quarter to turn a seven-point
deficit into a 13-point lead.
The Celtics again heard the
whispers that they were too wea-
ry, too old to have their cham-
pionship experience matter
against the up-tempo Sixers.
Pierce is gutting out an MCL
injury in his left knee that has
robbed him of his jumper and
slowed him down on both sides
of the ball. He scored only 21
points combined in the first two
games andfailedto be the impact
player the Celtics needed if they
want to play deeper in the post-
season.
He charged the lane in the first
quarter for a couple of angry-
looking dunks. He even pounded
the backboard for emphasis after
one as if to show the Sixers he
still had some lift in those legs.
Hell needto do it againto hold
off the Sixers.
Thaddeus Young scored 22
points and Jrue Holiday had 15
for the Sixers. Lou Williams and
Jodie Meeks each scored 13.
Starters Elton Brand, Spencer
Hawes and Evan Turner com-
bined for only 11 points.
Wearing their matching red
76ers logo T-shirts, fans fled for
the exits at the 6-minute mark
and the Sixers down 101-76.
The Sixers hadnt hosted a sec-
ond-round game since 2003,
whencoachLarry BrownandAll-
Star Allen Iverson ruled the
town. Julius Ervingwalkedout to
a roaring ovation when he pre-
sented the game ball and Eagles
quarterback Michael Vick
watched from a suite.

NEW YORK David Clar-
ksons deflectedgoal 2:31into the
thirdperiodsnappedatieandlift-
ed the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2
victory over the New York Rang-
ers that evened the Eastern Con-
ference finals at one game apiece
on Wednesday night.
Clarkson built off the momen-
tum created by Ryan Carters
goal late in the second period
that tied the game, 2-2. Ilya Ko-
valchukhadgiventhe Devils a1-0
lead with a power-play goal in the
first. Defenseman Bryce Salva-
dor added two assists, and Mar-
tin Brodeur stopped 23 saves for
the win.
We had to keep going to the
net, and I think we were doing
some good things, Clarkson
said. Weve been playing some
good hockey and weve got to
continue to do it. That is a big
win for us.
Marc Staal and Chris Kreider
scoredinthesecondfor theRang-
ers, who lost their third straight
Game 2 after winning the series
opener. Top-seeded New York,
which had 24 saves by Henrik
Lundqvist, hasnt had a two-
game lead at any point in these
playoffs.
Game 3 will be Saturday in
New Jersey.
NewJersey got even at 2 when
Salvador wound up for a shot at
the blue line andfireda drive that
Carter with his back to the net
brilliantly deflected past
Lundqvist with 1:51 left in the
second. MarianGaborikstoodup
straight in front of Salvador, but
didnt drop down as many of his
teammates have to try to block
the shot. For that, he was pinned
tothe benchbycoachJohnTorto-
rella, even through New Yorks
power play in the third.
Gaborik returned to the ice
with 8:40 remaining.
The Devils kept the pressure
on the Rangers at the start of the
third and wiped out the good
work New York displayed in the
second. After spending much of
the first penned in their own end,
the Rangers rebounded to erase
their early deficit and briefly take
the lead thanks to their previous-
ly inept power play.
With Alexei Ponikarovsky off
for interference, Staal fired a shot
that sailed wide of the net and
struck the back boards before
poppingbackinfront andpinball-
ing into the net off Salvador and
Brodeur at 2:23. The goal was
originally credited to Derek Ste-
pan, who was in front, but the
puck managed to miss him both
on the way toward the net and on
the bounce back.
Staal nearly netted another
moments later when he ripped a
drive that Brodeur had to lunge
fully to his left to snare with his
glove.
Kreider, the rookie from Bos-
ton College, scored for the sec-
ond straight game to give the
Rangers a 2-1lead at 12:19. Anton
Stralmanlet go a shot fromabove
the right circle that ticked Kreid-
ers stick and fluttered past Bro-
deur for the rookies fourth goal.
He had to wait to get it because it
was first givento Stralmanbefore
being changed during a commer-
cial break.
But that was hardly the longest
delay of the night. Before Kreid-
ers power-play goal, the action
was stopped for about eight min-
utes as arena workers struggled
to get the door to the Devils pen-
alty box opened. Travis Zajac
stood patiently as he waited to
have a seat in the box. He even
managedto laughas didNewJer-
sey coach Peter DeBoer and the
usually stoic and agitated Torto-
rella.
Zajac, who first was sent to the
Rangers box, stayed in New Jer-
seys sin bin for only 1:47 before
Kreider scored the Rangers sec-
ond power-play goal of the night.
New York registered the first
six shots of the period before
New Jersey had its first about 8
minutes in, but the teams were
even at 17 through 40 minutes.
Lundqvist had a bit of glove
magic of his own midway
through the second when a shot
by Anton Volchenkov was de-
flected by Kovalchuk but tracked
and grabbed by Lundqvist.
The Devils got their elusive
first goal of the series, and the all-
important lead in the game,
when Kovalchuk connected on
the power play late in the first pe-
riod.
The Devils didnt record a shot
on goal until 6:01 in when Patrik
Elias put a wrist shot in on
Lundqvist, but New Jersey fin-
ished the first period with an 8-5
edge in shots despite having
six more blocked by the Rangers.

I was pretty stressed out, Ut-
ter said, but I wanted to make
sure they didnt make as many
goals as we did.
For Johnson, it was showing
her coach she can be counted up-
on.
I never really taken PKs be-
fore, Johnson said, but I was
confident I could get it because
Ive done them in practice and
worked hard and really wanted to
get that goal.
After North Poconos Alyssa
Hamill and Hanover Areas Sam
Masher openedtheshootout with
goals, North Pocono took a 2-1
lead when Michelle Stefanelli
cashed in. Utter then made two
consecutive saves to preserve the
advantage.
That was clutch, Davis said,
because she wasnt as solid as
she usually is in regulation. We
talked to her after regulation be-
cause we thought about putting
another keeper infor her. Shesaid
Absolutely not. Its my senior
year. I want to be the one.

WASHINGTON Roger
Clemens lawyer toyed with
Brian McNamees memory and
attacked him from several di-
rections at once. The attorney
even put an easel next to the
witness with the words: MIS-
TAKE. BAD MEMORY. LIE.
Eventually, there came the in-
evitable question: Do you
sometimes just make stuff up?
McNamee has frequently tak-
en long pauses before answer-
ing questions in three days on
the witness stand, but he didnt
hesitate this time. He leaned in-
to the microphone and said
softly but assuredly: I didnt
make it up.
Clemens chief accuser was
onthe standfor twohours of ag-
gressive cross-examination
Wednesday on one of the most
important days perhaps the
most important in the perju-
ry trial of the seven-time Cy
Young Award winning pitcher.
Clemens is charged with lying
when he told Congress in 2008
that he never used steroids or
human growth hormone.
McNamee has testified he in-
jected Clemens with both, and
the credibility of Clemens for-
mer friend and longtime
strength coach will no doubt be
the No. 1 topic when the jury
starts deliberating the case.
Going for style over sub-
stance, Clemens lawyer Rusty
Hardin was as colorful as his
outfit bright orange tie,
cream-colored suit and con-
tinued his practice of mispro-
nouncing the witness name.
He skipped from topic to topic
without warning, often confus-
ing McNamee while trying to
sowseeds of doubt inthe jurors
minds.
McNamee, who has now
spent 12 hours on the stand
with more to come Thursday,
alternated between fidgety and
focused. At various times he
looked curiously at the cour-
troom ceiling, draped his arm
around his chair, or leaned for-
ward to scratch an itchy foot
while Hardin was asking ques-
tions. McNamee sometimes
seemed perplexed by simple
yes-or-no questions and stum-
bled through an answer about
his birthday.
Other times, he was more
firmand direct. He complained
when Hardin asked him a con-
voluted, multipart question:
Which one do you want me to
answer? Pick one, Hardin re-
plied.
Hardin was perhaps most ef-
fective when he got McNamee
to agree that his memory had
improved once McNamee be-
gan cooperating with federal in-
vestigators looking into ste-
roids and baseball.
Is it true that ever since you
began making these accusa-
tions about Mr. Clemens, your
memory and versions of what
happened and details have sort
of evolved? Hardin asked.
Yes sir, McNamee answer-
ed.
Hardin asked if McNamee
had intentionally lied to in-
vestigators.
Yes sir, McNamee replied.
McNamee testified earlier in
the week that he originally min-
imized Clemens involvement
with performance-enhancing
drugs in what he said was an ef-
fort to protect the pitcher.

Trainer Brian McNamee leaves federal court in Washington on
Wednesday after testifying in the Roger Clemens perjury trial.
CHICAGOHowabout a na-
tional championshipgame inDe-
troit? Or Minneapolis? What
about Boston or New York?
With college football headed
toward a playoff, Big Ten admin-
istrators this week came out in
favor of staging those games in
bowls, a stepthat wouldkeepthe
conferences longstanding ties to
the Rose Bowl.
But league officials said they
could see the title game being
played in cities other than the
usual suspects in California,
Florida and Louisiana, though
they did not offer any specific
suggestions.
I think the championship
game in any scenario is going to
be independently bid, not part of
the bowl situation, Commis-
sioner Jim Delany said Wednes-
day after wrapping up two days
of meetings. If you looked at the
options that we brought back to
our conferences one is inside
the bowl, one is outside the bowl
in either case, I think the in-
formation indicated that the
championship game would be
bid out.
Aplayoff, likely to include four
teams, is expected as soon as the
2014 season, replacing the cur-
rent No. 1 vs. No. 2 BCS cham-
pionship matchup that has rotat-
ed among the Sugar, Orange,
Fiesta and Rose
Bowl sites.
Michigan
athletic direc-
tor David Bran-
don said the ti-
tle game is go-
ing to be huge
wherever it is
played, but there are more imme-
diate issues at hand, mainly de-
termining the championship
field. Options include taking the
top four teams in a poll, the four
highest-ranked conference
champions or some combination
of both, and none is a cure for the
current controversies.
If anything, they couldbe mag-
nified.
Picking the two teams for the
national championship game is
already complicated. Adding
more spots to the mix probably
wont make it easier.
We have a system thats been
pretty good at determining the
No. 1 and No. 2 ranked teams,
Brandon said. If you go back in
history theres been a high corre-
lation between the No. 1 and No.
2 ranked teams of one of them
becoming the national cham-
pion. Our ability to know who
truly deserves to be No. 3 and
No. 4 and No. 5 and No. 6 is far
less accurate.
Brandon said he is very con-
cerned about the possibility of
teams playingupto15games ina
season 12 on the schedule,
plus the Big Ten championship,
a bowl and the national title
game, for example. But he said
he is fine with the four-team for-
mat.

SOUTHBEND, Ind. Prosecu-
tors chargedNotreDamelineback-
er Carlo Calabrese with a misde-
meanor count of intimidation
Wednesday for allegedly making
threatening remarks to a police of-
ficer after quarterback Tommy
Rees was arrestednear anoff-cam-
pus party.
The St. Joseph County Prosecu-
tors Office announced its decision
less than two weeks after police
recommendedonMay3that hebe
charged with misdemeanor disor-
derly conduct.
Accordingtoaprobablecauseaf-
fidavit, South Bend Police Officer
DorianFinleysaidhearrivedat the
party after another officer had
chased someone who fled the par-
ty and reported that he was in a
fight. Finley said about 12 people
began gathering on the street
aroundofficersandhetoldthemto
get on the sidewalk.
Calabresebecamevocal andsaid
Rees was his teammate, Finley
said. Calabrese then walked to-
ward the curb while talking on the
phone, but remainedonthe street.
Finley said he again asked Cala-
bresetoget onthesidewalk. Finley
said after a brief verbal exchange,
Calabresesteppedonthesidewalk,
but then walked back into the
street. He then asked Finley if he
was a Notre Dame football fan.
WhenRees was takenaway, Fin-
ley said Calabrese told him: My
people will get you. Finley asked
Calabrese whether he was threat-
ening him, and Finley said Cala-
breserepeated: Mypeoplewill get
you.
Finley said people in the crowd
grabbedCalabreseandwalkedhim
toward the house. Finley returned
to his car. But when he sawa com-
motion, Finley walked back and
saw people restraining Calabrese.
Finley ordered Calabrese to come
tohim. Finleysays Calabresewalk-
ed away and said he was done.
Finley said when he again ordered
Calabrese to come to him, Cala-
brese started walking faster. So
Finleyranafterhimandplacedhim
under arrest.
Calabresewasreleasedlaterona
$150 bond.
That all happened after Rees
was pepper-sprayed and arrested
after he allegedly ran from away
and knocked the wind out of a po-
lice officer who caught up to him
and continued to resist even after
being knocked down. Police said
Rees was among about five people
who jumped a backyard fence and
ran after officers arrived to break
up the party.

Penneys stock plunges
J.C. Penney on Tuesday reported a
larger-than-expected first-quarter loss
largely because customers were turned
off by the retailers new plan to get rid
of big sales throughout the year in
favor of everyday low pricing.
The company, based in Plano, Texas,
lost $163 million, or 75 cents a share, in
the three months ended April 28, com-
pared with a profit of $64 million, or 28
cents a share, in the year-ago period.
Penney shares soared 24 percent to
about $43 after the strategy was an-
nounced in late January. But since the
middle of February after the new
pricing was rolled out in stores in-
vestors have sent shares much lower.
They closed at $26.75 Wednesday,
down nearly 20 percent.
Ron Johnson, Penneys CEO, ac-
knowledged that the first quarter was
tougher than anticipated.
Local casinos table games
revenues are down
While overall table game gross reve-
nue was up this April from last April at
the states 11 operating casinos, it was
down at the two local casinos.
Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs in
Plains Township saw gross revenues
from its 84 table games fall 11 percent
to $3,204,049. Mount Airy, in Paradise
Township, Monroe County, saw gross
revenue drop 8.4 percent to $2,881,681
for its 72 tables.
The statewide numbers were buoyed
by the opening of the new Valley Forge
Casino and its 50 tables plus the addi-
tion statewide of 112 tables since last
April. Overall, gross revenue was
$56,499,624, and increase of 6.8 per-
cent.

USE OF MOBILE
phones during the
flight are strictly
prohibited.
If youve ever
flown on an airplane,
youve heard that
phrase, or something
like it. The world over, travelers have
been forced to sit down, shut up and
not use the one device they cant
stand to be parted from their
phones.
Theres a reason for the rule, of
course. While its highly unlikely any
given electronic device will interfere
with an aircrafts systems, there are
so many new devices emitting so
many different types of radio signals
its impossible to rule out the possi-
bility that some day, somewhere,
someones iPhone will ruin everyones
day.
And despite comprehensive testing
that indicates that its very difficult
for a mobile device to cause problems
on a modern aircraft, they have been
implicated in several cases where
aircraft experienced guidance issues.
Even so, there doesnt appear to have
been any documented instance when
a single device has conclusively
caused issues for an aircraft. The FAA
and other governing agencies have
opted (wisely, I feel) to take a better-
safe-than-sorry approach and have
banned the use of mobile phones in
flight.
When you have a 200-ton alumi-
num tube crammed with people hur-
tling through the air at 550 mph,
caution is probably warranted.
Nonetheless, the exigencies of
modern life have begun to override
caution. For years, passengers have
been able to place calls from aircraft
using the AirFone system that ser-
vice was largely discontinued a few
years ago, likely due to the fact that
placing a 5-minute call could double
your fare. Several airlines have begun
to allow fliers to use Wifi service and
send SMS messages in flight, albeit
with limited bandwidth.
Now Virgin Atlantic has upped the
ante and is allowing cellphone calls
while in flight, for what they claim to
be a normal roaming rate. The
phones wont connect to normal
cellular towers; rather, equipment on
the aircraft will provide access to the
cellular network via a service called
AeroMobile. They arent the first: As
early as 2008, Emirates Airline, based
in the United Arab Emirates, was
using the same service.
Dont start booking flights just yet
you wont be able to place calls
while youre within 250 miles of U.S.
controlled airspace, and you still
wont be able to place calls while
taking off or landing. Even so, being
able to place calls while on a trans-
Atlantic flight will certainly be useful.
But I have to ask: Do we really,
really want to add the din of cell-
phone conversation to an 8-hour
flight? Snoring, screaming children
and hysterical airline personnel are
bad enough. And sure, its great for
you to be able to talk, but imagine
having to listen to everyone on the
plane trying to talk over one another
the whole time.
You dont even have the consola-
tion of waiting for the batteries to run
down theyre adding USB charging
stations so everyone can yammer on
for as long as theyd like.

PLAINSTWP. OnWednesday, Fran-
klin Security Bank became the latest
Pennsylvania banktofile anapplication
with the state Banking Department
seeking to convert from a federal sav-
ings associationtoone charteredby the
state.
Ifapproved, therewill benoimpacton
customers whatsoever, said Margaret
Steele, vice president of marketing for
thelocallyownedbankwithbranchesin
Plains TownshipandScranton.
Shesaidaccountsarestill federallyin-
sured, thesameproductswill beoffered.
She added the bank will still be govern-
ed by the same requirements and regu-
lations, it will just be another depart-
ment handlingthem.
She said the requested change was
spurred by the Office of Thrift Supervi-
sion being absorbed last July by the Of-
fice of the Comptroller of the Currency.
While those not involved with the
bankingindustrydidnt paymuchatten-
tion to the matter, the 700 trust banks,
thrifts and other institutions that were
charteredby the OTSdid.
Franklin Security went from being
regulated by an agency that dealt with
small banking institutions to one that
oversaw the big boys on the block in-
cluding Wells Fargo, Bank of America,
Chase and other multi-states behe-
moths.
EdwardNovakIII, spokesmanfor the
Pennsylvania Banking Department,
said in the past 18 months, seven banks
have switched their charters from the
federal savings associationtothe state.
They include: William Penn Bank,
Bucks County; Third Bank, Bucks
County; RiverviewBank, PerryCounty;
Liverpool Community Bank, Perry
County; First Northern Bank & Trust,
Carbon County; Univest, Montgomery
County; andCressonCommunityBank,
Cambria County.
Novaksaidthedepartment has heard
fromseveral banks that the uncertainty
withthe OCCoversight was one reason
fortheconversion, buthesaidthestates
Banking Department has an excellent
reputation for regulating the industry
and smaller banks have indicated they
feel more comfortable witha regulator
closer to home that understands their
marketplace.
Were a little bit more accessible,
Novak noted. And about three quarters
of the states banks 160 in total -- are
chartered by the department. Among
thebanksoperatinglocallythatarechar-
tered by the state are Landmark Com-
munity Bank in Pittston, Luzerne Bank
in Luzerne, Fidelity Deposit and Dis-
count inDunmore, PennSecurity Bank

WASHINGTON The govern-
ment wants you to know that simply
sporting a pair of Skechers fitness
shoes is not going to get you Kim Kar-
dashians curves or Brooke Burkes
toned tush.
Skechers USA Inc. will pay $40 mil-
lion to settle charges by the Federal
Trade Commission that the footwear
company made unfounded claims that
its Shape-ups shoes would help people
lose weight and strengthen their butt,
leg and stomach muscles. Kardashian,
Burke and other celebrities endorsed
the shoes in Skechers ads.
The settlement is related to a broad-
er agreement alsoannouncedWednes-
day that resolves a multi-state investi-
gation led by the attorneys general
from Tennessee and Ohio and involv-
ing more than 40 states. The company
will provide anadditional $5millionto
the states, and pay $5 million in class-
action attorney fees.
Wednesdays settlement also in-
volves the companys Resistance Run-
ner, Toners and Tone-ups shoes and
claims of deceptive advertising for
those shoes as well.
Consumers who bought the shoes
would be eligible for refunds, though
its not clear how much money theyll
get. The FTCsays that will depend on
how many claims are received in the
eight-month filing period. Buyers can
go to the FTC website to file a claim.
Most of the $40 million federal set-
tlement would be returned to consum-
ers, but a small amount of the settle-
ment would be used to administer the
payouts.
The FTCs message, for Skechers
and other national advertisers, is to
shape up your substantiation or tone
down your claims, said David Vla-
deck, director of the agencys consum-
er protection bureau. For millions of
consumers, he said, the only thing
that got a workout was their wallet.
The commission settled similar
charges with Reebok last year over its
EasyTone walking shoes andRunTone
runningshoes. That $25millionagree-
ment also provided customer refunds.
Skechers denied the allegations but
said it settled to avoid long litigation.
The company, based in Manhattan
Beach, Calif., said it has received over-
whelmingly enthusiastic feedback
about the shoes fromthousands of cus-
tomers.
Skechers billedits Shape-ups as a fit-
ness tool designed to promote weight
loss and tone muscles.

Now that the
wind has shifted
to the north, an
invasion of cool
dry air has
begun. Of
course, you can
see and feel the
difference out-
side this morn-
ing, and skies
will remain
sunny all after-
noon. Heading
into Friday
morning, there
may be some
frost, but only
in the normally
colder spots
outside of town.
On the weather
map, a stead-
fast ridge of
high pressure
will control the
elements this
weekend,
sponsoring
more sunshine
and warmer
temperatures
and, for a
change, no rain
for the Fine Arts
Fiesta here in
town. Our rainfall
this month now
stands at 2.8
inches above
normal.

NATIONAL FORECAST: A fairly quiet weather pattern can be expected across the nation today. There
will be a few scattered thunderstorms over the Southeast for the late afternoon into the evening. A
storm system will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over the northern Rockies. A few
thunderstorms will also be possible from the Upper Midwest into the northern Great Lakes.

Every parent of a kindergartener has
probably experienced a childs tantrum,
but few would expect law enforcement
to intervene. After Salecia Johnson, 6,
was handcuffed and taken to the police
stationfor throwinga tantrumat her ele-
mentary school in Milledgeville, Ga., it
left many asking, when is a tantrumjust
a passing tantrumand when is it a cause
for concern?
Even if there is no prior history of de-
structive (behavior), there may be signs
of less severe behavior that are things to
watch out for, said Dr. Kindell Schoffn-
er, a psychologist at Childrens Health-
care of Atlanta. A 6-year-olds brain is
still growing, and because of that, their
ability to cope with frustration and diffi-
cult situations is not as good as an older
child.
Milledgeville police accused the kin-
dergartner of simple battery and proper-
ty damage for knocking pictures from
the wall, scribbling on walls and doors,
slamming chairs and upending a book-
case, injuring the school principal.
Candace Ruff, the childs aunt who ac-
companied the mother to the police sta-
tion where the girl was held, said this
was the first time the girl exhibited such
extreme behavior. She acts out as a reg-
ular 6-year-old, but she has never had a
tantrum this extreme before, Ruff said.
Ruff also stated that according to the
school principal, Salecia had at one
point calmed down, apologized for her
behavior and asked to go home.
I think the school should have
brought in the school counselor to ad-
dress the child, Ruff said. If the coun-
selor could not make ends meet with the
child, a social worker could have been
brought in to try to get some help in that
regard.
Children have a wide range of behav-
iors, Schoffner said, and even older chil-
dren well past the tantrum-filled terrible
twos, canrevert toprevious ways of func-
tioning. There may be something else
going on in a childs life that may lead to
regressive behaviors, or a child may not
be caught up developmentally with her
peers, she said. Or she may have some
underlying, long-standing emotional be-
havioral problems that have not shown
themselves, so she never gained appro-
priate coping skills.
When a tantrum becomes cause for concern
By NEDRA RHONE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
MCT ILLUSTRATION
Move the child to a private place as
quickly as possible. That doesnt mean
physically restraining the child but simply
guiding him or her to a safe, quiet area.
Do not call attention to the behavior
itself. Do not ignore the child but ignore
the tantrum by not making specific com-
ments about it such as stop crying.
Engage in calming activities. Quietly
playing on the floor even if the child
continues to cry and scream can help a
child de-escalate emotionally. Dont force
the child to engage, just do the activity
and allow the child to cool down and make
the next step of engaging in the activity
on his or her own.

TAME THAT TANTRUM

P
erhaps its not thechildrenof Hugh-
estown who are getting the most
enjoyment out of Robert Yaple Me-
morial Park.
We have to talk her into getting off the
swings every night, Parks and Recreation
committee member Carmen Ambrosino
joked about council member Marie Gri-
glock, who stood nearby laughing and nod-
ding in agreement.
The park, with appeal to all ages, came
about in 2009 due to hard work by the peo-
ple of Hughestown.
Ambrosino helped lead a community-driven campaign to
raise money for the park, which was in rough shape.
It was antiquated and probably unsafe, he said. It was
very old, so we decided to take the project on.
The town received $45,000 through the Department of
Community and Economic Development in a campaign led
by Rep. Mike Carroll, but it was the money residents
brought in that astonished.
We went on a fundraiser and were able to raise about
$25,000 on our own from residents and businesses in the
area, Ambrosino said.
Community help didnt stop there.
Not only did everyone pitch in raising money, but they
helped put the whole thing together, council president

Wayne Quick said. About 75 res-
idents came out andput ina days
work. It took one
very long day, but it
was funandworked
out well.
The park has the
typical swings and
slides, plus a fire en-
gine to play in and
several climbingap-
paratuses. Its also
surrounded by
three fields and a
walking track, as
well as a building
thats recently been
used annually as a
way to bring every-
one together.
We have a pavil-
ionwhere we holda
Picnic in the Park
every summer,
Ambrosino said.
Its all free and in-
cludes entertain-
ment, hamburgers and hot dogs.
We try to keep it old-fashioned,
and we do sack races, water-bal-
loon and egg tosses for the kids.
We want people to come out
and get to know one another,
Quick said.
For all the equipment on the
playground, theres still room for
more.
Youll notice that we left
spaces here and there, and thats
because we plan to expand, Am-
brosino said. We just need to
identifythe funds todoso. We are
hoping to be able to add one new
thing a year.
Ultimately, wed like to say to
the children What do you like?
What do you en-
joy? Their feed-
back really
counts.
If it were up to
7-year-old Shane
Balchune, there
would be a lot
more things to
scale. He favors a
yellow dome-
shaped object
made of steel bars
that allows chil-
drentotrektothe
top of the moun-
tain.
His mother,
Geanna, who has
lived in Hughes-
town her whole
life, is just happy
the park is there.
Its gorgeous.
They did a really
good job, she said. We actually
come here twice a week if the
weather is good. Were very fortu-
nate to have something like this.

Ruff said the family was not aware of
any conditions or events that may have
led to Salecias behavior. The girl has said
she doesnt want to return to school, Ruff
said, andthe familyis planningtohave Sa-
lecia speak with a counselor to help her
process her feelings about what hap-
pened.
Certain behaviors, Schoffner said,
should sound the alarm for parents and
school officials that a childmayneedhelp.
Aggressive behavior, such as breaking ob-
jects, throwing things, kicking, biting or
spitting at people and objects may be
cause for deeper investigation, she said.
Verballythreateningbehavior or cryingor
screaming that goes onlonger thanfive or
10 minutes are additional signs that a
child may be having more than a simple
tantrum.
Parents, said Schoffner, should discuss
any suchbehaviors withthe childs pediat-
rician, who can help assess the situation
and make the appropriate referrals.
School officials, she said, can enlist a be-
havioral specialist tomeet withparents. It
is also important that schools have a plan
and follow it.
Schools typically are legally required
to have a plan in place for difficult behav-
ior, tantrums, and aggressive behavior. It
is really important that it be reviewed
with all staff on a regular basis,: Schoffner
said. If they have a plan in place and peo-
ple arent sure what that is, in a crisis it is
very difficult for them to recall that infor-
mation and use it.

Dear Abby: Search-
ing for Me in Texas
(March 4) is not
alone! A wave of 78
million baby boom-
ers will soon leave
30-plus-year careers
and are looking for-
ward to an estimated 20 more years
of life.
A vast majority of them are looking
for meaningful opportunities for the
second half of their lives. Searching
should seek out a non-profit organi-
zation for a cause shes passionate
about and offer her skilled services. If
Searching doesnt need an income,
she can volunteer.
Finally, instead of seeking a gradu-
ate degree, she could look at her local
community college and find non-
credit classes that interest her and
participate without the pressure of
credited course work.
Stephanie in Phoenix
Dear Stephanie: Your suggestions
are all good ones. Second careers are
becoming more common, and there
are many opportunities for seniors to
enjoy their encore careers. Read on
for more options:
Dear Abby: Your advice to Search-
ing was dead-on. After a 30-year
career in the insurance industry, I was
forced into early retirement by a cor-
porate buyout. At 59, I was stunned
and unprepared. After some soul
searching, I decided I wasnt done
with life. I started reading, talking to
friends and praying.
There were some false starts. I
tried out for the Peace Corps but
backed out. I got into an income tax
class that was over my head. Then I
got another insurance job and found
myself back in the rat race.
I made ends meet by substitute
teaching and began to realize that,
eons ago, I had wanted to be a teach-
er. (I had been talked out of it.) So I
started back to college for my mas-
ters degree in teaching.
Talk about scared! It had been 33
years since I had seen the inside of
a classroom. But my experience was
one of the most challenging, positive
and enriching I have ever known. I
met wonderful people along the way
and was admired for my life experi-
ence, insight and work ethic. It wasnt
all sweetness and light, but if I had to
do it over again Id do it in a minute.
Catherine in Illinois
Dear Abby: Searching might con-
sider volunteering with SCORE
Service Corps of Retired Executives.
Her skills are needed and would be
appreciated. That way she can dabble
in her old work and have a sense of
accomplishment.
Charles in Maryland
Dear Abby: When I retired at 62, I
decided to return to school for a grad-
uate philosophy degree. My body may
be weaker, but I like to think most of
my mental faculties are intact. My
first resume may generate humor, but
Ill bring something to the classroom
that may prove invaluable. Thats 40
years of experience and 63 years of
20-20 hindsight.
I will call it a good day if I can com-
municate to any student that learning
is fun and education has intrinsic
value.
Calvert in North Carolina
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Many possible opportunities await new retirees looking for encore
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Before
you can master a task, you must
learn to master yourself. It will
be much easier to do so when
you get on your own side. Be
nice. Self-correction can happen
without self-punishment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Youll
need some additional direction
in order to get motivated. Ask
the people in your organization,
family or business to share their
point of view. Youll receive rec-
ommendations and useful ideas.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
celebrate your passions, going
deeper into the things that
interest you. A knowledgeable
air sign (thats Gemini, Libra or
Aquarius) will be a rich resource.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Youll
enjoy the feeling that youre
moving fast and that lots of
things are happening simulta-
neously. Later, youll count this
among your most productive
days.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Experiencing confusion while
youre learning something new
is quite positive and necessary.
The confusion makes your brain
work at a higher level. Confusion
makes you ask better questions.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you
want to believe something but
cant seem to fully get behind
the belief, you probably need
more information. Its impossible
to change your beliefs without
learning something new.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You wont
have to come up with the pas-
sion it takes to reach a goal. You
already have that passion inside
you. All you have to do is stir it
up a bit and then unbridle it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You
wont concern yourself with any
matter or person over which you
have no influence. This certainly
makes life simpler, and it con-
serves energy, too. Your circle of
influence will soon grow.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll attain information about
your goal. Keep learning until
youre both knowledgeable and
wise. Wisdom is knowing how
and when to apply knowledge.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Eye
contact will reveal much. Look
deeply into the eyes of the one
you want to know, understand
or persuade. Bonus: The other
person will feel like the most fas-
cinating individual in the world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When
it comes to a loved one, your
commitment level is strong, and
youll constantly act in a man-
ner that proves it. Be forward-
thinking, as well, and youll avoid
falling into a relationship rut.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Youll
have something in common
with top athletes today, as youll
experience a situation in which
everything seems to ride on
one instant. Youll shine in that
instant, as graceful as ever.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 17).
More love comes into your life
over the next 10 weeks. Family
issues are happily sorted out
in June, smoothing the way for
your big plans. July brings an
experimental mood. Your playful
approach to work and life leads
to money and fun. September
introduces intriguing new envi-
ronments. Leo and Libra people
adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 5, 20, 25, 40 and 13.

LEGAL NOTICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, at the
meeting of the Dallas School District Board
of Directors, held May 14, 2012, a
Proposed Preliminary Budget for the
school year 2012-2013 was presented,
which sets forth therein expenditures in
the amount of $32,928,593, based on
11.8052 mills per thousand dollars of
assessed valuation; a per capita of $5.00
per taxable person, under the authority of
section 679 of the Pennsylvania School
Laws of 1949 and its amendments, and a
reenactment of a per capita tax of $5.00
per taxable person, under the authority of
Act 511 of December 31, 1965; a revision of
Act 481 of June 25, 1947, without substan-
tial change, making a total of per capita
taxes of $10.00 to be levied and collected
from each taxable person; in addition, an
earned income tax on wages, salaries,
and commissions and other earned
income of individuals at a rate of 1%
(shared 50/50 with the municipalities of
the district, under authority of Act 511 of
December 31, 1965) and an emergency
municipal services tax in the amount of
$52.00 for all individuals, excluding those
whose earnings from wages, salaries or
other income are not in excess of
$1,500.00 annually, engaging in an occu-
pation and whose place of employment is
within the Dallas School District. Said
taxes are necessary for general revenue
purposes to pay the salaries of the
employees as prescribed in the salary
schedules of the district and to meet the
current expenses of the Dallas School
District. The Proposed Final Budget may
be inspected by any interested person or
persons at the office of the Secretary of
the Board, Administration Office, Conyng-
ham Avenue, Dallas, PA. It is the intent of
the Board to adopt the Final Budget at the
School Board Meeting to be held June 11,
2012.
NOTICE IS ALSO GIVEN of the provisions of
Act 193, approved June 30, 1951 (P.L.
962), as indicated according to Section
680 (b) of the school code, requiring that
every resident or inhabitant of the School
District, upon attaining the age of eighteen
(18) years of age, or becoming a resident
or inhabitant of the District, shall within
twelve (12) months after the happening
thereof, notify the Luzerne County
Assessors Office, Director of the Board of
Assessors, of his becoming a resident or
inhabitant. Any person failing within said
period to notify said assessor or his suc-
cessor, of said School District, shall, in
addition to the tax levied by such School
District, be liable to said School District in
a penal sum equal to such tax.
