WASHINGTON Mitt Rom-
ney clinched the Republican
presidential nomination Tuesday
witha wininthe Texas primary, a
triumph of endurance for a candi-
date who came up short four
years ago and had to fight hard
this year as voters flirted with a
carousel of GOP rivals.
According to the Associated
Press count, Romney surpassed
the 1,144 dele-
gates needed to
win the nomi-
nation by win-
ning at least 88
delegates in the
Texas primary.
The former
Massachusetts
governor has reached the nomi-
nation milestone with a steady
message of concern about the
U.S. economy, a campaign orga-
nizationthat dwarfedthose of his
GOP foes and a fundraising oper-
ation second only to that of his
Democratic opponent in the gen-
eral election, President Barack
Obama.
I am honored that Americans
across the country have given
their support to my candidacy
and I am humbled to have won
enough delegates to become the
Republican Partys 2012 presi-
dential nominee, Romney said
in a statement.
Our party has come together
with the goal of putting the fail-
ures of the last three and a half
years behindus, Romney said. I
have no illusions about the diffi-
culties of the task before us. But
whatever challenges lie ahead,
we will settle for nothing less
than getting America back on the
path to full employment and
prosperity.
Romney must now fire up con-
servatives who still doubt him
while persuading swing voters
that he can do a better job fixing
the nations struggling economy
than Obama. In Obama, he faces
a well-funded candidate with a
proven campaign teamin an elec-
tion that will be heavily influen-
ced by the economy.
Its these economic indicators
that will more or less trump any
good or bad that Romney poten-
tially got out of primary season,
said Josh Putnam, an assistant
political science professor at Da-
vidson College who writes the
political blog Frontloading HQ.

Foreclosure activity in the Wilkes-
Barre/Scranton region surpassed state
and national averages in March, according
to a California real-estate tracking firm.
The same report shows the percentage of
mortgage loans that were 90 or more days
delinquent increasing 0.52 percentage
points over a year.
The information, supplied by CoreLog-
ic, a Los Angeles-area real estate data pro-
vider, shows 3.47 percent of all mortgaged
properties in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre/
Hazletonmetro area were inforeclosure in
March. The state average was 2.73 per-
cent, CoreLogics report showed, and the
national average was 3.41 percent.
The local foreclosure
rate has been at or
above 3 percent each
month since December
2010, but always below
the national rate. It
dipped as low as 3.08
percent inJune 2011be-
fore rising once more.
The rate measures the
percentage of loans in
some stage of the fore-
closure process. A fore-
closure is defined by
the legal process by
which an owners right
to a property is termi-
nated, usually due to
default.
Jerry T. McGuire, an associate broker
with Hazleton-based Jerry McGuire Real-
tor, said never has he seen more foreclo-
sure properties among his companys list-
ings.
The increase is the latest evidence of a
slowrecovery taking shape in the troubled
housing market that saw its bubble burst
in 2006 and helped to begin on the worst
recession since the Great Depression.
McGuire said this region always lags na-
tional trends, so while there has been
some positive news on a nationwide level,
it might not trickle down to Northeastern
Pennsylvania until months later.
But its been clear since 2009 that the
market is correcting itself, and that means
owners of mortgaged homes, many of
them owing more than their value, are
making decisions based on the economy,
unemployment, medical bills and other
factors. Many are tryingtoworkwithlend-
ers torenegotiate terms of the mortgage to
bring them more in line with what the
homes are worthintodays market. Others

The man who investigators
for years believed was respon-
sible for the 1979 disappear-
ance of Etan Patz the 6-year-
old New York City boy who
was the first missing child vic-
tim to be featured on a milk
carton is incarcerated at the
State Cor-
rectional In-
stitution at
Dallas.
According
to The Asso-
ciated Press,
for most of
the past dec-
ade the Patz investigation fo-
cused on Jose Antonio Ramos,
aconvictedchildmolesternow
heldinthe state prisoninJack-
son Township.
He had been dating Etans
babysitter when the boy disap-
peared 33 years ago.
Robin Lucas, spokeswoman
at SCI Dallas, said Tuesday
that Ramos, now 68, was sen-
tencedinMarch1987to13to
27 years after being convicted
in Erie County of deviate sex-
ual intercourse. She said Ra-
mos is scheduled to be re-
leased Nov. 7.
According to CBS News, a
Manhattan judge ruled eight
years agoinacivil casethat Ra-
mos was responsible for Patzs
death, but Ramos was never
charged with murder. That
case resulted in a $2 million
judgment against Ramos in
damages to be paid to the Patz
family.
Last week, a New Jersey
man, Pedro Hernandez, 51, of
Maple Shade, was charged
with killing Patz, who van-
ished on his way to school in
his lower Manhattanneighbor-
hood. Hernandez confessed to
choking the boy to death in
1979.
His arrest was the first in a

A groundbreaking servicewoman
from Nanticoke had an audience with
the president this Memorial Day.
Ensign Abigail Gesecki Holt, a 2006
graduate of Greater Nanticoke Area
High School, is one of the first 24 women
named to serve on a nuclear submarine
crew. Gesecki Holt and the other female
submariners met with President Barrack
Obama and wife Michelle in the Blue
Room of the White House, where it was
announced the first lady will sponsor the
Navys newest submarine, the USS Illi-
nois.
Gesecki Holt also attended a breakfast
with the president, first lady, Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta and Navy Secre-
tary Ray Mabus, and was present when
President Obama laid a wreath at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during
Memorial Day ceremonies.
It was a banner day for Gesecki Holt,
but her father, Henry Gesecki of Nanti-
coke, said it was only one of many. After
her graduationfromthe U.S. Naval Acad-
emy in 2010, Gesecki Holt became one of
the first women accepted into the Navys
nuclear submarine program.

POLICE BLOTTER
WILKES-BARRE Downtown resi-
dents feel that theyve been given a run-
around by city officials in their efforts to
have a designatedpermit parking area cre-
ated in a two-and-a-half block radius near
Wilkes University.
The Downtown Residents Association
had an emergency meeting Tuesday at the
South Franklin Street residence of mem-
ber David Lepore to bring members up to
speed on what transpired since they first
discussed the issue in September and to
form a plan of action for what to do next.
Residents want the city to designate the
area bordered by Ross, River, South and
Barnum streets for permit parking, which
residents would be glad to pay for. They
say its unfair that they should have to con-
stantly feed meters to park near their
homes and compete with college students
when residents in other parts of the city
near hospitals pay as little as $10 to $15 a
year to park near their homes.
Leporesaidheandother residents inhis
building, which contains three apart-
ments, accumulated more than $800 in
parking tickets over the past year because
they either didnt make it outside to feed a
meter before 8 a.m. or were away for the
day and left a vehicle parked on the street.
Pat Parks, association coordinator, said
Mayor Tom Leighton met with them in
September on the issue and advised them
to fill out forms for permit parking in their
neighborhood. However, when they sub-
mitted the forms early this year, they were
told their neighborhood wasnt zoned for
permit parking. When they tried to ad-
dress council in March, Leighton told
themhe was working on the issue and the
council meetingwas not the proper venue.
Parks said she received an email from
Leighton on Tuesday saying he met with
council members to get their input onpos-
sible options and was working on a pro-
posal for consideration by the association
and council in the near future.
But association members fear Leighton
is puttingthemoff until after qualifiedbid-
ders for leasing the citys parking garages
andmeters are identifiedonJune 5sothey
are not grandfathered in with an ability to
buy permits rather than feed parking me-
ters if and before a lease agreement is
awarded. City officials are considering
leasing public parking garages and meters
to a management company for a one-time
minimum $20 million payment.
Association member Anita Frank said
they were told the administration was
handling the issue at the March council
meeting, yet Leighton and city coordina-
tor Drew McLaughlin are telling them
council must address the issue.
Weve been bounced around, said
parking committee member Lillian Co-
hen, who addedthat researchshows many
other cities offer reasonably priced permit
parking for downtown residents, while
they were asked if they would consider
paying about $200 or more a year.
McLaughlin said there has been no in-
tentional delay in working up a proposal.
It takes time to research and prepare a
proper solution, he said.
McLaughlin said the facts that the
neighborhoodis zonedfor mixedcommer-
cial/residential and that residents there
do not qualify for permit parking under an
existing ordinance complicates matters.
The residents believe an ordinance fair
to them and college students who live in
the neighborhood, allowing anyone with a
vehicle registered at a neighborhood ad-
dress to buy a permit, could be written.

NUANGOLA The sewer au-
thority on Tuesday night re-
tained attorney Patrick Healy as
bond counsel for its proposed fi-
nancing package with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
AproposedUSDAloanof more
than $6 million is a major ele-
ment in the authoritys planned
sanitary system project, which is
tentatively scheduled to com-
mence this summer.
The authority, at the urging of
David Pekar, chairman, voted 5-0
to retain Healy of the firm of Co-
hen and Grigsby, at a fee of
$24,000. Pekar said Healy was se-
lected because of his experience
with other USDA closings. His
fee, according to solicitor Bob
Gonos, is regarded by USDA offi-
cial Mike Angerson as reasona-
ble.
Authority member Ray Shirk
was also given approval to com-
municate again with owners of
undeveloped property about hav-
ing a lateral installed that can be
utilized in the future. Shirk said
that in a survey he conducted he
found these people expressed a
willingness to pay between $200
and $1,000 toward a fee that will
be incurred to have these proper-
ties included in the final engi-
neering plan being devised by
Quad3 Engineers of Wilkes-
Barre.
Prospectively, that amount,
Shirk said, is a total of $8,000.
These property owners have to
agree to a proportionate charge
in order to cover this cost. As it
stands, Shirksaidhe has received
48 responses out of more than
100 letters he mailedto owners of
undeveloped property previous-
ly. The intent of Shirks impend-
ing mailing will be a final offer.
Pekar said bids on a procure-
ment contract for the purchase of
grinder pumps for the systemare
scheduledto be openedat a Mon-
day, June 11 meeting.
When the issue was raised by
Shirk, Pekar said there is no plan
to permit grinder pumps to be
contained in existing septic or
holdingtanks. The pumps will in-
stead be part of the main system
beneath the street.
Pekar reminded Nuangola resi-
dents that loan/grant packages
through the USDA remain an op-
tion for individuals of very low
and low income. This money is
intended to finance the installa-
tion of piping froma house to the
main system.
Pekar said that USDA funding
is limited and individuals needi-
ng assistance shouldnt delay in
making a filing.
He saidassociatedinformation
and an application can be ob-
tained through him.

Holiday statistics noted
Thirteen people were killed and 311
others were injured in 817 crashes
investigated by the state police during
the four-day Memorial Day holiday
weekend driving period. This total
does not include crashes investigated
by local police.
Nine of those
killed over the week-
end were not wear-
ing seat belts, said
state police Commis-
sioner Frank Noo-
nan. The tragic
message from these
statistics is very clear: Everyone needs
to buckle up for every trip on the road.
Not only is it the law, seat belts
really do save lives.
Through the weekend, troopers
cited 1,129 people for not wearing seat
belts and issued citations to 113 for not
securing children in safety seats.
Troopers also issued 9,202 speeding
citations and arrested 404 operators
on driving under the influence. Of the
817 crashes investigated by state po-
lice, 66, including three of the fatal
crashes, were alcohol-related.
During last years four-day Memo-
rial Day holiday driving period, 13
people died and 294 others were in-
jured in 808 crashes to which state
troopers responded.

Luzerne County Councilman
Edward Brominski said he has
identifiedseveral property own-
ers wrongly forced to pay the
Wyoming Valley levee fee.
Brominski said during Tues-
days council work session
these properties should be ex-
cluded because he is certain
theydidnot floodin1972. Here-
iterated his call to do away with
the fee.
I believe that what was done
was extremely haphazard, Bro-
minski said, referring to the de-
termination of properties with-
inthefeeboundary. This has to
belookedat ina serious, serious
manner.
The fee, imposed on 14,200
properties in low-lying, levee-
protected areas, ranges from
$46.85 to $93.70 for residential
properties and $93.70 to
$676.44 for commercial, indus-
trial and tax-exempt properties.
Brominski also complained
about county Flood Protection
Authority Executive Director
Jim Brozenas absence from the
work session.
Brozena previously attended
a council meeting to explain au-
thority operations, but Council-
man Stephen A. Urban said he
told Brozena he would speak on
the authoritys behalf this time.
Urban chairs the authority
board, which oversees the fee.
Urban said fee payment is
based on a map generated by
people who walked the region
to pinpoint flooded areas in
1972. He said the authority re-
moves properties based on pho-
tographs or other information
supplied by property owners.
The computerized mapping de-
partment alsoidentifiedproper-
ties that should be eliminated.
CountyManager Robert Law-
ton said he recommended a
clear, writtenexplanationof evi-
dence necessary for property
owners who want to contest
their inclusion in the fee.
Council Chairman Jim Bo-
beck said the legality of the fee
will be determined by pending
litigation filed by Kingston and
several borough residents.
The fee generates about $1.29
million annually to fund flood
control-related expenses.
In other business, Larksville
resident Renee Taffera and
home rule charter drafter Ve-
ronica Ciaruffoli complained
that people must sign ethics
code complaints before a notary
public. They said the additional
burden and expense are unwar-
ranted and could discourage
complaints.
Bobeck said several council
members disagree with the no-
tary requirement, but council
left the format of the complaint
formup to the independent eth-
ics commission.
Lawton also told council he is
researching IRS regulations to
determine if additional income
should be reported for detec-
tives and other employees who
take home county-owned vehi-
cles.
Controller Walter Griffith
and Urban have been raising
that issue for several years.
CouncilmanRickWilliams al-
so expressed dissatisfaction
over state law prohibiting the
public from attending an up-
coming binding arbitration
hearing about a new detective
union contract.

WILKES-BARRE A Hazleton man
convicted of first-degree murder in the
January 2011 stabbing of another man
was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison,
and an additional 20 to 40 years behind
bars.
Rodolfo Hiraldo Perez, 25, was con-
victed of first-degree murder and crimi-
nal conspiracy to commit criminal hom-
icide by a Luzerne County jury inMarch.
Prosecutors say Perez and Angel San-
chez, 21, killed Vladimir Ruiz, 21, in a
fight outside a Hazle-
ton tavern.
Sanchez also was
scheduled to be sen-
tenced Tuesday, but his
attorney, Demetrius
Fannick, asked for an-
other date because he
needed time to prepare
and to get witnesses
who wanted to testify.
Judge David Lupas
said Sanchez, who
faces 20 to 40 years in
prison, nowwill be sen-
tenced on June 14.
My son had no
weapons, Miguel Ruiz
told Perez before he
was sentenced. Mywishes aretheworst
for you.
Several of Ruizs family members
spoke incourt, includinghis mother, sib-
lings and several cousins, all of whom
echoed the same warning for Perez.
You took my son away and you didnt
even know him, Ruizs mother, Guiller-
mina, said. You will rot in jail for the
crime you committed.
Perez did not speak before being sen-
tenced.
At the time of his March trial, Perez
testified he was intoxicated and didnt
know what he was doing when he
stabbed Ruiz in the heart.
Perez, an alleged member of the Trin-
itarios gang, testified he had been drink-
ing and doing drugs the night of the
homicide, and he went to the fight be-
tween Sanchez, also an alleged Trinita-
rios member, and Ruiz where he was
asked to watch Sanchezs back.
Perez, a native of the Dominican Re-
public, saidgunshots scaredhim, he was
under the influence of drugs and alcohol
and he didnt know what to do.
Then, I stabbed him once ... but I
didnt knowwhere, Perez said of the as-
sault on Ruiz. He said he was too intox-
icated to remember where he got the
knife or to knowwhere he stabbed Ruiz.
I didnt know it was that bad. I didnt
know what I had done.
A third man, Willis Gonzalez, is
charged in the shooting death of Juda
Hope in the same fight, and has yet not
been located to face charges. Investiga-
tors say they know Gonzalez boarded a
plane to the Dominican Republic some-
time after the homicide.

weeks after 14-year-old Tyler
Winsteaddiedfromagunshot
wound near his Hill Street
house, Luzerne County Dis-
trict Attorney Stefanie Sala-
vantis said she may reveal
new information about the
probe this week.
Tyler, of 119 Hill St., died
April 5 after being found shot
in front of 117 Hill St., where
his friend Elijah Yusiff lived.
Since then, Yusiff and his
familymovedout of thehouse
and relocated to Coolbaugh
Township, Monroe County,
and public and city leaders
have responded by forming a
grassroots campaign to study
howtomakethecommunitya
safer place to live.
Salavantis declined to say
what developments in the
case could
be expect-
ed.

No charges have been filed
in the case.
Yusiff told reporters the
night Winstead was shot that
he heard a gunshot and sawa
man driving away in a red or
burgundy, older model Ford
Taurus. Immediatelyafter the
shooting, LuzerneCounty911
broadcast a bulletin to be on
the lookout for the vehicle.
The search for the vehicle
has since withered without
any explanation from investi-
gators or Salavantis.
Investigators obtained six
known search warrants that
wereall sealed. Onewastoob-
tain records to a cellphone

Twoother warrants permit-
tedinvestigators tosearchthe
inside of 117 Hill St., on April
10 and April 13, at which time
they removed bleach, a com-
puter tower and what ap-
peared to be blood spatter.
Blood spatter that was al-
legedly collected inside the
housewassent tothestatepo-
lice crime lab in Wyoming for
forensic testing to determine
the bloods source, according
to a lawenforcement source.
Less than two weeks after
investigators searched 117
Hill St. on April 13, people re-
movedfurnitureandother be-
longings from the two-story
residence on April 25. Three
men, a woman and two chil-
dren took about 1hour and15
minutes to load a small mov-

away.
Tyler, ahighhonorsstudent
at Wilkes-Barre Areas GAR
High School, was said to be
walking home from the Ca-
tholic Youth Center on South

on April 5. When Tyler was
found, his shoes were found
loose on the sidewalk.
A grassroots community
initiative called Building

WILKES-BARRE The
Peanut Pals are coming home.
The organization, founded
in 1978 by Judith Walthall af-
ter she and her family began
collecting Mr. Peanut items,
will hold its annual national
conventionfor the first time in
Wilkes-Barre where Planters
Peanuts was founded begin-
ning July 8.
The hosts, John and Ja-
neann Lokken of Mountain
Top, are preparing for the
event that will run through Ju-
ly 12 at Genetti Hotel & Con-
vention Center.
The Lokkens said Tuesday
they expect 125 to 150 Peanut
Pals for the convention. They
said Mr. Peanut, the iconic lo-
go/spokesperson of Planters
Peanuts, will be in town. In
fact, the old Mr. Peanut and
the new version may get to
meet each other.
Members of the organiza-
tion will attend a picnic at the
Lokkens home and will visit
the Planters Peanuts exhibit
at the Luzerne County Histor-
ical Society.
Planters Peanuts was found-
ed in 1906 in Wilkes-Barre by
Amedeo Obici. In 1916, Obici,
who conceived the idea for
Mr. Peanut, held a contest for
people to submit their ideas
on what the logo should look
like. Antonio Gentile, 14, won
the contest. In the 1940s, Ge-
orge LaBar, a Wilkes-Barre
graphic artist, added the
monocle, top hat, cane, white
gloves and fancy black shoes
to complete the image that is
now known around the world
as Mr. Peanut.
Lokken said the Planters
Peanutmobile may pull into
Wilkes-Barre during the 2012
convention.
Obici kept Planters corpo-
rate headquarters in Wilkes-
Barre from1925 to 1961.
In September 2007, a Penn-
sylvania Historical and Mu-
seum Commission marker
was placed at the site of the
former company headquar-
ters at 632 S. Main St. Only
the shell of the building that
once housed some offices for
Planters remains.
The Luzerne County His-
torical Societys exhibit The
Wonderful Story of Planters
Peanuts will run through
Oct. 27. The exhibit tells the
story of Italian immigrants
Obici and Mario Peruzzi from
the beginning to the growth
and development of the com-
pany and its products up to to-
day.
The exhibit features a re-
creation of the Planters Pea-
nut Store that once stood at 15
E. Market St., photographs,
documents and artifacts from
several personal collections
on loan from family members
and collectors.

WILKES-BARRE City po-
lice following a vehicle weav-
ing in traffic saw the rear door
open and two children in the
back seat while the car was in
motion Monday night on
Wilkes-Barre Boulevard.
Police arrested the driver,
Daniel Rodriguez, 37, on evi-
dence of drunken driving and
filed charges of child endan-
germent against him and a
passenger, Audam R. Fogle,
30.
Rodriguez and Fogle were
Barre Central Court and re-
leased on $5,000 and $2,500
unsecured bail, respectively.
According to the criminal
complaints:
Police spotted a slow-mov-
ing vehicle crossing into on-
coming traffic on Wilkes-Barre
Boulevard at about 11:30 p.m.
While the car was in motion,
the pursuing officer saw the
drivers side rear door open
and something hanging out-
side the vehicle.
The rear door stayed open
until Rodriguez stopped near
Coal Street.
An officer approached the
vehicle and pushed the chil-
dren, a 3-year-old girl and a 7-
month-old girl, back inside.
Rodriguez told the officer
his license was suspended and
the only reason why he was
driving was because the pas-
senger, Fogle, was drunk, the
criminal complaints say.
Police said in the complaint
that Rodriguez had a strong
odor of alcohol, bloodshot
eyes and slurred speech. He
was taken to Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital for a blood
test, police said.
Fogle allegedly surrendered
synthetic marijuana to police.
Police allege Fogle had an al-
cohol level of .233 percent de-
termined by a breath test.
Court records say Rodri-
guez had a drunken driving
conviction in Wilkes-Barre in
2009.
Rodriguez, of Andover
Street, Wilkes-Barre, was
charged with two counts of
driving under the influence,
and one count each of endan-
gering the welfare of children,
driving with a suspended li-
cense and two vehicle offens-
es. Fogle, of Custer Street,
Wilkes-Barre, was charged
with endangering the welfare
of children, possession of a de-
signer drug and two summary
offenses of permitting unli-
censed person to drive a vehi-
cle.
Preliminary hearings are
scheduled on June 7 in Central
Court.

WILKES-BARRE A West
Hazleton man convicted earlier
this month of first-degree mur-
der and sentenced to life in
prison has appealed his case to
the state Superior Court.
Benjamin Tyrell Westbrooks,
22, filed the appeal through his
attorneys, John Pike and Ally-
son Kacmarski. Westbrooks was
convicted in the November 2010
shooting death of Alicia Weaver,
20, of Hazleton.
Pike and Kacmarski also
asked to be permitted to with-
draw from Westbrooks case
Monday, stating he could not
pay for their services. County
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley
granted the attorneys request,
and appointed attorney Paul
Galante to Westbrooks case.
WILKES-BARRE A county
judge on Tuesday denied a re-
quest by attorneys for the Dallas
School District and Pittston
Area School District to be
awarded attorneys fees in a case
in which the schools will be
paid more than $5 million in a
lawsuit.
Judge William Amesbury said
no attorneys fees will be paid,
but the Northeastern Pennsylva-
nia School Districts Health
Trust must pay $547,788 or
other appropriate security into
a constructive trust.
Last year, Judge Lewis Wetzel
ruled the health trust should
pay $2.8 million to the Dallas
School District and $2.3 million
to the Pittston Area School
District.
The districts argued they
were entitled to millions they
had paid in premiums that had
helped the trust build up a large
cash reserve. Attorneys for the
health trust argue the agree-
ment signed by all members
upon joining required money
paid into the trust stay there
unless the consortium is dis-
solved.
The health trust is appealing
the judges ruling to the states
Commonwealth Court.
WILKES-BARRE A city
man charged with robbing a nail
salon and possessing a gun in a
separate case was sentenced
Monday to five to 10 years in
state prison.
Donnell Jones Jr., 30, of Hazle
Avenue, was sentenced on
charges of robbery, theft by
unlawful taking, possession of a
firearm and a person not to
possess a firearm by county
Judge Tina Polachek Gartley.
Jones pleaded guilty to the
charges in March.
According to court papers, on
Dec. 27, police said Jones en-
tered Queen Nails in Wilkes-
Barre, showed a pistol, and
demanded cellphones and mon-
ey.
In another incident in May
2011, police say Jones was in
possession of a gun that he was
not supposed to have because
he had been previously convict-
ed of a felony.
WILKES-BARRE A Long
Pond man pleaded guilty Mon-
day to a charge of sexual assault
relating to a case involving a
then-7-year-old girl.
Clark Kitchell, 29, entered the
plea before county Judge Tina
Polachek Gartley. Kitchell will
be sentenced on Aug. 20 and
will be evaluated by the state
Sexual Offenders Assessment
Board. Kitchell will be required
to register his address under
Megans Law for his entire life.
According to court papers, in
March 2011, a 7-year-old girl
told police Kitchell sexually
assaulted her on several differ-
ent occasions.
WILKES-BARRE A Hun-
lock Township man who police
say rented the trailer where a
deadly shooting took place and
where methamphetamine was
allegedly manufactured was
sentenced Monday to six to 23
months in county prison.
David Kalbach, 39, of Old
Tavern Road, was sentenced on
a charge of criminal conspiracy
of possession with intent to
deliver methamphetamine by
county Judge Fred Pierantoni.
Kalbach pleaded guilty to the
charge in February.
According to court papers,
Robert Jacob Muntz, 43, of
Sweet Valley Road, Hunlock
Township, was found dead from
a single gunshot wound to the
head inside the trailer on Feb. 8,
2010.
Muntz concealed his face with
a Halloween mask when he
forced open the front door and
confronted a sleeping Jeffrey
Laton, 40, in the bedroom. La-
tons girlfriend, Amanda Bow-
man, 29, grabbed a loaded .40-
caliber handgun and fired two
shots that hit Muntz, state po-
lice said. Trooper Tom Kelly
said the investigation into the
deadly shooting resulted in the
discovery of products used to
manufacture meth inside the
trailer. The trailer was rented by
Kalbach, who allegedly told
investigators that others were
making and selling meth out of
his house.
WILKES-BARRE A man

ing aluminum press plates from
The Times Leader waived his
right to a preliminary hearing in
Wilkes-Barre Central Court on
Tuesday.
Eric Redick, 48, of Sheridan
Street, Wilkes-Barre, waived
charges of theft and receiving
stolen property to Luzerne
County Court. He was repre-
sented by attorney Frank Noci-
to.
Police allege Redick stole
nearly $19,000 worth of press
plates from the newspaper while
he was employed by an inde-
pendent cleaning company,
according to the criminal com-
plaint.
Redick allegedly told police
he stole the plates over several
months and sold them at scrap
yards.

City police had accused Shaw
after Robin Roberts claimed he
entered her Carey Avenue resi-
dence and stole her purse on
May 7.
The charges were dismissed
when attorney Charles Ross
advised District Judge Rick
Cronauer that Roberts and the
arresting officer failed to appear

SAN FELICE SUL PANARO, ITALY
Big quake hits north Italy
W
orkers at the small machinery
company had just returned for
their first shift following Italys power-
ful and deadly quake earlier this month
when another one struck Tuesday
morning, collapsing the roof.
At least three employees at the facto-
ry two immigrants and an Italian
engineer checking the buildings stabil-
ity were among those killed in the
second deadly quake in nine days to
strike a region of Italy that hadnt con-
sidered itself particularly quake prone.
By late Tuesday, the death toll stood
at 17, with several people still missing,
including a worker at the machinery
factory in the small town of San Felice
Sul Panoro. About 200 people also
were injured in the 5.8 magnitude
quake north of Bologna in Emilia Ro-
magna, one of Italys more productive
regions, agriculturally and industrially.
Factories, barns and churches fell,
dealing a second blow to a region
where thousands remained homeless
from the May 20 temblor, much stron-
ger in intensity, at 6.0 magnitude.
ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN
Al-Qaida leader is killed
U.S.-led coalition troops battling
Afghan Taliban insurgents have killed
al-Qaidas second-in-command in Af-
ghanistan in an air strike in the coun-
trys eastern province of Kunar, the
coalition said Tuesday.
Sakhr al-Taifi, a Saudi national, com-
manded foreign insurgent fighters and
frequently moved between Afghanistan
and Pakistan, often overseeing the
transport of militants into Afghanistan,
NATO said in a prepared statement.
The air strike occurred Sunday in the
Watahpur district of Kunar, a volatile
Afghan province along the Pakistani
border.
LONDON
Iranian computers attacked
A massive data-slurping cyberwea-
pon is circulating in the Middle East, a
Russian Internet security firm reported
Monday, saying that computers in Iran
appear to have been particularly affect-
ed.
The virus, dubbed Flame, is un-
precedented both in terms of its size
and complexity, Moscow-based Kasper-
sky Lab ZAO reported, saying it pos-
sesses the ability to turn infected com-
puters into listening devices and even
suck information out from nearby cell
phones.
Kasperskys conclusion that it was
crafted at the behest of a national gov-
ernment fueled speculation that the
virus could be part of an Israeli-backed
campaign of electronic sabotage aimed
at archrival Iran.

HARRISBURG Faith-based and
community aid organizations from
across Pennsylvania have swung into
action to urge the Republican-con-
trolled Legislature not to end a Depres-
sion-era program that provides about
$200 a month for tens of thousands of
disabled adults who cant work.
The coalition of more than 100
groups, including the AARP, the United
Way and Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran
and Jewish groups, released the letter
advocating for the General Assistance
cash benefit last week, as negotiations
pick up on a state budget for the fiscal
year beginning July 1.
Our primary interest and concern is
hunger, but hunger is just a symptomof
other needs and challenges for people
and so we see the elimination of Gener-
al Assistance as majorly impacting peo-
ples ability to access shelter, food,
Amy Reumann, director of the Luthe-
ran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania,
said Tuesday. Its a small amount of
money thats going to have a devastat-
ingeffect for people whoare onthe mar-
gins and dont have other resources.
In the letter, the groups say helping
people who need money to pay for shel-
ter, addiction recovery program fees
and other basic needs until they get
back on their feet saves society money
by helping keep people out of hospitals,
jails and homeless shelters.
The benefit is a hand-up, not a hand-
out, the groups said.
We urge you to ensure that our state
budget reflects our values by restoring
General Assistance in its entirety or, at
minimum, to restore key components,
the groups said. General Assistance
protects those most in need and saves
taxpayers money.
People who are eligible include dis-
abled or sick adults who dont have mi-
nor children, domestic violence survi-
vors, adults participatinginintensiveal-
cohol or drug treatment programs, chil-
dren living with an unrelated adult and
adults caringfor someone whois sickor
disabled, or for an unrelated child.
Currently, the House of Representa-
tives is studying a budget plan sent to it
earlier this month by the Senate.
Gov. Tom Corbett, a Republican who
ran on a no-new-taxes pledge, proposed
ending the $150 million General Assist-
ance cash benefit in a $27.1 billion bud-
get plan he released in February. His
spending plan called for a series of cut-
backs he blamed largely on the rising
cost of pensions and health care for the
poor.
Then senators voted 39-8 May 9 for
an alternative, $27.7 billion budget that
also would eliminate the cash benefit
while adding hundreds of millions of
dollars tothesubsidies that Corbett pro-
posed for universities, public schools,
county-run social services, the race
horse industry, medical research, retail-
ers that collect sales taxes and hospitals
and nursing homes that care for the
poor.
Senators also plugged in $12 million
to erase cuts in the Legislatures ac-
counts that Corbett proposed.

brokered six weeks ago has failed
to stop any of the violence on the
ground.
Survivors of the Houla mas-
sacre blamed pro-regime gun-
men for at least some of the car-
nage as the killings reverberated
inside Syria and beyond, further
isolating Assad and embarrass-
ing his few remaining allies.
Its very hard for me to de-
scribe what I saw, the images
were incredibly disturbing, a
Houla resident who hid in his
home during the massacre told
The Associated Press on Tues-
day. Women, children without
heads, their brains or stomachs
spilling out.
Assads government often de-
ploys fearsome militias that pro-
vide muscle for the regime and
carry out military-style attacks.
They frequently work closely
with soldiers and security forces,
but the regime never acknowl-
edges their existence, allowing it
todenyresponsibilityfor their ac-
tions.
U.N. peacekeeping chief Herve
Ladsous said there are strong
suspicions that pro-Assad fight-
ers were responsible for some of
the killings, adding that he has
seen no reason to believe that
third elements or outside
forces wereinvolved, although
he did not rule it out.
The Syrian regime has denied
any role inthe massacre, blaming
the killings on armed terrorists
who attacked army positions in
the area and slaughtered inno-
cent civilians. It has provided no
evidence to support its narrative,
nor has it given a death toll.
After his meeting with Assad,
Annan called on the government
and all government-backed mili-
tias to stop military operations
and show maximum restraint.
He also called on the armed op-
position to stop all violence.

WASHINGTONFolksing-
er Bob Dylan and former Sec-
retary of State Madeleine Al-
bright were awarded the Pres-
idential Medal of Freedomat a
ceremony at the White House
on Tuesday afternoon.
A number of figures from
the struggles and shifts of the
1960s were recognized Tues-
day. Civil rights campaigner
Dolores Huerta and astronaut
John Glenn also received the
medal.
The year 1962 looms espe-
cially large in President Ba-
rack Obamas picks: that was
the year Dylanput out his first
album, when Huerta co-
founded the National Farm
Workers Association and
when Glenn became the first
American to orbit the Earth.
The medal is the countrys
highest civilian honor and the
president has wide latitude in
picking recipients. It is award-
ed to people who have made
major contributions to the se-
curity of the United States,
world peace, culture or who
haveundertakenother signif-
icant public or private endeav-
ors.
Huerta co-founded the Na-
tional Farm Workers Associ-
ation, which later became the
United Farm Workers, with
Cesar Chavez. Throughout
the 1960s and 70s, Huerta
worked to extend social pro-
grams to farmworkers in Cali-
fornia. President Bill Clinton
awarded Chavez the medal in
1994, shortly after his death.
Former Department of Jus-
tice civil rights lawyer John
Doar, epidemiologist William
Foege, novelist Toni Morri-
son, former Supreme Court
Justice John Paul Stevens and
college basketball coach Pat
Summitt also received the
award.
Gordon Hirabayashi, who
fought against the internment
of Japanese-Americans dur-
ing World War II; Jan Karski,
an officer in the Polish Under-
ground in the war; and Ju-
liette Gordon Low, who
founded the Girl Scouts, were
honored posthumously.
Israeli President Shimon
Peres will also receive the
award, but will attend a sepa-
rate ceremony some time lat-
er this year.

MARKS, Miss. With her hair in a
ponytail and her smile quick and wide,
its hard to tell that high school junior
Donyell Hollins has been pulling all-
nighters for most of the semester to take
care of her infant daughter.
Her situationisnt unusual inthesmall
Delta town of Marks, home to one of the
highest teen pregnancy rates in the state
that leads the nation in the statistic. But
unlike teenmothers inprevious decades,
18-year-old Hollins is benefiting from a
change in attitude thats paving the way
for frank discussions about parenting
skills, career goals and contraception.
Instructors from the Delta Health
Partners Healthy Start Initiative come to
Hollins high school monthly to teach
lessons that incorporate some of the
newest theories on the relationship be-
tween poverty and teen motherhood. Its
a far cry from decades past, when wom-
en in Hollins situation were given little
guidance and often left to drop out and
languish.
Part of the goal is tochange patterns of
communication about sex that have per-
sisted for years.
Imgoing to talk to her more about it,
informher, Hollins said of her 5-month-
old daughter. Cause I didnt have that
talk with my mom. I had to learn on my
own.
The Delta Initiative, run through Tou-
galoo College since 1999, is a forerunner
in the states changing attitude toward
teen pregnancy. Next year, a new state
lawwill require schools to teachsex edu-
cation, and theyll have more leeway in
howmuchinformationtheycanincorpo-
rate about birth control. Schools previ-
ously had to get special permission to
teach anything but abstinence. Delta
Health Partners classes are run inde-
pendently of the school districts curri-
culum, though they use classrooms at
welcoming schools to make it conve-
nient for the girls to attend.
Republican Gov. Phil Bryant has also
created a task force to discuss ways to re-
duce teen pregnancy considered an
important acknowledgement of the
problemin a state where elected leaders
were once loathe to discuss it.
Mississippis teen birth rate declined
modestly over the past decade as rates
around the country fell. But Mississippi
still has 55 births per 1,00015- to19-year-
old girls, compared to a national average
of 34.3, according to the most recent fig-
ures from the federal governments Na-
tional Center for Health Statistics.
Experts say there was a culture of si-
lence around the issue for decades in
Mississippi, allowing the problem to
build. Teen mothers were expected to
drop out of school, or even leave town.

WILKES-BARRE -- Baby Nad-
der and Viking Trainer will be
taking a break from rehearsal at
Dreamworks HowtoTrainYour
Dragon Spectacular in Wilkes-
Barre Township to put on a more
intimate show tonight at 6:30 at
the Osterhout Free Library.
The event at 71 S. Franklin St.
will be a sneak previewof a much
larger performance to come at
the Mohegan Sun Arena next
month.
The name Baby Nadder
sounds innocent enough, but this
replica baby dragon stands more
than 7 feet tall with a 14-foot tail
and is known for breathing
clouds of smoke. With Nadders
wingspan reaching up to 46 feet
and weighing more than 2 tons,
the approximate weight of many
cars, this is a creature that canon-
ly be tamed by the burly Viking
Trainer.
This live performance derives
from DreamWorks Animation,
producers of the Academy
Award-nominated film, How to
Train Your Dragon, which
grossed more than $500 million
worldwide.
Based on the book by Cressida
Cowell, it centers on Hiccup, a
Vikingteenager whodoesnt fit in
with his tribes longstanding tra-
dition of heroic dragon slayers.
Hiccups world is turned upside
downwhenhe encounters Tooth-
less, a dragon that challenges
him and his fellow Vikings to see
the world from an entirely differ-
ent point of view.
Baby Nadder is just one of the
many electronically animated
dragons. The full performance of
DreamWorks How to Train
Your Dragon boasts 23 larger
than life, fire-breathing, flying
dragons, projections and a live
cast to keep the dragons from
running rapid.
These actors are trained in
acrobatics, stunts and hip-hop
dancing and interact with the
mythical mechanical beasts in
front of a backdrop the size of
nine movie screens.
This full premiere will take
place at Mohegan Sun Arena at
Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre. Per-
formances will be at 7 p.m. June
27-29; 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.
June 30; and 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
July 1.
Tickets ranging in price from
$29.50 to $79.50 are on sale now
and may be purchased through
the Pennstar Box Office at the
arena, online at www.ticketmas-
ter.com, charge by phone (800)
745-3000 or at any Ticketmaster
outlet. A limited quantity of pre-
mium seats and family packages
are available.

SCRANTON A caregiver at
several associated personal care
homes in Pittston and Scranton
is seeking class-action damages
over alleged unpaid overtime,
according to a complaint filed in
federal court Tuesday.
According to the suit, Amy
Abbott of Scranton has worked
since 2010 as a medical techni-
cian/personal care assistant at
four facilities providing assist-
ed-living services to elderly and
mentally/physically disabled
residents: Pittston Heavenly
Manor, Pittston; Angels Family
Manor Personal Care Home,
Scranton; West Side Kozy Com-
fort Personal Care Home, Scran-
ton, and Minellis Kozy Comfort
Living, Scranton.
Either Frank or Dorothy Mi-
nelli of Clark Summit is listed as
the president of each facility,
with the other listed as vice
president.
Both Minellis are named as
defendants in the suit.
Noone answeredthe phone at
a number listed under Frank Mi-
nellis name Tuesday evening.
Abbott claims in the suit that
she regularly worked more than
40 hours per week at the resi-
dential care homes but would
only be paid an overtime premi-
um if she worked more than 40
hours at a single facility.
Her attorneys claim that vio-
lates the federal Fair Labor Stan-
dards Act as well as the Pennsyl-
vania Minimum Wage Act,
whichrequire joint employers to
base overtime compensation on
total hours worked in a week,
even where multiple unrelated
job assignments are performed.
The suit claims more than 50
individuals are impacted by the
uniformpayroll standards of the
facilities, and is seeking a class
action on their behalf.
Abbott is seeking compensa-
tion for unpaid wages, damages,
court costs and attorneys fees.
Abbott is represented by at-
torneys Peter Winebrake, R. An-
drew Santillo and Mark J. Got-
tesfeld of the Winebrake Law
Firm of Dresher, Montgomery
County.
Caregiver sues for overtime pay
By MATT HUGHES
mhughes@timesleader.com
BELLEFONTE Four of
the young men alleged to be
child sexual abuse victims of
former Penn state assistant
football coach Jerry Sandusky
filed court motions Tuesday
asking the judge in his case to
prevent their names from be-
ing made public.
Lawyers for so-called Vic-
tims 3, 5 and 7 made a broad
request to prevent identities
of alleged victims from being
disclosed publicly, while law-
yers for Victim 4 asked that a
pseudonym be used for him
during the upcoming trial.
It is an unfortunate reality
that some victims in high-pro-
file cases view the disclosure
of their identity as the equiv-
alent of being branded with a
scarlet letter, wrote Ben An-
dreozzi and Jeff Fritz, lawyers
for Victim 4, adding that al-
leged victims would rather
be remembered for their posi-
tive contributions to society.
Although Victim 4 remains
100 percent committed to tes-
tifying against the defendant
in this case, at what expense
will it come to his short-term
and long-term well-being?
they wrote.
Lawyers for Victim 5 joined
the motion by Victims 3 and 7,
which said disclosure would
cause their clients additional
fear, anxiety and mental an-
guish, and potentially expose
them to physical harm.
Although the testimony of
the alleged Sandusky sexual
abuse victims is of critical im-
portance and the legitimate
subject of media and public
interest, personal information
identifying Sanduskys al-
leged sexual abuse victims is
not, wrote attorneys Andrew
Shubin and Justine Androni-
ci, who represent Victims 3
and 7.
Shubin and Andronici
wrote that Sanduskys lawyer
was not opposed to their mo-
tion, but they had not heard
back from state prosecutors.
Messages left after business
hours on Tuesday for a
spokesman for the Attorney
Generals Office, and for
Sandusky lawyers Joe Amen-
dola and Karl Rominger, were
not immediately returned.
Sandusky, 68, is scheduled
to go on trial next week for 52
criminal counts involving 10
boys over 15 years.
He has repeatedly denied
the allegations and has been
confined to his home to await
trial.

Lawmakers have chance
to help foster children
M
ay is National Foster Care Month,
providing an opportunity to remem-
ber and understand the struggles
faced by societys most vulnerable chil-
dren, children who grow up in foster care.
By the time older foster youths reach the
ages of 19 to 21, theyve typically spent at
least 7.5 years in foster care.
In recent years, weve seen an increase in
adoptions and a decline in the number of
children in foster care, which is good news
because we know children do better in
their own homes, raised by families that
love and care for them. But, despite these
gains, there are troubling trends that still
must be addressed.
Our lawmakers have an opportunity to
improve the chances of adoption for
youths in foster care, giving them a better
chance to have the permanent support of a
family that can prepare them for the re-
sponsibilities of the adult world.
In his budget plan, Gov. Tom Corbett
has proposed implementing provisions of a
federal law called the Fostering Connec-
tions to Success and Increasing Adoptions
Act that would help older youths in foster
care, along with the families that want to
provide them with loving homes. These
provisions would afford more support to
families that want to adopt or provide
guardianship arrangements to older youths
in foster care, and also provide more sup-
port and guidance for older youths in fos-
ter care who have not found a forever
family.
Full implementation of Fostering Con-
nections in Pennsylvania makes great fiscal
sense because it will allow the state to
draw down additional federal child welfare
dollars. It also will save taxpayers money
because it will provide incentive for adop-
tion of children in foster care, allowing
cases to close and children to be raised by
families rather than a state-funded system.

Vet gets great service
at East Mountain Inn
O
ur family had a funeral that was attend-
ed by family members from the Pitts-
burgh area.
One of my cousins a veteran stayed
at the Best Western East Mountain Inn
and Suites, Plains Township. The accom-
modations were, he said, great room,
excellent breakfast and wonderful service
and added that when paying the bill it was
about 50 percent off the standard room
rate. When my cousin thanked the manag-
er, the reply from the manager was No,
thank you for your service to our country.
I told my cousin I would acknowledge
the East Mountain Inn for its generosity to
him and its fine accommodations.
So, thank you to this establishment on
behalf of my cousin and other servicemen
who no doubt will receive this same
thoughtful treatment.

SEND US YOUR OPINION
K
IM BLESSED with healthy
kids, so whenever my wife
wants to take them to the
doctor, I suggest we just
mail a check to the pediat-
ricians office and keep the
boys at home.
Why so cavalier? Because they rarely have
any ailment worth treating or worth the
risk from all the germs at the doctors office.
Our fine pediatrician went to Yale Medical
School, and for years all weve brought her
(thank God) are the sniffles.
I doubt society can afford this sort of thing
much longer. The truth is, an enormous
amount of health care is routine, and its
being delivered by people who are expensive-
ly overqualified. Thats one reason too many
people cant afford any care at all.
In the future, expect a lot more care to be
provided by perfectly capable people with
less training, but perhaps more time. Im
talking about nurse practitioners, physician
assistants, dental hygienists and other licens-
ed health professionals who can easily handle
a lot of routine medical matters.
Were already moving in this direction, and
well have to move faster. Under President
Barack Obamas health care reforms, perhaps
a million additional New Yorkers will gain
access to the health care system in 2014. We
dont have enough physicians to accommo-
date all of them, and we cant produce a lot of
new MDs overnight.
Even in the absence of these federal re-
forms, medical demand has been growing.
Across the country, an aging population is
using more care at the same time doctors are
getting older and more women have entered
the profession. Both groups tend to work
fewer hours than young men. The Associ-
ation of American Medical Colleges esti-
mates well be short 90,000 physicians in 10
years.
Physicians and dentists, moreover, arent
eager to move to rural areas. Nurse practitio-
ners and the like can help fill this vacuum,
providing basic care and, when a case re-
quires more expertise, referral to a doctor in
a larger community.
Already, many states are moving toward
allowing such practitioners to do more on
their own. Seventeen states have opted out of
a federal requirement that nurse anesthetists
be supervised by a physician. In Colorado,
controversy over this issue has ended up in
the courts.
People worry about whether practitioners
without medical degrees can provide equiv-
alent care. But theyre already doing so all
over the country, thanks in part to serious
training requirements and state regulation.
Nurse practitioners, for example, typically
have a masters degree as well as clinical
training. They can meet most of the medical
needs of the average patient, including pre-
scribing medication.
Besides, its important to measure any
shortcomings these newer medical profes-
sionals might have against the shortcomings
of a system that makes physicians so harried,
scarce and expensive.
Which brings us back to health care costs.
In the United States, theyre just completely
out of line; if we spent what similar countries
do as a percent of gross domestic product,
wed save about $1 trillion a year. Moving
away from an over-reliance on physicians and
dentists can help rein in medical spending.
Consider nurse anesthetists again. Their
median pay is $157,010, according to sala-
ry.com. Thats a lot, but anesthesiologists
make more than twice as much.
These trends might reverse themselves.
We might yet produce a lot more primary
care doctors and pay them a lot less. But I
doubt it. Like it or not, theres probably a
nurse practitioner or similar pro in your
health care future and chances are, youll be
better off for it.

COMMENTARY
D A N I E L A K S T
U
.S. SEN. BOB Casey,
D-Scranton, intro-
duced legislation last
weekintendedtolend
teethtothelawpassedtoprotect
the jobs of active duty National
Guard and Reserve members.
Existing laws require that
businesses hold jobs open for
members of the National Guard
and Reserves who are called to
duty.
Those laws have not always
beenfollowed, Caseysaid, point-
ing to the experience of retired
Army Brig. Gen. Michael Silva
who lost his job with a contrac-
tor working for the U.SCustoms
andBorder Patrol. TheWashing-
ton Post found that the federal
government was the employer
named in 18 percent of 1,548
complaints alleging violations of
the law.
Under Caseys bill, an employ-
er couldnot forceaservicemem-
ber to automatically give up his
or her job when called into ser-
vice. A potential new employer
also couldnt make giving up the
Guardor Reserve a conditionfor
being hired. The bill would give
service members the right to
seek punitive damages against
an employer in such a case.
Caseys legislation does not
tackle the root cause of jobless-
ness among veterans. Most vet-

T
HIS IS YOUR invita-
tion.
If you want to see
Wilkes-Barre become
a better place for children to
grow and thrive, your days of
waiting for the right moment
to act, or the stars to align in
just the right formation or a
formal request for your partici-
pation have ended. This is it.
The people behind a startup
community-enhancing cam-
paign called Building Bridges
urge anyone, indeed everyone,
with good intentions and the
gumption to get involved to at-
tend one or more of five meet-
ings at city schools during May
and June.
Nearly 100 people attended
the first session last week at
Dodson Elementary School.
As grassroots movements go,
thats a superb start. It sug-
gests that certain area resi-
dents intend to use the sense-
less shooting death of 14-year-
old Tyler Winstead in April as
the catalyst to develop closer
ties among neighbors and en-
tire neighborhoods.
But in order to succeed, this
sort of transformational pro-
ject cant rely on a single per-
son or even a central group to
power it. Building Bridges re-
quires widespread collabora-
tion, ensuring that, even if it
sputters due to challenging
andchangingcircumstances, it
wont fade out.
So, will you accept the call
and take a seat at the table?
There is space waiting for
concerned parents and guardi-
ans, including grandparents.
Ditto for teachers and school
administrators.
Representatives from the ar-
eas Crime Watch and Guardi-
an Angels programs should
have a place, too, considering
how much knowledge they
have to share about making
our streets safer.
Theres also room for the
skilled professionals and vol-
unteers who lend their know-
how to the regions social ser-
vice agencies: Big Brothers/
Big Sisters of the Bridge, the
Boys &Girls Clubs, the Family
Service Association of Wyom-
ing Valley, the Childrens Ser-
vice Center, the Commission
on Economic Opportunity, the
Volunteers of America, Scouts
and so on.
A seat awaits anyone whose
stomach churned over Lu-
zerne Countys 2009 kids-for-
cash debacle, who cringed at
this springs street violence in
the city involving a machete,
whose heart ached at the loss
of Winstead, a mere eighth-
grader.
If youfit the description, this
is your invitation to build
bridges.
Will you respond?

are deciding to simply walk
away.
People are definitely treat-
ing it as a business decision
moresothananethical decision
anymore, McGuire said.
The rise in foreclosures has
mirrored the regions unem-
ployment rate, which remained
the highest rate in the state in
April at 8.7 percent.
Theres absolutely a correla-
tion, McGuire said.
Walking away from a mort-
gage can allow unemployed
people tomove freely toparts of
thestateor countrywherethere
are more available jobs, he said.
Others have tried to keep up
payments hoping the economy
and market rebound, but as
years went by without improve-
ment, theyve made the deci-
sion to get out fromunder their
mounting debt.
They cannot wait it out long
enough while the market re-
bounds, McGuire said.
He said he has also seen own-
ers move to a rental property or
in with family and then rent
their homes out for enough
money to pay the mortgage.
Were seeing all kinds of in-
novations, McGuire said, and
things people are doing to stave
off foreclosure.
For those able to wait it out,
McGuire said things will cor-
rect themselves at some point,
though maybe never complete-
ly.
The potential exists, he
said. Were hoping these are
the peak (foreclosure) numbers
and this is the beginning of the
end.
In the meantime, lenders and
homeowners will have to work
out ways to avoid foreclosure,
something that has been occur-
ring or the rates would be
much, much higher, McGuire
said he believes.
Not only were one out of ev-
ery 29 mortgaged homes in the
region under foreclosure in
March, 6.46 percent, or about
one inevery14mortgagedprop-
erties, was at least 90 days de-
linquent, according to Core-
Logic.
The report was released the
same day the Standard &
Poors/Case-Shiller home price
index came out, showing aver-
age home sale prices fell to new
lows in the first quarter in 20 ci-
ties tracked nationwide, but
were up in March from Febru-
ary for the first time in seven
months.

Houses like this one on Brookside Street, Wilkes-Barre, are being
foreclosed upon, inundating the local housing market with more
homes for sale. This house was one of 525 properties in the
midst of foreclosure filings made this year alone in Luzerne
County, according to the county prothonotarys website.

The Scranton-Wilkes-Barre
Metropolitan Statistical Ar-
eas seasonally adjusted unem-
ployment rate in April was un-
changed at 8.7 percent.
The rate was the highest
among Pennsylvanias 14 large
labor markets, while the State
College MSAs rate of 5.5 per-
cent was the lowest. Pennsyl-
vanias seasonally adjusted un-
employment rate dropped
one-tenth of 1 percent to 7.4
percent, while the United
States rate, also down a tenth
of a point, was at 8.1 percent.
Locally, the unemployment
rate decreased half of a point
over the year, mirroring Penn-
sylvanias drop, while the U.S.
rate was down nine-tenths of a
percent.
The MSA includes Lacka-
wanna, Luzerne and Wyoming
counties. Luzernes unem-
ployment rate remained at 8.9
percent; Lackawannas re-
mained at 8.5 percent and
Wyomings dropped slightly
from 8.7 to 8.5 percent.
The regions seasonally ad-
justed total nonfarm jobs de-
creased 500 from March to
258,500 in April but jobs in-
creased by 4,100 over the year,
up 1.6 percent.
Sectors that sawbig year-to-
year gains included 2,300
more jobs in professional and
business services; 1,100 in
transportation, warehousing
and utilities; and 600 in health
care and social assistance.
Sectors that sawlosses includ-
ed local government, exclud-
ing educational services,
which shed1,000 jobs, and 200
in leisure and hospitality.
The region was one of only
four statewide with an unem-
ployment rate above 8 per-
cent. Allentown/Easton/Be-
thlehem was 8.1 percent and
both Philadelphia and John-
stown registered rates of 8.2

She was ecstatic for the op-
portunity to be part of it, Henry
Gesecki said. Theyre a very
close-knit group of Navy people
in the submariners.
Gesecki Holt said she could
not comment without the Navys
clearance.
Women had previously been
permitted on submarines for on-
ly a few days at most, primarily
to perform technical mainte-
nance or for training, but it was
determined that because officers
are entitled to a private bunk and
an officer-only bathroom, wom-
en could serve in the role if a re-
versible sign was placed on the
bathroom door.
Gesecki Holt jumped at the
opportunity, her father said.
In fact her dream if they ever
open it up is to be part of the
attack sub, which right now
women arent allowed to, Henry
Gesecki said. Theyre fast and
small and the accommodations
for females just arent there right
now.
Gesecki Holt completed a 15-
month intensive nuclear-sub
training program that took her
to bases in North Carolina, Con-
necticut and New York. She now
lives in Jacksonville, Fla., with
her husband, 2009 Naval Acade-
my graduate Jordan Holt, and is
awaiting deployment on the USS
Wyoming nuclear submarine.
Henry Gesecki said his daugh-
ter was attracted to the assign-
ment because its difficulty
sparked her competitive nature.
A track star who qualified for the
state meet in all four years of
high school and made the All-Pa-
triot-League team in college, Ge-
secki Holts athletic prowess
helped her get into the Naval A-
cademy, her father said.
Shes been competing since
she was a little kid playing biddy
basketball when she was just 12
years old, and she just wanted to
be a part of that kind of environ-
ment, Gesecki said.
Henry Gesecki added that Abi-
gail is not his only daughter to
accomplish the extraordinary.
His oldest daughter, Cassandra,
29, is a captain in the Marine
Corps and a veteran of Afghan-
istan who now works as an as-
sistant public service director for
the Corps in Hollywood, provid-
ing technical advice to television
and movie producers. Middle
daughter Candice, 26, graduated
with a chemical engineering de-
gree from Carnegie-Mellon Uni-
versity and is now pursuing a
masters in nutrition at Johns
Hopkins University.
They kept busy, Gesecki
said. They dont let any moss

AccordingtothewebsiteGaw-
ker.com, Ramos, described as a
drifter and convicted child mo-
lester, was circumstantially con-
nected to Patz.
The Gawker report states:
Scrutiny on Ramos intensi-
fied three years after Etan disap-
peared, when he was discovered
livingina drainpipe inthe Bronx
and trying to lure young boys
there. He eventually made a se-
ries of statements to investiga-
tors that impliedhis guilt: Asked

Ramos claimed that on the

insistedhe eventually placedthe
boy on the subway unharmed.
The report also states, Ra-
mos also told one jailhouse in-
formant that he knew Etans

another that he had indeed ab-
ducted the boy.
The report added, prosecu-
tors could never gather enough

in 1979, looking for potential
DNA evidence, but came up

Romney spent Tuesday eve-
ning at a Las Vegas fundraiser
with Donald Trump, who has
been renewing discredited sug-
gestions that Obama wasnt
born in the United States. Rom-
neysays he believes Obama was
born in America but has yet to
condemn Trumps repeated in-
sinuations to the contrary.
If Mitt Romney lacks the
backbone to stand up to a char-
latan like Donald Trump be-
cause hes so concerned about
lining his campaigns pockets,
what does that say about the
kind of president he would be?
Obamas deputy campaign
manager, Stephanie Cutter,
said in a statement.
Asked Monday about
Trumps contentions, Romney
said: I dont agree with all the
people who support me. And
my guess is they dont all agree
with everything I believe in.
He added: But I need to get
50.1 percent or more. And Im
appreciative to have the help of
a lot of good people.
Trump told CNN in an inter-
view Tuesday that he and Rom-
ney talk about other issues
jobs, China, oil andmore and
not about the place of Obamas
birth or the validity of his birth
certificate.
Asked how he viewed Rom-
neys position that the presi-
dent was indeed born in the
U.S., Trump said: Hes entitled
to his opinion, and I think thats
wonderful. I dont happen to
share that opinion and thats
wonderful also.
Republicans wont officially
nominateRomneyuntil lateAu-
gust at the GOP national con-
vention in Tampa, Fla. Romney
has 1,174 convention delegates.
He won at least 88 delegates
inTexas with64left tobe decid-
ed, according to early returns.
The 152 delegates in Texas are
awarded in proportion to the
statewide vote.
Texas Republicans also voted
in a Senate primary to choose a
candidate to run for the seat be-
ing vacated by Sen. Kay Bailey
Hutchison. Lt. Gov. David De-
whurst led state Solicitor Gen-
eral Ted Cruz and Dallas Mayor
Tom Leppert in early returns.
If no one gets more than 50
percent of the vote, the top two
finishers will go to a runoff in
July. The nominee will be
strongly favored to win in No-
vember in heavily Republican
Texas.
Romney, 65, is clinching the
presidential nominationlater in
the calendar than any recent
Republican candidate but
not quite as late as Obama in
2008. Obama clinched the
Democratic nomination on
June 3, 2008, at the endof anep-
ic primary battle with Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
Four years ago, John McCain
reachedthethresholdonMarch
4, after Romney had dropped
out of the race about a month
earlier.
This years primary fight was
extended by a back-loaded pri-
mary calendar, new GOP rules
that generally awarded fewer
delegates for winning a state
and a Republican electorate
that built up several other can-
didates before settling on Rom-
ney.
Rick Perry, Herman Cain,
Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum
and Trump all of them sat
atop the Republican field at
some point. Minnesota Rep.
Michelle Bachmann peaked for
a short time, too. But Romney
outlasted them all, even as
some GOP voters and tea party
backers questioned his conser-
vative credentials.
The primary race started in
JanuarywithSantorum, the for-
mer Pennsylvania senator, nar-
rowly edging Romney in the Io-
wa caucuses. Romney rebound-
edwitha big wininNewHamp-
shire before Gingrich, the
former House speaker, won
South Carolina.
Romney responded with a
barrage of negative ads against
Gingrich in Florida and got a
much-needed 14-point win.
Romneys opponents fought
back: Gingrich called hima liar,
and Santorum said Romney
was the worst Republican in
the country to run against
Obama.
Romney has been in general-
election mode for weeks, rais-
ing money and focusing on
Obama, largely ignoring the
primaries since his competitors
dropped out or stopped cam-
paigning. Santorum suspended
his campaign April 10, and Gin-
grich left the race a few weeks
later.

WASHINGTON The White
House said President Barack Oba-
ma misspoke on Tuesday when he
referred to a Polish death camp
while honoring a Polish war hero.
The presidents remark had
drawn immediate complaints from
Poles who said Obama should have
called it a German death camp in
Nazi-occupied Poland, to distin-
guish the perpetrators from the lo-
cation. Polish Foreign Minister Ra-
dekSikorski calledit a matter of ig-
norance and incompetence.
Obama made the comment while
awarding the Medal of Freedom to
Jan Karski, a resistance fighter
against the Nazi occupation of Po-
land during World War II. Karski
died in 2000.
During an East Room ceremony
honoring 13 Medal of Freedom re-
cipients, Obama said that Karski
served as a courier for the Polish
resistance during the darkest days
of World War II. Before one trip
across enemy lines, resistance
fighters told himthat Jews were be-
ing murdered on a massive scale
and smuggled himinto the Warsaw
Ghetto and a Polish death camp to
see for himself. Jan took that infor-
mation to President Franklin Roo-
sevelt, giving one of the first ac-
counts of theHolocaust andimplor-
ing to the world to take action.
Sikorski tweeted that the White
House would apologize for this
outrageous error and that Polish
Prime Minister Donald Tusk would
address the matter on Wednesday.
Its a pity that such a dignified
ceremony was overshadowed by ig-
norance and incompetence.
Alex Storozynski, president of
the Kosciuszko Foundation, said
Obamas comment shocked the
Poles present at the White House
and those watching on C-SPAN. ...
Karski would have cringed if he
heard this.

NEWARK, N.J. A little less than
two years after battling for the services
of high-scoringfree agent forwardIlya Ko-
valchuk, the New Jersey Devils and
Los Angeles Kings are going after a
bigger prize the Stanley Cup.
To tell the truth, hardly anyone picked
the Devils and Kings to get this far.
The odds were lottery like, and the
teams beat them with authority in reac-
hing a series that will open Wednesday
at the Prudential Center.
You hear it every year, but it doesnt
get old: Once you make it in, you have a
chance to get here, Kings coach Darryl
Sutter said. I think thats one thing that
the prognosticators dont consider. I al-
ways put it this way, when the playoffs
start, the clocks should be reset. Be-
cause everyones starting over, and all 16
teams have a shot to win it all.
I think both teams would agree
with that this year.

the second No. 6 seed to reach the
final. The 2004 Calgary Flames,
who were coached by Sutter, were
the other.

even bigger obstacles. They are

NEW YORK Philadelphia
Phillies ace Roy Halladay is ex-
pectedtomiss sixtoeight weeks
because of a strained right
shoulder, the latest major set-
back for the five-time NL East
champions.
Halladay was put on the 15-
day disabled list Tuesday, two
days after he was hit hard and
pulled from a start in St. Louis
after just two innings because of
shoulder soreness.
The two-time Cy Young win-
ner will be shut down for a mini-
mum of three weeks, then work
toward rejoining the rotation,
Phillies assistant general man-
ager Scott Proefrock said.
Proefrock said tests done in
Philadelphia indicated Halladay
doesnt need surgery to recover
and that the injury doesnt affect
his rotator cuff.
We hate to have him down,
but its nothing that requires
anything other than rest, Proe-
frock said.
Halladay is 4-5 with a 3.98
ERA in 11 starts. He has pitched
at least 220 innings in each of
the past six seasons, and four
times led the league in innings.
His 72 1-3 innings this year tied
Houstons Wandy Rodriguez for
the NL lead.
The move with Halladay was
made retroactive
to Monday. Catch- er

Once Carver Engineering and
Science finally arrived at Dallas
High School, it didnt take long
for Holy Redeemer to send the
District 12 runner-up right back
to the bus Tuesday afternoon.
The District 2 champion Roy-
als seized control early in the
first game and never let the En-
gineers back in the match, post-
ing a 3-0 victory in the first
roundof the PIAAClass 2Aboys
volleyball tournament.
Redeemer won the first two
games by 25-12 scores and wast-
ed little time to clinch the victo-
ry with a 25-10 triumph in game
three.
Redeemer moves to the quar-
terfinals on Friday at Penn State
where it will play in a four-team
pool. The top two teams from
the pool advance to the semifi-
nals on Saturday. The cham-
pionshipmatchis also Saturday.
The match started about 70
minutes after the scheduled
3:30 p.m. start. Carver was
caught in a traffic bottleneck
due to an accident on the
Schuylkill Expressway, which
leads out of its Philadelphia
home base.
We just sat around, hit onthe
wall a little bit, Redeemer hit-
ter Mike Prociak said of the de-
lay. We werent allowed to go
on the court. I dont know, it
would have been cheating or
something. It was a nice, long
wait we had today.
It took Redeemer less time to
dispose of the Engineers.

Let it rain,
Hazleton Area coach Vince Triv-

game was called. The difference
last year (a 1-0 loss to William-
sport in a district semifinal halt-
ed by weather) was that it
changed the outcome of the
game. I dont think it made a dif-
ference today. We could have
played and played, and it
wouldnt have changed the re-
sult.
The win makes Hazleton Area
the district champions for the
first time since 2010. The Cou-
gars will play Williamsport for
the tournament championship
and a ticket to states Thursday at
Wilkes.
Imreally excited because this
is my senior year, Hazleton Area
outfielder Ashley Donlin said.
We worked really hard this year
and weve all just come together
as a team.
Becky Demko offered another
dominating pitching perform-
ance, allowing just an infield sin-
gle in the second inning. She
faced the minimum until the last
inning.
We knew we played them ear-
lier this year. We just wanted to
get on top, we wanted to get a
lead, said Demko, recalling a 7-6
Cougars win over Wallenpau-

much the same pitches; there
were no real changes from last

BUL L E T I N BOARD
Through this past weekend Jim Morrill Jr. leads the driver stand-
ings through the early part of the season at Pocono Downs. Morrill
tops thecharts with71victories, winningat anice21%clip. Jimalsois
the leader in purses won with just a shade under $800,000. Chasing
Morrill in the second position is none other than George Napolitano
Jr. with 69 winners driven. These two should be nip and tuck most of
the season, with each driver winning at the Downs on a regular basis.
On the training end Ron Burke is tops on the leader board. Burke is
having a career year winning up and down the east coast and even in
Canada. Ron currently is in the number one position with 23 tallies.
Chasing Burke in the second position is the red-hot Chris Oakes.
Oakes is winningat nearly 30%andhas beenclaiminghorses a plenty
of late. These two guys are always ones to watch whenever they have
a horse entered in any particular race.
It should be a dogfight right down to the wire for both the driver
and trainer leaders throughout the 2012 meet.

Mike Vamos serving and the
middle hitting of Prociak trig-
gered an 8-1 run in the opening
game that gave the Royals a 12-4
lead.
Brendan Leahigh then started
connecting on some spikes from
the left side to boost the advan-
tage to 18-7. Carver barely put a
dent into the lead before Vamos
added two more of his 12 service
points to seal the opening-game
win.
We did what we do all the
time, Redeemer coach Jack Ka-
blick said. We jump served, we
flowserved, we attacked fromev-
erywhere. We attacked from ev-
ery angle and every place.
The next two games were
much like the first, with a fewdif-
ferent names popping to the fore-
front for Redeemer.
Redeemers RobWingert broke
a 3-3 tie with three consecutive
service points, and Carver never
recovered in the second game.
Wingert had a strong all-around
match, finishing with teamhighs
in service points (17) and kills
(10). He added12 assists, second
only to setter Jeremy Myslowski
with14.
Wingert also triggered a 6-0
run in the third game with his
serving. T.J. Doyle (12 points)
served four more later for a 21-9
lead.
Wingert, Leahigh (8 kills) and
Prociak (8 kills) dominated the
net for the most part, except for
an occasional swat by Carvers
Malik Parker. The Royals also
forced numerous errors with
their serving and hitting place-
ment.
The latter was part of the strat-
egy after Redeemer viewed some
highlight videos available on
Carvers website.
We wanted to keep them on
their heels, Kablick said. We
werent sure about their ball con-
trol, about their passing. I had a
feelingit was suspect, evenonthe
videos we saw. So if we figured if
we made themuse their forearms
a little bit, we could probably
keep the ball away from the guys
wewantedtokeepit awayfrom. It
pretty much worked out.

Valley West
looks for next
district title
against Demko was the weather
clock. Storms that blew through
the area were fast approaching
during the fifth inning. Demko
worked quickly as darkness
workedits way over the field; try-
ingtoget the requisite three outs
to make the game official.
In the process, she issued her
only two walks of the day.
I just wantedtoget out of that
inning. You could see the storm
coming, Demko said. You have
to control your pitches, make
sure you get pitches where you
want to.
We rushed her, Trivelpiece
said. We wanted to get that fifth
inning in. Thats why Demko
walked those two batters.
Shannon Salvaterra opened
the scoring with a lined single in
the first inning that skipped
through the outfielder, allowing
Maria Trivelpiece to score.
Singles by Donlin, Carly Rossi
and Lexi Wolk extended the lead
to 2-0 in the second.
She (Wallenpaupack pitcher
Brittany Guerrieri) was just put-
ting her pitches over the plate,
said Donlin, who had two hits.
Last time we played, she pitched
and did the same things.
Trivelpiece had a hit leading
off the third, and Demko added a
single before both scored on
ground balls to make it 4-0 half-
way through the abbreviated
game.
In the fourth, Hailey Kendall
and Trivelpiece sandwiched hits
arounda walk toWolk andanim-
pressivetwo-strikesacrificebunt
by Abby Sachse.
One pitch into the top of the
sixth inning, the umpiring crew
saw lighting and halted play.
Rain fell less than 250 feet away
from the field during the initial
stoppage, but the playingsurface
remained dry. Strong winds lift-
ed canopies that stood over the
players benches, and toppled
temporary fencing that cor-
doned off the players area.

COUGARS
Berwick is looking for a better
performance this time around.
Whatever happens today, it
couldnt be much worse than last
yearsjourneyintothePIAAGirls
Spring Soccer playoffs.
The Dawgs (12-3-1) will find
out starting at 6 p.m. today at
Lake-Lehman High School when
they once again play the sixth
seed out of District 3. The oppo-
nent, though, is different Me-
chanicsburg (16-6-1), a team ca-
pable of ending their season.
Berwick coachPaul DiPippa is
banking on a year of experience
for most of his lineup being a fac-
tor.
Were a year older, even
though were starting four fresh-
men, DiPippa said. These ju-
niors and seniors have seen it
now. We want to make history.
We want to go farther than any
Berwick team.
Last years Berwick squad,
which also won the District 2 ti-
tle, was stoppedinthefirst round
by Manheim Township 4-0. The
Dawgs ended their 2008 D2-3A
title season by falling in the first
round to Conestoga Valley 3-0.
And the 2006 version of the
Dawgs finishedsecondinthe dis-
trict, but lost 1-0 to Emmaus in
the opening round.
DiPippa said his team has
played with more determination
as of late after beingconsidereda
darkhorsemoreor lessfor the
district championship. Perennial
powers Coughlin and Dallas
moved to the forefront late in the
Wyoming Valley Conference sea-
son, leaving the Dawgs in a pack
with some hopefuls.
But a 4-3 victory over Dallas to
endtheWVCseasonservedas an
impetus. Berwick went on to
knock off Coughlin 2-0 in the
semifinals and Dallas 2-1 for the
title.
One thing we told the girls is
we were counted out a week
ago, DiPippa said. We werent
even a factor into this champion-
ship game andthat was a big mo-
tivating factor for our team. We
have a lot of heart and desire.
Mechanicsburg has found
more success the last two years
in the state tournament. The
Wildcats have posted 5-0 and 8-1
victories in the first round. They
also won the Mid-Penn Keystone
Division and shut out nine oppo-

Mechanicsburgs seed is low

PARIS For more than a dec-
ade, whatever the state of her
healthor her game, nomatter the
opponent or arena, Serena Wil-
liams always won first-round
matches at Grand Slam tourna-
ments.
Always.
Until Tuesday at the French
Open. Until Williams came with-
in two points of victory nine
times, yet remarkably failed to
close the deal against unheralded
and 111th-ranked Virginie Razza-
no of France.
Until a theatrical, 23-minute fi-
nal game filled with 30 points,
more than enough for an entire
set, featuring ebbs and flows,
high-pressure shotmaking and
nerves and even thunderous
protests from the crowd when
the chair umpire dockedRazzano
a point. That look-away-and-you-
miss-something game included
five wasted break points for Wil-
liams, and seven match points
that she saved, until Razzano fi-
nally converted her eighth, 3
hours and 3 minutes after they
began playing.
All told, until Tuesday, Wil-
liams was 46 for 46 in openers at
tennis top venues, and those en-
counters tended to be routine
and drama-free, befitting a wom-
anso goodthat the goal and13
times, the endresult was a ma-
jor championship.
Not this time. Now Williams
first-round Grand Slam record is
46-1 after as stunning a denoue-
ment as could be in a 4-6, 7-6 (5),
6-3 loss to Razzano on the red
clay at Roland Garros.
The fifth-seededWilliams, con-
sidered by many a pre-tourna-
ment favorite, led 5-1 in the sec-
ond-set tiebreaker, before drop-
ping the next 13 points in a row.
Suddenly, her shots didnt always
carry their usual oomph; her
court coverage was ordinary.
Ive been through so much in
my life, and ... Im not happy, by
no means, said Williams, her
eyes welling with tears. I just al-
ways think things can be worse.
The 30-year-old American re-
turned to action last year after
missingabout10months because
of a series of health scares, in-
cluding two foot operations and
blood clots, a scary stretch she
says altered her worldview.
The rowdy spectators in Court
Philippe Chatrier would have
beenpullingfor Razzanoanyway,
of course, because of her citizen-
ship. But their support was par-
ticularly strong because of her re-
cent heartbreak, well-known in
France: Razzanos fiance Ste-
phane Vidal, also her longtime
coach died at age 32 of a brain
tumor in May 2011, a little more
thana weekbeforeher first-round
match at last years French Open.
He had encouraged her to go
ahead and enter the tournament,
so she did, honoring his memory
by stepping on court to play, a
black ribbon pinned to her shirt.
When she walked out of the lock-
er roomfor what turned out to be
a straight-set loss, she wore a
gold chain that Vidal had given
her as a Valentines Day gift a few
years earlier.
Honestly, the past is the past,
Razzano said Tuesday, when she
dealt with leg cramps starting in
the second set. I think nowI did
my mourning. I feel good today.
It took time.
Said Williams: I know of her
story and her husband. We all
have stories. I mean, I almost
died, and Venus is struggling her-
self. So, you know, its life. You
know, it just depends on howyou
deal with it. She obviously is
dealing with it really well.
Williams exit was by far the
most newsworthy development
onDay 3at RolandGarros, where
Maria Sharapova won 6-0, 6-0,
and Rafael Nadal began his bid
for a record seventh French Open
championship with a straight-set
victory.
Williams entered Tuesday hav-
ing won her previous17 matches,
all on clay.

Serena dropped a first round
match for the first time at a
Grand Slam tournament.

USAs Serena Williams reacts as she plays Frances Virginie Raz-
zano during their first round match in the French Open.
only the second No. 8 seed to
make it since the conference-
based NHL playoff format was
introduced in 1993-94. The Ed-
monton Oilers were the first in
2006.
Its all about winning here,
and eliminating distractions
and doing what it takes to be
successful, said Brodeur, who
led the Devils to Cups in 1995,
2000 and 2003. Thats worked
for us this year, andreallymyen-
tirecareer. For me, tobeapart of
that is great. Tocome tothe rink
every day during my career,
knowing we hada chance to win
every night is something spe-
cial.
Ive had that my whole ca-
reer here, andthats beena great
ride.
While this isnt a glamour se-
ries that boasts the likes of a Sid-
neyCrosby, a StevenStamkos or
even a Henrik Lundqvist, it has
elements that should prove en-
tertaining on the ice.
To start, this is an East-West
series featuring two of the na-
tions biggest media markets in
Los Angeles and the New York
metropolitan area.
But the Kings and Devils also
present great story lines.
Los Angeles, which heavily
courted Kovalchuk in free agen-
cy, is making only its second ap-
pearance in a Cup final, having
lost in 1993 to Montreal. The
Kings are back, though, after a
midseason shakeup that saw
Sutter replace Terry Murray just
before Christmas and a late
trade that added skilled scorer
Jeff Carter to the lineup. Still,
they didnt clincha playoff berth
until the final week of the sea-
son.
But in the postseason, the
Kings have been virtually un-
stoppable. They have posted a
12-2 record and knocked off the
three top seeds in the Western
Conference Vancouver, St.
Louis and Phoenix. They have
never trailedinaseries, winning
the first three games in each
round.
Everybodys just clicking,
Kings defenseman Drew
Doughty said. People are used
to playing with their linemates
now. The lines have been the
same from the last part of the
season. Dpairings are the same.
Its just gettingusedtothem. Ev-
eryone is playing with confi-
dence. Once you start clicking
like that, pucks start going in
the net for you.
The Devils story is just as
good. They missed the playoffs
last seasondespite retaining Ko-
valchuk with a $102 million con-
tract that the league said violat-
ed its letter of the law. Few ex-
pected them to recover this
quickly especially with Brodeur
seemingly on his last legs after a
sub-par season, and captain
Zach Parise returning from a
major knee injury. When top
center Travis Zajac blew out an
Achilles tendon before training
camp, the Devils chances
seemed faint.
Guess again.
New Jersey won its final six
games in the regular season, ral-
lied from3-2 deficit in the open-
ing round of the playoffs with
two overtime wins against Flor-
ida, and then eliminated the
Flyers and Rangers, their two
biggest rivals, in five and six
games, respectively.
Last year was tough, said
Kovalchuk, who said there was
never a doubt in his mind that
he would stay in New Jersey.
But we made sure it paid off.
We have a great coaching staff,
great players here, great group
of guys, very close to each other.
I think that makes a big differ-
ence.
The other thing that should
be great is the goaltending.
The 26-year-old Quick leads
playoff netminders in goals-
against average (1.54) and save
percentage (.946). He has eight
road wins in as many starts, post-
ing a 1.55 goals-against average
and.948save percentage inthose
games.
Brodeur is a four-time Vezina
Trophy winner. He has playedin
24 career Stanley Cup final
games, posting a 15-9 record
with a 1.91 goals-against, losing
only a series to Colorado in sev-
en games in 2001. The Montreal
native is set to become the fifth
goaltender in NHL history and
first since Jacques Plante in
1970 to appear in the Stanley
Cupfinal after his 40thbirthday:
Well, everyone knows what
hes meant tothe league andthis
team, and where he stands in
history, Quicksaidof the NHLs
winningest goaltender. For me,
its not about me against him.
Its about the Kings andthe Dev-
ils.
The Devils and Kings are very
similar in their approaches. Both
want to establish the forecheck,
createpressureandhaveit leadto
offense. The Kings, who posted a
25-13-11 regular-season record af-
ter Sutter tookover, aredefinitely
a little bigger than the Rangers,
and they certainly have more
depth.

needed a break.
Halladay has thrown a lot of
bullets over his career, Manuel
said, suggesting the 35-year-old
pitcher could step back for a bit
and still be dominant. The dura-
ble Halladay had not been on
the DL because of shoulder
trouble since 2004.
Hes got to get well, Manuel
said.
The injury came with the
Phillies at 26-24 and tied with
Atlanta for last in the division,
four games behind Washington.
Philadelphia has managed to
stay close minus All-Star hitters
Ryan Howard (Achilles tendon)
and Chase Utley (knee), who
havent played at all this season.
Manuel said he harbored hope
that his slugging first baseman
and smooth-fielding second
baseman would be back at some
point this year.
As for Halladays absence, it
would hurt us, Manuel said.
How much, I really dont
know.
The Phillies have relied on
their pitching, particularly their
rotation, to stick solidly in con-
tention. Vance Worley, who is
on the DL and hasnt started
since May 11 because of elbow
trouble, threw his first bullpen
session since the injury before
Tuesdays game.
Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee, Joe
Blanton and Kyle Kendrick re-
main in the rotation, and there
are a few potential replace-
ments at Triple-A, including for-
mer big leaguers Dave Bush and
Scott Elarton.
Another possible fill-in could
be former Phillies star Roy Os-
walt, who is a free agent and has
attracted interest from several
contenders.
Yeah, we can always use
pitching, Manuel said, while
adding, Im not (GM) Ruben
Amaro to get another.
Halladay initially felt discom-
fort in his shoulder last Tuesday
in a start against Washington
but worked through it. He cut
back on his throwing regimen
before his next outing, but was
tagged by Yadier Molinas grand
slam in St. Louis.
Halladay began the season by
throwing eight strong innings
in a 1-0 win at Pittsburgh on
opening day and seemed fine
until blowing a 6-0 lead against
Atlanta on May 2. Hes 1-3 since
then and the Phillies have lost
four of his five starts.
The eight-time All-Star came
to the Phillies in a trade with To-
ronto before the 2010 season
and got a $60 million, three-
year contract. Halladay pitched
a perfect game against the Mar-
lins in that first season with Phi-
ladelphia, and later that year
threw a no-hitter against Cin-
cinnati in his first career post-
season outing. The Phillies won
the 2008 World Series and
hoped to capture another crown
after adding Halladay. But Phi-
ladelphia lost to the eventual
champion San Francisco Giants
in the 2010 NL championship
series, then Halladay lost to
Chris Carpenter and St. Louis
1-0 in the deciding Game 5 of
the 2011 division series.
HALLADAY
ARLINGTON, Texas The
Texas Rangers agreed to a
minor league deal with free-
agent pitcher Roy Oswalt with
the anticipation that he will
join the rotation within a few
weeks.
Assuming Oswalt passes a
physical, he is expected to join
Triple-A Round Rock at some
point this week.
The deal was announced in
the middle of the Rangers
game Tuesday night against
Seattle.
The three-time All-Star was
interested in joining the two-
time defending American
League champions during the
offseason, but the Rangers
were then set with their start-
ing rotation.
The Rangers signed Japa-
nese star Yu Darvish in Janu-
ary, a month after C.J. Wilson
left in free agency. Plus, the
Rangers had already decided to
move hard-throwing closer
Neftali Feliz from the bullpen
into the starting rotation.
But Feliz was put on the
15-day disabled list May 21
with right elbow inflammation
and is not even expected to
pick up a baseball again until
late June. Scott Feldman, a
17-game winner as a starter in
2009 but who has since been
primarily a long reliever be-
cause of an injury, made his
second start in Felizs spot
Tuesday night.
Oswalt likely will make sev-
eral minor-league starts before
joining the Texas rotation.

Steve Pearce and Jack Cust
came up huge for the Yankees
combining for five hits, five runs,
three RBI and three home runs.
Pearce and Cust, who bat third
and fourth in the lineup, clubbed
back-to-back solo home runs in
the bottomof the first to give the
Yankees a 2-0 lead. Cust connect-
ed again in the bottom of the
third to put the Yankees ahead

But anerror anda walkput two
runners on base for Eric Patter-

NEW YORK Jeremy
Hefner earned his first victory
in the majors, highlighting the
occasion by homering for his
first big league hit as the New
York Mets beat the Philadel-
phia Phillies 6-3 on a rainy
Tuesday night.
The 26-year-old rookie be-
came the first major league
pitcher to hit his first homer in
his first win since 2002, when
Dennis Tankersley did it with
San Diego, STATS LLC said.
Pinch-hitter Scott Hairston
had a two-run homer and
newcomer Omar Quintanilla
doubled twice and singled to
help New York win for the
fourth time in five games.
After a storm delay of 64 min-
utes in the eighth inning, the
Mets improved to 6-2 against
Philadelphia this year.
Braves 5, Cardinals 4
ATLANTA Dan Uggla hit
a three-run homer, Michael
Bourn also went deep and the
Braves snapped their longest
losing streak in more than two
years, holding off the Cardi-
nals after an eight-game skid.
Bourn led off the bottom of
the first with his fifth homer of
the season, tying a career
high. Uggla made it 4-0 in the
third, sending one into the
seats in left-center.
Randall Delgado (3-5)
worked into the sixth, allow-
ing three runs, and the Cardi-
nals closed within a run in the
seventh on Yadier Molinas
third RBI of the night, a run-
scoring single.
Molina went 4-for-4, in-
cluding a solo homer. But
Craig Kimbrel got the final
three outs for his 14th save in
15 chances.
Jake Westbook (4-4) took
the loss.
Marlins 3, Nationals
MIAMI Anibal Sanchez
allowed only an unearned run
in seven innings to remain
unbeaten in 19 starts against
Washington, and the Miami
Marlins beat the Nationals to
break the franchise record for
victories in a month.
The Marlins are 20-8 since
May 1, best in the majors, and
theyre six games above .500
for the first time since last
June 4.
Greg Dobbs, pinch-hitting
for Sanchez, drove in the run
that put Miami ahead to stay
with a sacrifice fly in the sev-
enth.
Hanley Ramirez hit his
eighth homer leading off the
eighth.
Sanchez (3-3) allowed only
three hits and one walk and
lowered his ERA to 2.56.
Edwin Jackson (1-3) allowed
only two runs, one earned, in
6
2
3 innings.
Cubs 5, Padres 3
CHICAGO Alfonso Sor-
iano homered, Jeff Samardzija
struck out eight in seven in-
nings and the Cubs beat the
Padres.
Soriano hit a solo homer to
center field in the sixth. After
going homerless in his first 30
games this season, Soriano
has seven home runs in his
last 13 games.
Samardzija (5-3) allowed
eight hits and was one strike-
out from tying his career high.
He departed after Will Ven-
ables RBI triple with no outs
in the eighth. Shawn Camp
kept the lead intact, getting
Carlos Quentin on a fly to left
to end the inning.
James Russell got the last
two outs for his first career
save.
Quentin homered and had
three hits for San Diego. His
drive on the first pitch of the
fifth was his first home run as
a Padre.
N AT I O N A L L E A G U E R O U N D U P
Hefner living
the life for Mets
BOSTON David Ortiz
homered and hit two doubles,
and the Boston Red Sox
moved above .500 for the first
time this season, tagging Jus-
tin Verlander for 10 hits in a
6-3 win over the Detroit Tigers
on Tuesday night.
Verlander (5-3) lost his sec-
ond straight start since taking
a no-hitter into the ninth in-
ning against Pittsburgh on
May 18. The reigning Amer-
ican League MVP and Cy
Young winner allowed five
runs on 10 hits, struck out
seven and walked one in six
innings.
Daniel Bard (5-5) pitched 5
1
3
innings for Boston, allowing
two runs on five hits with four
strikeouts and two walks.
White Sox 7, Rays 2
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
Philip Humber won for the
first time since throwing a
perfect game in April, helping
the Chicago White Sox extend
their winning streak to seven
games with a win over the
Tampa Bay Rays.
Hideki Matsui homered in
his Tampa Bay debut. The
Rays purchased the 2009
World Series MVPs contract
from Triple-A Durham before
the game.
Humber (2-2) was 0-2 with
an 8.22 ERA over six starts
since his gem against Seattle
on April 21. The right-hander
allowed two runs and five hits
over seven innings Tuesday.
Alexei Ramirez and Dayan
Viciedo both had two RBIs for
the White Sox, who have won
six in a row on the road.
Ramirez had an RBI double
during a five-run sixth against
James Shields (6-3) as Chicago
took a 6-2 lead. A.J. Pierzynski,
Viciedo and Orlando Hudson
hit run-scoring singles, while
Alejandro De Aza drove in a
run with a grounder.
Blue Jays 8, Orioles 6
TORONTO Brett Lawrie
had three hits and three RBI,
and Ricky Romero won for the
seventh time in nine starts
against Baltimore to lead To-
ronto.
Romero (6-1) improved to
7-1 with a 2.43 ERA in his past
nine starts against the Orioles.
Adam Jones hit two homers,
extending his hitting streak to
20 games, and Chris Davis
added a two-run drive in the
ninth but it wasnt enough for
Baltimore. The Orioles have
lost four straight and seven of
nine, but remain tied with
Tampa Bay atop the AL East.
Romero allowed four runs
and six hits in six innings to
win his second in five starts.
Jake Arrieta (2-6) gave up
seven runs, six earned, and six
hits in 4
1
3 innings.
Royals 8, Indians 2
CLEVELAND Mike
Moustakas had a career-best
four RBIs to help rookie Will
Smith get his first major
league win, leading Kansas
City over Cleveland.
Moustakas hit a two-run
homer off Justin Masterson
(2-4) in the first and singled in
two runs in the second.
That was more than enough
support for Smith (1-1), who
allowed two runs and four hits
in six innings. The left-hander
rebounded after being
thumped by the Yankees in his
debut last week.

NEWYORKAfter the worst
season in NBA history, the Char-
lotte Bobcats could use a player
such as Anthony Davis.
Unfortunately for Michael Jor-
dans team, its been a long time
since lottery luck shined on the
team needing it most.
The Bobcats hope that trend
ends today, when they have the
best odds of earning the No. 1
pick in next months draft.
Charlotte has a 25 percent
chance of victory, the reward for
its 7-59 record that was the low-
est winning percentage (.106) in
league history. Davis is the col-
lege player of the year after lead-
ing Kentucky to the national
championship. He is considered
the top prize available.
Not since 2004, when the Or-
lando Magic drafted Dwight Ho-
ward, has the team with the
worst record won the lottery.
Minnesota dropped a spot to sec-
ondlast year, whenthe Cleveland
Cavaliers moved up with a pick
owed to themby the Los Angeles
Clippers and took Rookie of the
Year Kyrie Irving.
The Bobcats, who dropped
their final 23 games, appear in
muchmoredirestraits thansome
teams that were able to recover
from their lottery letdowns.
You could make the case that
they dont have, at any position, a
top-15 player at their position. So
theyre not in the top half of start-
ers at any place on their roster,
which is a tough place to be and
thats why a guy like Anthony Da-
vis, if they do draft him, hes go-
ing to be expected to turn it
around. But there are no quick
fixes, former NBA coach and
current ESPN analyst Jeff Van
Gundy said Tuesday during a
conference call.
The Washington Wizards have
a 19.9 percent chance of picking
first, while Cleveland (13.8 per-
cent) and New Orleans (13.7)
have the next-best chances.
The lottery is backinNewYork
for the first time since1993, mov-
ing to the Disney/ABC Times
Square Studio from its longtime
home in Secaucus, N.J. because
the NBA Entertainment facility
there no longer houses a televi-
sion studio.
Maybe thats a good omen for
the Nets, who are also going from
New Jersey to New York. The
now Brooklyn Nets have a 7.5
percent chance of moving up
from the No. 6 spot to land the
top pick, and if they dont end up
in the top three their selection
goes to Portland as part of this
seasons Gerald Wallace trade.
The Nets are one of the recent
teams that came up empty after a
dismal season, settling for the
No. 3 pick two years ago after a
70-loss season. Though there are
occasional complaints about the
format, NBA Commissioner Da-
vid Stern has said theres been lit-
tle call to change it.
Van Gundy, like many, thinks
its awaytopoliceteams fromtry-
ing to lose in hopes of securing
the No. 1pickandevenarguedfor
dropping the weighted system
that gives the Bobcats 250 out of
1,000 chances, taking away even
more incentive to lose. Though
he said the team played hard, he
used the word tanking Tues-
day, essentially accusing Jordans
organization of not trying to win
this season.
Theyhave, I think, a verypoor
roster by design, he said. I
think they are trying to do what
most people in the front office
would agree with howtheyre do-
ing it. Get bad to try to get good.
People have done it before. San
Antonio Spurs, I think it was 18
wins when David Robinson was
hurt andtheygot TimDuncan(in
1997) and for 15 years theyve
been just phenomenal. So what
theyre doing I think goes to what
most people in the NBA would
do, but its by design.
The Cavaliers are hoping light-
ning strikes twice.
Last year, owner Dan Gilberts
15-year-old son, Nick, proved to
be a lucky charm when he repre-
sentedthe teamat the drawing in
New Jersey. The young Gilbert,
wearing hipster glasses and a
bow tie, endeared himself to Cle-
veland fans after the team won
the lottery by looking into the
camera and saying, Whats not
to like? a catchphrase that
helped the city get over the loss
of LeBron James.
The Cavs are sending Nick
again along with the same travel-
ing party that brought the team
luck a year ago.
His dad recently joked that his
son better bring home a winner.
If he doesnt get the first pick,
he will be grounded all summer,
Gilbert joked. This is a very im-
portant draft for us. We hope to
add some key pieces this sum-
mer.

DUBLIN, Ohio Bubba Wat-
sonhada 3-iron, a small audience
and a point to prove.
The flag was 251 yards away,
with a light wind out of the right.
Withanopenstance, he hit a high
cut and begged it to carry the
bunker, which it barely did. Next,
he aimedsome15yards tothe left
of thegreenandhit abullet witha
slight hook that landed on the
back corner of the green.
Still got it! Watson jokingly
proclaimed.
He hasnt forgotten how to
play. He hasnt been gone from
the game that long, though it
sure seems that way.
It has been just more than sev-
en weeks since Watson hit that
wildhookwitha wedge out of the
Georgia pines and onto the 10th
green to win the Masters in a
playoff. He became an overnight
sensation in a green jacket, and
then he virtually disappeared
from the golf scene. He has
played only one tournament
since, in New Orleans, and only
because he was the defending
champion.
The reminder of howlongWat-
son has stayed away from golf
came on the practice range Tues-
day at Muirfield Village. With the
U.S. Open only two weeks away,
players were still congratulating
him on winning the last major
two months ago.
Thats not necessarily a bad
thing.
Winning majors can be a life-
changing experience for every-
one except those who seem to
win them all the time. Few, how-
ever, had this many life-changing
moments away from golf as Wat-
son in such a short time.
He and his wife, Angie, adopt-
ed a baby boy just two weeks be-
fore he became a Masters cham-
pion. Theadoptionprocess is still
not finished, though a few
months doesnt seem like much
considering they began thinking
about adoption four years ago.
Watson is selling two houses and
trying to find a home in Orlando,
Fla. (The baby was born in Flor-
ida.)
Andif thats not enough, he has
organized Bubba Bash on Tues-
day night with some 10 Christian
bands to raise money for a hospi-
tal in Kenya. Typical of a guy
named Bubba, he has arranged
for Waffle House to provide the
backstage meals.
A lot of stuff going on in our
life, Watson said. A lot of posi-
tive things, nothing bad. But its
just different changes.
Perhaps it shouldnt be surpris-
ing that Watson replied to a fan
on Twitter on Friday during The
Players Championship that hes
not missing golf at all.
Youcanturnyour phone off or
lock down yourself at Isleworth
and nobody can get to you, and
just spend time with the family,
play golf whenI want to, Watson
said. Its been a good thing. Its
been relaxing, rewarding. Its
been fun.
The Memorial boasts a strong
field, as usual, with defending
champion Steve Stricker, Tiger
Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory
McIlroy and Hunter Mahan lead-
ing the list of top players. Dustin
Johnson returns from a back in-
jury, his first tournament since
Doral the second week of March.
Watson adds another layer of
intrigue, mainly because he is a
major champion who has accu-
mulated more rust than riches in
the last two months.
His agent, Jens Beck, said in-
terest in Watson has been unre-
lenting since the Masters: offers
for endorsements and too many
interview requests.
For us, it hasnt stopped,
Beck said. For him, the biggest
change in his life has been with
the baby. I dont think people tru-
ly get that. It was a huge life
change for him.
Watson still faces a long year
with three more majors, the Fe-
dEx Cup playoffs and the Ryder
Cup. The season has become
longer in golf, and the trick is to
stay fresh for the most important
stretches. No one has mastered
that better than Woods over the
years.
Just more than two weeks ago,
Watson tweeted that he didnt
miss golf. So he might be rusty
now, but at least hes ready to
play. The Memorial is the start of
three tournaments in the next
month, endingwiththe Travelers
Championship, where he wonhis
first PGA Tour event.

Bubba Watson is playing in the Memorial this weekend, just his
second tournament since winning the Masters in April.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. Two
doctors came up with different
opinions on the mental state of
former Notre Dame assistant
football coach Corwin Brown,
whoisaccusedof strikinghiswife
and holding her hostage in a sev-
en-hour standoff, a judge said
Tuesday.
Brownsfamilyhassaidtheybe-
lieve his actions last August may
stem from brain trauma he suf-
fered when he was an NFLdefen-
sive back. Brown, 42, played col-
lege football at Michigan and
spent eight seasons inthe NFLas
a defensive back with the Patri-
ots, Jets and Lions.
Reports by a psychiatrist and a
psychologist came back with a
split of opinion, St. Joseph
County Judge Jane Woodward
Miller said during a brief court
hearing Tuesday morning. The
reportsbyGeorgeParker, anasso-
ciate professor of clinical psychia-
try at the Indiana University
School of Medicine, and Warren
Sibilla, a South Bend psycholo-
gist, were in sealed envelopes in
the court file.
St. Joseph Prosecutors Office
spokeswoman Lora Bentley said
such court-ordered reports are al-
ways sealed until or unless
theyre used at a hearing or a
trial.

tents of the reports, other than to
say the twodoctors came upwith
different conclusions. Chief Dep-

clined to comment.

MINNEAPOLIS A law-
suit filed against the NFL
Players Association by reti-
rees was dismissed Tuesday
by a federal judge, who said
shes empathetic to their
concerns but ruled they had
no legal right to hundreds of
millions of dollars in addi-
tional post-career benefits
theyclaimedtheylost during
lockout talks last year.
U.S. District Judge Susan
Richard Nelson issued her
order from St. Paul, Minn.
Pro Football Hall of Fame
defensive end Carl Eller, a
former Minnesota Vikings
star, was the lead plaintiff in
the complaint that argued
current players and their at-
torneys had no right to bar-
gain with NFL owners about
retiree benefits because they
werent legally a union last
summer.
Michael Hausfeld, the lead
lawyer for the retired play-
ers, said his group plans to
appeal Nelsons decision to
the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals in St. Louis.
Inaninterviewfromhis of-
fice in Washington, Hausfeld
called Nelsons findings elu-
cidating and disappointing
overall. There were several
dozen ex-players, many of
them Hall of Famers, on the
lawsuit who felt they were
cheated by the current play-
ers. They estimated between
$300 million and $500 mil-
lion in additional benefits
they were promised in the
early stages of collective bar-
gaining agreement talks and
didnt get when the labor dis-
pute was settled last sum-
mer.
They contended they were
pushedout of negotiations to
streamline the mediation
process despite a court order
for their inclusion. Those la-
bor talks led to the new CBA
between the owners and
players and saved the 2011
season.
The lawsuit named
NFLPA boss DeMaurice
Smith, New England quar-
terback Tom Brady and for-
mer Patriots linebacker Mike
Vrabel. Brady and Vrabel
were plaintiffs on the anti-
trust lawsuit filed by the cur-
rent players against the NFL
in March before the lockout.
The unions response to
the complaint was filed un-
der seal, and the NFLPA has
declined to comment on the
case.
The decision says it is
clear that the active players
took advantage of the reti-
rees situations to benefit
themselves, and thats just a
classical incident or conse-
quence of the fact that they
held all the marbles, Haus-
feld said. Thats a sad com-
mentary on the functioning
of the union, and its an even
sadder commentary on the
richest pro sport in the coun-
try.
Nelson wrote that she ac-
cepted the factual allega-
tions by the Eller class as
true but disagreed that the
current players acted illegal-
ly. She ruled that since the
active players were negotiat-
ing their own contract with
the league, they had no obli-
gation to take a smaller
share of the pie for them-
selves inorder togivethere-
tirees a bigger slice.

Judge dismisses
retirees lawsuit
Former players had filed

AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON It took 23
witnesses over19days of testimo-
ny for prosecutors to make their
caseagainst Roger Clemens, with
three jurors andtwominor pieces
of the indictment dismissed by
thetimetheyweredone. Withthe
overlong-running trial now in its
seventh week and Clemens law-
yers starting to take their turn,
the case remains centered on the
credibility of one person Brian
McNamee.
The government rested Tues-
day in the perjury trial of the sev-
en-time Cy Young Award winner,
wrapping up with a witness from
Wall Street and two fromthe FBI.
Two invoked the name of McNa-
mee, the longtime Clemens
strength coach who says he in-
jected the ex-pitcher with ste-
roids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and
with human growth hormone in
2000.
The defense is expectedtotake
about two weeks to call its wit-
nesses. The trial has already ex-
ceeded the original estimate of
four to six weeks stated by the
judgeat thestart of juryselection.
Clemens is charged with two
counts of perjury, three counts of
making false statements and one
count of obstruction of Congress.
All relate to his testimony at a
hearing in February 2008 and his
deposition that preceded it.
The heart of the case is the alle-
gationthat Clemens liedwhenhe
saidhehadnever usedsteroids or
HGH, but the obstruction count
included15 statements, or acts,
in which Clemens is alleged to
have misled Congress on a varie-
ty of issues. U.S. District Judge
Reggie Walton dismissed two of
those acts Tuesday.
The first dismissed act dealt
with Clemens claim that he had
noidea that former Sen. George
Mitchell wanted to talk with him
inpreparationfor the2007Mitch-
ell Report on drugs in baseball.
The government couldnt prove
otherwisebecausesomeof its evi-
dencewas ruledinadmissibledue
torules over attorney-client privi-
lege.
Theseconddismissedact deals
with Clemens statement in his
2008 deposition that: I couldnt
tell you the first thing about
(HGH). The judge said that
statement could be misinterpret-
ed because it was asked in the
contest of whether Clemens had
ever doneanyresearchintoHGH.
Thirteen alleged misleading
statements remaininthecharges.
The government only needs to
prove one to gain a conviction for
obstruction of Congress.
Theres somethingthe trial def-
initely cant afford to keep losing:
jurors. Two have been dismissed
for sleeping during the proceed-
ings, anda thirdwas lost Tuesday
following the death of her moth-
er. Theres only one alternate left.
So Id ask everybody to stay
healthy and available, Walton
told the remaining 13. Many of
them smiled or laughed.
One of the governments final
witnesses was Anthony Corso,
oneof McNamees so-calledWall
Street clients who worked out
with the strength coach in Man-
hattan. Corso related a pair of
conversations meant toshowthat
McNamee didnt start making up
allegations and fabricating evi-
dence against Clemens to placate
federal investigators in 2007.
A key piece of evidence in the
trial is medical waste from an al-
leged 2001 steroids injection of
Clemens that McNamee said he
saved in a beer can and FedEx
box.
Corso, a large, blunt-spoken
New Yorker who works as a ma-
naging partner in a consulting
firm, recalled asking McNamee
around 2005 about a newspaper
story concerning performance-
enhancing drugs.
Im not going to get thrown
under the bus because Ive taken
care of it, Corso remembered
McNamee saying. He said he
had saved some syringes and
thrown them in a beer can, and
thrown them in a FedEx box.
Corsodidnt directlylinkClem-
ens to that statement, and fact re-
inforced by a question from a ju-
ror. That forced the government
to start reading Corsos grand ju-
ry testimony from two years ago,
when Corso quoted McNamee as
saying, I saved two syringes that
I used on Roger. Corso said he
now cant recall whether McNa-
mee used Clemens name in con-
nection with the syringes or not.

Former MLB pitcher Roger Clemens, center, arrives at federal
court in Washington, Tuesday for his perjury trial.
WEST ALLIS, Wis. Given
his familys checkered history in
the Indianapolis 500, Michael
Andretti understands better
than anybody why his son, Mar-
co, was sofrustratedduringSun-
days race.
And as a race car driver, An-
dretti knows theres only one
way for his son to get over a
growing sense of frustration at
Indy. Its something Michael
wasnt able to do himself as a
driver: Win it.
Youre still human, Michael
Andretti said Tuesday, during a
test session for the June15-16 In-
dyFest at the Milwaukee Mile.
And until it happens, hes going
to be that way. And once it hap-
pens, I thinkyoull see a different
person. Its just that way. I know
it was that way with me. You can
talk until youre blue in the face,
but that pressure andeverything
that you have there is just going
to be there.
Marco Andretti led 59 laps
Sunday, more than any other
driver. But he got shuffled back
in the field by an ill-timed cau-
tion flag after a pit stop. Then he
crashed on lap 188, ending his
day.
Before the crash, he spent the
afternoon venting frustration to
his crew on the radio.
He gets a little excited still,
said Michael, whose Andretti
Autosport team fields cars for
Marco. I think he felt that it was
slipping away.
It was the latest example of
rotten luck for a member of the
Andretti family at Indy, some-
thingmanyhave come tocall the
Andretti curse.
Marcos grandfather, Mario,
won it in1969 and never won
again in 24 more tries.
Michael led 431 laps in 16 ca-
reer starts but never won.
I was never able to do it as a
driver, but finally was able to do
it a couple times as an owner,
Michael Andretti said. Now I
know how Marcos feeling. I
know, better than anybody, how
Marcos feeling. AndI feel so bad
for him, because he had the car
to win. Bad luck, gets a vibra-
tion, comes in the pits one lap
early and the yellow comes out,
he loses a lapandhis race is ruin-
ed. That place, its frustrating.
Keep plugging along, keep push-
ing it. Were going to win it
soon.
Marco came close in his first
try, finishing second by a nose to
Sam Hornish Jr. in 2006. He has
led laps in five of his seven Indy
starts and finished third in 2008
and 2010.
Michael says his sons frustra-
tion might go beyond Indy. Mar-
co has two career wins in Indy-
Car. But given his talent, should
he have more?
I think the pressure is on him
to perform, and hes led so many
races and stuff but he hasnt got-
ten the job done enough, Mi-
chael Andretti said. I think hes
feeling that pressure more than
anything right now. Hes ready
to have that breakout. He just
needs to have that. Indy, for in-
stance. I know that if he would
have won Indy, he would have
followed up with three, four
wins in a row.
Michael Andretti said he
hasnt had to console his son,
who is focused on the IndyCar
series race in the Detroit area
this weekend.
I didnt really even see him
much, Andretti said. I mean,
you dont have to. Hes been
there long enough. Hes seen it
with me, and he just knows. His
focus is on Detroit.

Facebook stock falls 9.6%
Facebooks stock has fallen below
$30 for the first time since its much-
awaited public debut this month.
The stock fell $3.07, or 9.6 percent,
to close at $28.84 on Tuesday. Thats
down 24 percent since its public stock
debut. It went as low as $28.65 earlier
in the day.
Facebook Inc. began trading publicly
on May 18 after one of the most antici-
pated stock offerings in history.
Facebooks initial public offering of
stock priced at $38 and raised $16
billion for Facebook and some of its
early investors. It had valued the com-
pany at $104 billion.
Home price slide slows
An index of home prices in 20 Amer-
ican cities slumped in March compared
to a year earlier, but the slide was the
slowest since December 2010.
The S&P Case Shiller index of prop-
erty values fell 2.6 percent after falling
3.5 percent in February.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, how-
ever, the index rose from the month
before following a similar increase in
February the two-month streak
since a tax credit for homebuyers ex-
pired in spring 2010.
The data signal a potential turn-
around in the housing market, or at the
very least signs of stabilization, analy-
sts believe.
T&C minivan being cut
Chrysler Group LLC, the inventor of
the minivan, plans to discontinue the
Chrysler Town & Country minivan and
keep the Dodge Caravan as its only
minivan in 2014 and also plans to dis-
continue production of the Jeep Com-
pass.
The news about the minivan plans
was first reported by Automobile Mag-
azine in the July issue now hitting
newsstands and was confirmed by a
person familiar with Chryslers plans.
Swiss paying less than 0
Global investors are paying Swit-
zerland to take their money as they
look for safe places to park their cap-
ital.
The Swiss government issued short-
term debt bills worth 688.8 million
francs ($716 million) Tuesday at a
negative interest rate of 0.62 percent.
That means investors are paying to
lend money to Switzerland for three
months.

OS ANGELES High-end
outdoor clothier and gear mak-
er Patagonia Inc. is out to
prove that a company can generate
strong sales while being nearly fanat-
ical about environmental concerns.
The Ventura, Calif., company was
the first major clothier to make
fleece jackets out of recycled bottles.
Nearly a third of the power for its
headquarters and adjoining child-
care center comes from solar. And it
donates 1 percent of its sales to envi-
ronmental causes.
With Patagonia being a privately
held company, its finances are not
public, but it says its riding a growth
curve. It opened 14 new stores last
year, bringing to 88 its wholly owned
retail outlets throughout the world.
Executives said the company had
$540 million in sales in the 12
months that ended in April, an in-
crease of more than 30 percent over
the same period a year earlier.
Furthermore, they said, Patagonia
has doubled revenue and tripled
profit since 2008.
But is it fair to say that the envi-
ronmental dedication of the compa-
ny is a key to its claimed success?
Patagonia executives say yes.
Chief Executive Casey Sheahan
said customers were willing to pay
$25 for a T-shirt, $20 for wool socks
and $180 for a light jacket because
they knew Patagonia inflicted less
damage on the environment than
other clothing makers did.
And, he said, other companies are
catching on.
I think a lot of big companies are
doing things like this because its a
better way of doing business, he
said.
But analysts said Patagonias eco-
friendly philosophy was probably on-
ly one factor in the companys ability
to grow.
More important, said Richard
Jaffe, a retail and apparel analyst
with investment firm Stifel Nicolaus
&Co., is that Patagonia has a reputa-
tion for making products a cut above
much of the competition.
Patagonia may also be benefiting
from an overall increase in sales in
outdoor goods across the country.
During the recession, industry ex-
perts say, many Americans turned to
outdoor recreation as a cheaper al-
ternative to diversions such as for-
eign travel.
Even Patagonias founder and sole
owner, Yvon Chouinard, 73, said the
company was not likely to keep up its
current growth pace.

Outdoor retailer Patagonia stresses environment

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. The
stock market has recently been back
on a roller coaster, with the S&P 500
losing almost 4 percent in the past
month. That has made many workers
worried about their 401ks, IRAs and
other retirement accounts.
In Charles Schwabs latest nation-
wide quarterly retirement study,
younger workers are especially nerv-
ous: 29 percent of those between18 to
34 plan to pull money out of the mar-
ket, with only 11 percent of older
Americans saying they would do so.
Most of my friends arent thinking
about (investing) in stocks, said Dan
Tobias, 30, an associate financial plan-
ner in Plantation, Fla.
They dont have much spare cash to
invest in retirement or brokerage ac-
counts, he said. They also dont want
to risk losing what they do have while
they save for a wedding or a first
house, added Tobias.
Jenny Rothstein, a financial con-
sultant for Charles Schwab, suggested
that younger investors are becoming
more risk-averse as many have seen
their own parents retirement savings
take hard hits in the last four years.
They have experienced very vola-
tile times and not the boomtimes
of the 1990s when stocks rapidly
climbed in value, she said. But in the
past 10 years, the S&P 500 has in-
creased only about 2 percent.
Young workers also could want to
pull money out of their retirement ac-
counts because they want to buy a
house or need the money to pay bills
after losing their jobs, Rothstein add-
ed.
Stocks worry young workers

SEOUL, South Korea Samsung
Electronics Co., the worlds largest mak-
er of mobile phones, put its third-gener-
ation Galaxy S smartphone on sale Tues-
day in 28 European and Middle Eastern
countries, hopingtocement its leadover
Apples iPhone.
By the end of July, nearly 300 mobile
operators around the world will be sell-
ing the device.
Buyers of the new Galaxy S III in five
European countries will also be the first
to get their hands on Samsungs music
streaming service.
In Germany, France, Spain, Italy and
Britain, the Galaxy S III will be shipped
with access to the Music Hub an
iTunes-like service allowing users to lis-
ten to music as well as buy and store it.
Samsung said the service has a 19-mil-
lion song catalog.
At Vodafone Group, pre-sale orders for
the Galaxy S III outstripped those of any
previous Android-based smartphones,
according to Samsung.
WhileApplehas kept thescreensizeof
the iPhone the same in every upgrade
since 2007, Samsung increased the
screen size of its highest-end smart-
phone in its two major updates. The lat-
est Galaxy phone screen is nearly twice
as big as the iPhone screen.
The 4.8-inch S III also features more
computing power that supports voice
commands and an eye-movement track-
ing feature to keep the screen from dim-
ming.
Samsungs music service is a result of
its acquisition of mSpot Inc., a Palo Alto,
California-based provider of music and
movie streaming services on the Web
and mobile devices.
Samsung overtook Apple in smart-
phone sales for the first time in the first
three months of this year, according to
research firm Strategy Analytics. The
company sold 44.5 million smartphones
in the January-March quarter, compared
with Apples 35.1 million iPhone sales.

TASTE S E C T I O N C
timesleader.com
ROPA VIEJA is a storied Latin Amer-
ican dish. Its name literally translates
to old clothes, and its main ingre-
dient does have an uncanny resem-
blance to shredded or
tattered garments.
Originally traced back
to the Spanish Canary
Islands, it was
brought to the Anti-
lles, embraced, al-
tered and augmented
as it hopped from
island to island.
Served with rice and/or flour tortil-
las, it makes for an exciting and au-
thentic meal. Served with sauted
sweet plantains and black beans, you
have a popular mainstay in Cuba.
In my opinion, this dish is a great
example of the benefits of taking a
cost-effective cut of beef and elevating
it to a dish you may never have experi-
enced before. Most of us have dunked a
flank steak in a marinade for a few
days, slapped it on a grill and sliced
away. The texture of the flank was
something to contend with, to over-
come or hide.
Ropa Vieja does the exact opposite; it
highlights the texture of flank steak.
Once braised, the flank, due to its long,
fibrous muscle structure, comes apart
in long tender strands. These strands,
like pasta, capture and lock in the ac-
companying sauce.
This recipe changes value focus from
the protein (a value quickly declining
due to rising costs) and shifts it to the
chefs skills and talents. During the
past 20 years, the focus has been on the
ingredient (Kobe, USDA Prime, Angus,
etc.) The focus is now on the chefs
ability to identify, re-create and offer
wonderful and little-known culinary
delights that are only now coming to
light in the gastronomic realm.
At last, it really is all about us!

Ropa Vieja
elevates steak
with Latin flavor
DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Chef Jake Hizny prepared this Latin
American dish, Ropa Vieja, which got
its name because it looks like tattered
clothing.
See CORNER, Page 3C
When he was a little boy, Chef Jake
Hizny of Pittston remembers, his
grandmother introduced him to her
favorite recipes. She would hold my
hand and pour something into it and
tell me in Slovak thats a handful.
Then she would let him add the in-
gredient into the soup or whatever
she was making.
So it seems Hizny was long-des-
tined to become a chef.
But actually, he first prepared for
and worked in banking career. About
25 years ago, he switched to the culi-
nary arts, and very recently, he was
honored by the Professional Chefs of
Northeastern Pennsylvania chapter
of the American Culinary Federation

magine you had the time, the
money and the passport to travel
the world, visiting a wealth of
countries andsampling the foodand
drink.
It sounds like heaven, especially if
youre an adventurous diner.
But how many of us have the
weeks of vacation it would take to
visit a continent or two at a leisurely
pace? Howmany can spare the thou-
sands of dollars it would cost?
Before we resign ourselves to not
having the time or the lavish discre-
tionaryincome, heres a bit of consola-
tion. Its easy toobtainthe passport.
The Church of St. Jude in Wright
Township will host an International
Fest from4 to11p.m. Friday andSat-
urday, and with one $5 passport in
hand, you can sample German-style
bratwurst andsauerkraut, Irish-style
corned beef and cabbage and Italian-
style baked zi-
ti and penne
alla vodka.
Pork ala Criol-
la with beans
and rice repre-
sents Latin
America, and
pierogies and
kielbasa rep-
resent Poland.
Of course
were having
hot dogs and
hamburgers,
french fries
and potato
pancakes,
committee
member John Kotsko said.
For an additional $5 you get a
passport entitling you to sample
some international wines, among
them Chianti Classico, Primitivo
and Brachetto dAcqui from Italy,
Liebfraumilch, Rheinhessen and
Riesling from Germany, Chardon-
nay from Chile, Malbec from Argen-
tina and Rioja from Spain.
Beers, tobe soldby the pint andthe
pitcher, include Spaten, Harp, Smith-
wicks and Miller Lite as well as one
from Stegmaier and another import-
ed beer. And you can buy entire en-
trees. The passport samples are not
meant to be a meal, Kotsko said.
The event is a chance to share fel-
lowship and raise money for the par-
ish, he said, adding the church hopes
to host future international fests and
include foods from different coun-
tries.
One of the busy cooks this year is
Elena DeRojas Eichorn, who will
prepare the Pork ala Criolla with
beans and rice. Coincidentally, its a
dish she cooked last week for the
monthly Cuban night at Cava-
naughs GrilleinFairviewTownship,
where a Times Leader photographer
caught up with her.
Cavanaughs, incidentally, will
provide the Irishentre for St. Judes
event.
Meanwhile, if youd like to try
some ethnic cooking yourself at
home, Eichorn generously agreed to
share her recipe for the black beans,
or Frijoles Negros, that comple-
ments her pork dish.
This has always beenour familys
favorite, she said, explaining garlic,
cumin and peppers combine to give
it a wonderful flavor.
This heavenlydishis anindispens-
able accompaniment to many Cuban
foods, or a nutritious entre all by it-
self, she said. It can also be pureed
and served with croutons or avocado
slices as asoupfor atastyfirst course.
To please your own palate, she
suggests the home cook might add
salsa, diced tomatoes, wine or beer,
sherry, extra olive oil, more garlic or
onion, depending on what you like.
Elena DeRojas Eichorn cooked this family favorite for a recent Cuban Night at Cavanaughs Grille in Fairview Township
and will cook it again for St. Judes International Fest this weekend.

DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER
Chef Jake Hizny demonstrates how the braised flank steak in Ropa Vieja easily separates into
strands after its been slow-cooked.
ROPA VIEJA
2 ounces oil (10 percent olive
oil)
2 pounds beef flank steak
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon ground black pep-
per
1 yellow onion, julienned
1 red pepper, julienned
1 green pepper, julienned
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound stewed tomatoes
4 ounces dried green chilies
4 cups beef broth
1
4 cup capers
1
2 cup large pitted green olives,
sliced
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and
sliced
1
2 cup cilantro, julienned
Season the flank steak with salt
and pepper.
In a large saucepan over medi-
um-high heat, sear the flank steak
on both sides until nicely browned.
Set aside.
In the same pan, add the pep-
pers and onions and saut until
softened, about three minutes. Add
the garlic, oregano and cumin and
saut until fragrant, about one
minute. Add the tomatoes, chilies
and beef broth and bring to a
simmer.
Transfer the seared flank steak
and pepper mixture to a braising
pan, cover tightly and place in a
350-degree oven for at least two
hours, or until the meat pulls apart
easily.
Remove from oven and allow to
cool 15 minutes. Remove the flank
steak and, using a pair of tongs and
a serving fork, pull the meat apart.
It should come apart in long, slen-
der pieces, resembling linguine
pasta. Reserve.
Meanwhile over medium heat,
reduce the braising liquid until
slightly thickened and flavorful.
Reserve.
To serve, warm the meat in a
small amount of the braising liquid.
In a separate pan, heat the remain-
ing braising liquid with the capers
and sliced olives. Divide the meat
among four plates and cover with
the braising liquid. Garnish with
sliced jalapeos and fresh cilantro.
The dish can be served simply
with warm flour tortillas or over
rice.

pot, cover with water and soak
for at least eight hours. Make
sure the beans are always
covered with water.
1
2 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, peeled and
finely chopped
1 large green pepper, cored, seed-
ed, and finely chopped
6 garlic cloves, peeled and
minced
1 teaspoon salt
1
2 teaspoon black pepper
1
2 teaspoon cumin
1
2 teaspoon oregano
1 or 2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons white or red-wine
vinegar
Make sure you have about an
inch of water above the beans and
bring them to a boil. Cook the
beans until they are tender. Check
frequently to be sure there is water
above the beans. This may take
one hour or more.
While the beans are cooking,
warm the olive oil over medium
heat in a large, heavy skillet. Saut
the onions and green pepper until
the onions are translucent, about
three minutes. Stir in the garlic,
salt, pepper, cumin and oregano
and cook for about three more
minutes.
Remove this sofrito from the
heat and place half of it in the food
processor or blender. Add a large
ladleful of cooked beans and pulse
until pureed.
Stir the puree, the remaining
sofrito, the bay leaf, and sugar into
the beans. Continue cooking the
beans uncovered, at low heat, until
the cooking liquid has the consis-
tency of thick gravy. Stir frequently
so that the beans do not stick to
the bottom of the pot. You will
know when the beans are cooked
thoroughly.
Just before serving, remove the
bay leaves, stir in the vinegar, and
if desired, a little more olive oil,
which further enhances the flavor
and texture.

O N T H E W E B
Dear Abby: I do
online dating. For
safety, I use an alias.
I look much younger
than my 43 years,
so I went out with
a 29-year-old who
thinks Im 33. I have
horrible luck with relationships and
didnt think this one would be any
different. Boy, was I wrong! We have
been dating three weeks now.
How do I tell him Im 43, have two
kids he doesnt know about and a dif-
ferent name? Or should I just break it
off now?
Incognito in Mississippi
Dear Incognito: Do not just break
it off with no explanation. Tell the
man what you told me that you
have had such poor experiences with
online dating that you used an alias,
that you fudged about your age
and that you have children. If its a
turn-off for him, you need to know it
before you become more emotionally
involved.
P.S. Because many people on dat-
ing sites dont tell the whole truth,
its possible he not only wont be
shocked but will have a few things to
fess up about, too.
Dear Abby: My 37-year-old son,
Dave, has two children, a daughter
who is 18 and a son who is 10. Hes a
single parent.
Until she was 15, my granddaugh-
ter, Nicole, was the perfect child.
Then she started getting into trouble,
stopped going to school, ran away
repeatedly and caused our entire fam-
ily a great deal of stress. She was ar-
rested at 17 for credit card fraud and
was caught soliciting.
Dave has decided he never wants
to see Nicole again because of her ac-
tions. He has given me an ultimatum.
Either I have him in my life or I have
her, but not both. He doesnt even
want me to talk to her on the phone.
He says that Nicole killed a part of
him by doing everything she did,
and me talking to her would be like
talking to my sons murderer.
Please tell me what you think. I
understand how hurt my son is and
dont want to hurt him further, but I
dont think he should tell me what I
can do.
Florida Grandma
Dear Grandma: I agree with you.
Your son may have written Nicole off,
but he does not have the right to dic-
tate that you must do the same. You
may see and speak to whomever you
wish, and that includes the grand-
daughter you obviously love. How-
ever, by maintaining contact with
her, there may be a steep price to pay,
not only because it may estrange you
from your son, but also because your
granddaughter is deeply troubled.
Dear Abby: If youre walking down a
hallway with a full plate of hot food
and someone who is texting comes
around the corner and bumps into
you, sending your food to the floor,
who should clean up the mess? And
should the texter be obliged to re-
imburse the victim whose lunch was
lost?
Spill Survivor in San Francisco
Dear Spill Survivor: People who
perambulate are supposed to watch
where they are going. That the texter
didnt offer to reimburse you or at
least help clean up the mess shows a
distinct lack of class.
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Woman wants to come clean about her recent online dating subterfuge
To receive a collection of Abbys most memo-
rable and most frequently requested po-
ems and essays, send a business-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 Mor-
ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Its
mighty difficult to stay focused
when youre extremely bored
with the task at hand. Break it up
somehow. You need new
perspective.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). This
day seems specially designed to
shake up the assumption we all
fall into from time to time: that
power is located somewhere
other than within ourselves.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your
belief that things happen for
a reason will hold you in good
stead. You dont have to under-
stand the reason now or ever.
Just knowing that there is one
will give you power, the power of
faith and of acceptance.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Relationships are knitted togeth-
er with shared experiences, not
a shared point of view. You and
a loved one will each tell a dif-
ferent story about what happens
today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While some
jabber on and actually say very
little, your tendency will be to
pack so much information into
short correspondences that the
other person really ought to be
taking notes.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your
exceptional taste will be an
important part of the presenta-
tion you make to the world. If
you have to compromise on
these matters, you wont like the
end result. Persuade others to
do it your way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your
work is coming together, slowly
but surely. Consistent progress
will be better for you than get-
ting what you want all at once.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Youll
partner with people who are
needier than you, and youll self-
lessly give. This is not always
easy for you to do, but you know
that its the difficult acts that
build character.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Youll start off on a cheery
note, but sustaining that mood
will be a challenge. A forgotten
responsibility or some offhanded
remark will test your resolve.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You single-handedly could make
things better, but you may find
that theres not much fun in that.
When you pick a few friends to
work alongside, a task becomes
most pleasant.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Because philanthropy and social
conscience are second nature to
you, you forget that not every-
one possesses these qualities.
You may have to remind others
to be good to one another today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A cer-
tain person understands what
youve been trying to express.
Next, youll win this persons
support, too, which will make it
easier for you to move forward.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (May 30).
Junes developments keep you
on your toes. Theres a new
chapter unfolding, and a special
relationship reflects the change
in you. Through July, your per-
spective broadens and your
resources double. August and
November are the best months
financially. Youll reach expert
status in September. Cancer and
Sagittarius people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 50, 1,
24, 38 and 18.
