BUSINESS, 9B PHILADELPHIA — The way to compete in the casino indus- try doesn’t have much to do with the games themselves, but instead it’s the other attractions a venue offers. Whether it’s concerts, shop- ping, salons or golf, casinos need other amenities in addi- tion to slot machines and table games if Pennsylvania wants to remain the second biggest gam- ing state in the nation. That was an often-repeated message Tues- day at the eighth annual Penn- sylvania Gaming Congress held in Center City Philadelphia. “I don’t think I can stress enough the importance of a destination resort,” said Steven Geller, a former Florida legisla- tor who works in the gaming law practice group at Greenspoon Marder. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs President and General Manager Mike Bean said the addition of a hotel, salon and conference center later this year at the Plains Township casino al- ways has been in the plans, and he believes it will go a long way toward keeping the venue com- petitive and attractive to gam- blers and non-gamblers. Not only will it give guests more reason to come to the ca- sino, but it also will give them reason to stay longer and come from greater distances. “Convenience is the number one factor for people’s decision to game, followed by overall gaming experience,” Bean said.

But while the toasting is well earned, the cork popping might not last forever. While many in the casino in- dustry spent much of the Eighth Annual Pennsylvania Gaming Congress on Tuesday celebrat- ing the state’s meteoric rise from hosting zero casinos in 2005 to now boasting the sec- ond highest casino revenues in the nation behind only Nevada, they warned there will be more competition.

John Yudichak of Plymouth Township. Pittsburgh is not in Yu- dichak’s 14th S e n a t o r i a l District; in fact, the two areas are roughly 300 miles apart. The reception in honor of Yu- dichak was listed for Vallozzi’s Pittsburgh, 220 Fifth Ave., Pittsburgh. Contribution lev- els were listed as individual, at $500, and political action com- mittee at $1,000. A call to the committee in- quiring about the event, why it is being held in Pittsburgh and who would be on the invitation list was not returned. Sandy Ritz, representing the campaign committee of state Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, said she is not aware of any fundraising events held for Baker outside her district. “I do not know of any events held in cities like Pittsburgh or Phil- adelphia for Sen. Baker,” Ritz said. “I don’t know of any held outside of the 20th District.” Within five minutes after the call was made Monday from The Times Leader to the SDCC, a new email was sent and Yudichak’s event was listed as “postponed.” “We have events throughout Pennsylvania,” Yudichak said. “We’re blessed to have support- ers beyond the 14th District who reach out to try to help For campaign backing, Yudichak goes far beyond his district State senator from Luzerne County apparently finding fans in Pittsburgh.

Krystle Campbell was enjoying the race with her best friend, hoping to get a photo of the other woman’s boyfriend after he conquered the last mile. Then the unthinkable struck. The spirited 8-year-old with a wide grin who dressed up one Halloween as Woody from “Toy Story” was dead, along with the outgoing 29-year-old woman and a Boston University grad- uate student — victims of twin blasts that turned a scene of celebration into chaos.

Bombs that ripped through the crowd at the marathon a day earlier were fashioned out of pressure cookers and packed with metal pieces to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the investigation said Tuesday. Campbell Richard Investigators appeal for amateur videos of blast scene BOSTON — The bombs that ripped through the crowd at the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 170, were fash- ioned out of pressure cookers and packed with metal shards, nails and ball bearings to inflict maximum carnage, a person briefed on the in- vestigation said Tuesday. The details on the apparently crude but dead- ly explosives emerged as investigators appealed to the public for amateur video and photos that might yield clues to who carried out the attack. The chief FBI agent in Boston vowed “we will go to the ends of the Earth” to find those re- sponsible. A person who spoke on condition of anonym- ity because the investigation was still going on said the explosives were put in 6-liter kitchen pressure cookers, hidden in black duffel bags and left on the ground. They were packed with shrapnel, the person said. The person said law enforcement officials have some of the bomb components but do not yet know what was used to set off the explo- sives. A doctor treating the wounded appeared to corroborate the person’s account, saying one of the victims was maimed by what looked like ball bearings or BBs. Doctors also said they re- moved a host of sharp objects from the victims, including nails that were sticking out of one little girl’s body. At the White House, President Barack Obama said that the bombings were an act of terrorism but that investigators do not know if they were carried out by an international organization, a domestic group or a “malevolent individual.” He added: “The American people refuse to be terrorized.” Across the United States, fromWashington to Los Angeles, police stepped up security, moni- M O R E I N S I D E LOCAL RE- SPONSE: Se- curity hiked at Harveys Lake run 10A ANOTHER AT- TACK?

He also addressed the bor- ough’s consideration of partici- pation in the West Side Coun- cil of Governments. “Although there are cer- tainly benefits, there is also a potential cost,” he said. “We should step lightly as me move forward on this.” The council also discussed residents’ request to have gas lines extended to properties on Wood Street. “Although we will certainly help you in any way that we can,” said council President Carl Hodorowski, “we are not the gas company and we don’t own those lines.” Also, council tabled the is- sue of adjusting sewer fees af- ter a final payment on a sewer related loan. “We are going to look into the borough’s sewer mainte- nance costs, including any type of emergencies that might arise throughout the year,” said Hodorowski, “then we will come back to the issue and discuss numbers.” Council also named North- east Recycling Solutions as provider of its recycling ser- vices, citing cost effectiveness and quality of services. The borough previously used Ex- eter Borough’s recycling ser- vices. Hodorowski said some con- crete work would be needed near the borough building to prepare for the on-site recy- cling program probably be- ginning in May. He also an- nounced a general cleanup day for May 4, starting at 9 a.m. “All borough residents are encouraged to come and help in maintaining their borough,” he said, “it is a great opportu- nity to participate as a com- munity.” Newsroom 829-7242 [email protected] Circulation Jim McCabe – 829-5000 [email protected] Delivery Monday–Sunday $3.60 per week Mailed Subscriptions Monday–Sunday $6.92 per week via USPS Published daily by: Impressions Media 15 N.

Several groups including the West Pittston Rams are re- questing fee waivers. Board member Frank Casa- rella said he believed the groups should contribute something to the upkeep of the fields and facilities they use. Fees, as per district policy, stand at $300 for use of the gym, $500 for the use of the auditorium and $1,000 for use of the stadium. Board Vice President Dean- na Farrell said no freebies should be given out while the teachers remained without a contract. But board member Carl Yorina said the board found itself in a dilemma. “You have these wonderful facilities,” he said. “You want kids to use them.” “We should reconvene our policy committee and come up with something fair and eq- uitable,” Superintendent Ray Bernardi said. In another matter, the next negotiations on ending the three-year stalemate on a con- tact for district teachers will take place today. After the meeting, teacher union President Melissa Dol- man was less than hopeful about the talks’ chances. “With the upcoming election, things are a little slower,” she said. But Bernardi was more up- beat about finally reaching an agreement. “We’re always opti- mistic,” he said. In other matters: · The board discussed a plan to create a tax-exempt foun- dation similar to those which have been created by other districts. · Business Manager Tom Melone said the state has lowered the amount of excep- tions the district can claim in calculating the need for a tax increase. This will reduce the amount of possible tax in- creases the board can approve. YATESVILLE — For the sec- ond month in a row, the Pittston Area School Board on Tuesday voted down a motion intended to change the job function of current Primary Center prin- cipal and former high school principal Janet Donovan. The board opted 6-3 to re- frain from naming her the act- ing assistant superintendent and director of curriculum. Directors Kent Bratlee, John Donahue, Anthony Guariglia, Bruce Knick, Marilyn Starna and Charles Sciandra voted against the move, citing their preferences to act on the mat- ter after next year’s budget is in place. Joseph Kelly, Robert Linskey and Richard Gorzkowski voted in favor. Kelly repeated his comments from the March regular school board meeting that Donovan is sorely needed to aid Superin- tendent Michael Garzella. Kelly dismissed allegations from Guariglia that he had “a person- al interest” in the matter and argued the district has missed out on grant opportunities. Garzella, when pressed, said the grant funding that the dis- trict has applied for over the course of the school year has been “minimized.” Kelly also said he believes Donovan’s aid will be essential as the district grapples with the filling of several upcoming administrative vacancies and the possible closure of the Ben- jamin Franklin Kindergarten Center in Dupont. With regard to that facility, the board heard from Dupont Borough Council President Stanley Knick Jr. and Mayor Daniel Nello, who hope that the borough will have the first option to obtain the property and facility if the district opts to close the school. Dupont previously owned the property but transferred it to the Greater Pittston Area School District in 1983 when Dupont schools were absorbed into the district. The property was sold to the district, as a point of formality, for $2. Du- pont officials jokingly stated that they were willing to dou- ble that amount. The land transfer agreement also included a stipulation that the borough be given first con- sideration should the land be- come unneeded by the district. District officials probably will not make a decision before July but they pledged to keep Dupont officials informed. If the school is closed, Du- pont hopes to possibly convert the facility into senior citizen housing. The school board’s next meet- ing has been rescheduled from Tuesday May 21, to Thursday May 23, to avoid having a meet- ing fall on an election day. The budget for the new school year is the likely topic. Pittston Area rejects superintendent backup Minority of school directors wanted to promote principal Janet Donovan. By B.

By SUSAN DENNEY Times Leader Correspondent Courtdale decides not to use Larksville for police services By GERI GIBBONS Times Leader Correspondent LARKSVILLE — Council an- nounced Tuesday that it would consider a $27,000 proposal by Borton-Lawson Engineering to complete a report updating the borough’s Act 537 sewage man- agement plan. Councilman Robert Altavilla said former borough engineer Michael J. Pasonick has already completed about 90 percent of the report at a total cost of $30,000. “So what’s happening is that if we agree to this proposal, we’ll have to pay you an additional $27,000 to finish the final 10 percent of the report that we’ve already paid Pasonick $30,000 for, correct?” asked Altavilla. Representatives from Borton- Lawson stated that in order for them to complete the report, they would be required to vouch for the accuracy of the report in its entirety, which would entail reviewing and/or revising the entire plan. The report must be filed with the state’s Department of En- vironmental Protection for the borough to qualify for grant money to complete any pro- posed sewer project. Council Chairman Joe Ro- manoskey said the borough plans to contact Pasonick to see if perhaps it will complete the plan and save the borough con- siderable tax dollars. In other business: Borough resident and Wyo- ming Valley West School Board Member Jim Fender suggested to council that it form a joint committee with the school board to explore various op- tions to sell a 50-acre parcel along Route 11 in the borough currently owned by the school district. Fender said the land, which had previously been slated as the spot for the district’s new high school, would be prime real estate to attract a major retailer such as Walmart, We- gmans or Home Depot which would generate much-needed tax revenue and employment for the community.

Harveys Lake council hears floating islands project update HARVEYS LAKE — Dr. Fred Lubnow of Princeton Hydro on Tuesday updated borough council on the floating wetland islands project. Lubnow said he will be able to provide a map displaying the location of the islands, once the borough completes securing the permit for the project. He said the islands will be placed close to the shoreline, and he wants to see “everyone in the community comfortable” (regarding the locations). The project is being funded by a 319 Grant from the state Depart- ment of Environmental Protec- tion. Megan Sgarlat Prynn, vice chairperson of the Harveys Lake Environmental Advisory Coun- cil, announced details for the 2013 Harveys Lake Earth Day Cleanup project. The project will take place noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 21. Participants will gather and sign in at the Lake-Noxen Ele- mentary School, 135 Westpoint Ave. The event, which will be held rain or shine, has been or- ganized in cooperation with the Great American Cleanup of PA. Anyone interested in the cleanup may contact Megan at 570-814-9230 to register for the event or for further information. The planning commission meeting scheduled for today has been postponed until April 29 at 7 p.m. Plans for the cell- phone tower at Cliff Street will be discussed during the meet- ing. Mayor Clarence Hogan said residents should remove inop- erable vehicles and all rubbish from their properties. He said residents may call the police de- partment or visit the borough’s website for details on the bor- ough’s regulations regarding this matter.

LUZERNE — Police charged a man they allege sold counterfeit bars and coins of gold and silver, receiv- ing $12,655 from two buyers for the bogus metals. David Steele, 42, of Charles Street, was found hiding with 15 heroin packets in a large cabinet inside his residence on Friday, police said. Steele was taken to the Luzerne County Correction- al Facility, where police allege $330 was found hidden in his rectum. Police charged Steele with two counts of theft and one count each of resisting arrest, possession of a con- trolled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He is scheduled to be arraigned on April 25. According to the criminal com- plaint and search warrant: Johnathan Luckenbaugh and his brother, Justin, contacted police on Friday, saying they purchased more than $12,000 worth of gold and sil- ver coins and bars from Steele from January to April 11. The first pur- chase was made through a Craigs List advertisement with the remain- ing purchases conducted at Steele’s residence. Luckenbaugh and his brother be- came concerned when they noticed no serial numbers on the gold and silver bars. Police served a search warrant at Steele’s residence Friday night. Steele was seen looking out a WILKES-BARRE – After just under 10 minutes of deliberations Tuesday, a Lu- zerne County jury convicted a man who failed to appear for his trial on sexual assault charges. Clyde Tonkin, 30, of Main Street, Jenkins Township, was found guilty of seven charges relating to the sexual assault of a now-14-year-old girl in 2011, including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and statutory sexual assault. “I’m so relieved it’s over for my daughter and our family,” the teen’s mother, Jodi Miller, 38, said. “We look forward to when they haul him in and he gets sentenced.” Tonkin will be sentenced on July 16 on the assault charges and other unrelated charges. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison on the statu- tory sexual assault charge and 10 years maximum on several of the other charges. Tonkin was scheduled to stand trial Monday, but failed to appear at the Luzerne County Courthouse. Investi- gators say Tonkin cut off an ankle bracelet he was required to wear as part of his bail con- ditions and fled the area. Assistant District Attorney Nancy Violi asked that the trial be held in Tonkin’s ab- sence, a request Judge Joseph Sklarosky Jr. granted. A jury was selected and testimony began and con- cluded Tuesday. Tonkin was represented by attorney John Sobota. “(Cases like this) are never easy,” Exeter Sgt. Len Galli said. “The evidence against (Tonkin) was overwhelming and the jury was in and out.” Galli said investigators have been tracking Tonkin over the past few days and he is confident Tonkin will be ap- prehended. In a phone interview Tues- day, Tonkin’s mother, Chris- tine Uslin, of Ohio, said her son is innocent of the charges and that if he were guilty of rape she would not be stand- ing up for him. “I’m going to hire an attor- ney and file an appeal,” Uslin said. “I’mnot going to lose my son over someone who goes into court and lies.” Uslin said there is more to the story than prosecutors say. She said she does not know where her son is. The 14-year-old testified Tuesday she trusted Tonkin and even regarded him as a father-figure in her life – until, she said, he began sexually as- saulting her, even to the point where she became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl. “He rapedme,” the girl testi- fied in the first day of Tonkin’s trial while holding a stuffed bear. “Eventually, I stopped fighting him. I thought I was in love with him, but I was also still scared of him.” The girl was the first to testify at Tonkin’s trial, even though Tonkin was not pres- ent Tuesday. He had been re- leased from prison on bail in January. The girl said that in Novem- ber 2011, she discovered she was 28 weeks pregnant. She told Tonkin of the pregnancy, she testified, and Tonkin said the two would “go away.” Tonkin instructed the teen in February 2012 to write a letter that she was going to her father’s home in Louisi- ana. She took her mother’s bank card and the two drove WILKES-BARRE — Taxpayers might have to foot more of the bill to monitor the citywide camera system due an anticipated reduction in hours given to a private security firm, which means police officers would have to be assigned more frequently to staff the monitoring station. Trent Miller, president of Legion Security Services, said he expects the company’s contract will be significant- ly reduced starting next month due to a funding crunch caused by the Wilkes- Barre School District’s decision to nix a three-year, $270,000 contract with with Hawkeye Security Solutions, the nonprofit organization that oversees the camera operation. That will leave Hawkeye with two options: end around-the-clock moni- toring of the cameras, or staff the cen- ter with more police officers, Miller said. Greg Barrouk, vice president of Hawkeye’s board, said Hawkeye re- mains committed to providing con- tinuous monitoring. The loss of the school district contract reduced the monitoring budget from $15,000 to about $7,500 a month, so it will have no choice but to reduce Legion’s hours, he said. Currently the command center is staffed by combination of Legion guards and “light-duty” police officers who are recovering from work-related injuries. The goal has been to have one officer and one security guard on at all times. The funding problems mean the Legion guards will be removed from duty whenever a police officer is present, Barrouk said. “We are gong to have to stagger Le- gion around our light-duty police offi- cers,” he said. That also means the funding burden will shift from Hawkeye, which pays Legion through revenues it gets from the Wilkes-Barre Parking Authority and, previously, the school district, to the city, which pays officers from its general fund, Miller said. “As the cost to Hawkeye goes down, the cost to the city goes up,” Miller said. How big of an impact that would have on city finances is not imme- diately clear. The city is required to pay light-duty officers, regardless of whether they’re monitoring the cam- eras or performing some other func- tion. The situation becomes stickier if no officers are on light duty. Police would have to decide whether to take an of- ficer off the street in order to monitor the cameras if Hawkeye is not able to fund Legion guards. Under a settlement of a unfair labor practice grievance, the city is obli- gated to reserve two light-duty spots for officers to monitor the cameras whenever scheduling permits for that.

Building Bridges was formed when the public still believed Winstead’s death was a random act of vio- lence in a drive-by shooting. Investigators announced four months later that Winstead instead had accidentally been shot in the chest by his friend. In the Building Bridges ini- tiative, hundreds of commu- nity members met in groups over several months — with the aim of reducing violence among youth in Wilkes-Barre. They sought to identify the problems that lead to violence and the causes of those prob- lems, then brainstormed for solutions. “There would be no Build- ing Bridges had there been no death of Tyler Winstead. It was the catalyst that caused this community to sort of cry out and reach out,” said Walker. “We said … that we couldn’t necessarily respond with just a march and vigil … but that we had to try to build something sustainable and impactful.” The meeting attendees came together Tuesday to take the first step, Walker said. “On May 4, we are having an event at Kirby Park to address one of the things we learned, which is we need an opportu- nity to connect,” he said. “We heard it over and over and over again last year: ‘We don’t know each other, I don’t know my neighbor, we don’t have op- portunities to connect.’ What we thought is, that might be a good starting place.” Volunteers aren’t naive enough to believe the event will eradicate complex issues faced in the community, Walk- er said. “But it certainly can provide us, as community, an opportunity for each other and our families to connect, and to provide something of value to our area,” he said. Walker said he had asked community activist Darlene Duggins to organize the Com- munity Callout because of her eight years experience organiz- ing similar activities, such as community block parties that eventually grew and moved to Public Square in Wilkes-Barre. Duggins went over a long list of areas in which volun- teers would be needed. The event will feature activities for children of all ages, including a dunk tank, tug-of-war, dodge- ball, kickball and more orga- nized sports. There will be free food and refreshments. Price Chopper employee Connie George attended the meeting with store manager Robert Buraczewski and said many store employees are in- terested in volunteering. De- nise Thomas, an employee at GAR High School, said at least 50 students and 20 to 40 facul- ty members are committed to pitching in as well. Anyone who is interested in volunteering should attend a meeting at First Baptist Church next Thursday to sign up, or, if they can’t make the meeting, call the church to learn more and/or volunteer, Walker said. Shivaun O’Donnell, fundrais- ing coordinator for Building Bridges, told the group that it’s difficult for community groups to make a meaningful impact and accomplish change with- out money. For that reason, Building Bridges is planning a fundraiser in August — a golf tournament at Blue Ridge Trail Golf Course. Details on the tournament are pending, but O’Donnell said “community-oriented businesses that want to make a difference” will be needed as sponsors. App Up Your Business!

In other business Tuesday: • The authority agreed to seek proposals from financial institutions. Authority board member Douglas Ayers said he is not comfortable keeping $3.1 million in authority funds at the Dunmore-based First Na- tional Community Bank due to adverse publicity about some of its business practices. His au- thority colleagues agreed. • Authority member Adrian Merolli said the Mill Creek flood control project in Duryea and Moosic is ready to proceed. The project will prevent flood- ing in Avoca by creating a larger ponding area to hold water run- off, Urban said. • A solicitation for a levee fee collector also was discussed. The county is seeking propos- als from entities to handle this work, and O’Brien said all pro- posal responders should be asked to send representatives to authority meetings to answer questions. Representatives of the county treasurer’s office complained last year that the head of North- east Revenue Services, the cho- sen company, was permitted to elaborate on the company’s qualifications at an authority meeting. The treasurer’s office also had submitted a proposal. Continued from Page 3A LEVEE to Ohio, where a car Tonkin purchased had broken down. The girl said the two checked into a hotel and she began to have stomach pains. Thinking she was in labor or that there was a problem with the baby, Tonkin drove her to an Ohio hospital. After she was released from the hospital a short time later, police arrived at the hotel room where the couple was staying, and the girl was eventually re- turned to her mother in Penn- sylvania. The teen gave birth to her daughter a few days later. Galli testified he interviewed Tonkin shortly before Tonkin was arrested in June 2012 and that at first he denied having any inappropriate contact with the girl. Upon further discussion, Gal- li testified, Tonkin said it was the girl’s idea to go to Louisi- ana. Galli said Tonkin told him he did have sexual contact with her, but that it was never rape. Tonkin allegedly told Galli that he and the girl never “ did anything she didn’t want to do” and that he never forced her to have sex. The first time they had an en- counter, Tonkin allegedly told Galli, Tonkin was drunk and the girl initiated the sexual contact.

But the measure might change as both sides compete for support in one of the pivotal fights in the battle over curbing guns. The Senate continued debating a wide-ranging gun control bill Tuesday, with the focus on a background check compromise struck last week between Sens. Patrick Toomey, R-Pa., and Joe Manchin, D-W.Va. Manchin said the vote on that amendment was likely to be delayed to late in the week, a move that would give both sides more time to win over supporters. The two senators met Tuesday with wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Gif- fords and her husband, former astro- naut Mark Kelly, who have worked in recent months to bolster the gun con- trol drive and are trying to line up Sen- ate support for the effort. “They’re helping immensely just by being here and talking to our col- leagues,” Manchin said after their meeting. “We’re close but we sure need their help.” President Barack Obama, in an inter- view with NBC’s “Today” show, urged lawmakers to pay attention to public support for expanding background checks and remember the slayings of 26 schoolchildren and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Underscoring the bargaining under- way, the two sponsors seemed willing to consider a change to their deal that would exempt gun buyers from back- ground checks if they live hundreds of miles from licensed firearms dealers, said Senate aides and a lobbyist.

In a televised broadcast, Justice Minister Nestor Reverol accused the candidate, Henrique Capriles, of nu- merous crimes including insurrection and civil disobedience. Government officials have been alleging since Monday that Capriles is plotting a coup, and President-elect Nicolas Maduro announced that he was prohibiting an opposition march scheduled for today in the capital. PITTSBURGH Addiction coverage on way Thousands of state residents with drug and alcohol problems will be- come eligible for insurance coverage next year under the new health care overhaul, and experts say that will present opportunities and challenges. About 101,000 Pennsylvania residents receive treatment, and about 96,000 more are projected to be eligible next year, according to an As- sociated Press analysis of government data. As many as 873,000 people in the state need treatment for substance abuse. But the 5,381 beds at treatment fa- cilities are full, and that means newly eligible patients could have trouble getting treatment. HARRISBURG PSU suit to go forward A whistleblower and defamation lawsuit against Penn State will go forward, a judge ruled Tuesday, deny- ing the university’s request to have it dismissed. Former assistant football coach Mike McQueary sued the school in October, claiming he was portrayed as untruthful in statements made in 2011 by the university’s president after Jerry Sandusky’s arrest. Judge Thomas Gavin said Mc- Queary’s lawsuit makes sufficient claims of “outrageous conduct” on the part of the school to keep the case alive. He gave the school 20 days to re- spond to the lawsuit filed in October. WASHINGTON Obama, Mideast leaders meet President Barack Obama has held the first in a series of White House meetings with Mideast leaders. The White House says Obama and the crown prince of the Emirati capital of Abu Dhabi, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, discussed a range of regional issues during their private talks Tuesday. Among the issues discussed were Iran’s disputed nuclear program, the deadly civil war in Syria, and the continued threat of violent extremism. The United Arab Emirates is a major U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf and an important oil producer. Obama will meet next week with the leaders of Qatar and Jordan. The two countries, along with the UAE, are believed to be arming or training the rebel forces that are seeking to overthrow the Syrian government.

By ALAN FRAM Associated Press Senate plan offers citizenship in 13 years WASHINGTON — The U.S. immigration system would un- dergo dramatic changes under a bipartisan Senate bill that puts a new focus on prospective immi- grants’ merit and employment potential, while seeking to end illegal immigration once and for all by creating legal avenues for workers to come here. The bill would put the 11 mil- lion immigrants in the country illegally on a 13-year path to U.S. citizenship that would cost each $2,000 in fines plus additional fees, and would begin only after steps have been taken to secure the border, according to an out- line of the measure. The sweeping legislation also would remake the nation’s ineffi- cient legal immigration system, creating new immigration op- portunities for tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled workers, as well as a new “merit visa” aimed at bringing people with talents to the United States. Senators planned to formally introduce the bill Tuesday, but a planned press event including immigration advocates, busi- ness groups, religious leaders and others was delayed until later in the week because of the tragedy at the Boston Marathon. Employers would face tough new requirements to check the legal status of all work- ers. Billions of dollars would be poured into border security, and millions of people who’ve been waiting overseas for years, sometimes decades, in legal im- migration backlogs would see their cases speeded up. Overall, the changes represent the most dramatic overhaul to U.S. immigration law in more than a quarter-century, and Con- gress’ first major attempt to con- front the polarizing issue since bipartisan legislation in 2007 collapsed on the Senate floor. “The status quo is unsustain- able. The nation’s failure to fix its broken immigration system has created what is, in reality, de facto amnesty,” Sens. Chuck Schumer, D-New York, and John McCain, R-Ariz., leaders of the effort, wrote in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal Tuesday. “Our bill would estab- lish a tough but fair system for millions of people living in the shadows to come forward and settle their debt to society by ful- filling reasonable requirements to become law-abiding citizens.” Schumer and McCain were to meet with President Barack Obama on Tuesday to brief him on the legislation. It’s a top second-term priority for the president. Measure would overhaul the country’s current system in favor of merit-focused ideals. By ERICA WERNER Associated Press GOTHIC SETTING FOR THATCHER’S GOODBYE Two brothers who co-owned a west- ern Pennsylvania high-tech defense contracting firm championed by the late U.S. Rep John Murtha pleaded guilty to major fraud against the feder- al government and conspiring to avoid paying income taxes. William Kuchera, 58, and Ronald Kuchera, 51, each face 30 to 37 months in federal prison when they’re sen- tenced Oct. 7. Each will also wind up paying more than $1.5 million in fines, restitution and forfeitures stemming from the scheme involving Kuchera Defense Systems Inc. of Windber. Their company was paid $650,000 to produce high-tech defense components for an unmanned Humvee project meant to help groundtroops coordinate air cover and eliminate friendly-fire ca- sualties. Instead, the Kuchera brothers kept the money but produced nothing, while kicking back more than $200,000 to prime contractor, Coherent Systems International Inc. Coherent’s founder, Richard Ianieri, is serving five years’ probation for the scheme involving an $8.2 million contract obtained by a Murtha earmark. Murtha died of complications from gallbladder surgery in February 2010, 15 days before Ianieri pleaded guilty, was sentenced and agreed to cooperate in the Kuchera investigation. Federal prosecutors in Florida said Ianieri got the earmarked contract after hiring a lobbying firm that em- ployed Murtha’s brother. FedSpending. org, a website that tracks government money, reported that Kuchera De- fense Systems and Coherent had been awarded more than $50 million apiece in defense work since 2000. Murtha, in an April 2006 news release, said Coher- ent and Kuchera Defense Systems were working “virtually as one company” on $30 million worth of contracts he helped them land. Defense attorneys Stanton Levenson and J. Alan Johnson said they’ll ask for less than the prison sentence spelled out by federal guidelines, because they contend the Kucheras did a lot of good and are paying, financially, for their crimes.

By JOE MANDAK Associated Press Dozens killed when quake hits near Iran-Pakistan border TEHRAN, Iran — An earth- quake toppled homes and shops on both sides of the Iran-Pakistan border Tuesday, killing dozens of people and causing skyscrapers to sway in Dubai. It also forced Irani- an officials — for the second time in less than a week — to issue assurances that its main nuclear reactor wasn’t dam- aged. At least 34 people were killed in a single village in Pakistan, a military official said. But the overall death toll became clouded after conflict- ing reports from Iran. At first, Iran’s state-in Press TV said at least 40 people died — which would push the two-nation tally to 74. But it later retreated from its ac- count, and other Iranian out- lets stepped in with a far less dire picture. Despite the conflicting reports on the Iranian side, a Pakistani military official said at least 34 were killed on his side of the border and 80 were injured. Up to 1,000 mud homes were damaged, Paki- stan Television added. The military spoke on condition of anonymity in line with Paki- stan military policy. A Pakistani policeman, Azmatullah Regi, said nearly three dozen homes and shops collapsed in one village in the Mashkel area, which was the hardest hit by the quake. Res- cue workers pulled the bodies of a couple and their three children, ages 5 to 15, from the rubble of one house, he said. The Pakistani army ordered paramilitary troops to assist with rescue operations and provide medical treatment. Additional troops are being moved to the area, and army helicopters were mobilized to carry medical staff, tents, med- icine and other relief items. The discrepancies and ap- parent backtracking in the Iranian reports could not be immediately reconciled, but it was the second quake to hit Iran in less than week and au- thorities could be seeking to downplay casualties. Iranian officials assure that nation’s main nuclear reactor wasn’t damaged.

Each new campaign cycle brings more and more ex- pense.” The Pittsburgh event was postponed because a main orga- nizer had a death in the family, he said. It is expected to be re- scheduled for later this spring. Yudichak said he has about $200,000 in his campaign war chest. To run for the state Sen- ate seat in 2010, the total cost for the primary and general elec- tion was between $300,000 and $400,000, he said. Yudichak eas- ily defeated Wilkes-Barre Mayor Tom Leighton in the primary and cruised to victory in the general election over Republican Stephen A. Urban and Libertar- ian Betsy Summers. Yudichak said a fundraiser is being planned for the Philadel- phia area and another for Centre County. There were several fun- draising events held outside the 14th District when he ran for his first term in 2010, he said. “In the Senate, we deal with issues that have statewide im- pact,” he said. “Ultimately, we represent all of Pennsylvania in addition to our individual dis- tricts.” Asked who would attend a fundraiser for him in Pittsburgh, Yudichak said, “Democratic stalwarts” who want to see the Democratic caucus in Harris- burg continue to do well. “It’s a natural thing to do,” he said. “This is not out of the or- dinary.” The other fundraisers an- nounced by the SDCC were for state Sens. Vincent Hughes of Philadelphia, John Wozniak of Johnstown and Anthony H. Wil- liams of Philadelphia. Yudichak said he has received great support from the labor unions, noting they are located throughout the state. Steve Donaldson of Keystone Strategies, representing Yudi- chak, said the senator was sched- uled to be in Pittsburgh the day of the fundraiser and he was ap- proached by a donor in the area to see if he was willing to have a fundraiser before heading back. “The senator accepted the of- fer,” Donaldson said in an e-mail. “The fundraiser was postponed due to an unexpected schedul- ing conflict fromone of the hosts of the fundraiser.” Yudichak’s campaign is “always looking for ways to broaden the base of supporters throughout the state,” Donald- son said. The Citizens for John Yudichak campaign is actively planning fundraisers and engag- ing potential supporters for his upcoming election cycle next year, he said.

Edward Buratti April 15, 2013 E dward Buratti, 74, of Wilkes- Barre, passed away unex- pectedly Monday morning while driving his wife to a doctor’s ap- pointment on Interstate 81. He was born on Nov. 22, 1938 in Wilkes-Barre, a son of the late James and Ida Menichini Buratti. Ed was a graduate of GAR Memo- rial High School, Class of 1956. Prior to his retirement in 2001, he was employed for many years at the Penn Refrigeration Corp. in Hanover Township. Ed was a member of St. Andrew’s Parish, Parrish Street, Wilkes-Barre. He was an outstanding baseball player, playing catcher. Ed played for several local teams, including Mayflower and the locally famous Ashley A’s, who had the oppor- tunity to play in a championship game in Wichita, Kan. Recently, this team had a very memorable reunion. Ed was an avid fisherman, hav- ing caught many fish, but always threw them back — to the delight of his wife. He had many good friends, notably the Donut Shop Gang, as well as fishing buddies. He always had a smile and a good joke for his family and friends. Ed and his wife, Patricia Men- geringhausen Buratti, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Feb., 23, 2013. In addition to his wife, he is also survived by his children, Edward J. Buratti and his wife, Deborah, Hanover Township, Su- san Chapman and her husband, Neil, Douglasville, Ga., and Sha- ron Buratti and her partner, Fred Hopersberger, Mountain Top; grandchildren, Ryan and Jeff Bu- ratti, Lauren, Kendra and Dylan Chapman and Freddy Hopers- berger; brother, James Buratti, and his wife, Sandra, Springfield, Va.; aunt, Helen Menichini, New Jersey; nieces and nephews. Ed’s family thanks the Good Sa- maritans who helped Ed in front of his house as well as those that stopped and helped both Ed and Patricia on Interstate 81. Thanks are also given to the Ashley emer- gency responders and the Penn- sylvania State Police.

Teen wins open-records request for school data CHAMBERSBURG—A13-year- old girl has won an open records battle with Chambersburg Area School District, where officials questioned whether she was old enough to file a Right-to-KnowLaw request. The state Office of Open Records overruled the district Monday and upheld Savannah Gibson’s request for financial information involving its former after-school dance pro- gram. The program was run by a man who operates a similar program in which Gibson participates at Susquenita Middle School, which is in a separate district near Har- risburg, the Public Opinion news- paper reported. “It was worth all the stressful thinking and figuring out what to say,” Gibson told the Chambers- burg newspaper, referring to her two-month fight to obtain the re- cords. “It was worth it in the end. I’m glad I can get the paperwork.” The Chambersburg district re- jected Gibson’s request on grounds that it was unreasonably burden- somebecauseit duplicatedrequests by numerous other supporters of the dance instructor, who has sued the district in federal court alleging breach of contract, trademark in- fringement and other issues. In rejecting the request, the dis- trict noted that Gibson is a minor and reserved the right to make the case that she was too young to request public records — a point the open-records office explicitly rejected. It said the law defines a request- er only as a resident of the United States who files a request under the law. “Age is not a barrier to filing a request,” J. Chadwick Schnee, the agency’s assistant chief counsel, said in his ruling. Assistant Superintendent Eric Michael said Tuesday that the school district’s lawyers raised the issue to find out whether there’s an age limit. “We wanted to know what the parameters” are, he said. Schnee said his office encour- ages government agencies and re- questers to resolve their differences amicably instead of invoking the formal process established by the Right-to-Know Law. The Associated Press Pennsylvania has leapfrogged New Jersey, Connecticut, West Virginia, Delaware and New York, all Northeastern states that had some form of casino gaming before the opening of the Mohegan Sun Casino at Po- cono Downs in Plains Township as Pennsylvania’s first casino in 2006. But investments in fa- cilities in some states have been made, and other nearby states, including Maryland, Massachu- setts and Ohio, have taken a seat at the poker table. Bill Ryan, chairman of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, said all of those states “want the same thing. Keep their own residents from leav- ing the state.” He said residents from neigh- boring states crossing borders to gamble have aided Pennsylva- nia’s casinos. But as those neigh- boring states have begun legal- izing casinos, the border bleed has been stemmed somewhat. An example mentioned by mul- tiple panelists throughout the day’s event referenced Presque Isle Downs Casino near Erie as a prime example. Presque Isle Downs Casino, according to the latest revenue figures from March, continued to show declines as it faces new competition fromjust across the state line in Cleveland, Ohio, which saw a casino open last May. The Erie casino generated $1.3 million in gross revenue from table games last month, down 38 percent from $2.1 mil- lion during the same period the year before just prior to the Cleveland casino’s opening. But it’s not just Presque Isle that has or will see height- ened competition: * Located in Hanover, Md., the Maryland Live Casino introduced dealer- staffed table games earlier this month. One of three operating casinos in Maryland, the hotel/ casino reported $45 million in gross slots revenue in March. That ranks as the top casino in the entire Mid-Atlantic, more than $9 million higher than Pennsylvania’s top casino, Parx in Bucks County. Another pair of casinos is set to open over the next year in Maryland. * In Ohio, four casinos are operating in the state’s largest cities: Toledo, Cleveland, Cin- cinnati and Columbus. Each has opened since Ohio voters chose to legalize casinos in 2009. * Delaware, which is likely to be hurt the most by the one- two punch that Pennsylvania and Maryland have dealt it, has three racinos, meaning casinos operating at racetracks. There is also a poker room in Wilm- ington. * Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed legislation in 2011 that authorizes three casi- nos and a slots parlor. Hearings among the nearly one dozen ap- plicants have been ongoing and no licenses have been awarded to date. Some border casinos, such as Harrah’s in Chester, The Mead- ows near Pittsburgh, Presque Isle and The Rivers in Pitts- burgh, have seen revenues dip or become flat, and it’s these casinos that could be most af- fected by casino openings in Ohio and Maryland. Mike Bean, the president and general manager of Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, said he believes some casinos, includ- ing his, should be insulated from major revenue decreases because of casinos in other states. For a place like Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, he said the main drawing area is North- eastern Pennsylvania, so the aim has been to market the ca- sino locally and keep the area’s residents close to home.

Sean Sullivan, general man- ager at The Meadows Casino near Pittsburgh, already has a bowling alley and said the ca- sino is constructing a hotel and event center to help draw more guests. The Meadows, he said, wants to keep customers from going to other casinos in west- ern Pennsylvania or crossing over state lines into Ohio, West Virginia or even Maryland. When Mount Airy Casino Resort opened near Mount Pocono, it had a hotel and golf course in place. Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem construct- ed a hotel and convention cen- ter. And Valley Forge Casino Resort and the soon-to-open Lady Luck Casino at Nemaco- lin Woodlands Resort in south- western Pennsylvania also have hotels. Geller said though he and his family don’t gamble, they enjoy going to Las Vegas because of the attractions, including res- taurants, shows and other ame- nities. “You want the convention business, you want the tourism business,” he said. Matthew B. Levinson, the chairman of the New Jersey Casino Control Commission, said a key to seeing growth in revenues for casinos is on the amenity side. It’s a trend that’s been realized in Nevada and New Jersey, he said, and he expects that Pennsylvania will follow suit. One problem Geller and Levinson noted that Pennsyl- vania might have with contin- ued amenity investments is the high slot machine tax rate of 45 percent. Geller said casino op- erators might put more money into casinos in states with low- er tax rates — New Jersey for example has an eight percent tax rate — because the return on investment could be higher. “Forty-five percent is one of the highest in the nation,” Geller said. “That has to impact the amount people are willing to invest in the state.” Pennsylvania is the second- highest grossing gaming state in the nation trailing only Ne- vada. But other states are get- ting into the casino game and seeing huge revenues, includ- ing Maryland, Ohio and New York. Because of more attractive tax rates in other states, Geller cautioned that “Pennsylvania will have trouble staying num- ber two.” Mentioning the grandeur of Caesars Palace, Geller said something like that “could not exist with a 45 percent tax rate.” Continued from Page 1A CASINOS ANDREW M.

NATION OF ISRAEL CELEBRATES 65 YEARS AMANDA HRYCYNA/FOR THE TIMES LEADER WILKES-BARRE — City po- lice on Tuesday charged a man with throwing a rock through the windshield of a woman’s car, the same woman who accused him of raping her in 2011. A Luzerne County jury last June cleared Luis Perez, 30, of raping the woman inside her Sturdevent Street apartment. He was convicted of terroris- tic threats and simple assault for slamming her head off a floor and holding a knife to her throat, court records state. The woman obtained a pro- tection- from- abuse order against Perez after the 2011 assault, prohib- iting him from having any contact with her. Perez was sentenced by Judge Tina Polachek Gartley in July to three years probation upon the conviction of the lesser charges and ordered to stay away from the woman. According to the most recent criminal complaint: The woman told police Perez was seen running from her vehi- cle on Sturdevent Street on Jan. 26. When she went outside, she noticed the smashed windshield on her car and a rock inside. A replacement windshield cost $314, the complaint states. Perez, last known address as Nicoholson Street, Wilkes- Barre, was arraigned by Dis- trict Judge Thomas Sharkey on charges of retaliation against a victim, criminal mischief and violating a court order. He re- mained jailed at the county pris- on for lack of $2,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled on April 23 before District Judge Rick Cronauer. A hearing on the allege PFA viola- tion is scheduled on April 25 in county court.

By EDWARD LEWIS [email protected] Pa. highway plan calls for higher fuel tax HARRISBURG—Spending on Pennsylvania’s highways, bridges and mass transit sys- tems would get a big shot of new funding under a Senate plan unveiled Tuesday that would raise the money by in- creasing motorist fees and wholesale gas taxes — bump- ing prices at the pump as much as a quarter a gallon. The $2.5 billion plan by Sen- ate Transportation Commit- tee Chairman John Rafferty, R-Montgomery, is more ambi- tious and expensive than the proposal Gov. Tom Corbett advanced in January. The increase is nearly 50 percent of the $5.3 billion that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation currently spends on highways, bridges and transit. Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch estimated that Rafferty’s plan would cost the average motorist who drives 12,000 miles a year about $2.50 per week, or about $130 per year. Rafferty warned that the state’s bridges and highways are in dire need of repair, and contended that the plan would simply update taxes and fees to reflect inflation — after go- ing unchanged since at least the 1990s — while giving the state’s economy a big boost. “This is a sustainable fund- ing plan,” Rafferty told report- ers at a news conference where he was backed by dozens of supportive lawmakers and rep- resentatives of transportation- minded groups. “This is not a one-shot deal. This is a signifi- cant piece of change that will move Pennsylvania forward.” Business groups, engineer- ing firms, highway construc- tion companies, mass transit agencies and labor unions support it and key Senate Democrats support it, as well. However, it could face rough sledding in the more conserva- tive House of Representatives. One supporter, Sen. John Wozniak, D-Cambria, warned that the political will of law- makers to increase taxes and fees will disappear once the Legislature recesses for the summer and election-year pol- itics begin to set in. “After June 30, not gonna happen,” Wozniak said. Schoch, who stood next to Rafferty at the news confer- ence, said he had just begun to look at the plan and could not say whether he or the gover- nor would endorse it. The overall cost would be about $600 million more per year than the governor’s plan. About $1.9 billion a year would go toward highways and bridges. Another $500 million a year would go toward mass transit systems and about $115 million a year would be divvied up among airports, ports, rail freight and walking and biking routes. Proposal estimated to cost average motorist about $2.50 per week, or $130 per year.

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 N E W S PAGE 8A Momwas right after all WILKES-BARRE — About 75 Wilkes University students learned Tuesday that it’s OK to cut your cucumbers and stab your cherry tomatoes as long as your bread is on the left and drinks are on the right. And never risk eating cooked spinach because nothing could do more harm to a good job interview than green spinach stuck in your otherwise glisten- ing smile. And never slurp. The students — mostly se- niors and some juniors — gath- ered for a learning luncheon at the Marts Center on campus. Janine Becker, executive direc- tor of student services, gave a presentation on how to prepare and act at a job interview over lunch or dinner. The students learned how to behave, how to dress, how to converse and how to pass the salad dressing — always to your right and never help yourself first. “I’ll still be nervous when I go to an interview,” Jasmine Edwards, 24, a senior business administration major from Philadelphia, said. “But I will be much more confident. I learned how to eat correctly and it’s al- ways good to know proper eti- quette.” Becker told the students that it’s “never too early” to learn good etiquette. “The things your mom told you growing up, well, she was right,” Becker said. Students were told to intro- duce themselves when arriving at the table for lunch or dinner and use a firm handshake. “No wimpy handshakes,” she said. “No dead fish.” And use good eye contact, stand when a woman approach- es the table and use real words, no slang. “Yo is not a real word unless you’re a pirate,” Becker said.Si- lence and conceal cellphones, place your napkin on your lap and avoid topics such as poli- tics, religion and family drama, she said. Becker said don’t be the first to ask about salary, days off or vacations — that information will come later. Interviewers want to know about the inter- viewees. “You’re always being inter- viewed,” Becker said. “Don’t shove food in your mouth.” There are often several “more than qualified” applicants for a job, she said. “How do we de- cide who to hire?” she asked. “It often comes down to subjective things.” The dress code is always busi- ness professional and, Becker said, some personal things may not play well with the interview- er. “Let’s just say extensive pierc- ings aren’t your friends when looking for a job,” she said. Michael Tedeschi, 21, a senior computer information systems major from Long Island, N.Y., said he wasn’t familiar with many of the table procedures he learned today. “I always thought you passed everything to the left,” he said. “I’m prepared now, as long as I remember all this stuff.” Dominic Manzione, 21, a ju- nior entrepreneurship major from Honesdale, said he wants to open his own environmental business. He’s not sure if he will ever have to utilize the etiquette he learned Tuesday. “But the plan is to cut my hair before I graduate,” he said. “I’ll donate it to charity. If I ever in- terview in the corporate world, this information will help.” Kaitlyn Bevans, 22, a senior from Hazleton, wants to be a math teacher. She said she learned the proper way to carry herself at an interview. “I now know what to do and what not to do,” she said. And keep those elbows off the table.

Feds raid headquarters of Pilot Flying J chain NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said Tuesday the federal government has launched a criminal investiga- tion into rebates offered by the truck stop chain owned by his family, including his brother, Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. Agents from the FBI and In- ternal Revenue Service raided the Pilot Flying J headquarters in Knoxville on Monday. Jimmy Haslam, who is the CEO of Pilot Flying J, held a news conference in Knoxville to confirm the investigation is criminal, rather than civil, in nature. “We don’t know a lot. It ap- pears to be centered on a very insufficient number of cus- tomers and the application of rebates, that rebates that were owed to the customers were not paid. We of course disagree with that,” the CEO said. Haslam said subpoenas had been issued to several mem- bers of his 23-person sales force, though he said he was unable to identify any specifi- cally. Haslam said he had not been subpoenaed, and no one has been arrested. Bill Killian, the U.S. attorney in Knoxville, told The Associ- ated Press that four search war- rants have been served on Pi- lot, but the reasons have been sealed by a federal court. FBI and IRS agents locked down the Pilot Flying J head- quarters Monday afternoon and ordered most employees out of the building as they con- ducted their search well past midnight. Haslam said essential per- sonnel were allowed to remain in the building to ensure the company’s nearly 500 truck stops had sufficient fuel sup- plies. It was unclear why the IRS was involved in the raid, he said. “It does not involve, as best we can tell — and I’m pretty sure we’re right — any type of tax issue,” he said. “So there’s no evasion of tax or federal taxes, which candidly is what your suppliers, particularly fuel suppliers, worry about.” Haslam said that the com- pany is launching an internal investigation, and that his re- sponsibilities as owner of the Browns won’t be affected. He plans to travel to Cleveland this week and next as the team pre- pares for the NFL draft, he said. “First of all, I apologize, be- cause the last thing we ever want to do is put any kind of blemish on the city of Cleve- land — which we’ve grown to love —or the Browns,” he said. “So I personally feel bad about that, even though I don’t think we’ve done anything wrong.” Earlier Tuesday, the Repub- lican governor made an im- promptu visit to the press suite in the legislative office com- plex in Nashville to discuss the raid. He said that he had not been contacted by federal au- thorities and that he was going to concentrate on “being gov- ernor and doing things I can control.” Bill Haslam said he has not had an active day-to-day man- agement role in the company in 15 years. He defended keep- ing his unspecified holdings in the privately owned company outside of a blind trust he es- tablished for his other invest- ments after he was elected governor in 2010.

By ERIK SCHELZIG and ADRIAN SAINZ Associated Press EDITORIAL Wyoming Area taxpayer urges support for Stofko I n response to the letter to the editor from the Bonin political group, I’d like to say thank you for pointing things out to our Wyoming Area taxpayers. Thank you for pointing out the folly of the past elections where people formed a political group before the election was even held. Thank you for pointing out the necessity of electing an independent, no- political-history candidate. Most important, thank you for all but endorsing the candidacy of Jerry Stofko who fits your exact formula for an excel- lent member of the Wyoming Area Board of Education. No taxpayer can ignore the war record of Jerry and how he set aside his well be- ing to do the job America expected, and now supports him to do the job Wyoming Area taxpayers expects of him. After graduating from Wyoming Area, Jerry Stofko established a proven record of de- fending our country and is now stepping up to heed the call of our children. As a homeowner who believed that Wyoming Area had many excellent direc- tors over the district’s history, I can’t understand why a newly formed political group would refuse to be affliated with any of them. I understand the majority of the Bonin Political Group did not attend Wyoming Area; therefore, I can see how they missed many successful businessman, college professors, first- class educators and board members with great common sense who helped make Wyoming Area one of the best school districts in North- eastern Pennsylvania. I ask veterans, taxpayers and friends to give their votes and voice to Jerry Stofko in his bid for a seat on the Wyoming Area Board of Education. Vincent J. Holland Wyoming High School Graduate U.S. Army veteran and homeowner Writer says bill needed to keep religious freedom S upport H.R. 268 and use it to counter the God haters’ desperate attempts to defeat this critical bill that officially recognizes the importance of God in America. We, the people, support arch- bishop Nedd in his efforts to defeat the international cabal of atheists that will be traveling to Washington, D.C. to defeat this bill. We, the people, must preserve America’s religious heritage. The United States of America was founded by enlightened individuals who believed in God. Faith has played a critical and positive role in our nation’s growth and development, especially within the U.S. military. A vocal minority of bigoted and radical atheists wishes to deny the important role God plays in lives of our people by preventing military chaplains from pray- ing as they see fit. It is important to stand up for our brave men and women in uniform and allow them their right to worship God. U.S. Representative Walter B. Jones introduced House Resolution 268 in the 11th Congress, which explicitly allows military chaplains the freedom to pray in a public in a manner consistent with their own religious beliefs. Support the reintroduction of House Resolution 268 in the 113th Congress and to sign on as an official co-sponsor of this resolution in order to stop the radical atheist lobby from robbing members of the armed services of their God-given rights. Deliver your support of H.R. 268 to U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta. Norma Johnson Nanticoke Reader is solidly behind the right to bear arms S ince the dawn of man, there have been evil people who just seem to want to cause death and destruction. Maybe they suffer from mental illness, maybe they weren’t told often enough that they were loved while they were growing up or maybe they are just plain evil. Most people have heard of the state- ment “fighting fire with fire”. It is a right vs. wrong world out there. Too many good people have come face to face with these “not so good” people and have had to protect themselves and/or family from them. When it all started, these good people may have only had to sticks or rocks to protect against sticks or rocks. As time progressed, it became spears, knifes, swords, etc… You see where I’m going with this. When guns were invented, evil people definitely used them and the good needed to be on an even keel to protect them- selves. As laws increasingly regulated guns, the law-abiding citizen had to jump through more hoops just to defend them- selves. And with some of the unconstitu- tional laws being proposed these days, it will become more and more difficult to protect ourselves from the evil people on even ground. Now, I know the criminal element have to go through the same checks to get the guns they carry… Oh wait, no they don’t…. they actually get a gun illegally, possibly through some other bonehead who should have had the gun locked up and known better, or just out and out buy it illegally on the street. The Declaration of Independence states (in small part): We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happi- ness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That when- ever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. This portion may not reference specifi- cally about the right to bear arms, but is does say that if government becomes destructive to what is guaranteed; that is safety and happiness among others, Americans have the right to remove it and institute a new one. The Second Amendment to the Consti- tution guarantees that the right to bear arms “shall not be infringed.” If free Americans choose to protect themselves, no one can take away that God-given right. Dave Yurko Wilkes-Barre Handling of towing issue shames valley resident I used to be in the business years ago. If anyone wants to put someone down go to PennDOT and get all the qualifications needed to apply for licenses and what is needed to stay legal. Anything from towing to dealer to needed bonding to many other things needed to be in a legitimate business. I wouldn’t get involved but the elderly lady situation bothers me. Also the mayor bothers me on how he is handling this situation. Initially he said he was concerned about the other towing contract and how the city was sued. In my opinion, when this is all said and done, the other lawsuit is going to look like a flea on a dog. I think the fleas are totally infested on the mange. This is so ridiculous that this being allowed that I am totally ashamed to live in this valley. Tom Yancy Forty Fort Reader is all in favor of five-day mail delivery C ongress, for whatever reason shot down the proposed five-day postal delivery. All you hear is talk about Saturday deliv- eries. Who said it has to be Saturday as the day when mail isn’t delivered? Five-day delivery could mean any two days out of the week. Personally, Sunday would be one of them. And how about a Wednesday? Besides saving the USPS service a lot of money, it will save many gallons of gasoline. I suppose they had their reasons against Saturdays, but the carriers prob- ably would’ve liked it. John Mihalchik Sr. Ashley WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 PAgE 9A TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com S E RV I NG T HE P UB L I C T RUS T S I NC E 1 8 8 1 OUR OPINION: ONE VERY OLD OaK Let tree’s majesty outweigh money S AVE THE TREE. In a world where, by some estimates, an acre of rain forest is lost every second, this seems staggeringly simple. It’s win-win. Pardon the pun, but knowing the facts, who wouldn’t root for the tree? As staffer Mary Therese Bieb- el reported in Saturday’s edition of The Times Leader, a 75-foot- tall swamp white oak in Swoy- ersville is a healthy and rare bit of living history, surely born when Swoyersville was naught but swamp, and likely before Billy Penn showed up in 1682 to name a commonwealth after himself … and, not incidentally, after all the trees he saw. Yet this majestic survivor of some 300 years is threatened not by disease, disaster or disinter- est. It is threatened by a nearby house. An insurance company has deemed the mighty oak too seri- ous a risk to the house it shades. One branch in particular looms over the humble home, almost certainly constructed with wood from trees much younger and much inferior to the swamp oak itself. But the offending branch could be removed with the tree preserved, or other measures could surely be taken to keep both house and historic tree ful- ly intact. A tree expert has vol- unteered services; shame on the insurance company if it does not take advantage of such an offer. Indeed, it should compensate the man for his effort at reduc- ing insurance risk. This isn’t an act of epic or monumental importance. The rain forests will likely continue to be razed at an alarming rate regardles of this oak’s fate. But we don’t need to see the forest for the trees here, we just need to see the tree for what it is. If this tree could talk, it would need no intercession; the world would listen with rapt interest at what it witnessed and endured. But of course, it cannot speak. So it falls to all of us to, as Dr. Seuss’s Lorax said, to speak for the tree (just the one, this time, though it is quite real and not merely a metaphor). And the message is superbly simple, reminiscent of a certain sneaker company: Just save it. MaLLaRD FILLMORE DOONESBURY PRASHANT SHITUT President and CEO JOSEPH BUTKIEWICZ Vice President/Executive Editor Editorial Board Tragedy, terror at the finish line T HE BOSTON Mara- thon is a rite of spring in NewEngland, one of the great festive days of the year. Many’s the time we’ve gone up early for the Red Sox game and then walked over to Kenmore Square to watch the runners scoot or struggle past. The city is jammed with millions of happy people. That someone would wreak death on this event stretches the bounds of sick behavior — yet again. Witnesses inside the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel heard booms that sounded like thunder near the finish line. Crying, bleed- ing people fled the scene while emergency crews tended to vic- tims. There was blood on the ground near the finish line. At this writing, three people are dead and more than 140 in- jured — including some with lost limbs — after two bombs went off near the finish line. The ordnance suggests a possible terrorist attack. Who would do such a thing — and why — is still a mystery. We don’t know if the perpe- trators are foreign or domestic, but it is nonetheless hard not to think this country does need a higher level of mental health screening. Just four months af- ter the massacre of 20 children and six educators at a school in our state, it is sad and frustrat- ing to see another senseless at- tack in a neighboring state, at an event that draws countless Con- necticut runners and spectators. Now is the time to get en- gaged, as the people for whom Patriots Day is named did, and focus on security, on commu- nity and on individual freedom. Enough.

TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 N E W S PAGE 10A Letter containing deadly ricin sent to Miss. senator WASHINGTON — An enve- lope addressed to Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi tested positive Tuesday for ricin, a po- tentially fatal poison, congres- sional officials said, heightening concerns about terrorism a day after a bombing killed three and left more than 170 injured at the Boston Marathon. One senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, said authori- ties have a sus- pect in the fast- moving case, but she did not say if an ar- rest had been made. She added the let- ter was from an individual who frequently writes lawmakers. The FBI and U.S. Capitol Po- lice are both investigating. Terrance W. Gainer, the Sen- ate sergeant-at-arms, said in an emailed message to Senate of- fices that the envelope to Wick- er had no obviously suspicious outside markings, bore a post- mark of Memphis, Tenn., and lacked a return address. He added there was “no indica- tion that there are other suspect mailings,” but urged caution. The letter was discovered at a mail processing plant in Prince George’s County in suburban Maryland, said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. Wicker’s office issued a state- ment saying “any inquiries re- garding member security must be directed to the United States Capitol Police.” Capitol Police had no immedi- ate comment. But Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters of the letter, and other lawmakers said they had been provided information by the office of the Senate ser- geant-at-arms. Milt Leitenberg, a University of Maryland bioterrorism expert, said ricin is a poison derived from the same bean that makes castor oil. He said it must be in- gested to be fatal. “Luckily, this was discovered at the processing center off premises,” Durbin said. He said all mail to senators is “roasted, toasted, sliced and opened” be- fore it ever gets to them. One law enforcement official said evidence of ricin appeared on preliminary field tests of the letter, although such results are not deemed conclusive without further testing. The official spoke on condition of anonymity be- cause the investigation remains active. The discovery evoked memo- ries of the days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when mail laced with anthrax began appearing in post offices, news- rooms and congressional offices. That included letters sent to Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., who was Senate majority leader, and Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Two Senate office buildings were closed during that investigation. Overall, five people died and 17 others became ill. The FBI at- tributed the attack to a govern- ment scientist who committed suicide in 2008. More immediately, though, the discovery came as lawmakers were demanding answers to the attacks in Boston a day earlier. There was no evidence of a connection between the bomb- ings and the letter addressed to Wicker, a Mississippi Republi- can. Extra security planned at Harveys Lake race HARVEYS LAKE — The run will go on. A field of 500 runners with 500 to 600 spectators are ex- pected at Saturday’s Wilkes- Barre Racing Glen Summit Spring Water Run at Harveys Lake. Despite the horrific bomb blasts near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, there were no plans to cancel the Harveys Lake race, Wilkes-Barre Racing Executive Director Rich Pais said Tuesday. One thing runners and spectators will see is a height- ened police presence around the 8.2-mile course. “I have contacted the state police for assistance, and (po- lice) departments in the Back Mountain will be here to step up security,” said Harveys Lake Police Chief Charles Musial. Police canine units and paramedics also will be on hand. “We’ve never had any prob- lems at any of our races,” Pais said. “You worry about a copy- cat trying to do something goofy. We want to do every- thing we can to make sure our runners, athletes and their families are safe. This is what we have to do. You can never overreach when plan- ning security.” Musial and Pais are asking spectators to keep their bags and other personal belong- ings secured in their vehicles. Other races and outdoor events are being held with more security. According to The Associated Press: • Penn State’s police chief says his department is evalu- ating plans for Saturday’s spring football game and will improve security where needed. Chief Tyrone Parham on Tuesday didn’t divulge specific security measures related to the Blue-White intrasquad scrimmage at Beaver Stadium that cul- minates Penn State spring practice and other sporting events on campus, includ- ing the NCAA men’s gym- nastics championship Friday through Sunday. • Patrice Matamoros, ex- ecutive director of the Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon on May 5, said the marathon already was planning very tight security efforts, including periodic bomb sweeps, security of- ficers along the entire route and strict control over the start and finish lines. Organizers have been cog- nizant of security since it had its own bomb scare in 2010 when an unattended device that turned out to be a micro- wave was found near the fin- ish line. Personnel throughout the marathon route have been trained to get people to one of about 100 evacuation cen- ters if something should oc- cur, she said. Elsewhere, the Pennsylva- nia Emergency Management Agency did not increase its terrorism alert status on Tuesday, and state police have no plans to increase patrols at the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton International Air- port in Pittston Township or at the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Salem Township in the wake of the Boston explosions. Patrols were heightened at the airport and nuclear facil- ity after the terrorists attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. President Barack Obama ordered all U.S. flags to be lowered at all government buildings out of respect for the victims. Gov. Tom Corbett on Tues- day followed by asking that Pennsylvania flags be low- ered to half-staff at all state facilities. Police canine units are among the precautions for Saturday’s 8.2-mile run. By EDWARD LEWIS [email protected] wounds and abdominal lacera- tions. On Tuesday night, CNN was reporting on its website that the third fatality was a Chi- nese national Boston University grad student. Jeff Bauman Jr., a man pic- tured in an Associated Press photo being rushed from the scene Monday in a wheelchair, lost both legs. Rescuers took the 27-year-old to Boston Medical Center, where doctors had to amputate because of extensive vascular and bone damage. “Unfortunately my son was just in the wrong place at the wrong time,” his father, Jeff Bauman Sr., wrote in a Face- book post. The younger Bauman, who had been at the race to cheer on his girlfriend, had to have fur- ther surgery because of fluid in his abdomen. “I just can’t explain what’s wrong with people today, to do this to people,” the father wrote of the darkness that stained the race on Patriots’ Day. “I’m re- ally starting to lose faith in our country.” While mourning the dead Tuesday, friends and neighbors tried to focus on positive memo- ries of cherished ones whose deaths still seemed unreal to them. “I just can’t get a handle on it,” Jack Cunningham, a long- time friend of little Martin and his family, said. “In an instant, life changes.” Cunningham recalled how, as a pint-sized preschooler, the boy had insisted on getting out of his stroller during a 5K race in South Boston. As soon as his momlet himout to run with the rest of the family, Martin took off along the rainy race course. “He was just having a ball, splashing in every puddle,” Cun- ningham said. The boy’s father, Bill Richard, released a statement thanking friends, family and strangers for their support after his son’s death. Richard’s wife, Denise, and the couple’s 6-year-old daughter, Jane, suffered serious injuries in the blasts. Their older son, Hen- ry, wasn’t hurt. Two neighbors said Jane lost one of her legs in the attack. “My dear son, Martin, has died from injuries sustained in the attack on Boston,” Richard said. “My wife and daughter are both recovering from serious injuries. We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin.” U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, a family friend, said Martin and his family were trying to get over the race barriers and into the street after the first blast, when the second bomb struck. “They were looking in the crowd as the runners were com- ing to see if they could identify some of their friends when the bomb hit,” said Lynch, who has known the Richards for 25 years. Bill Richard, a runner and cy- cling enthusiast who had stayed out of the race because of an injury, had to have several ball bearings removed from his leg, Lynch said. On Tuesday, a candle burned on the stoop of the family’s single-family home in the city’s Dorchester section, and the word “Peace” was written in chalk on the front walkway. A child’s bicycle helmet lay over- turned near the front lawn. Wicker Discovery brings back memories of tainted letters received in the wake of 9/11. By DONNA CASSATA Associated Press Continued from Page 1A VICTIMS toring landmarks, government buildings, transit hubs and sporting events. Security was especially tight in Boston, with bomb-sniffing dogs checking Amtrak passengers’ luggage at South Station and transit police patrolling with rifles. “They can give me a cavity search right now and I’d be per- fectly happy,” said Daniel Wood, a video producer fromNewYork City who was waiting for a train. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said there was no evidence the bombings were part of a wider plot. But she said security was stepped up as a precaution. Similar pressure-cooker ex- plosives have been used in Af- ghanistan, India, Nepal and Pak- istan, according to a July 2010 intelligence report by the FBI and Homeland Security. Also, one of the three devices used in the May 2010 Times Square at- tempted bombing was a pressure cooker, the report said. “Placed carefully, such devices provide little or no indication of an impending attack,” the report said. The Pakistani Taliban, which claimed responsibility for the 2010 attempt in Times Square, has denied any role in the Bos- ton Marathon attack. The two bombs blew up about 10 seconds and around 100 yards apart Monday near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race, tearing off limbs, knocking people off their feet and leaving the streets stained with blood and strewn with broken glass. The dead in- cluded an 8-year-old boy. “We started grabbing tourni- quets and started tying legs. A lot of people amputated,” said Roupen Bastajian, a state troop- er from Smithfield, R.I., who had just finished the race when he heard the explosions. Gov. Deval Patrick said that contrary to earlier reports, no unexploded bombs were found. Federal investigators said no one had claimed responsibility for the bombings, which took place at the world’s best-known distance race, held every year on one of Boston’s biggest holidays, Patriots’ Day. “We will go to the ends of the Earth to identify the subject or subjects who are responsible for this despicable crime, and we will do everything we can to bring them to justice,” said Rich- ard DesLauriers, FBI agent in charge in Boston. He said investigators had re- ceived “voluminous tips” and were interviewing witnesses and analyzing the crime scene. Boston police and firefighter unions announced a $50,000 re- ward for information leading to arrests in the bombing. At a news conference, police and federal agents repeatedly ap- pealed for any video, audio and photos taken by marathon spec- tators, even images that people might not think are significant. “There has to be hundreds, if not thousands, of photos and videos” that might help investi- gators, state police Col. Timothy Alben said. Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said investigators also gathered a large number of surveillance tapes from busi- nesses in the area and intend to go through the videos frame by frame. “This is probably one of the most photographed areas in the country yesterday,” he said. FBI agents searched an apart- ment in the Boston suburb of Revere overnight, and investi- gators were seen leaving with brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag. But it was unclear whether the tenant had anything to do with the attack.

DALLAS — Pat Summerall, the deep-voiced NFL player-turned- broadcaster who spent half of his four decades calling sports famously paired with John Madden, died Tues- day. He was 82. Susie Wiles, Summerall’s daughter, said her father died in Dallas. “He was an extraordinary man and a wonderful father,” Wiles said. “I know he will be greatly missed.” Summerall was part of network television broadcasts for 16 Super Bowls. His last championship game was for Fox on Feb. 3, 2002, also his last game with longtime partner Mad- den. The popular duo worked togeth- er for 21 years, moving to Fox in 1994 after years as the lead team for CBS. At the end of their final broadcast together, Madden described Sum- merall as “a treasure” and the “spirit of the National Football League” in a tribute to the partner that comple- mented the former coach so well. “You are what the NFL is all about, what pro football is all about, and more important, what a man is all about and what a gentleman is all about,” Madden said. As former teammate and broadcast- er Frank Gifford put it in an accompa- nying video tribute: “America is very comfortable with Pat Summerall.” Summerall played 10 NFL seasons By STEPHEN HAWKINS AP Sports Writer See SUMMERALL, Page 7B AP FILE PHOTO Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, left, talks with CBS com- mentator Pat Summerall in Irving, Texas in 1994. Summerall, the NFL player-turned-broadcaster whose deep, resonant voice called games for more than 40 years, has died at the age of 82. A H L Kolarik has shot at being top scorer Chad Kolarik has a chance to do something no other Wilkes- Barre/Scranton Penguin has ever done. With two games left in the regular season, Kolarik is just three points away from be- ing the AHL’s leading scorer, trailing Rock- ford’s Brandon Pirri and Her- shey’s Jeff Taffe, who are both tied at 70. Kolarik’s 31 goals are two behind Syracuse’s Tyler Johnson and Matt Fraser of Tex- as for the league lead. No Penguin has ever led the AHL in scoring. The closest was Janne Pesonen, who finished fourth with 82 points in 2008- 2009. But now that the Penguins have locked up a playoff spot and the fifth seed is pretty much a given, there isn’t a whole lot to play for when the season winds down this weekend. But that doesn’t mean that Kolarik won’t get the ice time he needs to have a chance at lock- ing up the scoring title. “When you coach players with that type of talent you want to see them rewarded for their hard work,” said head coach John Hynes about how much ice time Kolarik will get this week- end. “It’s definitely something you take into consideration as a coach. It’s great for him and our organization if he has the oppor- tunity to win it, and it would be special in his career, so we’ll defi- nitely keep it in mind.” If some of the Penguins regu- lars do sit a bit this weekend, it’s not because Hynes is worried about keeping them healthy. He said it’s more important to make sure they’re sharp and game- ready when the playoffs roll around and that will determine how much ice time each player receives this weekend. “For some that might be two games, and some it just might be how we practice. It’s not about Penguin could be first player in team history to win league scoring title.

Yet across the U.S. and around the world, from West Bend, Wis., and Lon- don this weekend, to Nashville, Tenn., next week and Copenhagen next month, organizers of road races are trying to figure out how to improve security after the Boston Marathon bombings. Paris Marathon director Joel Laine, whose race was held earlier this month, put it this way Tuesday: “There will be a ‘before’ and ‘after-Boston’” from now on. Still, with thousands — and some- times hundreds of thousands — of spec- tators and entrants scattered along the route, there are limits to how much can be done to protect everyone, marathon officials, experts and runners cautioned. They spoke in dozens of interviews with the AP a day after a pair of bombs went off seconds apart near the finish line in Boston, killing three people, including an 8-year-old boy, and injuring more than 170 others. Two men in hazardous ma- terials suits put numbers on the shattered glass and debris as they investigate the scene at the first bomb- ing on Boylston Street in Boston Tuesday near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, a day after two blasts killed three and injured over 170 people.

PHILADELPHIA — Chip Kelly has three starting quarter- backs if his first practice was an indication. Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Dennis Dixon each took reps with the starting unit when the Philadelphia Eagles took the field Tuesday for the first time since Kelly replaced Andy Reid as the head coach. Which quarterback will line up under center when the Eagles play their first regular- season game in September? No one knows, including Kelly. “There wasn’t one set guy that just went with the ones the entire day,” Kelly said. “All those guys got an opportunity to roll through. “It’s April 16, so we’re not playing until next September. We’re going to use the full avail- able time for us to make a full evaluation of what it is. I think it fosters competition. I think those guys love competition. That’s why they’re in that posi- tion, and they know it.” The former Oregon coach compared his depth chart to a “seating chart.” He said it’s way too early to determine starters at several positions and this pre-draft camp is all about get- ting players familiar with his system. “I think our guys really un- derstand and I think everybody right now knows where they stand, and that’s a big thing for us,” he said. “There’s not a lot of gray area. It’s everybody knows we’re all going to get a lot of reps. We want to get film on tape so we can teach.

The most recognizable mem- ber of the Nittany Lions offen- sive line wanted to shed some light on his teammates. Return- ing starters like Donovan Smith and Miles Dieffenbach. Seniors stepping into starting roles like Ty Howle and Adam Gress. And more candidates like Eric Shrive and Angelo Mangiro. “There’s a difference between being on the inside of the foot- ball team as one of the players and being on the outside cov- ering it,” Urschel said in his usual polite and deliberate tone. “There’s a big information gap. I’d say this is one of the things.” What others might see as an issue — having to replace cen- ter Matt Stankiewitch and right tackle Mike Farrell — Urschel sees as a strength of the team headed into Saturday’s Blue- White Game. Barring any lingering injuries, the Lions’ first-team line will fea- ture, from left to right, Smith, Dieffenbach, Howle, Urschel and Gress. Urschel spoke at length about his admiration for Howle, a fifth- year senior stepping in for an Nittany Lions will conclude spring practice with Saturday’s Blue-White Game.

CLEVELAND — Mike Napoli hit a three-run double in Bos- ton’s seven-run second inning and the Red Sox, playing with heavy hearts one day after the deadly bombings back home, beat the Cleveland Indians 7-2 on Tuesday night. Boston’s players were already en route to Cleveland when they learned of the explosions near the Boston Marathon’s finish line that killed three and injured more than 170. The Red Sox were hoping to bring some relief to those affected by the tragedy, and they may have while win- ning their fourth straight. The series opener was also In- dians manager Terry Francona’s first game against the Red Sox, the teamhe led to two World Se- ries titles during eight seasons in Boston. Helped by five walks, the Red Sox scored seven runs in the second off Ubaldo Jimenez (0-2) and gave Felix Doubront (1-0) all the support he needed. Monday’s tragic events in Boston brought a somber tone to Francona’s reunion as well as to the Red Sox. Before the game, in a clubhouse devoid of its usual pregame sound and bustle, several players spoke of how a memorable Patriots Day win over Tampa Bay turned hor- rific. Orioles 5, Rays 4 BALTIMORE — Matt Wiet- ers homered, Nate McLouth scored twice, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the struggling Tampa Bay Rays despite allow- ing three home runs. Desmond Jennings homered on the game’s first pitch for Tampa Bay, and Kelly Johnson and Evan Longoria connected off Pedro Strop in the eighth. But the Rays could muster only six hits against Jake Arrieta (1- 2) and five relievers. White Sox 4, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Dayan Viciedo doubled home the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Chi- cago White Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays. INTERLEAGUE Yankees 4, Diamondbacks 2 NEW YORK — Robinson Cano paid tribute to Jackie Rob- inson in fitting fashion by hit- ting a three-run homer, and the New York Yankees beat the Ari- zona Diamondbacks on a night devoted to honoring victims of the Boston Marathon bombings. Cano, whose big league fa- ther Jose named him for Robin- son, connected on the day when all players, managers, coaches and umpires at Yankee Sta- dium wore No. 42 to salute the late Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer. Major League Baseball held Jackie Robinson Day on Monday, the anniversary of the date he broke the color barrier in 1947. The Yankees and Dia- mondbacks were off Monday.

N AT I o N A L L E A g u E R o u N D u P A M E R I c A N L E A g u E R o u N D u P Seven-run second inning powers Red Sox to victory The Associated Press The Associated Press Weary Mets falter in Colorado snow DENVER — Carlos Gonzalez homered and tripled, Todd Hel- ton hit a go-ahead single and the Colorado Rockies beat the New York Mets 8-4 in the opening game of a doubleheader Tues- day that was delayed 2 hours as 8 inches of snow was cleared off the field. One day after a spring storm postponed the first game of the series, the teams were sched- uled to play two in frigid condi- tions. The temperature at first pitch was 39 degrees and was expected to dip even lower for the nightcap — maybe even with more snow. David Wright homered twice for the Mets, finally back on the field after cold weather post- poned two straight games. Win- try conditions in Minneapolis on Sunday prompted their game against the Twins to be called off and rescheduled in August. Marlins 8, Nationals 2 MIAMI — Adeiny Hechavar- ria ended the Marlins’ nine- game home run drought with a three-run shot, and Miami beat the Washington Nationals. A throwing error by Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmer- man — his fourth in five games — preceded the homer and led to four unearned runs. The Marlins (3-11) began the game with the worst record in the majors but broke out of an offensive slump in the fourth in- ning with four runs, more than they had scored in all but one game. Hechavarria sent the Mar- lins Park home run sculpture swinging into action for the first time this season and ended a homer drought that had tied the 20-year-old franchise record. INTERLEAGUE Braves 6, Royals 3 ATLANTA—Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Dan Uggla homered in the eighth inning, and Juan Francisco hit a pair of solo shots earlier in the game to help the Atlanta Braves win their 10th straight with a victory over the Kansas City Royals. Atlanta’s 10-game winning streak is its longest since the club won 15 straight from April 15-May 2, 2000. The Braves are 12-1 and off to their best start since they began the 1994 sea- son 13-1. Eric O’Flaherty (3-0) allowed one hit and struck out two in a scoreless eighth for the win in relief. Heyward’s second homer, Up- ton’s eighth and Uggla’s third were solo shots off Kelvin Herre- ra (1-1), who gave up three hits, four runs and one walk in two- thirds of an inning. The Braves have outhomered opponents 25-7 and outscored opponents 68-25 for the best run differen- tial in the majors. Rangers 4, Cubs 2 CHICAGO — Derek Holland pitched seven shutout innings, Adrian Beltre hit a two-run home run, and Craig Gentry made a diving catch in the ninth to preserve the Texas Rangers’ win over the Chicago Cubs at a cold Wrigley Field. Holland (1-1) at one point retired nine straight against the Cubs, who have lost three straight games. The Rangers left-hander struck out six and al- lowed two hits. Beltre’s home run off Cubs reliever Shawn Camp was his second of the year and gave the Rangers a 4-0 lead in the eighth. Chicago starter Travis Wood (1- 1) walked Ian Kinsler and was then relieved by Camp, who al- lowed Elvis Andrus to single to right before throwing a pickoff attempt away, allowing Kinsler to score and make it 2-0.

WILCOX/THE TIMES LEADER Alysa Adams (13) of Lake Lehman scores a goal on Dallas goalie Allison Rismondo (29) while Deidre DeLuca (32) of Dallas looks on during Tuesday’s girls lacrosse game. Lacrosse growing in WVC, region Russ Kile never loses his pas- sion. The energy and sheer ex- citement could be detected in just a brief phone conversation. The Crestwood girls’ la- crosse head coach understands the situation, and that’s all right with him. “We are going to take some lumps,” said Kile, who directs the lacrosse program that’s in its first season. “I want to see the girls have fun. That’s the most important part. It’s going to take time. Let’s be honest, most of these girls have never even picked up a lacrosse stick. But you can see the excite- ment. We’re in a unique situa- tion where we are a first-year program. That’s pretty neat in itself.” Just one look around the Wy- oming Valley Conference, and you can see the growth. Each division, boys and girls, has seven teams – enough to warrant an automatic berth to the PIAA state bracket. Numbers seem to be good and on the upswing. “It’s going to keep growing as long as we can keep grow- ing the interest,” Lake-Lehman boys’ head coach T.J. LaBar said. “It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in just one year. You know the road in the state bracket is tough because teams like Lewisburg and Danville in District 4 have outstand- ing programs. But it’s great to see how far we’ve come as a league.” That seems to be the consen- sus among each coach. Growth. Positivity. An eye on the future. And first-year programs throughout the league are proof positive of that theory. Kile is more than a first-year coach. He’s a proud father as his daughter, Morgan, was one of the people who spearheaded the start of girls’ lacrosse as part of her senior program. Other programs, you hear similar stories. Take North Pocono. “It’s hard being a first-year program, but you take pride when you see little things come together,” head coach Robert Lamanna said. “La- crosse is a sport where you need good stick skills, and in our case, we have 44 kids that have little or no experience. We have three players that played in the Scranton Youth Lacrosse Association, but we are so young. And the schools in the league understand. They say that they’ve been in our situa- tion and keep telling us to hold our head high. I try my best to play everyone in every game because we want everyone to enjoy the experience.” There are rumors of the fu- ture. Rumors of howother schools could be joining in the near fu- ture. But for real growth, sus- tained numbers, Dallas boys’ head coach Rich Cohen points to one detail. “Youth programs,” he said. “We need to continue to grow our youth programs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to see how far we’ve come with the new programs. The automatic berth is great, and it’s nice to have that. Because we are so new, though, we are still struggling at that state level. But we need to grow the sport below in those youth levels. You need to generate that buzz and excite- ment there, so you can develop those high school programs. Like other feeder programs, you want to see these kids con- tinue to come through the sys- tem. We, the coaches and the parents, have to be involved in the entire process.” The ultimate goal? “You would love to see every team in the conference field la- crosse teams,” Dallas girls’ head coach Mary Beth Zardus said. “I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I hope to see that someday. A lot of the programs are self-funded, so that aspect is tough. It’s something that’s new. Lacrosse is new to our area. I played for King’s when I was in college, and it was just starting to break into the college scene. It’s great to see how far we’ve come at the high school level, but we still have a long way to go. We still have to form that sense of identity.” The Wyoming Seminary girls’ squad and Delaware Val- ley boys’ team are the two-time defending district champs.

The juniors in particular have made up the nucleus of the program since they were fresh- men and I believe their experience will pay off. We like to play an up tempo style, but our primary focus is on being a fundamentally sound and dis- ciplined program. I have been really happy with the energy and enthusiasm that the boys bring to the feld every day and I am looking for that to continue as we head into the hardest part of our schedule.” girLS LaCrOSSe COughLin Last year’s record:0-0 Years school has supported lacrosse: 1 Key newcomers: Kyra Castano, Kelsey Ga- briele, Paige Tedik, Caitlin Wood, Brigid Wood Season Outlook: In the program’s frst sea- son, the Crusaders are looking to start the foun- dation. Athletic talent certainly isn’t a problem as coach Colleen Wood can draw on players from her highly successful feld hockey team. It will take some time to transition to lacrosse, of course, but the path could be smoother com- pared to some other new teams because of the experience of both coach and players.

More importantly, that scored the game’s lone run as Scranton/Wilkes-Barre won its third straight game and fourth in its last six in a 1-0 win over Rochester on Tuesday night at Frontier Field. Chris Bootcheck (1-0) got the start for SWB and pitched a gem for the second straight time. He went six scoreless in- nings to extend his scoreless streak to begin the season to 11 frames. His last outing was also against Rochester, but was a no-deci- sion in SWB’s win. Bootcheck struck out five and walked three on Tues- day. He got in a jam in the third when the Red Wings loaded the bases with two outs, but the righty got out of it. In the game that started 20 minutes late due to weather, Mark Montgomery relieved Bootcheck throwing two score- less innings whiffing three and only giving up a leadoff single in the seventh. Cody Eppley pitched the ninth for his first save. Melky Mesa and Thomas Neal were each 2-for-4 for the RailRiders. Mesa hit the first triple in RailRider history when he blasted a shot with two outs in the top of the third. Notes: Neither team had a hit with runner in scoring position going a combined 0-for-16 as Rochester was 0-for-12…Each team’s manager and Rochester hitting coach Tim Doherty were ejected by home plate umpire Brad Myers… SWB outfielder Zoilo Almonte has his streak of reaching base safely stopped at 12 consecutive plate appear- ances when he grounded out in the third. He is still the Inter- national League leader in walks with 12. Wang to start Friday When the RailRiders return home on Friday to take on the Syracuse Chiefs after ending an eight-day road trip, right-hander Chien-Ming Wang will get the ball for his first start of the sea- son for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Wang, 33, has gone 61-32 with a 4.26 ERA over 130 big league appearances — 120 of them starts — with the Yankees and Nationals . His best season came with New York in 2006 when he led the American League in wins with a 19-6 record and a 3.63 ERA. Wang finished as the runner-up to Johan Santana for the Cy Young Award that year. The Yankees will make a move before Friday to create room for Wang on the RailRiders’ 25-man roster. The rest of SWB’s rotation will get bumped back a day on the weekend with Brett Mar- shall throwing on Saturday and Vidal Nuno going on Sunday. Wang signed a minor league deal with New York on March 22. He previously pitched for the SWB franchise in 2009 when he went 1-0 in two starts and tossed 13 scoreless innings. On TV Friday’s game will not only feature Wang pitching and postgame fireworks, it will be the first television broadcast by MyNetwork (WQMY).

N B A The Associated Press ATLANTA — DeMar DeRo- zan scored 30 points, Rudy Gay added 22 and the Toronto Rap- tors ran all over playoff-bound Atlanta, routing the Hawks 113- 96 Tuesday night. The Raptors made two-thirds of their shots in the first half, sprinting to a 68-51 lead as DeRozan scored 19 points and Gay chipped in with 17. Atlan- ta went mostly with backups, showing no sense of urgency to claim the No. 5 seed in the East- ern Conference. Atlanta fell into a tie with Chicago for the fifth spot. The teams finish the regular season on Wednesday, with the Hawks traveling to New York to face the Knicks, while the Bulls are home against lowly Washington. Chi- cago holds the tiebreaker. Kyle Korver led the Hawks with 13 points. DeRozan, Gay lead Raptors WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 PAgE 5B TIMES LEADER www.timesleader.com S P O R T S perienced and effective player like Stankiewitch. Howle was sidelined for the first half of the 2012 season with a torn pectoral but returned to split time with Dieffenbach at left guard. Urschel said Howle’s limited time in the public eye doesn’t hint at what he’s capable of. “For lack of a better way to put it, you guys have missed on this guy,” said Urschel, who came to Penn State along with Howle in the 2009 recruiting class. “He’s a good football player, and I’ve thought this since we got here. Honestly, when I got here, I thought Ty was the best offen- sive lineman in our year of the seven of us. “He’s a strong, tough football player with good fundamentals and plays on his feet. This is a guy who isn’t exactly blessed with great intangibles, maybe, like Donovan. He’s not a really tall guy, but he gets the job done. He’s a consistent player. You don’t see him missing a lot of days with injuries. He’s a tough, hard-working football player. I’m blessed to have him next to me.” Very strong praise, especially from an All-Big Ten selection like Urschel, who also called Howle “one of the most under- rated players on the team.” Though he saw time at guard last season, Howle has played center for most of his life. So there shouldn’t be any issues there. “I played center in high school and the first four years I was here,” Howle said. “And while I was injured, I still went to all the meetings, watched practice and helped out as much as I could. “I was in a sling for about a month and then I gradually started with push-ups. Then the incline and a little bit of weight. It’s been a gradual process.” Howle will be pushed by Man- giro, who has worked at both center and guard. Shrive has worked predominately at tackle this spring but has also spent plenty of time at guard in the past few seasons. Shrive, a celebrated recruit out of West Scranton who ar- rived along with Urschel, Howle and Gress, is hoping to push for a starting job in his fifth and final season for the Lions. “I’m much stronger than I’ve ever been, and that’s a credit to (strength coach Craig Fitzger- ald),” Shrive said. “Speaking for myself, I feel a lot stronger out there right now, and I think as you feel stronger, you feel more confident. “I’ve just got to keep working on technique and have a really good summer. Try to contribute any way possible.” PSU Continued from Page 1B sometimes the only way you can teach somebody is they’ve got to make a mistake. You can coach off of it. What did you see here? What was going on in your mind when you made this decision. Do you understand we have to make this decision, and our coverage dictates us going one way as op- posed to another way? You can talk about that all you want, but until they do it, that is the big- gest thing for us.” Vick had a breakout year in 2010, started for the NFC in the Pro Bowl, led the Eagles to an NFC East title and was The As- sociated Press Comeback Player of the Year. But he has missed 11 games because of injuries over the last three seasons, and is 10- 13 as a starter the last two years. The Eagles made a surprising decision to restructure Vick’s contract in February, and Kelly is giving him an opportunity to win the starting job. Kelly’s up-tempo offense was highly successful at Oregon and would seem to be a fit for Vick’s running style. But Kelly has in- sisted that he’s impressed with Foles’ skills, too. Foles is more of a traditional pocket passer. Dixon, who spent last season with the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens on their prac- tice squad, signed a two-year deal with the Eagles in February. The 28-year-old Dixon had a standout career at Oregon when Kelly was the team’s offensive coordinator. A fifth-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2008, Dixon has only started three NFL games in five seasons. “We’ll find a way no matter who our quarterbacks are to put a game plan in where they can be successful,” Kelly said. “Some- times there’s a misconception of what I’m looking for in a quar- terback. I’m looking for a quar- terback that can help us score points and win games. If we have to throw it 50 times, we’ll throw it 50 times.” Of course, the starting QB might be a rookie that the Eagles draft later this month. Philadel- phia holds the No. 4 pick and several draft experts predict Geno Smith will be the team’s pick. Smith threw for 4,205 yards and led the nation with 42 touchdown passes last season at West Virginia. Florida State’s EJ Manuel and Syracuse’s Ryan Nassib also are possibilities outside the first round.

Grabner scores 2 in Islanders’ win UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Mi- chael Grabner scored twice and Evgeni Nabokov made 26 saves as the New York Island- ers moved closer to a playoff berth with a 5-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tues- day night. Playing before a boisterous crowd at Nassau Coliseum, the Islanders earned their ninth time in 12 games while playing their final regular-season home game. The Islanders, 10-11-3 at home after starting 2-8-1, will begin a season-ending, five-game trip on Thursday in Toronto. With a 14-5-3 mark since March 1, the Islanders hold seventh place in the Eastern Conference. New York, seeing its first postseason appearance since 2007, has allowed two goals or fewer in nine straight games. Matt Moulson, Mark Streit and Radek Martinek also scored for the Islanders, who bounced back from a 1-0 overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. Capitals 5, Maple Leafs 1 WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin scored his NHL-lead- ing 28th goal, and the Wash- ington Capitals enjoyed a rare feeling of dominance outside their division, winning their eighth straight with a victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jack Hillen, Martin Erat, Troy Brouwer and Marcus Johansson also scored, and Braden Holtby made 29 saves for the Southeast Division- leading Capitals. The Capitals have moved into playoff position by feast- ing on the weak Southeast, going 14-3 within the division, but they entered Tuesday’s game just 9-14-2 against the rest of the Eastern Conference. All but two of those nine wins were by one goal. So it was a major morale boost that they were able to manhandle Toronto, which is closing in on the franchise’s first playoff berth since 2004. Flyers 4, Rangers 2 PHILADELPHIA — Brayden Schenn, Erik Gustafsson and Kimmo Timonen scored to give Philadelphia’s faint playoff hopes a boost, and the Flyers beat the New York Rangers for their second win in two nights. Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored for the Rang- ers, who have a tenuous hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Confer- ence. The Rangers have 46 points, five more than the Flyers. With five games left, the Flyers have three teams to pass to get above the postsea- son cutoff. Jakub Voracek added an empty-net goal in the final seconds to seal the victory for Philadelphia. New York’s Henrik Lun- dqvist was solid in net but two goals off the post doomed the Rangers. Senators 3, Hurricanes 2 OTTAWA — Craig Ander- son made 32 saves to help the Ottawa Senators beat the Carolina Hurricanes for their third straight win. Mika Zibanejad, Cory Conacher and Chris Neil all scored as Ottawa remained in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of the New York Islanders. Justin Faulk and Eric Staal scored for the Hurricanes, who got 31 saves from Justin Peters. The Senators returned to Ottawa from Boston amid tightened security measures a day after the bombings at the Boston marathon. Their game against the Bruins, postponed Monday, was rescheduled for April 28. Ottawa defenseman Jared Cowen played his first game since undergoing hip surgery in November that was expect- ed to end his season. Blues 2, Canucks 1 ST. LOUIS -- Jay Bouw- meester tied the score midway through the third period, and Andy McDonald and Alex Steen scored in the shootout to lead the Blues to a win over the Vancouver Canucks. Brian Elliott made 21 saves in regulation and stopped Derek Roy and Alexandre Burrows in the shootout, solidifying the Blues’ chances in a tight Western Conference race. Bowmeester’s goal was his first since joining the Blues in a trade-deadline deal. Alexander Edler scored on a power play late in the second period for Vancouver. Cory Schneider made 35 saves in regulation but surrendered two goals on three shootout chances. The Canucks played for the third time in four nights, all on the road.

All 380 EPL games will be televised live by NBC and its networks next season as part of a multiyear con- tract. White will be the lead play-by-play voice during coverage and Lowe will host the telecasts beginning Aug. 17. S O C C E R NEW YORK — NBC is all in with the English Premier League. The EPL feels the same way about the U.S. broadcaster. All 380 English Premier League games will be televised live by NBC and its networks next season as part of a three- year, $250 million contract. The deal comes at a time when Fox and ESPN also have heavy involvement in soccer. But the world’s most popular league in the world’s most popular sport will belong solely to NBC for the next three years. “Nowhere do they consume sports like they do here,” Pre- mier League CEO Richard Scu- damore said Tuesday. “We are not unhappy with our current broadcast partners (in the Unit- ed States), but I can see we are on the threshold of taking it to a new level.” The telecasts begin Aug. 17 and will be carried on NBC, NBC Sports Network, Telemundo, Mun2, other NBCtelevision prop- erties, and various digital outlets. NBC is scheduled to air 20 games, with 154 on NBC Sports Network; 76 of the telecasts will be in Spanish on Telemundo or Mun2; and 22 will be shown on other NBC Sports Group chan- nels. Windows for the national telecasts are 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. ET Saturdays on NBCSN, and 12:30 p.m. on NBC; 8 a.m. Sun- days on NBCSN and 11 a.m. on that channel and Telemundo; and 2:30 p.m. ET Mondays on NBCSN. In addition, NBC is making available free to all carriers of NBC Sports Network a pack- age of every EPL game played at 10 a.m. ET on Saturdays — the primary starting time in the Premier League. Called Premier League Extra Time, it is similar to DirecTV’s NFLSunday Ticket. “I can’t wait for Aug. 17 to come and we get started,” NBC Sports Group Chairman Mark Lazarus said. “It’s about making this one of the key pillars of our landscape.” Arlo White, who currently calls MLS games on NBCSN, will handle play by play from Eng- land. Former Premier League players Lee Dixon and Graeme Le Saux will handle analysis. Former England national team star Gary Lineker will be a spe- cial contributor. NBCSNplans 600 hours of orig- inal and weekly studio program- ming. Rebecca Lowe, a fixture on European soccer coverage in Eu- rope, will host a studio showfrom NBC’s international broadcast center in Stamford, Conn. But all game production will be done on-site in England, with NBC us- ing England-based announcers on games White doesn’t work. Lowe recognizes the challenge of appealing to not only the avid soccer and EPL fans, but to the casual viewers — and even to newcomers. “It’s a difficult balance,” she said. “We have been aware of that from Day 1. I’ve never really had to do that. “But I think Premier League fans in America are the most so- phisticated of football fans. Un- like back home, you have to seek out the games here — or you did until now.” NBC networks to televise EPL next season By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer 10+ Prime Commercial Acres w/200+ff on RT 315 & 500+ff on Fox Hill Rd.

In his second career, he became a voice so familiar to several generations of sports fans, not only those of the NFL. He started doing NFL games for CBS in 1964, and became a play-by-play guy 10 years later. He was also part of CBS’s cover- age of the PGA Tour, including the Masters from 1968-94, and the U.S. Open tennis tourna- ment. When CBS lost its NFL deal after the 1993 season, Summer- all switched to Fox to keep call- ing NFL games with Madden. He had hoped to keep working with CBS for other events like the Masters, but network exec- utives saw it otherwise. At the time, CBS Sports anchor Jim Nantz said he was “very sad- dened” that Summerall didn’t get to leave CBS under his own terms. “He is CBS Sports. I always thought he could work here un- til he was 75 or 80 years old,” Nantz told The Philadelphia Daily News then. “He’s been a much larger influence on my career than I think he realizes. There will be a piece of Pat Summerall on the air as long as I do golf for this network.” A recovering alcoholic, Sum- merall had a liver transplant in April 2004. The lifesaving sur- gery was necessary even after 12 years of sobriety. After an intervention involv- ing, among others, former NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle, former CBS Sports President Pe- ter Lund and former PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beaman, Summerall checked into the Betty Ford Clinic in April 1992. “I had no intention of quit- ting, I was having too good a time,” Summerall said in a 2000 Associated Press story. “The prescribed stay at Betty Ford is 28 days. They kept me 33 because I was so angry at the people who did the interven- tion, the first five days didn’t do me any good.” Summerall received the liver of a 13-year-old junior high foot- ball player from Arkansas who died unexpectedly from an an- eurysm. Summerall had an emo- tional meeting with the teen- ager’s family the following year. Summerall often shared his testimony with Christian groups and told his story when speak- ing before other organizations. In his 2006 book, “Summerall: On and Off The Air,” he frankly discussed his personal struggles and professional successes. Long before broadcasting Su- per Bowl games, 16 for televi- sion and 10 more for radio — in fact, before there was even a Su- per Bowl — Summerall played a role in what is known in foot- ball circles as “The Greatest Game Ever Played,” the 1958 NFL championship. SUMMERALL Continued from Page 1B g O L F N O T E S AP PHOTO Tiger Woods takes a drop on the 15th hole after his ball went into the water during the second round of the Masters golf tournament Friday in Augusta, Ga. Woods was assessed a two- stroke penalty because of the drop. AUGUSTA, Ga. — Rules officials from golf organiza- tions around the world work at the Masters, most of them assigned various parts of the golf course. But it remains the only major championship that doesn’t have a rules official walk with every group. Even more peculiar is that the Masters has the smallest field. With only 93 players this year, there were only 31 groups all four days — threesomes Thursday and Friday, and two- somes Saturday and Sunday for the 61 players who made the cut. Could that change in light of the ruling involving Tiger Woods? He took an incorrect drop on the 15th hole after hitting into the water in the second round. Fred Ridley, chairman of the competition committees, responded to a TV viewer call- ing in the violation and didn’t immediately recognize the mis- take based on video evidence. It was only after Woods said in an interview he dropped it 2 yards farther back did Ridley review the tape again. Woods was given a two-shot penalty, but not disqualified. Ridley invoked Rule 33-7, which gives the committee discretion not to disqualify. In this case, he felt Augusta erred by not pre- senting the evidence to Woods before he signed his card. Ridley would not say if the Masters would have officials will each group next year. That likely would be up to Masters chairman Billy Payne. “If there’s one thing about the Masters tournament … we look at everything,” Ridley said. “And do that with the competition, so we’ll be look- ing at this situation. What could we do in the future? Is there any different processes we could employ? We look at the entire competition every year and try to get better.” ROOKIE CHANGES: Mar- tin Kaymer is no longer eligible to win rookie of the year on the PGA Tour. The PGA Tour board voted at its last meeting to change the eligibility. Previously, a player’s rookie season was the year he became a member (including special temporary members) and played in at least 10 tournaments as a member. The new regulation states that new members — such as Kaymer — will not be eligible for the rookie of the year award if they had played in more than seven PGA Tour events as a pro in any previous season. “There have been cases throughout the years when a highly ranked, veteran player who has not been a PGA Tour member previously has been eligible for the award — a situ- ation that can be confusing for fans and seems to go against the spirit of the award,” the tour said in its newsletter to players. BEST WITHOUT A MAJOR: Lee Westwood can officially be considered the best player to have never won a major. Sergio Garcia is right behind. Westwood now has played 60 majors without winning, the most of anyone among active players. He has seven finishes in the top 3, including runner- up finishes in the Masters, British Open. He also missed a playoff by one shot in the 2008 U.S. Open and 2009 British Open. He tied for eighth in the Masters this year. Garcia has played in 58 majors without winning, and he has the distinction of the longest active streak of consecutive majors played at 55. Garcia lost the 2007 British Open in a playoff, and he was runner-up twice in the PGA Championship. He also tied for eighth at Augusta, despite a 66 in the first round for the outright lead. Both are closing in on Tom Kite, who played 63 majors as a pro before he won the 1992 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach when he was 42. USGA RETIREMENT: The USGA is losing 50 years of experience and passion when Rhonda Glenn retires on May 9. Glenn’s affiliation with the USGA began in 1963 when she played the U.S. Girls Junior Amateur, the first of her 11 USGA events, which included five U.S. Women’s Amateurs. Over the years, she has expand- ed her role as a writer, broad- caster and historian, and she later became a fixture running interviews at the U.S. Women’s Open. Masters might consider officials with every group By DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer health. You have to practice hard and play hard,” Hynes said. “The concern is making sure we’re giving guys the right amount of work level to be sharp and ready when the play- offs start.” Take it easy After winning both games in St. John’s last weekend and clinching a playoff spot, Hynes rewarded his players with a day off on Tuesday. The team will resume its regular practice schedule today at Coal Street. Depth at another level During the preseason there was a lot of talk centered around the Penguins’ depth at the defensive position. But now the organization has stockpiled depth at the goaltending posi- tion as well, beginning in the offseason when Jeff Zatkoff was signed as a free agent and Pittsburgh selected netmind- ers Matthew Murray and Sean Maguire in the 2012 draft. Over the weekend they added stand- out college goaltender Eric Hartzell when they signed him for the rest of the season. It’s a situation that has Hynes excited. “I haven’t seen (Hartzell) play, but his track record and the success that he’s had is impressive,” Hynes said. “It’s encouraging. It’s something we talked about as an organization over the last couple of years and it’s good to see we’ve taken some steps to strengthen those areas. It’s such an important po- sition.” Defensive depth for the playoffs The Penguins signed D Peter Merth to a PTO on Tuesday. Merth recorded a goal, 16 assists and 75 penalty minutes in 48 games with the Wheeling Nailers this year. The 25-year old also saw AHL action during the 2012-13 season, signing a PTO with the Hamilton Bull- dogs on Mar. 15 and posting an assist in seven appearances. Now a third-year pro, Merth played in 11 contests for Wil- kes-Barre/Scranton last season, contributing two assists and 22 minutes of penalties. Hynes said he hoped to bring Merth up this season but an opening never presented itself. “We feel he can help our team with depth and physicality for the playoffs,” Hynes said. In other moves, Hynes said W Chris Collins, who has been playing on a PTO, will stay with the team for the playoffs. PENS Continued from Page 1B “This is what everyone thought might happen” follow- ing the 9/11 attacks, said Tom Derderian, coach of the Greater Boston Track Club and author of a book about the Boston Mara- thon. “This is a 26-mile foot race. With both sides of the street, that’s 52 miles to secure,” Derde- rian said. “How? You can’t have everyone go through metal de- tectors.” Marathons aren’t just for elite athletes: They have steadily in- creased in popularity among recreational runners and those raising money for charity. In the aftermath of Monday’s attack, which President Barack Obama called an act of terrorism, some marathons heard from run- ners wondering whether races would be canceled. Yet nearly 40 events, all over the globe, are set for this weekend alone — including Hamburg, Belgrade, Salt Lake City, Lansing, Mich., and the Jersey Shore. There was no indication that any would be called off. Scott Dickey, CEO of Compet- itor Group Inc., which manages more than 35 marathons and half marathons around the world, said he’s “been in deep conversa- tions already” with the FBI and government agencies “to talk about enhancing security pro- tocol and personnel” for the St. Jude Country Music Marathon and Half Marathon in Nashville on April 27. “What we’re going to do with yesterday’s event is we’re going to learn from it, and we’re going to increase, certainly in the near term and probably permanently, the number of security person- nel, both private and public, at our start lines and finish lines,” Dickey said. “We’re going to review the protocol and pro- cedures that are in place and enhance and improve them so that we’re in a better position to prevent these types of tragedies from taking place.” Susie Smisek, director of Sep- tember’s Omaha Marathon, said Boston does, indeed, change the way race organizers go about their job now. “We’ll make sure we have more security available, that people are more aware and are aware of their surroundings,” Smisek said. “Will it make us more vigi- lant in what we do? You bet.” Rick Nealis, director of the Marine Corps Marathon since 1993, pointed to factors that make these races unique among sports — and, therefore, more of a challenge to secure. “It’s a participatory sport. At any running event, especially Boston, world champion and Olympic athletes stand at the start line, and at the same time, there’s someone from Boise, Idaho, or Duluth, Minn., that did the qualifying time and are in the same field, on the same course, in the same weather as these champions, competing,” Nealis said. “In stadiums, turnstiles, hard- ened buildings, you can control who’s going in, and do all the safety checks and have a secure event,” added Nealis, whose race course cuts through Virginia and the nation’s capital, ending near the Iwo Jima Memorial. “On roads, in an open venue, when you take 26.2 miles of open space, it’s the beauty of the sport and at the same time, in this day and age, part of the risk assess- ment. Unless we decide we’re going to run around a track in quarter-mile loops hundreds of times.” The New York City Mara- thon’s finishers grew from nearly 28,000 in 1992 to more than 47,000 in 2011, and organizers estimate they’ve had as many as roughly 2 million spectators in a year. The race was not held in 2012, after Superstorm Sandy hit the area, but Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday: “It’s certainly our intention to have the marathon” this November. “A marathon is 26 miles long, so, you know, there are points of vulnerability — by definition, there are going to be,” New York City Police Commissioner Ray- mond Kelly said, noting the race’s security plans will be reevaluated. According to Running USA’s website, a record 30 marathons had more than 10,000 finishers in 2012, led by Chicago with more than 37,000, followed by London with more than 36,000. The Honolulu Marathon ranked seventh on that list with just over 24,000. “You can’t plan to stop every- thing, but certainly everyone will look at tightening things up, for sure. You have to strike some balances between what is feasible and what is possible and what is necessary,” said Jim Barahal, president of Decem- ber’s Honolulu race. “It’s going to have effects outside the mara- thon world, which in reality is a pretty low-profile world. It can happen anywhere, at any time.” Dorte Vibjerg, organizer of the Copenhagen Marathon, said “the incident in Boston means we will have more focus on security.” “We can never prevent any- thing from happening,” she said, “but we can minimize and react fast should anything happen.” MARATHON Continued from Page 1B KEN POLLOCK’S 1-800-223-1111 Hours: Monday-Friday 9-8pm ; Saturday 9-5pm CLOSE TO EVERYWHERE www.VOLVOofWBS.com 339 HIGHWAY 315, PITTSTON, PA * Sale price plus tax & tags. $2500 Volvo Allowance applied. $ 37,995 * SALE PRICE MSRP $43,170 STK# V1037 0 2012 VOLVO S80 FWD PREMIUM PLUS S u b u r b a n N e w s F R E E A D S W e d n e s d a y , A p r il 1 0 , 2 0 1 3 - 2 5 i e o N Reg st r t WI TICKETS to Baseball Games!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Champ Bailey is cranky. He’s also as confident as ever. And no, he’s not going to ad- mit his body is creaking as he ap- proaches his 35th birthday and prepares to face rookie receiv- ers who were just learning their ABCs when he entered the NFL in 1999. He’s still irked by that loss to Baltimore in the playoffs and the way he got burned by Ravens re- ceiver Torrey Smith. He’s heard the whispers that he should move to safety and how quarter- backs now won’t shy away from him anymore. With nearly three dozen can- dles about to adorn his birthday cake, Bailey insists he’s not will- ing to concede anything to age, has no plans to switch positions and welcomes any quarterback or offensive coordinator who wants to target him in 2013. And if the Broncos want to se- lect his heir apparent in the up- coming draft, he’s fine with that, too. “I’m blessed, trust me,” Bailey said this week as the Broncos re- ported for the start of voluntary offseason workouts. “Everybody back there would love to stand up here and say, ‘I’m 35 years old.’ It is what it is. When my time runs out, I’ll run away from it. But for the time being, I’m still here.” Bailey was among several Broncos stars who had poor performances in their early exit from the playoffs three months ago after they’d earned the AFC’s top seed with an 11-game win- ning streak and seemed Super Bowl-bound. Smith got behind the 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback for a 59-yard touchdown and then beat him for a 32-yard score, all part of an un- characteristic day for the Bron- cos, who lost that game in double overtime, once again denying Bai- ley a chance at a championship that has always eluded him. “Don’t get me wrong, but even if we’d won, I’d look at it the same way: What did I mess up? What I could’ve done better going forward, little things like that. I’m always looking at tape the same way, not hurting about it,” Bailey said. “It does hurt that you lose the last game, but you can’t let it affect you.” Bailey concedes the 59-yard TD was entirely his fault but ar- gues he was in position on the 32-yarder. So, in his eyes, that bad af- ternoon doesn’t foreshadow an abrupt drop in his game. “Just recognizing what he was doing faster. A guy like that you can’t be a half-step behind,” Bai- ley said. “He got me on that play. The second TD he just made a great play, caught me slipping. But on that long touchdown play early in the first half, he got away from me. The guy’s fast. You can’t lose a half-step.” Bailey insists he hasn’t done that as he approaches his 15th season in the NFL. “It’s my responsibility. When that guy runs down field, I’ve got to be on top of it,” Bailey said. “Error on my part, and they took advantage of it.” Bailey’s transgressions were largely overlooked in the im- mediate aftermath of that game because safety Rahim Moore al- lowed Jacoby Jones to score on a 70-yard touchdown pass in the waning seconds of regulation. Bailey will try to help the third-year safety overcome that Bill Buckner-like ball-through- the-legs moment and he said Moore has the right frame of mind to get over it. “‘Let’s go try again,’ that’s pretty much his mentality,” Bai- ley said. “I don’t think it affected himas much as people think. Be- cause he got so much better last year. I can’t wait to see him im- prove this year. People want to talk about one play … even with myself, you can’t define some- body off one play.” Still, in the foggy hangover of that loss, fans quickly began grumbling about Bailey need- ing to move to safety lest he face many more afternoons like that one. “They’re going to do that ev- ery play. I don’t really care,” Bai- ley said. “It’s not just one or two plays that’s going to determine how good you are — it’s the body of work. Those plays don’t define me. “Especially at 35.” Most cornerbacks blow out 35 candles on their cake about the time they’re relaxing on the beach or chipping out of sand bunkers, not preparing for the grind of another NFL season. With Bailey’s advanced age and with their other starting cor- nerback, free agent Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, playing on a one-year deal, the Broncos could draft a cornerback high in next week’s draft. “That’s fine,” Bailey said. “I don’t really look at that any kind of way. I see what players they draft, howcanthey helpus? Plain and simple. Every guy is looking to be replaced at some point. I’ve been looked at that way for the past six or seven years.” Bailey is accustomed to the ever-changing landscape of NFL rosters. The Broncos made two big changes on his side of the ball this offseason, losing pass-rush- er Elvis Dumervil and signing Rodgers-Cromartie. By ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer Bailey brushes off age, talk of moving to safety K BUSINESS SECTI ON B IN BRIEF New GM pickups to debut General Motors plans to roll out a line of completely revamped midsize pickup trucks, with gas mileage and features designed to take sales from Toyota’s market-leading Tacoma. The trucks will replace the aging Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Mark Reuss, GM’s North American president, said Tuesday the trucks will be able to do 95 percent of the work that a big truck can do. Sales of midsize and small pickups slumped after the recession as business- es curtailed spending. Ford Motor Co. stopped selling its Ranger small pickup in the U.S. in December of 2011 to focus on sales of its full-size F-150. Now truck sales are recovering as parts of the U.S. economy, particularly the housing sector, recover. Internet advertising up U.S. Internet advertising revenue grew 15 percent to a record $36.6 billion in 2012, with mobile ad revenue growing faster than other types, according to a new report Tuesday. The report from the Interactive Adver- tising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoo- pers said that mobile ad revenue more than doubled from the previous year to $3.4 billion. It accounted for 9 percent of total Internet ad revenue in 2012. In 2011, the $1.6 billion in mobile ad revenue made up 5 percent of the total. Mobile ads represent an area of growth for many companies, including Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. Facebook started showing mobile ads last year. Research firm eMarketer, which includes more types of mobile ads in its calculations, expects U.S. mobile ad spending to grow 77 percent in 2013 to $7.29 billion from $4.11 billion last year. Consumer prices down U.S. consumer prices declined last month as the cost of gas fell sharply and food prices were unchanged. The tame reading is the latest evidence that the sluggish economy is keeping inflation in check. The consumer price index declined a seasonally adjusted 0.2 percent in March, after jumping 0.7 percent in February, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Gas prices fell 4.4 percent, reversing part of February’s 9.1 percent gain. The figures come a day after the prices of many commodities, including copper and oil, fell in response to a report of slower than expected growth in China. That suggests U.S. consumer prices will likely stay low in the coming months.

Federal authorities in New York City weren’t naming names, but they said the poker players included pro athletes, Hollywood celebrities and Wall Street executives. None of them was facing charges. The money-laundering investiga- tion led to arrests Tuesday in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and else- where around the country. There also were FBI raids at an apartment in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue and a Madison Avenue art gallery owned by two of the defendants. Among those named in an indict- ment filed in federal court was a wealthy Russian fugitive, Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov. He was already under indictment in a separate U.S. case accusing him of bribing Olympic figure skating judges at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. In a two-month period beginning in late 2011, the money-laundering ring paid Tokhtakhounov $20 million in illegal proceeds, the indictment says. Along with the illegal poker games, the ring operated “an international gambling business that catered to oli- garchs residing in the former Soviet Union and throughout the world,” the indictment says. Prosecutors allege proceeds were laundered through shell companies in Cyprus and in the United States. Celebrity poker games linked to Russian mob By TOMHAYS Associated Press WASHINGTON — The International Monetary Fund has lowered its outlook for the world economy this year, predict- ing that government spending cuts will slow U.S. growth and keep the euro cur- rency alliance in recession. The global lending organization cut its forecast for global growth to 3.3 percent this year, down from its forecast in Janu- ary of 3.5 percent. It didn’t alter its predic- tion of 4 percent global growth in 2014. The IMF expects the U.S. economy to expand 1.9 percent this year. That’s be- low its January estimate of 2.1 percent and last year’s U.S. growth of 2.2 percent. Still, the IMF says the U.S. economy is improving and should expand 3 percent in 2014. U.S. job growth has accelerated, the housing market is recovering and banks are more willing to lend. The IMF predicts that the 17-country eurozone will shrink 0.3 percent in 2013 and grow only 1.1 percent in 2014. The fund issued its latest World Eco- nomic Outlook on Tuesday in advance of the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington later this week. Finance ministers from the G-20, a group of developed and large developing countries, will also meet. On Monday, renewed worries about the global economy contributed to a plunge in the stock market. The Dow Jones industrial average sank 265 points, the biggest one-day decline since Nov. 7. Monday’s drop was triggered partly by a report of slower growth in China, the world’s second-largest economy after the United States. Christine Lagarde, the IMF’s manag- ing director, said in a speech last week that the agenda for the meetings will in- clude how to accelerate growth, create jobs and reform banking regulations. The impact of government spending cuts and tax increases in the U.S. and other countries will also likely be a topic of this week’s talks in Washington begin- ning Thursday. During a visit to Berlin last week, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew urged European officials to focus on policies that would encourage economic growth, rather than simply cutting defi- cits. Developing countries may raise con- cerns at the G-20 about efforts by the U.S. Federal Reserve and Japan’s central bank to stimulate their economies by buying more government bonds and other as- sets. Those moves can lower the value of the dollar and yen, which can make U.S. and Japanese exports cheaper overseas. That prospect has raised fears that other countries will take similar steps. IMF cuts its forecast for global economy By CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER AP Economics Writer Ap photo Workers take advantage of the region’s mild weather, as they prepare a house to be repainted near New Vernon, N.J. WASHINGTON — U.S. home- builders broke the 1 million mark in March for the first time since June 2008. The gain signals continued strength for the housing recovery at the start of the spring buying season. The overall pace of homes started rose 7 percent from February to March to a seasonally adjusted annu- al rate of 1.04 million, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. Apartment construction, which tends to fluctuate sharply from month to month, led the surge: It jumped nearly 31 percent to an an- nual rate of 417,000, the fastest pace since January 2006. By contrast, single-family home building, which makes up nearly two- thirds of the market, fell 4.8 percent to an annual rate of 619,000. That was down from February’s pace of 650,000, the fastest since May 2008. The government said February’s pace was a sharp 5.2 percent higher than it had previously estimated. Applications for building permits, a gauge of future construction, de- clined 3.9 percent to an annual rate of 902,000. It was down from February’s rate of 939,000, which was also nearly a five-year high. Scott Laurie, president of Olson Homes, said that last month’s falloff in single-family starts is not repre- sentative of what’s happening in the market. A scarcity in ready-to-build land has many builders working to get lo- cal governments to approve new land for construction, he said. The process can take 12 to 18 months. A survey of homebuilders released Monday noted similar concerns. “You’ll see starts will continue to increase as the year goes on and new projects start to open up,” Laurie said. Laurie’s company builds homes in Southern California priced roughly from $325,000 to $750,000. He says Olson’s construction starts are on pace to climb at least 40 percent this year, as the builder moves to add as many as eight new communities. “The market started showing im- provement in the early part of 2012 and really hasn’t slowed down since,” said Laurie. “Right now, were very bullish.” The jump in home building is ex- pected to contribute to economic growth in 2013 for a second straight year — a reversal from 2006 through 2011, when it held back the economy.

Taste SECTI ON C THE TIMES LEADER WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2013 timesleader.com CHEF’S CORNER RUTH CORCORAN CORK BAR & RESTAURANT Ah, avocados: So good and good for you We all knoW avocados are deli- cious, but research shows they also are good for you. Classified as a fruit and often re- ferred to as the al- ligator pear, avocados are considered a “super food” because of their many health benefits. They are a high-fiber, cholesterol-free food that provides nearly 20 essential nutrients. In addition to being an excellent source of healthy fats, they have many other benefits. Their content of many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and folic acid, can help us maintain a healthy heart. They are an excellent source of po- tassium, which helps in controlling blood pressure, and they have been proven to help lower cholesterol levels and help protect against eye disease and stroke. When purchasing avocados, look for fruit that is firm yet gives when gently squeezed. If it’s still hard, it’s not ready to be eaten. This recipe is a great way to enjoy this healthy food. Stop by Cork this week; we’ll be offering this tasty recipe as a special. CRAB, AVOCADO & TOMATO STACK Makes 6 servings Stacks 2 medium avocados, diced 1 cup diced tomatoes 1/2 cup diced red onions 1 pound of lump crab meat 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, minced 2 tablespoon fresh lime juice Salt and freshly ground black pepper Cilantro sprigs for garnish DRESSING 1/4 cup fresh lime juice 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 1 tablespoon sugar salt and freshly ground black pepper Combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic and minced cilantro. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Put the cubed avocados in a bowl with the lime juice and toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. Place a 2-1/2- to 3-inch mold on your serving plate. Lightly press in 1/6th of the avocado mixture for the first layer. Top with 1/6th of the to- mato/onion mixture, pressing down slightly to fill mold. Then add 1/6th of the lump crab meat and press gently. Carefully lift off the ring mold. Repeat the process to make all of your stacks. Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Immediately before serving, drizzle a bit of ginger-lime dressing over each stack and gar- nish with fresh cilantro.

Pesto meatloaf is an updated version of one of america’s best-loved foods. This meatloaf takes only 15 minutes to bake. The secret is to bake it on a baking sheet, which allows hot air to circulate all around the meat. While the meatloaf is cooking, you can whip up my tasty potatoes. I cut the potatoes into small pieces for quick cooking and use a waxy potato like a yellow or red potato. They taste creamy without the need for a lot of cream. leave skin on for flavor, texture and color. Serve with sliced tomatoes on the side. Wine suggestion: This herbal meat loaf would go well with an herbal white sauvignon blanc. This meal contains calories 573 per serving with 33 percent of calories from fat. Helpful hints: • If white meat chicken is not avail- able, use ground turkey breast instead. • The quickest way to chop chives is to snip them with a scissors. • 4 tablespoons dried chives can be used instead of fresh.

Pesto meatloaf is fresh, fun and quick By LINDA GASSENHEIMER McClatchy-Tribune News Service An herbal pesto meatloaf pairs well with an herbal white sauvignon blanc and a pile of skin-on mashed potatoes. See MEATLOAF, Page 3C S pring is salad season, a time when green is as desirable on the plate as it is on the lawn. But ask several different people which kind of greens they prefer, and what other colors and flavors they like to add to dress up those greens, and you’ll probably get several different answers. and greens themselves are evolving, with toppings become ever trendier, making an old-standby salad bar a fresh new experience these days. RaisingthesaladbaR By JOE SYLVESTER | [email protected] Greens have some colorful newcompanions these days PETE G. WILCOX PHOTOS/THE TIMES LEADER The salad bar at the Hanover Township Gerrity’s is a study in color. Herb and Tracey Spencer of Swoyersville like the bar Weg- mans has to offer. Tracey, 42, especially likes the vegetarian salad station at the Scranton location. But some days, she’ll try something different at the Wilkes-Barre Township store, which is where she was on Fri- day, selecting some hot food from the Homestyle bar near the salad bar. “This is my cheat day,” she said as she selected meatballs and other heated foods before adding some salad items. Herb, 47, said he fnds the Homestyle bar, with its stuffed shells, pierogies, fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and vari- ous pasta salads, more appeal- ing than the adjacent asian food bar. He said it appeals to all na- tionalities. “The United States is the melting pot; Wegmans is the melting pot of everybody,” Herb Spencer said. “I could be Polish and German with the same container.” When it comes to actual salad greens, though, the melt- ing pot might get even more interesting. arcadian harvest, otherwise known as field mix, leafy Romaine and traditional, crunchy iceberg lettuce join cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower and broccoli along- side fresh fruit, such as canta- loupe, honeydew, strawberries and grapes. and cooked items, such as chicken, hard-boiled eggs, carrots, asparagus and broccoli, also add to the ap- peal. “There are 32 items — 42 with the homestyle bar,” said Dennis Dorney, chef for Weg- mans Market Cafe in the Wil- kes-Barre Township store. The most popular item, said ‘Ready-to-eat’ Caesar salad is a popular choice at the salad bar at Gerrity’s in Hanover Township.

MEATLOAF Continued from Page 1C Michael Zorn, team leader for prepared foods at the store, is the cored iceberg lettuce with toppings and dressing inside, such as bacon bits and ranch dressing. There are other favorites. They’re the items in the bins store employees have to refill the most. “Aside from the lettuces, I would say chicken, cantaloupe, mixed fruit salad …” Zorn said. And the fruit will become even more popular as the weath- er gets warmer. But is it all healthy? Zorn said most items on the salad bar are, but the cheeses and dressings contain the most calories. Choices, choices, choices Gerrity’s Supermarkets, par- ticularly the Hanover Township location, are home to other high- ly heralded salad bars, which offer about 50 items, including ready-to-eat Caesar salad and separate containers of mixed meat, cheese, salsa, lettuce, to- matoes and taco shells. “They can even make their own taco salad if they want,” store manager John Zionce said. But this time of year, just like elsewhere, another itemis about to take center stage. “Now, obviously, we’re going to go into the fresh-cut fruit.” Strawberries, cut pineapple and grapes are about to come out of hiding. The Gerrity’s salad bar, which already offers a variety of greens and veggies, along with olives, pickled eggs and even dill pick- les sealed in plastic bags, also will expand. Have it out But grocery stores, of course, are not the only places to find fresh salads. Mike McGinley of Kingston is not a big salad eater, but he is drawn to the salad bar at the Bear Creek Inne, where he has dinner four or five times a year. “Was there for dinner last night, and after I left and told some people about dinner, they said ‘Do they STILL have that same big salad bar?’ Free with every meal and all different stuff,” McGinley wrote on The Times Leader Features Face- book page. He said he loves the Bear Creek Inne salad bar because he can add pasta, cheese and olives to his lettuce. “So it’s nice for someone like me who isn’t a real salad junkie, because it has light green leaves, the cold Italian pasta, squares of cheese, croutons and black olives,” McGinley continued. “That, lathered in French dress- ing, is my ideal salad. Although I need to get more adventurous and try the other toppings avail- able sometime.” Lorraine Eddowes, Bear Creek Inne manager, said the salad bar, included with dinner, comes with potato salad, cole- slaw, red beets and plenty of other extras. “I really don’t think there too many places with salad bars any- more,” she said. Fire and Ice on Toby Creek, an upscale Shavertown restaurant, still has one, and it’s praised by Su- san Nardone of Plains Township. “Their orange cognac salad dressing is to die for,” she wrote on the newspaper’s features Facebook page. Molly Davis, a hostess at Fire and Ice, backed that up, calling the dressing “hugely popular.” Also in demand are the fresh baked breads, honey thyme but- ter and soup such as butternut squash soup, as well as a Guin- ness chili, Davis said. But for those who prefer to eat from their own “salad bar,” at- home, simple options are plenti- ful as well. Nardone likes to make a salad consisting of “nothing but good olive oil, good balsamic vinegar, garlic granules, salt and pepper … simple and delicious.” SUSAN NARDONE’S SALAD RECIPE Ingredients: Lettuce of your choice Vegetables and other top- pings of choice 2 or 3 parts olive oil to one part balsamic vinegar Assemble lettuce and other toppings. Pour oil and vinegar on the salad individually. Add salt, pepper and garlic gran- ules to taste and toss. PETE G.

I spoke to her about it recently and tried to explain how I feel. She has responded, and things are improving. Still, she spends most of her time on her cellphone checking email, Facebook, Pinterest and watching Netflix. At bedtime, she stays on her phone or laptop until after I have gone to bed. Has she fallen in love with her cell- phone? Even if we don’t have sex all the time, I would just like to be able to talk to her or hold her for a minute before we go to sleep. Any sugges- tions other than throwing her phone out the window? — Abandoned Husband in Utah Dear Abandoned: You say your wife has responded and things are hopeful. That means she is at least receptive to working on your relationship. The problems that cellphones cause in relationships are something I am hearing about with increasing frequency. People have become so dependent upon their digital compan- ions that in some cases it’s impossible to turn them off because people have become literally addicted. In cases like this, a licensed thera- pist should be consulted. Of course, like any addiction the sufferer must be willing to admit there is a problem and want to do something about it. Dear Abby: Six months ago, I real- ized I had a drinking problem and decided to go through a chemical de- pendence program as an outpatient. I’m sober now and attend meetings a few times a week. My problem is someone I was barely acquainted with who was also in the same pro- gram. I didn’t regard it as a problem at first, but now I’m concerned. At a meeting a few months ago, I mentioned to the group that I also attend a meeting in another town closer to my home. Next thing I know, this man is attending the same meeting. He always makes a point of telling me about what’s going on with the people we went through treat- ment with. I am active in service work and plan to attend a regional meeting at a resort over a weekend. Guess who has suddenly decided to do the same? I’m nervous about being around this man. I don’t want to compromise his sobriety, but I can’t stand seeing him at every meeting and event I at- tend. My husband is also bothered by it, and I’m considering not at- tending any meetings at all because he’s creeping me out. How should I handle this? — Sober And Creeped Out Dear Creeped Out: If there is a group moderator or contact, discuss this with that person. Look around for another group. Even if you will have to travel a bit farther, it will be worth the effort. If you do run into him in the future and he tries to engage you in conver- sation about other patients from your program, cut the conversation short by telling him you are not interested in hearing about them. One of the hallmarks of 12-step programs is ano- nymity — and it should be respected. DEAR ABBY A D V I C E Woman’s affair with her cellphone leaves her husband feeling cheated To receive a collection of Abby’s 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 Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor- ris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage is included.) ARIES (March 21-April 19). You would be wise to extend your personal network, as there are opportunities on the horizon for you that will require you to have a wider reach. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You easily sense when people are in need, but it will take more concentration and talent to accurately pinpoint the need and know precisely how you might help. Or, you could just ask! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your strong values are attractive, especially to those around you who could use more structure in their lives. You communicate powerfully by living your values. CANCER (June 22-July 22). When you notice that someone needs assistance, you spring into action. In fact, you can’t under- stand people who don’t notice. But it takes all types in the world, and you’ll observe many of those types in action today. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Success in one area of life won’t necessarily translate to success in another, but the basic principles still apply: You have to be willing to learn what it takes to be masterful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Taking the point of view that you should know something already will only stop you from learning. Better to admit what you don’t know and gather experience than to stumble around in the dark. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your direct and assured action will be necessary. Hesitate, and you’ll lose power. Wait, and it will only get harder and harder to influ- ence the situation. Act now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you really think about it — and you will today — miracles abound. You believe this because you’ve seen the evidence, and you con- tinue to produce more evidence because you believe it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How would your life change if you made happiness your No. 1 priority? The answer to that question may inspire you to change your schedule slightly. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You do trust the wisdom of the ages, but even more beneficial is the timely value you find in what specific people tell you. You’ll take to heart the stories and advice of friends and family. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The line between respect and attrac- tion is easily blurred these days. You’ll avoid murky relationships and messy situations when you stay clear about your feelings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To someone who doesn’t know you very well, it seems like you are all smiles and acceptance. But woe to the one who crosses your lines. After all, what good is a boundary that is not enforced? TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 17). You make a hobby of shocking and impressing people this year. Your ideas are bold. The execu- tion of those ideas is sometimes brilliant; other times, a brilliant fail and a good story. May brings strange luck. June brings the chance to glue broken relation- ships back together. July fea- tures social and professional growth. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 33, 2 and 15. No Clipping Required.
